Lots of good information here. Appears to be 100BB deep, would like to see how deeper stacks affect frequencies and sizes in future videos.
would be an interesting thing to look at, maybe will do a video in the future on how deepstacks affect different spots. Ty for the suggestion :)
Great node to cover!
12:15 shows some low pp with a h likes to xr but 12:20 the same doesn't really happen with those pairs with a club. Is that because we have more Ax in the first sim so we can have a wider xr bluff range?
1:06:00 shows we want to barrel our 4x but we choose to mostly check our 2x. Why is that?
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed ! :)
1.It's a multitude of factors, but you see it's just a bit of extra 33 that goes for an xR, on KJx 22 still check-raises so not a huge deal. In general PPs will probably do slightly better as a call on Kxx, also depends on overall xR freq., but wouldn't go to deep into that. It's good to keep in mind we can raise lowest pps and some freq. OTF and that will do :)
2. Likely blockers - IP is supposed to bet-call 22, J2 but probably 44 and J4 not that much. Also worst SDV I assume
Appreciate your response. Low pocket pairs always seem to make it into the bluff node in.some way and it always confused me a bit. Thank you!
Well usually the factors that come into play are that your showdown value with low pocket pairs will be very low till river, so we often start bluffing these low PPs as we get a bunch of better to fold, such as better underpairs, some middle pairs sometimes, while getting worse to call - draws, along with denying equity from some random overs. Furthermore, they often unblock villain's bluffing range, therefore they make nice bluffs in some spots.
It's one of those famed value bet bluffs :)
YESSSSSSS
