Thank you!

You can definitely lock in a range for the OOP 3-bet and take a look at the solver response. In my experience if you just play around with the combos that are getting 3-bet but keep value:bluff ratio ~constant the defending ranges are pretty stable and tend to expand a little bit once the 3-bettor is using non optimal combos.

You can definitely have a 3bet/call and 3bet/fold range 27bb deep, but I think that we should have a shoving range as well. A hand like QTs is not a hand that I would want to have as part of my small 3-bet range at these stacks because 3-betting it doesn't accomplish that much (relative to other hands that we can use to bluff with) and we fold a bit more equity than we would want to the times we get 4-bet shoved on.

hello Daniel Dvoress , which hands you would 3bet/fold here with 27bb ?

Your bluffs should come from hands with good blockers that don't lose out on too much equity when they get shoved on and aren't great flats. Stuff like A9o, offsuit broadways that are on the weaker side and I don't want to flat with would be where the majority of my bluffs come from.

Yeah, if I bet I think I'd use a pretty big bet size since I'm betting so polar. Maybe not quite 7b, but something around 2/3rds pot seems intuitively right.

I think we can x/c a decently sized bet - our outs are very clean, we dominate a few FD combos.

one more q: do u have a rule of thumb for such spots? once x/c turn and hit riv flush, if to lead or x/r? on one hand want max value with x/r, other it sucks when villain xback.

will take chance to write ty for earlier 'intuitive gto' video, i've been doing pio research this way ever since saw it.

figured in a spot like when X/C it's not about the implied odds of getting paid on the river as much as simply immediate odds and realising equity of a strong hand. still don't know if filled on river plan should be mostly bet or x/r.

Right, the turn call is more about immediate odds and having a hand that realizes equity well across rivers.

one more q: do u have a rule of thumb for such spots? once x/c turn and hit riv flush, if to lead or x/r? on one hand want max value with x/r, other it sucks when villain xback.

The rule of thumb is to not lead rivers after x/c unless the river somehow drastically improves your overall range compared to your opponents. Generally these situations are very rare, I don't think this is one of them.

Thank you!

Thanks! I try to do a balance of theory videos and stuff like this as I find it's a pretty even split with viewer's preferences. Personally I prefer to do theory stuff myself as well :)

the EP minraise allows hero to vpip more. position already signals strong range to villains behind, so no need to size it up. LP steals with larger size such as the 85s generate more preflop fold equity which is desired when playing wide ranges, otherwise vs. minraise BB gets to defend just about everything.

I agree the 85s 2.5x and ATo 2.25x is inconsisent, is there reason or just sloppy? low stakes this would be fine because noone will notice. opposed to 85s, holding as strong of a hand as ATo hero wants BB to come along. however, villain of BBs caliber may actually note the sizings should the hand go to SD and therefore have a read on hero for future situations.

easy to analyse those off the tables with plenty time. not so obvious ingame, esp. with short timebanks. but i guess the more pondering on such topics, the clearer and faster thought process becomes while playing. thinking faster / slowing time, matrix style.

suggestion for future videos: more blind on blind battles. those are the bread and butter spots which build winrate, opposed to entertaining puzzles of crazy situations which don't happen often.

ATo vs 85s:
This one is just sloppy but also right on the cusp and doesn't matter that much. Stacks are something like 42/61/34 in both. If it was something like 32/32/32 then 2.5x would be a mistake and if it was 50/50/50 then 2.5x is probably slightly superior, but all in all I don't think this impacts your EV too much. As long as you're not raising big when stacks are such that you get shoved on a bunch, and not raising too small when you never get shoved on, you're OK.

Later in the video when I am minraising from EP there are shortacks behind me so I expect to get shoved on at a decent frequency, so I minraise.

I dont have the payouts and would be curious what hrc said

I don't know payouts either but will have to guess this is an ICM fold so it is interesting to hear Daniel say slam dunk call. So I think it is a good question which I am also interested in hearing some feedback from Daniel on.
