Thanks for another great video!
I made a comment in your previous video about the potiential use of RTA (https://www.runitonce.com/poker-training/videos/nuno-alvarez-stefan-vs-linus-exploitative-play/) which I am quite curious to hear your opinion on :)
Another good video as always! At 9.45 you XR the flop with 75 on 776r, then on the 4 turn opt for a block sizing. Are you playing a 1 sizing strategy on this turn or will you mix in some large bets too (e.g. 2e sizing)? On higher turns are you still using this small sizing (alone or in a mix) or just going strictly polar?
In spots that you want to be betting for protection quite a bit, you will condense your range for a blockbet sizing. In spots in which you're polarized you will often just bet for a 67% sizing. The reason why you never choose a massive turn betsize has to do with the fact that you will always be on a nut disadvantage given the preflop ranges.
At 34.00 you were discussing whether or not to bluff-catch based on whether you thought your opponent was bluffing often enough in this line. What are the things you consider in order to make this decision? Are you looking at HUD stats, thinking about population data, thinking about number of potential bluff combos, or a combination of all of the above?
Definitely a combination of all of those. Intuition also plays a huge part in some common spots since it comes from our experience.
Something that I like to do as well is to start by thinking about what are they representing. That helps our brain to look for certain heuristics that are necessary to solve the puzzle.

Yeh, I guess this makes for the most logical starting point!
When it comes to HUD stats, is WWSF the most relevant stat here? Are there any others you consider important for general bluff-catching spots?
I think is a custom one that I got sometime ago from a friend of mine. No idea about optimal % to be honest but if you're calling against them as supposed to and the number is pretty low you can assume that they're overbluffing quite a lot in general.

Good question.

WWSF definitely gives us a good idea of how their approach to the game looks (if sample is large enough)
WSWBR is another stat that can be useful in such scenarios.
I'm not familiar with WSWBR, is that a default stat or a custom made one? Do you know roughly what the optimal percentage is for this stat?
I think is a custom one that I got sometime ago from a friend of mine. No idea about optimal % to be honest but if you're calling against them as supposed to and the number is pretty low you can assume that they're overbluffing quite a lot in general.
