Hi Brian,
26:00 it is surprising we are folding some Kx. Are we folding some kq and kj because it blocks some of the bluff range?
Thanks!
Yes looks like a combination of blocking bluffs and not beating any value, although blocking his KT and K6s is good. We do still defend KQ/KJ much more than AT for example.
Even some AKo is folding here which is pretty surprising. Solver drawing to a 5 card hand with AQ AJ 99 but folding AK is mind boggling. Makes sense at deeper SPR. With a 1 SPR I'm shocked we are not more KX heavy here.
18:45 you say "size up little bit because BB covers", can you expand bit on why we open bit more when BB covers us specifically?
BB is by far the most likely player to flat our open, and in an ICM spot when we have a greater risk premium than BB, he can overrealize equity against us due to this risk premium asymmetry. This isn't a thing in chipEV but when the chips we lose hurt us more than the chips BB loses hurt him, it puts us at a relatively disadvantage postflop and it becomes beneficial for us to size up and force BB to defend tighter.
44min BvB on the turn QJ7cc-5x board. IP is taking a lot of free cards with straight draws not to get blown off our equity. Then bluffs are coming from low AXs KXs hands being more polar with our bluffs so we realize our equity and have an easy decision vs a XR. Usually I would only use these bluffs if there are not a bunch of draws available, but I need to factor in SPR more often and be more polar with low SPR.
