Hi Tariq Haji !

Superb video as usual!

Thank you :)

Question about 22:15 the QThh hand; you mentioned it is a pure check.
I feel like I've been playing this spot wrong. For me, I would see this turn and see my removal to his value range and very naturally triple barrel this off.
Is the reason we check because bluffing QThh is overbluffing because you mentioned we have hands like Q9s Q8s J8s that prefer to bluff?
I guess I under-3bet those type hands from the BB so bluffing QTs makes more sense for my range. Not sure just speaking out loud.

Firstly, you are not alone in making a mistake here, as I did RnG this in game to cbT, too!

The main reason is as you've highlighted; we have other hands to use first when BBvsCO. In my range, I also have hands like JdTx QdTx J6s Q5s (not just the Q9s J8s range). Therefore, our range is not heavily weighted around the Ace, meaning the Ax turn is not as good as we may think, and with the wealth of other hands to use first, QTs falls a smidge too low in the bluffing range.

However, take the above with a small pinch of salt, as QTs becomes a fine barrel when BBvsMP and SBvsCO, due to our range not having too many other hands to use first, respectively.

Tariq Haji I was thinking exactly the same thing. I don't 3b a lot of suited Qx from the BB with these positions either, and I checked my sim and in this situation QTs is betting very high freq.

Sure. As BB 3b's polarised, preflop ranges can be quite sensitive around different preflop configs (rake, postflop sizes, etc). If you haven't any other "random" combos as per my comment, then QTs would make for a fine barrel.

Thank you SoundSpeed! Glad you enjoy the format. The pure theory videos will definitely be coming up, too. :)

At 3:40 you mention it is a polar sizing on the flop at the bottom right. I know we shouldn't be doing a lot of protection betting and as such we bet less, but can we ever bet wider for value including qx and weaker ax and include a block size without losing much ev?

We could try to. The main issue I see with this is that we still cannot cbet flop with our range, so the strategy is still just as complicated, and slightly less EV. I would only simplify to small only if we can cbet our range.

14:10 with aq bottom left my inclination is to 4bet 3x when oop and slightly less ip.

We size c4b's smaller, as we are effectively MW vs 2 uncapped ranges, with less invested into the pot

Thank you as always for the feedback. More to come :)

Like in the dark for Clanty! :D

Haha. Thank you :)

No, honestly, this videos are just the best, I'm always picking up something new.
Thanks for that. :)

Nice, and no problem! Glad you are learning and progressing from watching my videos :)

No problem Jakob Tøstesen

PIO is mixing as thin as J7 here! I wouldn't have found this in game.

Yes to both! Pinzo

Hello, awesome video as always at 8:45 why arent we sizing up for protection? since our PP is vulnerable and our range betting gives villain odds to float wide with Axs and all the broadways?

Hey vishant5

We need to think about our range before thinking about our hand. The BB has missed this disconnected board very often, so our plan of attack is to exploit this weakness by forcing in lots of bets. Whilst it is true that TT wants to size up, our range isn't concerned with this enough of the time to warrant a split for a bigger sizing.
