If Ben 3bets 15% and shoves everything with a tiny bit equity at least (i chose 45+ for every gutter, 56+ for every openender, cc for every fd and 3+ for every pair) and we run this in propokertools we get 37,7% equity
we need 40%
So it seems like Phil is lacking 2,5% in a 100bb pot ( with spr 1,5 u need 40%) meaning hes losing 2,5BB by getting it in.
Doubt history plays much a role it might be the case that Phil thought Ben is gonna play different with hands as strong as the AA+nfd that Ben happened to have. It actually might even be the case that Ben choses a different line at least sometimes with those handtypes who knows. If you can exclude some tophands Phils stackoff gets better to the point where it might even be +ev.

In the AAT6 hand starting at minute 30
Do you really believe a solid player is gonna c/r turn and get it in with any hands that your hand is better than say 60% against. It seems superbad for him to stack off lowsets or even a hand like toptwo+fd. So he will have very few combodraws that you wont have in such bad shape and than 68xx hands that you are doing very poorly against. I would also not assume that he has a superbig bluffingrange here on the turn given that you guys are deep and you should have a lot of hands in your barrelingrange that can stand a chance. Also your Alexo18 so people probally expect that u peel turns light to c/raises and play tough on rivers.
It seems way better to peel the turnraise and play rivers tough in position.

nice video. would like to see the rest of the live session, too. :)

just wanna leave the obligatory comment saying this video was super awesome and thank you so much for doing that much work for us

It doesn´t matter how good someone is, it matters how big the skill difference is. So for a 100plo reg it makes as much sense to defend light in a spot vs another reg as for you if you play vs a 25/50 reg of same skill level.
Would you say that statement is true?

QQ88ss Hand min 28.:

I allowed myself to run some math on this spot, against pretty much all reasonable ranges (AA+AKK, ~ plus ABBB$ds, ~ plus T987+$ds) your EV on calling is approximately 4bb or 400$ and you can stack off when you flop 34,5% or more equity against his range.

So calling was the right decission :)

Great video as always by the way !

shouldn't really matter as he is gonna have most if not all AA combos in the assigned 4bet range.

you´re one of the few coaches where livevideos are better than theory videos

goob job

thoughts on limpin a lot in that icm situation
especially when u have between 18-40bb it is supertough to isolate you because you could be limp/raising and vs people that dont overfold their blinds too much ur not giving up that much
this way you lower the risk of busting a lot

supergood and interesting stuff

every video of that kind is highly appreciated eventhough its ovious you cant do it everytime given it is a lot more work than live play

your theory videos are exceptional good

as you already touched quite a bit on being the PFR I would welcome if you could do sth about being the preflop caller, how to attack flop and turns effectively, which ranges to float etc

Min 28 8322:

What do you think about checking back the flop? I think it hurts our hand a lot if we are gonna get raised here (propably won't happen too often but the times it does it's no fun), we also had a lot of deception for the times we hit the wheel or the upper straight, we also don't have to fold any turns and keep some of his weaker draws in his continuing range that might give us some action on later streets assuming we would cbet all or most better lowdraws OTF (e.g. 752 hands).

hand1 44:

If we assume villain is a solid player I dont think he has as many worse hands as u think
He probally has zero 2x/3x flatting vs a very good player who he is deep against from the SB

He also doesn´t have as many flushdraws compared to all the midpairs (he might even flat up to KK because he is oop preflop) that he will just autocall on the turn

I kinda disagree with ur turnbet or at least find the spot a lot closer than you,

make more videos your awesome ;)

In the flushhand at 53 I think u lose a lot of value against the typical lowstakesfish
Making assumptions like that flushdraws fold the flop against a single bet are IMO just wrong and thought on a bit of a too high level. Looking forward for more Elite Plo Videos of you or other bosses.

after seeing oddsens videos i just stopped folding and it has worked out ;)
