Love the format! Keep them coming!

He opened the CO 5x which means he's probably pretty bad and there are a ton of hands he could be doing this with. Folding would be terrible. Also definitely jam turn as others have said.

Always love your live play video's Henry. I think you went into a bit too much detail on this one, listing too many overcard combo's but still enjoyed it a lot

I am intrigued by the life of Ah4h, please include photo's

40:00 where villain >2x overbets the turn and we have 2nd pair + FD then we hit our flush on then river.

I have it in my head that villain will fold a lot of his 2 pair if we go big. Recs are always scared of flushes and we must look very strong to him, bombing the river after calling his big overbet. I think his range is quite elastic and a lot of 2 pair will fold if we pot it.

I may be completely wrong and will be grateful if you can help correct my thought process if you strongly disagree with it.

Thanks for another great vid

I think a video about your thoughts on cbetting multiway would be really interesting. A lot less is known about it because it can't be solved like single way spots so I think a lot of people are quite confused about what to do (myself included)

I'd also be interested in a video about what you've learned about block betting at equilibrium. All the different spots the solver uses the block bets, why you think it does it and how it avoids being exploited.

I think you have to open jam the QJs in the $5 splashed pot. With the money in the pot It's almost equivalent to playing $2.5/$5 which makes it equivalent to a 4bb jam! The fact that there are essentially no blinds shouldn't make much difference. If you open a size you can fold to you will get jammed on too much and should probably be calling QJs to the jam anyway.

Great video man

Do you have any tips for making pseudo GTO heuristics for turns and rivers? It seems a lot more tricky to do than flops, with all the extra board possibilities. This video has a ton of likes, maybe you could expand on it by explaining how you break down studying turns.

1st hand, when you changed the runout to Qd7d2h9c8h, PIO chooses to always bluff with A3-A6dd, and bluff KJ/KT less often. Why is this? It seems to me that KJ/KT have much better blockers, blocking KQ/QJ/QT/JT

Hi, thanks for the great videos Peter

You seem to open SB way nittier than I do. I've been opening 3x Q7o, 97o, J2s,T5s,73s I thought this was standard but you said opening Q8o 2.7x was close. Do you think I will be getting crushed by decent opponents by opening so wide? What kind of % opening range do you think we should have from the small blind?

I have noticed you size up quite big when 3betting IP. I have been under the impression that there is no need to size up when deep, IP. I thought the reason we size up when OOP is the EV of the IP player goes up when deep, so we have to bet bigger or he can profitably call with a ton of hands. When we are IP our deep stacks should cause our EV to rise, so there is no reason the caller will be able to call more hands and no reason to size up. Is there a hole in my logic?

King seems like a pretty bad card to bluff to me. It reduces his Kx combos but he is much more likely to call with 10x

You are correct. He Calculated it with the min raise being one BB instead of two BB's.

You have to rerun the strategy with, force OOP flop bet, to compare the EV's. You can't just compare the EV's of betting/checking in the original strategy because villain will adjust to your 100% bet strategy, lowering the EV.

I'm looking for a program that has a quiz built into it. Inputting the flops myself would be time consuming.

The equity of your range plays a large part in determining how you can play your entire range. Like if our range has a big enough equity advantage we can bet our entire range. If we have a big equity disadvantage we should probably check a lot.

I saw that thread. There's only one guy who is seriously complaining and he had been asking for custom solutions so i'm not completely writing them off. Although it is definitely a concern.

It is a lot of money but it would be very nice to have ranges that I can learn, and study with that I know are going to hold up forever. Rather than changing my mind about ranges every few months. I already have PIO, so could use the ranges in all those calculations and not have to worry about them becoming outdated.

Thanks for that snowie ranges document. It looks pretty awesome. Are all the ranges in the document taken from snowie?

Thanks for the great videos man, can you please tell me where I can download some of those dices's you use as an RNG?

Also, I am reading your book, some of your recommended calling ranges seem quite nitty, especially in the BB. Is this because everyone was nittier when you wrote it, or because the book is aimed at beginner/intermediate players so you wanted to create a very solid approach? Would you expand the ranges a lot if you wrote it today?

At 42:50 Ben works out the rake as 1/10 of the pot after calling a 3bet. The rake is 5% before reaching the $0.75 cap. (pot pre rake 10.5- 0.525=9.975, actual pot $9.98) Which is exactly the same pre cap as 5/5.

I think Ben's played incorrectly in this video because he massively overestimated the amount of rake he was playing. Would really appreciate some clarification on this. Optimal play is obviously going to change wildly after a 50% rake decrease.

Will the EV loss, for cbetting 100% OOP in 3bet pots, be a lot higher with 100bb stacks? I imagine the larger SPR would have quite a big effect considering we are also OOP.

it obviously depends on future cards and bet sizing but generally check call, check call, check fold or check check, bet,bet

pre if you 4bet I think you should fold to a 5bet

Your flop range is pretty much face up and obviously very strong. So button is probably cbet bluffing close to never. Which makes buttons cbet range very strong and a flop raise terrible

Turn lead is also terrible. You're basically never getting called by worse and there isn't much to protect against

River I think is a check fold. Again I think worse is calling very rarely. And i don't think either villain will value bet worse or bluff the river very often

I don't think he has pocket pairs or other random stuff very often. Not when he over bet jams. It's possible he has 88 and goes "i have an over pair but i'm scared"and jams but i don't think it happens very often

I think you're right

It's hard to fold a straight on the flop vs a fish though
