assuming players are equal in skill and playing "reasonably competent" - if everyone has 100bb+ and one player has 10bb, no ante, what would you assume the 10bb stacks evbb/100 to be, assume no rake? in plo, and in nl? thanks merry christmas :D

thoughts 43:30 folding 97 in zaz shoes
also defending 43o to 2.5x?

but unless you're saying you want to continue other overpairs just without AcX you're still allowing him a super profitable bluff line with any QTs type hand or suited connector which picked up equity on the turn. Aa is not that strong on this board and is obviously a bluff catcher but you still won't have too many better hands, even if 76s would be better to continue with if you have it as you said. and again main point wasn't that you shouldn't fold, just that the reasoning for it shouldn't be you think he won't bluff, "especially in a 5k" etc as I think this villain is capable (not to say he is over bluffing) even at a5k etc. would be more reasonable against someone who doesn't normally play high stakes or something.

also depending how many bluffs he can have "only" 60-70 vs the bluffs is substantial when factoring in he doesn't have that much value combos

really surprised you use logic against old time gin like 'i dont think he will bluff here that often, especially in a 5k, deep etc".. would imagine he is more than capable of bluffing there (obviously with equity. this deep its tougher for you cause you mostly have overpairs there and rarely a set.. especially if you fold aces you have really few continues, maybe a few nut flush draws.. not saying its necessarily a slam dunk call on turn

i agree with sets being possible to be valuebet for sure h1 (wrongly or rightly)

Any other videos will be made for other opponents in the 10k? Apology if mentioned already. Ty for video

Near the end, J5 trips kicks doesn't play cause AK55 is on board

this is a great video, i don't play plo at all and found it interesting. most of these concepts apply pretty strongly to holdem and a lot of holdem players with less strong fundamentals would probably benefit

will you only make the videos for the isildur match?

what is downside to flatting QQ when some players can occasionally make out of line jams thinking they have fold equity (they should with a hand like 88 that i think is a clear flat) to try isolate with really good odds, ak always jams anyway and aq often too

cant find it sorry but you were in the SB, btn made it $15

don't think you can fold KTs, opener looked like a weaker player as did big blind in the SB
also don't think you should fold ATo to a BTN 3x as BTN looked like a weaker player who had loose/agro stats and even against a solid reg this seems a little tight even if ATo doesn't play super amazing oop etc

Yes why not consider check raise all in with Nut flushes + blockers

You say you want to play a tighter range because it's Zoom, can't you just play more tables to get similar volume in for the same reasons? How much of an edge in terms of BB/100 do you think there is in difference for a solid 3x range vs say 2x? Keeping in mind at mid stakes a lot of players are likely over folding their BB to a minraise, 3x prob also helps with rake issues etc.

Btw K2s it seems is potentially profitable if the BTN is either particularly weak or bad, and/or the BB is. Fwiw in a pretty 'tough' 25K Kanu flatted SB with K6s vs good MTT player (maybe not great deep-stacked post-flop relative to Kanu obviously) vs I think 2.5x from CO, BB wasn't weak either iirc.

This is probably just nit picking but I think there are actually a lot of ICM situations (extreme example being satellites) where this is ranging from possibly to definitely incorrect, but I'm pretty sure you know this

"I am more likely to flat wider in the BB as stacks get shallower, but I would not fold K2s to a minraise from the BU in any NLHE game ever."

Why do you say you don't want to CR 87s (open ender) when you have T9dd, Do you think it plays really well as a flatting hand on the flop instead when it seems the merits of it are basically the same with this hand or other semi-junk backdoor equity bluffs just with higher equity.
