Happy you are back! Most under rated coach on RIO imo.
3:45 T#3 very solid fundamentals and clear explanation. K9c on 832cc board getting better hands like KQ-KT to fold cleaning up your outs and then 1/3 turn bet on flush closing turn.
Are you using auto fold program? 4:52 I noticed A6o is snap folded on the button. I'm sure these leads to some insane volume.
14:45 T#1 These spots with KJ are so gross when btn double flats and floats your flop bet then makes a large turn bet when checked to. You mentioned the turn is an "easy call" but the SPR is so low going to the river and do we really beat value on the turn against this size?
Thanks for the nice compliment!
Yes u can set up autofolds in Rush.
With the KJ: I imagine i bet small otf. If i had bet large on the flop and then face this betsizing i would be inclined to fold vs most opponents. In this case we kept his range wide.
17:40 I like this check back on the river as well as what hands XR-B-XC that we beat? you mentioned AQd doesn't call a river bet. No point in free rolling yourself just because your absolute value being trips is a strong hand. So hard to get called by worse here.
18:00 T#3 How do you decide to bet this turn or check? I feel like I'm betting a lot of JX+ here for value and then a bunch of bluffs AQ AT QT Q9 T9 etc. I struggle to find bets with TT-44 here. Is there a turn heuristic you use for betting?
In the video you mentioned likely best hand and needs a decent amount of protection. What hands are we checking back to bluff catch the river with? Is this just equity denial to AXs hands that floated?
I would be checking back the stronger pairs like 88-TT. Then some weaker Jx. These hands can all bluffcatch happily.
24:15 T#2 3-way SRP IP MW. How do you decide to cbet or X back in this spot? 1 over + BDFD BDSD seems pretty solid. Are we only betting pairs that need protection and gut shots MW? Maybe lower SDV hands like KTs JTs T9s? What does the 3 way range construction look like for cbetting the flop?
3- way i tend to bet quite polar. I don't do much protection betting unless we face wide ranges. (recs) This hand is fine to bet or check for different reasons.
Reasoning for checking back can be: we want to keep in weaker spades that we can cooler on S S runouts.
Reasoning for betting can be: We have some turns we can barrel when we pick up equity, we can fold out some better A highs by betting flop.
24:45 T#3 on flush closing turn especially MW I typically only use B33. Allows me to bet TPGK with a diamond, 2 pair, sets, flushes, etc and make a lot of villain's hands indifferent. I notice you use b50 often. Is this more theory oriented or exploit? Not sure if I'm leaving too much money on the table with my small size.
Half pot still allows u to bet strong toppairs and better. 3 way this might be different and we can go a bit more polar. As a standard i use half pot HU mostly unless i see an exploit.
28:30 T#2 Another spot I used to slow play a ton! If IP was a rec player I try and keep them in the pot but as we saw on this river there are a lot of bad rivers that can kill the action. Also against the flop XR are you just pure calling IP vs BB to keep the other player in or waiting for a non club turn? What's the thought process on 3 betting the flop vs calling the XR?
Would love to see a video on multiway pots and thought process behind each hand. Fast play, slow play, protection, cbet sizes, range construction, etc.
Generally, i do not 3bet a ton of flops IP. And i think by just calling turn we let the IP just realize a bunch of equity with his draws.
I haven't really studied mw spots. So it would be just based on intuition.
32min Defends BB. XC flop, XC turn, & regretfully XC the river. You said vs EP/MP you can fold as the ranges are tight and less bluffs in range. This makes a lot of sense as there are not a lot of KTo, JTo, & T8s etc hands in range as bluffs. So we can XC XC XF here when we don't beat value and the formation (vs ep/mp) is under bluffed. Easier call vs Co/BTN.
Really enjoyed this video. Tons of fundamentals that a solid grinder should apply.
Hey Mark, Congrats on the office reno, really glad to have you back! Look forward to your video as always.
I noticed in this video -- you are using b33 as BVB stabbing sizing while solvers prefers larger sizing like b75.
(e.g. T73r @07:47, T86ss @06:04)
Is this a specific exploit you are using against the pool? Thank you!
I think human checking ranges are way more inelastic than solvers. So by betting small we put them more often in a tougher spot. An exploit vs a weaker reg could be to bet small with bluffs and larger with stronger hands.
EluSiVeMark
This is also trying to capitalize his inelastic range right? Getting a cheap bluff in vs his autofold region and putting money in vs his continues?
Yes
20:22
You said "although in practice we just lose every single time vs A-hi"
If that's the case, exploitatively why aren't we bluffing this combo thinking villain's range is just too Ax-densed when the checking ev is close to 0?
I probably should have, unless u think he is gonna call lots of Ax.
32:05 table 2 Sick read and thanks for making the call for the purpose of the video.
Actually curious on the turn sizing for this hand - I thought the turn will be overbet or check but solver mostly prefers medium sizing (b75) over overbet after flop goes x-b33-c.
Is this because IP has both range/nuts advantage so that overbetting will be too much?
Thanks Mark!
Normally when the IP player has both the range and nutsadvantage they want to go overbet or check. The better our range the more money we want in the pot.
So this most likely has to do with the fact that IP still wants to bet relatively thin and that he doesnt bet a ton of strong Ax on the flop.
hey mark great video man!
oh look its gary! haha
15:15
nice hand, you talked about maybe block betting this river, which i dont mind but what do we do vs a raise?
Then we usually just fold. We have a decent amount of Qx. If he is capable of bluffing then u have a break-even call or maybe slightly winning.
Mark,
The KJss hand you play at ~15:00, as played to river, what would be the block bet range you would have here on TdJc5s turn 9c river Kh? Interesting spot OOP on a 4 straight board where you both can have a Queen (as well as AQ). Tough balancing block and check ranges in these spots. Interested in your thoughts.
Thanks Mark
In game i thought there were gonna be some leads. But as u mentioned it is hard to balance that in game. So I would only use leads in game if i think that it will improve my EV vs this specific opponent.
I checked in GTOWizard (100bb) that this spot is never a lead in theory. So just checking range makes it a lot easier.
