Hi, Juan!
Great video, really liked it!
23:15 543cc board. You said that you encouraged to raise 55,33 hands. What do you think is it reasonable to raise less frequent with TT, let say 70% of sets and only 30% of TTc?
28:15 5sJ3sQs board. 3way not always betting QJ 2x2 on turn you said. We tighten up out range and polarising it because we against stronger range (2 people) and we block possible calling hands and in their ranges there are more AK like hands to bluff now on turn because less likely they cbet them on flop 3 way, right? What frequencies do you think will be right - say, 90% bet headsup and 40% 3way and how to figure out good frequencies?
33:57 KK 4bet. The sizing is 247 vs 90 3bet - what are the argument for this sizing and not lower, like 190? Because i remember that 4bets was smaller some time ago.
35:00 - btn vs bb on 536ss. I agree that button is capped on the flop and bb going to raise cbet more. And you was going to raise K6 35% of the time. What are the benefits in merging bb raising range vs raising polar (most of the sets+ and bluffs)?
Hey, Glad you enjoyed the video.
23,15 I think raising a hand like TTc or JJc with a club 30% its close to accurate. I would even say that those ones are hands even more important to raise than sets. TT type hands find some benefits on raising because protection on a board as dynamic as this one it becomes very important, and they have very good equity on the flop, but are very vulnerable when call. So you dont want to abuse by calling too many hands of this type to the point that your range its tottally lost when an overcard hits the turn or the straight completes. Sets are still going to be ev+ calls on the turn no matter what card comes.
28,15 If you are talking about a perfect equilibrium in this spot, my answer is i dont know. But id guess that this is a hand that you are not force to bet all the time. But its even more important to think about this hand in exploitative terms, because a lot of players wont play this spots not even close to equilibrium. There are players that will cbet quite too much on these 3ways pots, and they are others that will understand that checking almost all your range its accurate. So more than trying to put a exact frecquencie for my hand to find a perfect equilibrium, i think its better to understand what kinds of opponents you are playing. Because on practice this kind of spots are going to be played way far from equilibrium.
33:57 Since im playing a polarize strategy when 4bet, i tried to always 4bet more than 22bbs to denied odds for calling 4bets to marginal hands like any Ax suited. You can start to decrease your sizings and exploit those villains that will have inelastic call4bet ranges.
35 The ev of calling or raising its very close, so it adds some benefits to our checkraising range once in a while add hands like this type. Will add some deception to our range, since now IP can not play any hand better than ~9 high as a decent bluffcatcher or even find some blockers as 5x and start to 3bet my raises.
I enjoyed your discussions of range construction considerations. Looking forward to hearing more.
+1. One of the best 6m vids I've ever seen.
Nice video – I like your videos you have some great insights. I have a couple of pretty basic questions for you:
A. 33:53 – YOU open KK button to 2.25bb, bb 3 bets you to 10bb bb, and you four bet to 24.7 BB. Just curious about your sizing, since it’s a bigger size relative to what others generally make it, and since you are also in position in this hand.
B. 40:00 – You open Ks 9s in the sb to 35 and get 3 bet by the BB to 105. You are about 130 BB deep. Are you sure this is a profitable call pre flop? It seems like it’s going to be dominated by a lot of his value range and I’m wondering if it’s actually a profitable pre flop call.
Hey,
I did coment on my 4bet size up here.
And about K9s hand, your hand has close to 40% equity against a ~15% semipolarize range, so needing just 33% of equity to call, you can see that only realizing 33 / 40 = 0.825 = 82% of your equity will be good. I think you can get that result, but i agree that this hands its start to get close to the bottom of my range against this 3bet size.
35:00 not sure that checkraising a hand like K6 is such a good idea? Pretty much any turn is going to be tough to play when called and so will the river and you will be putting in alot of money oop with a weak hand. And vs a 3bet i guess we just have to fold it. But I guess it makes sense if the player is cbetting way too much, but still hard to play.
Don't think he's saying u should look to cr this combo @ a hi frequency, just that cr is nice overall for oop on this texture.
your best video so far!
6:33, ATs hand, it's interesting that 89s is less playable than ATs in this spot, against two strong ranges. Having nut flush is good, but it gets ugly when A comes on flop in squeezed pot.
32:00 Q2s, You rep 33,44, and maybe 34s. And 99 is almost always a 3b. Your range looks more draws than value. Don't u think it's better to raise various turns ?
That ATs spot. Did people look this up in their database? My mind doesnt want to accept yet that hands like 89s are close hehe. Also how do you filter this in HM2?
great video.
at 41min, you say you gunna develop a larger check back range on the 765r BTN v BB with JJ, which i understand. Why do you bet 15.75 into 45 then? This is small bet and you are betting polar in order to hurt the EV of his check raises so why not bet larger as a polar range wants to?
I've been wondering about this too. I've seen Krab use a similar approach. my guesses are that the equities run closer on boards like this and his defending ranges will have decent eq against most of our value bets. Even a hand as strong as KK is in a tough spot when villain chooses to x/r.
So, instead of trying to get villain to put in more money w/ his pair + draw hands otf, we just try to deny eq to his bricks and delay to the turn to polarize after villain separates some of the stronger parts of his range by x/r otf. also, since the board is dynamic we can allow the board to develop and the distribution of hand strengths to become clearer before trying to force a bunch of money in w/ our value region + bluffs.
I'm just speculating. would love to hear the expert's opinions.
19:38. Do you have a betting range here on the turn on table 1? If so, what are good hands to bluff and why?
Edit: saw the comment somewhere that they wanted more action packed vids from you. Just letting you know that I actually prefer videos in this format. My brain doesnt work so quickly I guess and this way I remember spots much better.
Great work, thanks.
