7:19 (table 4) open raiser should have a reasonably tight range since BB is short and he is priced in for almost half of his stack so I guess 33 isn't pushing much equity against his opening range. You didn't talk much about the spot and I'd like to hear more.
10:14 (table 3) do you consider leading this particular turn ? since your cold calling range should be weak getting 5.5:1 preflop your 5x distribution is much higher than his and you probably don't have fold equity against A high hands when turn goes check through and you lead river with hands like 98o, 87o. If you lead twice on this particular turn I guess you can increase fold equity enough to make him fold KQ/AQ/AK/A9/Ax suited OTR and isn't a very expensive play. Of course his range is uncapped and is of course calling Jx/Tx but 99/88 would be on a tough spot against this strategy.
32:20 (table 3) just warning I can be saying no sense stuff here since 27TD isn't my greatest game. when you open UTG, draw 2 and get 84422 and he leads. this isn't a good spot to turn blockers into a bluff and raise his lead, pat bet vs probably discard one (or two) and pat bet again ? Just him not drawing an deuce or four very often with his BB defense range would have a huge impact on his third street calling frequency. If you 2-2-pat or 2-2-1 he is probably showing down very weak hands as he shown and you are not drawing that good when you are double paired on first draw.
Hey Raphael, thanks for always having great questions :D
7:19: I agree with you that his range should be somewhat tighter, but it still includes so many hands that he has to fold to a jam. He is raising a ton of non paired high card hands correctly and probably making a mistake in raising a bit too much of low suited connectors( I assume this because its a very common leak among regs). Thus we are profiting by jamming over his opens
10:14: Certainly I can see the merits of leading the turn. You are probably right in that he is going to have a lot of hands like his actual holding or even weaker ones with no diamond. So I can extract a street of value or get hands with a good amount of equity to fold, since a lot of the hands he is checking back with wont call river unless they improve to beat me. I like the lead here and feel like I probably don't lead enough from my bb defends in LHE.
32:20 You have the right idea here. I would prefer snowing if he didnt lead into me. When he leads into me he definitely has improved to a pretty good draw or any sort of pat. He is going to go for a check raise a good amount of the time with his more medium strength hands. A lot of times in spots like this vs competent players they are going to lead with their very strong hands and a few weak ones so that they can both not give me a free card and 3b. Probably he is weighted more towards his stronger hands or weak pats when he is doing this. The problem is that he is leading into my utg draw 2 which is always going to be something very smooth and I am quite likely to improve to a draw 1, so again I am thinking he might be a bit stronger here and already have a 2 in his hand.

2:49 how is K9o close? its a fistpump jam, you can go much wider than this and still be unexpoiteable making money with 11 bigblinds from the BTN
Hah well fair enough, close it probably the wrong phrasing considering it is +0.22.
Hey Dylan, thanks for another great video.
