In the JJ9 hand, I didn't quite understand why you think villain should have used a small sizing. In your previous videos you had that spectrum of polarization VB - VG, where VB checks and VG range-bets. Since you said both players can have Jx and 99, this board would be classified as "=", so as the aggressor, we should use a 66% sizing. Using a 33% sizing implies the board is very good (VG), but this contradicts what you said in the video. Is there another factor that I'm missing or misunderstanding?

The difference here is between boards that cause equities to run closer together by offering ways of catching up against PFR's unique hands like the best TPTK and overpairs and boards that are way ahead/way behind for these hands.

In the JJ9 example, the key point is that PFR no longer holds a unique (meaning only he has them) portion of hands that is nutted - his overpairs are now smashed by Jx. Therefore, as PFR, we need to use smaller bets. If we start beting very large, we filter Villain's range towards a higher concentration of hands that smash us. Overpairs are good but not very good on this texture.

Contrast that to QT6tt which equalises in a different way. This board is much better for PFR, but the unique hands (KK AQ) etc are not as far ahead as they would be on JJ9 WHEN they ARE ahead. Equities between different cluster of hands run closer together on QT6tt and so bigger bet sizes are warranted to protect equity and push the nutted hands which desire value more urgently.

As FTGU is a beginner's course, I tried to side-step getting too deep into board texture and equilibrium sizing. You might find that videos sometimes contradict advise in that they breach a topic in a morer comprehensive way instead of making these big simplifications.

Hello Peter, the AKo hand at 10mins. Is flatting the 3b an option at 120bbs?

Also, do you ever flat AKo vs a 3b when UTG in heads up pots at 100bbs?

I think we could flat here no problem. The Cold caller being in the pot however, is likely to hurt my equity considerably and is obviously providing more dead money to increase the EV of shoving. I also think this is a very low implied odds situation post-flop in that I don't expect to do that well with one pair 120BB deep in the 3-way 3-bet pot. The cold caller likely has mostly 99-QQ which can fold to the shove and refuse to ever put money in vs. my pairs post-flop unless they have flopped a set.

Yeah this is my standard actually vs. many opponents when I've opened UTG. Without the cold call in that hand I'd be mixing call and 4-bet/call.
