Ok brilliant that’s how I approach it too I just find it hard whether I should have a general strategy or change depending on what you mentioned. Anyways, I’m a out on a Friday night and had a few drinks so shouldn’t say anymore 😂 Yer I need to man up and play more 500 but I hate the variance!

Hi mate, really enjoyed your first couple of videos some really good content. Couple of questions though, at 8.38 you talk about how you use a more polarised betting strategy on these boards however this kinda contradicts with what you talk about on a similar board in the previous video 27.55 where you use a range cbet to gain more fold equity on your turn barrel. So I was wondering do you change your strategy based on hand strength or have a general strategy for these connected boards?

Good video enjoyed hearing your thought process in different spots however maybe mixing in live play videos as well with in game thought processes would be more beneficial to a wider variety of players.

38.57- You didn't really say but I presume your trying to get him to fold all his medium pairs here, but you didn't have any stats on him and I always presume them to be weaker players in that case. So exploitatively I would of used a larger sizing to get him to fold those, however having the nut no pair I personally would of taken this to show down as I'm not sure he's folding any pair and he still has plenty of Ax in his range.
Really like your videos however sometimes could you explain more what parts of your opponents range your trying to get calls or folds with.

Good video Ian, I like the way your using a theme of the video during live play to explain certain concepts. Any chance you could mix in some videos at 100 and 200 Zoom cheers

Hi javier, I play these stakes on zoom with you, there's a few spots I'm questioning your lines. For example, the Q10cc on the J9Xcc flop I think this is a really good spot on the flop to use this hand to balance with your nut range and raise as villain will be in a tough spot with the majority of his range as that flop is better for you than him in general. Also the cbet flop and turn with the A4s on the A1076 board seems too thin to me even if against a weaker player as also your running the risk of getting c/red off your hand by draws etc. Also the lead on the turn with the 87cc on the J53ccA board seems strange to me, this in theory is a scare card for your range so seems strange why you would lead, villain will be barreling this card a lot so why would you lead here if you did have the stronger part of your range? Overall good video though, some interesting spots.

Good video some really content, only thing is which I've noticed some other coaches do is have 'standard 3 betting hands ' and always 3 bet them in the same spots, as for example the KQo 3 bet in the co from the utg open is always explained as a good hand to use for its blockers but I think should only be used to exploit a wide utg opening range. It's a small thing but really frustrates me when coaches do this, as telling players to 3 bet KQo against utg opens has to be a -EV play.

Hi Steve really good video again enjoy your content. I just have a general question about your set up, I'm looking to upgrade my laptop and have been looking at the different macs. I have noticed thats what your using and if you would recommend buying a Mac for your daily grind and if all poker software is compatible with the software. Cheers

Hi Teunuss, really good video as usual with some really good content. Any chance you could post or send your pre flop default decision percentages. As I find this is a part of my game I really struggle to balance and play correctly. Thank you

You do mention though in your explanation the theme of the match is that he hasn't been following through with his bluffs, but then seem to try and convince yourself he would with a range containing the As. I just think that firstly unless shown otherwise you should stick to your initial thoughts on him that he wouldn't follow through on the river so deny him his equity and shove the turn. Secondly giving him a range of bluffs which all actually hit that river and then coming up with a range of bluffs that you think you still beat seems like basically your just looking for reasons to convince yourself to still call.

ah man as usual with your videos some really good content, struggling to watch this one though due to the pokerstars alert sound coming up all the time

In the K2s hand 10.00 do you not think its best to shove over his turn c-r after you've overbet, as if your not planning on folding any rivers like you say and you don't think he will follow through with bluffs OTR, surely it's best to just deny him his equity on the turn?

Hi Eraser,
You seem to somewhat contradict yourself early in the video when checking back K9 Kxx board, then cbet 3/4 pot on the Qxx board with QJo after iso 3 betting the weaker player? Just wondered if you could explain your reasons for this?

This is the kind of video that clearly shows the difference between playing standards and what it takes to be elite at this game. Great stuff!

Also one thing I wanted to comment on was your opening ranges from all positions. You seem to open a fairly default range from all positions making some adjustment for regs/fish at the table. For me however I like to spend more time at the start of each hand assessing the players behind to determine whether or not I think it will be a profitable open as I find I'm burning money by opening 22-55, Axs, 67s-98s UTG or even MP at certain tables for example.

Hi Cameron, thanks for the video some really good content. One thing I wondered was the AKo hand you stack off with against the BTN 3 bet by 4 bet calling, would you say your 4 betting here 100% of the time? Also is there a range your cold calling the 3 bet with ? I have been trying out a 10s+ AK/AQs range to cold call with as 4 bet folding these hands is pretty gross I think but maybe right if you think hes never 5 bet shoving? Also what would you do if you and villian were 200bb+ eff deep and he 5 bets to say 45?thanks again looking forward to the next installment

Hi cameron, thanks for the videos really been enjoying your content. I am currently playing 100nl 6 max zoom mainly, some normal tables mixed in, been taking shots at 200nl. You spoke about doing some HH reviews, I would be really keen for you to do this with me. Thanks again
