Hey Ryan,

7:15 i feel like the Ace is really good for us and we can bet a lot for a small size and folllw up with big river bets What do you think?

12:30 how do you feel about checking to try and get to showdown and xr if he bets?

Thanks!

Really enjoyed this format.

15:35 without the read on his draw tendencies on the turn does your hand go indifferent on the river? I would say it could be slightly losing without a diamond though you do unblock pair+ busted straight draws he could be bluffing.

Thanks fellas!

Appreciate the preflop video. It is an area where I atill struggle.

Do you ever use a limp strategy from any position besides the sb?

Thanks!

Great format and analysis. Looking forward to more.

Last hand I am not good enough to check back. I think there are just too many clubs and trips that will pay off. I think the pay off range can be manipulated by the sizing you choose especially in live poker. You did say he ws a pro though so maybe not.

9:00 you potted turn but to me that is too polarizing and limits what you can vbet. I feel like globablly we would want to go half pot. Were you exploiting with the sizing or do you find pot there a lot?

Thanks!

Really enjoyed the rapid review of hands and sims. The preflop sims were helpful and are quite a bit like tourny ramges.

In an ante game b vs b in sb should you size up to 3 or 3.5bb since bb can defend a wider range with no rake and an ante? It's pretty standard in tournies to go 3 or 3.5x in sb.

Looking forward to another part.

Thanks!

Enjoyed the review.

23:15 you mention our hand gets bet and we have 0 sdv. We are capped and have bad blockers to his fold range. It seems in plo we have far less 0 eq give ups than we do in nlh. Do you find that to be the case? Or do you find 0 eq hands to simply nearly always bet river?

Thanks!

I think the mw content is great. Live play is crazy. Routine 4, 5, 6 way hands.

Donking is not something I use in my game. Live players are so sticky especially given our donk sizes are so small. I think it would create more problems than potentially what it gains in ev.

Hope to see more!

Thanks!

Enjoyed the review.

15:15 if Roble were to barrel would he prefer a block or 50% pot bet to not overpolarize each range?

Thanks!

Hey Emty enjoyed the review.

12:40 nice to hear you don't always have to 3bet aaxx. I find the weaker ones difficult to play and will flat them from time to time. This spot was multiway, will you also flat weak aaxx with no callers as well?

Thanks!

24:08 you said you would draw to a 9842. If smith were utg or if table was full would you still want to draw to a 9?

Thanks!

54:00 if adam was not short when he 2bets would you still 3bet the 99? With adam short his range is likely wider but if he were deeper i would think he would 2bet narrower.

Thanks!

Really enjoyed the entire mda series. Learned quite a bit. How well do you think the overall data can translate to live play?

Thanks!

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

All of the icm sims can get overwhelming. You have to consider the different stack sizes that constantly change. Different positions of the stack sizes relative to each other. And all of that has to be considered for 1, 2, 3 tables left on up to half the field. How do you make it all make sense?

Do you drill icm in wizard to get better?

Thanks Hunter.

That's fair. I play mostly live and it makes it easier to profile and understand a bit better who is more capped. The middle aged blue collar guy will likely pay off, the old man will fold 99% of his range and the young kid will make me pay ;)

I liked the rapid fire solver review.

5:00 I know with the 4 straight out solver likes to block with queens but I feel like in real life everyone is so capped you can get away with a pot size value bet with queens and get looked up by worse a lot.

Thanks!

This line is interesting and seems like gto comes into play less and it's more about simply "playing poker" and is more opponent specific. At least live I think this would be true.

9:50 I feel in this spot opponent is so value heavy because his non pairs besides ak aq would already have bet.

18:00 do you think it's a value bet? His half pot sizing could make it so, but you are showing you have sdv so maybe he is hoping it looks like a mergy value bet to get you off a 7 or 9.

Thanks!

Really learned a lot from you and always appreciated how active and thorough you were in answering questions.

Good luck to you!

Appreciate you going through all of the preflop sims. Looking forward to the next part.

Thanks!

Really appreciate this video. I have been working on how to play back doors on the turn after I xr flop and this really helped. Would love to see more parts to this.

Thanks!

Great video. The delay cbet line is something i have been working on and is a weak spot for me so this was good timing.

Thanks!

Very valuable stuff. Even for experienced players it's good to have the reminders of how to play various stages.

You probably don't remember, but you jinxed me on day 2 of the 1500 8 game mix. You had glantz on your left and I sat to your direct right at the beginning of play and on the second hand of the day in plo i got it in with i believe kjt9 double suited vs aa54r blind vs blind. You said you would take my hand. I turned trips and he rivered the wheel. Haha. Anyway, good luck the rest of the summer.

Welcome to elite!
Enjoyed the breakdown of the ol post oak bluff :)

I really liked the video amd learned a lot.

2:45 are you keeping any 9 draw vs opponent who is drawing 2 cards? If ivey had 732 or 742 should he maybe discard the 9?

3:30 if we only xc weaker pat hands like a 9 or t then doesn't it turn our hand faceup? If we try to balance with strong made hands then don't we lose a bet by not xr those hands?

26:00 value betting the t seems thin. How thin should benny be calling to make the t a good value bet? Should he ever call low pairs?

27:50 if wong had drawn 2 would mercier still keep the 9?

1:02:50 you mention bluffing a pair of 6s is overbluffing. I had a similar spot this summer where opponent raise, i reraise in position, he is straight forward and a little tight, draw 2 1 he xc, second draw went 1 1 chk chk, third draw went 1 1 i made a pair of 6s with i believe 66542 and checked back. I felt I should have bluffed that spot because my opponent will have some non pair hands like A,k,q high that may fold.

Thanks!

Enjoyed the analysis!

3:41 he jammed 11bb, is a9o borderline? There looks to be 43 left so i would imagine there is some icm at play and it isn't a total cev call.

Thanks!

Great run, Ryan!

All of the preflop sims you do are appreciated!

Enjoyed the review on this line.

41:00 would you make a similar call down vs the same player type if he were on the btn? I tend to overcall in these spots vs wide ranges and more often pay the price.

Thanks!

I know you weren't looking to do a ton of solver work but I appreciated tu2e solver analysis that you did do. Very helpful!

Got a lot out of this review!

3:00 table 1 qq83 you said it's bad to have an ace in a 3bet pot. You block aces which seem good, but is it because you block their ace high rundowns making them more kk heavy?

4:10 table 1 qq83 what about betting half pot on the turn to fold out random axxx and kxxx hands and possibly getting a free river showdown?

Thanks!

Rough session!

3:30 i never find turn leads like this. Is that losing enough ev that i should be doing it? It seems to complicate things a bit.

38:00 with you turning the t9 into a bluff on the flop, which turns are you barreling?

Thanks!

The quiz was a nice addition.

5:00 the talk about flush draw blockers was interesting and seemed counterintuitive. With a fd blocker and our best axxx like akxx you said we want to jam but without things get more complicated. I would think with the blocker we can afford to play more smaller bets as we block more of the continue range and there are less combos that can draw out on us. Without a blocker I would want to jam more with spr at 1 or less to fully realize our eq and pressure draws.

Maybe these concepts better apply to axxx with 2pr?

30:30 the two hands that we check are having to fold to significant riveraction, correct?

Thanks!
