Hi Ben – Nice Video
14:03 – Kh Qs
Flop (Ad 5h 6s)
a. How often are you bluffing the flop here, and what sizing would you recommend if you are going to bluff this flop?
b. How often would you estimate that the preflop raiser would be check folding the flop on this board (a) for a bet of 1/3 pot, or (b) 2/3 pot?
c. Are you barreling turn / river a lot if he check calls flop and you are bluffing?
Thanks
But if you want to ask me instead I'll do my best....
I think we're doing a lot of small betting on this flop for value/protection, and then picking bluffs based on how board runs out later. Typically <50% pot. This hand won't bet very often, but probably more than 0; I'd roll like 10% B here. I would guess PFR will fold a bit more than 1-A. KQ is a little too strong to barrel unless we catch 2 cards that are very good for our range, so say we B flop and it comes 7s/8s and we have Ks.
Hey Ben, enjoyed the vid - even though I don't play 2-7 Triple Draw it's still entertaining to watch.
With AA on 496K (4:30) after villain x/r you on the flop, you decided to mix between bet (presumably a bigger size) and check. What do you think about using a smaller bet of 1/3 pot with a large portion of your range? My understanding is against that sizing villain will need to do a lot of raising, which I imagine is going to be tricky to do.
The more polar your villain's flop XR range is, the more you can torture them in this spot by sizing down on turn.
Most high stakes guys know the 964r is a high freq XR, smaller sizing, more merged range type of board, so they'll end up having a lot of hands that become marginal on the Ks; stuff like 9x/6x/4x and various weaker draws they decide not to barrel. Applying pressure on this type of range is accomplished by betting bigger.
24:05 Kd9x "These are just pure mix up spots, you have to be aggressively mixing"
Can you go into detail on why most hands are a mix on this texture and how our opponent can punish us if we play this spot unbalanced? Maybe a paragraph or two on 3flush flops in general?
If you look at Pio in these spots, many hands are mixing it up on the flop so that certain blockers aren't too important. I think a better plan than me explaining in paragraph form ( I was never too good at expository writing prompts) would be to run a monotone board in Pio and then nodelock one player to always bet or X many highly mixed hands, seeing how this limitation affects the nodelocked player's EV.
Until we have solutions for 3h+ nlhe we won’t have a definitive answer to sb 3b sizing. I believe the “reason” why bb sizes so large at 100bb is to make 4bet a relatively unattractive strategic option for IP, and I’ve chosen to extend this logic to sb.

Another solid video, good work.

Thanks for the video.
Can you elaborate on the largish 3bet size from sb.
I get big from bb but would have thought we have to size down a little with sb linear range?

sauce make more pure theory vids!
