Really like the exercises like this one about bluffing. When you started doing it i couldn't see why you go to do it manually and not in pio or so, but when you explained the effects it had ingame, i could get why it can be valuable
Yes. You definitely have to be careful you don't adopt a completely passive learning style. The more 'nitty-gritty' your off the table work, the more you play around with numbers and ranges the more attuned you'll be in-game.
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!
My pleasure.
great video Sam, always insightful stuff
12:30 another disadvantage of flatting here is our flush is only 8 high and we might run into better flush. By raising, we eliminate many better suited hands K2cc, Q3cc that we'd loose a lot of chips to, should the flush comes in. You did iso 65cc a few hands later for those reasons so not isolating 87cc because we've been isolating a lot don't seem to be a valuable reason, unless villain has shown proportion to fight back or opponents behind have taken advantage of it, which hasn't been the case so far. what do you think?
I see where your at with your thinking. Perhaps I should be a little bit more 'ruthless' in my thinking. Increasing the size of the pot with a playable hand, in position, against a weak opponent is exactly the kind of spot we're looking for. Was perhaps a little bit affected by my analysis in the video because the hand worked outside so well for us!!! Thanks for suggesting a better strategy.
Thank you for this video It is very helpfull!
Sam, about final hand KTs vs Vovtroy.
On turn we have approximately 39%-43% against his value, and semi-bluffing range.
Do you think we can fold this in more soft field tourneys (live for example, low-mid stakes online MTTs), because we would have 31bbs after fold and could manage to get more payjumps without high variance? Possibly ship all our ships in more +EV spot?
Or it is always a call even in soft mtts?
Hey there.
Very legit question. So firstly I would question whether 'soft' tourneys really exist anymore, in the way that they used to. People hunt out the value, online certainly, very quickly. This tournament for example is a 'must play' tournament on a Saturday, but we're up against an experienced regular, who plays the biggest buy-ins in the world, so we should be certainly taking spots where the EV edge is clear.
You suggest that we have 39%-43% equity and we only require 35%. That's a significant edge and results-wise we have 75% equity verse his actual hand, which is huge in EV, real dollars and in future expectation as we approach significant bubbles.
My thinking is that we should be serious about game selection and look to be involved in the best value tournaments, both live and online. However, away from the table and in terms of an in-game strategy, I just look for +EV spots when and where I see them and don't worry about some meta-conception of the overall softness of a tournament in anything outside of very, very rare occasions.
Well done Sam !!! Thanks
No probs mate. Glad people have enjoyed the vid.
