Just to add one thing i saw that video, when limitless says he can play fedor drunk, joey then asks limitless will he play linus drunk and he said no. So he does have lot of respect for linus.

[@keirsullivan2578]

Also I'll add limitless even said he was running insanely good vs Linus

[@mrteosanchezz]

Limitless told me in the chat on GG that he thinks Linus is better than him. He's cocky, but he is at least self aware. It makes me like him a lot.

[@gianfrancoreich9985]

limitless said that llinus is the best 6max player in the world. I think that when it comes to HU limitless is better.

[@Richard-pv1vc]

Awesome content and you should know how much the effort that you put into these is appreciated. The presentation, humour, music feels almost cinematic, and I don't think there's anything publicly available matching your ability to conceptualize the game. These videos I often watch 5 times until I really understand the concepts being taught, which is amazing for a KZbin video and I havent even seen much paid content that I need to watch a second time to fully absorb. Really excited for GTOx, any training material you have, and the GTO manual which outlines your concepts further. Keep pushing the boundaries and taking the game further brother!

[@alexl2512]

I always come back to see these analysis once a while and understand more and more. Sometimes I use these blockers to bet when playing with beginners and always get called. The point is if you can not make right assumption about your opponents' range the rest of the analysis will always go wrong.

[@CortoMontez]

When talking about the blocking properties of diamond and spade hands on the turn, I think a bigger reason that the solver doesn't like to bluff them is that they block a lot of the BU's folds in terms of backdoor draws on the flop which didn't realise additional equity. Obviously their unblocking of Kx combos which you mentioned is also very relevant.

[@FindingEquilibrium]

I agree that blocking backdoor floats is not great for barreling but I think blocking the K is more important in this instance since it alters probabilities to a greater degree. If the 7 was a club, the solver still barrels 100% with QTc.

[@MaydayAggro]

Gotta say, your song choices are always perfect.

That "GTO X" interface seems really awesome, are you the brain (and the developper) behind it? It's so well arranged... I feel you have used Pio for such a long time that you could create the ultimate solver UI! I hope the price model will be affordable (because Pio is on the most expensive side of things if you want preflop analysis) Nice video btw, as always. GG :)

I am not a developer so I didn't write the code but the layout and all of the elements of the dashboard I created over a long period from using piosolver for years. We are going to have different pricing options with the goal of making the cheapest option available to players of all stakes.

You're genuinely sharing valuable tutorials and deep hands analysis for free so I wouldn't have expected you to create another "eleets" dedicated platform.

Small amount of 4bets could be because of the size of 4bet you choose, 33bb is just too much in that stack depth

[@maxxo]

a question, if anyone has any info? y does limitless and some other top regs have croatia as their location? they are not croatian (i am) and its kinda illegal to play here on sites that dont have croatian license. we all play tho, but its kinda tricky to withdraw cause our IRD could confiscate the money or fine you heavilly. in theory.

[@Skobby555]

I remember seeing bCp uploading these 10hr high stakes 6max cash sessions and thinking what a goldmine for this channel to analyse and share the results with us. Hopefully many more interesting spots to come! Wouldn't worry too much about Linus' downswing, it's impossible to put in the sheer volume he has and not have a perfect mental game.

[@adeltk6999]

Imho the fact is that Limitless filled the gap between Linus, Trueteller and him. Actually we can consider im as the third GTO wizzard ;)

[@stfustfu2010]

Hi guys, I don't have a solver, please explain to me briefly, is it possible to apply these calculations from tournaments from this channel for a regular 6 max cash? How dramatically the size of the stacks and antes affect the postflop strategy? Thanks in advance.

[@FindingEquilibrium]

Yes GTOx will be able to solve for cash and tournament games. The stack sizes and antes in the hand are read by the program and it will select preflop ranges and bet size options based on this information.

[@Soyouvelosttheloveofyourlife.]

Hi FE - first of all thanks for the amazing content. I've been using an exploitative strategy for years but just now getting into GTO and still learning much of the underlying theory and trying to wrap my head around these concepts. In this video you speak about EV regret and even after a Google search I can't seem to find any info about it. Would it be possible to quickly explain what that is? If anyone could give a quick rundown of it that would be much appreciated.

[@FindingEquilibrium]

Thanks. You won't find it on the internet because I invented this term :). For each available action, EV Regret calculates the maximum amount of EV the player to act would lose as a percentage of the pot if he simplified his strategy and decided to take that action with 100% of the class of hands he has selected. So, for example, if the user filtered the dashboard just for hands that were second pair with a backdoor flush draw and the EV regret for betting 1/2 pot with this class shows as 0, it means that instead of examining each individual combo in this class, the user could just bet 1/2 pot with all such hands and he would not lose in expectation against a GTO opponent. If you watch other videos on solvers, you will often hear people talk about how much EV they lose by taking an action for a particular combo as a sort of measure of how big of a leak it is to take that line - EV Regret greatly simplifies this process by doing all of these calculations automatically depending on which class of hands the user selects.

[@Soyouvelosttheloveofyourlife.]

@@FindingEquilibrium Thanks for the explanation!

[@MichaelLeightonsKarlyPilkboys]

Love your videos FE! Do you have any thoughts on why Linus limps a lot in tournament final tables? I've watched him a few times and he does it pretty often. I'm sure there's a GTO reason underlying it, but it does seem pretty funky.

[@bwen18]

MTTs have really shallow stack depths. My immediate guess is not wanting to open/fold but willing to limp/call. Linus is probably better then even the HS MTT regs so if he can cheaply see flops, he's +EV

So Linus is down around 3m$, basically a normal 30BI downswing in one of the toughest games on the planet and people are saying he's losing his edge? Damn, it's truly lonely at the top

[@arvindbadsha3356]

I always find myself in similar situation as Linus in the hand above. 3bet with a suited Broadway hand get called by a wider range (SB/Btn) and I barrell off Qt, Jt, QJ, T9 combos on this high paired board because of the positive blocker effect. When the flush draw comes on the turn, I randomly decide my own frequency to check v jam (favouring check most of the time). Would this makes sense in the solver? Since we are now blocking the possible missed flush draw on the river, there will be alot of non flush rivers that make our hand vulnerable to betting itself. Secondly if I'm double barreling all the unpaired suited Broadway on this KKxx board, am I bluffing the turn too much possibly or do I just need to have some give ups on the river? Lastly if we double barrell some Jx combos which then river a pair, do we stop turning our hand into a bluff? Can we jam for value with AJ (if we barreled it otf & ott?) V can still have 88,99,TT and weaker Jx hands that would have called flop and turn. Hope to hear response from the master himself, or anyone who care to jump in. Cheers AbBad

[@FindingEquilibrium]

It's hard to answer in a vacuum without knowing the exact board and the general ranges of both players. What I will say is that you also should take note of unblocker effects. For example, does your AJ block some of his missed straight draws or high card hands? If so, this mitigates some of the value of the blocker effects (though you still may want to bluff it depending on whether you have better bluff candidates in your range). What I do personally is I try to envision the best and worst combos in my range when it comes to blocking villain's strongest hands and unblocking his weakest hands. I will then bluff the best combos and give up on the worst combos. For my hands in the middle, it will often largely depend on the street, size of the bet and range matchup.

[@arvindbadsha3356]

@@FindingEquilibrium I only recently learned the value of unblockers through your channel. If incorporating unblockers on the board analysed above, would some combos of 8x and 9x be good combos to include in our flop bluff range, since they block bluffcatchers such as 88,k8,78,99,97,k9? Since the turn came a 7 and draws are revolving around 5x,6x,8x,9x, if the river bricks, like a J, do we then not choose to bluff these combos that were bet on flop/turn because they consist many combos of V missed straight draws, such 68s, 89s, 46s, 69s and thus have a negative unblocker effect? Just say, I 3bet 64s as part of my polarised 3bet strategy. Is it a standard line to take if I were to double barrell and give up on the river? This always confuses me, Im not sure if I'm supposed to bluff all non SD hands on the river or it is ok to have some give ups? Appreciate you taking the time to reply these comments. You are doing gods work imo 😂

Ben Batista JJ/QQ/KK mainly 4bet, especially JJ/QQ, added by all AKs and half AKo, and some Ax, Kx for bluffs.

[@HueTriTonThat]

Question: if the River comes a Heart, are we bluffing with QcTc?

[@idopeer5963]

I believe not. Because limitless called twice so his range is mostly heart draws and a king. If you see a heart it is most likely helped limitless. So trying to bluff someone that has kings and draws that hits is crazy.

[@HueTriTonThat]

@@idopeer5963 I think so too, but then thinking about Linus range on the Turn this is what I come up with: 1. Kx that is value. 2. Heart draw that is 2nd barrel. 3. Blockers that is 2nd barrel. River heart making his range also strong and question is: what he bluff with? Maybe QJo, QTo with a heart that blocks both Kx and hearts, some lower cards with a heart that blocks hearts and block some lower Kx. Is that enough bluff because he also river a lot of flushes?
