Man, the amount of information you are giving in such a small amount of time is priceless. you are by far the best essential coach in this site.
Anyway, 34:51 what would be your play on the turn if you were in oppenents position? would you consider checking? If so don't you think it would be given to many free equity to the oppenent pair+draw that are pretty dominant in his range?
I think opponent should 25% range on the flop given he has all combinations of QQ+ that IP does not have and IP does not have 66-55 here meaning OOP has enough of a range advantage to justify betting high frequency small sizing on flop. He should then likely continue betting to get value from worse one pairs and hands with a club and look to xfold club rivers (4 flush) and jam brick rivers to get value from ppair+club/Qx that bluffcatch vs the AcKx triple.
The reason why I'm not happy with how he played the hand was he had complete disregard for how his range should play and just decided i'm going to bomb flop and close my eyes and jam any turn because I have AA. Especially in a zoom pool this kind of information can be abused heavily in future as I can exploit his checks and sizing tells as he is 'straightforward' playing his hand over his range.
Good stuff. I like the way you break down spots here and explain the thought process.
In min 36 ,how would you play the AA with no club or with a club here on turns and rivers?
Responded to this in the above comment.
Great video. What is your bb/100 in NL200 Zoom? And over how many hands?
No idea. I primarily play 500nl+ and have around a 9-10bb/100 winrate on sites external to stars (smallish 200k hand sample). I also don't like to go on my previous winrate (i was likely marginal earlier this year at 200z) because I fell behind the curve due to lack of study.
What matters is I think I can provide good value using a hybrid of both technical knowledge with some exploitative nuances to benefit everyone who watches these videos.
(Full sample) All hands you have played at NL200 Zoom for the last 2 years or so
And what business are you running? :)
I'm happy to talk more about personal matters offsite where I try and respond to the majority of dms: https://www.instagram.com/henry.lister/
FWIW, before seeing results I thought hero fold would be okay. Just hard to see bluffs here or worst value as you mentioned.
So nice video Henry. I am watching this even that I play much lower stakes. Your explanations are really valuable for me. what do you think about playing aggro hands like Jts or 54s on lower stakes like nl25 where the pool is much more fishy? people are not discplined enough to fold some hands (looking range vs range interaction).
sounds like a great idea to play 54s from the bttn/co and JTs from the LJ+ and to use a 3-4x open sizing
Generally i play tighter the lower the stake due to the rake structure.
Loved the video,
I've solved the hand at 27 mins and it came up a range bet for oop am I missing something?
here's the range I gave IP
Looks like IP has a lot of air (2 overs) on this flop, that is why it's a range bet. Only 3 combos of sets, so OOP can get a lot of value still and quite a bit of fold equity against diamond and spade hands.
Had a question about same hand. Henry Lister Why are we 4 betting here if IP seems to continue almost entire 3 bet range?
I just ran the sim to make sure. You're correct. It's a spot that I would not range check nowadays and the reason why it's not as great for IP as I first concluded is they just don't flop 2p+ often enough here to disincentivse OOP from blasting off it's overpairs. If the board was a tad higher everything changes and you should start to respect IP 2p+ advantage and range check (think 789hh).
Here is the simmed flop strategy on 754hhc and below that is the same ranges used on 789hhs for comparison. As you can see OOP goes from betting alot on the flop to pure check due to there being a significant equity shift on the middling connected texture where IP flops so many strong hands.
I realized I've been binge watching your videos so much that before you said anything I thought to myself 'does his background look different?'. Ha. Thanks for the vids Henry.
Cool video, learned as well and I agree about pool being passive. If you dont put a lot of studies ( by "you" I mean pool) it is pretty difficult to play most spots correctly. It is super easy to make blunders (where your line just make no sense and used in solver for 2% for example) just because you certaintly dont aways have think it trough with little time to act. Yup If I sit for 2 minutes in 1 spot without any pressure I can nail down spot. But it is not the case
Waiting when you put some videos regarding mental game/life outside from poker or anything related as before. A lot of value there
Henry Lister isn’t it only fair for people that are paying money to see your videoes to ask to see your lifetime 200z graph?
For you to write ‘i dont know’ is really just a lie, right? Of course you know.
Maybe your not satisfied with your results and you have improved alot since you played 200z, but still...
Hi Soytza. I don't know what my current 200z results are because I predominantly play 500-1k and higher on other sites to date and up to 20-40 live. I will attach my main 200z results from around 2017 when my bread and butter was 100-200z mass tabling to help curb your curiosity.
I don't promote any results as I thought it was well known I am comfortably beating the calibre of games i post videos on. If I was producing elite videos I would understand the need for proof or cause for concern (although I am winning very comfortably at 500-1k)
Ultimately results should not matter too much either. The best coaches do not yield the best results and vice versa. Watch the video and think if the content seems viable and brings value to your game (if you read the comments it does to many). Graphs can also be faked and I therefore see very little point of posting easily manipulated results.
I do find this question quite frustrating but I hope this help shines some light on the matter if it was not clear enough already.
Great video as always.
Hello Henry,
Thanks for your great content. It pleases me, while most other coaches hammering on GTO concepts, you are very realistic about the pool and use a lot of exploitive plays becausse it works better a lot of the time and, at the same time explain why you differentiate from gto. I think for most games, apart from the really high stakes, thats the way to go.
I have a question about the JTs at 33:50. You 3b (ip) and villan 4bts and you call. You get about 1 to 9 on your call. I have mer a live background and to call these hands I am in the assumption you will at least shoot for 1 to 15 implied, maybe 1 to 12 against a weak opp. I have seen more gto wise coaches call hands like these with such low implied odds. Can you explain why you think this call is profitable? And with which hands would you make the same call in the same situation?
Kind regards, Tom
P.s. Don't put to much effort in comments of haters ;)
Hey Tom. Thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated.
JTs - I would be calling this regardless of the spr just because it should have enough equity vs a standardised 4 bet range from Villain. The time you should tighten your defence range is because you believe villain to be significantly under 4 betting (nodelocked opponent to be nitty), i'm not sure that is the case here however.
Hey Henry, Thank you for your answer.
If we talk about a standardised 4 bet range. Are we talking about AA, KK, AKs, A5s, A4s and half the time something like AKo, QQ, KQo and KTo, or are we talking wider?
