Lmfao the notes on Dekkers

"in the blinds there was a pretty big fi... eh, fun player", haha.

Nice video. Very refreshing (and relevant) with some live content.

Great content. A couple of questions,

1. At ~37.00 you cold 4b AQo to $110, so more than 3x the size of the BTN 3bet. Any specific reason behind this? Most others seem to go for a ~2.5x sizing for cold 4bets (or I guess just 4bets in general these days), and sizing up a little more depending on stack depth (sizing up more the deeper they are, obviously).

2. This is a pretty big question, so I guess I'm just asking for some general thoughts. You mentioned that you've been playing tons of live poker lately, and I'd be very interested in hearing what sorts of adjustments you make when playing live. Specifically I'm interested in a few specific themes,

*c-betting - I'm guessing the 1/3rd pot cbetting strat isn't a thing live, right? As you mentioned in this video /w A3o, I imagine most live players will just misinterpret that sizing in a bunch of ways. Personally, I employ more of a 50% cbetting strategy in spots where I'd generally c-bet 1/3rd online. Thoughts?

*PF-style - in Sauce's latest video he addresses the issue with 'traditional'/GTO-style play in high-rake environments, and as an adjustment he basically just 3bets as much as possible preflop, rarely cold calls, and opens to 3x on the BTN etc. - what are your thoughts on this (since live environments are always gonna be high-rake environments)? Also, as a side note, how do you adjust to people opening to 4-8x as a standard?

Would very much appreciate some sort of answer. Thanks. :)

Great vid! Always enjoy your content/commentary. One question though; in a bunch of spots you end up bluffing bricked flush draws when checked to OTR (pretty much 100% of the time in this video), and each time you got snapped off. Don't you think you may be overbluffing in these situations? Can't regs profit massively vs you by always checking to you OOP on these sorts of board runouts?

You advocate going for x/raises in a bunch of different spots; either spots where you've 3b pf and you'll generate more FE by going for a x/r than a cbet, or just sometimes IP with strong draws where the boards basically simply favor your range.

My question is how you adjust your play/strategy when playing deep. Say if you're 200bb+ eff., or if you're playing live. Would you still x/r this aggressively or would you choose more passive lines - or maybe postpone the x/raising until later streets (so for instance maybe x/c a flop after having 3b pf rather than x/r it, and then x/r the turn instead)?

Regarding something you said about most people's x/r ranges on a board like K96sscJc (or something close to that) -- was that they generally wouldn't/shouldn't be going for a x/r even with hands like ATcc, but rather just call ~pot-sized bets.

If this is true, are you saying that it's preferable to play without a x/r range altogether on a board like that? Because otherwise surely a hand like ATcc would fit nicely into a x/r range there since we're gonna need some bluffs.

Hi,

First off, really good video. I like the way you play and I find myself agreeing with you most of the time.

I do, however, have one question. You talk about how there's merit to having a balanced, depolarized 3betting range vs unknowns in certain spots, but to me those are conflicting concepts. A balanced 3betting range to me is essentially a polarized 3betting range, so in other words the exact opposite of a depolarized/linear 3betting range. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Thanks.
