I really enjoyed this, a lot of good wisdom bombs in here such as the discussion of how population's bluff range can be distorted, and how you emphasize marking hands. One thing I particularly like is how you mix some things that are in the realm of mental game and thought process. Thought process is my weakness, and even with studying lots of solver outputs, I have a hard time putting this into practice under pressure, when I am playing. So, in the future would love to hear more from you on how you improved your in-game thinking process, and what resources you might suggest to get better at making good poker decisions under pressure.
Thanks for the comment! I'm always trying to create better and more concise heuristics. That's the way that we'll be able to implement more our knowledge in game. I'll keep this coming in my videos!
That was a great point that we should overfold the turn vs players who are barrelling a range that is too equity driven (only made hands and strong draws)! I hadn't considered this before but I can imagine it's important against a lot of players. I would guess this type of player is easily identifiable by having a low WWSF as they fail to find enough non natural bluffs in general?
Tbh I think that all of us make this mistake, it's much more natural to bet hands that have some sort of equity than complete air. I'd say that the most aggressive players are making this mistake a lot. Maybe some low WWSF type of players won't eb able to find weaker draws + the unnatural bluffs, so we fold even more.

I feel like almost every player will underbluff with this line massively - xr turn and overbet jam river. The turn and river bluffing ranges are hard to find like you said, especially in play. The river in particular - as most good players know that hearts make bad river bluffs, but will make up a good chunk of the turn xr bluffing range for most players. Also the abundance of TX in BB range, and the necessity for BB to fold some to the river bluff makes it a pretty scary bluff spot that most players will pass up.
I am also guilty of calling down more often in spots like this when losing - I think perhaps because I am looking to get unstuck and the more primitive parts of my brain seek to increase variance in a vain attempt to increase the chance of getting back to even.
Great video and interesting discussion on the first hand. I like the mental game aspects you include as well.
9:40 it showed 65 raising at a decent frequency but 76 pure called. Is there a reason for this? No reason sticks out to me other than a slightly better kicker. Small things like this in solver land are funny to me and I wonder about the ev loss if we choose the wrong combo to raise.
About the hand, I guess the reason is unblocking folds vs check/raise. Villain will have more hands with a 7 c-betting to fold vs a x/r on this flor than with a 5

Why the 2 best combos to bluff catch on the river are JTo with a spade a and a club? (calling 100% of the time with those combos and less with a heart and a diamond) Is that because we consider that vilain bluff more with diamond and a heart? (knowing that is bad to bluff with heart on the river)
Thank you
Wow!! very nice analysis and a good format. Question people about solver solutions is intersting and compare with thw way that the people play is amazing

Very nice the way you keep giving us practical heuristics.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad I can help

Yes, I'd say that's the reason
