Very well done man, tks a lot, keep it up!

[@adamroberts6244]

I think this is some fascinating stuff and a window into how top guys are actually looking at these nodes. There's not a lot of content like this out there. Feel free to call me stupid, but if IP is underbluffing missed front door flush draw combos in the second hand and not compensating with other candidates like JT, wouldn't that make EVERY bluff catch strictly worse, including Ah8h?

[@2CardConfidence]

Glad you find it valuable! And yes, you're exactly right. If they're under bluffing hearts and not compensating with other combos, that would be a deviation in frequency. Which would make all bluff catchers worse.

[@NoLongerGrilling]

For the A8hh to be a good call, opponent needs to not only underbluff hearts, but also overbluff the JT and other combos in order to meet required freq. Both are extremely unlikely, so it’s better to just keep snap folding ftw vs anyone not named Linus and Stefan 😅

[@anthonymaiorella4344]

Excellent video as usual

[@yoniker83]

This video is awesome, going to recommend it to my friends. You're a great teacher, and it will be nice if you can have more videos showing how we can study GTO by ourselves (ie not just how to use piosolver, but how to reach practical decisions, how to understand the output on a deeper level [for example, delayed c-bet BU vs BB looks random on so many boards that I fail to understand] etc).

[@2CardConfidence]

Appreciate your nice words! And thank you for the great suggestion, very helpful to hear what you want to know more about. I'll try to implement practical approaches whenever I can!

[@IIIiiIIiIiIi-h6h]

This video was the most fun and most beneficial of all your videos. Do you edit it yourself? How can you have good knowledge of poker, but the editing is so perfect. There is a reason why the video is late, haha Amazing thanks...

@2CardConfidence, that's why your editing style has changed. It was really good originally, but I was surprised that editing became so fun recently. I watched all the videos from the first video, but this video was the best, so I wrote comment. I look forward to it in the future. Thanks a lot really!

Thinking you have a reasonably logical, if not great, call, only for the opponent to show that he was value betting the nuts the whole time is classic poker moment

[@bobbychess5652]

Or Like, youre faced with a high bet on the River, you think the Hand threw, and it Just doesnt make sense. So you call. Your opponent Shows some random j6 two pair, he got, while waiting for His flushdraw." Oh yeah, that makes sense..."

Amazing edit ✍️

[@mattiasdesmidt1656]

Impressive, thank you!

[@lafk-lottyenaforrokave4700]

For the second scenario, this is why they invented block bet... but here already the turn raise was not make sense as Q,K type of hands, straigth draws, flush draws, etc call you. I think it is a check as a KQ board is favoring your range, you for sure who called you on the flop that has at least a Q, a flush draw, a straigth draw, etc. Worst case you can make fold a 7, but that can be done with a smaller size bet. This second secanrio was badly played, on the river that hero call was just the cherry on the top how this player got punished for his bad play. A8 in the first scenario seems a good call, but many factors has to be included. First of all, forget to continue on the turn with a 1/3 bet was a mistake as if then comes the over raise then you can fold your cards easily as nothing out there for your opponent, only 45 and 97 combos... and 97 probably folds pre-flop, so what left is 45 as a equity bluff. So we saw the earlier made mistakes what lead to the consequences and we started analizing the "consequence" parts, where actually the player already hanged himself... The moral of this stroy: A professional poker player even not committing the mistakes, so the consequences will not come after all.

great video

[@lewiscpowell]

Love your content. What do you think is the best way to study using these videos?

[@2CardConfidence]

What I hope to do is to spark some ideas about how and what to study. So for example after watching this video, you could go ahead and use the concepts for hands you want to analyze yourself. How many potential bluffs arrive at the river, how many of them would have to bluff in theory, how many would you expect your opponent to actually bluff?

[@smor729]

Omg dark is one of my favorite shows ever

[@jaxejaxejaxe]

The fact that the solver likes overbetting all the way down to K9o is so interesting. Without the solver I would consider it value-owning one self

I always heard the solver prefered to 3bet more polarized when in BB - but maybe that doesn't cound specifically vs SB?

[@2CardConfidence]

Yes, vs SB it's one of the most polarized

[@Coq7]

Second hand is trickier. More natural bluffs usable but some opponents will not jam kt kj k6 there. Meaning that the range composition will be totally different in practice.

[@jiaweimo5774]

its linus‘s world we r just live in it

[@att3578]

Why does the A blocker in the first hand matter. I understand that it unblocks a lot of bluffs since A high would normally check back but doesn't it also unblock value. Why would we compare hands that bluff to hands that check when we already know that villian bet. All that A high blocks is villains checking range not his value range. Great video by the way I'm just trying to understand

[@2CardConfidence]

Blocking or unblocking bluffs plays such a big role because bluffs occur less often than value bets in a balanced betting range. For example in these 2 hands, bluffs make up ~1/3 of the betting range and value bets make up ~2/3. So if you block one combo of bluffs, the impact it has on the overall range is bigger than blocking one combo of value. Extremely simplified example: if you have A8hh and your opponent's range would hypothetically consist only of AKhh, AKdd (2 value combos) and A4hh (1 bluff combo), having A8hh blocks 1 combo of value and 1 combo of bluffs. But what's left is 1 combo of value and 0 combos of bluffs in our opponents range.

[@att3578]

​@2CardConfidence ​ I really appreciate the explanation, but it's my current understanding that the Ace doesn't appear in either villians bluffing range or value range. I get what you are saying about blockers/unblockers having a greater effect on bluffing combos but it seems like the Ace shouldn't have any effect on this hand at all. Doesn't villian essentially eliminate any Aces from his range once he puts out a bet? Can't we already decide based off of that information that he can never have an Ace? Since he never has an Ace, why would we worry about blocking a card he can't even have? Once again thank you for the response. You are my favorite creator when it comes to teaching poker so I really appreciate the time to answer this question.

[@2CardConfidence]

Yes it's exactly what you're saying. That's what unblocking is :) Blocking(= having) a card he cannot have. Because by NOT having a card he could have and would bluff, we improve the chances that he has it and thus increase his bluffing frequency

[@2CardConfidence]

Example from the video: If we had T8, we would block some Tx combos that are bluffs. So the overall frequency of bluffs he has drops by a small amount. If we don't have the T or any other card that would be used as a bluff by him (like the A), we don't block value hands, but at least we also don't block bluffs and reduce the amount of bluffs that our opponent can have

[@gloomxglory]

[@mrcomment6644]

The end is the beginning. The beginning is the end

[@sudstahgaming]

Beyond me some of this solver stuff, difficult to put it all together, I am guessing we can all only take small pieces from it and try to apply it to our game.

This was great quality content. I have to say you’re creating better players which makes poker less enjoyable imo

[@BBshark000]

So by the same logic can I assume that all A8, A6 and A3 have the exact same properties on the river?

[@2CardConfidence]

Not necessarily, as different pairs can block more or less value hands, so 2 pair and sets, in your opponent's range. But in this case they are probably close in terms of their blocking capability in practice
