"the range displayed is BB's calling range. Anything missing from high up is either jamming or 3betting non-ai. so KK for example not being there doesn't mean it's jamming, it just means it's not calling"

right, my point was I don't see a 3b bluff range but I guess it's the low off suit Ax mixing jams and 3b folds? I was thinking it'd be more K-J x off suit combos

re: preflop ranges from the BB, I don't see a 3b bluff range carved out which leads me to believe KK+ AQs+ are just jamming pre? what stack depth are you starting to 3b non ai? also if ur not 3b'ing non ai I'd think flatting AA and KK are higher EV. great series regardless, hopefully see you in vegas (but not at the tables ;) )

@philgalfond give this guy a raise

@8:30 we're aggressively betting this flop because IP doesn't flat offsuit 2x. What are some counterintuitive flops that we'd have a high check frequency on? or, if you see a great board in chip EV are you still just going to range bet? given the chip distribution I feel like his range will be much stronger and denser than ours and boards that are usually good for OOP might become range checks now that we're opening wide, jamming a lot, and he should be flatting most of his overpairs (but I don't have the data to support my theory).

@23:35 you say you're playing K6dd more aggro on J22r than Kh5s on Q22hhs, can you expound on that? I was under the impression that the opposite was true (although I'm not entirely sure why.. I suppose because with Kh5s IP only has 2 bdfd's one of which we have a relevant blocker to (not considering 5s) whereas on J22r he has 3 bdfd's and we still only block 1 bdfd which is now 1/3 instead of 1/2).

I play very little PLO but still find this video very informative and entertaining. Plus, I can imagine how much work you put into each video running every sim for every hand you play, so kudos to you. Just curious, why is short stacking so prevalent in these games?

Ranges:
Are the QJs/A5s IP 4bjams like AKo, or OOP 5bjams? In any case, QJs should not feature as a jam preflop for 100blinds in a ring format without ante's/straddles

For what it's worth Luke Johnson QJs 4bet jams. The ranges are from Uri Peleg's site who is seemingly reputable. I'd post a screenshot but I don't think sharing the ranges would be appropriate. So yea, facing SB 3bet something like AKo, QJs, A5s, TT are heavy 4betjams, and AA is only 50% 4bet non-all in and 50% slow play.

awesome vid luke, really helped make my insomnia productive :). 2 questions: 1) after creating a subtree, how do you go back to the flop with full ranges? 2) I recently bought "high stakes" ranges from a reputable pro's website and the ranges were very surprising e.g., AKo 75% 4bet jam BTN vs SB, QJs close to pure jam BTN vs SB, A5s 50% jam BTN vs SB, and TT pure in same positions, and AA slow playing quite a bit as well in the same positions. I believe the logic was based around pure 4betting AKo makes our range very unbalanced postflop? Anyway, have you seen this strategy been implemented and/or have any thoughts on it?

June 25, 2021 | 3:28 p.m.

Great content. Upon watching the video there was a hand early on that I had a question about, but didn't ask you in case more interesting spots came up later. Unfortunately, upon skimming through the video again I can't find it :(. It was a BTN vs BB srp, and I believe the flop was J86, J85, J84, or J75 with a flush draw (something like that). I was surprised and slightly frustrated to hear you say it was a range bet with the small size, because that's not what I would do and more importantly reduces my confidence in my heuristics: i.e. many gutters but no straight we large bet or check on the flop. If you remember this spot (I don't expect you to comb through your video again of course) can you tell me the properties of this flop that make it a range bet given the positions? Are there positions where my thinking would be correct? Also, re: a comment above that your analyses are too detailed, I completely disagree, have been eating up and enjoying all your content, and love this format as well. Being specific with frequencies at all nodes is helpful to players trying to mimic your playing style.

June 10, 2021 | 5:52 p.m.

great video alex :). @26:42 how do you approach these spots when trying to find a balanced iso raise strategy? of course the top of our range benefits from making it 3.5x-4x, but what hands do we put in there to happily raise fold facing a limp jam? Would the hand class for a SB r/f vs the btn limp be the same for the BB r/f when btn limps and sb completes?

Comment | shadyoc5 commented on How I Study HH's

@29:22 your comparing the different OOP EVs when using 2/3 or 1/3 made me realize that I might have been making a large mistake for some time now: when simplifying trees I typically just go with the most prevalent size, but I'm assuming it's more important to create subtrees and compare the EVs? Good to know. Thanks for an awesome video again.

May 28, 2021 | 10:59 p.m.

great stuff. re: bluff catching being mandatory if we beat value; what if we're playing with a bad/passive player who massively under bluffs, and we only beat 1 combo of value? What if we assume villain never bluffs and we only beat 1 combo of value and it's a large bet? In these extreme situations does the heuristic still hold up?

are these concepts that u stumble upon by fooling around with pio or did somebody better than you at the time give you this knowledge? I use pio quite a bit and enjoy it, but there are so many trends and patterns that I miss because of how complex it is.

dude awesome video keep it up

May 18, 2021 | 8:43 p.m.

He's responded to this before. He said it doesn't affect the accuracy of the sims.

Feb. 12, 2021 | 5:28 p.m.

+1 to this. IIRC, Pio is pure x/r vs the b150 w A8, and doing a healthy amount with weaker kickers as well. I think in practice many players won't have much of a x/r range here at all aside from sets, which weirdly Pio prefers calling. That said, I still thought the video was great.

Feb. 8, 2021 | 9:02 p.m.

Great video. Off the top of your head do you know what the spr threshold pio, or you personally, likes to jam vs 150%, 2x, 2.5x pot? Of course it also depends on how favorable or unfavorable the runout is, but sometimes in SRP it just seems awkward ripping 3x or 4x pot on the river and it seems that a smaller overbet is equally effective. Any experience with this?

Feb. 4, 2021 | 11:20 p.m.

Have you seen pio ICM/FT sims where the large stack does very little flatting/bb defending when there are one or more very short, constraining stacks remaining at the table? BBZ has a preflop ICM course which details how the computer likes to play FTs and it's seemingly very counterintuitive to how most humans play. I'm curious if you think this concept applies at 48:57, and if so if your hand could make a decent reshove bluff as well? Either way, great video once again :).

Jan. 31, 2021 | 7:45 p.m.

Great video thanks Ben. One concept I've been struggling with is x/r sizing. Do you have a suggestion for an effective way to study those spots? Could you (theoretically) do a Pio script similar to the scripts where you find the appropriate flop size and frequency for cbetting but for x/r'ing instead?

Jan. 8, 2021 | 1:43 a.m.

great video thank you. @10:00 you delve into your BB strat vs SB limp at a deeper stack depth a little; at all stacks depths are you ISOing polar with the junky hands like K5o, Q4o, J5o, 84o etc? Or should they at least be suited at the deeper stack depths? Secondly, @24:08, you say you don't have AK in your range, is your plan preflop to 4bet call at those stack depths with AK -- if so seems very borderline.

Dec. 24, 2020 | 6:28 a.m.

Awesome video thanks. @28:29 you say your hand has too much equity to want to mainly bet in fear of not being able to call a x/r and thus being blown off its equity. If that's the case, what hands do you want to bet as a bluff OTT that you're not too upset with bet folding? Since you got x/r OTF all of your hands that get to the turn will have some equity of course. And of course I mean theoretically since you highlighted that villain was a weaker, more passive opponent.

Dec. 23, 2020 | 10:02 p.m.

top stuff mate

Dec. 18, 2020 | 5:30 p.m.

Great video thank you Alex :). In the last hand, did it surprise you that IP was barreling with high equity draws on the turned board-pairing Q? I was under the assumption that most flush draws and open enders wanted to check back more often than not and realize their equity with such a low SPR. Is IP’s turn range a result of the board pairing and OOP playing more passively facing a turn bet?

Nov. 23, 2020 | 11:14 p.m.

Great video. @47:56 why don't you include a block bet size on the river for OOP? As somebody who plays lots of MTTs this struck me as odd.

Oct. 8, 2020 | 2:53 a.m.

Also, why do you go through the sim before pressing the strategy tab?

Oct. 1, 2020 | 3:04 a.m.

@8:30, when showing OOP range, any idea why solvers prefer to flat 89s? I bought HU ranges as well from range converter and the same thing applies. Kinda weird that it's that specific combo.

Sept. 29, 2020 | 11:22 p.m.

Great video Daniel. Congrats on your recent success. Responding a little bit late to this one because I got pretty back logged with a bunch of different coaches' content and am just now going through your series. @17:35 (hand where PFA bets half pot on KK6r, gets two calls, turn checks through and button bets roughly pot on river) does that seem like a reasonable size? If he has so few bluffs is he "allowed" to go that big?

Sept. 11, 2020 | 10:27 p.m.

Loved the vid. Why so few 3bet folds for BB? Also would love to see this at different stack depths.
