Hey Luke, 10/10 content as usual.

I have a question about the KTo on J85s (table 1) at 25:38.

I coincidentally ran a SIM on that board recently giving PIO 3 sizes (b27, b66, b100) trying to figure out which sizing PIO prefers here and it seems to like the small bet the least (using it only 5% of the time). It led me to believe I should go with either a b66/check or b100/check approach.

Now you mentioned during the hand that this is not a rangebet, but you go with a small cbet at a high frequency. Curious if this is just a small oversight (or has simply to do with your ranges) or there is another merit here in favor for small bets that I am missing.

Thx

wanted to ask something incredibly similar, so ty both^^

Superb video! (as usual)

Really appreciate that you take your time exploring some interesting hands more in depth when they come up, like the J7dd hand at 1:07:03.
I could take a lot away from that one alone: I should adopt an overbet/x only strategy OTT here, just like you do, instead of a b75 and I also bet too often. Like many people I am massively overbluffing OTR/choosing the wrong combos.

Sent you a pm.

I def appreciate these types of videos Ben, as this one cleared up some uncertainity about the b33 rangebet.
Would also be interested in a second part covering 3bet pots.
Perhaps you could flick in 3 or 4 different boards for comparison.

Appreciate your reply, Clanty. That was a decent answer.
Yeah, I might be a little impatient here because I foresee at least 200 hours of strict PIO grind to be able to accurately and efficiently use blockers in-game on the one hand but even just theoretically, having all the time in the world.
I might simply be afraid of having reached my intellectual ceiling here haha.
I was sure that there is going to be no shortcut, (poker would be kind of dull if there was) what I am looking for rather is practicality I would say.
Your video helped tremendously though, and as a sidenote wanted to say that it was easily worth my RIO subscription.
Have been railing your 1k games a bit lately to see what you're up to^^
Gl at the tables.

Fwiw I think your lack of confidence is irrational as you are (objectively) v good at poker and you'd def win comfortably at 200z. Just keep at it Steve.

Hey Clanty, There actually is one thing I'd really like to ask you (forgive me if it's a bit too general). As you also play 6-max and the concepts you discussed of course apply there too, I am wondering whether you found yourself in common scenarios playing 6-max (example: a river bluff opportunity after defending the bb vs a strong 15% utg open when flop/turn goes x/x) where the heuristics that you were using here (putting a lot of weight on blockers etc.) perhaps apply to a drastically different/perhaps comparably negligible increase in EV? And simply paying attention to your frequencies is something that should carry more weight for our decision?

Before I go full berserk on studying PIO and try to figure out which blockers are the best to have/not to have I'd imagine there is a drastic shift when the ranges in play include only 15%-20% of hands compared to HU.
(Blocking Ax for example is huge in HU but in 6-max I'd imagine the blocker effect to be often but of course not always comparibly less significant)
Or to put the question more concretely: Do you have any advice what to pay attention to in my own studies? Any heuristics that converge even better/significantly worse when ranges are much more condensed?

Excellent video Clanty! Took me >3 hours to finish it and I'm still struggling to wrap my hand around the many concepts you discussed but I at least know what to pay (much more) attention to in my own sims and in-game going forward (and I def underappreciated the range explorer.)
One aspect of your format I really enjoyed was that you asked yourself questions, repeatedly make guesses about solver outputs, (inevitably) make some mistakes and learn along the way. This made the video way more engaging and easier to not lose attention. The low freq. use of power point helped as well, as I find it way easier to listen to someone who's speaking freely/using his own words etc.
It would be cool to see this applied to 6-max hand examples as well.
Looking forward to your videos on RIO.

I fear this video will be grossly underappreciated. Excellent commentary Mr. Krab.

Hey Steve, A worthwile vid once again. We played a bunch at 100z and I was wondering why you're not moving on to 200z already. Think you're far and away the least clickery reg in the pool. Do you think you have some unusually high risk-aversion or are you just taking it easy wrt poker, focusing on theory/RIO and other "real life" ventures? Asking because I could kind of relate to that. As for suggestions, I'd personally really like to see a vid where you filter for spots where you made adjustments/deviatied consciously from solver because you saw the pool react poorly. For example: Turn probes bb vs btn where population is often exploitable (checking back too much air as well as A highs etc.) or river scenarios just like the AhQh hand at 26:00 where it seems I am just paying people off and being very charitable. Anyways Gl at 200. Hopefully see you there within a couple of months.

Some food for thought in this! Great vid!

Hey Saulo,

Could get a lot out of this and would love to see more db analysis on RIO in general. I presume you will go into specific spots that outline hero's low river aggression and other leaks in the second part, which was the only thing I missed here. examples. If you plan on doing more of these feel free to go into more "basic" stats like fold to cbet/fold to 3bet etc. as well (Although I presume a solid 200z player doesn't have glaring leaks here).

Hopefully you won't be too annoyed by me asking, but if you were to see someone with stats of:
WWSF 47,5
WTSD 26,5
WSD 55,5

That's glaringly obvious that I'm waaay too nitty post-flop right? Or in other words, indicates that I am not bluffing enough and folding too much on the river as well as suggesting that I am missing thin value bets etc.?

Have to agree.
