Gary Chappell very nice vid, do you mine asking if you have 30% size on turn on srp as pfr oop when flop goes x x? also the same but on bb defend srp oop when villian x flop ip any 30% turns ? seams that i never see that on your strategy's videos. gl
A few times you would raise and get a flop like AKQ or K743 and say this flop is good for my range, but then you would just bet 30% on the Flop then give up with Q9 and A5. If it’s good for your range isn’t it a good spot to start putting on lots of pressure? Or were they just opponent specific give ups? Thanks for the vid, good as always
Yeah it's a good point you make. There are definitely times where I will randomise a more passive play, or exploit check because i know/don't think I'm getting enough folds from specific opponents, and/or think my hand may be good some of the time. But its an area of my game where i'm focusing on to take advantage of such spots where I can be more aggressive.
in the bvb spot against bit2easy where you b/f Qx8d on a 7d9dJx flop seems like a disaster, especially with a gutter to a Q high straight and the 8 of diamonds on a 2 diamond flop where you can potentially bluff diamond runouts or improve to a flush, you also block 4 combos of 8To he might x/r with...seems like a call for sure against his x/r sizing and more of a fold w/o the 8 of diamonds although still probably a call with position, the blockers and straight draw equity.
Yep all fair points. Just a spot where I’m going to be facing massive turn aggression against a player that is far better than me. It’s a board where I have so much value, so if I’m getting check-raised then I’m fine folding marginal stuff like this and continuing stronger holdings, particularly in a spot where my weak 8 diamonds is my bluff blocker when it checks to me on diamond turns.
no need, HUD is fine. Tired of watching video where almost everyone says that today he plays with a new laptop and has no hands on opponents and so every time
@21minute - 1st table, whats your reasons behind calling strong Ace High there vs weak player. To me looks like more kinda folding hand vs overbet sizing, after call 3bet with akward stack sizing(expect bunch of AI). And is it threshold calling hand?
@26min - 1st table with A5fd, Is it explo play on the turn? As you said turn card is good for villain range and maybe we aren't x/shoving much at all. Pretty cool spot to look in PIO
AJo call - enough spewy stuff in this type of opponents' range, plenty of draws etc. See it a lot. And wouldnt expect mid pairs to just overshove.
A5fd - protecting equity mainly in a spot where yes, im going to run into some 2pairs etc, but i gave my reasons in video for the shove. Definitely some fold equity vs hands that i mentioned that will bluff me on river, should i miss. And having some bluffs here i think is important for the times i may want to shove with sets/2pairs/AA etc.
@32min I've ran sim on A9 hand where you donked turn
Seems like PIO doesn't like it much (sizing was 1/4, and I meant overall doesn't like donking that much except 9) and EQ on that card isn't that high - close to cards 2-5, and worse than 6,7,9,A(all 4 equally good).
betting is obviously fine and probably best, i just like to have some flush draws in check-back range. RNG made me check this time. But other combos are better checks and this a bet.
Chaps, new to the pro videos here on RIO. Really enjoyed listening to your thoughts as your played - great vid. Good luck at the tables and look forward to watching your upcoming play!
Hi Gary, you mention in a 4 handed dynamic you are expanding your preflop range, ie. RFI in the cutoff with A5o. Why are you treating this different than an RFI from the CO on a 6 handed table (with UTG and MP folding in front of you)? Is this due to ideas about folded card removal or some kind of exploitative adjustment?
Hey, Gary Chappell - @9:10 you call the UTG raise with 66 but then fold to the SB squeeze. What am I misunderstanding about this fold? If 66 calls a SB 3bet when opening from the button, why does it fold vs the squeeze? Being in position and closing the action is there any merit to calling the squeeze here (especially as the squeeze size wasn't super large)? Thanks for the help, Gary.
9:15 fold 66 ip? What pocket pairs are we starting to call? Or was this just player exploitation fold? 42:55 SB v button you said on monotone flops you have close to a pure check strat... is that when in blinds just to button or to anyone who has position on us? Ty!
66 v a squeeze when ive just called is a standard fold i think as my range is capped so will get punished postflop, and a squeeze size is bigger than a normal 3B size, therefore cant call as much. I'd start calling 99 probably, but a lot depends on stack size/opponent/squeeze size etc.
monotone flops - yeh v most in position. helps simplify and calling ranges consist of a lot of suited combos. it'll depend somewhat on the actual cards on the flop (eg a 2 doesnt block any flushes, whereas a K/A blocks a lot.
Boom, appreciate the response! Love how in depth and broad your analysis are, I feel that many coaches ( whether to not give out so much on their own play or because they aren’t as sharp ) teach pretty minimally. Yours and sauces videos are the nuts for me ����

yeah i definitely do. surprised it has never come up in my videos.

Great video, thus that hud on the table really polutes the video.
noted, maybe i'll play without HUD in future

yeah this doesn't surprise me, thanks for running the sim. i do think it will fair ok in game though.
Hi Gary nice video!
min @50.21 why don’t you bet flop and turn IP with nut Fd and gutshot? I tought it would be a pure bet. Thanks for your answer.
betting is obviously fine and probably best, i just like to have some flush draws in check-back range. RNG made me check this time. But other combos are better checks and this a bet.

Being in position and closing the action is there any merit to calling the squeeze here (especially as the squeeze size wasn't super large)? Thanks for the help, Gary.
number of reasons, mainly:
- super capped range given i didnt 3B a fish short stack, therefore going to get owned postflop
but also:
- size of squeeze bigger than a normal SB v BB 3B size
- SB range strong given fish stack size, i.e. very 4B shove-able
but mainly cos of how capped my range is. BTN v SB i would mix calls w/ AK/JJ/TT/AQs etc, whereas in this spot i have none as they'd 3B pre for sure.
Thanks, Gary Chappell - That makes a lot of sense!
9:15 fold 66 ip? What pocket pairs are we starting to call? Or was this just player exploitation fold? 42:55 SB v button you said on monotone flops you have close to a pure check strat... is that when in blinds just to button or to anyone who has position on us? Ty!
