UTG was not the most important concern as he was a weaker player and I assume he would overplay his Top Two, Nut fd etc. Also he had a mid stack which helps. In case we continue after MP raises i assume best play is to pot to prevent Mp realizing his equity by flatting? Thanks for the responses.

I forgot to say that the most profitable sizing for BU on the river is probably to overbet. Do you think we are enoughly capped for that to work better with his overall range?

Great video! Made me think a lot about the spot. This kind of videos give me motivation to grind.
In respect to what kind of videos we wanna see i´d like to watch this kind of mathematic and quantitive analysis wheter or not is using CREV. I think you are pretty good at that! Gl Oxota.

Min 20 88 hand. I think its fine to jam as a BLUFF (not 4value as Peter says) the weakest pairs in your 3bet range as well as the strongest that can jam 4value (QQ-AA) and calling with everything in the middle that has better playability than the lowest PP´s.

Min 18 96o hand from the BB. I would prefer a call on the turn despite it doesn´t look well. Seems key to me that most A high combos check back on flop and strong kings don´t bet the turn for the most part as a standard i think. A9 and A7 checks back flop also. Pretty clear call if we make this assumptions.

Ey Ben, really enjoyed the vid.
My question is related to preflop construction of your BB ranges. I´ve noticed that you opt to 3 bet a depolarized range (J8s,QJo,etc) and i wonder if that doesn´t leave your flatting range too weak.
What hands would you consider "bluffs" in that 3betting range? 96s for one? When I say bluffs i mean you are folding to regular size 4bets.
Thanks in advance and good luck with your finals.

Yep, I thought it too much i guess but i thought that TsTh didn´t even had a decision on the turn and would fold almost for sure and if he had a D He was only calling one street of value anyways.
Maybe the key is that a don´t induce much action at all from the weaker parts of his range compared to the value i get from middling hands on the turn.
AK (12 combos) and AJhh(1 combo) are the only potential bluffs i would think.
Worse hands that call/raise the turn may be (TTd-JJd 6 combos) (QQ-AA 15 combos) (AdKx 3 combos) (AdQx, AhQh 4 combos)
As i think he es not even always bluffing the river with AK agree that it is a clear bet on the turn.

Thanks for the advice, im a rookie on this site hehe.
I don´t think i want to bet almost anything on the turn and its the reason why a don´t bet for value this hand. Splitting into betting and checking range on the turn might be best as you argue.
I don´t think i can ever fold the river, this is enough agressive/good reg to shove AdKx and AdAx for value as well As QQ since i underrep my hand on the turn.

i don´t understand preflop and flop play. I don´t know how good of a squeeze situation it was to go this wide.
On the flop i don´t like betting as they hit this board a ton and you hand doesn´t retain his equity as a bet. I would have either bet bigger on flop to set a pot size turn shove or bet super small on flop to set 3 street betting round. I think the first option is the best one if you were to bet. I think its a clear check back on the flop as i said before.

I agree with Ben refering to preflop.
I don´t like cold calling 3bets and mix it with cold 4bets. It is a spot where you should continue with so tight of a range that i would choose a single strategic opcion. I would choose 4betting my entire continuing range as despite having position on BB you are offering great odds for the BU and you define your range.
As played against a 25% 3betting range should be an easy call down ignoring how many better hands you have. I think you should calldown exploitative instead of balance on the river.

Yep, if I had to guess i´d say that he has around that percentage of better hands (Kc3c and it depends if he check back K9-KT some percentage of the time). Thanks Ben

Nice "different" video. I apreciate sometimes looking poker from a more general human perspective if that makes sense. Keep it going Sean :)

Related to last question, you mention that you never consider 4betting 98s MP vs CO. I assume you give importance to having blockers to construct 4bet bluffing ranges at any position at the table? Thanks

Ey Ben, nice vid as expected.
KT @ 43min you mention on a couple times that you kinda mix your strategy with the same hand depending or not if it has backdoor flushdraw. Could you explain why you think having one is better for betting and viceversa? Regards.

Seems contradictory to me you to say that you are calling down almost every runout and finally fold on a not very dynamic river in my opinion. The other point is that i am very sure that almost every regular valuebets that river even as weak as KQo as they ( and I do ) perceive the river as a brick as i never have a 5 on my Co vs Sb flat calling range. As you thing you would have a 5 sometimes in that situation, you think a hand like 65s is a Ev+ preflop call in that spot?. Thanks in advance.
This is the format I enjoy the most. Keep it on Daniel!
