Sean Lefort

Sean continues with his breakdown of a hand by solving for optimal frequencies on the river and constructing corresponding betting ranges. He discusses the merits behind using an alternative bet-sizing strategy and summarizes the hand by reflecting on the chosen continuation bet strategies for each street. Sean segues into some interesting topics regarding more general poker concepts one encounters as a poker player, and suggests some tactics for improving one's poker lifestyle.

Part 1 of Sean's 2-part Farewell Video where he breaks down a hand using some GTO concepts in an attempt to cover some important topics as requested by the RIO community. In Part 1, Sean shows how he breaks down the flop and turn and constructs dynamic balanced ranges that will set up nicely for the river, as seen in Part 2.

Sean continues with another philosophical video that focuses on general concepts as a poker player and some of the potential biases that players should strive to avoid. Many of these biases are prevalent in all walks of life but Sean uses this video to focus on how they apply to being a poker player and suggests some of the ways players can make adjustments to create an environment that allows them to think clearly.

Sean dissects some NL 6-max play of fellow RIO pro Luc Greenwood as he grinds two tables of $2.50/$5.00 6m NL Zoom on PokerStars. Sean discusses general strategy plans for crucial points in all the interesting hands and covers the various possible outcomes. He strives to achieve proper balance while explaining situations where exploitative based adjustments may be applicable.

Sean presents an overview of the various rake structures for NLH at PokerStars. He discusses how the structure changes with stakes and how some of these changes may or may not alter strategy decisions at some of the smaller stakes.

Sean strays from his normal theory-based videos to explore some more general concepts regarding lifestyle as a poker player. He offers detailed suggestions for remedying some of the common problems that players struggle with when attempting to balance poker and life. Part 2 focuses mostly on tilt control, lifestyle choices, happiness, and micro-optimizing the grind.

Part 1 focuses mostly on the topics of bankroll, net worth, risk management, and emotional control.

Sean produces the second of a two part series involving the breakdown of playing the SB at 6-max NL. In this final video of the series, Sean provides justifications for his strategy as well as thresholds for ranges and continuing ranges to be used as guidelines. He also discusses why he thinks the current player pool may be playing sub-optimally as an important tool in understanding why this new strategy is so radically different from the norm.

Sean produces the first of a two part series involving the breakdown of playing the SB at 6-max NL when it's been folded around. Traditionally, this has been a situation where the best players employ a raising strategy. However, recently its been more common to encounter good players limping their SB and Sean goes into great detail to compare and contrast the two strategies.

Sean produces the second of a two part series involving the breakdown of some 6-max NL gameplay from Run It Once member "WM2K". In similar fashion to Part 1, Sean continues to break down any interesting situations and discuss reasonable thresholds for ranges.

Sean produces the first of a two part series involving the breakdown of some 6-max NL gameplay from Run It Once member "WM2K". Sean applies some of the ideas discussed in his popular 6-max Concepts series and attempts to break down ranges for the most interesting situations in the gameplay footage submitted by WM2K.

Sean discusses the Adjustment Game and specifically how it effects the flow of a HUNL match. In this video, Sean outlines the various ways of extracting information from an opponent and offers insight into how different types of information at different points in the match can vary greatly in both strength and relevance. Sean follows up these ideas with concepts he calls "Early Match Domination" and "Behavioral Control", both important ideas to understand when playing against the same villain for extended periods of time.

Sean presents his finale to his 6-Max Concepts Series with the third and last extended analysis video concerning the questions and issues posed by RiO members in response to the first four parts to the Series. This video focuses on finishing up BB strategy vs. BTN steals as well as a few other questions regarding concepts introduced earlier in the series.

Part 1: BTN Stealing
Part 2: SB vs Steals
Part 3: BB vs Steals
Part 4: Review and Gameplay
Part 5: Question Review
Part 6: Extended Analysis

Sean introduces a new concept to the Run It Once community and coins it, "book-keeping". In this video, Sean discusses the importance of this book-keeping skill and goes into great detail regarding some of the potential dangers of not book-keeping properly. The video includes some examples of good and bad book-keeping as well as a conclusion with some suggestions for how to go about improving one's book-keeping skills.

Sean produces the second of three extended videos to his popular 6-max Concepts Series that aims to cover most of the related questions posed by RiO members. The series focused mostly on pre-flop frequencies for 6-max and the questions/answers in this video are mostly regarding steal defense from the BB. Expect a final extended video to the series, Part 7, finishing BB defense as well as a few other loose items.

You asked and here it is, a bonus Lefort video. Sean finishes his 7-part series involving the application of theory to generic 6-max pre-flop scenarios. The goal of the series was to help provide mathematical justifications for pre-flop frequencies and avoid having to use too much speculation when deciding how wide to open and defend in-game. This last video of the series will review the key points learned in the previous videos and apply these concepts in practice with some Zoom $2.50/$5.00 game-play.

Part 1: BTN Stealing
Part 2: SB vs Steals
Part 3: BB vs Steals

Sean continues his 7-part series involving theory and generic 6-max pre-flop scenarios. This third video in the series takes a look at defending the BB vs. Steals and gives a unique perspective on just how wide one may be able to defend the BB. Sean focuses on the fact that forfeiting the BB is something we want to minimize given the appealing conditions we're given when confronted with a min-raise BTN Steal.

Part 2: SB vs Steals

Sean continues his 7-part series involving the application of theory to generic 6-max pre-flop scenarios. The goal of the series is to help provide mathematical justifications for pre-flop frequencies and avoid having to use too much speculation when deciding just how wide to open and defend in-game. This second video focuses on playing the SB vs. Steals and helps provide a template for a continuing range as well as a layout for the construction of this range.

Sean begins a 7-part series involving some mathematical theory tools and their application to generic 6-max pre-flop scenarios.  The goal of the series is to help provide some strong mathematical justification for pre-flop frequencies and minimize qualitative speculation when deciding opening and defending ranges.  This first video focuses on playing the BTN and helps provide a template for deciphering just how wide one should be looking to steal from this position.

Sean discusses a $3/$6 HU NLHE hand in extensive detail. He breaks down the hand using some exploitative-based assumptions to compare the EV of various options on later streets. He concludes which option is best suited to each scenario with findings that may not seem standard. He also discusses an important concept involving pre-flop 3betting range construction and it's implications.

In great detail, Sean breaks down a hand involving a barreling CBettor and a river CR-range to analyze the play from the BB's perspective with game theory optimal concepts. The hand does a good job of representing a fairly generic situation and shows how important it is to construct ranges properly throughout a hand while having an appreciation for optimal frequencies and thresholds.

Sean outlines preflop frequencies within a game theory optimized approach and gives examples when it is correct deviate from GTO. He then shows some 5/10 hands and outlines the post flop adjustments he makes due to his opponent's preflop tendencies.

In an important video that will be referenced throughout his future videos, Sean goes over some of the basic mathematics behind his decision making. He references the book "Mathematics of Poker" by Bill Chen and uses some of his own examples to further explain his ideas.

In his first video for Run It Once, Sean Lefort looks at a 2 tabling $5/$10 HU session that he played against a fairly LAG opponent. Sean sets the tone for future videos by opening the discussion for the theory behind his style of play.
