noob probably thought he had a straight

OMG!!! your BACK!!!

Thanks for coming back coach!! I am excited for the live play content !!! By the way, are you on discord

can you do this trainer for 3 way scenarios?

good year !!
like the tire.
keep rolling baby

The main thing I got from the Analysis section is that bigger raise sizes are really good from an exploitative sense and the smaller sizes can be used to induce. This section made me reflect on how I have been skewing towards trying to bet using balanced sizes as a default vs most ppl when in reality I should be trying to use exploitative sizes unless I have reason to believe someone is a good player.
The board texture filter on type 1 (A,K high dry) boards was very interesting to see the hands being raised.

very yummy research Tariq Haji

About that AJ hand, I saw a video here on RIO saying the preflop 3b size that generates the most fold eq is 4.5x. I think it was from the small blind also...the main point of the 3b seemed to get folds instead of iso. when I saw his stats I was thinking bet 78-80.

I'm not sure who it was I think Julian Kopansky or Qing Yang but I know it was from here.

ohhhh ok,Thanks Alot!!

When I look at this, what stands out to me is that A3 A5 don't bet at all and A2 A4 A6 bet quite a bit comparatively. the other A's run into domination and sets at that point. but the wheel A's that are 2 pair are less dominated and block sets bet more.

Well, RunItTw1ce I have not seen the video but it seems like it describes a Preflop caller that takes a "xr,b,x" line whereas I'm talking about a preflop raiser that takes a "b, x, xr" line where the xr occurs specifically on a brick.
To your point, I think the river card matters on that board..it could put 4 to a straight out there or make a boat possible or brick or flush. Sometimes that river check could be to induce or give up. It's tough to tell w/o the river card, suits, and playstyle of the MP
Also, which Luke, - Greenwood or Johnson

Ts9s hand:
The turn check had me thinking "well you just capped your range so a 500nl player with a big stack and regy stats knows you have small queen or jj"... I didn't even consider the jam on the river so this reminded me to ALWAYS thoroughly go through my options.

also reminds me of another video of Tariq Haji where he discusses that when a PFR cbets, checks turn, then xr river on a brick it is a bluff often enough to pay attention to

also @43:30 i gave him A8s and 99 as raises for protection..do you think a reg just calls these?

I would love to see this.

22:09 I think the block bet sizing may have given you away.
The A is good for your range, alot of your flop bluffs should have got there and with the A you'd bet alot bigger on the double fd board... and turn was a down bet
but i still like the fold vs river lead especially if you had bet turn bigger.

my suggestion would be 2 tables of 100 zoom on acr or stars since you can get the action of fast paced and the reads of the stats

yeah i like the live tables better...more in depth and i can observe how you use player type information in your decisions

@32:17

Yeah, Thats What I Thought
LIKE A BOSS !!!

@4:17 only thing i can think of is that your bet sizing looks like your turned a draw instead of made one and he is spaz shoving JJ-AA...or he 3 bet 77 or A7s.....he is polar to AXd or JJ+...i was thinking like bet $23 and shove river safe cards

good material as usual

@9:20 I think that board lends itself to a larger sizing..my initial though was like over 2/3 pot...maybe pot is optimal with the amount of draws..my first thought was the 8 needs protection

a big chunk of his Kx raises pre..Qx and Jx bet flop and even Kx draws might bet... leaves him with a flush or bluff..i think he turned his 4 into a bluff

the river bluff research is really insightful. I recently lost one buy in with this exact situation vs a known LAG...ugghhhhh

around 11:00 the As8d hand: imo - the flop bet size doesnt give the impression of a fd. the range bet on flop looks more like pairs or air. idk if players at this stake are capable of folding straights they got on the river. then the A and Q of diamonds actually make it harder for you to have a flush in their eyes if they are better players.....i think sets of jjj and 999 bet more...maybe half - 2/3 pot on flop...i like the turn call as 2p on the turn board does not really want to get in but is too strong to fold

Hi Tariq Haji
on the first AK hand what do you think about using a xbb line..
my thinking is only 2 streets of value
not vulnerable
not getting called by worse much
protect your KK, QQ that might want to check flop

lol

@22:40 interesting how one coach thinks ATo from big blind in a Blind vs blind situation is a 3b often vs call often...my take is it depends on how far ahead ATo is vs the sb open...if ATo is far ahead i like the call but if it is not that far ahead i like it as a 3b bluff assuming we think we have fold eq

Hi Tariq Haji
at 28:57 what do think about betting 66%-80% pot on turn to charge both flush draws, broadway and wheel gutshots that developed as well as protection vs river bluffs?

@44:28 on that type of board i dont see it checking around twice multiway if they have anything worth protecting...i like turning 77 into a bluff there to get protection and prevent river bluffs and "buy" a showdown

@27:49 i was in a similar situation recently...he was going for protection

ohhh k
so im guessing the formation refers to how wide the ranges look in something like flopzilla
wide vs tight or polar vs linear and everything in between

thanks !!

hi Henry

In various videos I've heard you and other pros say they are not going to do something because "the formation this" or "the formation that."

what is "the formation" and how does it affect decision making in nlhe?

thanks

i noticed that you checked back when you had a strong hand a few times...sometimes players check back vs me and show up with the goods when i bet...one suggestion for vid 3 may be...how to know when you should respect the check back or see it as weak and double barrel.

@32:15 i read a splitsuit article discussing that paired boards are a bit stickier than normal so you should expect to have to fire at least 2 barrels on them. i do understand the exploitative check back though.
