Hi sophisticated idea of course and I cant wait to see the next part obv ;). I ahve one suggestion though for your overall game which helped me create a lot EV and im gonna tell you what i mean. If u have say around 4,5 to 2,1 big blinds just minraise instead of moving allin(obv calling ai t any further action) It has great benefits since everybody is playing a gazillion tables and do not notice your stack behind everytime! The greatest benefit comes from the big blind overseeing your stack behind since he is mostly forced to call with any2. I cant tell you how often people will make mistakes against that and there is really no downside if you ask me. In this video you managed not to get called although u did shove with your 2,1x stack.(Thats a skill a havent mastered yet :) )
Hahah. That was nice to get the ol 2.1x shove through. That was a first for me as well! I like your idea, thanks for sharing it with me. I've actually tried it before myself, and had mixed results. I do see the benefit you described, with getting the bb to fold when they're priced in with any two. But this very same thing has worked against me at times, where I'm playing too many tables and end up timing out and folding to further action. I still think it's a net positive for me in this regard though, because I feel like I'll time out less than they will not see my stack correctly and make incorrect folds. The other thing you have to be conscious of is getting flatted by unaware players. They might see a min raise and call with J9ss because it's cheap, whereas if I shove, they'll fold. This isn't as much of a problem when we have 4-5 bb, since them calling with J9ss or whatever can't be that bad for us, but when we have 8-10 bb, us getting flatted here makes for some undesirable situations on the flop. Thanks for watching Gorrel.
yea thats why i would start shoving with 4-5bb(and bigger) since we do have some fold equity and with even more big blinds we avoid those bad postflop spots due to unaware players. I also think limping with 1,1-1,9big blinds is superior.(obv ai to further action on anyboard etc)
