I bought it over hand2noteprotools via paypal. Had no issues. Like it even more than starshelper so far.

Great video, Henry. Would really love to see more of this kinda vids.

One topic which I am interested and you haven´t really touch is:

Compared to most 9-to-5 jobs most guys will very likely not grind after they get 40+ years old (lose passion, multitabling skils get worse with age, grinding live becomes difficult with family, etc). To be set for life (if you are living in europe or states) I think making 50k per year with poker will then most likely not be enough. So either you are able to reach HS (and if we are honest most guys will fail hardly to do so) or you are able to generate side income via investments, etc. But what if you do not have the talent or skills to reach HS or invest your money wisely. Do you still then think that poker is a lucrative job compared to a 9-to-5 job? Would really love to hear your opinion on this.

And nice haircut btw :)

Nice vid, Patrick. Few questions:

0:45, Table 4: Isn´t the fold preflop too tight? In the ranges that I got (solver based) 79s and even 68s, 57s, 46s are mostly defends vs 3bets. Probably vs 3bets>12bb we can start folding more, but vs villains sizing it seems like an +EV call.

17:30, Table 2: How to decide which 0EV or low equity hands to choose for turn barrels after block betting OTF? I know this is very broad question, but I often find myself turn barreling natural bluffs and struggling to find 0EV/low equity hands which leads to a low turn cbet % after block betting.

I guess in this case blocking KQ/KJ/KT and having an overcard to the board having as well as having the opportunity to bluff T/A river cards makes a fine turn barrel for our specific hand.

But in general what goes into your decision making process when constructing your OEV/low equity turn barrel strategy? Would really love if you could make some future content about this either theory based or a HH review which takes into account just this scenario. I think it is common leak of many player to construct their turn barrels mostly around value hands and natural bluffs after block betting the flop and having a very wide range on the turn.

21:50, Table 3: You choose a big check raise sizing. Wouldn´t it make sense to go a bit smaller since we might have a merged check raise strategy (hands like ATo at some frequency, etc)? Might be completely off here and we want to polarize our range.

29:30, Table 2: Do you think that on A+broadway+low card boards a range bet strategy OTF is a viable strategy or does it lose too much EV compared to a big bet/check strategy which you seem to implement? What happens when we face players who overfold/underraise like at lower stakes?

33:30, Table 1: I was surprised to see you having a checking range here. I haven´t done much solver work for BB vs SB 3bet pots, but the board seems like a high EV board for our range where we can develop a range bet strategy or is this not the case for BB vs SB?

Very nice results! How do you study nowadays? Do you think that a solver based strategy or knowledge is mandatory to beat 200zoom?

Very good video, Francesco.

Would you say that this is a trend on boards with 2 brodway (T-A) and a low card (2-9) in SB/BB vs BTN 3bet pots?

I have recently studied BTN vs CO 3bet pots and on boards with 2 broadways (however in my flop categorization broadways were just cards T-K) and a low card (2-9) the solver prefers betting small with high freq. (mostly 33% pot). Why do we see such a shift in strategy compared SB/BB vs BTN 3bet pots? A possible reason for this could be that villain when being in CO has less offsuit broadways (KQo, AJo, etc) on the flop compared to when being on the button since it mixes 4bet/folds with these hands. But not sure about this tbh.

Congrats on becoming a daddy. Few questions:

3:00, Table 1: As you already said most regs lack finding unnatural bluffs when betting big OTF. What would be some unnatural bluffing hands in villain shoes OTT? I find myself betting big OTF on these type of boards but then just continuing with my natural bluffs OTT.

37:50, Table 3: Do you think that we can incorporate overbets BB vs UTG after flop goes check/check on a board where we will have a lot nutted hands?

RIO deleted the original video and replaced it by this one. The comments above are regarding the original video.

Ofc it is Khamsing80 but you can do this kind of video by letting the student play his hand and give your thoughts after the hand was finished. Peter influenced his play in several occasions while the hand was on going. This is a very unethical behaviour vs the rest of the guys playing 100z.

I am sorry for my response kerouac but I am pretty tilted to see this. I think as somebody playing the same games as cosmos1994 it puts me in clear disadvantage. And I still think there is a huge difference between a recorded session which you can AFTERWARDS review with your coach and this.

Lol. What is difference between a recorded session and a live play where the coach took several decisions for him? You have probably to be retarded to not see the difference wtf.

By all respect for you Peter I think ghosting a player while he is playing and clearly helping him out in several situations and influencing his decisions during the vid is pretty irresponsible and gives Cosmos1994 an unfair clear edge over his opponents. Not sure how you then come to the idea to even publish this on RIO. Imo this is a very scummy behaviour.from both of you..

Nice video mate. Few questions:

20:30 Table 2: What are our bluffs OTR? I find it always difficult to find bluffs on 4 to flush board.

26:00 Table 2: Do you think that a range bet OTF as a strategy losses EV compared to check/bet strategy on these kinda of boards?

28:10 Table 1: Is it too nitty to check back OTR in nitty games like 100z with our hand?

35:00 Table 2: In ranges that I got ATs is beeing called and even used as 5bet bluff jam in these positions. I see your threshold for calling here AJs. Would you say that at lower stakes like 100z folding is the right play?

Depends from the coach. Getting answers until the coach releases a new video would be the way to go imo.

As an example saulo said in the comment section of one of his vids that he will just respond for 7 days after the video is published. This is a way to short time frame imo.

How many of the guys in your CFP do speak english or what is the percentage of non-brazilian in the CFP? I assume you have discord/skype groups for students where they can discuss HH´s,chat with the coaches, etc. What is the "official language" in these groups?

You said that you have a different approach than other CFP programs. Can you please eloborate in which way?

Thanks!

Hi nuno,
Your project sounds very interesting. However, for people who are interested in learning HUNL and would be new to this format, do you still think it is worthwhile learning it? I am a 6max player who exclusively plays on stars and have no clue about HUNL, but when I check the zoom lobby they are barely more than 5 people playing on 50NL+ stakes. Not sure if traffic is better on other sites (but then secutity might be problem).

Great hand selection for the video. However, you should present the ranges that you have used for the sims for a second. I am analyzing your hands with the solver and in some cases I come to quite different results (I assume one of the reasons could be that we have different inputs/ranges for the sims).

seems so bro, zinhao

Thanks for the reply. A lot of stuff what you said regarding not to check results, I have already implemented. However, my need to check my results is mostly related to sessions were i have the feeling that i am running awful.

I can avoid to check my reults for weeks if i do not have the feeling that i am running terrible.

It is very weird because most grinders want to check their results when they feel that are having a great session results wise.

Really nice results. I do not remember if i saw a losing month since i started reading the blog. It is even more impressive considering that i now have seen few streamers from 200z/500z who describe you as very spewy. So you have to do a lot stuff right which other regs are not able recognize since you constantly post 5bb+/100 winrates.

How do you succeed in not checkin results for a whole month? This is something which i struggle a lot and do have a receipt how to avoid this no matter what i tried. GL in novemeber.

Thanks for the response, Saulo. Regarding the last part of your answer:

Maybe you want to use both sizes as well! As long as you understand the range interactions on future streets, flop strategy won't matter too much.

Wouldn´t you say that the range interaction on future is a function of the flop strategy? What I mean by this is that a poor range construction on the flop would yield to a poor strategy on future streets. One example would be using 2 bet sizes and not having strong/medium strength hands in our small bet sizing. Vs recs I think it doesn´t matter and we can freestyle a bit more. However, vs stronger regulars I am more comfortable
currently just having one sizing on the flop and playing a simplified strategy.

Thanks!

Nice vid, saulo. Few questions:

1:15 Table 2: I haven´t study this type of boards (2 broadway +1 low card) EP vs BB. I use mainly a 1/3p. What do you think about using a polarized cbetting strategy instead of range betting since villain should have a tighter range here (compared to BTN vs BB) and less air in his range than on a really dry board like as example K43r?

5:40 Table 1: As already mentioned haven´t put much study into this spot. However, wouldn´t it make sense to polarize ourself here by checking a lot (including some overpairs which do not need protection like AA/KK) and when betting using a bigger sizing due to the fact that this board is very good for the BB?

11:00 Table 3: I know villain from the 100z pool. He is very nitty and uses a pretty polarized 3bing strategy (which you find quite often below 200z). What is your opinion by not 4bing monker ranges when having such a read? Reason beeing is that we are wasting hands like AJs, KQs, KJs, etc at decent freq. as 4bet bluffs when they have a lot of EV as a call vs ppl who 3bet polarized ranges and fold quite often vs 4bets. Imo hands like AQo, etc perform here better as an exploit.

15:20 Table 3: I am pretty sure that the solver prefers here to range bet. What´s the reason to use a polar bet size on the flop?

Appreciate your feedback!

Hi patrick, excellent video. By far your best video imo. Often these kind of fundamentals get forgotten while grinding.

Regarding the defend strategy vs 3bet, I have a question:

• Would you say that a monker UTG 4bet range (4bing hands like: AJs, KQs, KJs, etc at a decent freq.) when hero is OOP is a more profitable strategy when playing NL100+, because people do not cold call very often and 3bet a linear range IP (and therefore call more vs 4bets)?

• When playing lower stakes people tend to cold call more and have a polar 3bet range (and therefore fold more vs 4bets) we should tend to call the 3bet with hands like AJs, KQs, KJs, etc mostly and use hands like AQo, A4s, etc as 4bet bluffs?

I asked MMASherdog in one of his streams this question and he said we should stick to the monker ranges even at lower stakes because of the rake. But I am not sure if this the way to go, because imo we are then wasting a nice calling hand vs the 3bet as a 4bet bluff.

Whats your opinion on that?

Thanks for your input. I don´t think that my beahviour is benefiting me in any way (at least not subconsciously). But I never could find the trigger for this problem. I know few succesful midstake grinders who suffer also from this, but mostly they want to check results when they have the feeling that they are running great in the session. In my case it is the opposite.

After a huge downswing in august it started to affect also my mood, so that I have created an excel sheet with specific goals including to check results just bi-weekly. This was the first time that I haven´t checked results for more than 7 days. We will see how it goes.

Wish u GL in october!

Great blog dude. Since you are very knowledgeable respective the mental part of the game, i have question about beeing results orientated in poker.

With beeing results orientated i mean mainly struggling to not check results several times during a session while playing. I struggle with this now for years. I tried everything but never succeeded. Especially when i feel that i am running bad i always find an excuse to check results. When running good/mediocre the feeling to check results is not there.

I understand variance and know that a high percrntage of our sessions will be losing one. However, with everything which i tried to implement to at least not check results daily, i failed. I even thought to pay that somebody writes a script for me to block PT4 for a certain time period.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Agree with the previous posters. Vid is unwatchable in this format.

I posted few suggestions for future content in Saulo Ribeiro´s debut video. As you can see in the picture below the post got many likes, so I assume that the RIO community is heavily interested in some of these topics as well.

Would be really nice if some of the coaches could cover these topics. There is a demand imo.

I think for some nodes of the game tree you will find very good content on RIO like as example Cbet strategies in 3bp´s or SRP´s on different board types. However, for some nodes it is very difficult to find any content, not as an essential nor as an elite subscriber. Some of these nodes are:

• check-raise strategies as the big blind vs early position/button. How to construct ranges on different board types, how freq. changes depending from the position of the PFR, turn play, etc

• turn cbetting strategies after range betting OTF with wide ranges (BTN vs BB as example). I think people even at lower stakes nowadays know when to use a range bet. However, they struggle to design their turn cbet strategy accordingly. If you analyze stats of lower stakes players you will often find a huge discrepancy in turn cbet freq. compared to solvers. And the reason for this is that players know how to play their value/semi-bluff part of the range but have no clue how to play the 0EV subpart

• delayed cbetting strategy as PFR. Basically, no content available on RIO respective this topic. A theory video about this topic with following exploits/adjustments would be nice

• small blind vs big blind play. Small bling cbet and check raise strategies on different board types, big blind stab strategy, general deviations from equilibrium for both parties, etc

• playing as the PFC in 3bp´s. I think most of your audience is very passive in this kinda of spots by mostly calling/folding. People have very limited fundamentals when to take an aggressive action. Some ideas here are: raise vs cbet strategy IP, stabbing strategy IP, check-raise strategy OOP, etc

These are just few rough ideas. However, I am pretty sure that the RIO subscriber would benefit more from them than from live plays, random PIO sims, etc. I hope you really bring some diversity to the RIO content considering that you have a very good understanding of the theory and seem to be capable to express your thoughts very well to the audience. I think what RIO needs at least is another coach who´s videos are 99% live plays or they scratch an interesting topic, show few PIO sims and that’s it (even this might be for the coach the easiest solution).

I wish u GL and congrats again!

Great addition to RIO. Hope to see some unique videos from you, Plenty of interesting topics out there. I think there are already enough coaches who do HH reviews and live plays, so please try to create some unique and interesting content and not just random live plays, PIO sims, etc.

Really nice read so far. You are mentioning some really interesting topics. I think some of them are nowadays as important as the technical game and often players do not focus on them or neglect them completley by not understanding how important they are for our winrate in 2019.

Bring him on a podcast with MMAsherdog. MMA seems to like him :)
