Richard Gryko aka Raconteur kicks off a new series with action at the $500 zoom tables. The first hand inspires a deep look at the nuance of 3B and 4B ranges and the theory behind these tough decisions.

On 854hh9c7o it also looks like IP does not want to block wheel cards since a lot of OOP's snap XF's are going to have a lot of PR:(A2,A3).

cool, didn't notice this but logic you outline makes sense, one small qualifier is that when we xc turn with our overpair region we basically have to have FD/OE/GS so folding hands with wheel cards might be to an extent the same thing as folding dry overpairs (bc when we have the latter we very often have the former, esp in a SB cold call range).

Really really great stuff! End of video you flat 9753ds BTNvsCO whereas I would 3b or fold but lean fold 90% unless I’m isolating a rec. Once either or both the blinds VPIP I would think that our suits are getting devalued a lot, and I’d expect at least 3ways to the flop at least half the time. So is the BTN positional advantage compensating for what I see to be problems with flatting as you did? Are you flatting for board coverage?

agree blinds overcall quite often which devalues suits, but from memory this hand just calls anyway (at least at some rake structures), when pot does go HU it looks from a quick skim like I could also have been anticipating some flop misplays which generate additional EV. not really flatting for board coverage, to the extent that thats a thing, I do think its an error to mix 3b/f here, btn 3b strat looks much diff in a solver to how it was understood maybe a year/18mths ago ("3b a ton of double suited junk bc even though everyone is doing it its somehow deceptive and if he calls ill crush him bc I'm IP") - not mocking btw, when I say "how it was understood", I could alternatively have said, "how I understood it".
