Thanks for following up, appreciate it! Really like your stuff, cornerstone of rio elite, especially for people that play on iggy/bovada.

thanks for response, didn't mean to size value and bluffs differently, meant an entirely different size, 85% is just a bit bigger than what I see most people use in these sorts of spots in 3bp, see more b65-75. Although, sure, this has a minor impact on pretty much anything, was just kinda curious about the non "standard" size.

Explanation on AQ spot is helpful, thanks.

11:09 85% on the T turn with KT? I know you have specified sizings so in that context that makes sense but what sort of size would you prefer in game? I think a somewhat smaller sizing produces indifference for like JJ or 88 w/ diamond? Also A3 barreling high frequency, why A3 instead of like A4/A5? A3 has very little sd in practice sure but isn't the wheel draw good to bluff with or?

22:20 AsQd is less preferred than AxQs because you force As to call? I'm a little confused here, I guess it's only calling if flopped the fd and you're getting value from like ATss (and then river goes xx or something on brick)? I've actually seen this interaction quite a bit for turn bluff selection in 3bp so good to get some clarity on it if this is the reasoning.

Great video, always good to review 3bp.

Demondoink this is a helpful explanation, thanks!

Agreed about the preferred seating definitely throws me off lol.

any specific reason to make 99 a x/r rather than something like b70 on river at 5:45? Do suits matter at all? Really like your videos; live or post analysis doesn't matter to me keep them coming!

5:03 not betting KQo ever on the Jh turn? I would think you could barrel gutshots a lot + overcards to pairs (?) I'd assume the diamond is marginally bad, would you barrel with a spade/club combo? (obviously hearts are something else entirely). Nut no pair is something I've never really heard before, so maybe I'm missing something here.Love this series.

In the QT9 hand the T turn should be donked a ton by SB, so checking back a ton of stuff on the turn exploits SB not donking when they should be (obviously you can't tell that SB doesn't build donking ranges, but population massively underdonks turns out of SB bvb). Great vid, Pete Clarke rio videos are always a must watch.

Great video!

at 2:55, QsJd hand. You double block the turn/rivered queen or jack, but don't you pretty heavily unblock weaker Ax that will stab flop and x turn at a high frequency? Pretty much any Ax will have to call river if you were to bet somewhere between pot and 150% or something. Also, wouldn't flop be a fold a lot? Maybe not at this lower rake.. I'm used to 200/500nl rake so maybe this becomes an easier call at significantly lower rake. Great vid as always. edit: got around to actually watching the whole video, this is answered :)

9:50- AKs is a "pure value bet" on 864r with bdfd as sb 3bettor vs btn? I'm really confused by this, a flop where you are checking a ton and any sim is telling you to check a ton with range and more with any AKs. I imagine you can't have a massive read or something in zone.
