Thanks Callum <3

How would you continue on rivers when the raises get called? My experience with recs is that

1) They don't give up draws easily - so they probably continue with all FD + KQ/QJ type of overs + straight draw type of holdings
2) They don't quite like folding pair especially top pair

So this makes hearts and K/Q/J river a little bit difficult to bluff, and I'm not sure about a T since they might pure call all their 9x/4x.

Would love to hear your thoughts on my reads :) And will you bluffs on all other bricks?

Cheers

Also just a suggestion -- wondering would you feel like doing routine type of video? Kind of like "away from table" section but more detailed -- like how do you split playing/studying, how do you actively socializing/exercising and maybe diet and nutrition etc..

There are several vids from other pros from this topic, but people are different I always learn something new :)

Cheers!

Hey Rapha, absolute banger. Really enjoy the pace you explain hands, thanks for the vid!

I think the main reason is that 1) OOP wants to use big sizing on this board, 2) IP has QQ-TT at decent freq in his range, so combined these two points 99 is not necessarily a strong value bet.

So when it comes to protection -- QQ/JJ has higher betting freq before AA since both AA/QQ can beat all IP's one pair value but QQ is vulnerable on more runouts. 99/TT is vulnerable too but will lose more often.

Haha unlucky, bad for the editor :(

Nice vid, enjoy it Sam!

Hey Zach, the Big O is real fun, would certainly love to see more in the future. Cheers!

Nice continuation Paul. Well explained

Jams for bluffs would be the ones that block Jx (KQ fe)

Makes sense! Then if you are bluffing AKo/AQo what sizing would you use, pot? I'll assume any sizing below b75 is quite meaningless as our line is not too creditable.

Hey Gary!

28:27 table 2 you said QJ is a better call than AQ vs bet-3bet from opponent. Just curious in your opinion, is river block-3bet line underbluffed enough in these nitty pools so we can defend our 2p+ combos only if with no specific reads?

26:30 very tricky spot, you mentioned you probably want to bluff in practice, curious on what sizing would you use?

My own experience is that population is a bit unbalanced on their turn stabbing — they will stab their stronger hands more like TT, and less medium hands and bluffs like AQo/87s and even QTs/JTs worrying getting check jammed on. So their river range should be more capped in practice. As you said AJ+ can go all in, will you also all in with our bluffs? If not what size will you use?

Thank you!

Very enlightening! Thank you a lot!

Hi Mark, nice change of format. Quick feedback -

a) Actually would be amazing if you can make a video using a larger sample and conducting a more detailed database analysis + leak finder with hand review

b) It's probably better to do VPIP = YES & Saw flop = YES for better viewership experience, saves a lot of clicking

Thanks for the video! :)

Regarding cold calling -- I think he specifically does that when either a rec VPIP'ed or a fish is in the big blind -- and since this is reg table+small sample size, it gives you the impression of "a lot of cold calling".

Personally I perfer have a calling range when rec is in the big blind especially considering the rake structure is lower (2.9bb/100), since doing 3bet or fold will just push the rec out of the pot with their medium hand a lot.

But that's just me, curious to see what Mark's take on this too! :)

Thanks for the vid Volodymyr!

50:11 It's interesting to see that solver still uses none-all-in sizing OTR after 3x pot OTT. In population I'm seeing jam-only OTR after 3x pot.

Do you think there's merit splitting and have a smaller sizing OTR exploitatively? Thank you!

38:55 Bottom mid 74s. Nice catch on timing tell, one quick question -- in one of the freenacho's videos, he comments when villain's range is capped, we can size up but we can't go crazy regarding our bluffing freq.

Would you fire up all your bluffs/low SDV hands in this spot if you think villain is super capped given the snap xback and if so would you worry about frequency? (I'll assume you only have one bombing sizing there)

36:12 you mentioned you only do 2.3x pot on 872r. Fun sizing -- 3e is around 1.3x, wondering what's the reason you go massive on the flop cbet and is it just HU?

28:39 Top right you said we have loads of other hands that can delayed cbet here. What are the nut delayed bluffs here in your opinion?

25:44 Bottom mid - nice heuristics on understanding the value betting threshold using equity when get called. Didn't quite think of that before!

09:51 Top middle KK -- very interesting hand and well played from villain.

I have the same thoughts as you OTR when watching and probably would call myself. But one thing that keep me from pressing the imaginary call button is that I typically find xx/bc/b-jam line to be underbluffed and this, as a general case, bothers me a lot when try to bluffcatching --

(1) when villain is repping little value combo but could have quite some bluffing combos and

(2) when villain's line/stats seems underbluffed.

Basically when two exploit reads contradict each other, which one will you weigh towards and make decision based on it? Or do you have other approaches?

This might be a bit vague but would love to hear your thoughts!

He built it himself. I think you can DM him if you want to purchase it.

Live play from Luke! like in the dark :P

BTW I don't know if you play these games regularly, but how do you think of the skill level between 200 fast fold & 500 reg table? Thanks!

Thanks! Haha I love "It's fun to hero call" idea, give me new perspective :D

I feel like the population has slowly started catching on to how good these spots are to bet large

yeah I totally agree -- started to see more and more big bets on these boards from the pool now, and sometimes it's tricky to defend at the right freq!

Hey Sam - enjoy this exploit video a lot, would definitely want to see some more in the future :)

Great continuation. Love this series so far, very look forward to Part 3!

Hey, starting from 10:50 the K2s hand seagullhead

Nice one Paul, the overcall issue I believe is a huge misconception for lots of players with the "pot odds myth" (I was guilty of that when I was playing low stakes too). Glad you bring it up and explain clearly!
