Thanks for non-postle content. Burnt out on that clusterfuck

[@truthmoneyfreedom1584]

Some GTO analysis of Postle hands sounds like a fantastic idea to me lol

[@Romans8-9]

@@truthmoneyfreedom1584 90% plus of his hands are exploitative for obvious reasons, so doing a GTO analysis would probably be a waste of time.

Yes people let this distract them from the fact that Triton didn’t release the much awaited televised cash game with Llinus, trueteller, jungleman, etc... after the short deck.

[@keithmason1485]

I'm just thumbs upping before I even watch because I'm liking the fact that you posted a vid. Now that I've watched the video I can say this is very helpful because I'm looking for ways to add river donking into my game, very trick spot. One thing I can gauge from here is that we can use the river donk when our opponent is likely to check back with a lot of hands that are worse than ours but would call a bet, and then we can mix in some bluffs that block that same calling range.

I really enjoy when you break down the tournament hands and you switch back and forth between ICM and no ICM pressure. I feel like I'm getting two videos for the price of one. Awesome!

Having never used the software myself, I am simply amazed at how much information is contained on one page of Pio. And all without undue clutter! Brilliantly designed.

No dislikes Only ♥️ Best poker community..And this channel deserves everybit of love for the work they're showing

[@thomasdionisi3483]

Good analysis as always :) For the donkbet river it donks more because you have only 1 raise size (3x) but 4 different sizes after checking, and I don't think 3x is pio's favourite raise size, so it forces IP to use a bad sizing. If you rerun the sim and put more raising sizes on the river (even just all in) I guess pio will still donk a bit on a T or a 8 but i'm almost sure that it will check close to 100% on an offsuit K or anything not especially good for OOP.

[@tobiasziegler167]

damn i wanted to be the smart one who points out this flaw. if your opponents range has the nut ADV and you can force him to only get 1200 into the pot instead of betting 2100 in a check/check scenario the solver obviously favors donk bets way more than it should. still a good video though

[@-0rbital-]

Love your videos. I’m surprised you don’t have more followers. Your analysis seems great yet easy to follow.

pretty good and reasonable analysis once again. i really appreciate your content :)

Could you maybe consider doing some high stakes online cash game hand's analysis, I think majorty of your audience are cash game grinders, I love your analysis even more then from some premium coaching sites:)

[@FindingEquilibrium]

Yeah I play almost only cash as well. I think most people like watching the live games but I will consider it.

[@colemorton9338]

@@FindingEquilibrium High stakes live cash usually 25/50/100 on Live At The Bike might be a good compromise. In particular hands involving Garrett, Art and Andy.

[@lfgamble3924]

I was under the impression that these spots on the flop like monotone boards, and paired boards. U want to check alot whether ur strong or not. For multiple reasons. Unless ur against an icm leveraged player deep in a tourney. I.e. in a cash game, u want to check these flops when ur strong to protect ur checking range. Also, what r u gonna get called by? And, if u cbet bluff these boards too often, its very ez to play against u. These boards r my favorite to checkraise an agg opponent on as a bluff.. cuz, how can they call with nothing here.. especially when the turn makes the board look even stronger, and i continue.. alotta of equity gets picked up an lost on these boards. As the aggressor, my point is. Im USUALLY checking back this flop. Just me.

[@ba55log1c]

Hooked on these since coming across your channel. Shame about the other vids being removed, some nice content!

[@KamratKamala]

Great as always!

[@randalthor845]

It is important to realize this is actually likely a very good fold even if it isn't GTO. This line is typically very unbalanced by weaker fish players like Maria.

[@gastonangelini8352]

Hahaha good joke

[@amalguptan6716]

Maria is a fish? Remind me how much do you have in cash earnings?

[@heavyonthemustardplz]

[@caiopessagno]

@finding equilibrium best channel, thanks a lot for the content! it would be nice, if u compare some monotone boards which contains some high cards, blocking PFAs value range, showing how it affects the playability and how significant is that drop in agressors ev

[@nikolaydanshin8149]

Great one, thanks!

[@henriquezuiani4235]

Even after the explanation, I didn't understand the donkey bet on the river. Basically in my thinking you only get called buy flushes or raised by nut-flush. Even the fact the she doesn't hold a 9 of diamond just make me more willing to check river and play my trips as bluff cacther 100% of the time. I mean, from what worse hands would call the donkey bet, so to extract money I would just check and induce another bluff

[@keithmason1485]

Because theoretically you should be getting called by worse. All overpairs are going to check back but may talk themselves into a call. If you get raised you fold, since very few people are capable of bluffing here, and you're going to call most bets anyway.

[@On3Thought]

To balance your range.

[@keithmason1485]

@@On3Thought well if you check 100% of your hands you're technically perfectly balanced as well.

[@richbuckingham]

The donk (I think) is really there to balance out your bluffs, of which you have many here, people rarely flop flushes (119:1) and with this board there's so many other draws from the flop and turn that are continuing that when the T comes on river you're going to donk and represent you had that the whole way or some other made hand as everything else missed. Here a donk is getting called 39% of the time by stuff as low as 77 and even AJo and AKo, the solver is going for max EV so what a donk lead says is that there's a lot of value to be had even without a flush here and the donk is the way to maximize it and trips is still considered value for sure.

[@sergiozack974]

Richard Buckingham our value hands should always (in theory) be balanced with bluffs so it’s not the answer here imo. You start to building a donking range on the card that favors callers (your) range. In this example T is good for us cos we have many TP from BB and IP player should check back river with some strong hands on this river.

[@Stefan_Heinrich]

around 7 minutes i dont understand why a made flush needs no protection. Dont you need to protect against 4 to the board Acehigh flushes and thelike?

[@FindingEquilibrium]

I don't believe I said no protection. If I did, that was a misstatement. I meant it needs less protection relative to many other hands, especially since there are already at least 6 out of 13 suits removed. In contrast, most top pair holdings need protection from higher top pairs, sets, two pair, straights, etc.

[@Stefan_Heinrich]
