Very interesting video Owen!
I think it would be a good follow up video one where you aplly this sheet and the information in it to a range vs range situation (something like BTN vs BB) to see how the diferent SPRs influence your lines regarding the diferent parts of your range.
Or maybe you can choose a specific hand and see how diferent lines can be aplied in diferent board textures with diferent SPRs.
Keep up the good work!

I totally support it!
I really enjoyed the video but it would be cool to see some ranges vs ranges, and some real hands to have as reference!

Hi Owen,
I find it really hard to follow your video because there is an extremly annoying and constant static background noise - its worst while your speaking breaks.

I just checked your other videos and it is the same there as well - the audio of other pros videos is just fine.

Am I the only one to notice that?

Hey. I'm sorry to hear you've had problems. I don't pick it up when I listen to it. If you are still having problems I could contact support to see if they know of anything to help with the issue.

Great video!

I am just curious at around 17:09. If we defend 45dd against a player who has a very bluffheavy cbet-range, and we flop QK2 with one diamond and decide to checkraise with our backdoor, how do we proceed on turns were we pickup another diamond for example?

Usually I continue barrelling in these spots but against this kind of opponent he clearly has something if he continues. He will check all his Qx so do we barell to make him fold all his draw-type hands? Or what hands do we expect to fold?

I would barrel here as that is the part of my overall strategy. As well as bluffs here I am also going to have value hands. If I end up just checking in this spot with all my bluffs because my opponent may have something then we become a very good target to just float v all ch/rr. I think your mistake here is thinking about one hand in isolation from the rest of your range. If you can also have KQ, K2s, Q2s and 22 here then we need some hands to continue bluffing with. The 45dd seems like a good combo to continue with on a d turn and we also check this turn a lot with other missed backdoor draws such as 45cc if there was a bdfd on the flop for that combo. Yes its not ideal to be double or triple barreling with 5 hi BUT you do have outs to win on the river and you can also fold him off better hands by the river such as AJ with a bdfd on flop, TJ, J9 with bdfd etc. As part of our overall strategy it makes sense to barrel with this combo.
