Love your videos Tariq and the format as well. Keep up the good work!
Great video and explanations as always!
11:00 table 2 kjhh do we get larger bet sizings on these types of flops? We want to punish potential floats. Maybe if we had a diamond or spades?
Maybe that is something we do more oop instead of ip?
12:51 table 2 aqo do you start mixing in calls with aqs?
13:05 table 3 ajo in sb do you ever 3bet here? Does the ep limp affect your decision?
21:25 table 3 9tcc would xr jam be a better line? I feel cc flop puts us in a tough spot on brick turns.
Looking forward to the database video. Thanks!
11:00 hand yes I agree; slightly larger would make more sense to disincentivize those floats
12:51 yep I definitely mostly call AQs here
13:05 If the button had iso'd smaller I'd be a little more likely to 3bet; but the fact he went so big and also the small chance of running into a UTG limp jam range makes me wanna pure fold a hand like AJo and stick to a pretty tight continuing range
21:25 Quite unsure what the best line here is given the spr is like 2.6. I think betting is pretty effective as his range just misses given how wide they are and then when faced with a jam its not the end of the world as I have virtually 8 outs to the nuts and sometimes 6 pair outs
Hi Tariq, great video as always. I have a question if you don’t mind answering.
After 34k hands at 25NL zone (beating for 9.5bb/100), I finally have 30bi for 50NL zone.
Do you think these two player pools are much different from one another? Should I just play solid poker as I try to usually?
Also, thank you for posting these great videos, they definitely help me a lot.
I think 25nl zone and 50nl zone are quite similar in terms of the skillset of players.
On Ignition I found that 25-100nl is pretty similar and then there's big big jumps between 100 and 200 and also another massive jump between 200 and 500.
So, yes, I think you should move up and take a shot. Worst case can always move down
2:00 Table 2 KTo hand, will you use some small pocket pairs with a heart as bluffs on turn and river?
14:30 Table 2 AQo hand, is the small block size the only sizing you use on the turn? On this kind of board we shouldn't have a jamming range on the turn I guess? Our range can basically range bet 20% on the turn? We should have all AK AA KK and if villain doesn't have any Kx then we can even bet 20% with our QQ and JJ? If the river is a blank will you jam KQo, QQ and JJ for thin value if you are so sure that villain's range doesn't have any Kx?
Also what 4B range do you use when there is a cold caller like this case? As there is a cold caller and if we decide to call the 3B squeeze he is quite likely to call as well? (If he is cold calling a GTOyish tight range on the button in the first place, most of the hands in his range should have enough odds to call closing the action?). Base on this assumption, should we use a hyper polarized 4B range as a lot of our middling hands (like 88-JJ, Suited broadways up to AQs, Suited connectors) don't mind seeing the flop 3 way and don't want to get blown off our equity by a jam?
I personally would use some AQo, KQo, AJo as 4B bluffs in these scenario as these hands perform poorly as a call and can realize there equity well by a short SPR created by a 4B.
Our value range should be QQ+? Will you 4B JJ here? Is AK even a value 4B here and should some AK be flatted sometimes?
As villain, if he knows we are 4betting polarized here, should he have some traps like AA and KK pre? What about a call only strategy (No 5bet)? Will that lose too much EV?
29:30 Table 3 77 hand, very similar scenario like the AQo hand and I also find these spots very tough to navigate. What should we do with our range vs squeeze when there is one or more than one cold caller? Like you said even if we call some middling hands like 66 to TT, we will usually end up bluff catching like 70% of the time unless the flop favor us a lot. The player who squeeze will very frequently bet polarized postflop and we just don't gain any EV bluff catching unless villain is extremely imbalance? Similar to you I am folding a lot in these spots and I feel like it make villain's squeeze quite +EV, especially if the cold caller will almost always fold and not punish the squeeze. How do we effectively combat these squeeze? I guess doing more 4 betting is better than calling more?
39:00 KQo hand, if you have 88 or 55 or a flush on the river, do you still use the half pot size? If you are playing against a good reg, what sizing do you use on the river? (Only one size or more than one?) What about against fish?
Just realize I almost wrote a book lol. Love your content as usual and hope you won't have a headache reading my questions XD.
@22:03 with T9c appears to be a must call for $39.46 to win ($39.46 + $87.46), when we need 31.09% to break-even, and are 42.53% against a range of JT+,88,66,T9,75,A8,K8,Q9, and any flush draw.
I'd much prefer the check-shove though, to give him a chance to make the mistake of folding any of those hands, and allow us to realize some equity for free. We'd still be ~40% if we take out some of the weaker hands in that range (K8,Q9), which still makes it quite a profitable call.
Next time, a good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that if you're getting 2:1 or better with a primary draw then you are committed.
