Hey guys, sorry for the bad audio on my part. wasnt aware of it until now. i will fix that for the next video - hope you can still enjoy it!

Great Video!!! Need good Stud8 and TD content

Great stuff as always, George! And interesting input by Grezi too.
At 34:54 u talk about how you're doing against 3 random clubs - but you accidentally put his starting hand as Qc6cAd. That's why you're doing so great against it...;)

Hey George!
Regarding defending frequencies for razz in the beginning of the video.
Because the equity distributions of 4th/5th street are so polar, It's fairly easy to be defending good 2 card hands vs 100% range when you have a big card.

There's a minimum defense frequency of around 53% here. But the range vs range advantage the 8 has is very high, so i imagine the equilibrium is lower than the MDF.
Defending $L$L | K here vs an 8 gives you roughly 36% of hands that of which the lowest equity is 87K at 40%. You need 23% direct odds, which in razz is a good measurement of equity needed to continue since each street's distribution changes, and the decisions are easy, i.e. you catch a K it's always a fold, or you catch a A-9 not pairing and it's always a call. Having a more polar equity distribution is better than marginal equity as it avoids a bit of the reverse implied odds issues.

The showdown odds are 46%, which in stud poker is important to consider given the multiple streets. at 40% equity it's close when you consider the showdown equity and not being able to realize quite a bit of that equity when you brick on later streets.

So thinking about everything, I think defending a two-card 7 or better here is good, and adding in the 8 is definitely marginal, but may be better than folding. If you had to differentiate with the 8, choosing the more smooth 8x's would be first to be added.

Enjoyed the video, look forward to some more mixed cash game videos!
Thanks
