Enjoyed it. I liked the format with a little bit of everything. Only constructive criticism is that the live play could have been a little longer, and possibly could have the relevant sims saved already instead of running them during the vid. Minor criticisms though in a nice video.
16:00 HJvBB AK5r interestingly pio prefers the larger sizing cbet on the flop with A4cc to cash in on the equity advantage, and barrels bdfds and when hitting 2p pretty often (2p is in the turn ob range) while checking back turn and river when the turn doesn't bring a bdfd.
EVs are relatively close though, so an exploitative small bet that gets overfolds and more calls for multiple streets with the Kx part of villain's range could potentially net more EV through the hand.
I agree where PIO is betting large on equity advantage board, but some times you have to deviate from PIO because people will bluff on later streets where you pick up more value. I think I would bet this hand with BDFD, but would check A4 without bdfd. At least that is how I am currently splitting some of my weaker TP combos. Peter Clarke mentions something like this where he disagrees with PIO and will delay cbet some hands and just pick up a lot of EV against the pool.
17 min mark I wanna put this hand into a delayed cbet range. It doesn't have any sdv but has gut shot + bdfd so I can see why you bet it, but I also don't expect BB to be folding anything on this texture. So we are bloating the pot and opening ourselves up to get check raised at a high frequency here, which we can't stand much heat on. What do you think about delay cbet here? What does PIO prefer? Also if you are to bet this flop, I think it needs to be for a LARGE sizing, where even an overbet cbet can be effective here. Not sure how often BB will continues with 6x 8x or gut shots if you over bet this flop. I think small or medium sizing just gets hero in more trouble than does good.
CO has a sizeable equity advantage on this board. BB has 0% JJ, and less than 100% of 88 and 66, J8s, and little T9s in their range because they are mixing 3b. T9o should be mixed call/fold as well.
Basically this spot boils down to bet often with most of the range, and you can bet large with the part of the range that connects well with this board (and overpairs).
Low cards on the turn (and Jacks!) however are tricky barreling spots, but it can work with this combo. Q9cc still barrels bricks and clubs and sometimes Q K and Aces on the turn but plays passively and gives up otherwise, except for turn x/x river high card (frequency depending on the overall runout texture) and BB check.
ctrlplay Thank you for going above and beyond! Hope you get a lot of hearts for this response. Love to see visual results of the ranges. I might be playing too passive on dynamic textures, worried about XR or future run outs and being blown off my hand, but should just be worried about betting my equity. Drluck pointed out something similar.
On the first chart for Green & yellow are bets based on equity, and orange is the checking range? Green would be larger bet and orange smaller 1/3 sizing? Also thank you for showing the turn and good / bad cards as well! You covered the basis of what I wish all coaches would cover when they review hands. IDK how long this took to do, but answers pretty much all questions with a basic understanding of PIO. I don't have PIO, so thank you very much for this!
You're welcome. I learned a lot doing this deep dive too, so happy to help. Those colors on the first 2 pictures are the EV heatmaps, not the strategy.
29:20 I do not understand your bet size / bluff here. Most of your draws are betting this flop as you did with Q9c on the J86 earlier in the video. Betting 99 here without a spade, just doesn't make much sense to me. You state you want him to fold Jx here and I think XC flop is fine with TT 99 hands. River should also just be a XC? Or I guess XF since if villain did bet flop with a hand like 87 now he has 2 pair, if he had a flush he also got there. Not sure how many AX hands use 2/3 sizing on this river as well. Would be nice to see how PIO is playing it's range on this run out. Really like this video overall btw.
Also How come you don't make any $1/$2 videos? I saw you were on waitlist for a table.
The difference with the Q9c hand is we are now OOP.
This is how PIO plays the flop:
As you see its not a flop we want to cb always with all our draws.
On the river I agree with you, 99 is too high in our range to bluff with. As you see below we do have enough weaker hands to bluff with (all yellow hands 334455,KQo..) You could xc river, but it feels like its a spot where people are not bluffing a lot.
Dekkers Hi! what do you think the BB defense should be against the 3bb steal from SB on nl100 (range 40-45% without limp)
against 2.5 bb I know how to defend, but how much range changes against 3bb I don't know(

Keep it up.
Thanks!

Thanks for using yellow boxes to highlight potential bluffs.

pbb all suiteds hands, and weakest off would be 45o K5o type of hands
