This is not really apropos anything in the video, but could you say just a word about when it is correct to play trips and (if ever) quads?

Thank you.

I think trips or quads preflop are pretty uncommon and also all non-AAAx hands very low EV even if you are supposed to open that you can just fold all.

The only exception you can make is AAAx.

thx for the video as always

I liked the play with the QT checking on K-J-9, has anyone else noticed the board pairs more often playing Omaha than texas holdem? ;)

Thank you Phil, I liked the thought process, and easier to digest the dry stuff in the solver as you put it in a different perspective, I picked some of the more fun spots and dissect them with the solver:

At 1:09
Preflop: 9655ss from co is a clear fold, if we don’t have an A next to the 55ss then the only hands opening are 6455ss, 5544ss, 5533ss, 5522ss.
Postflop: 100bb co vs btn on 982r were checking 87% (some AA with 2bdfd and pair blocker are cbetting and calling a 3b) from oop, ip bets 53% with ¾ pot facing a check. Surprisingly 9655 from oop folds 100% even with 2bdfd (9665 would be a cr bluff with 2bdfd and a fold with 1bdfd). Turn is a 9 and a fd is possible, oop has an 81% overall check here, and ip bets 56% with ¾ pot. As we should never have 9655 here we cant check it in solver but 9667 is calling this bet 100%.

Preflop: QQT5ss is a fold from co facing mp open, QQT8ss or better can call.
Postflop: Vision has similar T96 and T87 board, we can check both although the result are very similar.
T96ss co vs btn, where oop checks 88% overall and ip bets 52% with ½ pot facing a check. QQT5ss is checking 92% with the (pure) fd. If the turn is flushing 8 then oop checks 80% and ip bets only 13% with ¾ pot. QQT5ss is indeed checking 71% with the flush. On the 9 river oop only checks 13%, bets ¼ pot 62% (some straights, some flushes, some air with fb or straight blocker) and pots 25% (stronger hands like straight flush, quads, strong fh, nf). IP cback 38% (straight, overpairs, few air), pots 19% (air with fb and straight blocker, some flush, fh, quads, sf) and half pot 43%. QQT5ss with qhigh flush (5 is the other) pots 3% and bets half 97%.
T87ss co vs btn, where oop checks 87% overall and ip bets 47% with ½ pot facing a check. QQT5ss is checking 80% with the (pure) fd. If the turn is flushing 9 then oop checks 80% and ip bets 16% with ¾ pot. QQT5ss is indeed checking 91% with the flush. On the 9 river oop only checks 13%, bets ¼ pot 62% (some straights, some flushes, some air with fb or straight blocker) and pots 25% (stronger hands like straight flush, quads, strong fh, nf, some air with fb). IP cback 38% (straight, overpairs, few air), pots 19% (air with fb and straight blocker, some flush, fh, quads, sf) and half pot 43%. QQT5ss with qhigh flush (5 is the other) checks 16% and bets half 84%.

Preflop: KKJ9ss sb vs co is a 3b/fold
Postflop: sb vs btn 50bb 655ss flop, oop overall checks 5% , bets 1/3 77% and pots 18%. KKJ9ss with fd cbets 1/3 100% and gii. The theoretical AKJ7ss with bdfd is bet/folding 1/3 pot close to 100% (with fd+ bet/calls). AA bets 1/3 pot 76%, trips bet 1/3 pot 89%, QJT9 with fd is bet/folding, JT98 with fd is bet/folding but with fd and bdfd is bet/calling, and interestingly KQJT with pure fd is bet/folding 63% but bet/calling with fd and bdfd 100%.
