First time watch you doing drill session! Thanks Linc

Nice review, thanks Sam!

Hey Horse -- awesome format! Really enjoy this one -- the HH alone plus just the narrative gives me old school vibe haha, it can only be done by a great coach.

kudos!

Nice sesh, Thanks Dekkers!

I think the more important reason here is that K is extremely good for OOP - IP shouldn't peel a ton of Kx vs flop big sizing.

I believe if you play around the sim you would find out on cards that super favorable for the OOP (mostly a K) , OOP would typically size down, and on some drawy card (e.g. turn cards that brings in lots of bd draws), OOP will 1.5x jam even with the deeper SPR. It all boils down to how the turn interacts w the ranges and OOP typically wants to fast play unless it's super favorable.

p.s. The above conclusion is just based on many sims that I studied under this formation, I have not viewed the sim for this particular hand so if the result don't tally let me know haha.

Hey Jan, very helpful video! "Trivial many" is defo the thing that I wanna focus and try to cut out! Thanks for teaching this concept!

Hey Alexandra thanks for covering the BVB content again! The most tricky formation imo.

Would be great to see you do some delayed nodes from both SB and BB :D

Hey warm welcome Nathan!

So excited to see you join and bring in PLO8 content, it's my fav game besides hold'em!

Nice topic on playing deep Dhruv, it gets really tricky at times. And agree with the above comment, it would be nice to hide villain's card.

Look forward to the next one!

Good explanation Volodymyr, thank you for the video!

Hi Emty -- leading is certainly a tricky spot! Thank you for the video :)

Nice review Alienslayer! always enjoy your content :)

Yeah fair enough -- random Kx is quite possible too. Can't never narrow the aggro rec's range too much xD

Amazing! Thank you for giving out both unsatisfying and satisfying answers.

To look at value system and feedback system as a whole is a more holistic way of seeing this rather than "change of mindset" I have right now, very nice!

So much wisdom to digest here, I'll make sure to follow those advice and keep you updated in a few weeks time.

Truly appreciate your help, thank you again Chris <3

32:58 you mentioned K is probably a good card for Gonsalves as he could have KJ but Persson has lot of random stuff.

When Persson choose to big bet OTT -- do you think he's only repping 8x+ (I rule out most of his AJ since I assume an aggro player like him will sqz more often than not when double straddle is going on), if so, KJ shouldn't matter here right?

27:40 enjoy your analysis regarding Robl's call here OTT. The ability to understand rec player's tendency is so important in deep stack game.

And exactly like your said, I really wish river is a blank so that we get to see how is Robl's gameplan going to pan out but unfortunately the Th drops xD

If you struggle to make these calls because you fear 3rd barrel, you need to change your mindset from, "I don't want to call because I'm going to fold river" to "I am going to call turn because my opponent is overbluffing and plan on calling most rivers because it is very profitable to do so."

Yeah I used to be like that too until a friend show me some of his HH that some rec can be pretty crazy in terms of triple barreling! I think it's really important to set the mindset right so that we don't make marginal decision based on our fear of variance.

12:00 - could you explain a bit more why As is a good blocker here?

Hey Frankie, thanks for the vid! Enjoy watching it.

Another suggestion I have during watching this vid -- Since these are more of a live-poker related video -- could you make videos around the topic of preflop squeezing/overcall, multiway postflop and donking?

Because live poker is notorious for many multiway spots (both pre/post) and sometimes donking might be necessary when playing against rec/or in a multiway situation to generate more EV.

Since you made some great multiway/donking vids earlier (I really like those!) and you said in the vid that you play live occasionally, I think it would be great for you to make some relevant content using the pokerGo footage.

Thanks :D

27:12 Table 2 Great hand to demo nut advantage! And I 100% agree with

put pressure on your opponents to develop a reasonable check-back raising region, which is difficult in practice

With that in mind -- Do you actually think we can overbluff the turn node using b300 sizing since villain's range is naturally weaker given both the preflop raising and flop check-back leak from population?

(And maybe underbluff OTR once get called?)

23:45 Table 2 you talked about AJo vs this type of potential rec player is a -EV call. Just curious -- what class of hand you think play differently as a call vs 3b when facing rec and regular? (i.e. is there any hand that we will call a 3b vs rec but fold to reg and vice versa?)

Thanks!

Hey thanks for the vid Tyler <3333

15:23 Table 2 What's the difference here between min bet and b33?

I believe any pair OTR is worth one street of value so we mostly want to get called by A high and some K high region, do you think min bet performs better in practice than b33 or b25?

Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed reply Chris!

The issue is partially there because you want one very specific thing and you are not willing to face the things that cause you to be stuck, so you need to take a look at the weak points and address those.

This is crucial! I will try to follow this idea and tackle the issue :D

One question -- how to you solve the motivation issue due to the lack of progress? I understand that it's a long process and we need to adjust our mindset. However, the training is just naturally not as fun as back when I can feel the progression.

Thank you again!

That's a fun review to watch, thanks Sam.

Hey Chris! Thanks for the vid!

The section "Facing that which you are avoiding" is pretty inspirational. As I've been recently struggling with my fitness progression.

I tried to push myself with my squat result since May but just stuck at the same level ever since, and lately I've been just pretty frustrated about that since there's some cycles of me "trying to lock in - put in the work - failed - repeat".

And now that when I don't see the result for several months, like you said, I try to avoid the pain and what used to be an exciting agenda now becomes my pain :(

Fair enough! When you say smaller side -- I'll assume b50 or smaller?

Got it -- that makes a lot of sense!

How about the value/bluff ratio -- would you add in more bluffs since the xback node are typically weaker than a solver range suggests or would you still keep it GTO-ish?

Also regarding this line -- my conception is that usually people from OOP do not play very well vs IP's aggression when having no position -- and I feel usually they check too much OTR/or 3betting the flop with an imbalanced range (more strong hand heavy and less bluff)

Curious on your thoughts and if IP raising line can be a profitable explo play esp when going deeper (say 150BB+)

I see -- So the action goes SB 3b pre and cbet flop then IP raising flop I assume.

Would you generally correlate high vpip type with high flop raising freq here especially vs small cbet sizing? -- Just curious how wide the OOP can float after facing a raise.

32:06 you said XR would be a better option here for Gonzales, are you XR all your 9x here as OOP? Since Gonzales is at straddle in a SRP, I believe he can vpip all suited 9x here.

Thanks!
