MrMoglin I'm not arguing against 3bet or fold, I'm arguing against 3betting 22, A6s, K7s etc. that I always see 3bet from earlier spots like CO vs UTG, for example.

I play 100 rush and cash, comfortably beating it on GG, looking for people around this or higher to study with too. Got plenty of 50nl players to study with so really just looking for people at a higher level.

Feel free to send me a DM, and anyone else playing 100+.

Thanks everyone and thanks RIO :)

Will DM you

Always a fan of the GG content, keep it coming!

Not a fan of folding the flush at 19:54. 5d and 4d block nut flush combos more than any other, and should be betting the turn almost always, and I can absolutely see a player jamming with the Ad to get you off a chop, I would probably do it every time since half pot appears capped. I think the real question should be whether you fold an A, not a flush.

On the other hand, love the fold at the end of the video. Made a few calls in similar spots recently and shown the bad news, can definitely get behind that this spot will be way under bluffed especially considering the logic you explained.

You can download hands but villains are anonymised.

I believe these stats are now actually accurate. People really are 3betting this much, you see it up to 50 too. If you see the hands they turn up with at showdown, you start to realise that they are just crazy.

Would you recommend reviewing your hands like this in reality or is it just for the juicy content?

Love the fold at 39:45. I think too many players on here use the usual reasoning "I'm getting X to 1, I'm exploitable by folding etc etc."

Great video overall. Hopefully will see you in this pool soon, battling it out at 100 Rush for now.

At 19:40 I'm really liking the jam, simply assuming that he doesn't have J8 in this line ever, as you said with the river sizing tell. Thoughts?

Cool video, Max. I have never had the idea to copy the hand into a document and write about the mistake during training, usually just something I would reserve for a hand review, but it makes a lot of sense in regards to cementing learning.

Another thing is about GTO Wizard. I recommend you switch to the General sims for this type of study. I believe they are more accurate and have better preflop ranges and bet sizes.

I think the 88 river call at 5:20 is a huge punt. Nobody 3bets flops enough, which every poker player knows, so him calling flop and leading the turn is unbelievably nutted. On the river I genuinely think most villains have a total of exactly zero bluffs and zero value that you beat.

This style is exactly what I'm trying to implement at 100nl - always choosing the more aggressive actions. I think it works really well, good to see you implementing it here too.

Hey Steve. I think this is a useful study method for training turns and rivers. Really familiarising yourself with the spot and the relevant blockers and ranges on each street is surely going to be much better than drilling random turns and rivers.

I will say it wasn't the most exciting video though. Perhaps better would be, though the addition of context and set up, you can start with a hand you have found to have played incorrectly instead of a random board? Would add a bit of narrative.

If you are referring to me, it is my first month of Elite as well as first time in the top members leaderboard :)

This video, simply ;) , blew my mind. I never knew why frequencies were they way they were on boards like A84 vs. AK4. The rule for betting small and big makes a tonne of sense.

In the second last example, JJ7ss strikes me as a small bet only board, as with most paired boards, and I would range bet. Yet, you say the lack of marginal hands requires us to bet big more often. I was thinking perhaps this is an exception to the rule at first. However, I think as we share nutted hands with trips we don't bet as big, and as we actually do have a fair amount of marginal hands (AK, AQ, 99+), it makes sense that it's a pure small bet board. I have included an image with the equity graph and highlighted all hands from 50-80% equity, of which there is clearly a huge advantage for BTN.

Tyler Forrester I have confirmed that it is a strategy he advocates and is part of his Simp Crusher course, so yeah, probably Pinnock.

Tyler Forrester I believe so, and he is involved in a prop bet playing 500z in Ignition, so it lines up.

Do you think the player in 36:05 is Thomas Pinnock?

His bet size screams value imo since this is a horrible sizing to use since you should have a fairly well protected checking range. When we jam AKo ever, we actually will want to have the King that matches the flush draw, not the ace. This is so villain gets it in with flush draws, which they will have more of that are Ax. It's fine in theory but in practice, against this size, I don't like it.

You cannot overbet vs. BB on flush completing turns. You may have heard that rainbow boards are cbet more than two tone (and monotone, obviously). This is because BB has more suited hands therefore higher range EV. When the flush completes, they obviously now have a lot of flushes, and the nuts are now shared between IP and OOP. IP's advantage in overpairs etc. is gone. Villain is uncapped so we can't overbet.

It appears that the main reason you wrongly assume they are capped is that "the majority of flush draws should have checkraises flop." This is simply false. The majority of flush draws are calling.

If you don't have multiple sizes on turns and rivers, especially OOP, you will not move up stakes.

Really liked this video, especially seeing the node lock work. I think as a low stakes player, this is really going to help.

Welcome back! This is a great content format so glad to see you doing it too.

One thing to note about your second point. I looked at some sims and found that T9 is much less of a value bet, checking around 70% of the time for me. I think this is because due to the sims being for 50nl ranges and for a 2.5 open, I only have 98o as a call for BB 20% of the time, and 85s as lowest suited 8 preflop. Just goes to show the minor things that make a difference.

Hey Steve, I'm sure you will agree one of the most interesting spots is the Ks4s2dAh hand at 18:00. I've been exploring some sims along the same lines and have come to the conclusion that the condition to use the block size on the A turn is when OOP uses a large size. The frequency of betting is increased when we hit the A more, and our opponent does not. So as well as when we use the large size (and villain folds naked A-high), it also happens on two tone boards since we are likely to raise nut flush draws and the nut flush blocker, and wheel boards since we raise Ax draws.

Due to these conditions, we hit weak top pairs therefore we have a middling portion of the range that is driving the bet size.

Super rare spot and probably not a great use of time but sometimes you just gotta find the answers!

Hi Gary, was the Q9 hand at 23:24 RNG'd on the flop? I also think turn could have been a good donk spot but you instantly checked, force of habit I guess?

Great way to study. I think even better would be to note every spot that was wrong and revisit the sim of your mistake, then make a note of the type of error you made, which will not only help encode into long term memory, but create a bit of a database that may see a pattern in where general mistakes are being made.

There are certain boards in which using pot or check is very applicable. The very same people would likely use 1/3 or check on other boards. The boards shown in the video are examples of them given that the trainer uses sims to dictate the size used.

Good to see some GGPoker on here. I believe the software is the future of poker, and also my software of choice
