Thanks for the video Mark.
on 08:30 you mentioned for bluffs we use suited combo more because it blocks less autofolds, I'm a bit confused on what "autofolds" means here.
vs b50 cbet OTF - IP is almost pure folding no-pair-no-backdoor hands (other than some AQs) at equilibrium, so that makes spade kind of bad bluffing blocker OTT since spade blocks a ton of folds. Do you mean if we bluff offsuit hands e.g. AQo then it has more combos (6/12) with one spade and suited hands like AQs only has less (1/4) combos with spades?
Thank you!
Autofolds are mainly the overcards with 1 diamond or 2 spades. So the offsuit AQ, AK with a diamond and the spade suited broadways and Axss. Diamonds go both ways because the flushdraws obv don't fold.
The biggest region we are targeting with regards to autofolds is idd the offsuit broadways (specifically AQo.), some backdoor spades and lower pairs.
So if we bluff we ideally want to block continues, unblock fold and have equity when called.
If we look at AKo specifically (pretty high betting frequency) we see the least amound of betting are with the combos that contain a spade and the Ad.
4min AQd on Q65dd vs 2/3 CB why don't we just jam? I know our hand doesn't need protection, but I feel there are a lot of scare cards for villain if he has a hand like KQc. Given the SPR will be less than 1 on the turn do you ever want to jam to prevent villain from being scared off?
Problem of jamming is that we get it in vs a range of KQ+ which we are doing fine againt but not crushing. We also get rid of all his potential bluffs and there is a (potential weaker) player still involved in the pot which we do not want to scare away.
7:30 it was nice to hear on the turn J727 that 7x only makes up 1% of the range and there is nothing to be scared of. Because I usually go B50 in this spot for SB 3bet as my CB size I am mostly playing checks on board pairing turn cards. I am not playing correctly with so much money in the pot I just need to keep betting rather than playing BXB or B-XR. If 87s/76s was in villain's range pure preflop do you think you end up checking the turn or is it still such a low frequency of the range that we just pile money in?
Also same hand barreling the turn with bluffs for suited broadways AQs AKs KQs (non spade combos) to block JX on this J727 board is nice heuristic. Are you barreling river unimproved with these hands or giving up as AK/AQ still have some SDV vs missed diamonds.
My rule of thumb is generally we worry more about offsuit combos potentially turning trips. It all depends on SPR, position and the actual amount of combos that do hit the board pairing turn. I mean UTG vs BB srp and board is K72 turn 2 we do not worry that much about the 2. But SB vs BB and K72 turn 7 is a big difference.
SPR is a huge factor as well. We don't want to keep bombing away even if villain is 'only hitting' trips 5% of the time with a large SPR. But with a short SPR we are okay getting stacks in with strong toppairs.
AK and some AQ are give-ups. They have some sd value. KQ is the main bluff.
4:10 why are we prefer the small sizing as a turn stab here from a theory perspective? I understand for this hand alone it’s probably due to how shallow the SPR is. So small bet achieve the same thing as big bet.
How about when the stack is deeper? Or when villain cbet smaller OTF? Is there any heuristic you use for the sizing scheme as 3BP defender IP turn stabbing after calling flop? Thank you!
Depends a lot on range vs range. Generally if we have the nutsadvantage we want to bet big, so we can capture as much EV as possible with our nutted hands and our (semi)bluffs.
In this case it mostly has to do with the small SPR that we bet small.
Thank you! This format is pretty good like you said — we get to only focus on only one screen. but it lacks of exploits based on player type or HUD stats. Will be good to see you mix this format and live play as each has its merits :)
