Hey Richard,
I would really like to praise you as a coach. Honestly, your quality is better than everything else there is in the market for plo coaching, by far. I am primarily a NLHE player, who has only recently started dabbling in plo, and watching your videos, i get the feeling that i used to get while watching KRab( Kevin Rabichew) videos 2-3 years back, they just absolutely changed the way i used to think about NHLE, and even though they were filled with incredible information, motivated me to work even harder on my game, by myself. So I feel absolutely privileged to have you as a RIO coach. Please keep this up :)
Also, do you think maybe do some focus theory videos every once in a while? Even though every liveplay of yours is like 3-4 theory videos combined, i think it will be very educational as a viewer to see a focused theory video every once in a while( maybe a theory video on, say betsizing, in plo).
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks very much, im glad youre finding so much value in the content and am ofc very flattered by any Krab comparisons :).
Theory vids - historically ive tried to sprinkle them in at reasonable rates, but pre-WSOP i guess there was a trend towards liveplay content. My back catalogue is mostly still pretty current if you havent checked it out, if you have - noted your suggestion and youll def see some theory from me in the not too distant future :)
Also,at 26:57, i couldn't understand the reason why blocking a T seems more relevant while betting a hand like ours. Since our opponent polarized flop, shouldn't it be more relevant to block flop value than turned value ( like flop set, flop 2P). If he was rangebetting flop then i would surely understand it, as T in general will block more value, but since he has a healthy checking frequency, it kind of beats me.
Unless ive misread your post - OOP didnt polarise flop, in these positions he cbets flop a ton. Blocking a ten then matters bc it blocks stronger value, turn improves for his bluffs/medium strength stuff etc. Lmk if I misunderstood.
35:58 bottom left, I agree with doggo, b/f with nfd doesn't feel great. In retrospect do you think checking would be better? Is potting flop to 'commit ourselves' a thing?
So last hand left table, are you saying solver probably bets bigger on river but real world betting smaller makes more sense? I would usually bet big, but it does feel like I'm rarely getting called by worse.
35.58 is another "reasoning from your baseline" thing - if i was btn v bb and cbetting flop less then what you said would have decent amt of merit, as it is my range adv is large enough im just cbetting everything - fold out equity, "bluff" out Qx etc etc.
last hand - quite a while ago but I think what i was saying is that irl you get called down less aggressively and so where in solverland a lot of AAxx is good enough to justify all-in and my range is also setup in a way where that makes a lot of sense, certainly vs most populations smaller is a decent explo choice.
while J82r is certainly interesting in your first solve, the actual hand was J82 two tone :) I guess this will mean JJ raises more often (especially without FD)
(fwiw JJ raise %s are very similar although twotone is slightly higher, i think the IP mechanic of slowplaying a lot at low SPR is resilient vs twotone/rainbow shifts).
