Hello Kevin. Excellent video. Thank you.

Have a few questions.

1) 03:00 8T 222, J here you pick 3/4 sizing. I would use probably mix of 1/3
and overbet. 1/3 so I can protection bet with some of my better A hi and
pps and overbet because I can Have JJ+ and also we have more 2x than oponent.
Also you said you would like to bluff with cards that are T-6, why not 3-5?
With those we block the pps. The 8-T we dont block his pps since he is gonna
usually 3b them. STill probably make sense because we block better A hi and
stronger Jx which are more likely to call flop. SO I think for me bluffing
would bet if both card are between 3-Twith having a diamond. and I would pick some of the low suited hands 34s, 45s, 46s wo backdoor on flop so we dont block his backdoor flushdraws call on flop and we can tripple barel if river is not diamond.

2) he 96 hand on 234 you made a right fold acording to pio. I was recently running the same board. and 6x is usually just call with backdoor flushdraw

3) How do you decide which kickers you gonna be cbetting and which checking on flop where we use small sizing. I think when we use big sizing usually we just cb the better kickers but with smaller sizing it is becoming more tridky. Do we wanna have kicker that has backdoor gut or do we prefer more kicker wo backdoor gut that if we hit two pairs on turn we cannot run into cooler against straight.

4) similar question about delay cb turn smalll. Which kickers are better to delay cb small with 2nd, 3rd, 4th pair. Do we prefer to have a kicker that block his potential c/r bluff hands so we get c/r with lower frequency or do we prefer to unblock his bluffs so there is more bluffs in his range. I noticed that we usually call against c/r 3rd and 4th pair in these situation if we dont block his bluffs so make more sense to me to not block the bluffs. But I know that in one of the other videos from you. you said you prefer to bet with blocker to his c/r bluffs. Would be interested what do you think about that.

Post | PartyMaestro posted in NLHE: how pio understand kickers

Hey guys,

I am trying to figure it out. Which kickers pio preffers to bet and check if we bet small sizing. On the flop or delay cbets. I think with bigger sizing it is usually the higher one we bet and the lower once check but with smaller sizings it is just now so obvious.

So here we are in heads up SRP. I see that if we have a pair and it is suited we almost always bet which make sense because we either have backdoor flushdraw or we dont block backdoor flushdraws of oponent which he is gonna call. The ofsuited 6x the worse kickers have lower frequency which make sens but in case of ofsuited 9x the T9- Q9 have lower frequency thant 97,98, 95 why? Shouldnt the better kickers bet more often? Also I would rather bet J9, Q9 because if we hit two pairs on turn we cannot run against cooler like in case of 97, where we create two pairs and he has straight. Also if turn is Q we can overbet.

the same spot here. Flop is check, check, turn oponent check and we are supposed to do mainly small sizing. for example Q6 is mostly check and Q9 is bet why is that? 86,87 is split but 98, 97 always bet. I thirst thought that it is better to block the 8,7,T so there is less c/r in his range. however we are folding 76, 82, 72 against c/r and calling the 6x and 2x that dont block his c/r bluffs. I dunno how to think about it. Should we rather bet with hands that block his c/r bluffs so we get c/r less often or should we rather bet with hands that don´t block bluffs so there is more bluffs in his c/r range.

I just dunno how to think about these spots. what are the underlying principles. How to decided which kickers are better small cb and delay cb etc.

Hello Kevin,

thank you for video. high quality as always.

7:00 TJ4, 8 - you said here that there is extremely few Tx and 8x in your leading strategy because of how the board get cordinated. I thought on this board we wanna had some 8x and Tx for protection, since there is lots of bad river cards.

Hello,

very nice video.

AQ6r - isn´t on these type of boards where Pio recommends really high frequency of betting just have 100% range cb. except some K hi Pio wants most hands to bet. So I think our ratio of strong hands, bluffs, semibluffs is kind of same if we bet what pio recommends or if we bet 100%. Seemes to me like a easier strategy to execute I don´t think we are opening ourselves for exploit. What do you think?

Helllo Kevin big fan of your videos. Really enjoyed this one. Have few pretty basic questions.

The lower sizing we use for cb the higher frequency it will be because even given our smaller sizing we will have less bluffs, we will bet more hands for value and protection. We use smaller sizing to not give a chance oponent realize his equity and protect our hands. If I understand it right we dont cb the same frequency using higher sizing because than our worst made hands like 3rd pair etc. which need most protection, would did not get called by much worse because lots of worse hands would have to fold to bigger sizing.

I am still not sure when to use bigger and when smaller sizing. Which type of boards w e prefer to bet smaller and which bigger? Also what is your strategy on boards where you have a range and/or nut advantage. For example AK3. I have seen and used strategy to bet small on flop and overbet turn. I am not sure if I use it for right reason. On flop we bet small so we can bet for value and/or protection lots of weaker hand like Pps,Kx,3x and on turn ve overb because we have nut advantage (we can have Ak,Aa,KK which our oponent cannot have) so by overbetting we can put more bluffs in our cbetting range.

What is your opinion on more old school strategy where we cb flop (40-50%) and we dont use too much protection bets and we use std. Sizings (60-75% of pot). The doug polk style. Is there some proof that this newer style using higher frequency and lots of smaller bets is better than old school style where you didnt do much protection bets and cb with smaller frequency with higher sizing.

Thanks.
