Been away for a few months and good say i like that new jazzy photo of you. Your videos are the truth obv keep it up
Hey, Kevin Rabichow - Thanks for bringing us another great video! I would definitely enjoy seeing some more 6-max videos from you (while I do also understand and respect the fact that you mainly focus on HU). Do you have any advice on how to navigate enigmatic PIO results, like in the last hand that you PIO'd (PIO as a verb!) with the QJ 2pr being such a great +EV call and the QT 2pr being a disaster of a call? I'm not trying to understand specifically what effects are taking place there, but on my own when I see things like that I end up having no clue whether QT or QJ are slam dunk calls in an actual game, or folds, or whatever else. The natural inclination would be to simply call QJ and fold QT in a real game because that's what PIO said, but this route seems quite unsatisfactory. Any tips you have on this sort of situation is much appreciated. Thanks, Kevin!
Often times (and it sounds like as I reviewed this in real time I felt this way) I'm going to dismiss results like this if I can't think of a logical explanation. There can be massive effects from the way specific combinations are choosing to play, especially in tight range situations like these. Looking back, it seems the effect can be draw towards what JJ is choosing to do in Stefan's position. He will rarely check QQ+/TT at any point in the hand but JJ is far more willing to check and check/raise once given the opportunity. If we don't have a strong reason to believe Stefan is following this particular pattern, I suspect the differences between QJ and QT will disappear.
In spots like this I think it’s basically meaningless to real life play and some arcane relic of how PIO bluffs. Maybe one combo will be much more valuable than the other but it really depends what your opponent will do. If he always/never bluffs certain combos etc.
My quick notes in case they help anyone.
do not work :(
