Thank you, Luke. This tutorial is quite useful.

Cool video! The explanations were very good and in depth.

This was very cool, i enjoyed the thought process. You should do more of these!
P.S: What i mean by these is videos where you analize a large number of hands in wich you share your thought process. Is quite helpful, at least to me.

Thank you for the quick response!

Hi! I'm curious about something: how do you analyze pool trends, patterns and things like that? I would like some ideas about how to begin such a task(because, to me, it feels overwhelming). Thank you and congrats on the video! Your analysis is very detailed.

Thank you! I do not have it but the information was useful nonetheless.

What type of rng you use and how can it be acquired ?

At min 15:00, the JJ hand, are you sure you've got all the 16 combinations of AQ there ? What do i mean by that is: are you sure that you do not use a overbet size on that turn with alot of your AQueens? If you have 2 sizings there and he knows that, he might turn a Qx into a bluff vs your smaller sizing. You obviously know your strategy better than me but that JJ fold seems quite tight giving the fact that he does not have all the 16 combinations of AQ in sb, some of them surely are 3bets.

Ok. Thank you for the answer !

This was an excellent video. You have Piosolver Pro sau Piosolver edge?
I ask this question because i have Piosolver Pro, i have the Preflop "function"(let's call it that) but i cannot build the preflop three in an effective way. I've tried to copy your three but the results have been disapointing: the preflop ranges do not come the right way(they get split in half) and i'm curious if this is because i do not have the "Piosolver edge" or because i did not build the ranges in an correct manner.

This was an excellent video !

Sorry man but i do not play with music, i do not study with music and, for me, it's quite distracting especially during hands.

I think you can mix it up with both more creative videos and teaching based type videos or combine the two. I mean, obviously you are a very creative person and i do believe exploring that would be a good thing for everyone( for you and the community) but, also, you are a very good poker player, so explaining your thought process at the tables is very important as well.

Ok. Thank you for the answer. The offers(the legal ones at least) for poker in those markets are extremely limited. That is why i'm asking.

I understand that you guys are planning on launching runitonce poker in 2018 so i will put this question here: you have any plans to get into regulated markets who have a universal pool, markets which would require you to get a licence(Bulgaria, Romania etc.) ?

I do hope this thing will never play out in real life, but if it will, this is how i think it will go: basically, you will give people the "fredom" to be the worst versions of themserves without any punshment in most situations. And even the best people can become monsters if you put them in the "right" context, expecialy if you tell to them that, whatever they do, they are not at fault for. Also, even if people will accept the fact that there is no free will, that does not mean that they will be rational about it 100% of the time, the will for revenge, the "tribalism" won't go away just because, rationally, you know the person who wronged you had no say in the matter. We are not rational beings, we are far, far, far away from that.There is a quote which, i think, applies perfectly here: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"( i do mean this in a metaphorical way, of course).
This is my last comment on the matter and, if this thing really plays out, i do hope i am wrong about the outcome.

I do understand that the concequences have nothing to do with the actual truth, but, when you know that you might be wrong, as you said, and you do have 2 sides with extremly intelligent people debating on this issue and there is not yet a clear and scientifically proven winner, i do believe that you should think and talk more about the concequences of your claims in the real world wich you might believe that could be positive but i do think there are plenty of reasons to believe that they could be negative.

First of all, english it is not my first language, i learned it from movies and tv shows so please excuse my grammar.
By saying that a person has no free will, you get into some pretty tricky legal situations situations.
Laws, as i understand them, to be respected and agreed by everyone, they neeed to be both moral and practical.
To give just 2 examples:
1. theft: it should be illegal to steal from somebody because, practicaly, living in a country where theft is legal whould get us into some dangerous situations: revenge, eye for and eye type situation. Also, theft is morally wrong because if you take something that it's not yours by force, you hurt another person in the process and it's your choice to do so(that is my understanding of it, at least).
2. drug use(not the traffic of drugs, that's different): practically, the usage of drugs(especialy hard drugs) it's illegal in most countries because it brings more crime into a comunity and it changes and affects the behaviors of people from that comunity who tend to become less reliable(that is my understanding of this at least).
The moral side of the argument is weak though because people have issues when others tell them what they can and can't do with their boddies and because nobody else but themselves get hurt, at least directly, in this situation. Offcourse, there are many other arguments for wich drug use should be legal or atleast not a punishable offence under the law and you can even make the case that practically it does not work depending on the culture.
Now, almost everyone,with a few extreme exeptions, agrees that theft should be illegal and people should be punished under the law for it, but not as many people agree that drug use should be a punishable offence under the law.
I whould argue that the difference between why everyone(or almost everyone) agrees that thieves should respond in a legal way for their actions and why people are split on the drug user issue(and other issues simillar to that like prostitution) it is not a practical one: i think amost everyone agrees that a society whould be better of without any thieves and herroin or cocaine users( to give a more practical example when it comes to hard drugs).
The main difference is, in my oppinion, the moral argument: almost everyone agrees that thieving it's immoral because it involves hurting other people in a direct way wich involves a choice from the person who comits the crime while there are plenty of people who think that using drugs it is not immoral because other people do not get hurt, at least not in a direct way and not by choice.
When you say that we have no free wll, well, you take the moral argument from play and you remain just with the practical one and the practical argument it's weak in many cases. I mean: why whould you jail somebody for theft, or even murder, if you think that, morally, he had no choice in the matter? Your obligation whould be to help him get over this event, not punish him for an act in which he had no control over.
Also, what reason whould have the victim or the family of the victim(in case of a murder) to ask for justice(other than returning their stuff in case of a theft-for practical reasons-) if the perpetrator had no say, no choice in the matter ?
This kind of thinking can be extremly dangerous and should be handled whith extreme care because it can lead to a world in wich most people whould not like to live in.
Personally, i do believe we have a sort of "free will" but a more limited one, not an absolute one.

I saw you call alot of small suited connectors and gappers vs 3bets both in and oop. You do this because they have higher playability? Because i do not think you have the odds to call that 95s for example or even the 98s at the end. Against a pretty wide range of hands(16%) from the sb 98s has about 36-37% equity while you need 38,9% direct odds to call. Btw, when you call 3bets how much of the pot you expect to win both ip and oop ?

Fuck this was amazing, it's crazy how a discussion about a hand of poker can go so deep.I don't mean to be cheesy or anything but this was truly touching, at least for me. I can also relate, both in a poker sense and in a larger sense.

Very good and practical video ! Thank you !

About the KJd hand at min 23-24, i understand that, if you assume that he has AJ there, your betsizing should go down but, if you bet 33% of pot there(as per formula), what kind of bluffs you can put in there and what kind of hands whould he actually fold given that size ? It's a double paried Jh board with multiple missed flush and straight draws and you are in bb, a small betsizing makes no sense to me if you want to have a single bet size, at least.

Thx for the answer, it makes sense including last part wich is very true.

About that note @51 minute, i agree that the 8 is a good card for the bb but if we decide to lead here as the bb how do you guys think we should balance our range and what kind of size we should use !? Because i assume we cant lead just 8x and bluffs for a big size because we are capped when we check and if we start betting jx we have to pick a smaller sizing !? How a balanced leading strategy whould look in a spot like this and what we should try to acomplish with it !?

Thx!

I'm really not a tournament player but i watched couple of your videos(the ones with guests when you made the ft so SM and something big on Full Tilt) and i found them very entertaining.
I've got a question for you: what kind of soft you would recomend for recording to someone who never recorded before !? I literaly know nothing about the subject but i whould like to record a couple sessions to look more easily for things i can improve on in my game. I've got a decent computer but i would like something that does not consume too much memory if that something exists and something that it's easy to use, i'm not very tech savy.
GL in the future and thx !

Thx so much for the answer: I get the first bit, altough fold=-12 not 0 because we already have invested 12$ into the pot but i get it that 0 is the break even point so to be break even he needs to fold 41.5% but i do not get the second bit, when we 5bet we risk 96bb to win 40.5 or a total pot of 136.5

At the hand with A5d, min 22:
if we shove and he folds we win 40.5
if we shove and he calls we loose the money we put in- our share of equity wich is, if he calls ako, aks and jj+, 30.73%.
From here, i'm a bit fuzzy about the math: so first, how we calculate how much we loose if he calls !? we put the 96$ left- our equity share !?
And also what is the formula to calculate how often he should fold so a 4bet from us to be break taking in consideration our equity share !?
And also, if we do not take in consideration the call, for a shove to be better than a fold our combined f.e and equity share in case he calls should be better than -12$, correct !?

Yes, i mean leading our entire range on that turn for a small size, as for the river, i do not know how we should play with all our range but i do think we should check this hand.

At min 6 the 97h hand: what about a small lead on K turn !? it seems to be a better card for our range than his and our hand needs protection, i know he can makes our life hell because he can shove but, still, i think a small lead cand be interesting . On the river, i do not know if a lead on that card makes sense because i still think he can bluff(offcourse you've got a much better perspective than me on this point) and i do not feel like 7 of clubs it's a better card for our range than his so it seems better for us to c/call.
