Good video but it's hard to follow at times with jumping between tables and hands. I prefer the hand review format from your previous video.

I agree. Excellent format with all cards revealed. We can get way more advice for preflop play especially with this format.

The action was a little bit hard to follow at times but still good video.

You favor small raise size in small blind vs big blind. Can you talk a little bit about why you choose that size instead of a larger one?

Hi Phil great video. I like the format because we get to see a lot of hands.

Question about river decision with AJT7ds hand at 33:30. In 3bet pot after check calling turn after the flush hits you lead river when the board pairs and you hit a full house. What kind of hands would you lead here as a bluff?

Great video.

Very interesting hand at 41min blind vs blind with A6o. Have you run any sims for these blind v blind situatons?

At 41min you are looking at a hand you bluff shoved all in on river and trying to see what range snowie shoves. Snowie divides the range into checking and shoving but you were only looking at the checking range trying to find hands it shoves. To see shoving range you needed to click on it.

I kinda wish you called in some of the spots where you were wondering what snowie had. I mean yeah you would have probably gotten a blunder error but you wouldn't have lost any money and we'd get to see what snowie played like that :)

You can set your "blunder threshold" in options. As a default it's set to 2bb or bigger errors. I think you'd be much better off setting it something smaller because there would be more hands for discussion. I'm 19minutes in and so far there hasn't been a single blunder. At 2bb you might go a whole video without one. I'm interested to see what are some of the smaller errors that snowie thinks you're making.

Interesting video otherwise.

Can you recommend a good place to buy these preflop GTO solutions?

Excellent video. Love the format with the sims. Only suggestion I would make is to finish analysing a whole hand before moving onto the next one and rewinding the video to talk about another hand if necessary.

I like these PIO videos. Always good to see what optimal strategy looks like. PIO definitely check raises a lot more aggressively than I do in that spot.

I picked up a mistake in your reasoning. You say that by raising on flop OOP with a 7 and folding out 3s it's a good result for us as 33 is never putting any more money in unless they improve. However PIO favours betting these low pairs on turn quite a lot. I think that's probably due to not blocking any of their folding range and also having two clean outs to improve.

So I think the real gain in raising a 7 on the flop OOP is folding out their QJ type hands that have 6 outs to improve. Is my reasoning correct here?

EDIT: I see you picked up on it as well just 30 seconds later in the video.

What stake did you use in your Snowie sim? I think snowie plays a little tighter on smaller stakes due to rake. If you choose a 100/200 blind game the rake is almost negligible and snowie does call with 66 and 77 in this scenario.

Excellent video. In future if you are showing us PIO results can you briefly go over the ranges used. I'm unfamiliar with the software so I don't know whether it has default ranges that we input for certain spots or if we have to define them ourselves.

Also it would be great if you could go over the different types of flops and how they change our cbetting strategy in more detail.

Keep going with two tabling videos. They move at a good pace and are much easier to follow. Also I like the amount of detail you're able to devote to each interesting hand when there are fewer tables.

Hey Phil. Excellent video as always. Please keep making PLO videos for essential as they are hugely educational and there aren't as many essential ones as there are for NL.

I guess people with big databases could compare their results with AA getting different numbers of callers.

I would also float some broadway clubs on the flop. At least AQ/AJs. So there's more hands that you can snap call river with.

I think this is a fold. With BB and UTG coming along it'll likely make COs shoving range a lot tighter. Possible KK/AA + some AK.

I agree with 4b/f being an option. I think people get too attached to AKo after 4betting. It's a good hand to 4b because we have the best blockers and we don't mind getting called but if we get shoved on especially this deep and in these positions we are usually crushed unless you have a good read telling you otherwise.

If you're gonna bet this kind of hand I think you need to bet a little smaller on flop. 1/2 pot or even less will work better. I don't mind betting flop but check/calling and then re-evaluating on turn is my standard.

Without reads I'd probably call KK/AA. This could easily be a snap vs some villains though so if you see it happen at tables take a note if there's a showdown.

I think it's a good hand to check back but it's pretty close. Protection isn't too important here as all the hands that fold you have crushed besides a few AK combos.

After betting flop I would check back turn as I think it's a little less close now. Now he's probably folding 88/99/JJ and hit a set with TT. IF he has QTs in his range that's ahead as well. And he still has KQ/AQ. So you're really only ahead of spades and some of those combos may just shove on you. Once you get shoved on it's a clear fold to me.

I'd 4bet to ~19-21bb and fold to a shove from UTG/CO and obv get it in vs the fish. Pretty gross spot though and maybe that's not a great play but I feel like our hand is too strong to just fold but when we get shoved on we're in terrible shape.

I 3bet depolar in SB as well but KJo is the bottom of the range for me unless I have a read that btn is folding too much. But yeah it's probably not a big deal overall if you 3bet or not.

I agree that it would be a good topic for a video. There is probably quite a bit of difference in cbetting out of position as the preflop raiser vs the in position cold caller to cbetting as the button raiser vs the BB caller. A lot of different situations to cover.

+1

You're also raising MP in a 9handed game so ranges should be pretty strong from everyone. I mean it's pretty close but folding is definitely fine imo.

KTo is too loose preflop. I'd fold. As for the hand I think 3barrel is ok. Your broadway gutshot hands are pretty much the only hands you have on the river to bluff with. Don't think he would have folded 2pair though.

Hmmm pretty tough hand to play in my opinion. If we bet turn and shove river villain should call with AQ,QQ,AKo+AKs, AQs (maybe AQo but some players fold) and AJs+ATs.

It's hard to put a weight on all of those combos because sometimes they will play differently on previous streets but it seems to me that he'll have a full house about as often as he has a worse Ace and with you having the ace blocker he'll have it more often because you'll reduce his AJ-ATs combos from 4 to 2 without affecting QQ combos at all. So maybe a turn check would be good in this spot?
