Tony has been milking that maniac image for 10-15 years now. He’s not a maniac and when he bombs he generally has something good, whether good draw or good made hand. I would challenge anyone to find a hand tony has played in the last 5-10 years where he’s just blasting off like Viffer.

[@Gos1234567]

Yea he never bets too big with his bluffs either,I haven’t seen him do some of the check raise bluffs that pio would recommend.I think he’s quite tame compared to GTO

[@kkkkdidikddd9033]

Haha funny comment.. best players blast off very often.. If u not blastin off time to time u doing it wrong

[@DrunkOfficeTea]

You just watched him bet 100k with a 10 high flush on a paired board, what exactly do you consider blasting off if that's not it? Did you not watch the Triton series, there's multiple hands were he loses his shit and that's just the Montenegro game. Looking back over the years there's lots of spots he tilts hard and talks himself into some pretty terrible calls or just goes off hoping to bully people out of pots. He's a pretty bad player, definitely agro, he's just rich that's all.

[@KKSuited]

​@@DrunkOfficeTea he's rich because of poker though, so pretty invalid. If you judge him in a vacuum based off the streams you remember him in, I'm sure you could judge him harshly. Tony G has been playing winning poker for a long time at nosebleed stakes.

I find the "blueprint" very instructive. But I remain unsure how to include appropriate mix of bluffs in macro & meso levels, and more generally how to think about polarizing range within this framework. Perhaps it will become clear as you continue to use the framework to inform your analyses. Thanks for sharing knowledge!

[@bigbiyyy]

Youre lit this is massively productive content

[@srki22]

I have one suggestion. When you look at what is the UTG range for raising I think that it is better to look at MTT solution than pokermaster, because pokermaster assumes that you raise 3.5x which is awfull because there are antes so 2.5x like it is in MTT (and what TonyG is using) is much better. Yes, it is not a straddle solution but there is no much difference from UTG perspective. Also TonyG is LAG so he raises more frequently thant 3.5x range suggests.

[@FindingEquilibrium]

Yeah - I am not sure how close the GTO straddle ranges are to how people play in real life but it's hard to know what adjustments to make. It seems like the straddle range is similar to MTT ranges but with 1/2 the effective stack so I may use that range for the next one.

[@brucewayne5221]

[@ewallt]

On the monotone board, should a small flush raise to protect against higher one card flush draws?

[@KKSuited]

If thats not a yes then IDK what else would be. I'm always targeting weaker made hands like top-top or two pair and trying to push out draws and folding to large bets on the river, where well disguised bigger flushes will show themselves. If I sometimes overfold a small flush to a set that overestimated itself, that's usually better than calling it all off to a well played big flush.

[@ewallt]

@@KKSuited This is 2 years ago, so I can’t remember anything. Heck, just remembering yesterday is tough. But thanks for the response! It gave me a chance to rewatch this video. It’s a pleasure to watch videos this well done. The point about AJ in the first hand betting having nothing to do about the hand, but only the range, was very interesting.

[@CrankSick]

In hand 2, you said that the turn card was better for Llinus range, but skipped over what the solver would do in his shoes. Is the check automatic despite it being a better card for him?

[@FindingEquilibrium]

Mainly calling (95%+), but if you nodelock to make Tony G more aggressive with flush draws the amount of raising will increase.

[@BigJoJoJoJo]

what? I thought the neck pulse check is the most GTO read you can make

[@bruwar]

Very interesting hand in episode 6 (minute 32:00). Linus (vs. Haxton) flops an ace high fd on a low board; cbets 1/3 pot and checks on a favorable turn for his range (which was surprising to me). I would be very interested in seeing the solver input on that.

[@TheEpicChronicles]

Tony obviously doesn't play gto but I've seen the different episodes of this cash game and he's pretty good in chatting and confusing people in order to bluff or to get the max value. He's a very skilled live player but not a GTO one for sure.

[@clot8446]

Hey, Big fan watch all your videos from the beginning. Don’t comment often as I’m generally Always behind the theory that GTO offers and you explain very well. In that first hand, you discuss Linus’s decision to bet on the turn which is what pio does with 95% of its range and mention that the exploitative route to check here does not differ in EV from the GTO route to bet on this turn. However it seems to me that an opponent like Tony G has all the random two pairs on this board but has way more pair+straight draws and junk one pair hands that Linus can’t extract value from on the turn ( Because the king favors his range ) but could on the river by calling a bet which tony could fire on various scary rivers such as one liners to a straight or paired low card as well as going for some thin value when checked to as he has AQ Or AJ or maybe low Suited aces that didnt connect but had a backdoor flush draw on the flop, ( Although tony had the AoH he doesnt block these combos), so Tony could be inclined to go for a call there. On the long run, I think being unbalanced against certain player types may result in a larger EV difference compared to straight GTO.
