Great video krab, as usual :)
But really hoping to get some HU content, as I have already finished watching most of your videos, twice. I also wanted to ask you if you would suggest watching your older videos when you had a different cbetting strategy, and an overall slightly different strategy in general :) Thanks for your awesome content.
Thank you! It depends exactly how old you mean, but my strategies are changing quite often and I think it's important to understand why they were good (or bad!) in order to find situations where it might be appropriate to use them now. Obviously if you are looking for relevant population reads or stylistic information, then the older videos are less useful.
8:00 J9d top left hand ... yeah I agree U missed a tiny value bet on river. If U used 2/3 flop cbet ... then it’s more of a check back.
13:00 bottom right AJo .. I think u played the hand extremely well ... one curiosity is how you approach AK combos on this turn and river? I would assume it’s either taking show down value by checking or duplicating AA KK region by overbettibg. Yeah how would u prefer playing AK combos? Thx
Good approach imo to duplicate your AA/KK strategy for the most part with AK. It's a powerful blocker hand here and could be used either to overbet turn or to x back turn and raise river.
Nice modest video!
10minute 3rt table: On what reasons your folding K9s SB/BB vs 3bet from Anzar? Looks like we should defend it and few worse hands too
21minute table 4: you a bit disliked if he x/R 2 pairs there(T8,K8), but what else he should x/R with only 88 and FD? and your sizing wasn't big so likely you value betting wide
10min - It's certainly possible I was off here on what makes a profitable defend, I don't have much data to go by in 6max. Checking over just a rough don't-get-exploited approach, K9s seems to be around the 20th percentile (depending on how you organize your hands vs OOP 3bet), so it would be reasonable to play this (and a few worse, as you say) if our f3b is going to be in the 50% ballpark. It wouldn't be until more like 55-60% f3b to push this towards 4b bluff or fold territory.
21min - I was only hesitant to support T8 specifically being part of his xr strategy when I said that, but I suppose it's going to perform similarly when it blocks both sets and the PFR and I are quite unlikely to have any 2pr combos from our positions. I think he's right to do a decent bit of x/r but I think many regs are hesitant when the PFR is behind and checks many strong hands to me.
39min, Table 3, AcKs we XC XC XX on KcTh3c Qd 4c
What if Anzar would bet this river ?
Would this be a good hand to x/raise bluff ?
On the one hand it seems to be great combination since we block AJ,Axcc combo's. Trying to get villain to fold KQ,KT ? But we see villain xback a set so he's probably not betting those then either. So then a x/raise would probably be bluffing with the best hand , although i'm not sure where the bluff from Anzar would come from. What are you thought about this spot when we would face a river bet ?
It's a pretty good combo to use; AcA is probably a bit better if we have it here. That said we need a combination of things to go right - he has to develop a small bet strategy + plan to bet/fold the right amount. I'm not too likely to assume this combination of things against the "spot" at the table, but vs other players it's worth considering.
Yeah, they're pretty interesting spots in the sense that there's just way more aggression than you'd expect with a bunch of relatively weak hands. It's one of the more fun spots for a HUNL player in a 6max game.
Can you please speed up a bit or talk less detailed.. Really think you are a good player and would be glad to see more volume/Hands from you in one video.
disagree. from a personal standpoint I get much more from hearing a coaches detailed analysis of certain spots/theories/strategies as opposed to seeing them cram as many hands as possible in to a 30 minute video. but of course everyone has differering views when it comes to content preference.
I hear these concerns, and still occasionally try to do live videos for this reason. Overall though I am doing more of this pace because I think it plays to my strengths. You can always speed up the playback for these, I hear 1.25x is a popular choice with my videos!

great video again, loved this series!
Really good session review content.

Great video.
Very interesting hand at 41min blind vs blind with A6o. Have you run any sims for these blind v blind situatons?
