0.4bb for checkback? Sick, i didn't think, it would be that high.
Where can i find this equilibrium solution?

Hey Steven.
Cool video.
If you limp 79% and only call 16% at 15bb stacks, BB can shove anytwo.
72o = +0.25bb
72s = +0.5bb
Isnt that pretty exploitable?

So, if anyone plays the same strategy, GTO isn't = 0EV?
Oct. 22, 2015 | 10:47 a.m.
I'm the one who says that -ev spots dont exist in GTO.
He say the game is about -ev and +ev spots = 0EV
It's true that GTO is 0EV, but that dont mean there exist -ev spots.
He dont understand that playing e.g K4o in the BB for -75/100 is a +ev spot, not a -ev spot.
He says that a balancede range contains -ev and +ev hands, which, again, is wrong.
How the hell do i explain the idiot that? :D
I guess i hoped to get some RIO "celebrities" and very respected persons to agree with me.
That might help convince him.
Ty for the answer BigFiszh.

Hello RIO,
I have a little discussion with a "friend", so i hope you guys can help.
Does -ev spots exist in GTO?

Good video, Cameron.

- U bet small, about 33% potsize, but by doing that, you give villain the correct odds to call with hands like 77.
Is that a good idea? Why not ½ potsize? Is it because you didnt know if he was a fish at that time, or?

Steve, what's wrong with this calc?
If BB fold 42% of the time, the calc will be:
(0.42 * 5.5) + (0.58 * -2.75) = 0.715bb
+ the 1bb from our 5d3d equity
= +1.715bb by c-betting.
But checking is 1.3bb.
Shouldn't BTN always c-bet then?
May 3, 2015 | 2:47 p.m.
Yeah, it seems I described it pretty bad.
When hero opens 2x from BTN, he will lose money preflop by opening because BB and SB defend to wide to make a 0% equity hand profitable preflop.
So, then we lose money preflop, we need to win them back postflop, otherwise it wouldnt make sense to open the 0% equity hand.
Even tho the c-bet breakseven, the hand still lose money because of the preflop opening.
March 30, 2015 | 4:28 p.m.
Yes, there is some misunderstanding.
Because a cbet is profitable doesnt mean the hand is profitable.
I'm thinking about pre- and postflop, not just postflop.
"This is totally independent of preflop play"
Exactly. When you open, you will lose 2bb preflop and those 2bb i want in the equation.
I'm just using 0% equity hand as example.

Hello RIO.
I'm trying to find out, how much villain needs to fold postflop to make a 0% equity hand profitable.
Ignore rake and blockers. Hero cbet 50% potsize.
Hero(BTN) open 2x.
SB 3b 15% and fold 85%.
BB 3b 15%, call 50% and fold 35%.
=
3b 27.75%
call 42.5
fold 29.75%
0.2775(-2) + 0.2975(1.5) = -0.1087
That's the 3b and fold, now i need the 42.5% call added to the equation and the c-bet fold. Anyone can help?
x should be = How much villain needs to fold to c-bets to make a profit with 0% equity.
If you dont understand, then i will try to explains it a little better.
March 29, 2015 | 6:25 p.m.
Yes, you're right, IamIndifferent. My mistake.
It's + -0.1087, not + 0.1087.
@Steve Paul
The "R", we have calc is how much equity we need to realize, right?
So a hand that has 50% equity vs BBs callrange, needs to relize at least 100% of it's equity to be a profitable open?
March 13, 2015 | 12:55 p.m.
Done. I have updated the first calc.
March 13, 2015 | 10:50 a.m.
I can only reply to myself..?
March 12, 2015 | 2:15 p.m.
March 12, 2015 | 2:15 p.m.
Awesome, thanks :)
March 12, 2015 | 12:53 p.m.
Thank you, Steve. Now i get it all :)
Updated version(again):
BTN(hero) open to 2bb.
SB defend only by 3-betting with a 15% range.
BB defend with 15% 3-bet, 50% call and 35% fold.
Get 3b 27.75% of the time - lose 2bb
Get a fold 29.75% - win 1.5bb
Get a call 42.5% of the time - ???
EV = 0.2775(-2) + 0.2975(1.5) + 0.425*x
EV = 0425.x + -0.1087
EV = 0.425x + -0.1087
EV = 0.425x(4.5R - 2) + -0.1087
EV = 1.91R - 0.9587
R = 0.50
March 12, 2015 | 11:56 a.m.
I have looked at it the equation the last 3 days and still cant figure it out, sorry :D
Time stamp 31:00, it says:
EV = 0.133(-8) + 0.5(4) + 0.367*x
If x = -2.5425, then the result = +0.0029bb, if we realize 100% of EV with 72o, right?
Or is it +0.0029% of the pot, we win?
March 9, 2015 | 2:30 a.m.
Cool. Thanks for the reply.
The time stamp is 32:20, for the '6.79R - 2'.
March 8, 2015 | 7:10 p.m.
Awesome video, Steven.
I got a few question:
1) Where does the number '6.79R - 2' comes from?
2) If villain is OTB open 2.5x and play fold 50%, 4b 13.3% and call the rest.
I 3b 72o from BB to 9x. If 72o realize 100% of it's postflop equity, it will be a breakeven play.
Do I understand it correcly?
Sorry for my bad english.

Hello Jason,
Do u mind tell me where u bought the leatherjacket u wear on the frontpage?
It's fine, if u want dont to :P
May 22, 2014 | 2:48 a.m.
Amazing video imo. I learned a lot.
What would you do, if he barrel on the turn? isnt AK better to call down than JJ since AK block his overpairs, or how do calling down with AK affect our range?
Thx a lot for the video!
May 21, 2014 | 11:04 p.m.

- What hands could he be reraising with as bluff? Do u guys think villain got AJo in his range, AcJx?
Should villain be rerasing with a hand like AhJh as bluff?
I know, the shove over his reraise is gonna work a very little time for to be profitable, but vs a range of 77 and flushdraws, TT is screwed.
If we give him 22 and 33 it's just gettin even worse.
For the shove to be profitable, i think he should have at least 5 combos as bluff, no?
May 8, 2014 | 8:57 a.m.
I thought it was "std" to 3-bet AK vs MP, but call vs UTG.
Most people at NL100+ these days, have a 18%+ openrange MP, or thats what i see for the most part, but maybe i'm wrong?
Ty for the answer and it makes alot of sense.
Looks like i cant replay to your post?
April 30, 2014 | 9:57 p.m.
Hey James,
Thx for the video, i liked it.
36:00
- What is the best hand to triple barrel bluff with in a spot like that?
Would u do it with QhJh?
- It blocks KhQh, KhJh, QQ og JJ, which all are hands that he calls down with, right?

Pokerstove was taken down?
Sounds weird, my pokerstove works fine..
April 11, 2014 | 10:04 p.m.
You are opening T9o and J9o, but not 97s in the CO. Why not?
Great first video!
I'm from Denmark, one of the most expensiv countries in the world, and here 50k should be fine to make a decent living.
In Denmark, we have very high taxes, so 50k(tax-free) would be something like 80k(taxable).
Obv, if you're gonna stop working as a pokerplayer at the age of 40, then it's probably not the best idea - at least not in Denmark.
Poker is also tax-free in Denmark.
