Can I ask what your production frequency is? 2/month ish? Now that I've watched all of your videos on here I find myself a bit impatient in waiting for the next. Do you, per chance, have any content sources (videos/books/articles) you would recommend I could spend time?
14:00 you cbet Ts4s on AdTh8c and mention in it's a very, very small number of Tx you cbet on this board just to keep a non-zero amount of Tx in your cbet range.
I have 2 questions regarding this.
How imperative do you think it is that you have bare Tx in your cbet range given that you may cbet some 2pair combos containing Tx and also given that you'll have sets in your cbet range that also improve on Tx turns or rivers. (put another way, do you think you are missing out on significant or only minimal strat value if you don't cbet any Tx?)
Does the number of combos of bare Tx you want to cbet change based on board texture? e.g. if the flop is AT6r or AT5 where he will flop fewer draws to float (or even say some 9x on A94, e.g.) do you want to cbet still with some middle pair combos? And if so, is it fewer combos?
It's kind of hard for me to estimate the importance of things like this, and for a while I was skeptical of the need for them as well. The solvers seem to suggest that in a lot of spots, I wasn't cbetting enough of a distribution of pairs (too many top pairs, not enough weaker pairs), so I've tried to adapt my strategy closer to that in ways that make sense to me.
3betting the river within my range that chose to lead out for 3/4 pot is going to be very uncommon, although perhaps it needs to be a bigger concern now that I know how Ben chose to play this spot. I'd very likely be representing some hands like 77 or the occasional big flush, but without the nut blocker I don't think I'll be choosing an allin size here. I think I'd end up sizing something like 3.8k, which should make sense for the equity of 777 vs his likely range and avoid overplaying if he ever has the nut flush.
so @18:20 where you say you should have bluffed river with q6ss then face a bet, wouldn't this make it a good x/r bluff hand being the bottom of your range and removing as many tx and 5x as any other hand? or do you just lead almost all your quad combos otr?
yeah I have the same question, its a spot where IP is almost always capped to less than Tx boats so is it reasonable for Hero to set up a xr range with some of our Tx?
xr is a reasonable option here and probably one I under utilize. I think the very likely play for his Tx or some random 9x hands is to bxb, so having a large sizing xr range is logical for me. I wouldn't say he's capped in the sense that there's no protection concerns with quads and he could easily check behind some % of the time if he thought it was beneficial. I could still probably size quite big here on an xr since he's going to be firing often enough, given his overpair advantage with TT-AA.
I think we want to xr with hands that have two kickers which will well represent our most common 5x combos that flat preflop 100% (like Q5o-A5o, 56o). Sounds like this would've been a nice xr combo based on my own analysis here, as would K6, while A6 might just be strong enough to xc.

I always really enjoy your videos, Kevin. Thanks!

Great video again
Last hand Kh7x : if we reraise the river, what sizing would you choose ? Would you use more than one ?
