Phil, you and your videos are awesome. The way you articulate your thoughts and reasons make your videos pure gold. Thank you for all that you do here.

My background is in NLHE 6 max. I've played quite a bit of PLO tournaments but have recently started playing a lot of PLO 6 max cash. In your videos you are able to put players on much more specific hand ranges than I am able to in the heat of the moment. For example, while playing a hand I might think to myself "there's a flush draw and 2 straight draws, he bet so he probably has either a good draw or strong made hand". Other than putting in more study and practice, is there anything you would suggest doing to improve my hand range and hand reading skills during game play? I apologize if this is too general of a question, but it always amazes me at how honed in you are in with your reads.

Thanks again!

Yes, I also would like to see a video on specifically exploiting unbalanced players

Hey Sauce, great vid as usual. My question is At the 22 minute mark against a villain that probes turn at a high frequency are you checking the set of 10's back more than you are cbetting it? and with the J turn specifically if you did check the flop and he probes turn would you be raising the set of 10's there at a high frequency? or is just cbetting and barrelling a much better play in general?

Great vids Garrett, Ive been a live pro for close to 8 years now and you def have opened my eyes to some things that I prob would never have thought of. With that being said one thing that comes to mind that might actually help you sometimes maybe is say I want to know what an opponents holdings from a hand we had earlier. I will wait till they win a big pot and kind of banter back and forth and kind of in a round about way get them to tell me what they had in the earlier hand. Straight asking them what they had will usually cause them to shut down. I totally believe that they are way more likely to give off info if they are in a good mood from the huge hand they just won. Just like if someone was in a bad mood from a lost hand they would be less likely to tell us anything.
There are a couple other live tells that I feel are somewhat reliable that maybe you could test in your games.

1. Someone sitting up in their chair, specifically right when they look at their hand for the first time or when the flop hits, like you said its not 100% but it def means something.

2. When early pos is not the pre flop raiser and they tank check in a multiway pot.

3. When someones attention is genuinely diverted after they look at their hole cards. Strong hands want to know whats up with all the action.

Anyways there are a million more but these are the ones that come to mind. Thoughts????

Again thanks for everything

Great vid Garrett, no complaints here. Two question, on the 85384 board. Hypothetically lets say the same spot arises, say next orbit. Similar flop turn river and post flop action etc. Is your bluffing frequency going up or down on the river given the history of what just went down with the QQ? Maybe thinking something like "i just got caught, no way he thinks ill run another one right now" type thinking...

What are your thoughts on how the majority of recreational players react after winning a huge pot? Its my opinion that we have significantly more fold equity directly after they rake, obv it varies player to player but in general whats your opinion on this matter? Kinda of like they are in a good mood and satisfied with their current situation so it seems easier for them to just let the medium sized pots go easier?????
