Thanks for the video Javier. How wide of an RFI do you use in the MP? I noticed you opened KTo so are you around 23%? Do you find you're able to effectively defend 3bets OOP with a range that wide?
Obviously no one knows what optimal defending frequency is but the solvers have it around 45% in position in the spots they've worked on. It ought to be significantly lower than that OOP for an average much lower than 33%. Perhaps it's a sample size issue, or you might be overdefending?
Javier is opening 2.25x, so I think that means he can open with a wider range. If villains 3bet to 8x, Javier's minimum defense frequency is around 32%.
@4:00 min, what do you think of villain's cbet with Th9h? Is it good or bad? Usually I'd like to see a cheap showdown with bottom pair, but I suppose with his 1/3 pot sizing he can get some value from floats as well as some protection. He could easily value own himself though.
In that same hand, did you decide to just call with your combo draw OTF because of the great pot odds you were being given? Why does raising become a better option when villain bets larger? Value betting the river seems scary because villain could have KK, JJ, 99, K9, J9, and better flushes.
4:00 I am not sure if it is correct to cbet there with a lot of hands because is a board that impact a lot both ranges but is better for the SB definitely (the most of the people 3bet linear the SB and the CO is going to have all the 22-88 AXs etc) so I like his 1/3 cbet.
As I said he is going to have a lot of KQ or better there that is not folding, and I am blocking all the draws so I do not see to much succed raising all in on the turn and I would not see more succed if villian betted larger. On the river good players are going to trap sometimes but in NL200 flush or better is betting the most of the time, if he had bet the river it would have been a crying call.
In 19:20 AKo, what you represent w bet river? I think y would bet turn w AQ or KK,AA and sets... Think have some midlle vales and fullhouse... But have more bluffs ... I Think hes never fold y bluffcatchers...
I am curious as to why you like just calling as opposed to raising and getting it in with this hand vs the 1/3 pot cbet on this board. Villain can certainly have some bluffs (AQ, AT, T9s, ect...) that we can fold out by raising which is a good thing because they have decent equity against our hand. We also have like 50% equity vs the top of his range (AK,KK,JJ).
Definitely you can raise on the flop, but I think we can make more money letting him bet again on the turn and then jamming. The turn was to bad because now we maybe only have 2 outs against his bet/calling range so I decided to call again.
4 minutes in you check/call the river with AT just because you played it passively. I doubt we see enough bluffs here to make this a +EV call, there are almost no hands with 0 SD value that check that turn and bet the river. I think that was clear fold

I am opening 22% and folding against 3bets 33% the last 8 weeks.
Thanks for the reply. Only folding to 3bets 33% of the time OOP doesn't seem right!
Sorry, the 33% is the fold to 3bet in that position, not only OOP, I do not have that stat.
Thanks - it still seems high though, right?

Thanks for the vid
35.26
you 3bf COvMP KQo vs 4b but you 3bc oop vs a 4bet SB vs BTN earlier in the session. why ?
Second spot seemed better
The ranges are much wider BTNvsSB than MPvsCO, all people should have more bluffs on the BTN and I am ahead those bluffs.

Hello,
Nice video!

I could not find an AKo around 19:20
Sry, AK in 27:20
Yes, you are right, very bad river bluff.
3:37 T8s top left

I was on the top of my range there, I had no info of the player and I only needed to win 30% of the time, I would call again on the same spot.
