Glad you liked it! Which other topics would you like to see?

[@tetrakfecn6864]

Are these As Ks x boards so bad for us, because we have all the broadway cards in our hands so it blocks us from having the flushes?

[@tdt6050]

Yeah

[@antonsergheiciuc8149]

Awesome content Simon. Some other topics I'd like to see -- - playing a strategy through the turn and river - how to play double paired boards, where the 2nd pair comes in on the turn/river - defending against donk bets on flop/turn - donking turn, either when everyone checks flop or you check call - when to keep barreling after a check raise vs when to check

[@BluffTheSpot]

Ok thanks, all good ideas. 👍

[@apollon1ghts]

Thanks for the video! I just didn't catch what "30% above board" and "20% below board" means. Can you explane it?

[@onebrl]

Same

[@Elusive-Moose]

board is the % of betting that the solver does on the flop - so if the solver bets 30% then 30% above board means 60% betting with those hands and 20% below board means 10% betting with the hands in that bucket

[@apollon1ghts]

@@Elusive-Moose ah, I see. Thank you for explanation!

[@BluffTheSpot]

Yeah exactly this! 👍

Great stuff, thanks for the instructive video

[@noThankyou-g5c]

think there was an editing mistake 14:50 u did this process twice

[@monkefoahead]

thanks.i never know if i am playing these boards correctly.

[@BluffTheSpot]

No worries. Hope this helped

[@italiandutyy4962]

I don' understand well why we should check so often on boards like AKx suited , our opponent Will be scary a lot of times and he Will check too often , so against the field/popolation i feel like to check range on boards that i think i think he Will bet a lot of times when i check 109s J10s or 862s ecc 762s ( people with middle pair especially low limits they wants to bet Always their top pairs for protection especially low top pairs so if i check Raise a lot against this range It s Easy to put a good and big pressure , but on board like Axx suited i think he Will bet less and strong range normally

Solvers are destroying poker. (I don't have one, and will never ever buy one.) Just like HUD's and any other helping program there is on the pokermarket. In a couple of years we are all robots playing perfect against each other. R.I.P. poker. (at least online, luckily not live poker) 😢😢😢😢

[@hunterbursey]

There's a big difference between solvers and RTA. Yes RTA is terrible for online but solvers just allow the skill ceiling of the game to go higher, you can still find edges on any poker player because no one can actually play like the solver in practice.

[@tadthegoat3043]

There will always be beginners learning poker and fishes who refuse to read a single book. Poker isn’t dead and won’t be for a very long time

[@louiswalsh70]

If that was the case all these players that try and copy GTO wizard outputs would be playing nose bleeds and not 50NL

[@bertjames9661]

Your take is pretty common and also very incorrect.

[@BluffTheSpot]

You'd say the exact same thing if you compared a game of soccer 50 years ago to a game of today. The level of any professional sport will always increase as we get more information and understand the game better. That's normal. It's on you to decide whether or not to go with the time and make use of these insights or not. But as a matter of fact, poker isn't dead and most likely never will be. The understanding of the game increases, that's all.

[@christopherbohl5559]

This OOP strategy is ridiculously incomplete. "Just check range"... yea, then what? Honestly this is why I unsubbed from BTS - they just supply "GTO" strats but they do it so incompletely that it hurts your game because you follow the flop strategy and then are completely lost on turns and rivers. Obv this is free YT content, but it holds true for their entire catalog of content.

[@BluffTheSpot]

This is some of the best free content available. And we're trying to simplify your strategy. Obviously you haven't paid for the courses if you think the paid subscription is not complete

[@christopherbohl5559]

@@BluffTheSpot Paid for a full year subscription and attended almost every webinar. As an educator, I find your program fundamentally flawed. Not saying you’re giving misinformation, just that subscribing to your site hurt my game and my thought process. There is infinitely better content out there.

[@BluffTheSpot]

@@christopherbohl5559 interesting... Almost all our students fly up the stakes. But fair enough, if that's your experience I guess it just wasn't for you

[@zzxyyxxz4976]

I haven't paid for BTS so I do not know exactly the experience of what BTS has to offer but I watch most of their free stuff on KZbin. It seems you have the idea that they are just supposed to flesh out an entire strategy, spoon feed it to you, and you execute it and print money -- I don't think that this should ever be the case. Students should take the teachings of coaches as a guide to point them in the right direction and to still do much of the work and exploration themselves. Turn and river spots are quite complicated and there are just less simplifications on these streets than on the flop. It would be difficult to give an easy and simplified game plan for all turn and river runouts. Being lost on turns and rivers after checking range on monotone boards is just a reflection of how little work you have put in to understanding this strategy. I have just spent a few hours in a solver taking a look at how villain is supposed to respond to range checking, how we XR, and how different turns play out and honestly, I learned quite a bit. Asking myself questions like: is population actually playing like the solver output? Is population bluffing enough on certain runouts? What should my response be vs different node locks? I'm sure you have the tools to do all of this on your own. You paid for a year of BTS so you should almost definitely own a solver. If not, GTO+ is only $75 or something. And if you are not able to ask these sorts of questions during your own studying and need a coach to do the thinking for you... then I am sorry, you will not make it very far in this game. You refer to yourself as "an educator" so I hope that you will have some appreciation for students who put the work in to understand the material. Simply sitting and listening in on lectures does not equate to a deep understanding of the topic. It's like those students in university who ask "I went to every lecture, why did I do so poorly on the exam?". They then blame the professor for their lack of understanding despite having all the tools and resources available to ace the exam. Please don't be this person. Start taking some ownership over your results and stop expecting other people to do the work for you.
