15:45 You are a master of value! How do you play turn if you face a 1/2 pot float bet? 4BP-B25-XC50? I'm lost at the SPR. I mostly just want to fold if I face a decent size bet on the turn.
I don't think I can fold vs B50 on the turn with decent outs/blockers, but it does make things very awkward.
22min You mentioned you would fold naked flush draw on the turn if you didn't pair up. Considering the hero call that villain made is it worth floating naked to just donk shove the river any time you make your hand? I remember sauce123 played 25NL or 50NL in the past and made a river hero call because he said opponent shouldn't have any naked flushes that called the turn, so he ended up stacking off and losing to a small flush. If there is little to no FE on the river should we float more naked on the turn? Does the positional disadvantage go out the window when they don't fold top pair? Also if you had position would you just float all 8+ out draws in this spot?
What's important is that if we do call draws oop then we definitely need to develop donking range otherwise the call becomes worthless, especially vs the generic low stakes nit who will miss thin value / underbluff rivers and XB too often. The problem with calling naked weak flush draws oop is that we are dominated by bigger flush draws, so we want some additional equity from overcards/straight draws etc.
49:40 you are too damn good!!!! I thought this was going to be a pure 4bet and stack off vs the 50bb player and fold to the SB if they 5bet. Happy to see this is 0EV as I made this mistake a few days ago in a live cash game where I cold called a 3bet with AQs and folded on a Ac-6c-4c board. Short stacker had AxKc so just shows solver mixes should probably just be pure folds against players that don't 3bet often enough. Well played sir!
Hey great vids...really like your thought process and explainations...quick question...How do you get the random number generator below your stack?
intuitive tables
Hey Gary!
28:27 table 2 you said QJ is a better call than AQ vs bet-3bet from opponent. Just curious in your opinion, is river block-3bet line underbluffed enough in these nitty pools so we can defend our 2p+ combos only if with no specific reads?
Yeh definitely underbluffed, so as a rule of thumb you can just defend hands that have value domination (eg top 2pr as villain could be overvaluing or going thin with worse 2pr). And then naturally we unblock more bluffs.
However, by doing this you then open yourself up to being exploited. It's a fine line between 'exploit' and 'optimal' poker and some players really mess it up. So I tend to still call hands that I believe solvers will pure call to remain solid and less exploitable. But vs nits who really aren't capable and aren't going to adjust you can maximally exploit - anyone playing 16/12/5 for example clearly isn't going to adjust because they're so far behind the times they don't care and just play their own way.
