Hi Sergey,

I have a question about the AQT9 hand at 32 minutes on table 1

On the Kh 7h 4h flop you say that we need to be checking some hands to give up and checking some hands to slow play. I am trying to figure out a slow play range and I'm having some difficulty.
Which hands would you use as your slow plays?

Set+flush draw on this board or set+open ender on rainbow boards would seem to make sense but this is not many combinations.

Is it the case that you can get away with slow plays being only a small part of your checking range because when you do have those hands, villain will be almost drawing dead with his bluffs/semibluffs? Therefore the overall EV of villain playing very aggressively on turns and rivers with a wide range decreases rapidly even though most of the time when hero checks back he does not have a slow play?

I think you found the right balance with the pace of the explanations and the hands. This series has been very good, keep it up!

I like the 6-tabling format - especially the mix of 6max, shorthanded and HU

I'm rooting for this to be a long series!

Great video, more please!

HU SCOOP please Phil!

Hand 1 I think river might even be a c/fold? With a 72% VPIP overall he's probably going to be closer to 85-90% peeling BvB here which gives him pretty much every clubs combo in the deck and with super sticky stats he'll get to the river with most of them so even if he calls every straight I can't see there being enough of them to compensate for all the flushes that he's going to have. Could be way off here though, haven't run any numbers.

Hand 2 I think you can make an exploitative adjustment and bet smaller to target his smaller flushes/Qx non-boat hands but I think potting is fine, he'll have a boat sometimes but he has far more combos of K/J/Thi flushes and at 20PLO I don't see many people folding these hands

Would be interested in joining too, playing 50PLO

Very interesting and well put together article, tyty

I don't have any maths to back it up but I would assume that getting folds from 7xxx/34xx hands has better expectation than letting them realise their equity in return for getting one bet on the river on the 6 flush cards that you can overflush villain on without the board pairing

Bet/call turn for me, I'd expect at this level most 56 and sets to raise the flop so I'd expect a decent number of folds and when they do decide to go with it you'll get it in vs aces up most of the time which you don't have terrible equity against

Happy to be convinced that I'm a spewmonkey though :D

Feels like a spot that in a good game vs weaker opponents you can happily bet/gii and vs tougher opponents its more of a xb for the reasons that OnceItRun gave
