Hi guys
Thanks for experimenting with the format.
I have a couple of comments on your analysis that I would like to hear your thoughts upon.
Hand 1. I want to question the turn play. I think you are having a way to aggressive betting strategy here as you a debating whether to bet 3/4 pot and overbet. At the same time you dont mention anything about which hands you bet here as a bluff. Obv ranges versus limpers may vary a great deal but you dont have any nut flush draws on the turn that might want to go for a big sizing. In general it will be very difficult for you to find bluffs in this spot. Furthermore this turn is pretty bad for you and extremely good for IP so you should be checking a lot here I think. You dont talk about developing a checking strategy here - only to bet your good hands which obv will be super easy to play against and leave your checking range weak which will be a bad idea against competent opponents.
Hand 4. I want to question a couple of the assumptions being made here. First of you have to sizing here, which is 60-70% pot and 1/3 pot. I think this is a mistake because Im pretty certain that Pio will throw in quite a bit of 110-100% pot bets on this texture. The archetypical value hands will be QQ-JJ and AT-KT without bdfd and as bluffs we will have a variety of draws and backdoors draws.
When discussing whether river is a call or fold you almost seem to forget that here will have a decent amount of Tx and all the sets. So we have plenty of strong hands in this node. Furthermore you also mention JJ as an example of a bad calling hand - the problem here is just that we choose a big sizing with JJ with almost 100% frequency so its not really relevant. Blocking the flopped buttom set is not relevant either as villain will raise this combo a lot on the flop. So what is left is that here block AT which is great but with a hands like KK we are likely to block more Tx depending on the suits and him calling KTo preflop.
But your strategy is perhaps to continue betting your trips and sets on the turn? In that case you will need a lot of weak stuff?
Hey, thanks for the comment
The first hand you're right we probably should have spent more time talking about the SB strategy, if your impression was that we were never checking nut flushes here that was not our intention. I disagree with you with regards to how good this turn is for the BB. We will have every Axdd with a very high frequency, while his Axdd should be reduced otf some, and certainly preflop even with the limper. With regards to weaker flushes, he might have us outnumbered by a couple of combos, but the Kd, Qd and 7d all being blocked are gonna reduce that gap significantly, and he can't make super loose calls vs the 4x preflop. Furthermore, the SB will connect with the K a little better with our AT, AK, KT, K9s flop bluffs as well as KK, KQ some KJ, while the BB will be 3betting some/the majority of these hands. He will have the T9o we are missing. As for the bluffs, you are right they are not super easy to find, however not having enough bluffs would not be a reason to check (our opponent doesn't have much incentive to make loose bets into a range too strong to bluff correctly so we won't be gaining any ev from checking). Nevertheless, we still do have hands like Ad9x, AdJx and we will use some T8s, Axhh, 98s which I think should be enough, our value region for this sizing won't be very voluminous.
Hand #4, with regards to your sizing comment I'm not sure what street you're referring to. We certainly are not forgetting about his Tx region, however as Brandon was saying compared to all his floats it is very easy to overbluff this situation, especially if he raises some of his Tx on the flop vs the small sizing (which he should be). I disagree with you that we will see KTo here with a significant frequency, ATo would be my offsuit threshold for the btn call vs 2.5bb to 10bb bb 3bet, however people do different things so I will agree that it's probably in there sometimes.
My strategy would involve checking Tx at a decent frequency on the turn, this call wasn't necessarily meant to be part of our theoretically correct defend range though.
Cheers.
I think he was saying that we will have T's and sets to call with, and going as low as A5 might be too much?
Really liking this format. Would be cool to team up with other RIO pros for more content like this :)
Excellent format. Hearing the two of you bounce ideas off of each other and the high level of analyses was very valuable.
Really enjoy this format i think it helps to stay interested in the video with you guys going back n forth with ideas.
great video! What sites is he on? WPN and Betonline I imagine might be two of them correct?
I believe this was on bodog, but I am not 100% certain. Bodog is his main site these days, he lives in the US
great video
