Flopzilla Pro | Adjusting Ranges and the Hotness Function

[@zainsyed9811]

Thanks for the great videos. Learning a lot :) One observation - on the flop our equity is actually around 48% with our specific hand (if we selected our actual suits in flopzilla using the suit selection toggle). The 31% equity is when we don't specify what suits our JTs actually is (as then we have a 1/4 chance of having a flush draw on that flop)

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Good point! Thanks, Zain.

[@Владимир-я1з5ш]

Pleasant voice, deep dive into strategy + quite visually informational presentation. Thank you, sir.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@barr5173]

Thanks, I am going to go for Flopzilla Pro, not a fan of monthly/yearly subscription for Equilab, and I will be checking your videos to learn how to use it.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Good choice!

[@silviofrigo3293]

Nice!! Thank you. I liked your configuration HUD. Can you explain how to do it? Thanks

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Thanks, Silvio. My HUD is called the Smart HUD for PokerTracker 4 and it comes with 7 custom popups and you can get it here: www.smartpokerstudy.com/poker-products/smarthud

Great and helpful information again and again. But, what i didn't understand is why did we assume that the player (oppenent) sits on the MP instead of UTG, what changes the whole math. Is it becouse 4 handed game or smthng else? Thank you...

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Exactly, 4-handed is why. I consider every position in relation to the button. He might not see it that way. From his perspective, he might have been playing his UTG range. But I can't know that, so I would presume to put him on his likely wider range.

​@@SmartPokerStudy Thanks for the enlightining info, Sky. I appricieate and great respect to your educational poker videos,podcasts which are full of information as far as your teaching skills

[@hubomba]

If you want to do hand vs range equity like the old flopzilla you can also click on the range you want to go up against and then click on the singular person next to the cog wheel on the left ( left of the funnel above the range menu). Dead cards are your hand. I figured that out by accident.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Yep, you got that right.

[@qtip4747]

Is there a way to see the hotness function against only a single range? Like it was in the older version.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Yes, the older version required a range, a board and a hand to play against. This one works the same. Switch it to multi-player mode then enter in a range. Add a range by hitting the large + button and enter in a single hand. Expand the window downwards so you can select the exact suits of the hand. Now enter in the board and BAM! Hotness is there for you.

[@qtip4747]

@@SmartPokerStudy Is there a way to see it against a single range though?

[@SmartPokerStudy]

You can't do a hotness with a single range. Hotness looks at which future cards help to improve different ranges. If you only have one range, there's nothing to say if the 7s is good for the range or not. It has to be compared to another range.

Hello i have a question that maybe others might want to know. Can I use Flopzilla pro to get better at poker if i already know the basics. I don't have much money and can't afford to pay fr courses but i already have flopzilla thanks for your answer

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Absolutely! Do 2 full-on hand reading exercises every day in relation to your strategy focus each week. So, if you're working on cbet bluffing this week, find two hands that went to showdown where you made the cbet bluff or didn't make it (basically, cbet bluffing opportunities). Assign your opponent a preflop range of hands then narrow that range through the streets. Use showdown to confirm the preflop range you assigned and how you narrowed them through the streets. You'll find loads of mistakes you make this way and when you play during the week, try to NOT repeat those same mistakes. This is going to help you 3-fold: 1) you're developing hand reading skills which you'll start using in-game 2) you're studying cbet bluffing (or whatever strategy you're working on) via your own hands 3) you're learning to review your play and find/fix mistakes.

Excelente video, me aclararon todas mis dudas , tanto de analizar el rango en general como una mano en especial todo en el modo multi rango!!! 👌🙂

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Muchas gracias, Mario

[@AmandaElizabethN]

Excellent video! Extremely helpful. Thanks

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lucianobarros2058]

Hey man. Great vid there. Is there any chance i could get that spreadsheet, please? Cheers

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Thanks, Luciano. The spreadsheet was nothing special and had no formulas. It was just a way for me to show the break-even math I used.

[@NonameyeT708]

Thanks for the video!!) I would love to see more of your videos with flopzilla analyze

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Thanks and I'm planning on making many more.

[@muel294]

Flopzilla doesn't seem to affect villains range for the purposes of card removal when we input our hand vs villains range like this

[@SmartPokerStudy]

I think it does. If you select AA for the range that's 6 combos (shows this below the range builder). Then enter in AK for the dead cards, you'll see the # of combos in the AA range goes down to 3.

[@muel294]

SmartPokerStudy yes if you select dead cards as “hand” and input a range into the range window. However, in multiway mode where we pit 2 ranges only vs one another it doesn’t seem to work. I havent tried but i guess if we had the dead cards as our hand vs 2+ ranges then it would work in this manner.

[@Giovani90]

love your videos thank you very much man!

[@SmartPokerStudy]

I appreciate that, Giovani

[@CONSTANTINEPOKER]

Are you working as a dubbing artist? I love it haha !

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Thanks!

[@botmac1732]

Nice video, very informative

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Thanks

[@dastan770]

He is not Cbetting and 2nd barrell all his range so you should add new range for the Flop and Turn for him, it changes a lot..

[@SmartPokerStudy]

I understand what you're saying, but once you assign a preflop range, that's his range for the entire hand. Now based on his post-flop actions, you narrow that range. If the worse suited-gapper in his range is T8s preflop, but then he check-raises on the 753 flop, you can't add 64s into his range. You think he wouldn't play that preflop, so he can't have it on the flop. Narrowing the range by turning the blue filters on/off is the only way to keep the preflop range intact but removing hands that don't fit their actions.

[@dasit6034]

2:21 It's not actually accurate. Rake makes you need more than 0.1% equity over breaking even.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Gotcha, thx

[@kristian8263]

Thank you!

[@SmartPokerStudy]

YW

[@mattbrick1246]

you're not 3betting AQs?

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on the opponent.

[@roumi123]

do you own a cooking channel also ?

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Nope, although I do enjoy cooking :)

[@masstransitrecords7865]

You actually need 41% to break even because of the rake. Don’t forget the rake

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Great reminder, thanks!

[@j_3009]

Horrible play. You should shove river. Not call 1$. If he has a 9 or pocket JJ,QQ,KK, AA is not going to bet only 1$. If you shove that hand in microstakes , recreationals will pay you with 77+. Flop is better to reraise and second barrell 2/3 on the turn if he calls.

[@SmartPokerStudy]

Gotcha, thx
