Great video, looking forward to your next series !
Thank you!
Very nice series, thank you very much!
I saw you won a SCOOP, congratulations and hopefully that will be another series. ;-)
Thank you, yeah I was fortunate enough to win a title. Doing a VPIP'd hand series with it seems like a decent idea.
35:20 last hand 99vsATs BvB
At cEV preflop sims show that we want to pure flat 55 or 66+ as well as other very strong hands (KQ, strong suited Ax). Most humans follow the line that seems more "natural" and 3b (either jam or non-AI). Have you looked at preflop sims with ICM for these BvB spots with such shallow stacks and have therefore opted to jam?
I have to chime in with the other users, great content, more please :)
Thank you for your kind words. The reason I opted to jam is because I think Igor will have a fairly linear, strong range preflop but won't be able to call as wide as cEV - as you said, preflop cEV sims show us flatting these pairs but also have SB r/c JTs, so we don't really deny much equity by jamming in that scenario. If SB starts r/f these hands though, then jamming becomes a much more attractive option.
At 20:00 do you turn a8o into a bluff on river in opponents shoes? I feel like he could try and fold you off aqs, ajs, ats.
Great series! All of the icm spots were very helpful. Look forward to more hand history reviews.
I think it's a very awkward spot for him because he is very low on his range but at the same time his suits are really bad, blocking bdfd Ax, not having a club etc. But I think probably going for a block otr as Tremendo will work out fine.
Great series, loved all the videos so far.
At 30:20 you show your Xback range in BB vs Igors 16bb limp bvb. I was pretty surprised to see the offsuit broadways in your Xback range aswell as a bunch of other possible jams vs his limp like K2s, 65s type hands. I know it's a pretty vast topic but could you tell a little bit about how you approach this spot and why you decide to checkback these hands?
Thanks and looking forward to the next ones
Thank you for yoru comment. I believe Igor will play fairly tight in this spot, so some of these hands that might be marginal jams in chips I think will be suboptimal jams now. In cEV for example he's supposed to open-fold only 14% of the time so this means he folds a very big portion of his limping range vs jam. When that open fold range increases though, then he folds much less frequently and our jams become worse.
Hey Alex. Just wanted to let you know this has been my favourite series on here from anyone so far. I think the way you explain your thought process in each spot and try to figure out which line is the best is great. Looking forward to your next videos!
Thank you, I appreciate it a lot :)
Nice video. Was a long video series and very interesting one. I'm curios about that A8o hand by Tremendo as well, what he should be doing on the river?
And flop it is mix strategy between multiple sizings with checks?
Thank you. I replied above about river, as for flop, I don't think he needs to check, his range should be strong enough to be able to rangebet for a small sizing.
Hi, Alex Theologis - Thanks for this series, and it's nice to see that many others are also recognizing that you have a lot of valuable knowledge to offer. For the record, I really appreciate your (as you put it) "nitpicking." Perhaps that is just one of the (many) reasons why you have been so well received. Being a former professional knife-maker who made knives in the $100-$500 range, my greatest ability and advantage over my competition was attention to detail. I have little doubt that your attention to detail, or "nitpicking," has served you well (and is now, thankfully, serving us well). =) Thanks, Alex!
Thank you for your comment and for being an active commenter throughout the series :)
Really good video. Thanks bro.
Thank YOU bro

This series was fabulous, got to learn so much from this. Absolutely cannot wait for the next one.
Just to put one more complement for the series! Thank you!
Now You're my favorite coach to watch videos!
