Hey Garry I would like to get your thoughts on this spot

46:50 BBvBU 2BP facing double barrel, turn overbet with A8s
OTR You mention you would consider bluffing in villains shoes.
Do you think its good idea to bluff this spot after the turn overbet?
I mean when you look at the river size, which would be likely b75 - b100 then OOP needs to fold hands like AT AQ...on average 70%+ of all Ax TPs vs b75
Thats imo very unrealistic and I would guess this spot is not overfolded and likely overdefended from the TP region, especially when people say AQ = best Ax I have here, never folding, A8s unblocking all broadways = never folding,

Yeah for me, its very hard to see enough folds so I would just underbluff as IP.

Thank you for feedback Garry

40:00 Table 3, BBvBU 2bp facing turn b50 barrel that is mergy/weak
You face this turn merge a lot in this pool, so I would like to ask you, what would be the adjustments you would make vs the face up half pot size.
Would you just go very hard with the half pot here = weak and just raise the shit out of it?
Probably KQ and maybe KT and some other lower equity/cant call turn hands, can just try to attack?
Also think we should just raise KJ QJ but when I am in game I struggle to do that, raising very thin vs this size which is very likely around the hand he had.
I also expect him, if we raise 4-5x, to fold almost everytime.

34:00 in the replayer bottom right Q8s spot - probe b33 and barrel river b150
I think its very hard for you to get credit for a hand here once you block turn -> imo its perceived as 7x 6x 88 and just never Tx or better
So when you use b150 OTR it just looks full of shit
I would go with b33-75 again not to maximasi my fold equity, but to challenge his Ahighs KQ KJ to somehow defend properly vs smaller size, which is more consistent with the range we rep both realistically and perceived

Also interested if you ever use b33 probe with very strong hand - I mean you said it multiple times, pool is just too passive so using b33 with nutted hands makes not so much sense, when we dont expect to get raised both for thinner value and as bluff.
Interested if you try to "protect" the b33 size OTT in this spot

23:00 facing 4bet with AQo
I would like to hear your opinion on population in this pool - do they under4bet here? Are the 4bets too strong?
And so would you say that overfolding vs the 4bets is good starting point until I know the guy?

30:00 K5s UTG shortie fold - how much -EV would you take here? I mean AA are +0.56 so I would take around -10% of AA = -0.6. To me the pure ICMIZER range seems way too tight considering blinds coming up.

AJ hand is an eye opener for me. Had no idea that ICM would have such a massive impact here OTF nad OTT. Thx for that one!

First of all thx for the vid!

6:30+ the range construction for BS on BB vs your BU open I think is just super off in your assumptions -> who is 3b/calling off KQo or AJo -> these are jams. Imo his value part would be more like 99/TT AKo/AQo AQs AJs and then probably decent amount of offsuited garbage

Thx for the vid, very interesting for me, didnt put any work in BvB play with solvers

In the second hand when villain floats wide T7cc on 9x5s3s. He has massive stack and imo thats the main reason he called so wide OTF. If he had around your stack he folds more likely.

Last hand AJ against that weird 1/2pot lead from loosey goosey player, did you consider jamming turn? I mean if he has bunch of 43o 43s 63s 2xdiamonds 5x diamonds some QT floats with bfd it seems to be quite reasonable to just jam it especially with bounty in play. From my experience these type of players gamble hard and expect to get called by all of draws he leads with. + I believe that if he has some random weak Kx floats and now he hit the turn he likely doesnt lead so actually the amount of value : equity bluffs is weighted towards bluff quite heavily imo. What do you think about that?

Thx for the vid Ivan.
I think the ICM example with different stacks 6handed with 3stacks 5bb and one super short stack 1.5bb is just super extreme and would love to see something more common.

For me the key takeaway was when you said in cEV the EV of folding = 0, but in ICM because of other stacks (can bust, loose bunch of chips) the EV of folding can be higher than 0, therefore folding more and preserve stack is more important. Also the point with more people more room for others to punt -> playing tighter as mid stack better and 3handed the impact is again lower. Thank you for that!
