1) 16:40 why do you fold 88 CO vs btn 3bet?
2) 25:30 with QQ on 742ss-Kx-9s you chose to call the river vs B50. Earlier in in the video (13:40) you chose to raise 99 on 654-4-K vs B25. Is this just because you are against a smaller river size an the flush didn't complete? With QQ if the flush didn't complete would you raise vs b50, if the river was 742ss-Kx-9x?
3) 28:35 T#1 with A7 BvB on A7J-T board what are you doing vs a turn XR? I'm a bit timid to bet these hands on the turn because there are 32 combos of KQ/98 in SB's range. Then of course higher 2 pairs, sets, etc. Feels a bit thin already to me on the turn to reopen the action vs a competent opponent.
4) 29:15 T#3 KK on K95cc facing a flop XR 180bb+ deep how come you are not 3 betting the flop?
5) 30:45 T#1 44 HJ vs btn 3bet 2.75x vs these small 3bets against weaker players are you folding hands like AJo KQo T8s 87s A9s being OOP vs a tight 3bet range and less than 100bb? Some times I try and think of this spot by ignoring the 2bb I raised with preflop and ask myself if someone opened 3.5bb would I call this hand? I feel mentally people get too attached to the money they already put in the pot and justify their call with pot odds without considering the reverse implied odds.
6) 32:29 BvB 3BP OOP with K9h on 963r-9ss after flop XX you chose a 1/3 turn probe size. In a lot of SRP IP you are using B50 at least on the flop. Are you using 1/3 OOP as your only probe size in 3BP BvB? I thought this would be another B50 spot.
7) 37:30 T#3 on QJ9ss-5hh-5s when BB plays X-B150-B25 are you finding any bluff raises on this river and if so which hands? Are we bluff catching hands like TT / JT here?
Hey RunItTwice, nice to see you here! Let's go:
1) Very tight player, that's what the dark blue label stands for.
2) I'm raising for value with 99 in that spot, a raise with QQ would be turning my hand into a bluff there.
3) I'd be folding cause they would be underbluffing that situation specially on a 3 broadway board. It's very easy to get scared by a raise there, but what's the % of the time you'll actually get raised there? I assume you that it's much less than what you give credit for. Having said that, I don't mind checking back with my hand as well.
4) This hand is already a small freq 3-bet in theory. Also, when we think about those very draw heavy boards, the thing is: we can't put in a lot of money on the flop if we are not able to get all the money in on the turn, which is the case here. So the strategy on those type of situations needs to be: play a little bit more carefull on the flop and only start putting a lot of money into the pot when the turn comes a safe card.
5) It all depends on how bad the player is. This player for example had over 40 vpip, which is already a little worse than the average fish (which has 35 vpip), so vs this player I can expand my calling range given that I'll be able to make it up for it postflop. Being OOP sucks, but with the hands you said there I'd be folding AJo and KQo because of their poor playability and domination postflop (specially against a fish 3-betting range with consists basically of high cards).
6) Honestly it's not a big deal imo, provided that you can make the right range construction for each size. I don't think this differentiation between b30 on srp and b50 on 3bp is something I do consciously.
7) If the turn bet wasn't an overbet I would, but players can't find enough bluffs by the river when they overbet turn, that happens because they use a much more equity driven bluffs range constrution than solver.
Against recs I think we should fast play quite a lot. Whenever we hold top set and they XR its likely they have a lower set, 2 pair, TP, or draw. There are a lot of cards that can kill the action on the turn. It would be a disaster not to get stacks in set over set because a flush completes the turn. Against a larger XR or 100bb deep I would be more inclined to just call the flop XR because the SPR will be smaller. At 180bb and vs a tiny XR I want to continue to build a pot and front load the aggression because they are more likely to call a flop 3bet with a flush draw then they are to call B125 on the turn when the flush misses. At least in live cash we see a lot of players put in a lot of money on the flop with flush draws but they are unwilling to call the turn bet even for 2/3 pot.
custom Ai link Sets are 3 betting the flop about 36% of the time at 183bb. At 150bb it was around 29%. Once OOP deviates with the small 3x XR size I would also deviate to punish their linear range.
