That last question sure was tricky ;) Thanks for having me, this was a lot of fun!

[@2CardConfidence]

Likewise, was indeed! But your questions were a lot trickier :D

Well done guys. Having subtitles is really great. I'm not good at English so I usually use automatic translation subtitles. Hope you will add subtitles in your next videos. Thanks a lot!!!

Great video. I am looking foward for the next video.

[@budapestgambit8946]

There's a lot of this in chess. If you watch top GM games they obviously play engine moves (solver strategy type play) but also play novelties and slight tweaks to play for wins and they feel gives them edge. I think this will be the poker direction.

[@Ramah1819]

In question #3 I think it is "bigger", if you look at the % bet size clearly in 3bet small it uses the large size much more

[@camilotm]

Helloo!,I got one quick question regarding question 6.In what refers to the answers, B) and C) may be kind of of similar? ,since the more polar you are,the more air you have in your betting range,so I would group them in only one answer maybe.Aniways,what I don't get is this point:The main question itself emphasizes to find the difference between those two situations (the smaller and the bigger 3bet size) ,but it seems to me that this BTNS betting range in the turn being more polar will apply to both situations (big and small 3bet size) basically for the nature of the lines and board.In that sense,wouldn't be more appropriate (considering what we are emphazising in the main question) to consider option c) instead?.Since the fact that we 3bet small(which would lead to having a smaller pot post flop),allow both ranges to be wider so,we are forced aniways to call a wider proportion of our range as sb vs a turb bet in order to avoid folding too much.At least if we focus on comparing the two situations ,that would be a more plausible answer to me.

[@2CardConfidence]

You're right that a more polar range and more air hands are pretty related. Regarding the difference between both the small and the bigger 3bet, the BTN's betting range is more polarized in the small 3bet line than in the bigger 3bet line (according to GTO). That's because the BTN has so many more offsuit broadways in their range which are not called against a bigger 3bet. So in the bigger 3bet line, instead of taking those offsuit broadways as bluffs on the turn, the BTN would choose more 8x hands to bet. Thus making their betting range less polarized than in the small 3bet line.

[@camilotm]

I think c) is not strictly incorrect , although looks too general ,but in this specific spot certainly the main factor that derives the difference is one range being relatively more polar than the other one resulting in d) or b) as possible answers .Thanks for the comment dude!

[@2CardConfidence]

It is actually :) I confirmed that by inserting both ranges into the respective other lines including pot sizes. And the results were still the same. So we can conclude that the pot size doesn't play a role in this case. Always happy to talk, thanks for the input!

[@camilotm]

@@2CardConfidence ohh I see,but you kept ranges constant right?.I guess I was like:" if the pot is bigger , making the pot bigger indirectly supposes a changue in both ranges (since to make it bigger at least pre flop would require to make a bigger 3bet,making both ranges stronger).and then It could be possible that 56s is in the turn one of the worst hands in our range to the point that it could possibly be part of our folding range (if we are suppose to fold something anyways)".

[@JoeVu]

what i don't get is i heard modern poker theory, utg, bet smaller --even with premium hand-. its less about protecting your hand rather building smaller pots when OOP. But then when its in the blinds, we're supposed to 3b big. Shouldn't the same theory of smaller bets OOPs? keep things manageable? Or is it because UTG we're RFI and in the blinds we're looking for fold equity?

[@saikgamingproductions]

16:29 i dont understand how BTN is more polar when they're using a smaller sizing

[@2CardConfidence]

The bet size on the turn is the same (%-wise). What's smaller is the 3bet that the BB made preflop, which has a deciding factor on both players' ranges

[@saikgamingproductions]

@@2CardConfidence sorry i meant how does the small turn sizing correlate to BTN being polar. if they were polar wouldn't they play big bet or check

[@2CardConfidence]

Yes, a big bet makes the range more polar than a small bet. What we were compairing here is the small bet in one line compared to the small bet in the other line. And they don't have to be similarly polar or unpolar (which they aren't as said).

[@tonythrowaway3327]

Haha great video 😂 nice ending

[@2CardConfidence]

👀💥

[@luoat7637]

precious content. Do you guys provide and CFP project?

[@2CardConfidence]

Thank you! Can only speak for myself and I don't

[@mrsalt548]

hmmm , my logic with the 56 hand,on turn is : smaller 3 bet pre means the stack to pot ratio is higher on turn , thats a reason to call more with 56 , so the pot is smaller was correct or not?

[@mrsalt548]

yea ok im also not calling to call river on a blanc , im calling to hit , so i need high pot to stack ratio ... u def also should fold here at midstakes

[@2CardConfidence]

No the size of the pot actually plays no role here. If pot and stack sizes were switched, the plays would still be the same :)

[@Mdevlin0]

Did not see that surprise ending coming! I was fully on board and would have made the same moves for the same reasons…I put the button on KJo or something similar 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@keniffkeniff]

Great format! Qing Yang really knows his stuff!

[@2CardConfidence]

He does!

[@JanosTCG]

How come only 56hh call the river, but not cc or ss? Usually I understand why, but not in this spot? Is it because they don't continue from earlier streets because we lack the backdoor flush draw?

[@2CardConfidence]

Yeah I looked for it and found that in solver land 56hh blocks more 45s in IPs value betting range. Why? Because 45hh bets the turn more often than the other combos. Why? Because OOP would never have A4hh, but the other combos. Why? Because A4hh wouldn't cbet the flop, but the others would... tl,dr: solvers gonna be solvers, but this is very likely not relevant for practice

[@JanosTCG]

Ty very much!!

[@vickyp-xm1zo]

Yeah, I’d prolly prefer the other combos here just incase we saw a wide float from an A6h type holding.

[@sub_7ero]

Why 65h be a call more often than 65s or 65c on the river? I cant’t understand

[@itsrrraven]

im shocked i actually got them all right, although my reasoning for the last one was a little incorrect it seems. my opinion was thought BTN SHOULD actually have the A6hh and K6hh that folds the flop, simply because as BTNs range is wider, they have to float a little more, and these feels like good candidates. in addition i thought solver would find more bluffs that arent 6x or 7x, so overall blocking the straight is more important than blocking the small amount of bluffs - which led to me to think it was an extremely close call, but a call nonetheless. however if solver doesnt have these combos anyway, its an even better call. Q6 was my favorite, i took about 10 minutes thinking on this one. love the video.

[@2CardConfidence]

Great to hear you put in the time to form your own thoughts. Which is much more important than the exact results the solver puts out - because in reality the constraints are almost always different

[@DreamChaserEiRi]

How this solver was created?

[@analogdistortion2906]

found question 3 a bit confusing because are we talking absolute size or %of pot? Since the flop pot is a different size in theory a bet could be smaller in absolute size but a bigger %

[@2CardConfidence]

Yes it's always the % of the pot. Could have made that clearer

[@_MMWWMM_]

All this talk, all this analysis, changing the preflop range according to sizing... Just for BTN to have top set anyway. They. Always. Have. It.

[@Rodinho37]

They will have bluffs based on gto lines too in this line and they are common on those stakes. Having the balls to make the right play is what makes them better than most people

[@greghamrock794]

Lmao love the ending 😂😂😂

👹

[@terencehill3972]

😂 I love the storytelling

[@katanaida]

For question 4 I am slightly confused with the explanation, I understood up to the point where giraffe says that the BB has a lot more junky hands which pull down the betting frequency, but then the conclusion is that the range bets more often? I don't get the logic, surely it would be the opposite where those junky hands are going to want to make it so we cbet less often?

[@2CardConfidence]

I think he said those junky hands are more present in the bigger 3bet line, no? So when the 3bet is smaller, the range contains less of them and can therefore bet more often

[@katanaida]

​@@2CardConfidence Oh, I see what you're saying because the range is more merged and less polar so there's less trash in it (offsuited low A type hands), I misunderstood completely, great questions, always love seeing analyses of Stefans play

[@1LevelUpGuy]

[@brunocesar7507]

Exploit faz GTO foldar várias vezes, mas uma hora GTO leva todo o pote

[@Rodinho37]

O GTO já representa o máximo do exploit e não são duas coisas distintas. Se você estiver jogando contra um jogador que está desviando da teoria, o 'Exploit' seria a aplicação do GTO com Nodelock nos ranges do adversário, e nesses níveis de aposta, todos jogam o mais próximo possível da teoria para não serem explorados. Às vezes, eles desviam para tentar buscar linhas não convencionais, onde os oponentes não estudaram muito, como essa do vídeo. No entanto, ainda assim, embasado na teoria

[@hcorazao1]

Amazing

[@Villerkutchen]

WAKE UP EVERYONE!

[@cheflev9884]

Isn’t exploitative and gto just a false dichotomy in poker? Every good player knows gto and I’ll take it a step further that all pro exploitative players also know gto but deviate because they have a tell.

[@2CardConfidence]

Yes, that's pretty accurate :)

How to donk off all your money and feel like you’re a genius.

[@SGProductions87]

1 thing i disagreed with is that you said early on that btn cannot have TT+ (presumably because he only called the 3bet) - that's obviously not true. it's unlikely TT or JJ will be 4bet (because they don't want to get 5bet) and QQ+ will obviously get slowplayed sometimes and QQ might even be included in the TT-JJ don't want to get 5 bet category. clearly btn treated 99 the same way. if he's playing 99 that way he's playing TT that way.

[@2CardConfidence]

Did I say that? Then yeah, you're right, those combos are obv in BTN's range. OOP has an overpair advantage is what I generally wanted to say

[@2CardConfidence]

[@nathanielveimau303]

QQ+ should get 4 bet almost always and JJ-TT could mix in BTN v Linear BB. Yes in live poker or 20NL online, people will do weird things like call with KK, but ranges will more closely resemble GTO in this game.

[@sneakerworldromania32]

How did i, basic 200nl reg answer all correctly, but the “ solver expert “ with a yt channel, manage to fuck up basic principles? Turns out all solver experts can only operate on their memorization. No creative problem solving at all. They’re all just a GTO Library for 100bb 6max cashgames.
