Nice one Henry! I saw u open EP w K7s, i assume because of a rec in the BB? How wide do u usually go in that kind of scenario?
Thanks!
Table dependent but k9s+ mandatory with k8-k5s being lower frequency opens.
Wish you made more videos! mas! mas mas!!
When you open 2.5x and players 3bet to 9bb you fold quite a bit due to the sizing. As a live player when I open 3bb or 4bb ($15-$20) and get 3bet to around 12bb ($60), given they have a pretty value oriented 3 bet range, which hands would you recommend calling / 4 betting with?
I was thinking I shouldn't even have a 4 bet range to keep their entire 3 bet range in. In the past I was calling with some suited broadways J10s-KQs, AJs-AQs, 77-QQ, then 4 betting KK-AA & AK being a mix.
I tightened up my 3 bet calling range quite a bit as effective stacks are usually around $500, pot will be about $120 and SPR around 3.6x. Started to fold more suited broadways as good as KQs and AJs and call basically AQs+, AK, and some medium to strong pockets. I think just over folding against their 3% 3 bet range is best. Would love to hear your opinion on this though.
Really wish Rio had more live play videos, maybe take hands off LATB and talk about them in depth a bit more.
More coming soon!
Vs a bigger 3 bet sizing I just look to reduce the amount of hands which continue. Thus folding the weaker opens is the simple answer. If villain risks 9 big blinds to win 4 (1+0.5+2.5) then I only need need to continue 1-(9/13)=0.3, so 30% of the time in order to not be overfolding here. This means I can theoretically fold 70% of the time vs a 3 bet here and not be getting exploited mathematically.
In live poker I would adjust my continuing range based on how wide i think this range is. For example if it's big and a tight range then just fold a ton. If you think they're 3 betting wide with this large sizing then I would continue wider.
Also remember it is not overfolding as you only have to defend 30% of your range here to not be exploited.
I will be discussing hands from the replayer in the next upload.
Thanks Henry. Gotta go back and do my own math and break down the combos in my range.
There was another video by FR player Julian talking about a reg who over folds to 3bets on the BTN despite the blinds 3 betting very light. He was making a profit despite over folding to 3bets by over stealing around 58%. I know this is off topic, but against players using basic preflop charts, do you think its good to basically open ATC on the btn rfi given players dont 3bet enough or are there too many reverse implieds? I think over stealing low \ micro stakes might be good since blinds usually dont defend enough. Just a question of do we bother looking at our cards or not?
If you are against players who are not defending enough of their range vs your open raise size (lets say you minraise button for 2bb) then BB needs to call 1BB to win a total of 4.5bbs in the pot. Thus requiring 22% pot odds to call. SO in this situation BB should defend extremely wide (close to ATC).
You can also look at it like this - Button risks a minraise (1bb) to pickup the total pot of (1+0.5+1)=2.5. 1/2.5 is 0.4 so that would mean if the blinds together are playing very tight and collectively fold 40% of the time you are printing money opening any two cards even if you check and never win a pot postflop. You will win sometimes though so you don't even need the blinds to be this tight.
Coming back to your question, I agree with stealing wider on the button/cutoff at microstakes especially as the blinds will not defend enough (especially in a zoom setting where people fastfold hands they don't want to play)
Obviously you can open wider but opening any two cards is unlikely to be profitable for most people.
May be a misunderstanding on my part. But on this one with the btn min raise, wouldn’t the math be (btn bet)/(bb+sb+btn bet) = 2/(1+.5+2) = 2/3.5 = 57% ? With a MDF for the bb of 43% ? What am I missing though? Thanks.
You are correct. He Calculated it with the min raise being one BB instead of two BB's.
Yeah you and Ciaran are both correct just an error. Thanks for clearing it up!
to fast Henry, would be nice to have same videos but with 3 or even 2 tables, thanks!
Hi Henry, great video again !
At 19;00 bottom right KsQs, SB calls. You say he's a reg, so even if it's 200z and rake isn't as bad as it is at lower stakes, shouldn't he have a 3bet/fold strategy only in the SB ? I didn't pay attention if the guy in the BB was a rec, it probably changes the situation if that's the case. And finally, if you have a calling range vs HJ like in this spot, i struggle to see the part of my 3bet/fold range that i could put in it.
If you could help me on this i'd be great.
Again, great stuff, hope to see more of it ;)
BTW sorry in my english isn't perfect, i'm French, i'm doing the best i can ^^ And maybe you said "Rec" instead of "Reg" for the guy in the SB, in that case that changes things, my bad !
Love your videos, keep them coming.
If I could change one thing I would like to see 2-3 tables instead of 4, because at times it's a bit chaotic :)
