First time watching your videos Callum and I really enjoyed them! I play live myself so this is def interesting! Thank you

That is a really sick turn fast call with JT. I'm thinking what about leading turn for you, because the Whale will presumably call every Kx and Qx and draws. But if it goes X X and Reg bets and you XR, maybe Whale gets pushed out with weak made hands.

Nice video! Have you used DTO to drill for MTTs? If so how do you compare?

Thanks Sam!

If you think your opp is not bluffing enough, does this change your plan with TT-JJ, KQs, and AQo?

Hi Sam, thanks for the great video!

Regarding the AJs hand that you called vs a 7bb 3bet, I've been thinking about whether or not folding would be better

Do you assume villain has a balanced range? Or is he just trying to play this specific hand this way to avoid being called OOP? If he just has a tightish range due to the fact you are the CL, what about just exploiting this and folding AJs

Once we call, the pot will be bloated to 30bb, which in our spot I feel like as CL we prefer to grind down the middle stacks in smaller pots than playing these rly big pots

What would you do with other combos such as TT,JJ,AQo,KQs?

Thanks!

Over the years I've kind of decided that even if a logically good play doesn't work out against this specific reg at this specific time, the fact that he has this kind of thought process will lead him to bleed plenty in many different other spots. I believe its kind of impossible to be max exploiting a player in all spots, and as a result keep on going back to the decision unavoidably biased due to 20/20 vision

Not sure if my message was clear. What do you think about this thought process Luke Johnson

Hi Luke Johnson awesome video!

Would you mind sharing the specs that's needed to build a machine specifically for simming?

Thanks!

I feel like we have a lot of worse hands we can cbet the flop as a bluff here where Q8 is kind of strong enough to try to take to showdown? I feel like if we bet Q8 here we can possibly be cbetting too much vs. an aggro player?

I don't find this kind of video dry. In fact, I quite enjoy them. I think the takeaways are very valuable if watched with close attention.

I would love to see more videos in such detailed format. Thanks Sauce and GL!

Thanks! Great video, I would love to see multiple parts on this

It seems like Sauce was capitalizing on the fact that you didn't cr him at all on the flop iirc. I think Pio's response would be to develop a decent portion to cr him

We certainly need to be defending more vs such small sizing but seems like just calling more falls directly what he is trying to accomplish. All his marginal value hands now realize more equity than they previously did. I think this is a situation we need to be taking some conventional x/c hands to cr him even tho we are not used to or comfortable doing that.

I think this strategy from Sauce is strong because its impossible to make such ranges on the fly. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your response Kevin.

I think you make a great point that most of your smart opponents would adjust at least "ok" vs your small sizing. I keep forgetting that my villains are weak Chinese players that would adjust quite poorly to a different sizing.

Thanks!

thanks for a great video. i'm def guilty of making assumptions too early

29:15 on 349r you choose a pot sized cbet here. I'm finding contradictory examples using Pio solver because it seems like villain's response to this sizing is intuitively more straight forward than say if we used a 1/3 sizing. Basically I looked in similar boards in Pio and when I choose this sizing with my range villains' defending range seems fairly "standard" in line with what most ppl would do, however, vs small sizings not only does he need to defend hands that may seem counter-intuitive to some, he also needs to add in quite a bit of check raises, which doesn't seem to happen often enough for most villains

in general i feel like ppl would make bigger mistakes vs 1/3 than vs 1 on these textures, what are your thoughts on this?

Hi Daniel, enjoyed this video and would welcome more videos that look at intuitively "difficult spots" in a theoretical way. Really cool to see we fold KK and call more QQ on turn...

on your flop sizing for both oop cbet and ip bet vs skipped cbet, did you run multiple sizings and resulted in choosing one best sizing, ie 50% on flop or did you just input it?

Thanks!

Congrats on the 5k ITM! Quite a sweat ha! Thanks for the video, enjoyed it!

Would definitely want to see a video on bluff-stacking pls~

Hi Sam, thanks for a great video :) some questions

8:50 tbl 2 - dont' you think he checks quite a bit of his lower Ax's on the flop? and with river spr 1.5 and we repping pretty polar, what about just shoving here?

11:26 tbl 3 - given this guy seems to be a bit more aggro? what about checking back the flop here with QJo or even using a smaller sizing. i feel like this specific combo in this stack depth our hand is very vulnerable to a cr unless we plan to bet/3bet

40:02 tbl 3 - yes i agree don't like his line given he shouldn't have much hands he wants to go 3 streets with. i play against some really fishy players so i believe the mentality is they just shove and hope u dont have it because they dont know any better. in this sense would shoving turn be even worse? because they just gona call off an overpair or do you feel the opposite

53:48 tbl 2 - we are risking 22k to win 70k and i feel like we have a ton of equity when the A hits for him to potentially bluff us too much on that card? would that make it worthy of a call

Hi Ben, great video and i think its a good idea to be mixing this kind of simple strat video sometimes.

I have a question regarding your preflop btn vs ep. you folded 77 to a 3x and said you would be 3betting 88's here. aren't these hands just perfectly fine to be flatting as part of our calling range? can you explain why 3bet > call here? is this due to the 3x sizing?

Hi Daniel, thanks! I very much enjoyed the video. I would love to see more Pio videos from you.

Question, ok so now that you've found out in Pio that betting 100% is pretty decent strategy, do you actually go to the tables and start applying this? or do you stilll revert to the more complicated traditional strategy.

Currently I'm having a bit of problem taking some conclusive lines from Pio onto the felt and I feel its a psychological thing due to the brain's conditioning process. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi, been toying around with these AI's and I think they are the nuts. I want to hear your thoughts comparing snowie and say PioSolver. What do you think the differences are between them?

Really enjoy the Pio videos especially with regards to sizing. Please keep them coming!

I feel like learning on the spot isn't that suitable for a video as there is a lot of video time wasted. I'd encourage videos with sufficient knowledge of how to use said software so you can educate us in the video.

I definitely agree with this. Far too much rambling and very difficult to follow with the mouse flickering and not fixed at a certain strategy for more than a couple seconds

Very much appreciate a follow up video to look at human strategy vs. Pio. I'm starting to dabble more with Pio so I'm very welcome to more Pio based videos :)

Thanks!

Hi Tyler, thank you for the video! Enjoyed it

37:00 You mentioned that it is a mistake for you to check K2o here on the river. In the current games I am playing, players often overcall on this particular river because every conceivable draw missed. And I wouldn't be check raising just bare Kx. Thus like you said I underbluff here a lot. So given we block Kx and 22 I love the check. I find myself never bluffing river here due to population tendency. Do you think this could potentially be a problem or is it a good deviate?

Last hand 85cc I see that your flop check raise is quite small. 67 into 24. Howcome not a bigger sizing?

I also noticed the last hand was an ante table. It is 3/6/1.2. My friend told me a way to calculate which is (3+6+1.2)*(2/3) = 6.73 which means the effective big blind you are playing is 3.36/6.73 in which a 12 raise would only be a 1.78bb raise. So when defending my blinds I would then be looking at defending frequencies suitable vs a 1.78bb raise. Is this an ok way to approach a loser defending range for ante games?

Great video Tyler. I enjoyed this format. Please keep them coming! Thanks

This is where PioSolver comes into play. If you play with it you will realize 77 is often used as a mixed strategy on this turn given betting or checking will both net a v similar EV

Nice video Steve, enjoyed it. I would welcome more software based videos.

As far as choosing a software to work on, is there any specific reason you chose Pio over GTO RB or simple postflop?

Nice video again Ben, Thanks!

32:38 Tbl 3 - 97o on JT2r vs utg. calling cbet here? aren't we dominated a lot when we turn cards that we want to see?

Also you mentioned that some of these players' mistakes are that they play their hand more instead of their range. If I wanted to improve on this specific aspect, how would you recommend going about it? Is there a specific software I should be playing around with?

Thanks again!

Great video Ben. Really enjoyed this one. Particularly liked the fact that you specifically commented on your opponents good/bad plays. Keep it going! Thanks!

cool Juan. Thanks for your response!

Hi Juan, enjoy your videos as usual. Thanks

31:47 tbl 1. you fold J9dd in SB vs mp open and co and btn both flat 3x raise. is this not a good hand to call preflop since it plays well multiway?

36:13 tbl 1. the 22 hand. I understand everything you said in the previous posts above, however, BB is deanosupremo and just looking at his stats he seems like the exact type of villain that should sway us to be folding 22 and 33 here? Also, on the flop cr, your value range is only 22 33 and bluffing with flush draws i assume, since all your better Kx's like AK, QK are 3bet pre. maybe we don't want a check raising range here on this particular board?
