Great format!
what a treat on xmas! great format please more!
08:00 i really like you giving your inadept thoughts on "overall" strategy in this specific stage of the tournament ,
08:41 - don't you think that we can open the K8o assuming UTG1 will shove and we can fight for the bounty?
I know its more loose then we should open UTG but given the stake sizes and the fact we won't get really hurt from losing 2bb in case of someone ISO , i think it might be a good spot.
thoughts?
14:02 - when a hand is a slightly winning hand (in this case 0.04 for 88), is it makes it correct when we are 5 players away from the money (its 5players right?) - its only 0.04 and don't you think we can pick a better spot with 9bb?
17:00 - nice double ^^
23:30 - ACR spot; you explain rec's lines in ACR. +++ great stuff.
the case in GG is worst (tons of rec's reopening accounts), would like to hear some thought on later video's when you play hands vs them.
26:46 (left down)- i see u fold 78s 130bb deep OTB vs 2x open+flat - is that correct pre\lack of concentration\ exploit?
35:00- my thought on KQo combo - how often we should check the bottom of our range if we never win at showdown? we get 1\4 for it to be a good bluff, we block QT and some strong JX, what makes u think its not a bluff? because i see you got a very fast&and clear decision(seems like) and I'm interested in knowing what you were driven by. thanks :) is the Kh overcome everything i just mentioned?
Format thoughts:
Alex this is a great video! I like the high volume action in varies stakes and not to much solver analysis and more of the play&explain.
i think u gave like 80%\85%play - 20%-15%solver which is perfect IMO.
and again, the high volume tournaments is excellent,
Thank you! and merry Christmas!
Thank you!
08:41 : If he had like 2-3bb I could see this being the case, but with 5-6bb he is nowhere close to auto-allin so I don't think we should expand our opening range that much
14:02 : I don't think so no, because we will pretty much have to fold until the money, whereas by wi nning this pot we can actually keep on increasing our stack. Also at the moment it's 30 left with 20 paid, so 10 off the money
26:46 : I think calling is fine versus a minraise but generally we want to be overcalling hands that can make the nuts i.e. pairs or strong suited hands and not these middling ones which flop dominated flushes
35:00 : When we are giving our opponent such good odds on a call we want to be very selective with our bluffs, so even though the Kh might seem minor, in a spot where we want to bluff very little it's something worth keeping an eye out for.
thanks for the response Alex,
I think I'm really lacking in there spots. so u definitely gave me some new information to calculate in these type of situation.
Thanks.
once again, this format is great, really looking forward to see some similar video's.
nice content as always. can i ask you how can i download the randomizer?
I found it on twoplustwo : https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/167/poker-software/gtorandomizer-best-randomizer-app-1738642/
i feel like 6 tables might easier to follow and easier to clearly see the bet sizes on the tables
Noted, thank you!
very nice video! Generally i dislike this review live play, but with this high volume, and some solver i like too much. Lots of hands and clear explanation, thks!!
The KJ x/back hand by opponent in the end, at first I also thought, what a nitty play, but after thinking about it, it might actually be good, esp vs a good human reg.
The questions are, if he bets, which hands will call here and what bluffs does he have. I suppose you are not calling anything worse than 9x, but how many of these that are not a FH get here in this line? I do not know, what you end up doing w KQ, QT, KT, whether u mix all 3 options or play jam or fold only if bet into. So essentially he is praying for you to have 97-89s or A9 and not have a FH. If he bets and you jam he has to call at least some %% of the time as you could be jamming the above mentioned counterfeited 2pairs or stuff like QJ (to fold him off a chop, not sure whether this is a thing here, but vs humans who probably split sizes between str8s and FHs might be quite good).
Also what bluffs does he have here. He would have to have low PPs or low Axs, but humans miss to stab that stuff OTF a lot and then also probably underbarrel turns with it.
So this might be a spot where he is not really getting much value with only the Khi str8, also does not have enough bluffs to support betting this hand and will be f#*!ed if you decide to jam vs bet.
Do you also think in hindsight x/back might be more reasonable than seeing it during play?
I think I get to the river with a bunch of worse hands that are good bluffcatchers, hands like QT/KT/KQ, AA, some 9x etc. I think him blocking FH is kind of significant there.As you said, his bluffs will be low pp, axs etc. I do agree it is a reasonably close spot though.
