Thanks for the follow up in this series, this is some of the most lucid discussion of continuation betting I've ever seen.
I had spot that is not clicking.
@ ~36:45 -
You discuss A765 vs A766 vs A7TT on AJ7 - you discuss how the pocket pair influences the decision to barrel.
You noted that both A7TT and A766 barrel more frequently than A765 and A7TT does it a lot more.
I am guessing that the powerful blocker effects of TT add to equity and equity realization substantially and favor a bet to get villain's other Aces with some equity to fold. Do I have this right?
And how does AJ66 fit in to this increase in frequency?
Yes you're right about the A7TT, but AJ66 is a bit too strong in terms of the two pair and the 66 is a bit too irrelevant (at least that's how I'm interpreting it). A7 is almost a kind of semibluffing hand so added bluffing components that also reduce it's SDV make it more excited to bluff. If we make AJ better it will probably start betting more because it's clear value. I think AJ66 falls in that awkward middle zone between good AJ and bad A7, both which want to bet. As a result, I'd check AJ66
Around 38:42, I think one of the reasons for lower betting freq with AKK vs for example ATT is that with ATT we unblock villains KK and therefore get more folds. I remember seeing some solutions which were suggesting similar characteristic - on A high board, we want to unblock KK if possible.

Excellent research and presentation! Top shelf content as expected when clicking a Mikesell video. Thanks!
Great format and really nice video.
Could you do a similar type of video for playing AA after 3 betting OOP? Different decisions on different type of flops?
yeah I'm sure that can be done
