Ollie Cass continues his theoretical game tree series this time turning his focus to the value range when checkraising unpaired boards in single-raised pots.

Nice start Ollie! I don't know how you have planned this series, but I would like to see how to play Turns and Rivers after XR. Most of the content focuses on Flop play, but I think many micro/low stakes players would benefit to see how a certain flop spot plays till River. I feel that many players are lost on Turn with SPR around 2.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I think if you watch his first vid there's a course summary in the beginning. He listed out after XR as a node together with after donk and after xc :D

Hi, the initial plan was to cover all the flop components of XR'ing in 5/6 videos (so its fully mastered) before moving onto leading (since this is strongly linked with flop XRs) as well as turns/ rivers after XRs and leads. (We will figure out the order soon of since they are both essential and heavily linked- but there'll both be the next two topics either way just not 100% sure what is the best order to do them in yet).

But dont worry regarding the turn and river play, like i mentioned in the first video the whole point of this course is to master one area at a time which includes full flop breakdowns as well as turn and river plays rather than just jumping around the game tree however this is always going to involve lots of flop focus to start each series before we can move onto turns and rivers otherwise it would be a bit messy going back and forward each lesson.

Hope that clears up the plan of action for you!!

Appreciate all the work you put into this video.

26:00 it is very unintuitive to xr fold top 2 pair. It feels like the value of the hand is being wasted.

Thanks!

Weak two pair and pocket pair are heavily used to bluff raise (mostly bottom 2 pair however some top 2).

I would actually say i would be able to snap fold vs a raise quite happily with this specific hand without thinking twice. Sure against someone who massively overplays hands it gets dicey but in this case i might consider just X'Calling however against 90% of players you have very low equity vs their overall 3b jam range on the flop.

We also have weak playiblity on many runouts while we have very strong blockers which can often take down the pot right away and therefore XR'ing but then folding to a jam is often the best play. If you look at the examples you will see simialr hands like QJTTss with the BDFD and stronger BDSD make the hand class strong enough to just XC. Try not to think about "wasting the value of the hand" but instead how can i play this hand most efficently given its properties.
