Hey Sam, I enjoyed the video!

At 35:40 you flat an UTG+1 open (well, techically UTG, but there are only 8 players at the table) with ATo. To me this seems too loose and I can't see it being profitable unless the OR is opening a lot of hands. Do you expect this call to be profitable against a reg with a standardish opening range?

I also question if our hand is strong enough to get in on the flop. It is fair to assume that the OR is not going to fire this flop without decent equity against two players. I could see him betting KQ some of the time that you fold out by raising, but not a lot of other hands. I just think we shouldn't be looking to raise/get in here, when his range for shoving likely is JQ, flushdraws with overcards, sets, straights and overpairs, which we don't do that well against. Do you read into his small sizing on flop and make assumptions of his range based on that?

I would like to see you make a SB limping video, where you pick HHs with different stacksizes. I feel the least comfortable limping when we are 30 BBs+ deep, so that is what I would find the most useful. Keep up the good work!

Minimum defense frequency

We want him to fold hands when we make that raise, it is a bluff. Some of his strongest hands that he will continue with are QQ, KK, AQ and AK. When we have KQ we block a K and a Q, which means there are fewer combinations of QQ, KK AQ and AK that our opponent can have. Because of this our opponent will have fewer combinations of his strongest hands, and will have a slightly weaker range, than if we had not blocked K and Q. Since his range is weaker it is a good spot to be bluffing.

I hope that makes sense to you :)

Okey, thanks guys. If there was a flush draw on the flop would that make us shove our continuing range? I'm thinking since we then would have more draws that is awkward to play c/call with. Or do we want to have both a c/call range and a c/raise range in that case?

That makes sense. I guess I am just afraid that he will put a lot preassure on me on future street when he has worse. Like you say though mid pps are likely to just check it down and if I really believe he is bluffing a lot I guess c/calling is better than just shoving flop. By shoving flop we let him have an easy descision where he will call with probably all better hands and likely fold almost all worse, right?

Alright, thanks. I thought it might be too nitty to fold a pair first in 6-handed, but I guess at this stackdepth they are bad, since they dont have any relevant blockers, and we can not win that many BBs even when we hit a set. Do you mind sharing which hands you think we should open at this stack depth, assuming the other players are decent regs? :)

I would open something like any pair, ATo+, ATs+, 78s+, KJo+ KTs+, and A5s. My opponents cant really know how wide I am opening here, since we have not played that many hands. I suppose this has to do with how big part of our range we can fold?

Okey, I
understand. Then how about a video where you look at certain boards and runouts
where people in general are over and underbluffing (like double FD boards, and
dry ace high boards) and how to correctly approach those boards being the
aggressor and maybe also how to exploit someone who is over or undebluffing?

Nice video, I really like it when you break down ranges in terms of value and bluffing combinations. Perhaps you could do a video about constructing balanced 3bet/5bet ranges from different positions?

Nice video, as always :) At 09:45 you checked back 77 on a 6T6 board. What is your main reasoning behind that? I get that you dont want to get raised, but that wont happen often at all. I guess checking back will lead to him trying to bluff some on further streets, but do you really think those pros outweigh the cons of him getting a free card with what often will be two overs to your pair? I would be much more inclined to check back higher pairs in that spot.
