Great video!
In your heads up game you check/call the turn double barrel with As8 on K87hhsJs. Is this standard? Would you check/fold without the As since you can't check raise bluff spade rivers as profitably without it?

Great video Ben! I noticed that you mixed in a lot of 1/2 pot cbets in this video along with a few 3/4 pot bets. Is there any rhyme or reason why you chose to do a 1/2 pot cbet over the "standard" 3/4 pot? It seems as though most of the 1/2 pot cbets were when your range was widest on the button but you also used this sizing UTG cbetting JJ on JT9 where I would think we would want a more polarized, larger bet sizing on such a board.

what you're describing around 25min is called "reverse implied odds".

I assumed Khigh flush with some type of blocker and better hands.

I thought bottom of my range is bare trips, and technically i rate this hand higher than a random flush.

OK, so let's talk about raise/fold versus call turn then. There has to be enough value to raise turn, and if reraising ranges are that tight, then i assume we rarely get reraised?
In the top 30% of hands there are 2.5 times as many 77 and 68 than 64, and we have 80% equity against that range (if we only continue vers the capped range).

Villain is GodlikeRoy, who arguably isnt the worlds biggest bluffer.
He is quite tight in EP/MP (11%/13%), so i guess i am looking to find a preflop calling range as well. Against 13%6h i do have 43% equity, and i am very unlikely to get squeezed (because of his tight range, but maybe his stack size off sets this a bit?) I assumed that i get squeezed around 9% of the time here.

this was a tough one. But i guess i focused too much on "shave".

In the K10o hand whats your plan facing a jam on Js/As Jd/Ad rivers

KJ hand, since you assume he won't give your flop raise much credit and will therefore 3bet bluff you frequently, why aren't you just flatting? The 4bet instead of a jam seems odd as well since i feel like you narrow/eliminate all the "wider for value" parts of his range that may get it in if he thinks u have a high bluff frequency. He's also definitely not going to think he has FE on a 5bet bluff. Do you really think you can 4bet/call a 5bet?
Seems like flatting his 3bet is going to be better as we get him to maybe jam an amount of his air on turns, at least more often than hes going to continue with air vs your 4bet.
Would very much like to see a video outlining major differences between 40bb play and 100bb play, and how your ranges/strategy changes preflop as you go from 40-100bb.
