What an amazing video!!! I have been studying your material for already some time but making very small progress on NL10 (PokerStars) while battling variance. (used to be a HU sng reg) What was even worse is that lately I was getting really bored from poker and wasn't enjoying it at all, playing ABC, waiting for 'good spots' etc... These bluffing spots you mentioned? Would never ever even consider them. Have some showdown - just check it back bro, no need to bluff...now? Omg... especially at micro stakes there are so many spots where opps are checking with some showdown value and folding to big overbets etc i feel like just this video improved me by 30%. Now it's time to study these bluffing spots even more to get it on my subconscious level:) btw - the ending where u only showed hands that you LOST so we aren't result-oriented just shows how amazing a coach you are 👏👏

Dynamite stuff. Used the first pattern in a hand tonight, where I never would of have considered before! Another note, I feel like I sometimes struggle with acting “natural and relaxed” on my bluffs while my opponent tanks and talks to me. I’m finding that the confidence of being absolutely sure I’m making a good play goes a long way to authentically feeling indifferent to outcome.

@CarrotCornerPoker Жыл бұрын

Yeah I find that enjoying bluffing as much as possible and making peace with any result before you bluff helps. Dreading the bad result ‘normalises giving up’ as a certain controversial poker figure might say.

I have youtube premium and this feels like overpaying. tl;dr, bluffing is incentivized when vil is wide, or you have good blockers, or you have a hand with 0 showdown. When is the last time you guys didnt bluff when you had a crappy hand with no showdown value. Also he was happy to talk about how much +ev some bluffs were but neglected to explain the -ev calls you are supposed to make

@mackerhacker76 Жыл бұрын

@@stormkk can u elaborate on -EV calls “you are supposed to make”? Do you mean -EV from the pov of the whole hand? If not I thought by definition -EV calls should not be calls as fold is the better line at 0EV.

Thanks again. First example. In the real world the checking range of villain is even weaker than GTO and more change our bluff will print ev. The second examples scares me a little bit :) I am really surprised our equity is that high on a lot of turn cards. ., With a k or A river i would definitely bluff, against tags i would bluff from now on because they will value bet thinly, but against more passive players at 25nl i prefer a give up.

The point about being able to envisage the +ev of a line/action is very hard to grasp because it takes imagination to see the same +ev bluff (in situation 1) where it does work by not being callled

@skyrmusic Жыл бұрын

I often play with a different sizing on the River with the 53's hand. I often use 30/40bb or shove. The strongest hand of Villain is A6s (2 combos) and all of his second strongest hands are a top pair (AJ-) and I'm pretty sure that near of all of the pool will never call a top pair against a shove.

These exploits definitely exist. Your line makes very little sense for value in spot 1 when you make a giant overbet but most people won’t care about that.

@Doblou13 Жыл бұрын

How is "bet check bet on favorable runnouts" (hand #2) a mandatory bet if we are giving up with 8 high on the river (87s) or T high (T8s) for example? Considering this a "must bluff" spot seems wrong to me.

If there was zero loss when your bluff got called this would hold but you have to factor in the additional chips risked, not just the win frequency. That being said these spots are typically a risk/reward ratio that is in your favour.

On the last hand, I think exploitatively the triple barrel wouldn't really work because when you look at the hands folding on the river (21:53), there are a lot of hands that most people would have already folded on the turn (KQo, KJo, KJs, KTs). And without all those hands folding, this river spot is going to be underfolded (especially since BB is also supposed to fold some AJ/AT/A9 on the river which most people would call). So I think bluffing wider on the turn and giving up on the river would work better in practice.

@agnorax Жыл бұрын

This is absolute horseshit. This type of thinking is literally why you're likely to be hardstuck low stakes with a terrible redline. You're not expecting an Ace to fold when youre trippling here. Villain has loads of 8x, 7dXd some 99 etc that are going to call the turn but fold to a river bomb. You will have some weaker villains that may even fold A2-A5s facing a 150% river overbet (they shouldn't but some % of the reg population do). When you're in this node you also have to recognise that villains have had the opportunity to 3b pre but called, to XR flop with some 88 but called, XR turn with some 7788 nutted hands etc but called and now arrive at river. Some vils will greed donk here with some of their value some % of time so their range is further weakened. 2 barrel and giving up always on boards like this is an absolute crime

@rogorz_ Жыл бұрын

@@agnorax I think you missed that I referred to the specific sim showed at 21:53. You say "You're not expecting an Ace to fold when youre trippling here", but the sim clearly shows that villain is supposed to fold a portion of his AT, A9, A4, A3. Even AJ is mostly folding, which is not something people do. That's my point, that most villains won't fold those hands, which makes the spot underfolded. Which means that a normally breakeven bluff become -EV in that situation. I'm not saying that Villain never folds, there are definitely a lot of hands that fold, I'm just saying that if Villain folds less that they should, then a breakeven bluff becomes losing.

@@agnorax think about your weakened range theory. How often Is the Caller meant to Raise with such a nutted hand as 88-77 on a board where the paired aces on flop makes the OR triple barrelling so frequent?The J9 combo Is only slightly winning in a GTO world, if you block some of the Caller defense across flop and turn you'll probably get that this combo Is slightly losing vs a NL25-NL50 field as the flop and turn bet Will overperform in terms of Fold Equity given the paired Aces on the board

@CarrotCornerPoker Жыл бұрын

My experience is that people fold more bigger hands than most players expect. We don’t get shown what they fold. We do see their calls. I think there’s a bias in a lot of these situations and am generally really wary of unquantified exploitative claims. Mass data suggests there’s more fold equity than we like to assume in quite a few spots.
