Hi alex great video
Couple of question.
1) In the minute 6:30 you defend BB against btn Q652ss. This is standard in your game plan? how you construct your defending range?
2) Is good open any round down like 6789r, J1098r in UTG or is too wide? or when the blinds are weak and a passive btn? something like that
Btw i dont know how to play PLO just curious about the game
Thanks man
Hi solid!
1.- im defending roughly 90% vs BUT open when im in BB. I will recommend you watching Durian videos about blind defense.
2.- i think 6789r utg is a bit of a loose open, im ok with jt98r. Obviously our range isnt static and its gonna change depending some variables.
Just come by and play plo , its a fun an addicting game. Gl !
Thanks man really appreciate your help.
Definitely i will watch them.
Another question how much you are defending your bb in a mw pot? the same 90%?

The hand where you had AA99 3way with s/p about 2. I tried to construct a range for the villain: KKxx, JJxx, KJxx, Ah xh xx,QT9x, JhTh9x. This might be too tight, but he is betting a very 3bettingrange-connected board into two people. Propokertools gives you only 31% here.
What do you think?
Remember that he doesn not have every JJ, QT9, etc combo , try to filter the real combos he have according to his unopened pfr.
And you are right his range is tight but i think not so much
At ~28:00 you play AxKdQd9y and check behind a fd and spike ott. You call a bet and then fold to a half pot bet otr when it pairs. I don't understand this as he's repping one hand ott and then a different hand otr unless he has the nfd. This just seems like a spot we have to call. Our perceived range is incredibly weak especially if this opponent thinks you'll fire the nfd way more often than not. He almost never has a boat. As you said, he could just have the lone Ad.
1.- i think playing nf this way is pretty std.
2.- our perceived range isnt incredible weak imo
3.- rewatching video i have this feeling that he is betting on the smaller side to get heroed by smaller Flushes.
Having said all that, i think is closer that what i thought during the video.
Is it possible to get a session played at this stake on bovada? I would like to see how the anonymous aspect of the game would affect your decisions.
I will consider this, thanks for idea !
1:19 I thought it was very interesting to me that both of your opponents snap folded the turn, it seems to be a spot that people would attack your flop checking range.
People multitabling will lose this type of details and lower their wr. Nice you notice it !
18:23 TBL3 don't we skew villain's range to be weaker with our small flop bet followed by checking back turn. he should arrive at river with many weak hands that feel the need to bluff. do you find it often that opponents go bigger for value here and smaller than pot for bluffs?
This is very opponent dependant, some people will do the opposite, bluffing big and VB smallish ...
Alexo, vs Kareempirias you flat in the CO with AKQT with a nut suit in position. What's your reason for not 3betting. Does he open exceptionally tight or do you not like to turn a powerful hand like this into one that has trouble in 4bet pots. I guess you feel there is more value to be made having this hand as a part of a balanced pre flop strategy? Also, if the hand was squeezed behind and Kareem flat would you prefer flatting behind or re-shipping?
our hand is not that good to 3bet an EP open and we are not exploiting a bug edge by doing it so(if any) . Also getting 4bet is pretty bad and our hand plays wonderfull as a "pulling hand". If the pot goes 3 way we gain ton of equity.
I would probably flat vs most, this is cause most recs wont squeeze and ep open + co flat with a really wide range .
Also you seem to fold a lot of pretty strong hands on the button A332ss etc, was that due to just trying to limit the action because you were running low on timebank or was that part of a pre flop strategy?
A332ss is not even close to be a strong hand, so this is a std fold preflop.
Im on vacations right now, ill answer question in 4 more days , thanks for patience !
hi alex, suprised to see you fold 8433ds bb vs co but defend Q6s52s bb vs bu. Can you commend on this?
Yes, i will defend roughly 70% bb vs co, and almost 100% bb vs but.
min 33 you folded bb vs bu KJ85s. I guess that was a autopilot mistake. I really like your videos usually, but found this was not one of your best videos. Probably you had too many thoughts in mind given yóur gameplan changed drastically. stil worth a watch and keep the videos coming :)
Yes, that was a mistake so thank you for pointing out.
Thanks for feedback, i will make an effort to bring quality back !
