We're on a live stream so it could make sense to not put all the value on one size and all the bluff in another.
I would say that against most players we're rarely against a flush or a straight, we could be sometimes but it's rare.
This factor brings our size up (even shove against some players), the problem with sizing up is that you don't get called enough.
So live you can bet 2x pot with all the bluff and b80 with all the value.
The same player that it's able to detect this distinction it's capable of checking nut flush oop on the river so this trick doesn't work on him from the start.
My question is:
If the other guy is capped and he's responding wrongfully against different sizes.
What's the problem with this trick?
What am I missing?

Don often has hands like QJ,QT and pp.
Does this statement mean that he doesn't flat enough pre hands like K4s,K5s,J6s?
I am asking this supposing that Don plays this spot full check flop full check turn.
I am not saying that the raise isn't the best choice even if he's flatting as wide as he should, I am saying that if he's overly condensed it's +1 for the raise option for sure.

Connecting myself to the new video on geometric size when we're not going into deep gto nodes.
The hand in minute 2:11 wouldn't it be optimal to xr 3e? I doubt that most players would 3b close to enough times this spot + we have a stackable hand.
I don't play hu so i could be wrong on my read

The concept of having 2e as a standard size when you know you are not gonna go in a deep gto node where you 4b the flop is underrated in 2024.
I like it very much

Thanks for the answer Luke Johnson then it's def a fold, thanks for the clarity of the explanation

Minute 7:00 (K8hh hand)
In my opinion against a rec, I would probably call any bluffcatcher because he could do some random stuff and rec usually don't give up enough on this type of runout.
I wouldn't stress too much about blockers
Can you elaborate more on how you play against rec?
P.S. green label means rec right?

isn't this the perfect spot to either 3b or fold?
-The price is high
-You're gonna play OOP
-BB is much more likely to over iso or Iso at the right frequency
I would personally never call here with any part of my range, just 3b or fold
How are you gonna build your 3betting range in this spot?

Not the video that we deserved but surely the video we needed

4:39 given the fact that historically players are overcalling and under raising on the flop, isn't 86ss just a mandatory bet on the turn?
he's gonna always fold low Ax and given the fact that he under raise the flop he probably has too many weak hands, such a 53s/5s5x/54s

Even if I am a cash game player I found this video very useful, thanks!

Great Video

wouldn't that be another reason to raise?
If he's a rec he's gonna have some Ax off but he's not gonna 3b bluff you enough, if he's a pro he's not gonna have Ax off theoretically

A video on the overlimp is needed imo, great idea!

which offsuit Ace do you think he can have?
I think most people wouldn't call offsuit Ace from the sb

Oh, thanks!

Can you share the excel sheet? I am doing the same training as you to get better and the excel file would be useful

Great Video!

Which Euristics do you use to understand when to use 70% and when to use 133%?
This is the most challenging thing for me probing the turn.
I understood that in most cases you can have the creative say and do whatever but there are some cases where this doesn't work, I would like to explain how you differentiate these 2 cases

Actually a really great video, thanks!

The last hand when you have 65dd.
In those situations if I am IP on the river with clear bluff or even a hand with a bit of sd value I tend to do 3x pot on the river, that's because I never ever get called and if someone picks up on that I am more than happy to go on a leveling war with them.
Most people in that line never have a flush or a set,some people very rarely have 2p.
So if I do 3x pot I get almost 100% folds.
Do you ever do this kind of exploit?
Do you avoid big exploits on stream?The last hand when you have 65dd.

You are saying that Allan is playing way too loose and you can't 3b polar or too much because you could face some 4bets.
Can we 3b KTs,QTs,99,KQo?
OR is incentivized to play the pot multiway with Allan so he may be under4betting compared to what he should exploitatively against your range specifically.
Adding those hands it's going to 100% make you lose EV on the node where you face a 4b but it's going to increase the ev when you don't.
I don't know how much the fact that you are much better post-flop than him can impact your preflop range.
So my question is:
where are the boundaries?
How much can we 3b against a really bad opponent?
Do we care if we lose some EV against the reg if we overcompensate against the fish?
Does overcompensation of this type even exist on this new equilibrium 3way with a fish in the pot against 2 regs?

What if we are SBvsLJ in a 3bet pot 200x,
Flop: Kh7c2s B33,c
Turn: Qh
We don't have an offsuit combo that doesn't have any value that blocks hearts.
We can't use just fd and sd because in some runouts we don't have any bluff.
Do we just bet sd,fd,midpair, and bottom pair as a bluff?
Very Very nice video, part 2 needed. one of your best formats
