NLH 500nl-2knl cash games | Play and explain Ep.1

Hi everyone, welcome to the first episode of my cash game play and explain series. In this game we're in the 500nl, 1knl and 2knl streets. We're doing well and then run QQ into AK at 2K... can we win the flip?

at 29:40 it also means you get to checkraise your entire continue range small, if you node lock a solver. Good luck knowing how to continue from there though :D

Sorry were you referring to the KJ2 board or the monotone board?

[@PhonyBologna]

​@@JakoPokerjust in general in 3b pots oop, often solvers punish non 100% cbets by folding nearly the same range, but continue via raising small, say 2.25x a 30% cbet. It will split sizes if you give it many options but I don't like splitting on flop. At least PIO does this when node locking.... But it's so hard with such a small sample to know if villain is betting appropriately. Essentially solver just wants more money in the pot because it's near impossible to defend more hands profitably via calling. So instead it leans into a Jx and Kx and gutshot, OESD range and effectively raises your entire continue range. Even Ax suited with bottom pair would raise. This benefits from denying your opponents free equity making them invest more with their trash versus getting a free river. IE A hand like say A6s checks back turn spikes an Ace vs your QJs or whatever. It's counter intuitive and honestly makes villains play very unpredictability... Just letting you know solvers punish by raising. This is also why Michael Adamo (tournament agro guy) got away with murder as people simply weren't raising him enough and he was realizing all his equity.

To continue on this... You essentially play the turn as if you had called a normal Cbet and check a TON when called. It plays much like raising a merged range from BB vs BTN you check a ton on turn.

What HUD are you using? Is that a dynamic HUD?

[@JakoPoker]

DriveHud2 which works well for ignition. I don’t think it’s a dynamic hud - also given the games are anonymous only VPIP/PFR and 3b are really of any use
