Good video as always Wei. You are one of my favorite instructors.
So, about the 2 ak's where you 5-bet shove and get called by KK first time, AA the second time. Would you say these were coolers? I have trouble myself with this hand. Myself especially who's style is alot looser preflop compared to yours. You say you noticed throughout your sample that there weren't many 4-bet bluffs in general at 100zoom. So, what do you we do with Ak here against an unkown? Would 3-betting//fold to a 4-bet be an option? what about 3-bet/flatting? Or not 3betting at all?
BTW I never really understood the concept of "flatting a 4bet with ak." Ak plays much better as a shove preflop. Sure you can get value from dominated A's, K's, on "favorable outcome" flops. But generally the hand, (with maths behind my claim that any competent player has heard before regarding shoving ak preflop) plays better jamming preflop. I will flat ak (QQ too) when I am "scared to get it in pre" Then unless I hit some equity, or its a dry board where I'll float once and usually fold turn, I am giving up. I don't have much of a bluffing range either with ak. Is this whole "alternative process to shoving preflop" +ev? Would be cool to hear other's thoughts on this as well.
below 105-110bb , or the opp is agg vs you (hand histories),holding ak vs them and getting preflop is cooler.
if deeper,we should be more carful ,cuz we will never get called by better hands if we shove.
3b and call a 4b with ak ip and oop are the options cuz the opp is always 4b with blockers "a" and "k",and we will get huge value when we hit.
27:17: You cr K62r w Q9s BB vs UG. How do you keep your cr balanced with these positions? The flop favors UG so I'm having a hard time finding good value check-raises to this board without weakening my check-call range too much. Or are you just being exploitative vs opponent / the field?
Wei what i tried to ask was aren't you afraid that your check-call range becomes too weak if you develop a check-raise range to this particular board?
Lets assume that you cr 66, 22, some AK-combos, some KQ-combos and bluffs. Won't this allow your opponent to overbet quite wide when you only cc the flop?
I'm confused because with this board and these positions most people that i've seen cc their whole continuing range here.
Sure i understand that you can split your strong hands to both ranges, but that seems quite hard to keep in balance and leaves you with very tiny check-raise range overall.
hey,first of all,xr frequency should never be too high on the board for like7%,think it's 3%-4% 2% is not bad ,that's why u see most of the time we xc xc and x....And flopping a tp like kj kt ,is never too weak to xr with on the board that good pp 99+ have to call once once get xred.
I could xr with the range I mentioned ,and also I must cc them sometimes to keep my cc range mixed good.So,xr with a range dosen't means 100% to play that wa

yeah,that's why now we are xr some good k's here .otherwise ,the range is not balanced
