Absolutely loving these videos and learning a ton from watching them. Would you apply similar strategies to a live 1-3 or 2-5 game? Feels like there may be many more opportunities at playing exploitatively and being balanced may not be as important. But I'd like to avoid having them become bad habits as I'd like to eventually move up to bigger games.

@@haumph id apply the same strategies but not in the way you think unfortunately. Live and online play end up looking very different from a action point of view, but the underlying theory is the same. Unfortunately it takes years to understand the theory, so for most players it’s easier to learn the action, and which does look different. Basically the theory is the same but you take different actions.

Cool random click from the algorithm. I enjoyed all the commentary and felt like I aligned with every play and justification besides one, utg open and we fold 88 in the sb. Yes I know you only play 3bet or fold BUT on anonymous sites is there no value in pure set mining from the sb? And I mean specifically sb versus utg open, having flats. Also when 3betting the utg's "strong" range they 4bet a lot anyways so all our 3bets get bloated. I like to experiment with flats from the sb versus utg, and once that door is opened I kinda think about traps that can backraise against the bb 3bet but it's starts to get silly. I understand the simplicity of 3bet or fold, and perhaps I am chasing some dopamine as you say and stubbornness to not play too boring. Anyways thanks for the content

For the zone poker, I saw that u wanted to see how the hand played out with 88s and u would’ve rivered a boat, so my question is how did u stay to watch the hand play out on zone after clicking fold, because once u click fold it automatically puts u into another table for next hand

That TT hand was surprising, but I checked a solver and it appears correct. If you check/jam river, opponent pretty much only calls with better boats and will even fold some combos of TT. If you check/raise 35% to 55% oddly enough they are supposed to fold JJ more often than TT. I'm guessing because when you have KJ you want to jam more often and when you have KT you want to raise smaller more often. AK actually becomes a call versus the smaller raise due to blocker effects whereas flushes and straights fold. In practice, it can probably be folded since people are likely to under bluff that line in general.

11:50 Not going for value on that pocket 10s boat seems wrong to me. You lose to K10(2 combos) JJ (3combos), KJ(6 combos) (and KK (1 combo). You said this level is weak so people will bet/call for value with the straights, flushes and weaker boat and possibly even KX. AQ alone (which he had) has more combos than all the hands that beat you and weaker players will call raises with straights and flushes on a paired board.

Yeah u could probably raise it but I’m trying to communicate that it’s a much thinner raise than it looks, and in practice is kind of borderline whereas most people will pile their stack in without a second thought and be shocked when they’re coolered.

Not raising TT OTT or OTR is a blunder IMO. He has only 12 combos of value that beat you, if we count all the offsuit KJ/KT as well. Meanwhile, you beat 16 combos of AQ, 4 combo Q9s, 16 combo AK/KQ for 36 combos you are ahead of.

That was a passive play w 10s against what happened to be AQ there. Villian has way more AK, AQ, and KQ there than he does JJ, KJ, and Quads…lol - A clear value raise on the turn/river and can even stack off if you get sizing right on turn. I think you may have got a little distracted with the JJ on the other board and lost some value Your only supporting argument was that reg players will fold AQ. But you’re dominating these stakes because you’re targeting recs…haha. If villian had million combos of JJ, KJ, and K10 (which you double block), he also has a million AK, AQ, and KQ, all of which recs will stack off with. I’m being very critical but good stuff, you’re definitely a strong player

If you really wanted to, you could carve out a small raise size but I was trying to say that it’s much, much thinner of a raise than it looks at first glance. And generally I’m not a fan of eeeking out tiny amounts of value through super thin raises, we just don’t get called by worse here over 50% of the time.
