Nice! I have been watching and re-watching your videos so much lately as your style feels so close to mine. I haven't even watched this yet but I can say how excited I am! Whoop whoop!
23:45 - Table 2 - Thoughts on geometric block-betting turn for 25% pot?
My thoughts are:
-You block the biggest portion of his Kx range (KQs). I imagine players would get in AK quite a bit pre-flop versus you from these positions. So QQ feels good enough to block bet as an equity-denial value-bet with quite a bit of hands in your range.
-The turn doesn't shift equity much so it feels like you should be growing the pot geometrically with your betting range. Being that the board is dry and your range has a lot of equity some type of small geometric sizing feels right.
30:05 - Table 3 - Your range is extremely capped here allowing both players to play almost perfectly against you. Do you think that there is often enough folds that this play is higher value than flatting OOP?
It feels like JJ in a BTNvsBB spot where BTN opens JJ for 2.5x and BB 3bets (for the optimal sizing) making JJ indifferent between shoving and 4betting small. In this scenario JJ doesn't really seem to care about balance but rather that there is enough dead money to incentivize getting it in now. Does this feel the same to you?
33:14 - Person Cam - Shot of whiskey mid-session? Sometimes my kids make my take mid-session shots of whiskey as well.. def exploitative! XD
-I agree with you on the cold 4b and this flop+turn, our range is incredibly strong, bet small twice makes sense for our range.
-He is a reg limping, so i will not be extremely capped, flatting some AKo to shove is quite nice here, I felt like 88-TT are mostly flats and JJ and AKo are mostly shoves.
-big fan of taking shots, but I have to dissapoint you here, it was only an espresso ;)
I will def have to do some pre-flop work to see how limping strategies can affect players strategies around them. Have you done this work yourself? If so, what program did you do it in? SPH?
Also, do you think there is quite a bit of value to be had by implementing limping strategies before many other players do that work? Seems that is one area that is under-studied...
I looked at some of the strategies from players limping, the reason why the strategy is succesful or has been is because of how bad other players play against it, as for example you see very little limping behind.
Every strategy where you have put a lot of work in that makes people uncomfortable (different from what they are used to see) can be a very succesful strategy
~17 when you jammed QTs in 3bet pot (3rd table) what kinda blockers you looking for this play? our range will have some % of PP which are dead now, they shove first probably and from other candidates T8,JT?
My ingame idea of the river seemed solver approved, there is some shoving going on, and some 2/3, other sizings are less frequent/liked.
Solver however purebets turn with QT-QKhh, it prefers check with combodraws such as T8hh,56hh, and Axhh is also very frequently checked (this al makes a lot of sense), looks like my main mistake is made on the turn.
22 and 44 are our main bluffs on the river, I decided to overbluff a little bit here, thinking my opponent (and most 200z regs) will have less slowplayed AA-KK type of stuff than he should.(this is debetable however).
thank you for fast reply:
Few suggestions
1)maybe you play less time and pick one spot to break down (from explo point of view) using node-locking and maybe even changing whole ranges.
2) back to ''roots'' would personally love to see some reg table battles or dynamic with fish at the table.
~37:50 --> QTcc hand, I struggle a lot to find bluffs on this turn, what do u think should be our more natural bluffs in turns that complete flushes?? If we should be bluffing at all here, cause maybe this turn we should be checking back a lot, what did u think?
I agree, its naturally a spot where people tend to underbluff as its hard to find these natural bluffs. If we are 3betting a linear range like most people tend to do these days, we are supposed to be barreling a mix of all our pocket pairs, especially JJ-99 HeartSpade combo's are high frequency barrels, all other hX combo's of pocket pairs are mixed strategys. We still have many hands that want to barrel turn such as 88/AK/most flushes, so its important to mix in a few bluffs with your pocket pairs. I would be a wrong adjustment to be checking back a lot because you find it hard to find bluffs.

p.s. Hair looks good (thumbs up)
Like the ideas! Will make a serie of a regular table session after this series end :)
I will let my hair architect know !
I think you are talking about Pastor (don’t know his hair color but I’ve seen him limp ep)
Hey, great video! Love how you explain concepts simply and clearly.
May I know what mic you were using in this video? It makes your voice very clear.
its the grey yeti USB mic.
Great video!!
