Hi SoundSpeed, sorry I've been late to respond.

4:40- yes, it would have been a higher EV call if the board weren't paired and if we had multiple door draws.

12:20 I just checked, 3b with the rundown is solver approved; while QT86 is a 3b when ds, QT85 isn't. This means the EV of 3b our hand is close to zero. Go either way but if you're not 3b QT98ds then that's a clear mistake.

18:55- here, it's close for me between 4b and folding. I 4b to isolate and to ensure are suits are (more) live. There are tons of flops for us to bluff or comfortably shove.

23:47- not necessarily as he should be betting trips and full houses for value as well as hands like flush draws or combo draws as semi bluffs. When the board pairs, I like his sizing choice but not the combos he's betting and calling raises with.

I agree it does seem weak, I notice solver doing this too, I’m assuming the little extra ev boost is coming from fold equity and difficulty playing oop dhruv? I notice it doing in spot with ds Axx-y /Axxx hands ……(xx-y; where 2 of cards connect/gap )

Dddogkillah yes, fold equity is def one of the reasons to cold 4b. Again I would urge you to think in terms of a range of hands.

Let me give you a statement and ask you if you can think of reasons why.
"It's better to do this with QT86ds and not AKKx ds or AQQx ds".

Heh dhru , thanks for all responses, I love a good conversation. I was actually commenting on 3 bet hand. I go back and re watch hand, and look at solver outputs. He has to be go board coverage ? It first I think because bet/fold region …. But it pure 4bet call vs 5 bet
It has too be very close indifferent to folding,
It seems crazy we are attacking the two tightest spots at table, 15-18% rfi and 3-5% three bet.
I’d be interesting into exploit we can make here
A. Villain isn’t 3 bet UTG, @ solver land suggested 5% but more close to 2 %. Which is what I think most players in small stake pool are probably doing.
B. Someone playing more optimal; player probably has study output and playing somewhat lag….. how can we exploit this ? Maybe somewhere in 4 bet mode? Or post flop?
C. Against maniac

Anyway look forward to hearing from you and I hope everything make sense here auto correct kills me sometimes on IOS ….

the 3b is made to ensure people don't get in behind us and we have a hand that flops deceptively. If we get 4b, we will always call.

In the hand where I 4b, solver is 4b some rundowns like our hand. QT87ds is 4b and our QT86ds isn't. I'd say the EV of both decisions is very close.

A. In case UTG did not get 3b, I would squeeze with this hand. Similar reasons as above.

B. In case the 3bettor is very nitty we can ease on the 4b and not 4b much besides AA.

C. If the 3bettor is a maniac(wide) you can 4b as you will be facing a wider range.

Thanks coach!!!

you're welcome mx404

Hello Dddogkillah
I'd change it up in a situation where busting my stack or putting it on the line would be detrimental - maybe in the late stages of a tournament where I think I have a good edge in the later stages. Or if I'm the chip leader and I really don't need to open pot.
What I would do is open tighter and cull the bad suits to get to a smaller number of hands that I'm opening.

2.34- there are varying degrees of mistakes we make. Not 3b AJT9 with the A high suit/J high suit is fine, let's say CO vs BTN. But not 3b AAJTds is a bigger mistake which costs us real EV.

3.48- the bottom of my value range would be a good 2. But even that prefers to block. It's pointless to go big here with our hand and we will have a pretty decently sized blocking range. Can you think of reasons why?

yes, that's spot on. Also, if villain has a freak 52/72 boat he wont raise us. If I have a spade I'm less afraid of running into flushes and I believe he's less inclined to bluff, so a spade is another reason to block.
