I wanted to also understand the reason for some differences in the sizes of 3bet (beyond stack sizes, obviously), in which we 3bet IP 2.7 x and 2.2 x OP, against the same villain.
In any case, very good video. Keep up the good work.
Against aggressive opponents, I believe c/shoving is best on the flop, since it gives them a chance to bluff with their air on the flop, and allows us to get a bet out of them that we would otherwise not have gotten by c-betting.
I believe that you are referring to my 3bets against heiBtercamp, but I'm not sure. When I went 2.7x we were deeper than when I went 2.2x OP, I also commented that I felt like my 3bet size was too small when I went 2.2x. If you were referring to different hands, let me know.
In the k9o spot you started off the hand with 39bb...would you not consider a non-all in 4bet to 10-11bb especially considering he is oop so its far less profitable for him to call?
A small 4bet is not a bad option, the only issue is that it gives him room to 5bet light. At the time I was incredibly confident that he would be light the vast majority of the time, so I decided that shoving was the better play, as it takes away his ability to 5bet light.
Gray, im new here and my doubts may seem weird to you, but im here to learn, so imma post them and hope you can help me
03:30 Why shouldn't we flat anything (only AA and KK in trap)? Foutight leaves 40bbs behind, isn't it a reasonable stack to Monk only push or fold?
09:50 Why is that a good spot to 3bet?
30:10 Why is Ricar not flatting pairs (you say that if he is a good mtt player, he won't flat)? Or are you referring to calling the wemax 3bet?
1:00:47 You say Abziikzn should not flat to set mine because he is not deep enough. However, once they (abziikzn and heibtercamp) hit the flop, heib still has 32bbs behind. Isn't it enough so that abz can play to set mine?
Thank you in advance, you're just great.
Welcome Francisco, I'm happy to answer your questions.
3:30 - I would like to revise my statement a little, it's not that bad for him to be flatting a little wider, but I didn't expect foutight to be light in this spot. I would expect foutight's most likely holding to be AK based on sizing, which makes it a little easier to flat some pairs and suited connectors and go with them on good flops. Normally, with 40bb, I would not advocate just shoving over a 3bet or folding, but stacks become much shallower since monk 3x'ed and foutight made such a big 3bet. Because of this, shoving or folding is reasonable.
9:50 - Mainly for the reason I stated in the video, that I did not expect foutight to be flatting a very strong hand that often. Also, it is tough for either player to flat my 3bet with those stack sizes when they are out of position.
30:10 - I was referring to him flatting the wemax 3bet.
1:00:47 - That is definitely not deep enough to purely setmine, especially not when both the open and 3bet were so big. Based on the flop action, it appears that abziikzn may have been planning on going with his hand on non A/K/Q flops, although the flop he got with 2 broadway cards is not best for him to do this on. Even when he is ahead, AQ and AK still have 40% equity, and when he is behind he will only have 2 outs.
