sick video man. I never usually watch mtt coaches tbh but this video was gold, all were very interesting hands. keep it up!
Thank you!
Great video! Why is 8 such an important card for pio in the Second hand A5325 board? I notice that PIO mostly calls river shove with 88 and mostly folds 99-TT and even JJ. Unblocking bluffs? it also looked like Pio raises 88 sometimes in position vs turn lead but doesn't do it with other pairs.
Thank you and sorry if im just completely missing something super obvious.
It's not that having an 8 is so great for us, it's just 77-KK are all pure bluffcatchers, and of all the pocket pairs 88 specifically blocks the least number of bluffs.
77 blocks hands like 76 and 74, while 99-KK block hands like QJ, K9 that will sometimes take this line as a bluff if they have a spade.
PIO raises 88 IP vs the small turn lead for the same reason - when BB leads small it's going to be a 5 for protection a lot, so raising 88 is kind of getting value and at the same time just getting a fold is nice and we are again unblocking the most bluffs with this particular pair. It is also the pair that requires the most protection against BB's bluffs.
Also A8 is a high frequency call on the river and AQ is pure fold. Not sure why and would mess up in game.
As for A8 vs AQ - same thing: BB has not hands in between those so they have the same value, but AQ blocks more bluffs than A8 does.
awesome video, great ideas, thx a lot!
Best theory vid I've seen in months. Thanks Daniel!
Hi Daniel. Great video exploring exploits.
I have a concern about implementing these kinds of exploits on future streets. We can see in the JJ hand at the end of the video that PIO prefers raising this K high board with a majority of its range OTF once we node-lock the option to for OOP to 3-bet. I feel this can get very difficult to actually continuing this exploit on the turn and river. Once we raise this flop and get called, there will be many runouts where I feel I won't have a strong grasp of our opponents range, or even how are range should look on future streets. (what cards to barrel, bluff OTR after it goes check-check OTT,etc). Since it is such an unfamiliar line for us to conceive our range-on-range interaction, I don't think this necessarily means we have found a good exploit OTF without being able to play a sound turn and river play with an appropriate range. What do you think?
Again, a great video! I have learned so much from these recent exploit videos! Thanks Daniel!
Awesome PIO work ! Nhs
Great video as always.
Could you in hands where turn strategies vary severly in future please use the hotness tool to show the strategy for all possible turns?
Also am a bit surprised by your read (although you have corrected yourself from "average mid-/lowstakes player" to "average weak mid-/lowstakes reg") that people would overfold here. I also see a group of players trying to overdefend, because they realize, that the 2 is such a good card for us and think we donk too much, not realizing how much we are allowed to donk (was tbh a bit surprised myself, but I guess it is the best turn for us).
very insightful video! i like your comments on weaker players / low-stakes regs thinking as well as the fragility of equilibrium when dealing with narrow ranges
on the last hand, I presume this would impact OOP turn leading strategy after we raise the flop IP with JJ? if OOP is not 3-betting flop enough, he must then now lead turn after calling our raise, do you need to lock that as well to get more accurate result?
