Phil begins to see adjustments from Kanu7, specifically in how he reacts to 3-bets, necessitating counter adjustments of his own.

Interesting spots towards the end of the vid. I have a few questions-

42mins: KcQh single raise pot, b/c J92hh c 2o and x'd to you on Kh river, you elect to bet 4.5kish into 6k, why do you bet so big when we have plenty of value hands, but very little bluff hands. Would you want to be turning some 9x and Jx into bluffs on the river then, since bluffing like T8, and most A high hands will still leave you very value heavy?

46m: 4b 62dd, ch back KJ7ss, bet Ahh, if you were to 4b say A5o, I'm assuming you'd not bet flop often, and bet turn? 

50m: flat QhJ pf, chc 752hhh, Th checks thru, what do you think of ch/r the river? Does pairing the board change that option, since his range is not necessarily capped?

Thanks!

About the JcKc hand at the 25 minute mark, if Alexander could only fold or shove then you should be bluffraising a lot, and he shouldn't be cbetting much. Under the stated reads/assumptions your analysis is correct.

But you also need to protect your range against small flop 3-bets. Alexander gets a good price on a small flop 3-bet so you need to defend the majority of your range against it, including some of your bluffs if your range is more than 50% bluffs.

And yeah, that fact that equities in HUNL are dynamic and you have position makes it less attractive for him to to just call your raise with 7x,88-JJ. This is mostly because you have more options than him on the turn and the river.

About the QdAd hand at the 27 minute mark, I think that 5-betting to induce is very bad unless you have a read that Alexander is completely insane with 6-bet bluffs. Postflop, after you autocheck the flop, I think that AQ might be the single worst hand to bet turn give up river with. Good to see you disagreeing with past-Phil here.

Great vid as usual, Phil.

I have a few quick questions about the QhJx hand on 752hhh Th board:

- When IP, would you check back some flushes on turn for deception or pot control?  For example, in PLO I guess the board 752hhx Th would be an okay spot to check back the nut flush occasionally vs. some opponents (I might be wrong though), in a sense that we are capping our range so that he can attack on that on the river.  Do you think this applies to this spot as well?  And more importantly, would you expect Alex to bet Kh/Ah quite often on this turn?

- On the river as played, would you prefer c/r'ing or leading with your non-heart bluffs?  I don't think our SDV matters much in this case except for some miner blocker effects, or does it?

Hi there, enjoyed this vid series a lot since i used to play HU cash for a living for 3 years and switched to MTT's after. Always nice to refresh up your thinking. Anyway I have one suggestion for the 95s Hand(37min mark). Getting to the river like that I would always overbet the river and here is why: Only some hands ago on the other table you did overbet your K3s on the river and he folded (so he didnt see your hand) and your range on the river is polarized to trips or better. He is also as likely to have a King as to have a 9 which are both bluff catchers. (2 9's and 2 kings are out) However he is more likely to call with a King then with a 9 because of blocker issues. Thoughts on that?

At 10:00 w KJ on T92,7,8 you bet about 80% pot. Based on prior discussions (your range has mostly SD value, he has JX non zero freq,  I thought this would be a spot you go for smaller sizing. I get the flipside of wanting to rep more polarized which now means you have some pairs turned into bluffs and no thin value 6x, sets etc. with larger sizing. Just mostly mentioning its a double edged sword and takes intuition to know which way to go.

At 15:50 when Kanu bets 73cc on 975,5,A to me it's certainly a bluff. When he xc flop he reps hands with SD value varying from TT+ to AJ-AK, also some SC 5x and 7x hands. J8 type hands are probably more likely to bet flop or cr nonetheless they comprise a small portion of his overall range. Given he can value bet with TT-KK once you check back turn and given his PF 3b range is saturated with combos of AQ AK AJ, all of which improved to a value bet I think he can reliably expect you to fold 9x and certainly other 7x. If you stoved 9x vs his range especially if you remove other 9x and 7x (you expected him to check those) I bet you would be very behind. 

No questions this time just some comments. Nice video as usual.

I personally would love to see some very deep PLO or NL. I extrapolate all the concepts I learn here to deep games but it would be great to see you in those spots. My guess is its pretty rare you have 300bb+ effective stacks but if you ever do please record.
