Yes!! Psychological side of poker!! I would love much more on this topic!! Controlling emotions, winning mind set etc. taking bad beats without wanting to either "hate" the game, or quit the game for too long! Ty, Brett

[@memphoWebb]

Thx coach. Imma watch again tomorrow and soak it in, but you just beautifully made some things come into focus for me. I’ll be searching your stuff out on PC from now on.

[@kylelooper2156]

Just a ton of solid information in this webinar. I think the main development that winning players have made over the past ten years is thinking in terms of ranges. As a guy who has pretty much followed Hold'em thinking since the days of rec.gambling.poker and the 2+2 forums, it's great that thinking has progressed to the point that it's possible to be unexploitable while still retaining the ability to exploit players who don't play perfectly.

Tyvm Evan, and PokerCoaching! Gonna re-watch all three webinars again just because although they're so basic, still very essetiial to the game :)

[@superfastmonkeysim5200]

Wow 😮 to me this explanation is spot on. Makes sense now

[@MaydayAggro]

It's spr btw, not psr. Stack to pot ratio. Stack 4, pot 1 = 4 spr. Psr would be 0.25.

[@Gos1234567]

How do you balance your bluff to value ration on the river in real time? Like when holding a bluff and have a plan to bet half pot how do you randomize this? I understand the theory but not how to apply it practically in game

[@idonthavemonkey]

For ratios, how do you account for the fact that you can bet for value and still be beat? For example, suppose you have Ad 9d, and the board is As, 9h, 2d, Kc, 7s. You might bet for value, but you still lose if villain has AK or a set.

[@MrOZ1117]

Great Material!! 👍

[@qazzaqstan]

For the golden ratios of value v bluff how do we count thin(ish) value hands? Are we supposed to be using different sizings for these and if so how do you reasonably construct 2 different bluff ranges or is it a spot that just has no bluffs?

[@bed2149]

You have 2 different sizes and I believe very rarely bluff because they have rlly good pot odds. Although you can use this exploitively by giving an opponent such good pot odds that they think you are betting solely for value and that you have a good hand.

[@qazzaqstan]

@@bed2149 Thanks. It has been a while since I posted, what I've come to do is a) Rarely go for thin value unless my opponent is just too call happy or fairly face up. b) Choose throw in some of my worst missed draws for that size when I think there is a reasonable chance they also have a missed draw It gives me a small number of bluffs and also greatly decreases my value combos.

[@mariosuperlative2]

One thing that confuses me about this bluffing frequency stuff. Let's say we're on the button, we open to 2.5x and we get a call from the BB. The board comes A27 rainbow. We clearly have a range advantage here; we can have AA and all the big aces, and the good hands our opponent can have are all hands we can have too (all the two pairs and sets other than AA, and all top pairs except probably AK and at least some AQ). Our opponent checks to us, as the vast majority will do with the whole of their range. Conventional wisdom dictates that we c-bet small here with most of our range. Let's say we bet 1/3 pot. Your chart dictates that we should be value betting 80% of the time. But if we say have a 60% c-bet and an 80% value bet, that suggests that 48% of the combos we got here with should be value combos. However, with a standard wide button range we have no made hand significantly more than 48% of the time. I think the reason for the conventional approach here is that the big blind is going to have massive difficulty continuing as much as he "should" even knowing that we're c-betting a lot, because so much of his range is absolute junk - is he really going to be able to call with something like Q10? But am I correct in thinking that, according to your own logic, it's not really sound in game theory terms to be betting small with a huge chunk of your range in this spot?

[@MrOZ1117]

Can you please provide the names of the books from Ed Miller and James Sweeney that you refer in the video at 44:02

[@olehougaard]

Ed Miller's "Poker's 1%" at 52:26. Don't know about James Sweeney.

[@eschneider317]

Excellent presentation thank you

[@eschneider317]

My question would be: how do you figure out that betting size?

[@zeptime3473]

How likely is it to win a set up on a later street! Nice.

[@mrx7181]

14:27 the only reason I'm skeptical about this math is the fact that in holdem were gonna be bluffing way more often than value betting if we're taking the right amount of aggressive action... right?

[@peterhebden1557]

No

[@TrueGoat-Bahhh]

Now am I to understand from the hand tier slide and explanation at around 27 min , that an AKo should be looked at no better then 22- 66 as a tier 3 preflop hand , or was this some small overlooked detail bringing down the AJs+ range from tier 1 to make an AJo+ range for tier two , doing the same with KQo ? Also for tier 3 i believe 76s+ and 97s+ should be 76s+ and 97o+ , which makes sense with 97o+ you have two over cards against a 66+ the cap of tier 3 pocket pairs , also when you take the AJ+ range from tier 1 and make it off suit they play the same on a rainbow board . In writing it down for personal study i have made said adjustments . Okay, I decided to look through the comments first before commenting and I see why AKo in particular should be left in tier 1 as it makes truly top pair/kicker but the rest of the AJo+ I think could justifiably be put in tier 2 . As for KQo I realize if not from Evan saying it explicitly then from the fact that i only justify call AKo Tier 1 is because it is true top pair/kicker and KQo fails at both . If no one comments on a year old video I'll understand but move forward with the following S+ - AA AKs S - KK-JJ AK-ATs KQs A - TT-77 AQ-ATo A9-A2s JTs+ B - 66-22 76s+ 97o+ C - Suited connectors , suited gappers , suited Kings 9-2 D - Suited two gappers , suited Queens 9-2 , Suited Jacks 9-2 , unsuited aces 9-2 At 100BB , though at say 15 BB i think certain C and D hands would be effective A and maybe even JJ+ effective S+ If I'm wrong and someone would correct me that would be great . Also i know i added an extra super high value range but that is for calling meaningful all ins in tournament play IE top stack vs 5th stack preflop all in for bet after like making a big three bet as one would with S tier hand (and maybe 1/8 of the time with D or C tier and select A tier hands like 1/2 times though i'm 100% sure i will refine this bluff frequency later ) I feel like that makes alot of sense and might improve my play , Please make corrections if errors are seen

What software are you using for hand analysis?

[@mattbutler5867]

are the charts such as the golden ratio for various bet sizes available in pdf to members or non-members?

[@raymacdonald8371]

Under this analysis AK os is a tier 3 hand whereas A7 s is tier 2 and QKs is tier 1. I understand suited hands have ability to make flush but I don't understand how this small percentage outweighs fact both hands dominated.

[@MaydayAggro]

AKo is tier 1. He just left it out of the slide. The other hands are obviously correctly placed.

[@raymacdonald8371]

@@MaydayAggro ty makes sense. Does he place QKos in tier 3?

[@hymnofashes]

Don't bother with this, just be a set mining nit and hope some drunk pays you off or eight people call and you have aces in the small blind. Poker players at the lowest level never bluff for real money and always pay off. So just wait for the nuts and watch penguins on your phone.

[@hymnofashes]

Also, because rake is flat $10 the pot is going to be empty on the flop no matter what you do, so protect your range by open limping your entire range! Bonus: you can't get 3-bet if you don't raise! And even better, you can limp-min-3-bet your entire playable range and put any loose raiser in a horrible spot where they have to call off dominated or fold to a tiny raise without even seeing the flop!

[@akhil251179]

I can't quite tell if u are serious or trolling.. either way it's very funny

[@hymnofashes]

@@akhil251179 Since all donks play a 40bb stack or less, you don't need to worry about having any bluffs on the river because everyone is committed on the turn. So that means you don't need any weak hands in your range to turn into bluffs!
