I picked the sizings as a compromise between the double barrel line and the check, delayed c-bet line. Practically it has very little impact on range structure because we are changing the odds by a couple of percent, so there are going to be very few hands impacted. In practice, my turn sizings will be slightly smaller.

On the AdJs hand, I think we need to understand the size of v-bet range which is actually pretty small. Since it's small, we just aren't going to be able to bet all of our overcards + one card spades here. AdJs has a little showdown value so it gets checked a fair bit, but something like KoQs would generally be pure bet, because it's a lower value check.

Very nice video Tyler
I agree with RunItTw1ce ,no one doubted you are beating the games!

I've never been much of a fan of sizing down my v-bets and sizing up my bluffs. It makes an always call strategy really profitable, because you lose say -10bb against the v-bet and win 15bb against the bluff for example. It also makes hand reading really easy, which long-term could mean 0bb against v-bet and +15bb against bluff which is a catastrophe for the opponent.

It's the number of possible bluffs on the AQs hand, with the As he just doesn't have AsXs to bluff so he's actually range is better constructed to handle the extra calls. If I want to increase bluffing frequency here AsXs is the first new region in, which makes AoQs a better call long term. If I have As, then even against the expanded bluffing range, my EV is similar. PIO finds some mix to call the hand, but practically it's probably pretty bad.

thanks for response, didn't mean to size value and bluffs differently, meant an entirely different size, 85% is just a bit bigger than what I see most people use in these sorts of spots in 3bp, see more b65-75. Although, sure, this has a minor impact on pretty much anything, was just kinda curious about the non "standard" size.

Explanation on AQ spot is helpful, thanks.

Just to follow up we have so many gut shots on this board that it seems like bigger hurts value more than smaller because we can’t bluff all of our draws at the smaller sizing.

Thanks for following up, appreciate it! Really like your stuff, cornerstone of rio elite, especially for people that play on iggy/bovada.

Okay so I came up with 17 or so boards when counted. I'm going to use B to represent Broadways, M for T-7 and L for 6-2.

ABL, AML, KBL, KMM, QMM, QLL, JML, JLL, TML, TLL, 9ML, 9LL, 8LL, 7LL, B-Paired Boards, Medium Paired Boards, Low Paired Boards, Monotone, Ace-High Monotone, B-straight boards, M-straights, L-straights.

A, K high boards account for roughly 40% of boards, Paired are 18% and Straight possible are 18%, Monotone are 5%. Rainbow is 40% and 2-tone is 55%.

Tyler Forrester a video on going over difficult boards in the trainer would be very much appreciated for these boards you are struggling with.

Thank you! Sometimes, I think the argument against me is that I'm some old timer that hasn't modernized so I wanted to show I was still performing at top-levels.

On the 2-bet c-bet sizings, you can always use multiple sizings -- I don't personally for these reasons: 1) It's hard to decent math in game and the 2 sizings doubles the amount of nodes we need to construct. 2) Because 1 is so hard, the vast majority of players with 2 sizes give away so much information about their hand that it's actually easier to play against because one sizing is usually completely out of balance.

PIO and the player pool disagree pretty significantly on the calling OOP -- my pool defends 60% of to a 7.5 bb with a 20% 4-bet and 40% call. PIO defends the same range with 20% 4-bet and 20% call. This leads to lots of scenarios where PIO is just too conservative with value-betting and bluffing ranges.

The solvers have definitely complicated the game considerably. Lots more players are willing to try low-frequency off-beat lines with hands to try to match the solvers balance. The other major change is the number of betsizes in many spots has exploded. I'll face a c-bet size on say 862 of anywhere between 1bb and 200% of pot. This is much more complicated to play against then some of the older heuristics of bet 3/4 check or auto-c-bet 33%. I use a couple of approaches to understand poker better. Using PIO to understand multi-street situations better, because it incorporates future action better than the poker stove analysis. I also use a lot more sophisticated database analysis on the profitability of different lines with different hand regions. Hand2Note has really been a game changer for the amount of information available.

Tyler Forrester could you consider doing a video that covers the way in which Hand2Note has been a game changer.

RoleTide I think I'm going to keep this private for now, but I'll consider using hand2Note more in my videos.

Tyler Forrester completely understand and we all greatly appreciate what you are willing to share.

You can use a pre flop sim in the trainer and it starts from preflop

Thanks for the reply, I use monker for all my preflop sims, Do you just input one pio preflop sim in the folder then the rest postflop script to get all the different boards? Been using the trainer but only input a bunch of postflop scripts so not sure how to do preflop as well and cant find any info on it online.
Enjoyed the video look forward to see more.

So if you need pio preflop but then you just save the preflop sim in the folder

Okay thank you

Thanks Truepower!

That's a fair thought, but we should worry about the raise here and just deal with it when it comes.
