Glad you're enjoying it! If others like it, I might do a river series like this, so we can get our minds blown trying to execute a two sizing strategy on the river.
+1 as well for river series.
Following up on my comment from previous part, on min 25: How do u shift the defense if OOP were to face a POT size bet ott, particularly on the deep spot?. Basically continueing w flushes and stronger sets and preferably when having a relevant H in hand(so u drop a lot of the 2 pairs here)?. And raise extremely polarized? What do u think the threshold would be there to XC, what about a hand like AQ:Qh!hh, which is worse in absolute terms but may be a better bcatcher than say A3!h. ?
I think A3 is generally a better bluff catcher because you have some opportunities to do other things besides bluff catching on the river i.e. bluffing or value betting paired rivers. With AQh!hh we can't really ever do anything but bluff catch. The concept you describe does exist though and AQ might be better than some of the worst two pair. Vs a pot sized bet, your range construction sounds fine, but keep your exploitive eyes open here as IP doesn't get to bet very often with this size. That makes me think that he's either dumping too much value into the turn bet line and is vulnerable in the check back line or he's betting way too often on the turn and a smallish x/r would ruin his day.
min 31:00, maybe it calls because of the sizing that is facing (b50), but when facing bigger bets might not have enough to continue no more?,Plus you would need to defend less hands?

Big fan of this type of series Cory
