Excellent video.

It’s always weird to me how often i see pros get “close but not quite right” to the sims. Is it just pio study that got you there?

Thanks a lot

PIO study and a whole lot of playing hahah.

I think that people often underestimate how valuable playing experience is compared to studying.

Hand #1 I don't think your logic was too far off with the Kd7d. It's pretty damn thin but when you consider OOP being polar you are still ahead of the draws that are put in a tough spot and crushed by the other part of the range. Despite what the subtree said, I still like the play at a low frequency. If you look at 4:11 before you created the subtree K7s was still raising, so maybe something is wrong with the subtree? That or it's just only using the smaller raise size. Also Thank you for the follow up video.

Yeah, thanks for the feedback. My in-game logic seemed to be on the right track, or not too far off.

As for the subtree, you're right. When we don't solve for the subtree, it does seem like my play is a thing sometimes.

But realistically, villain will only have a big sizing there and I will only be shoving or calling vs that kind of sizing. Therefore, I would guess that the subtree is still more accurate of what we should do (raising the A7 and A4 only and some good draws).

Very nice video!

On hand #2 where you had AsTc, I guess tha reason that we see solver "not liking" a spade is that we block bluffs on the flop and folds on the turn, not having an impact on the river.

Flop we see that AcTs is the one that continue the least amount of the time vs the check raise (between the AcTx that continue)

On the turn we see that KsQc is the one that bet the least (between the KQo that bet) - we don't want to block his natural KsXs folds on the turn, I didn't understand why the same thing doesn't happen for for AcTs, maybe villain almost never has exactly the Ts on his flop x/r range, but then my first argument with AcTs wouldn't make sense - only if he never checks Ts on the turn.

And yeah, we often overvalue our hands vs the x/r on the flop, especially when we are in earlier positions, been there done that hahah

V nice in depth summary Max!

Yeah basically, if we have a spade in our hand = bad float. Even if we have a good club.

I totally agree w your last pt; we have to fold a lot more vs aggression when we opened from early position. I often times struggle w this lol. Good thing pointing it out.
