POSTED Jul 31, 2017

Stelios Serefidis explores the concept of 3 betting and uses three different hand examples to illustrate which hands are best for this and which situations make for the best time to 3bet.

28:56 all other slides show a constant trend such as EVC-KQs increases as villain call% increases OR EVC-A5s decreases as villain call% increases...but EVC-78s decreases slightly when villain c% increases from 30% to 50%, but then it increases significantly when villain c% continues to increase from 50% to 70%. Why does the EVC-78s change direction and not follow a decreasing or increasing trend as KQs and A5s do?

Look at the villain's calling ranges
70% fold to 3 bet: TT-QQ AQs+, AK
50%: 77-QQ, AQs, 98-AKs
30%: 55-QQ, most suited broadways, SCs down to 65s

When you go from 70 to 50% you're including a lot of combos that dominate your hand. When you go from 50 to 30% you're not including any dominating combos and even a few (76s) that your hand dominates. There's also a lot of suited broadways in the 30% that are going to be x/f'ing a lot because of your perceived range on a wide variety of boards.
So basically, I'm guessing you have more potential to lose big pots against the 50% range and your cbets will get through a lot more vs the 30% folding range, hence the lack of a steady trend.

What is the meaning of 'R' in EV calculation?

Stelios Serefidis 7 years, 7 months ago

If the game was played only preflop and then check down till the river then our equity
represends our share of the pot, but because the fact that there is postflop action, our share of the pot depends on a lot of other factors so we use R as a multiplier to adjust our equity.

isnt it also important to compare the ev's of 3betting KQ here with flatting instead? nice video :)

i understand that, the video is about comparing 3 hands with eachother and figuring out which is most profitable to 3bet, but IF KQ is even more profitable as a flat and the other hands are not, that means that A5 for example is still the better hand to put in a 3bet bluff range right ?

How to split our ranges between different strategies is a compeletely different subject.
We could go on talking about this forever and is off topic, my idea for this video was simply to compare some hands that could 3bet in this situation.
