Callum,
On your hand at ~21:00 when you have AJhh vs two opponents, even though the flop is good for you with JK5r, how do you generally approach these multi way spots OOP in terms of checking vs betting frequencies? Seems like hero should be checking more multi way (board dependent of course), but just how much more checking hero should do is always a bit tricky. Curious how you approach these situations when solver is not really available.
It’s not simple to the point that I can just slap a number on it for the freq decrease. Here the board is just so much better for the PFR that I think we can still cb a pretty good amount multi-way. Other boards that are still pretty high freq cbets heads up, but upon which other players connect more on, such as JT9r, I would decrease my cbetting volume much more significantly.
Thanks Callum,
Yeah, I realize that the board texture can make a pretty big difference in multi way spots and there is no way to really accurately know how much more or less to bet. I was mostly looking for how you decide to bet less frequently in these spots and the examples you gave make a lot of sense. Thanks again for the response.
First hand, if our opponent is not very well balanced with his turn chk line, can we just go ahead and barrel turn? I feel we will have enough ax we bet on flop to make this work.
First hand, on the river you mention a 66% bet sizing with some boats and ax, but won't we have some pairs 77-tt we want to bet as well, or is that too thin?
28:25 table 1 what do you make of the opponents jam with tt?

I'm really not a fan of this, villain snap checked very quickly meaning there's a good chance he's playing in flow and not finding any donks at all. They also naturally arrive at the turn with a bunch of strong Ax whereas the TT-KK region will do a lot or XR on the flop, plus the Ax that we stab the flop with are mostly the ones with the weak kickers.

Definitely too think with worse than an A imo

Think it's probably fine given the spr, though wouldn't hate a 2/3 size even though it's awkward with their stack size
Hello Callum,
Solid play as always and thorough analysis throughout. One thing I noticed though was that the tables are slightly blurred in the video. I'm assuming it's an issue with recording CoinPoker tables, because I think I saw the same problem in another video played on Coin Poker.
For this hand, you mentioned that you felt the squeeze size was too small. What would be a good size here in your opinion? Are your squeeze sizes derived from preflop sims?
GTOWizard recommends an 11bb size here (presuming I've got the right sim). Funnily though if you increase stack size to 125bb then it goes to 12bb squeeze size, then back down to 11bb if you go to 150bb stack size which seems very odd. It's because of reasons like this that I sometimes struggle to trust the GTOWizard sims.
That does seem odd indeed, I’m not really sure what to think about those sizing suggestions but they feel a bit small to me and I can’t imagine the ev difference is big whatsoever between 11 and 13 so I think I’ll just stick with bigger as I feel more comfortable with it. Probably means I’m meant to sqz more high card hands and less suited cons and PPs but I think I prefer that.

My database shows I lose money squeezing the SCs and lower PPs, so that's probably a decent adjustment anyway. I think the reasoning behind it is that most squeeze opportunities IP involve a recreational player flatting in a position from MP to CO, and then calling too wide vs the squeeze.
Here you correctly pointed out that As4 raises less often than other A4. Because BTN is cbetting almost with range, they have to call a bunch of AsXo hands e.g. AsJd. A4 has those hands dominated, plus they will often check-down after calling the flop check-raise, so the A4 is able to effectively get value from those hands, hence why it is slightly beneficial to unblock those by not having As with your 4.

Callum,
Great video as always. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks.
Thanks for the lovely words as always!

This is a great format. Thanks!

Hi Matt, I think it may be an OBS issue on my end as this was recorded on a new laptop. If so I can only apologize for the visual quality

I think around 13bb would be best
Yeah I use the wizard pre flop research section for any pre flop work I do :)

This is really nicely thought out! Doing my job for me haha <3
Think you can just range bet this board in both ante and non ante games. It's a bit closer in ante games, but in non-ante games its a clear range bet.
Good to know, something I'm definitely messing up it would appear!
Callum! Catching up with your content, really enjoying it mate. Hope all good out east. Ian
Thanks mate! Going alright thanks, hope all is well with you also!
