Hey Alex, lovely video and congrats on the win! I had a doubt, at 17:21, you RFI'd AQo for a 2.2bb sizing as opposed to your usual min raise. I wanted to know the reasoning behind this and if the ev loss of making it 2bb is that substantial so as to have a change in strategy. Also wanted to know if you're making it 2.2bb with every hand in your range that you RFI or if it's only for certain polar hands. Thank you, cheers! :D
Hey, thank you. Our open sizing depends on how wide/tight we want to be opening. In the AQo spot, it is definitely a case where we want to be opening very tight so therefore we go for a larger open size. I would do that with all my hands. The EV gain of that is not very substantial, no.
Thank you very much Alex
I just wanted to say I am sorry for the issues with the coloring on HRC and PIO, this was a bug caused by using HDR and the recent Windows11 update. It will be fixed in future videos, hopefully everything is still easy to understand!
Interesting video, especially icm wise which was the whole point I guess. I have a question and that is, when you are the runaway chipleader isnt better to put pressure by raising 2.5x pre instead of jamming?
Thank you. In a bunch of spots shown in the video, HRC results showed that jamming is clearly superior to raising and going for a 2.5x sizing wouldn't change these results much. If we assume that our opponents are calling the jam too wide but aren't attacking the 2.5x open aggressively enough/are overfolding to it then of course things would change.
Congrats on tue win! All of the icm sims were very helpful.
11:40 do you see these min 3bets at such short stack sizes in chip ev spots as well?
33:22 do you like opponents check back with j8 on the river?
Thanks!
Thank you!
11:40 yes, in these situations they do show up when a shortstack opens but the bigger stacks can't jam because the effective stacksizes with the players behind are big, small 3bets do happen.
33:22 our opponents will get to the river with so many unpaired hands that he can't possibly bluff all of them. Prioritizing the lower hands like 64, 63, 68 etc makes more sense to me.
like before watch, and double like after :D
alex, aka the storyteller, about future game , you talk about it few times and well explained...do you use that model in HRc ? what kind of spots do you think can be appropriate for that ? Alex Theologis
Happy to hear you liked it :)
I don't use it much no, I find that model is more applicable for shorthanded spots with at least 1 very shortstack that is likely to bust soon.
Is it only me or is there a problem with the color settings of this video?
The colours are way too bright and sometimes when there is a HRC sim we don't see the different actions.
No it is definitely not only you, please refer to my post above regarding the bug. It has been identified and fixed for future videos but for now please let me know which sim you are having trouble understanding and I will gladly share screenshots.
Great video Alex!
I really like the HRC sims and you talking about the results
Would like to see more of this format
Hi Alex at 33:09, I was surprised that we are limping QJo. With this stack distribution, I thought the SB would be jamming aggressively with offsuit BW, low pairs, low Ax and suited hands since there is huge ICM pressure with the short stack being 10bb. Would like to have seen the sim for this one.
Hey, thank you for your comment. It's not that jamming isn't profitable, it is, but these kind of hands benefit from keeping in all the hands we dominate - I would be jamming q9o, q5o etc for example. In theory we are supposed to have pretty much no limps and just rfi or jam but I believe it is common to see less folding and more jamming vs the chipleader open in this spot (bb supposed to fold k2s, K9o, a bunch of ax and only jam 8%) so I elected to limp. I agree it would have been an interesting sim to showcase though.
Nice video Alex, as always!
Could you put the HR solutions in different colors to better visualize the answers in the program for us?
If you look up, there is a comment from him explaining there is a bug with the colours in his recent videos and it will be fixed in the future. ;)
That is correct, thank you Cassoulet. Yeah there was a bug with Windows11 that screw up the colours in the recording, they didn't look like that to me on my screen. Won't happen again!
Nice video
Great video and great format. One of the better MTTs videos I've watched on RunItOnce.
When running the HRC sims, what CI target are you running to? I saw when you Node Locked and ran the Selected Subtree to CI 3. What about for the full tree?
Thanks!
Hey, thank you for your nice words :)
I would say the CI depends a lot on the kind of spot you want to run. For example, in a BvB spot you can quickly run it to CI1 but for more complex spots involving a lot players running it that low would take ages so you would have to run the first action a bit, then the second etc. I usually don't run the entire tree before running my specific spot because the card removal effect would be pretty minor and not worth the time.
