POSTED Nov 08, 2021

As part of the annual elite purchase members were entitled to a review of a session from one of our coaches and this is what we're serving up today. The player asked to remain anonymous and battles it out at high stakes HUPLO which happens to be our reviewers specialty.

Turn pot bet from IP with KT32cc at minute 6 seems quite bad

Phil Galfond 3 years, 3 months ago

Not the best combo choice, but I like to see someone betting a range that incentivizes more check-jams on this turn because most people fail to in my experience.

Cory Mikesell 3 years, 3 months ago

Yes, for sure. The vast majority of the population in OOP's shoes will fail to find x/shoves and therefore allow IP to increase his linear and equity driven stabbing. Because of this tendency, I've even gone so far as to reduce my OOP cbet frequency significantly (against some people), in order to increase my flop and turn x/r frequency to punish this exploit

QJT3 trip suited at the 25 min mark, why do we not consider to bluff shove this hand on the river? what are our bluffs then? the hand blocks very well the full houses and villian's range seems pretty much capped like Phil said, a lot of flushes

Phil Galfond 3 years, 3 months ago

Great question. This hand is worth considering for a bluff-jam. The challenge is that we have a lot of hands like this (blocking a boat). It's an odd spot because I assume we can also jam the nut flush for value here against his sizing scheme, so I'm not sure what I prefer to block. We want our opponent to have a Q hi flush or so, so I guess any trips with Ad blocker is a good bluff-shove. And then we'll probably shove some hands like the one we have here (Jx or 9x without blocking a non-ace diamond), but we have to restrain ourselves on the double paired board and just go with a low frequency.

That was also my assumption, the hand is fine for a bluff, but we have to restrain ourselves to not go overboard with the frequencies. I actually thought our hand is pretty decent for a bluff, it blocks the top of his value range and does not block a lot of his assumed b/f on the river with medium flushes. Just one last question: In the shoes of our opponent, do we b/f or b/c here the river with his combo without any fh blocker and not blocking the nut flush?

Great video. Would be cool to see a part 2 and maybe devote a few minutes at the end to doing a couple of interesting hands in vision.

The hand at 26:50 on the right I also thought it would be a good spot for a bluff. Thanks for that explanation.
