RIP avr0ra
Just pick up all the best line and getting wrecked..
btw, definitely like to watch this video type. but more love to see 200z, 500z session analysis or live playing!
Thanks for the constructive feedback :)
Wanted to try smthg new this time around.
Will def keep your suggestions in mind for future videos.
Hey Jericho! Interesting video, it’s fun to listen to great player breaking down some of the best in the world! But I do enjoy your theory video slightly more ;P
The last hand KJ v J9 is so shocking esp the play from Stefan, but I mean, that’s why he is Stefan. On Linus’s flop raising you mentioned there’re two factors - lower future equity on runouts and unblocking villain’s overpairs. How much do you think the future equity matters in this case? Since it’s a 1) 3BP IP and 2) the board is quite dry and 3) with an aggressive opponent left to act. Our trips is committed anyway for this stack size from Linus's perspective, I don’t mind letting my opponent picking up bdfd and we can easily get it in OTT when we call the flop.
What do you think about this thought process? Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Linus unblocking backdoors is pretty big because it might make opponent 3bet flop w smthg like KQdd. So it adds a bit of EV in the sense that Linus doesn't block any potential 3bet bluffs from opponent.
However, I do agree w your reasoning and thought process. I do feel like calling flop is fine too (and probably the most std play), but Linus did pick imo the best Jx combo to raise flop w in this particular hand.
I think your speculation is perceptive, but I think PIO should be included next time
Duly noted.
Cool format. Maybe you could take some of the most interesting hands and do a solver review.
44:40 you mention avrora's overpairs are now doing badly on the Ad river. I wonder how many aces dexx has that made it here. A lot of aj probably jams turn, and since it is the Ad he can't have axdd. Other than the flush coming in I don't think the ace is super bad.
Thanks!
Yeah the solver review could def be included next time around.
A4s, A9s, AKo that didn't 4bet pre. He also has to float all the A2sshh, A3sshh and A5sshh otf, and those all call turn as well. So he should get there w a decent amount of Ax imo.
Enjoyed the analysis - agree with others that a few PIO sims would add to the video, especially when we see something that looks like it may be non-standard.
31.50 - avr0ra 3bets to 11BB when 190BB deep
We saw here that avr0ra decided to 3bet a little smaller than usual, perhaps it's because the players were so deep that they decided to size down? Would you size down here or use your standard 3bet sizing?
Also, do you like the choice of his specific 3betting hand whilst this deep?
Thanks for the feedback :)
There are different opinions on how to size 3bets when deeper. Some people like to size up, others to keep it relatively the same size as 100bb deep. However, this was the first time that I was seeing a reg kind of size down his 3bet size as he gets deeper. Might be smthg that only him does, or maybe a few others. I haven't rly looked into it, but I wouldn't read too much into it either.
I think that 53s is def fine to 3bet, but keep in mind that it's a fqcy play obviously.
min 43.00 you mention avrora should size up ott. I've run the hand in GTO Wizard and it seems to prefer to 2nd barrel for small again after choosing small otf, which i agree seems counterintuitive but thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense. You dont target pairs on the board or flsuh draws etc. but AQo/s, low pockets and other floats that struggle to continue vs that size. And your overpairs and strong Jx can shove river anyways. Further, it gives you more room for shoving river with your bluffs and you can 2nd barrel thinner with hands like JT, TT that like to bet for protection(cos villain just x back weaker hands and reopen action with better hands...)
I agree tho that i barely see this size even on NLk1+ ott. Could be a very cool exploit cos people arent familiar with it. Well, its not even an exploit as it seems to be very much GTO. Your thoughts? Like the vid a lot.
Btw, highly disagree with the "very well played" hand by avrora when he 3b 53s. that just seems waaay too wide and punty? Once he arrives otf, well, i agree, he played the hand well, but preflop seems very disrespectful?
Thanks for liking the vid.
I believe that both sizes can be used here, depending on how you want to play your range ott (in PIO). Either you choose a small size can continue barreling 9x+ for value and every possible bluff or you choose a more polarized size which would be good Jx+ and more selective bluffs w a decent amount of x/r. Both sizes make sense to me imo. But I agree, the small size is cool as well.
53s is def in there at small fqcy as a 3bet. But that's the key, it needs to be at small fqcy. Quite easy to go overboards w it.
I liked it. I dont wany any solvers in this kind of video.
Thanks for the feedback :)
