At 19m with 25o in the BVB against Shaun. I was curious how often you start constructing betting ranges on the turn there(satellite strategy aside)? Not necessarily on the 10s turn, but on most under card turns. I tend to think its more profitable to double barrel in these spots, because it seems like i'm getting called on the river when I only bet once, more often that not with hands that had overs and improve or A/K high and can hero/bluff catch.

great vid.
at 36min, regarding shaun deebs range when he 3b sb, you expect him to be linear even though there are clearly hands that have equity as a call and hate being shoved on (like suited broadways KJs QJs KQs QTs and A8s-ATs AJo T9s type hands that dont want to be like 3b and bluffed)? or do you think since he 3b a 35bb stack, that they will call a lot and therefore a more linear range makes sense? At what blind amount do you only 3b more polarized? Like if opener had 20bb, we wudnt want to 3b/call QJs and 3b/folding it seems like a waste, therefore i think having a calling range that includes QJs i think makes sense.
I might be misinpretting what you mean by linear/polar. I think of polarized as having top X% as 3b and then calling the next best % and then using the top of my folding range as 3b. I think of linear as just top x% but expanded to be wider value range. So not sure what you mean when you say hes linear but has 'enough bluffs.'
at 45min, you say u bluff raise j8 and kt kj type hands with no diamond on Q99dd. Do you follow thru and bluff shove these on turns a lot? dont u think a hand like kt kj or j8 with diamond is better candidate to do this so we can shove diamond turns as bluff? i know those hands more profitable calls as they are stronger but it seems that u will jamming turn with little equity on diamond and blank turns or giving up too much if you use this strategy. It seems that u expect his calling range to the c/r to be all hands that will not fold to turn shove if u choose this strat
I notice on dry boards like 773 and 774 u cbet half pot with range. dont u think its better to bet 1/3rd pot? thats the standard i see cash game players using and i generaly use

1. I think Shaun will have a flatting range, and I agree with your strat of 3betting top x%, flatting the next best hands and 3betting the worst playable hands i.e. t9s etc. His 3betting range isn't completely polarized or linear here, but I think given the situation he's likely to 3bet KQ, AJo, ATo etc as opposed to flatting them.

2. Given that stacks are relatively small, I would rather my bluffs have less equity if we were deeper and there was more room to play I'd want to c/r with hands that have more equity and play ability on a variety of turns. However on this texture at this stack depth I think the correct start is to x/r with 9x, draws that are strong enough to x/r call and my weakest draws, if i had a like Kdtx or KdJx x/r flding has to be quite a bit worse than x/c at this stack depth, I also block KQ and QJ which is mildly relevant because it makes my hand a more profitable bluff on many run outs.

3. I think 1/3 pot is fine as well, on boards where I don't have much 7x in my range its probably slightly better, I have a hard time knowing which one is better TBH, the slightly bigger bet size with range should fold out a few more floats such as two overs and weaker ace highs so I'm alright with it, on an AKK board I def prefer a smaller size because so much more of his range is auto folding.

At 15 mins " the best way to avoid being all in....is to not be all in" was that Confucius? Only joking I enjoy this format and choice of games more psko/ sats/Omaha/random format tournaments please. Got a lot out of this video. Thanks for making it.

At 19m, with J10, when you say you prefer checking the river, it is with our entire value range?
