Love the vid! Maybe at 27:30 solver likes the overcard draws better because we block the overcard continuing/raising range of opponent and unblock their pairs 6s - 9s that might fold?

5:50 T#4 BTN 2.5, hero 11.5 3bet Ah7h. Risking 11bb to win 4bb (11 / (11+2.5 +.5 +1)) Hopefully formula is right, but when you 3 bet this large you need button to fold 73% of the time to be successful. Allowing button to play close to perfect with a 4.6x 3bet size. Spot right after this as well that Steve Paul pointed out with the 87h, Co vs MP, 3bet 9bb vs a 2.5bb RFI. I was doing this before as well, but solvers do not like 3 betting SCs, but also your sizing is a bit too big. Would tend to just go standard 3x (7.5-8bb) IP and then standard 4x oop (10-11bb). When you make it a larger 3 bet size, you are polarizing and incentivizing oop player to 4 bet more often rather than call.

7:15 T#6 Hero raise AA MP, co & btn call. Cbet on K76cc as Steve pointed out, showing a bit of unbalanced cbet strategy here. Earlier in the video checked AK on QJXdd. You can just check AA here and go for more of a XR to continue to balance your oop check range strategy.

19:30 T#1 with QJ on 983r MP vs BTN SRP. This board is being checked 75% of the time oop. Your combo roughly 40% bet and 60% check. I am guessing you are just choosing hands two overs and gutter to cbet with, would see the EV of check raising vs cbetting yourself. Not really loving life when you get raised on this flop by hands like 99, 88, 98s, 76s, J10s, QTs, etc. Btn is supposed to be raising here about 15% of the time and only folding 28% of the time. As played, I would over bet the turn on the 9833.

23 min T#1 87c on the J54dd-Tx board these lower SD & lower FD hands 87d are being played as pure check back. Psek pointed out in another video weaker draws, despite not having much SDV are playing a give up strategy blocking opponents’ folds. Betting hands on the turn is going to be focused on higher cards such as ATc, ATd, KdQx, AdQx, AJ, KJs, then of course sets and 2 pair hands. Made this comment before Steve ran the solve, so might be a little redundant.

39:25 - T#3 86o on the QT4JK board, you must take a stab here with no sdv. Would fight for these small pots more. I put this in wizard as BvB, the only spot that is a limped pot with a checked down, but all these 9 high and lower hands become close to pure bluffs on the river.

42:15 T#6 AKo 732r. Steve mentioned betting range here, which I tend to agree with, however, I did run this in wizard and AdKh combo is checking back 66% of the time as well as AQo. I am not sure why?!?!? Maybe because MP is just so PP dense and AK has little equity to barrel on? With the run out 7323hh-4h with a line of XX - XX - B hero call? AK mostly folding but it is almost pure calling with AxKh combos. Turning some AhKx combos into bluffs or folding.

For some of the weaker button opens or SB opens they are a bit loose, but hands like 64s BTN and 53s SB are in GTO ranges 15-45% of the time. Could be closer to pure folds based on higher rake environments though.

Overall, would work on 3 bet size being smaller both IP & OOP to a more standard size. Would continue to check range even with your made hands both HU and MW pots just mix in more XR.

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to tinker with sizing down on my 3bets. There was a video a while back (I think by Qing Yang??) that discussed the solver preferring 4x to 5x three bet sizes oop. I settled in the middle at 4.5x.

I like the overbet suggestion on the QJ hand and mixing in more XR. I don't XR the flop enough as the pfr.

RoleTide Henry posted a video yesterday as well, talking about some of the 3 bet sizes being too big. You might find the video pretty useful.

6 tables is too much for these videos. its difficult to follow action and tables are too small. 4 is probably optimal

Thanks for the feedback. There are going to be 3 parts of this review, but I'll keep it in mind going forward!

Another suggestion Steve Paul RoleTide is to just filter for hands you vpip on a replayer. That way you can click through all the actions in a single table format. I find this really helpful when reviewing sessions actually. If you are using PT4, just filter for Vpip hands or all hands, whatever you want really, then right click and export video.

as far as playing on global goes, Ive been concerned about the rake being high. Basically speaking, is the rake high to the point where it is difficult to have a satisfactory win rate?

RoleTide 4 years ago

Kylermurray The rake isn't that high and I had no problem making money starting at 25nl. The games are pretty soft and I think it is reasonable to have a 3-6 bb/100.

Steve Paul I have put in some solver work trying to improve my bluff catching range. I have already found some fun spots that I would have likely folded previously. Thank you for helping me realize a leak and make some more $$$$$$$. I look forward to learning from the next video as well.
