Nuno Alvarez Really looking forward to this series. Could you do a short theory breakdown about the spot you are going to cover at the beginning of the next video? Just some general heuristics if possible.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
That’s a good idea but sadly I already recorded the whole series :(
I think that the heuristics about each spot are well illustrated on each video though, hope that you guys enjoy them:)
Nuno Alvarez No worries…everything is well explained In the video.
Steve Paul did this in his previous videos and I just really liked the format.
I like the idea of the series, and also agree that some theory before diving into the hands would be good.
Not sure if it's possible at this point, but you could consider recording a few minutes for each spot where you look over an aggregate report from PIO for the spot and talk about general trends across different board types. Add this footage before the footage you have already recorded.
Other than that I agree that the heuristics are well explained during the hands, so looking forward to the rest of the series regardless!
Super!!
Great content, love the format! Thanks :)
Great video Nuno, looking forward to more. Do you think it might be a good idea, to also provide some theoritical basis to these videos, before we dive into some practical hand examples?
Also at 59:48, even though all the 9x with an overcards are indifferent( also 8x with an overcard), but there seems to be a clear preference for calling when we have a J, T or a K kicker, and for folding when we have a Q kicker. This seems to be related some some of exploits our opponent can make based on the river card, but i am finding it a little hard to figure it out by myself. Can you maybe shed some light on this? Also how can we apply this in game?
Thank you!
As RoleTide mentioned as well I think this is a good idea but sadly I already finished recording these series. Will keep it in mind for future videos though!
59:48 - I just checked the sim and this seems to be happening because there's a higher density of Qx hands bluffing for IP than Jx, Tx or Kx. In game I'd recommend you to always think about how do you expect IP to be constructing his bluffing range. Some players will lack non-natural bluffs and just have too many natural ones therefore your hands such as T9o J9o will go down on value since they will block most of the bluffing range. Similarly, hands such as Q9o or specially K9o will become much better and you will be able to continue them every time and call a lot of runouts with those.
14.45 - 22 on QJ5hhJ
Interesting to see that 22 without the h is a better calling hand on the turn, unlike in other situations (no board pair) when it's usually preferable to have the heart. Is it always the case on paired boards that we prefer calling pocket pairs without the suit? I assume that the phenomenon of being able to cooler a flush always applies, and outweighs the fact that we remove an out for flush draws?
Hey matlittle!
You are correct. We prefer to have the heart on no board pair situations because we want to avoid the cooler so when we hit our set, opponent cannot hit a flush. Therefore, on board pair spots we don't want to have the heart because we want our opponent to hit their flush (since it will lose now against our full house)
