Hi Mark, interesting video!
27:30 44 co v bn 4bp
My ranges mix fold/call to 3b w/44-66 and prefers mixing small percentage 4b with 77+. Is this play profitable or a bit too aggressive, or when would you consider using this type of play?
It is slightly too aggressive CO vs BTN. I would consider making this play when IP folds 55+% vs 4bets.
It is also fine if IP flats vs 4bets and plays abit passive postflop.
Sick lines love seeing the aggressive approach
Keep it up man your vids make the Elite membership worth it
Couldn't help but chuckle every time you said "we rolled high"
Giving a heart before watching because I've been asking Elite coaches to drop down levels and show off some exploits! Love to see coaches giving community what they want. Thank you VERY MUCH!!!
The only hand I found kinda spewy was 6h5h where you called 4bet btn vs utg then raised vs quarter pot cbet on Q95r. Really love these rolled high videos! Entertaining but also see you apply all aggregate reports you run into practice with different flop turn and river sizings based on texture.
Couple spots where 1) you barreled KdQx on J8894ddd back door flush came in and you over bet river vs a 12/4 player!! I hate tryjng to make nits fold top pair here. 2) towards end of the video you overbet J9o bvB on T7422 board and said you can do it with J10+ & your hand is decent candidate. I thought even though you are low in sdv you also block his draws or folds so a spot I usually give up on given brick run out. Sorry no time stamps but I did find these two bluffs very interesting!!
Thank you for any feedback.
Preparing and making those aggregrated reports videos also helps me improve :)
I don't remember if these bluffs worked out. But isn't it easier to make nits fold toppairs compared to looser players?
I don't try to make him fold anything better but i expect Jx from a nit to fold fairly often vs overbets.
I imagine with J9 either flop or turn was checked to make me say it's a fine candidate to bluff? And also make me say JT+ can overbet for value. So when flop or turn goes check/ check i expect way less 89 combos for IP which makes the 9 blocker less bad.
I think you can make nits fold top pair on non brick run outs, such as an over card hitting. I think nits that wait for top pair + waited so long they just get married to it. The bluffs both worked out with river over bets like 1.5x pot, just something I am not pulling the trigger on very much because I expect to get snapped too often. From a balance perspective I like the KdQx candidate on that board.
29:15 time stamp was the J9 hand. The Flop went XX, turn 80% pot or so. River 150% pot. You mentioned going for a XR on the flop here. On lower stakes given they front load a lot of their aggression with TX and over pairs here on the flop, this bet turn and bet river line looks bluffy when diamonds brick out. The 9d would be a negative blocker on the river as you want to unblock diamonds, but you also want a diamond to increase FE when betting the turn. Not sure if PIO will help me learn anything here being BvB, going to have wide ranges and crazy mixed with different lines and sizings. I do see your point after flop goes XX, going to have less 98 type combos, so holding 9 isn't too bad. I guess any Kd9d combos IP may bet as well, so holding diamond might not be too bad either. Also given such wide ranges I think blockers matter a lot less compared to narrow ranges as you will only end up blocking 5-10% of their range. I think with wide ranges just end up with so much air on one side or the other, it's just a matter of pulling the trigger and going for it. Who has more "heart" if you will. Will have to use more river bets in my game. Let me know if any of my thoughts seem off.
Loved the video :p
Think there's any merit to do something like making the random number generator between 25 and 100 instead of 0 and 100 and just never take the would be 25% (not actually 25% because math doesnt work like that but you get the point) more passive line in pools where agression is good?
Thanks for your time!
Hey thanks Mudkip,
You already answer your own question. Taking more often the aggro line pays of vs pools that have trouble dealing with this aggression.
Great stuff Mark. Any plans of doing additional/updated aggregate report videos of common spots in the future? For example, your past BTN v BB Call aggregate report video, you did not implement over-betting from the BTN on the flop, so maybe just an update to the past common spots? Your aggregate report videos helped me a ton. Thanks for the great content.
Yes i will do similar videos like that in the near future. Not sure if i would do an exact same position again though.
Absolutely loved this video. Refreshing change of pace
