19:57: For your mixed one spade turn barrel bluffs, e.g. Ks6x, do you think it makes sense to simplify to barreling hands without a diamond, like Ks7d, unblocking the IP’s call fold range, e.g. Qd6d. It’s definitely the case that these hands are barreled at a lower frequency than hands not containing a diamond, e.g. Ks7c, but are still not pure frequency give ups, according to the solver.
This is definitely a good simplification!
Regarding the final hand, could you do a video on HUNL spots where IP makes a lot of bluffs with unblokers relative the amount of draws it bets? It's notcibable to me that IP hardbly bets on the turn with QT, JT type hands, presumably because they have a lot of value as high cards. Conversely, he bets almost pure the lowest catagory of hands. I imagine there must arise a lot of polarized turn betting spots where this holds true. Furthermore, it'd be interesting to incorporate heuristics that help one determine at one point IP stops bluffing. At what point does the potential high card merit of your hand mean that you should be no longer bluffing?This also works the other way around: at what point are your unblockers to his folding range bad enough that you shouldn't bluff them?
This is a very broad topic and I find it difficult to give you a good answer.
It all depends on the specific spot that we're playing and especially on our value range. For example, when we cbet flop small, their continue range is very wide therefore we don't want to be pulling bluffs OTT from high card hands since those dominate plenty of worse hands and they still have a lot of showdown value.
I'd recommend you to always start by thinking on your value range first since that will allow you to get a better idea of how deep you need to look for bluffs.
Super interesting format. Can you do more of these?
Glad you liked it! Of course I can, consider it done :)
Some of the hands towards the end of the video (the last two) are not shown on screen (wrong table showing) just FYI, doesn't matter much because we see the hands in sim
Oh thanks for the heads up and sorry about that!
I was wondering what was going on here as they just kept exchanging blinds
39min Might be nice to see a video on SDV bluffs. Really interesting that 2x being turned into a pure bluff here.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to the list :)
great video and series. I think that running some PIO sims either at the end of the video, or the end of the series of video's is vital so that we can see how correct our assumptions were and improve our understanding of the spots overall. Personally i don't play HU, but i still think a lot of the heuristics can be applied to 6m as well (for example bluffing with bottom pairs on Axx, which you often do btn vs bb in 6m).
I think you make the best cash game content on the site. The only reason that your video's aren't more popular is because most people aren't playing HU.
@40:20 it's cool that the EV of calling K6>A2, simply because with the A2 we actually start to block a lot of the bluffing range (the 2x) and with K6 we just purely block value. pretty cool and something that i have also noticed during my studies.
Thank you so much Demondoink! Really appreciate the kind words :)
40:20 - Indeed, such a sweet interaction hehe.
