Great videos, thanks Pedro. Would love to see a few detailed videos on how to play turns after check raising flop on different board textures and different stack depths. Assuming you haven't made any already, but maybe somebody else has.

Thanks Ryan, great info

1. A9 on 337 flop. You said the cutoff should be check raising / calling it off with 44 to 88. That seems really light even from GTO view. And even more so when considering player tendencies. Do you as the button plan on jamming the flop as a bluff often over the check raise?

2. A63 the last hand. Should villain be check raising aggressively even though their range is pretty capped? (no AQ / AK hands probably. No 2 pairs) They do have a few sets though obviously.

Thanks

Great video Qing. "Deep stacked we should play more passively and cautiously OOP"
Do you think this idea can be taken further and applied preflop. I'm wondering if against a tough opponent who raises our BB if we should be playing even more passively.

Instead of me 3betting to 6x when I'm over 200bb deep, I wonder if it's almost wiser to 3bet less often. The problem is that when we 3 bet to 6x we are risking a lot to win a little. And when we get called, we aren't too happy to be playing a huge pot OOP with deep stacks behind still.

The extreme adjustment would be, what if over 200bb deep we don't even have a 3 bet range OOP vs a solid player? Because even when we 3 bet to 6x, the SPR is still very big and we are OOP. One big downside is that they will see the flop with all of their opening range obviously.

But if we do 3bet... .they can flat pretty wide in position where the SPR is still big and potentially make our life miserable or stack us.

Either way, playing deep OOP just sucks. Lol

"I think IP tends to raise less but call more than he should. How does that affect the EV of our hand and what strategy does it benefit?"
Live games are filled with these loose players who love to float or just draw to 4 outers. What do you guys think the proper adjustment is?
I've run some analysis in PIO, and it seems that double barrelling flop and turn big can be effective (but if they are a pure calling station, PIO sometimes recommends small flop and turn bets / give up river with overcards).
And even occasionally immediately giving up a little more of the bottom of our flop range.

Great videos Ryan. I'm curious if you have made any that are more exploitative in nature? You seem to play primarily a GTO strategy and I would love to hear more about strategy changes you make versus specific player tendencies. (You do occasionally briefly mention player pool tendencies) Obviously, there are other pros with videos discussing exploiting that I have watched. Thanks

If a player has multiple exploits across different streets, do you think it's wise to figure out which exploit is the greatest, and try to attack that one primarily? For example, if somebody folds too often to 3 bets but also plays very weak postflop. Sure, we can 3 bet preflop to pick up a small pot. But is there an argument to calling more preflop to see a flop, and exploiting their bigger leaks on later streets for more money.

Another way of saying this idea : Preflop mistakes translate into small EV exploits for us. But turn and river exploits can translate into much higher EV for us?
I play mainly live poker. It seems much better for me to see a flop with weak players, and getting into a turn or river situation where they hopelessly put in their stack with a weak top pair when I have the nuts.

This is similar to the idea of - if a reg opens too wide, sure we can 3 bet to punish them for a small edge preflop, but we could also just smooth call and allow the whale in the BB to come along also.

"As for whether we ever want to fold +ev hands or play -ev hands" To prove we never want to add -Ev hands to a range, Could it be as simple as:

Total Ev of a Range (Shania) = The weighted sum of all individual hands in the range.

Thus, adding a single negative hand, can only reduce the sum of all hands (Shania), not increase it.
