I selfishly would love to see you do a live play video where you play a super exploitative/animal style. The GG sessions are great but that doesn't reflect the game conditions I play at all. Perhaps a low stake session or maybe a spot where you are run away chip leader on FT/bubble? Anyway, good stuff, I'm gonna re up next month.

good video, I learned a lot. I really got alot out of comparing how you would play a spot at 50bbs to how you would play same spot at 100bbs.

This is my favorite video format yet good work.

At about 10 mins mark, you get into a nice discussion about HU SS. In video you advocate for a limp with AJT3r great. Would this limp change in a micro/ very high rake environment? Let's assume the villain in this example doesn't 3b nearly enough pre.

At the end of the video, you said at an SPR og 5 you need about 53% equity to c/r. How can I calculate the math of that spot on my own?

I got alot out of this ty. Would love any plo tournament content I can get

lol dog

I thought the first 12 minutes were hilarious, welcome change of pace

More please

i got alot out of that thanks

Let Jesus take the wheel bro

Been away for a few months and good say i like that new jazzy photo of you. Your videos are the truth obv keep it up

First! Let the yawns begin !!!

Love your videos, I watch everyone. I haven't watched this one yet but I'm going to set the line at over/under 1.5 yawns and will take the over. Keep up the good work mate

Hey TY,

This video rocks thank you so much. @ around 20 mins in you talk about limping sometimes versus a raise only strat. From what i understand the main cons of choosing a limping strat is that the BB will be able to win back some portion of his equity and the rake will make it hard to make it better than going raise only PRE. These are great points that I have not really considered.

It would seem that this exact same logic can be applied to live FR NL. Do you play a limp along strategy live( or in my case a 200bb cap, 6$ capped drop, general relatively soft field comparatively) ? You the man! I still laugh at your smattering GIF all the time.

He went a full session and did call anyone the F for gay word! Great job buddy keep it up!!!

Live

It's a love hand

For some reason my hand histories will not post. I hit submit and the screen just refreshes. Any advice ?

Why are we not c/r jamming on the flop? V1 donks 325 and has 900$ or so behind with a $900 pot correct?

Assuming that to be the case I would suspect us to have the best hand here alot based on hand reading. I don't think V1 has KK+ based on PF action and you said that you would discount sets and 2pair.

Seems like with a 1-1 PST and an over pair a c/r has some merit without reads.

I think it's clear neither of us are theory experts :)

I think your range looks spot on, and agree this board is not great for you. The more I think about it, though, I wonder if we've given Villain too wide of a range himself? And then I wonder how much of that range is betting the river vs checking back?

If Villain has a PFR of 31, what is his UTG opening range? And then how much of that range is he calling vs a 3 bet? Let's say his PFR is 20% UTG, and he calls 75% of the time. That would leave him with the top 15% of hands. If Villain only has top 15-20%, he now has much fewer combinations of KTo, Q9o, JTo, J9o, T8o, T9o, and T7s. I also wonder if Villain will be betting QJ on the river, with the board being paired.

Lastly, I wonder how competent our Villain is. If he is a true maniac, I think c/cing the AA,KK,AQ, and KQ of our range is great, because he will bluff it off too often. If he is thinking opponent, however, he should recognize that the board is bad for our range, and I don't think he will be bluffing the river as often as we think.

I don't have the answer, but I enjoyed this discussion and know I have improved my game for having it. Thanks for sharing your hand and your thoughts, I look forward to sharing some of my own!

Haha no coincidence there. It seemed like the perfect video for you, glad you found it.

I am no expert, and I could definitely use some insight from someone more confident in these concepts. I believe both Villain's and Hero's ranges are important here, but this spot reminds me of the 0-1 game, where hero has a bluff catcher, and villain is polarized to nuts or air. I know your example is more complicated, but in effect, Hero's range is capped and Villain is polarized. If Villain bluffs too often, Hero calls 100%, and if Villain never bluffs, Hero folds 100%.

In actuality, you will slow play monsters sometimes, and so your range is more complex than that, but in this example, I would use Villain's value and bluffing ranges to determine his frequencies, and use that information to decide whether or not I bluff catch. In theory at least. This is much harder to do in game.

For the sake of this discussion, what does your range look like on the river? How does it change from the preflop 3 bet to the river?

According to the range you've assigned him, Villain has a bluff to value ratio of 1 to 2.21 on the river. When he bets $31.35 into $41.35 on the river, he is laying you 1 to 2.31 on the river. From a GTO perspective, your maximally exploitative strategy would be calling with all of your bluff catchers on the river and making an immediate profit, because he is bluffing too often given the odds he is laying you. If he were to pot it, let's say, then the odds are 1:2 on a call, and you should just fold all of your bluff catchers (he is not bluffing enough to make a call profitable).

From this perspective, I think that AQ is a clear call on the river. AQ is near the top of your bluff-catching range, and given your range analysis, I think you will win often enough to make the call profitable. Additionally, I think this Villain is bluffing more often than your initial range indicates. If he is truly a maniac, then his ranges will be way out of balance, and he will have more spaz in his bluffing range, making the call even more profitable.

I have had trouble in these spots myself, and I found this video from Steve Paul to be incredibly helpful. http://www.runitonce.com/pro-training/videos/bluff-value-ratios/
