Villain may have been a bit guilty of forced aggression.
Clearly had the heart of a lion.
He who dares, wins!

Interesting reading and impressive results.
Could you post your positional winrates for 100nl and 200nl please?

Why not just make it 5 tables and get the show on the road?
You can always change it at a later date.

Great post Saulo.
Very insightful.

What do ranges look like on the flop?
Sept. 22, 2017 | 5:31 a.m.
I am trying to decide between buying MonkerSolver and Pio. Which would you recommend for NLHE?
What kind of computer specs would be required to calculate preflop ranges for 6-max NLHE with MonkerSolver?
Does MonkerSolver have all the necessary features to study the game?

With what hands should we x/c down?
May 24, 2017 | 5:32 p.m.
How do you create the linear 3bet ranges?
Can PioSolver do this?
A top player/coach said your 3bet range should be ~ 1/3 the RFI % of your opponent.
So if villain raise 25% of hands in the CO, you should 3bet him ~ 8%.
Maybe this is an over simplification.
Should a linear 3bet range be wider than a polar 3bet range?

With which hands would you continue?

Pay attention to villain's stack.

I don't understand what you were saying about board pairing turn cards being good/bad for a player depending on the flop action.
Could you explain this please?

Enjoy watching your videos.
I am always interested in seeing how top players construct their ranges and have a question for you regarding this topic.

KQ
Which hands would you advise us to put in the following different categories on the flop?
(a) check
(b) b/c
(b) b/f
(c) b/3b

Sauce has developed a software program which predicts the turn once he knows 5 cards of the individual deal.
XBLINK was the pioneer of run out prediction software back in the day but Ben has superseded him.

BB: $91.50 (91.5 bb)
Hero (SB): $333.63 (333.6 bb)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Ah 4c
Hero raises to $2, BB calls $1
Flop: ($4) Ks Ac 2d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.80, BB calls $2.80
Turn: ($9.60) 8d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
River: ($9.60) 4s (2 players)
BB bets $4.80, Hero raises to $14, BB raises to $83, Hero?
Villain 3bets 11%.
Therefore I assume he doesn't have AA, KK or AK.
1) What is the best line with this hand?
(a) Bet flop, bet turn, check river unimproved.
(b) Bet flop, check turn, bet river unimproved.
(c) Check flop, bet turn, bet river unimproved.
The advantage of option (a) is that we can value bet 3 streets the 20% of the time we improve to 2 pairs or trips by the river.
2) How many bets is this hand worth?
3) Is A4 strong enough to x/r the river?
4) How do we decide if we should call or fold when villain re-raises us on the river?
April 25, 2014 | 6:17 a.m.
1) Which hands are you expecting villain to fold when you bluff shove the river with A4?
2) 30 minutes in to the footage it looked like you were going to call K3 on QJ9r but decided to fold instead. Under what circumferences would you choose to call, fold and raise this type of hand?
April 3, 2014 | 6:13 a.m.
What bluffs does villain have in his range on the river?
April 1, 2014 | 3:23 a.m.
I meant to say read less. Have updated my post to reflect that.

You are a great addition to the site.
I need some help constructing my ranges.
Imagine we 3bet with the following range of hands:
TT+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, J7s+, T6s+, 95s+, 84s+, 74s+, 64s+, 54s, AJo+, KQo, 75o, 65o
Board = [2d 7c Ac] [Qd] [5h]
Assuming that we have no reads or stats on villain.
1) With which hands would you cbet the flop?
2) With which hands would you x/c the flop?
March 29, 2014 | 10:48 p.m.
Could you please elaborate on this Kevin?
March 29, 2014 | 9:50 p.m.
Fold to cbet in 3bet pot is 33%.
I think he will call flop with 2 overcards, he did so earlier in the session.
Fold to turn cbet is 21%.
He will call turn with any pair and presumably any draw.
Fold to river cbet is 0%.
x/cing seems like utter madness.
Betting won't get him to fold better very often.
However, it will prevent him from bluffing me off the best hand when he has air.
Villain is in position.

Hero?
1) What is your default line here and why?
2) When should we empty the clip with this type of hand?

Villain's stats:
# of Hands = 178

I keep finding myself in these situations.
Holding second pair, opting to x/c turn and river convincing myself that my opponent has a flush draw.
What factors should I consider when deciding if I should call or fold?

Results: $430.40 pot ($1 rake)
Final Board: Jc 7c 9c Ts Qh
SB showed 5c Qc and won $429.40 ($214.20 net)
Hero mucked Js 9h and lost (-$215.20 net)
Think I overplayed this one.
1) How would you have played this hand and what is your reasoning?
2) What are the weakest hands you would stack off with on this flop?
3) On which flops should we be getting all the money in with Js9h?
That is a good idea.
It is much more efficient to filter for saw flop = True as most 6-max players will be folding about 75-80% of their hands pre flop.
The viewers will get more bang for their buck.
