First hand eye opening to see that XR is the primary play here. It makes a lot more sense after you talk about As/Ks, and also mind blowing that KQ becomes indifferent. I like your presentation format (Table and cards with colors on white background are really visually appealing) but I think it would really add to being able to visualize what you're saying if you overlaid your solver while talking through hands.
I really like the general theme of exploring flush completing/paired boards. I think these are a lot of the trickiest spots and bravest spots. Obviously one of the sickest feelings to click in close to dead. I like that this video targeted the grey area type hands, I think it'd be interesting to zoom slightly out from exact hands to perhaps other hands in the same class that also shadow the same concepts.
Overall great job and excited to see you continue to make videos!
Greetings from Monaco. Thanks for the feedback.
The way I make the videos is a little different … I familiarize myself with some of the solver outputs making notes in a word document, but I try not to look at solver outputs while recording the video .
In other videos I I was strict about this policy. This vid was technical enough that I felt the need to look a few times.
If you watch a chess broadcast, some grandmasters with access to a computer appear to only be reading the computer recommendations and not offering their own thoughts. And for me It’s not enjoyable or informative to watch… If I wanted to, I could turn on my own engine and read the moves. I want to hear the grandmaster offer insight such as discussing what white’s plan may be or how this bishop vs knight imbalance would work out etc
I feel a similar same way about poker. Anyone could open GTOwizard alongside a hand and read it. I think where a top player provides insight is a bit different. And we still need to turn complicated computer outputs into something that we can apply in game
Once you’re looking at the outputs it’s easy to get stuck and “stop thinking”. And I’m also trying to avoid the rabbit hole of “oh interesting IP pure bets Queen jack of clubs every time here “ and now I’m narrowing in on something less important than the overall concept.
Great format.
Dan Smith thank for. That makes a lot more sense now that you explain.
I love the chess analagy and as Im looking back it is interesting to note many of the points you made here are significantly more salient for me than when I see points visualized in other videos. In particular I really like the idea of how you're showcasing how you translate solver ideas into something that's really in-game practical, there's a real magic to that I think.. You might really be on to something.
Best of luck in Monaco, and once again looking forward to your next videos!
It would be nice to see pot size and stack size change over the course of the hand.
Great video. Love the meta commentary on how this is representative of how you learn, and the chess analogy.
Appreciate the commentary here, Dan. Interesting to see how GTO plays and then use that as a baseline to adjust from with opponents who are far from optimal.
