Hi Krzysztof,
At 8mins you talk about 4betting ranges and being aware of your frequency’s and postflop play. I have a couple of questions as I’ve being having trouble researching 4bet ranges and postflop play.
First are you using a preflop solver to find your frequency’s? I dont have a preflop solver so I’ve just figured out my 4bet value range and then added a frequency of bluffing hands amounting to 50% of my value range, is this a reasonable way of figuring out a decent 4bettiing strategy?
Also when 4betting IP 100bb deep how would you structure the bluffing range? I understand when your deep you want to hit alot of diffrent flop textures so can be a bit more linesr. But when 100bb deep would you choose polar hands like A4o and K6s instead?
Also when doing sims on 4bet pots, as the range differ alot how would you PIO these spots? Using diffrent ranges and seeing the diffrence? Or making a general 4bet range that includes mixes of diffrent hands that resemble the player pools average ranges?
Sorry for the long winded question, love your videos
Hey ItsPokaBruv, Thanks!
I have seen a solution to a few 4betting range situations, but the strategy I implement in game is much simplified, and I go about designing it the way you do. I put a lot more importance on using lower connectors and not just polarized hands than most players do, so I would not just be using the A4 and Kxs combos that seem to be a lot of players go to 4bets. When you use the suited connectors in your 4betting ranges they gain equity both on high-card and very dry boards where you will struggle to find correct bluffing frequencies, as well as on low connected boards where they connect and gain value from opponents likely higher aggression.
Your last question is something I've thought about a lot myself, and what I end up doing is just running the same spot vs a couple of different potential range and see how my strategy ends up changing. Since tighter range sims don't take very long, it's not super time consuming.
Cheers.
can you show your mouse cursor on bodog
around 13 minute you discussing about 1bb bet and raise with K9 on Ace turn card, would you follow through on blank river for explo reasons/big size to target weakish range or normal?
14minute 2nd table 44/KK Don't see checking turn as a bad play there(villain perspective). Yeah Jx is good for his range but if he range bet flop he gotta check pretty frequently on any turn card (except 7maybe). I can see AA/JJ being checked pretty often and next candidate is King. It doesn't block your bluffs that hard (KQ/KT, K9s not a high % turn bet in your shoes) and protection is important but compare to QQ/TT not that terrible
In pio sim it is other way around with KK/QQ (overall 30-40% betting on the turn for OOP for 2/3 size). Probably it has to do that IP have more KJ on the turn than QJ (and he bets KJ IP pretty often compare to QJ)
Even with range flop bet for 1/3, OOP most % betting turn card is KK (more than 90%)
Hey Jeff_
The K9 hand, yes I would barrel that off on a brick pretty much every time vs this type of player.
KK hand: My wording was a little strong there haha. We have the AA and JJ which will make better checks, Jx hands are better and TT-99 become better checks for obvious reasons. I would be barreling off the KK and QQ, for all the reasons that I mentioned in the video. The J is just a card that makes it very easy for IP to call down correctly and I don't see much reason to expect high aggression from him. Again though, this is all very exploitable stuff, if we are playing this at the 2k tables I would be much more lenient with checking these hands, but at 500 I just don't see much point in dividing up these frequencies between hands that will be clearly better checks unless IP can play close to perfect.
Cheers.
Both 500$ and 2k$ actions are interesting for different reasons (exploitative plays in unknown tables // playing closer of GTO against regulars). As far as you keep both contents in your videos, mix or separate those stakes are fine !
Are you confident that raising smaller on the btn compared to earlier positions is good? Your doing minraise on btn, 2.5 earlier. The considerations are range strength, chances of getting 3b, and positions. On the btn, our chances of being 3b and having to fold are low, and we’re in position vs either player. If you open 2.5 Lj then fold to a 3b (5players left to act) you lost an additional 0.5bb compared to a minraise.
Hey feefyfohfum
You can make pretty much any sizing strategies that aren't ridiculous work preflop. This is what I've been doing for a while now and to be completely honest I just haven't really thought about changing this strategy. Sometimes I'll adjust these things when the game is overly passive or aggressive, but again, as a default strategy I don't think it'll make much difference if you use 2.5bb or 2bb on the btn, provided you're using the right ranges for both these bet sizes.
When you open 2.5bb your opponents also need a stronger range to 3bet, and they will generally be risking more $ when they 3bet you, which neutralizes the loss.
Cheers.
Great one Krzysztof!
In this one we squeezed preflop and we checkback turn. What do you think about a full range cbet strategy on this board ? I thought Kxxr would be good for this because we have the range advantage. I don't think I would play a checkback range but that may be too exploitable ?
I liked your line in this one checking back our SDV.
Villain choose to pot turn and 1/2 river and you said it was too thin, I was not sure about that but you could be right. Do you think from his perspective a 2/3 turn and 1/2 river line would be considered fine ? Or also thin regardless ?
Cheers! Have a nice day and keep the good vids coming ^^
Hey Bingo 123
Thank you !
KT hand: I think that depends on how wide you play this range preflop. I squeeze this spot a little too wide for a range cbet and would be giving OOP a pretty high EV raise with middling Kings. I would be careful with range cbets IP in general, it is really really nice for a lot of our hands to be able to realize an extra card of equity. If we change the spot to CO open SB call I would be fine with a range cbet, or even if we were just OOP with the same ranges.
43 hand: Having a hard time finding this, but I imagine it was just btn open bb call? 2/3 and 1/2 is getting closer obviously. IP flop xback isn't doing as poorly on this turn as it seems. I'll be checking back a % of all my fds, hands like AK at some frequency, as well as very high frequency of A5o and A6o, on top of that we will have a pretty aggro flop betting strategy on a board that's pretty good for IP, which reduces the number of air combos on the turn. I imagine with this line OOP is allowing us to start pitching some blocker-weak Ax on the river, so this AJ just looks super iffy.
Cheers.
Hey Krzysztof Slaski
Great video as usual. The 43dd hand at roughly 20mins in, where you elected to check back the flop and just call down the turn and river barrel. When I ran this hand into a solver, i saw although we are checking back 15-20% of our flush draws and 40% of top pairs, I was wondering why you thought his value bet with AJ was too thin. To be fair, he should be betting smaller with a non diamond combo on the river, but the EV of a small and large bet are basically the same. We should still have a bunch of hands that AJ beats in our range like weak Ax we have to defend vs a large bet, and the small amount of flushes and two pairs in our range isn't something that should stop OOP from value betting in my opinion. Also, do you think OOP is underbluffing and therefor you will fold a bit more of your Ax to his barrels? There are a lot of bare 1 card gut shot and weak 1 diamond flush draws that should be barreling here but I'm not so sure if I see people making those plays often enough. I also noticed that a hand like AQo and AKo with a diamond is always raising the river vs a 1/3rd pot bet since most of his small betting range is comprised of mainly top pair. Would you consider this an overplay vs the general population?
Looking forward to a response and more great content!
