Really looking forward to the rest of this series!

4:00 do you ever consider betting ak as a value bet here even multiway?

I played a couple of live tournies this weekend and realized I was playing too passively with offsuit broadways pre flop both in position and out of position. I favored calling with them and didn't do a lot of 3 betting. I tend to do this with suited wheel aces as well.

I noticed you 3betting these type of hands a fair bit in a lot of your videos including this one. In general, do you find more success when you tend to 3bet more often with these hands to take control post flop?

Thanks!

Hey Dhruv,

I always appreciate your great replies and analysis.

You are right. I was trying to follow all of the action on all tabkes and didnt realize the greyed out cards were folded. It was confusing to have the cards still displayed in their hands.

I really like this format. I'm not sure if we have had an every hand reviewed live play review before.

30:00 do you ever exploitively find bluffs on the turn with low pocket pairs vs weaker opponents? I feel like a lot of people woyld overfold.

Thanks!

Excellent video. A lot to think about.

One very simple heuristic that I have used, and it certainly may not be accurate, is that the higher the cbet frequency with a smaller size the less you get to barrel turn and vice versa due to your range being so wide. Does that hold true a fair bit?

Jan. 17, 2025 | 12:24 a.m.

Appreciate the exploration of post flop icm strategy.

13:00 you talked about on the aaq flop there is more fold eq vs the aq2 so we bet more. I think it is reversed in real life and we will get called by all the pairs and a lot of k high broadways on the aaq flop.

Thanks!

Great analysis.

First two hands, on the flop, if the boards were rainbow or sl8ghtly more disconnected does cbet sizing go up as the pfr/3bettor would retain more eq?

Thanks!

Hey Callum,

First hand, can you go a bit into why high offsuit broadways are bad to 4bet bluff when deeper?

17:40 I wonder if the turn wasn't a king would oop still be able to bluff this effectively?

23:30 it almost seems like the q8 player capped himself on the turn. He will have some big hands but this jam on the river seems to lack enough value hands.

One suggestion I would have would be to do the solver analysis right after you show the hand. I had to go back and review the hand before watching the solver portion each time.

Great video!

9:40 table 3 qq, what is your opinion on the k high call by opponent? I think you may check down a lot of k highs here so he unblocks your bluff range. With the flop and turn check, I wonder how wide your bluff range actually is here on the river.

26:05 table 1 k7, if opponent is going to bluff with the Ad, I feel like he should be 1.5x pot. I don't think there are enough boats out there for him to worry about.

Thanks!

Comment | SoundSpeed commented on My B Game Finale

Great series!

1:15 table 3 7755, what about leading river as a value/bluff bet? You could get called by worse sets or 2pr and you could fold out a straight?

30:47 table 2 akt7 the river bet into 3 others seems really thin especially since you have no diamonds. I know they all capped their ranges but I would think there could easily be some weak flushes looking to pot control.

Thanks!

Comment | SoundSpeed commented on K-Means Clustering

Interesting way to look at data. I have never heard of clustering.

The differences in strategy based on the gaps on the flop was interesting. Just a subtle shift in the gap makes a fair bit of difference.

Seems like the closer or nonexistent the gap the less rng and nut advantage we have so we should size down and bet less often.

I often equate a small bet with a larger frequency but that is not always the case.

I also associate large bets with lower frequency as having a nut advantage but not a range advantage.

Do these seem like reasonable heuristics?

Thanks Frankie!

Jan. 11, 2025 | 7:21 p.m.

Excellent analysis!

29:55 how relevant is the j blocker since berri raised turn repping a 9 or t high straight?

Any chance for a similar high stakes series but with 6max?

Thanks!

Comment | SoundSpeed commented on I'm Back

Enjoyed the plo content and hope you makemore but the nlh content works too ;)

10:10 is qjs a pure 3bet due to being the middle blind? Would you mix call if it were the 3rd blind?

Jan. 11, 2025 | 1:15 a.m.

Great run Ryan! Looking forward to the bracelet video.

Jan. 11, 2025 | 12:34 a.m.

Excellent video! The comparison of chip ev with icm covering and icm being covered is incredibly helpful!

33:43 when talking about check raising the single hearts hands, that stuff to me in icm spots is very difficult and for me would increase variance at a point in the tourney when I would want to avoid that. I'm not sure it would be best for me to try that stuff.

Thanks!

Comment | SoundSpeed commented on Last Grind of 2024

Great video.

1:40 table 3 ajo if you were full stacked do you mix call and 4 bet?

Usually when I am ep with ajo i mix 4bet and fold and when lp i mix call and 4bet as I will face wider 3bet ranges. Is that a good way to look at it?

3:20 table 2 aq with him repping lower value hands how do you feel about a river raise?

18:35 table 3 jj would you ever consider a jam with the straight am2d flush blockers?

31:50 table 1 t9, are you using multiple sizings on this river? With a J i imagine you would want overbet and some 2 pair maybe a bit smaller.

Thanks!

Jan. 9, 2025 | 11:37 p.m.

Hi Brian,

26:00 it is surprising we are folding some Kx. Are we folding some kq and kj because it blocks some of the bluff range?

Thanks!

Jan. 9, 2025 | 12:51 a.m.

Hi Dhruv,

6:10 table 1 qq99 you talked about possibly xr the turnto get him off of 2pr. What about xr the flop since we have 2 straight blockers?

19:20 table 4 kkqj you said it was better to check back flop having kk but without you would bet. Are you looking to avoid a xr with the kk?

35:15 table 3 ktt2 if you don't river a set are you looking to pot it with the straight blockers?

Thanks!

Jan. 8, 2025 | 11:53 p.m.

Excellent video Tyler! Thanks for sharing this data. Quite a bit to take in.

Jan. 8, 2025 | 12:24 a.m.

Great mix of games.

7:00 should hero be bluff raising top and 2nd pair hands?

7:30 if hero caught a t or j after second draw can he raise to get opponent to break?

19:30 the only time i raise after first draw with 1 card draw then fire after bricking 2nd draw is vs very loose player. Am i missing value by only doing it vs that player type?

I would have just xc and draw 1 on each street. Is that too weak?

Thanks!

Jan. 7, 2025 | 10:30 p.m.

Excellent video! Iteopepe is the only one who does these for mixed games and his videos are outstanding. It's great to have more like them.

Appreciate you skipping nlh. I think the more coverage of the other games the better.

Jan. 4, 2025 | 7:33 p.m.

Hey Luke,

Good review. Some of these tv games just seem like toy games full of silliness at times. Makes for a more lighhearted and entertaining review.

First hand, how do you feel about the river overbet? Seems like it is a bit overpolarizing and should be sized down to look like a value bet that is targeting a wider call range.

Jan. 3, 2025 | 11:41 p.m.

Well done video. Would like to see more. I appreciate all the work to put together the graphs.

Jan. 2, 2025 | 9:35 p.m.

Yeah I knew you did say they bet it a lot. I phrased the question funny. In his shoes, would you continue to bet most of your flush draws?

Jan. 2, 2025 | 4:17 p.m.

You explained your thought process really well.

First hand, to me I agree that he does not have any kind of nut advantage whatsoever. As such, a massive overbet like this is not supported. However, I think that very good hands are more equally distributed in your ranges and I feel that beyond whatever hands the river improves, you are both somewhat capped (this is based on average live 1-3, 2-5 and lower medium stakes tourney pools I am familiar with). As such, I think having a slight overbet size is not so bad.
I call all day with your hand.

17:40 you talked about how much our opponent checks turned flush draws. Doesn't solver like to check a lot of turned flush draws when ip and oop to avoid getting raised?

19:42 isn't a delay cbet here often an overbet?

32:00 so as opponent, do you feel the bottom of his value range should be limited to 2pr+ and the betsizing is pot+?

Thanks Frankie!

Jan. 1, 2025 | 11:36 p.m.

You explained everything really well.

31:05 would you follow through on a lot of rivers vs what appears to be a capped range? Is the 6c enough if a flush blocker?

Thanks!

Jan. 1, 2025 | 9:19 p.m.

Hey Ryan,

7:36 how do you feel about his bet with a2cc into the side pot?

If it were a regular tournament does that change things?

Thanks!

Jan. 1, 2025 | 1:04 a.m.

10:00 so is your raise a bit of a merge to get value from draws but to potentially continue to barrel to pressure bottom pair type hands?

Would you look to barrel often if you manage to get it heads up

29:35 you said that the turn is bad for our range including our middling pair range. With that said, how often do you barrel turn with middle pairs 77-tt with a diamond?

Thanks!

Jan. 1, 2025 | 1:03 a.m.

I like the idea of creating a comprehensive list of questions before solver study. Very often i will just jump in and go node to node.

26:40 I think on the river we will have a fair number of thin value hand s that can bet small and that supports more bluffs with hands like 76.

Jan. 1, 2025 | 1:02 a.m.

I like the format. Maybe you can find some interesting triple barrels as well.

9:50 if pfr were on the button would you still prefer bb to go polar with his xr? The board is so dry it doesn't seem like there would be a ton of check raising either way.

21:55 you mention that due to the cbet being so small bb shouldn't have much of a donk range due his range being wider and weaker. However, if his range is so much wider and weaker, doesn't that mean he can hit more turn cards and have a wider value range? Perhaps create a somewhat polarized donk range?

Thanks!

Jan. 1, 2025 | 1:01 a.m.

I enjoyed the format.

1:30 table 2 akt8 if it were rainbow is it a fold?

39:50 table 2 akk4 if you face a turn bet after checking are you calling? You do have the gutter and 2 straight blockers but it's tough with two flush draws out.

Thanks!
