Richard, thanks for making such amazing videos :)

Is it possible for you to provide the source you used to learn all the syntax for Monker? I know it is supposed to be the same syntax as PPT uses but for some reason some of them don't work with Monker. I was wondering whether you perhaps have a full list of working syntax and its explanation that you could copy paste here?

How about checking back the flop? Our runouts are not great and it's nice to be able to rep boats on the turn or river pairing cards. You also block QQ, which makes it less likely for him to have a straight draw. On the other hand, we can get value from KT and other Kx with a straight draw.

Basically, I don't wanna b/f a set but rather realize my equity.

Very good point, I actually think its one of my major leaks, to try to rather sort of "get it in and hope" to simply avoid spots where I clearly have no clue what to do. Of course, that's simply human being :)

Would you recommend working with Monker to figure out what to do with mediocre holdings in 3bet pot or would that be too GTO based and not useful for PLO 200 population?

The problem I have lately is that if I flat AKKx, like I normally do, the population simply cbets basically any board texture for 3/4 pot and they don't really fold vs a jam. Because of that, it seems like my AKK range is still ahead of theirs even on J56 flops yet I don't feel confident getting it in or calling a flop bet with nothing but two backdoor draws.

That's why I thought it might be better to 4bet pre to avoid such spots and push the equity I have instead of folding equity on many flops? Is my assumption correct, that protecting my range at PLO 200 is not as much of a big deal?

I am playing 200 on Party and people squeeze QQ43ds, most ds KK and even T876ds. I have even seen a reg 4bet Ak85ss from UTG vs my 3bet from the blinds. Yesterday a guy, cold 4bet AQ88ds.

So if that happens, why wouldn't you want to 4bet AKK? Isn't AKK basically the same hand as AAk, if you are up against such a range as described above? Shouldn't we then probably even 4bet AQQJ, AQJJ and AJJT?

Interested, PM you already myself:

Let's assume your opponents never fold vs a 4bet, would you still consider not 4betting some AA pre? What I mean is, the guys in my games are 3betting all sort of ds trash, such as J856ds, KQ45ds, etc. They even call 4bets with AQQ4ss.

However, all those trashy hands flop equity on many flops. So when holding AA24ss, or even AA23r, I wonder whether 4betting makes any sense or not as we are pushing roughly 60% equity on average. However, on the flop, I usually end up not pushing any equity at all but am instead often times behind or flipping.

So would you ever consider not 4betting bad AA vs maniacs 100bb deep and if you would anyway, at which stack depth would you just flat?
