hi daniel,
35.54 not sure about checking the flop with 77 or in general with any pp from 66 to TT.
I just think this could be a protection cbet vs hands like KQ, QJs etc that folds, but maybe you can delay on turn and get the same result, i don't have a strong opinion, what do you think?
Also, if we check pp and small Ax on flop, our cbet range must become polarized, like AJ+ and stuff like QJs with backdoor as bluff. In this case, the size of cbet should be very big, like pot or something, even on a flop so dry, is that right?
thanks a lot

hi steve, i just copy the questions that i wrote the last time in the other video

4:41 how is your strategy vs MP which has 5 or 6% of coldcalling and 6-7% of 3betting vs UTG? (specially with AKof AKs QQ JJ, my guess is 4bet/fold 4bet/call 4bet/call fold)
11:12 why 2/3 pot size on all 3street? usually i bet much bigger on turn and river (close to pot), and maybe even on flop with kind of polarized range (onestly i'm not very sure about the frequencies)
21:21 same question, why these sizes flop and turn?

ok now that i just saw the correct video :D

28.44: not sure about river valuebet, it seems to me like the oppo has too much 6x and flushes and we don't have enough bluffs to valuebet so thin, i don't think we receive too many call from 98 or similar, but maybe i'm just too nitty.

31.10: i'm just wondering if we are not defending too much if we call this kind of hand on the turn, we have a ton of fd, two pair, Tx + gutshot, oesd and straights. I run a simulation on crev with these numbers:
- preflop call 50% (and 3bet 12 or whatever, that is just what i defend standard)
- flop raise 7% (2p+, some fd and some backdoor fd) and call 43%
and on turn we are calling 65% even if we fold AT KT and Q9. I don't know if/how i can share the file.

ehm, i really don't know what happened, it's like i just saw the part 2 of this video (it's the same nl 100 zoom live session with 2 table, but it's completely different of course, a bit longer than this one).
I check on your previous video and there isn't anyone in this format, maybe there was a mistake on uploading the right video on the site? (i don't know if it's possible, but it's very strange, maybe i had hallucination) :D
If you had already rec a part 2, can you check if these hands exist please? :D (the first was utg open, mp 3bet and you are in bb, the second was a KQ 3barrell on JxxxA, don't remember the 3rd)

hi ben, 2 questions:

22.41: do you think cbetting>>>check with 78? i usually put this hand in checking range, i prefer to bet A8 or K8 but i don't have a strong opinion on that. What kind of hands do you check back besides small Qx or JJ?

35:15 What do you do on a turn blank like a 2h? Because i feel like if we jam with a pot size bet we are overplaying our hand and get called only by AQ, KQs...on the other hand maybe the check is too week, i don't know.

thanks a lot

hi steve,

4:41 how is your strategy vs MP which has 5-6 of coldcalling and 6-7 of 3betting vs UTG? (specially with AKof AKs QQ JJ, my guess is 4bet/fold 4bet/call 4bet/call fold)

11:12 why 2/3 pot size on all 3street? usually i bet much bigger on turn and river (close to pot), and maybe even on flop with kind of polarized range (onestly i'm not very sure about the frequencies)

21:21 same question, why these sizes flop and turn?

hi steve,
first hand on CREV: let's say that we have a raising range on the turn with A9 99 77 or whatever, how this will affect our calling range on the 3barrell?
First question: I'm not sure, but i think that if we have a raising range in the previous streets, we could/should defend less than 1-a on the river, right? I also don't know if it's possible to calculate how much less.
Secondly, what do you think about A5 in this case?We have a much weaker range on the river vs 3barrell (but we have also much less combo in the range with we arrive on the river), do you think A5 should enter in our bluffcatching range?
Thanks a lot

i also don't understand why daniel thinks that the 8 is so bad for our range as we have more Tx than QJ KQ AJ + backdoor type of stuff.
however, as we have a ton of Tx to defend + some fd, i think the 77 is on the bottom of our range even on the 8 turn, and so the call is very arguable (on daniel's simulation if we fold 77 we are still defending 57% that seems close enough to me)

hi Tyler,
i know this is a very generic question, maybe it's also stupid or it's impossible to answer, but i'll try anyway.
Let's take for example the 75s hand, you say that you cbet small because in this way oppo's should defend a lot more on flop and so he could be unconfortable on the turn with a very wide range and he could make a big mistake. Now the question is: how can you assume, on an almost unknown player, if he is going to call much more on flop (and so you can take advantage on his wide turn range) or if he will simply call the same range on flop (and so you have a very high ev on your flop bet, but then on turn you have to be aware of his tight range to not burn money in -ev bluffs)?
So i think the question could be recap as "how do you assign the range to your oppo" :D i know you can study in post sessions reviewing hm database and so on, but it's very difficult to get a clear idea, specially in strange situation like this (not a lot of players cbet 1/3 pot, so it's difficult to know how someone could respond to that)

btw, the discussion at the beginning of the video (how much you can c/f based on how often you cbet, also on turn and river) could be very interesting, i would like a lot to see something on this :)

32:30, the 4bet pot with AJ
strange spot, it's not a value bet because i don't see any worse hand calling but it's neither a bluff because it's difficult to make fold better hands like AT (which he didn't fold, maybe he should?)

what do you think about c/c river, is it possible that a competent player could change a hand like KQ or JT into a bluff?
Furthermore, as you are so in trouble on a complete river blank, i have lots of doubts on the turn bet. I think it should be a clear value bet because the oppo can calls with a lot of pair + draws, but then again i don't know what to do on most rivers.

Recently @Daniel Dvoress made a good video on river merging bet, i don't know if you have seen it, but to me it seems a similar situation on the extreme level (not a lot of worse hands/none that pays + not a lot of better hands that fold + lower EV and guessing game when checking river after 2barrell if the oppo is capable of bluffing)

same hand, what do you think about leading the river?i don't know how many bluffs could we have to balance it, but to me it looks like the oppo will often check back with a lot of his value/protection range (Kx, 8x, TT, 99) and bet only with flush..of course we loose value vs his bdfd bluffs, but i don't think it is a problem

min 34:40: don't you think that the big part of oppo's range is 77-QQ + 2 combos of 67s, and so we are kind of autovaluebetting us even if he calls with 6x, 55 or AQ?
