Great review. Looking forward to more!

In o8, throughout the video players reraised preflop with weak aa including with no low potential. Are weak aa really worth that?

9:30 if eli had a brick kicker should he call or even fold? Vs tighter players should he fold?

33:10 even if kasella had a made 9 i believe he would be an underdog vs any premium low draw that may be out. Shouldn't he check?

Thanks!

Hi Tyler,

5:00 you talked about 1-2 not being high enough to be profitable. Is the bare minimum going to be 2-5?

16:25 table 1 aj, are you stacking off if he jams?

Thanks!

It's one of those famed value bet bluffs :)

Glad to have you back!

Hope you cotinue with this. There are a lot of great icm spots to see.

Hi Luke,

Would definitely like to see more of this.

2:15 k7 these spots are always a bit confusing to me. So we raise for value/protection/semibluff? Do we barrel hearts and 2pr/trips turns amd xf broadways?

8:00 jj if he sizes up does jj start to go indifferent?

29:15 q9, I understand the xr line, essentially check for showdown then bluff your hand if he can value bet a thinner range. I also understand the jam if you bet and he raises for similar reasons as above (please correct me if i am wrong on any of that), but what purpose does a bet from us serve? Is it a value/bluff net? Seems mergy.

Thanks!

Appreciate your response. Low pocket pairs always seem to make it into the bluff node in.some way and it always confused me a bit. Thank you!

Very helpful! Are you going to continue this with a few different boards?

Appreciate you taking the time for those thorough answers! Looking forward to more.

Great node to cover!

12:15 shows some low pp with a h likes to xr but 12:20 the same doesn't really happen with those pairs with a club. Is that because we have more Ax in the first sim so we can have a wider xr bluff range?

1:06:00 shows we want to barrel our 4x but we choose to mostly check our 2x. Why is that?

Thanks!

Excellent video!

26:54 on the river you have a marginal 2 way hand. I was wondering why you bet the river? It is unlikely you are getting scooped but it is unlikely you get any better hand for high or low to fold.

27:37 what about calling his flop raise rather than 3betting it that way he almost always bets turn and you can get the raise in on the big bet street?

29:54 table 1 can you raise turn since it bricked all the draws?

35:15 I probably also call this turn but the more i think about it the more i like a raise. He checked the flop which caps his high range and the A and 2 are out killing his low draws and relegating him to a live card draw. I think we are way ahead on high and he is drawing to only half the pot.

43:10 should jake always raise here? Benny is repping a boat and could have the nut low as well quartering jake. In pot limit this would always be a spot to just call for jake, right? Wouldn't the same be true in limit?

47:35 would the turn lead still be good vs an ep raise from a tight player? Would xc be better?

52:30 kk43 seems to be a weak hand to go up against an ep open. Would you ever just fold this hand?

Thanks!

2:25 chino cold calls the squeeze with 66 and you said it was fine. That seems a bit out of line unless you feel the implied odds are worth it.

30:30 how would you feel ab2lut suvarna ripping the river over the lead?

Hope you had a great wsop!

Excellent review!

First two hands do we ever use probe sizes less than pot?

17:20 is there any merit to 3bet calling or is that way too high variance?

38:30 if we do chk turn do we have to xf vs a pot bet given some of our straight outs may not be good?

Thanks!

Qj makes sense to.not want have to fold,.but it seems to want to bet kq but check.kj and that is the part that is confusing.

Hi Callum,

10:00 you explain the nuances of having the queen, but I am not able to understand why we call club draws but fold diamond draws.

11:15 are those small/medium pocket pairs we are bluffing with only the ones containing a diamond?

19:50 kq prefers to bet but kj checks. Is that just because of the way the cards interact with our opponents range?

Thanks!

Great video.

16:00 I feel like we have sdv. Neither of them bet the river so it is unlikely they have an A. I think the same logic applies to a J, but even if they have a J with some backdoor hand they floated, I don't think there are that many combos. There are only a limited number of better 8x and the bb is the one who will likely have more of those. I really think you have the best hand most of the time.

18:50 qj, I like betting the turn. I think we get a lot of value from his flush draws with overs and straight draws. It also may get us a check back on the river.

28:50 would you jam the aq vs the 3bet or call sometimes?

Thanks!

Great review!

First hand, if we do bet 50% pot and get called in any spot are we forced to xf most turns?

25:33 table 2 kkj7 you said flop was a check. On such a dry q high board, don't we get to cbet a lot of our range?

35:50 table 2 qj99, what is the purpose of the flop raise? Is it a mergy value/semibluff?
Do all bare top pairs have minimal showdown value that we have to mostly bluff?

Hope to see another part. Thanks!

I like these post commentary reviews.

17:30 table 2 33, do we get to xr some of these small pairs and look to barrel quite a bit? 33 with the future blockers here seems like a good candidate.

Thanks!

Great format. You were able to cover a lot of hands.

First hand, the turn call seems really iffy even with the heart.
If it were a straight heads up game, does that make it easier to call?

13:50 with the 3 club board should the turn sizing from gazzy be small for most of his range on most non club cards?

Thanks!

Great review, Matt!

18:25 I am surprised by the amount of check raising we get to do here. Our hand seems difficult to play on a board that seems to favor ip. We are also oop and playing turns will be difficult. Are you barreling a lot of brick turns and possibly triple barreling?

20:00 is the 4x raise standard in this spot?

Thanks!

Excellent review!

First hand, with normal stack sizes, can hoffman call a raise or 2bet?

Second hand, does hennigan cap his range by only xcalling then drawing 1? Shouldn't he always 3bet?

If you are at the series, I hope it is going well.

Really enjoying this series. There are so many pko reviews that it is nice to have a standard tourney review.

I really like your post play commentary vids.

3:00 you talk about lack of protection being a thing and as such we size up. Wouldn't we want to size down since we can go for more thin value and so much of our opponents range doesn't have eq to continue we can bluff cheaper?
However, i have seen some of these spots where we polarize more but it was due to both of us having such wide ranges that we need to be more careful about our frequencies.

26:40 table 2 you said it seems like a solver raise. Are you giving up on any sdv and looking to barrel blank rivers, or giving up based on blockers? With our draws being backdoor, it feels like we can barrel rivers more often.

Thanks!

Would love to see more mixed content!

Great review!

4:00 if hero had a diamond, particularly a high diamond, would you consider a river diamond to potentially be an out as well given we could jam as a bluff?

11:30 do you not have any flats from the sb in this spot?

26:20 what would the bottom of your calling range be? Aqo?

Thanks!

Excellent review, Luke!

18:33 you talked about a 50% pot getting called in 2 places is a pot sized bet going in. Do you use mutliway solvers much, and if so is that something that the solver takes into consideration?

Thanks!

Appreciate you continuing to make mixed content!

9:50 I know if you have a playable hand but there are 3 overcards behind you then limping can be an option. However, with only one of our cards out and only one overcard behind, wouldn't it be better to complete to have the opportunity to rep an overpair or 3 flush?

17:00 I'm not sure about the positions, but if doyle bets and lamb were next, how do you feel about a raise from lamb, or if lamb checked and doyle bet, a possible xr from lamb? He has the nut low draw and could liven his high hand.

Thanks!

With the btn 3bet range, do you never have a flat range with broadways, especially suited broadways that may not want to see a 4 bet?

11:00 why is kq bluffing so much more than other missed broadways? It almost seems like it should have a bit of showdown value.

19:25 you said with a flush draw on the board you would size down. Why is that?

Thanks!

I appreciate this video a lot. Sorry to hear you are going through more tough times beyond the tax stuff.

I myself am at a bit of a crossroads in life. I've actually been there for the last 6 months. Sometimes I wonder if the last 6 months have been a mistake.

I do like your mindstate videos because it isn't just words thrown out at us. You relate it to your actual struggles. You word things in a more real, applicable sense. Thanks Mathias.

I appreciate the thorough, thoughtful response. That insight makes sense. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of the changes a board card or subtle shifts in ranges make when it comes to cbet strats. It seems easy to make mistakes.
