Solid video, thanks for something from these stakes. One thing that threw me off was the 50% standard cbet on Tx, by chance that something you have discussed theory of in previous videos or is that just GTO knowledge? Other than that my thoughts were similar to yours so that was encouraging so perhaps Ill see you in the pool (;

Great video. I always find these slower videos much more useful. The last hand was very interesting and I can definitely see I missplay that spot badly, going to have to play with PIO and see how closely it matches BTN vs BB.

Cheers!

Thanks for going over the AA3 SRP; I'd like to see this in future videos. Also, I found your pre-flop strategy adjustments vs the weaker player useful.

13min hand

It seems weird to be that a hand like 6x is bluffing river because you have a tone of other combos to bluff with (QJ J9 etc...). Don’t you think those hands (even if they block a portion of vilain xf range) are not better to bluff shove rather than a hand who has a removal effect ?
I don’t think we ever shove 6x in theory

Edit : thanks for the sim ;)
I don’t think you can bluff all of these hands in 6max (full combo of QJ J9 and even some J5 Tx) cause the number of flushes you have btn vs bb is reduce quite a lot. Interesting to see that it’s not the case at heads up.

KT is only calling because you have KT yourself imo. Otherwise I don’t think it’s a really good bluffcatcher. I agree with you on this spot.

The 53 is very interesting, don’t you think in general people wouldn’t find enough raise on this board especially with the Ax low region ?
Something important here when we look your betting frequency on the turn is that we are in a spot where betting your 87 69 type hands don’t lead to lower your EQR so much (cause your out are mostly clean river against vilain s range when you hit.) By having a « similar » eqr, it doesn’t affect too much the ev or your bet. We can imagine that if it was the opposite, a lot of hands would have more incentives to X.
Are you ok with this statement ?

On the river , don’t forget to add bigger ovb cause it is often taken and there are cool to study.

Nice video, always like your content.

Cheers.

Nice video Nuno!
I found interesting the first Pio'd hand

Cheers

Nuno Alvarez I am curious about coaches talking about rake structure and how you have to play preflop due to the rake structure. Low levels or micro levels are obviously really high rake, but the opponents are generally leaking money every where post flop. Wouldn't this offset the rake considerations? 6 min T#2 you defend 75o and say at this rake structure it's a defend. I would look at this spot as despite the rake structure, you are against a tough opponent acc3l3rati0n, so would look to just fold the weaker hands that become defends at higher stakes. Just look to fold these 0EV hands vs tough opponents. Similar to how regs avoid a lot of regs in six max but go after weaker regs or recreational players with tons of iso raises and 3 bets with a wider range. What are your thoughts on this subject?

9:30 mark mention you expect pool to under bluff this spot and mostly you are going to run into 2 pair+ here. Over the last month thanks to psek and some other coaches one thing I was able to put into my game a little bit are hands like AJ are actually going to be checking back this turn in six max pretty often. Then vs a river bet 2/3 or smaller sizing TPTK+ will look to raise for some thin value. Actually just checked it, some KJ and even QJ are raising this river in six max. I am a little surprised why KJ and QJ are raising the river more than AJ... it is a really cool spot to have in your tool box with B - XX- Raise river with one pair. Get called by some really funky hands because it looks so bluffy on brick rivers. Not sure what my question is here... I guess any idea why TPGK is raising more than TPTK? Of course HU ranges much wider than six max, but I assume same concept applies.

15 min - If your opponents shoes if you have 2 pair or set would you consider just blocking the river and folding to a raise? I think when opponent checks you will be able to find quite a few bluffs, but not sure if you still find those bluffs vs a block sizing, which I assume opponent can mix in a decent amount of flushes into that range as well. At least against weaker opponents I think you gain some value with block betting but also clairvoyance as they will tend to only call and not bluff raise. I even see people get scared with smaller flushes like 7d4d here and don't want to raise, so they just call. Thoughts on blocking the river in Villain's shoes?

36:15 when villain faces an overbet on the river it's folding some of the Ax but finding some calls with K5s K3s type hands, but also only calling with 55 (full house). I thought your combo would be turned into a bluff here to try and make villain fold trip aces. The 53 is blocking a large portion of his calling region. Looks like a good exploit spot if you remove villain from having your combo, he's going to struggle to find calls here.

Good stuff, thanks :)
