1) 4min AQs 2.2 RFI vs 10bb 3bet. Vs the loose passive 77/10 player, don't we want to get more involved with recs? Do we just continue like 77+ AK here as you said you would fold AQs preflop vs the large 3bet.
2) In live games the standard open is 3-4bb and then the 3bet is going to be around 10-12bb as well. Are we folding because of the multiplier being 5x in your student's hand or because of the # of BBs preflop? If I open 3bb and they 3bet to 9-10bb, are we still folding AQs vs players who under 3bet?
3) 11min 3BP LJ vs BTN on AKT-K-9 when hero has 99, wizard had a video in the past that had B50 as the OOP River size that loses the least amount of EV compared to complex strategies with different sizes. Would you recommend your student simplify to 1 size on the river b50 OOP and B75 IP (wizard recommendations). Wizard video 21min mark
4) 13:10 BTN vs SB 3BP IP PFC. On Ad 2d Tx 9x student uses a 2/3 turn size float bet when checked to after calling 1/3 flop. What size do you recommend using for turn float bets? Do you polarize more on the higher boards and use smaller bets on lower boards? Next hand 16:10 student uses 1/3 on Q32-Tss board. Student seems to just be betting his hand strength rather than basing it on overall strategy or board texture. Can we simplify our turn float bet size to 33-50% size?
5) 26:45 looks like IP turn float bet is favoring a lot of 66% size in the simple solutions, then OOP using a lot of 33% sizes for turn probes if flop goes XX. I'm leaning to simplifying 33% size OOP and 50% size IP.
Looking forward to part 3 of your student review.
1) we want to get more involved when they show passiveness. Whenever they start raising (big) preflop they often have the goods. It is obv different vs a 50/28 player or smth in that nature.
2) Depends how deep u are/ positions/ skillgap etc. If someone is only 3betting QQ+ and AK your AQ does not perform well. But if they add TT+, AQ+ and some bluffs then it becomes +EV if you manage postflop well.
3) I like simplifying strategies vs decent/ good players. I like exploitive sizings vs weaker players.
4) Yes, generally high boards u bet more polar and using a geometrical sizing makes sense. On low boards we want to bet more hands for value/ protection and put OOP in a tough spot with his overcards.
5) Seems okay as a simplified strategy.
