I enjoyed how you explain your thought process and how you apply both gto and exploitative plays vs different player types. Thanks!
Thank you !
Haha thanks for that title RIO ! : - )
No need to be modest, we know you submitted that title to them.
haha, got me
Nice video!
I think it's better and more enjoyable 2 zone than 4 regular tables
I have a question, min 23:37 on the left you folded bb vs btn with Q2s very quickly...did you use the rng or is it pure for you? Or was that part of an explo fold if the btn is with a "reg stack"?
Hey, thank you !
It's a threshold hand for me, so at the lower stakes where rake is higher and against a regular I just fold it.
Great video. I try to find a question for every video I watch to force myself to pay attention but you just explained everything so don't really have one.
The format with 2 zones seems better, better to focus and just more interesting hands per minute, think you managed to be very clear with your thoughts even with more time constraints.
(Hope you never call my strategy "interesting")
Hi Krzysztof, very nice vid, good format. You can mix it up with regular tables as well !
In min 26 you 3bet 76s SB vs BTN, commenting you'll 3bet pure here. Most solvers don't recommend to 3bet these connectors even close to pure so is it just an exploit regarding the z500 pool or just you feel comfortable doing this play pure ?
Hey, thank you !
I think the population in these games will be generally too aggressive when they have the betting lead in an SRP situation, and also too passive vs a 3bet. These middling suited connectors suffer a lot when they struggle realize their equity(which will often be the case vs an overly aggro opponent OOP) so I just prefer to pure 3bet them.
Cheers.
Great video, great format, I prefer this over reg tables. Really enjoy when you mention what part of villain's range you're targeting with your bet. For example the 36:20 what better hands you expect him to fold or is it enough showdown value with A8
Hey, thanks!
His turn sizing is very unconvincing to me, I expect the 2p+ region to pretty much always go bigger, so I think his range will be skewed towards weak Kx, some Qx+Draw, Tx+draw, even pp's with a heart type hands, and I think all of those will fold with the exception of Kx
At 31;30 with Q8ss your opponent uses a big size on Q94cc which you like, in your experience do you find players are ever really getting finding enough bluffs with this sizing? I have found most players seem to be decent at understanding how they should size various value hands but rarely show up with anything close to a pure bluff, the worst is a decent equity semi bluff.
At 32:50 you bet call w KK and your opponent has A2s which yo don't like but would you bet fold AK or AQ here? You're calling 353 to win 980.
I think he's jamming because a Sim would not be folding AK/AQ here.
Thanks
Hey,
Q8ss hand: I would say in general today people do not bluff enough in the vast majority of spots, so yeah I think generally overfolding is the correct adjustment. That being said on a board like this there is only so many value bets you can use a big sizing with, and it's a super dynamic board where it's easy to find bluffs, so I wouldn't make any crazy folds here.
KK hand: So the odds you're getting there are 353+78 to win 626+78 I believe, if it was 3-1 I would not fold AK ever. I think you're just always seeing a pair, and maybe AK in tighter positions, when you get jammed on like this, so I fold all my AK and AQ. On sites where I recognize strong players I would call off some AK, never AQ though. Keep in mind just because A2 calls the bet doesn't mean we don't get any more value from AK and AQ, those hands will often jam turn, or check/call turn.
I think folding AK is a significant mistake here. I wouldn't fold AQs either with the backdoors.
It's a 4bet pot BVB so ranges should be wide enough.
1) 20:30 mark with 88 here with a club blocker to bdfd, I would block flop and turn for 1/3 and check back a lot of rivers. Not sure if you want to unblock clubs here or not. At least we unblock diamonds.
2) 200 zone seems to be filled up almost all the time. Wondering if you can make a 200z video? I know 200 is essential, but given 500 zone doesn't run very often and an American site, maybe its ok.
I think two tables of zone or 4 regular tables are both fine choices when making a video. Prefer more six handed action rather than short handed though. Dynamics seems to change quite a bit usually.
88 hand: Yeah I think turn is close, I'm ok with betting. The issue we're gonna face with another small bet here is that I think the population in general is going to play very aggressively against it, because the board is very dynamic so our Kx isn't likely to bet that small, and we don't have a lot of boats here. But overall I think 3rd pot turn works fine.
I'll think about the 200 zone video, but I think elite is supposed to be 500+.
