You have a remarkable ability to convince yourself your opinion is the only one that matters. Stop spamming this thread with the same comment.

This is very true and maybe I have lost sight of my goals. I enjoy strategy games and being able to win money playing a strategy game seems like a perfect combination. I do enjoy playing and learning more and I feel as though poker has taught me a lot of lessons about mindset that I try to follow into every day life. That being said I don't think I would play this game if there was no money to be won and everyone were just using play chips.

Thanks guys - I knew I butchered this hand as soon as I played it. If anyone's interested the strategy created for BB vs SB 3betting including this hand was created by Peter Clarke for micro/low stakes games on his website. I agree it is not a hand that I would have put in my 3betting range but he's a professional and I will continue to utilise this strategy for now as I have only implemented it recently and am not confident postflop with it yet.

I think a fold is very tight OTF we need about 12% to continue. Do you not think it's possible that CO and BTN as below average villains would have 66-TT, flush draws and lots of Kx and that UTG can be overvaluing Kx or bluffing with a flush draw? Obviously there are 6 set combinations but we also have required equity to continue vs 54s. I can get behind folding AK/KQ as we block TP but I think there's way to much KQ/KJ/KT in villain's range that we can consider folding to this.

He's the face of upswing, RIO training's biggest competitor. Even if they wanted to ask him I highly doubt any deal would make him promote RIO poker (and in effect RIO training). Moreover he lives in the US so would have to relocate to play.

Hey Pete great video! I was just trying to access your website but received a 404 Error "The requested URL was not found on this server - tried on different browsers and changing DNS settings. There's also an unsecure connection. Could you look into this please?

Edit: Also I think the mental game book would be well worth every player's time as this is a particularly undercovered area of the game when compared to the technical side. You also have a nice thought process that resonates with me so would love to hear your thoughts on the mental game.
As for further video suggestions I would love to see you play some 25z and recreate your "comparing triangulum" video for lower stakes talking about the leaks that population tends to have. I think a Key concepts: Multiway pots would also be particularly beneficial as multiway pots are very common in LS live and MS online and learning the correct adjustments would be highly beneficial to win rate.

I see - how come it says $469 on this graph?

Nice results! Can I ask what site you play on? I'll be very interested in $450 rakeback over 30,000 hands of NL25.

Don't pretend to speak for everyone. I agree with decreasing rake but think your subscription idea is stupid.

This is against most sites TOS. Moreover PT4 requires you to be at the table to collect hand histories anyway (not sure about HEM but the programs are very similar).

What flushes do you think villain can have in this scenario? Axh are the main 4bet bluff hands pre that get there but we block all those. I agree this is an interesting spot. Really makes me wish I had PIO in spots like this.

Yes thanks - obviously we can never be sure of villain's range but I can't see much else that villain can take this line with. Do you think this range is appropriate?

Yeah no recreational player is going to want to pay to play; if you have no recreationals you have no game. The reason rake works so well is because recreational players don't realise or care that it exists.

Great video but I have a question. In the first hand example @22:35 PIO likes to use a big bet sizing with hands like A3s and A2s. Should these not be in our checking range or in the "smaller bet" range in a partially polarized sub-range? Why are they using big bets when they will struggle to extract value and are too strong to bluff using this sizing? I would have thought PIO would have bet small near 100% with these hands for protection and value.

Hey Pete! You're my favourite coach on this site and my favourite video of yours was Comparing Triangulum, however, i'm not currently playing NL50/NL100 and would love to see you play some lower stakes (even just NL25) and talk about the population tendencies and adjustments similar to your comparing triangulum video. Thanks very much!

Good video - thanks for reviewing my hand! (The NL5z one). I think i've got stuck in a rut of maybe overusing the block bet because it makes my decision points easier. Population under bluff raises that sort of river and I thought I could still get value from Ax from a player trending towards weak/passive. If he raises I have an easy fold, whereas if I check and he bets it's a tricky spot.

I was not PFR. If I were this is a slam dunk cbet

Well played. If you want to incorporate some AA into your calling range then I would call with hands that don't have the Ad as this is a card that villain could conceivably bluff turn with. That being said vs this player type I wouldn't think about blockers too much and would lay this down the large majority of the time

Thanks! I've already read the books by Blackrain79 and follow his blog. I really want the FTGU course it looks really good! Thanks for the tip about the discord I will certainly join that.

Just move up if and when you have the bankroll. 1k hands is too small a sample to say anything. There's as much chance you are a losing player as there is a winning player from this sample. Play a minimum of 30k (and preferably closer to 100k) to get a rough idea of your win rate.

Any news on when the UK will be able to apply for the StreamR program?

It's a 2.5x pre which is fairly standard. Villain was only playing one table, was not full stacked and donk bet a very dry flop, which all lead me to believe he's a weaker player.
