When to Slowplay Strong Hands In Poker

[@PokerGiraffe]

Thanks again for having me - was a pleasure as always!

12:10 good anticipation on that question coming in because that was my exact thoughts, at low stakes in my experience, a flop check raise gets folded against at a very very high rate which makes it very profitable at a bluff but also tough to get value from strong hands

Top & bottom 2p gets counterfeited by middle paired turns/rivers

Hi! This one wasn't mentioned in the video so I thought I'd ask here, what about the incentive to fast play in case if the board gets 'scary' and we lose value vs hands that would have called a raise on an earlier street? Does this effect happen in solvers? Or is it just a case of humans underdefending on certain boards?

[@Nikita-wt1bu]

It was in video

[@PokerGiraffe]

Yup - if your opponent is not underdefending, and your hand doesn’t deny any equity, then logically you should get the same amount of value on the river. Even if he folds some 1p hands on a scary runout, he should still be calling with other hands that would have folded on a blank runout.

the problem is addressed at 21:00

@@PokerGiraffe thanks! I guess this is a corollary of a lack of incentive to deny equity.

11:46 looking over this spot where we are suppose to raise with our strong hands, I'm just wondering what it means exactly when it says raise 50% or 100%. Is that of the pot? Does that include our call? For example if pot is $100 and villian bets 30% and we raise 50%. His bet is $30 so total pot is $130 meaning 50% is $65 which is like a min raise? Seems low? Or did I calculate total pot wrong and it's suppose to be his bet+call+pot which would equal $160 so a 50% raise would be $80? Or maybe I was suppose to add the 50% to his call so in my first example my raise would actually be $95 ?

The raise sizes are displayed in pot%, however you can change it to big blinds if you prefer. Check out this article to learn how to calculate raises in poker: blog.gtowizard.com/how-to-calculate-raises-in-poker/

The first "algorithm" was conceived in 2007. The first publically available solver, Piosolver, was launched in 2015. It was written by a set of polish programmers named Piotr and Kuba. Although a handful of pros had access to solvers prior to that. Read more about the history of solvers and how they work: blog.gtowizard.com/how-solvers-work/
