Really enjoy these videos :). Thanks

Great video. I like setting things to focus on before the session.

Hey guys, its definitely been too long since i posted. I was in Vietnam and Taiwan for a month from Feb. 20th to March 20th. Since being back I've just been a bit lazy to post. It took me about 2 weeks to get back in the swing of things after my vacation. I don't think ill be taking that long off poker again for a long time.

Going Pro
Anyway, as of March 6th I've committed to treating poker more like a career. I work full time as an independent contractor in construction so I come home completely exhausted a lot of days so its gets tough to put in as much volume as I would like but just gotta do what I can and make the most of it.

My initial goal is to play 3 hours per day on weekdays and 5 hours/day on Saturday, Sunday. That puts me at 25 hours a week. This coming Sunday will be 4 weeks since i went pro. Ideally i would have 100 hours of play time by then but i will definitely miss that by quite a margin. I will try to post next week with a full update on my first 4 weeks. The amount of hours I have put in has been kind of unacceptable I need to do much better over the next 4 weeks in this area. But in terms of how much money i could make i think the number is much higher than i initially thought so that is very nice.

See you guys next week.
Good Luck at the tables~

Holy shit dude. You really spoiled us with this one. I'm so fired up to study and build strategies with this framework. I know you have said and shown similar things in your other videos but seeing it presented like this hit me different.

Ouu yea i dont really know anything about deep solver but just looking at the pricing it seems like good value. You get 500 solves a month for the lowest price, on GTOwizard you only get 50 i believe.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Great video.

At 6:57 you check the KT on KJ5 out of position. Let's say this was a heads up pot vs the BTN only. How often are you betting a spot like this?
I feel like when I'm out of position in these situations I need to range check on almost any flop. This flop is one of the better flops for us but I still want to range check. Is this a bad idea?

I feel like its hard to balance my checking range if I have a betting range in those situations.

Thank you for any reply.
Good luck at the tables.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes I use GTO wizard but I want to be able to changes ranges and bet sizes so I can create a more realistic strategy for what's happening in my games.
So yea I been playing around with GTO+ more recently. It does the job just the interface is terrible compared to GTO wiz or Dojo, but I will have to live with it for now.

One of the best series on the site! Thank you.

Very informative video.
I really liked "when the rank of the board is terrible for you, you want it to be monotone" great, easy to remember rule of thumb.

Good stuff. :)

always good stuff from you

Yea I prefer just calling the 3b pre actually. Cause If he 5bjams then at best we are up against AK against most villians at 10NL. I think he would just call the 4b w/TT,JJ,QQ, and AQ. So probably only jamming AA,KK,AK pre, most 10NL players don't have a bluffing range when they 5bjam. I could be wrong but with no reads I'm not super happy to get in 100bbs pre at 10NL here.

But as played its kinda tough post flop here. I mean the hands in his range that we beat, he would probably check those down on this board(eg.JJ,AQ). He might take a stab on the Turn with AQ but its so unlikely he has that since we have QQ. But yea with no reads I guess we have to call once here postflop.

Well IMO we should raise big on the Flop. For a couple reasons, we don't want to give cheap Turn cards to all the broadway draws/FD's, and just going to the Turn 3-ways on such a wet board is pretty scary(maybe that's the same reason :P). So by raising we Iso the donk-better with his TP/SD/FD hands, when he 3bets we can get it in against a lot of draws and maybe he would get it in w/TPTK on this wet Flop if he is that kind of player.

As played on the River I think its tough to raise, with his small sizing he is looking for a call. A bunch of SDs and FDs got there so I don't think he is even betting two pair here. So at best he is block betting with a set? I guess. And he will probably fold to a raise with all the draws completing.

I do like the 1/3 pot cbet against more advanced villians maybe.

But at these stakes in a spot like this Ill just bet Flop, jam Turn. Bet enough on the Flop too have ~pot on T and jam it. Cause villians at 10NL are just hero calling way too much in general.

As played on the River I think you have to call. I mean we have near the top of our range right? We have played so weak up to this point in the hand. Its definitely not pleasant though.

I believe calling the F is better. The donk bet is almost pot size so the player behind will fold a large % anyway. And we avoid this gross click back.
On the Turn I would fold. He would have to have a ton of TPTK and NFD's(and some random I guess) for us to get close to 25% equity.

I'm thinking Cbet F, x/f T. with the Ah being the worst card in the deck for us I think its fine to fold. I think x/raising F is not good. I believe just cbetting is going to be best. There are so many hands you get value+protection from by betting and you avoid him checking back. Also I don't think there are that many bad cards on the T. Obviously any heart is not our favorite, but in reality the chance of him having 2 hearts in his hand isn't that high. And the straight cards at least connect with your hand as well. We can continue betting a lot of Turns and get called by all sorts of hands, even if this guy is a TAG this is still 10NL so people will be making bad calls here often enough.
