Hello, Thank you very much for your kind message ^^

1/ The key point to build a 4bet range deep it´s to start counting value combos from the last hand you feel comfortable going all in with. For example, UTG vs MP 250bbs you dont want to go allin with AK - QQ so we can move those hands to our call3bet range. KK is borderline but it is the same as well, if you think you will never get call by hands like QQ or AK then you must move KK to the call3bet range. After these considerations we will have only AA to go all in UTG vs MP Deep, we only need to balance our 6 combos with some bluffs and our total 4bet range will be way smaller than our frequency with lower stacks or playing other positions.

2/ It depends, when you are playing tight range vs tight range you usually prefer to use hands like 76s or 65s because they have more equity to beat overpairs. Also we need to be careful about not bluffing to much otherwise we will lose our iniatiative advantage.

1. So why not adding AA into call 3b range and don't have 4b range at all let's say 250 bb UTG vs MP? For better balance? Or do you wanna still have 4b bluffs, so u have to 4b AA? Great first vid, welcome, man!

Justis: That´s a good question.
I studied those situations and it´s better to build a 4bet range only with AA + some randomized bluffs because you earn a lot more money by doing 4bets with AA compare to call3bets. You can call in situations where you dont need to make the pot bigger preflop in order to get all the money.

Thank you Phil! I appreciate a lot your compliment. I will work hard to make the best content I can for Rio ^^

Thanks, but dont pay too much attention otherwise I will feel uncomfortable battling with you haha

Thanks ^^ (I think you can ask me in spanish if you want)

Usually when you are playing a call4bet pot you are playing against a very strong range, as a 3betor you probably will do 5bet with some strong hands and your call4bet range will have mostly middle overpairs AQs AK etc, so when the 4betor goes all in postflop you are in a difficult situation everytime with a bluffcatcher. Sets are a small % of your range but they will be extremely helpful to protect your game on the river, that´s why the raise on the flop doesn´t makes sense, you dont need to have a raisecbet strategy on that board. Still people will raise but they usually are unbalance with a range composed by combodraws or flushdraws.

Hi ^^

I prefer to check most of the turns and create a bluffing range on the river because of that, you dont have many hands you can use as a bluff besides flushdraws, in today´s Poker metagame good players will easily fold on the turn their weak overpairs because they know that you dont have enough bluffs, that´s why I would delay the All in to the river. In other boards you can go All in with AK as a bluff blocking slowplays( AA, KK).

Hello Barracuda :)

1/ I studied these situations mostly using Pio preflop solver because snowie has limited sizings and sometimes they dont match the sizings people do. Also Snowie will move AK and QQ to call3bet if you do an OR and MP 3BET using the pot button (250bs both players) It follows the same logic but the information is more difficult to understand in order to create an strategy, if your 3bet sizings are small playing very deep Snowie will think your range is not polarize and then the best strategy it´s wider 4bet ranges.

2/ It´s a very bad spot with KK definetely, I didn´t check the board with Pio, I dont think people will fold KK easily on the turn but they might do it on the river if they are good players. The reason of a large bet on the flop its to get more money, you get similar calling ranges and folds by doing both sizings but if you bet 1k you will earn more money and you will have easier decisions on the turn and river as well.

Thanks for your comments Elías!

I think that bluff can work pretty well overall especially in low stakes against tight players, in higher stakes I would say people wont let you exploit their capped ranges so easily

Gracias :) I hope you enjoy my next videos!

The graphs I showed in this video are 85% pokerstars and probably 65% Zoom500.
I didnt play much zoom500 this year. So I dont have the winrates unless I request hand histories and I wont do it now, I am busy as fuck xD (they were between 3 bigblinds to 4 bigblinds during 2014 2015 and 2016)

Kind Regards.

It´s a very wide question :P

I´ve been studying a lot last two years, early in 2016 the position I worked the most was Game Ip as pfr, that one was huge step up because I wasn´t playing it very well. It might be the most important sequence to study.

There isn´t an answer for your last question, each person must live the experience and overcome their problems in order to become good at poker and those problems might be unique. It´s hard and tough many times.

I wouldn´t expect highstakes players raising on the flop with Sets because they would have a lot of issues with all the other hands playing call. You would get me there but maybe I would push you to the limit in other situations and you would miss those sets protecting your range.

The board isn´t totally static but you dont need to raise in order to get all the value with your sets, that´s the bottom line of "when to do raise". If we are playing 800bbs deep, yes, the sets are Raise because we need to raise in order to get all the money.

I think he realised that his line didn´t makes sense and I would call, that´s why he didn´t go allin, but I agree, going allin on the turn seems probably better.

But should he really will 3bet-calls with other things than AKs TT-KK AQs AJs ?
It doesn't seem very easy to put that range under pressure where your main bluff is gonna be AK, and will block mostly the weak part of his range.

I think he might have some Q´xs and Jx´s or KK more often than sets on the river. On this hand he actually had T9s, anyway it is super difficult to estimate how wide or not is his range playing super deep. I would need about 55% fold river in order to make money after my potbet Cbet. I think it might be ok.

Seems very weird to me because if you expect to make him fold everything exept QQ JJ , and even if he calls some Qxs Jxs. It's very hards to get value with AA.

Did you try to PIO this hand ? I don't have it unfortunately.
I would say that he checks full range on this flop.

Seems also weird to have a lot of Qxs Jxs in those position. (especially when you hold AK)

Thanks for the answer.
