One of my favorite aspects of your videos is the level of detail in the analysis of small pots. I think low stakes or new players will tend to want to analyze the big pots and that makes sense as you want to avoid making mistakes in those but often those play themselves out with both players flopping big hands in low SPR situation. It's the far more frequent smaller pots where mastery of those situations can lead to much greater increases to the bottom line. Well done!

Yeah I strongly agree with that, I was a little worried whilst reviewing vid that some ppl might have eyes glaze over at me spending more than a few secs on some <10bb pots, but as you allude to, pot size and strategic complexity are def more weakly correlated than the casual viewer may think, and the fact that theres less $$ up for grabs in any one case is somewhat balanced out by increased frequency.

Fantastic video (and series.) Looking forward to the next installment. Echo radtupperware regarding notes, been thinking about transcriptions of your videos (eg pdf w/screen shots-and of course including the jokes) would be pretty neat (and is basically what my notes on your live play videos end up being.)

Last hand KKT4 T-high flush. Opponent showsdown Q-high blocker. After you XC turn you remove some % of nut flush combos from your range. Therefore from villain's perspective Q-high blocker becomes more valuable for bluffing than K-high blocker. You say he is limiting himself to nut-flush blockers but it has to be a mistake. Or am i wrong?

Hi - the 2nf blocker is often underrated, in large part because of the reason you mentioned, however in this spot I fold more non-nut flush draws on flop MW than HU, therefore a higher % of my overall flush region is the nut flush, and the single flush I have most often is also the nut flush, which means that even if I XR some NF/NFB vs turn barrel (which vs non polar sizing I think I do at some reasonable frequency) I can easily still end up with more nut flushes than non nut flushes - its close, though, on the fourth diamond he can likely barrel marginally more aggressively. I may also gotten slightly mixed up between "what should my oppt do?" and "what do I think he actually would do?", because the point you mention is subtle and PLO-specific enough that a NLHE specialist transitioning can easily miss it (also the showdown suggests he has a high Qd give up freq since his combo makes an OK triple barrel if he in fact is barreling a decent amount of 2NFB).
