u sain you have linear 3betting range in SBvBTN. And still u 3bet 86s? How much u 3bet?

AJ hand seems fine.  the 3bet is a little questionable and depends on his specific tendencies, but the rest of the decisions seem automatic given that 3bet.  he is leggo instructor apotheosis fwiw

no offense but you rambled on way too long here, like how people used to never flat 3bets oop.  ofc we know it's ok to flat 3bets oop now.  that didn't leave you much time to talk about hands which is what the people want!

it took 41mins to see two bad played hands, without any good analyze.. -p

I agree the vid is sub par but it's still good learning material overall.. 86s hand prob c-bet then c/f on turn .

and Apotheosis is the leggo coach Apotheosis you're right ~ he prob knows quite some stuffs about coaching.

Also funny that Raph is always telling a story around the cards. he is more of a feel player I guess than a technical player that's why he is turning around a bit

I found Raphael's discussion and analysis of both hands interesting. He did note that his turn bet with the 86s hand was bad. 

Like Raphael I am also trying to never flat a button opener's raise from the SB mostly due to how much easier and simpler it is to play a 3bet or fold strategy. However, having only a 15% linear range against a button's min raise seems too tight.  I am using something more in the 20% to 25% range against a min raise and going a little tighter against larger opens.  I would be interested in hearing what others think is optimal.

P.S. 86 suited doesn't get included into a linear range for me until I get closer to 33% of all possible hands.

Apparently people didnt like this video much, this was more of standalone anyways, so Ill be back reviewing full sessions for next time.

Keep commenting and criticizing, Ill take it into consideration for future content.

I think that Apotheo expoiltatively 4bets very few bluff combos in this spot himself and therefore thinks that flating the 4b and flop cbet vs. him is bad.

Not enough content, 2 hands and not amazingly interesting or anything, just my thoughts :). Liked your vids so far but 2 tabling reviews also seem a little slow, maybe reviewing 4 tables of zoom next time?

You say you flat 4bets more than most regulars, I've been playing a (mostly) 5b or fold strategy at 100bb but am starting to rethink this. The guys at the top tend to flat tons of 4bets with random suited stuff and also some of the bottom of their value 3bets, like AQ, JJ etc to make up for this. Do you also play similar to this? I got berated in chat today by a HSNL reg when I 5b jammed AQo bb vs co.

Also, because you defend so much looser, would you mind sharing your bb/100 from the bb?

Thanks :)

Im not sure why when talking strategies vs 4-bets people always only mention stack size as a decision factor when the direct odds you're getting ie the 4-bet sizing you're facing is far more important

The way I see it, you have to watch direct odds and compare to your equity vs vilain's 4-bet range but also (and it's maybe the more important and tricky part) to estimate how much of your equity you will realise post-flop. I am not an expert by any mean to work on it .... But I think stack size is a factor (among others as position, initiative, ranges,...). I mean having implied (or reverse implied odds) will impact on the % of equity we will realize on average.

AJ is fine. Seems that this Leggo coach is stuck in 2010. By now he shoul realize, that good regs are not folding any of their 3 betting range to such a small 4 bet while IP and 165bb deep. Wp Rapf

I thought it was good discussion about the hands and history of the the game was interesting.....But try to pick up the pace a bit.  Maybe outline your points that you want to talk about in the hands next time.  You might be able to do as many as 10 hands in a video if you are more organized next time....Overall thought the video had some great content.

I agree that the AJ hand there weren't many decisions to be made.  His sizings kind of just priced you in at every point and you obviously shove the river when you make the nuts.  What would your plan be on some other rivers if he shoved?  And I assume if checked to on rivers you are shoving for value on most blanks?

I liked the review of the 2 hands, but prefer the HH vids that cover more hands and situations in 40min.

Enjoyed the video, the 86s hand had good commentary. Ralph, can you expand on the AQ hand mentioned in the comments where he got berated for 3b/5b shoving on the CO? 

thanks for the video, but try to make it more interesting...

You could say all these things in 10-15 minutes..

1) I very much liked your first 2 videos, and I was impressed how you managed to not go off to to many long ended tangents. This vid I felt like there were too many boring tangents.

2) In regards to the 68s hand, personally I don't CB OTF, not saying its bad. But even if it is immediately profitable, I think the probability of being able to bluff later in hand times the EV of bluffing later when we reach that decision node(OTT or OTR) is going to be higher then a flop CB. Yes we do have more nutty hands in our range and hence have a high degree of polarization, but equity wise OTF its going to be pretty close to 50/50(depending on what betting and 3B flatting ranges we use, I would suspect he will have slightly better equity given we are 3Bing was wide as 86s) also villian as position on a board were it is of relatively high value.

3)The 86 hand and value river shoving range OTR. If you think shoving TT and K9 OTR is going to get called more than 50% of the time( we are out of position, that only holds true when we are IP value shoving), this does not mean we should not value shove. We need to account for the opportunity cost of getting shoved on(when we have a bluff catcher and we check and get jammed into we realize EV0, assuming villain is balanced or too value heavy) The theoretical upper limit of shoving OOP should be [1-(B/(B+P)] i.e 1-[295/(295+415)]= ~.59, so our value cutting frequency should lie somewhere between .5 and .59, depending on how often villain jams into us when we check and we effectively loose the pot.

4)Glad to hear more about Apotheosis. Ive been looking for coaching, I know he is a Lego coach and one of my poker friends, who I respect a lot has told me if I want a good coach I should get him, mainly because he is open to knew ideas and very skilled. Although I have not watched his vids yet because i don't have a lego membership, I wont even bother signing up now. Thanks for the saved investment. Him berating you and trying to 'educate' you makes me think A) he is a mental game fish B)the types of things he was berating you over indicate he it is unlikely he is open to knew ideas(although I assume he was tilted) 3Betting and the AJ and calling the 4B I dont think anyone can say with certainty what is correct there. Personally Im definitely not folding when 4B, but im usually not 3Betting either(that's not to say its wrong) and you also have more information than I do. 

5) I think topkat5757 berates everyone online. Ive railed him once against giggy and I observed it. I played with him at a live tournament a couple of months ago, he seamed quite nice and he didn't berate anyone -_-.
