Why is checking 22 ev less than betting?

[19:00] How is it 'easy to come up with a solution for the big blind [3bet]' when given the small blind open? We still need to adjust the BB's shoving range to the SB's calling range which they just change back and forth. The only method I can think of is using a loop which loops through all the ranges and comparing for the best performing tree at the end.

[20:00] You tried to explain how the SB open and SB call relate, by reducing it to a 10bb game. How does not getting dealt the bottom 12% affect our calling range in the 20bb game?

Excellent video btw, watched it more than 10 times, as an HU CAP player this really helped me understand the game and its invaluable for me. I'd love to see your approach to constructing a range for c-betting (very looked over topic on RIO), delayed c-betting, and 'probing and barreling' for CAP games.

Thanks for the explanation Tom. It's probably calculable at what SPR we wouldn't want to put in a 4th bet against a 6 outer.

themightyjim,
thanks for the detailed analysis, the ranges and potential futures
scenarios really gave me a better understanding of the situation and
thought process. btw, the board is actually 994, so 94 would never be
drawing dead, I don't know how much the different boards affected your
reasoning but it seems to focus a lot on mistakes from both players
which aren't really quantifiable and avoidable by creating a balanced
strategy.

Why would you not want to raise 94 without over-cards? I'm not a PLO player, but very interested in reasoning behind range constructions.

If we have over-cards, we should be fine with check-calling to protect and maybe improve and have a check-raising range in later streets.

On the other hand, when you don't have over-cards, check-raising right now on the flop will get the most money in while we are far ahead of our opponent's range, which we might not be able to get if an over card drops on the turn.

this cant be real..
