I believe I was assuming an UTG RFI of ~18% and CO RFI of ~30% and yes, I agree that KT98ss seems a little too speculative on the surface, but I checked it with solver and it seems to be okay as a combo that is at the bottom of our range. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, I think I agree with that argument. I think from what I have seen a lot of players in those types of populations seem to c-bet and then fold a lot when too merged, so that factored in my thought process, but I agree it's too ambitious to assume as much as I did, especially 3 ways and we are for sure more middling regarding where we are in our range. Great points!

AQJTdd turn could for sure be a better line if we decide on call. I think it depends a little more in this spot on the population than maybe in other spots because I see a lot of "screw it" calls with sets and worse flushes here often.

I think K875ds is fine to be honest, but especially in a weaker population for sure.

Yeah, I agreed with AS as well. Didn't like that the more I thought about it and should have mentioned in the video that a lot of that thinking was based on seeing a lot of folds vs raises, but it obvioulsy makes much more sense to attack their checks when they are betting merged and not balancing their checking range.

I think KJT4ds has a little more playability in single raised pots, so that could be why solver prefers that as a call and K875ds as a 3B. They are both quite close either way and I think can be argued at the end of the day for the lines you suggest.

For sure lots of good reasons to consider flatting in the AQT3ds spot, but I do think if we can get HU in a 3B pot IP vs the CO, then we can net more EV and again of course if we are in a weaker population such as this one they often are opening too wide, so it makes sense to widen the 3B range a little to include more combos like this IMO.

Both K875ds and KJT4ds are situational. All three options, fold, call, 3 bet could be argued depending on how you construct your ranges and the opponents you are facing.

AQJTdd I am sticking with my opinion of calling is far superior to shoving. I think worse flushes have a hard time check folding river, given the line, but could easily let go on the turn. Sets could also shove the river to get you off lower flushes.

AQT3ds plays well multiway, especially against weaker ranges. Im fine leveraging position here, keeping spr high. Here I could see myself 3 betting KJT4ds or K875ds to get the hand HU. Also rather call a 4 bet with either of these hands than with the AQT3 hand in case CO wakes up with a monster.

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.

Yes, but I think what I was referring to was his preflop play that usually puts him in a position to not succeed postflop in a low SPR situation vs my range.

Well, it depends on the situation I think as far as the ranking of rundowns is concerned. I think the middling rundowns are ones that we would like to get HU a little more often considering our suits usually aren't dominated as often and on top of that we don't run into better rundowns as often either, so 3-betting to gain better visibility makes sense. I think the big pairs with connectors are hands that would like to not get 4B as they don't play quite as well in those pots postflop as the rundowns, so they generally are flatted more often IP. I don't really find myself 3-betting that often IP with paired combos unless I am double suited and have an ace in my hand.

Not the best regarding the Ace Broadway DS combos vs AA; ~33% with those, but with the double suited rundowns/connected combos you are ~43%. Generally the more visible combos vs AA are going to be the double suited unpaired combos that are further away from his AA if that makes sense. KQJTds for example is pushing slightly less EQ than JT76ds, but still in better shape than AKK7ds.

You're very welcome!

Good question ZNAKE So, generally in live games if they aren't time raked, then you will of course have a pot rake structure (% taken capped to a certain amount) and rooms will often implement the "no flop no drop" policy. All that means is they don't take rake preflop, so you are incentivized to take more pots down preflop if possible, but you also want to play tighter overall. Defend far less often out of the BB and just keep your overall ranges a little tighter preflop. Of course in live PLO taking down the pot preflop isn't really a thing, but you still want to play tighter simply because in high rake environments the more hands you play=more rake taken at the end of the day. You also naturally will want to play tighter focusing on nuttier combos that play well in MW pots.

Higher ranking cards would be preferable, but you can still 3B combos like 8765ds and KJT8ds. I would mix in some calls with 7654ds and even a few of the higher ranking rundowns for board coverage like KQJTds, but in general a lot of the double suited+connected higher ranking combos can 3B in those shorter stack situations.
