Really like your videos! I know you used to play a decent amount of 2k+. Do you still play those stakes regularly or are you mainly playing 1k lately?
Thanks for the kind words :)
I ran bad in my 10k shots and had not so great bankroll management + market (crypto and stock) has been quite bad so I'm trying to weather the storm until things get better and then, I'll go back to 2k+.
Great review!
6:13 it looks like we 3bet ak and aq. This is interesting as I'm not sure this is for value or a bluff to fold smaller pocket pairs.
I assume the 3bet of 66 77 88 is for value but are we folding to a jam?
Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words :)
The AK-AQ 3bets are value/bluff. Meaning that we call off vs jam. You ride the two overs +bdfd and hope to get there lol.
You assumed right w the 3bets w the lower pps. We 3bet them for value, but we do indeed fold to the jam ( we are quite dead vs Jx).
Enjoyed the review!

You mention that villain raises but shouldn't have a raising range, and that it can be tricky to navigate such spots. I also find it a little tricky and occasionally make some out of line plays in response. What are your thoughts on how to respond in such situations? You mention in this exact spot you think that folding is just best - do you anticipate players to mainly raise strong hands like AK, and continue to call with draws, especially when in position?
Thanks again :)
I totally agree w your assumption. I think that villain will be overly weighted towards value. So just folding a lot makes sense. Especially given how much strength we've shown in the hand already.

53s is better than 54s as a turn barrel because IP will call both 44 and 33 on the flop, but IP will have more combos of 44 than 33 as 44 is pure in the preflop range but 33 isn't. Therefore 54s blocks a few more combos of the folding range than 53s. Got no idea why 43s doesn't bluff at all though.
41.52 976d5d3d facing river overbet with AdA
Kinda surprised that when calling the river overbet with AA or A9 that Ad isn't a positive blocker for hero calling. Is it because OOP's range has improved so much that they get to bluff most A high hands on the river, and especially those with Ad? Therefore Ad is represented in both the value and bluff region, making it a neutral blocker?
Thanks a lot for the explanation on why 53s is a better barrel than 54s! It makes sense given the fqcies in the preflop ranges.
As for the AA hand, I think that you are spot on. Ad becomes a neutral blocker. OOP will have to bluff w it. Like you said, it will be present in both regions (bluff and value).
Great video!
Thanks a lot :)
14:30 - 19min this hand was pretty shocking to see that combo draws want to fold to the min raise on the turn or 3bet all in. I thought the direct odds and then just donk river when you improve would make the most sense with some XR in there.
Also some older videos you had a note pad where you would ask 3-5 questions about each hand then as you reviewed it you would write down the answer for minimum value thresholds or what hands you want to bluff with given certain suits. I think you covered everything in the video as you talked about it. I just think writing it out helps a lot as well. Often times if I don't write something out and just say "ok I know this spot now." I end up repeating the same error the next session or even like a week later because it wasn't really fully learned. Even if you have the questions and answers written out before hand, its just nice to see.
Yeah, I was surprised too tbh. But I guess that w the board paired and not having a straight draw to go w it + the fact that he's not supposed to ever raise here; it all makes for a v compelling argument to fold.
As for writing down stuff, I fully agree w you. It does help a lot. I will try and implement it in my next study video. Thanks for the feedback.
thejericho2 The JdJx fast plays more often than JJ no diamond because when you hold JdJx and villain has a set the SPR will still be low on the turn, but you have the ability to catch D-D to outdraw the set and you have 1 of the outs vs a fd to reduce their equity. Then JJ no diamond will take one off instead of 3 betting because it wants to reduce the equity vs a FD and not flip vs a hand like KdQd. There is a old Henry Lister video that explains this. Sorry I don't remember what video it was, but if you click through his videos he explains it to me in the comments.
Ahh yeah, your explanation makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying it! I always wondered why it was like this...
thejericho2 These spots are very tricky! Because in Max's recent video he 3bets TT, calls 4bet and then XRAI on the flop 632dd, where he has TT (no diamond!). So in 4BP you are just shipping regardless of your suits but in 3BP with SPR is a bit higher you want the suit of the board. Then in SRP, not much 3 betting at all on the flop... I'm sure there is an SPR chart around some where that people can use to base their actions on shipping over pairs or not.
RunItTw1ce yeah a chart w regards to the spr would be quite useful in those situations. Thanks a lot :)
