Hey psek,
What does the 'e' mean in the bet sizing parameters in pio? I know you mentioned it being related to geometric sizings but just wondering what it means when you input 2e for example? Cheers

Hey Psek,
How do you get villains stack size to show up in red if it is less than xbb like you had on the player in the bb @5min. ty!

Hi Sauce, nice video!
At 8:43 you mention that the K3cc plays ok as part of a betting range in the turn probe spot. I was wondering if you could elaborate on why this is? I feel like these type of unintuitive bets with low equity hands that don't seem to make too much sense on the surface are ones that I so easily miss and result in me playing too passively. Thanks

Makes sense, so if we were to apply Bayesian thinking to that output would it just be the upper bound of the interval that would be effected (I.e something more like 3.5bb-9bb) or would the lower bound be effected too.
I guess im just trying to understand whether or not running at 10bb over that sample can be reason to assume that the player is extremely likely to be a solid winning player in those games.

Hey Ben, great video - really enjoy the analysis of this part of the game. Just wanted to ask a question about pokerdope.
Lets say I run at 10bb/100 over a 100k sample - if I use these inputs for a pokerdope simulation (10bb w/r, sample 100k hands, st/dev 100) and it gives me a 95% confidence interval of 3.5bb-16bb. Is it safe to say that theres a 95% chance that my true winrate falls within this interval? Or am I interpreting that incorrectly?

Is Restacks a Bon Iver reference?

Hi Ben, thanks for doing this, love your videos!!
What do you think about the argument for playing very simplified strategies? Do you think its a viable strategy to simplify to the point where you're either checking or betting range on certain boards?

Is Uri going to making a video every 2-3 months or will be more frequently than his first few vids? Thanks

Hi Saulo, Great video!
In the A4s hand where you ob flop on T85r, how do you go about trying to balance your frequencies here? On these types of boards where betting our entire range for a small sizing isnt much of a valid option, I often find myself unsure and stuck when it comes to implementing mixed strategies. Do you use a rng to try and balance each hand or are you selecting certain hands and betting them all the time and selecting other hands and checking them all the time?
Thanks!

Hi Saulo, nice video!
At 15:25 you double barrel the QJcc, what is the reasoning for this? I would have thought we would like to have at least a fd blocker for a combo like QJ to be barreling. Also I would have presumed we would use a more polar sizing than half pot on a texture like this. Do u think the rec is floating so wide that we can make a hp barrel with no good blockers here?

Flop equities are 63/47 in IP's favour
EVs are 1042/557 in IP's favour

ye playing 3b or fold. Following monker high rake environment sims for the most part.

Hey guys. I was simming a 3bp BTN vs CO earlier and I found PIOs strategy quite interesting. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on why IP has such a low betting frequency when we have a 63% range advantage. Maybe its because I have both players with AQ at 100% frequency while OOP has 44 so he has a nut advantage? I still would have thought we would bet more with such a huge equity advantage. The flop strat and ranges used are below. The reason why there are so many mixes in OOP strat is because I was trying to sim a spot in a high rake environment where OOP shouldnt be flatting many 3bets imo.

Pleeeasseee give us more Uri Peleg videos. His first vid was epic!!!!!

Really cool video. Would love to continue seeing you break down hands in pio, I find it very beneficial hearing you breakdown why pio is doing what with certain hands and I think youre really good at interpreting the outputs! Keep it up!

Nice video teunuss!
You forgot one crucial piece of information though, who was at the door?
May 23, 2019 | 1:19 p.m.
Hi Tyler nice vid!
We saw you fold hands like 98o and A2o when folded on the btn throughout the video and you mentioned that youre likely losing a few hundred bucks opening hands like 98o here over the course of the year.
How do you come to this conclusion? Is this just a sort of guestimation or is there some work we can do to help get an accurate approximation on whether or not these hands are losing/winning as an open. I assume highish rake is a big factor?
Thanks!

wp imo.
-Id bet bigger on flop. Generally not a fan of betting big multiway but on a board like this there is just a crazy amount of draws that we need to protect against
-I think sizings on turn and river are good. Dont think were ever beat vs a 2/5 reg who will just continue betting JT and sets, Id imagine he just had some sort of KTss/KJss type hand. wp!

+1 to another railing with Tyler Forrester video!

Your check raise sizing is too small, vs his sizing we arent gonna have many protection raises and we'll have a more polar x/r range which will = bigger sizing. Something like 4x-5x should work better. I dont think I would include AT in this range vs this size against an EP range, but it should be fine.
I think if we are continuing on the turn we should be using a bigger sizing closer to pot continuing to represent a polar range, but I would probably put AT in an x/c range as it would be getting too thin to put in the big sizing when he still has all overpairs. We'll have some 89s/87s that x/r flop too that will want to potentially x/c turn too so nice to put a stronger hand like AT in this range so he cant just value bet all his Tx when we check turn. Id continue betting turn with sets and some high equity bluffs
As played on river I think we have a decent bluffcatcher blocking TT/AA and unblocking bluffs. At the same time were facing a UTG range which should be quite narrow and strong at this point, so I guess it depends on how we construct our river check range whether we need to call this or not

Hi Tyler - Really good video, enjoyed this one a lot!
I was wondering if you had any general tips for playing anon tables vs regular tables? Ive recently started playing more anon tables and cant help but feel like there are some potential exploits to be had! Thanks!
May 16, 2019 | 10:57 a.m.
Hi Gary, nice video!
14:32 what do you think about 3bet calling flop here? His x/r sizing seems really weak and unlikely to have us beat, while our hand is in need of a ton of protection and unblocks a lot of strong draws.
Similarly, what do u think about shoving turn over his bet? Again it just feels like we are so seldom beat here and we can punish his draws a lot by shoving over his bet.

Interesting spot. Vs an unknown who we assume is a rec, I think I would find a smallish val bet, something like hp and fold to a raise. Most recs are gonna be too passive to find a bluff vs a triple here, especially given his limp pre, so I would assume we can safely val bet and fold to a raise.
Recs dont like folding pairs and he should have hands like 54s/6x/44/33 enough to make a value bet profitable
May 15, 2019 | 4:41 p.m.
I dont think we can just fold flop here. We have a bunch of equity in position on two players on a flop that is favourable for us. This board isnt great for bb and is reasonable for sb, however, we are the ones who have all sets, all two pairs, and all AK here so this flop is for sure favourable for us and one we should never see the blinds donk on.
As played, we just have to continue simply due to the amount of equity we have, the question then becomes whether or not we want to raise or call. Raising seems reasonable but at the same time I think we get peeled too much and dont generate enough fold equity at micros to make it attractive imo. I would just call, see a turn and reevaluate
Hey Nuno, great vid! I was watching your video where u played dudd1 and saw that you have a timing/sizing tracker (I think?) for the other player, just wondering which software u use for this? Thanks!
