Dekkers Thank you for sharing this image. I hope can see a larger sample in the future as 7k hands is really small, not sure if you only filtered for a certain level of play? Would only mean like 42k hand data base or is it 7k hands that you vpip'd? I'm shocked that AKs-A9s are losing and A8s-A3s are winning. Would love to see more data base analysis in each position. I was pretty sure A7s, A6s,and A2s would be losing from EP and other Ax hands would be winning.

Dekkers 9:00 min mark you face the below spot. I was wondering if KdKx becomes a fold blocking some diamond hands and no diamonds become a call? However, I think having KdKx would allow some redraw potential and be better blocking or removing at least one of the outs of your opponent, say he has a hand like Ad5d here. What would be your call off range here?

It's 81.3 to win a total pot of 203.4, so you need 40% equity.

I would assign range of A5d, ATd, AJd, AKd, 65s (2), 55 (3), 66 (3), AdQx (3), 87d, 97d, maybe 54d as well.

14 min mark I think this is a pure call here on the flop. A lot of your range on this texture should be checking back, so I don't see any reason to really raise this flop texture.

He is not 100bb deep so pbb a weaker player. If I play against a weaker player I dont put too much weight about ranges vs ranges and way more my hand vs his range. I do understand a gto call here for sure, but I think raising has the highest EV( because they db almost never with really strong hands)

I think I would've taken the same line with AA on the 14 min mark. Because he's a weaker player (SB call, no full stack, no hands on him) he probably shows up with a lot of hands like this. Maybe an occasional Jx. Don't think you want to be raising here on the turn. River is an easy call with the sizing. He would probably have sized up with a flush on the river.

thanks for the video, took some good points away about spots to tighten up where I was playing too liberally.

I like calling with AA on the 14 min for the reason that we don't want to get it in and aren't pushing too much equity against pair + straight draws.

I noticed early on you 3 bet A3s against a UTG and later folded it in CO vs HJ open. I was wondering if this was due to stats or if you 3 bet with a frequency? I play low stakes and have been trying to make my PF ranges as solid as possible. I mostly have been folding A2-A4 and playing A5s+ which could mean I am not well represented in having any 2's through 4's in my range?

I think the QKd can be folded. I find it unlikely in a 3 way 3 bet pot that button will raise a smaller flush or straight. I think at higher stakes a player could turn JT or similar into a bluff? Again I find this unlikely at 100NL.

Cheers again for the vid!

200bb deep

you mention concern of being dominated. I think alot of the AQo type hands will end up as a call, as well as the majority of AKo. Because you are deep, I think that people will tend to 4b a little less not wanting to play an inflated pot deep OOP against strong ranges. I think you could squeeze here profitably.

At 100bb deep, maybe it's a bit closer, but I still think you force alot of folds from stuff like KQo, AQo, AJo, A9s, etc, so you can definitely get better hands to fold preflop. And, if they continue with a call, you still have equity.. Getting 4b isn't ideal, but I think we can prob gain some EV by squeezing this category of hand. I think I like this hand more than something like A5s, because we have more overs to things like 99/88, block some of the best call down hands like TT. Maybe it's not an every time thing, or maybe it's outright not the best combintion for the reasons you point out in game, but I think against an UTG 6-max range, and with a semi-capped cold call, squeezing might be a good idea. This changes as the ranges get tighter and I can then get behind more folds. Any issue you have with my reasoning here?

17:30 - J9s
I like using a 1/3 on the 45Tdds texture because it is Bttn vs BB and I want to be betting my 4x combos to capitalize on dead money. If you are choosing a larger flop sizing, are you checking back some 4x/A high, or are you just going to be using multiple sizing on the flop(which I think is okay)

31:30 - T9ss
Personally think it's too likely that an unknown can just be stabbing once big with air just trying to win the pot on flop. With the back door I think we just gotta call. I mean unless you are super dialed into the tendencies that folding is obviously better. Like if I was in a live game against certain players, I definitely will be making some explo folds depending on their bet size.. In an online environment, this seems to me that it's very possible for random hands to just stab pot once checked too, and I wouldn't look too too much into the flop sizing(unless they like overbet lol). Dunno, I think I would at least make a flop call and see what happens. I have seen this line alot online and I am shocked at what people have at times. It's also note worthy that he called the button, and this is a position I think a lot of recreational players can have a SUPER wide range with. He could even be potting a worst hand just trying to win the pot now

34:00 - JTcc
I think we can fold to the small 4b being OOP here. I yes, we get good odds, but against a super strong range of JJ+, AK, AQs, AJs, KQs, we have around 29.9% equity. But being OOP, we lose some of that ability to realize equity, so I think it drops closer to 22%. We are risking 10/40(rake), so we need around 25%. We also have pretty bad domination issues additionally. I think I would need alot of information to make this call here preflop

37:25 KQdd - I paused video before seeing your action. I thought to myself that I would probably call turn, and probably fold to a river shove, given his stats. I'm not thrilled about calling turn, but given the odds, and how few bluffs/worst value hands he needs, I think we can just make a turn call. On the river, I would expect him not to ever really be bluffing for so little behind, and would think he can have things like 87s, T9dd, Axdd, 88, 77, for something like 15 value combos. I think it would be hard pressed to find 3 worst hands facing a river shove to make a call. I really don't like the jam at all. Edit: I typed that out before your explanation. It's a good point that the player behind also makes a bluff less likely, and a thin value raise less likely. Folding turn could definitely be made as well. It would be a hard fold to make for sure given time restraints, but I can def see it being a great one!

200bb deep

Yes I think 3b is fine. And I think calling is also +ev, checked my database again and its for sure making money.
