I have reasons for doing it - there's many different strategies that can be used, so its upto each player to determine how they want to play - eg how wide to open, what size etc. Basic principle is wider you open = smaller size and vice versa
Hi Gary! Great job explaining some of your thought process while 3 tabling live! Very hard to do in real time at such a fast pace.
6:15 with JTo any thoughts on turning your 2 pair into a bluff given you think bigger clubs will continue to bet the turn? I think it would only be pure exploit if you did.
35:30 This is a spot I was discussing in my discord group the other day but board was J54r, so different texture, but I had a similar thought process as you with XR hands that wrap around the J + bdfd + bdsd for a higher equity driven XR range and also where turning 2nd pair will beat some low pairs 66-99 if you did XR QT here. On the guys PIO sim he forced a range bet on the J54r board and PIO seem to prefer more Q6s/Q7s hands over Q9s/QTs. I was wondering your thoughts on this?
JTo - I don't like the check-raise, but opponent doesn't have much Axc so it would work ok as an exploit.
QQ - yeh I expect to be up against KK/AA a lot here, if we were deeper I'd fold.
35:30 - yeh rainbow board is different. I think all the hands you mentioned make for decent XR candidates. However the 6x/7x probably are used to fold out hands like 99/TT and block continuing range from 76/78. Also when we turn straight draws it looks very scary for top pair hands to call a turn barrel on a J543 board where we have so many nutted hands, but on a J549 board its less scary for Jx as we still have all our natural bluffs in range (76/78).
41min after btn cold calls the 3bet, then over calls the 4bet, I'm not sure how you fold on the turn. I understand it's mostly just a chop. I would think the btn would 4bet some AK himself preflop instead of cold calling the 3bet? Then on the flop I think AK would also do some raising as well as JJ right? You mentioned you think btn can have AQ AT QQ TT that can overcall the flop with, all of which you beat or chop with on the turn. Then after the initial raiser tank folds the turn, you also over fold. Are you still just putting btn on quad Jacks? Top two that didn't 4bet preflop or raise the flop? Just not sure how you can fold on this turn after you assigned him the range you did. I think this is the most interesting hand of the video.
It's a snap fold for multiple reasons. I assigned them a range on the flop (based on what they should have preflop), but I've been given new information on the turn by them shoving, so things obviously change. If you think people shove here for 100bbs with QQ/TT or even AT/A5 then that's a clear population misread. It's 3way and UTG can still have all fullhouses in range too which makes them even less likely to shove. If they're bluffing, chances are they use a smaller size too.
Then we can look at my hand - I don't block Jx (eg AJs/QJs) and I block bluffs (eg QQ/KQ). And I'm only splitting with AT/A5.
So to make this call I have to assume that a) opponent has a very wide preflop cold calling range (and includes hands like KTs/T9s), b) opponent is a spewer, c) opponent is capable of bluff shoving 100bbs into 2 players. So many assumptions there, especially given how low-stakes games work. If they've bluffed me then fair enough.

Is there any reason that we raise 2X RFI on every position?
If we do RFI in small size in LP, Isn't it bad that BB will receive good Odds?

11min with QQ after cold 4bet and face a 5bet, I thought this spot was rather close after watching some math Tyler broke down in his last video. I went ahead and checked wizard as well and QQ seems to be losing money in this spot. You can change the range where if they shove AK 100% of the time and never call the 4bet then perhaps it is +EV, but don't think it's a pure call.
