Thanks for the compliment Paul!

Thank you!

Hey eatyourveggies thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. If this comment gets more likes I can certainly include a plan for a series like that for future videos.

Hi @vegas777. What do you mean exactly? Something just like eatyourveggies suggested?

The purpose of this video was just to show the process, not necessarily to cover any specific strategic content.

Hey @Pape_Sux. Can you give suggestions of these interesting topics?

I think for some nodes of the game tree you will find very good content on RIO like as example Cbet strategies in 3bp´s or SRP´s on different board types. However, for some nodes it is very difficult to find any content, not as an essential nor as an elite subscriber. Some of these nodes are:

• check-raise strategies as the big blind vs early position/button. How to construct ranges on different board types, how freq. changes depending from the position of the PFR, turn play, etc

• turn cbetting strategies after range betting OTF with wide ranges (BTN vs BB as example). I think people even at lower stakes nowadays know when to use a range bet. However, they struggle to design their turn cbet strategy accordingly. If you analyze stats of lower stakes players you will often find a huge discrepancy in turn cbet freq. compared to solvers. And the reason for this is that players know how to play their value/semi-bluff part of the range but have no clue how to play the 0EV subpart

• delayed cbetting strategy as PFR. Basically, no content available on RIO respective this topic. A theory video about this topic with following exploits/adjustments would be nice

• small blind vs big blind play. Small bling cbet and check raise strategies on different board types, big blind stab strategy, general deviations from equilibrium for both parties, etc

• playing as the PFC in 3bp´s. I think most of your audience is very passive in this kinda of spots by mostly calling/folding. People have very limited fundamentals when to take an aggressive action. Some ideas here are: raise vs cbet strategy IP, stabbing strategy IP, check-raise strategy OOP, etc

These are just few rough ideas. However, I am pretty sure that the RIO subscriber would benefit more from them than from live plays, random PIO sims, etc. I hope you really bring some diversity to the RIO content considering that you have a very good understanding of the theory and seem to be capable to express your thoughts very well to the audience. I think what RIO needs at least is another coach who´s videos are 99% live plays or they scratch an interesting topic, show few PIO sims and that’s it (even this might be for the coach the easiest solution).

I wish u GL and congrats again!

paging all RIO coaches, Papes post on what he'd like to see has 18 likes and counting... look no further if you are struggling for video ideas

Than you SeiferWR

Thank you mynameismoo

Can't say for sure but probably once very 2 weeks

Saulo Ribeiro Thanks for your answer :)

In your video you had the pseudo-GTO style as an example. As you said, you play an exploitative style.
Could you tell us which simplified sizings you would recommend for playing/studying for the most common spots using an exploitative approach?

Thanks G G . I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

Thank you galgalta

Thank you pokerinlondon! Yes, I agree that its not talked about often enough, so my intention was to provide something practical to fill in that gap. I'm glad you liked it!

Hey @Poncheezied. I disagree with your statements. Its certainly possible to implement a pseudo-gto strategy. it just requires a very high level of theory understanding. Its impossible to play complete GTO strategy with perfect frequencies, but its certainly possible to play a somewhat balanced strategy that has low exploitability (notice the 'low' adjective - it is not the same as zero).

Also heavily disagree with it being pointless for the majority of the viewership. Whatever stakes you play, your priority should be to improve your theory fundamentals. It doesn't really matter if you play 2nl or 500nl. I imagine people watching videos at run it once are not complete beginners most of the time, which means they understand the rules of the game and are actively trying to improve. If thats the case, then learning theory is exactly what they should be doing.

Perhaps your frustration comes from coaches not being able of teaching theory well enough to the audience, and I can understand that. I've had many experiences in my career where I saw very good players not being able to express their knowledge about the game in an accurate way. However, be aware of the fact that coaches not teaching the content well doesn't make the content bad.

Practical and actionable info please, not just pretty theory.

This is also a pretty dangerous statement, as it seems to imply that "theory" is something too fancy or silly for the audience, which is simply not true. Understanding theory is the only way to become truly good at poker. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to try and implement the pseudo gto type of strategy, though.

I definitely won't be teaching impractical stuff in my videos, and thats the message I was trying to send with this first video. Here I'm giving you a step by step practical process to improve your game. And all my videos will be like that. I hope everytime you finish watching my videos you can come to the conclusion that theory is actually practical and actionable. Because it is.

Hey @Iam2good. I think you misinterpreted the video. I never recommended taking any strategic action in any way. I simply gave an example of a heuristic you could come up with by studying the aggregated reports for the spot chosen.

WRT your actual questions, intuitively I would expect people to fold less on future streets after making big investments in the early streets. But thats not much more than my intuition, as I have never studied this line in particular.

Yes, I study regs and recs separately.

By using the nodelocking tool in the solver. You can make reads on villain or population and force them to act differently and the solver will then re-solve to give you the new strategy which maximally exploits these changes.
