Cool video, especially for a long time online player with little live experience. Few questions: 1) Do you recommend simply using the 4x open sizing in live play? (seems very unusual to me) if so, why? 2) What would the most important exploits be from various positions in typical mistakes live games? Again, as a primarily online player, many of these ranges look very different from, say, those found in Acevedo‘s modern theory book. Do you have any vids on how best to deviate exploitatively in various live games? 3) Do you recommend agreeing to chop generally, if most players in certain games generally do? If you decide to not chop, do you like the sb solution here, as opposed to a strategy with lots of sb limps (which, again, seems to be the gto trend amongst good players online)? Appreciate the vids, solves and most of all your insight!

1. Use a 4x sizing and +1 bb for every limper when ISO’ing. Reason is players in the live realm aren’t studied or knowledgeable about how to alter their defend ranges vs different sizing, so exploitative you’re attempting getting the maximum. 2. Live exploits can be its own video series.. you have so many exploits live that don’t exist in the online realm: Tells, player type analysis (based of clothes, age, gender, personality, and drug vices(drinking at the table, leaving to smoke ect.), exploiting positional advantage is actually greater in low stakes live games due to the player pool are for the most part broken up into 4 groups (fish, nits, donkeys, and Regs) and once you study them at the table you’ll find your exploits, Majority of players only 3-bet JJ+ and nits don’t often 3-bet AK, listen to how they talk about a hand because it give you insight to how they view/play the game and from their you can extrapolate what’s the optimal exploits vs this player. If you want to learn more about tells then read or watch Caro’s book of tells, and how to Analyze people by David T Abbots. 3. Do not fucking chop! Unless it’s a reg, you feel you have little to no edge against. If you studied SB vs BB ranges you’re 10000 miles ahead of the pool, and it will be your largest +EV spot consistently. Also people asking you to chop 9/10 indicates weakness, and when they say no chop they have a jackpot potential hand.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I believe the solver suggests to play A5s 100% of the time compared to pocket 9’s 50% of the time from UTG because with A5s, you meet all the criteria for what’s considered a good hand, you have an Ace, yes so your kicker is a 5 but … you have an Ace in your hand 💪💪💪 So with A5s, you have highness, straightness and flush potential all three combined in one hand. This is in addition to the normal two pair, and tripe potential too. You can flop a lot of things with A5s. Pocket 9’s on the other hand, MUST hit the flop, which is less likely, over cards are likely to come, so the hand (99) can be tough to play for value oop, and with so many people yet to act, it’s very likely someone will wake up with something juicier than pocket 99s. If a 9 doesn’t hit flop, get out!!!, you’re not likely to improve your missed 9. So that’s why the solver recommended 100% play for A5s and 50% for 99s from UTG.

You're very welcome! Answers: 1. We ran the solve with 0% rake. 2. Keep in mind that each AXs only has 4 combos, so it's not a massive part of the range. That said, it would make sense that A5s > A2s since A5s can pair the 5 and be ahead of 22-44, whereas A2s can never do that. There is possibly some postflop texture blocking effects too...

This is incredible, James! It would be great if you could research a strategy that includes open limping as well, and it would also be great to solve for different open sizings like 3bb, which would probably be wider, and compare 4bb vs. 3bb strategies for which is higher EV overall.

Realize this is a starting point for raising and very generalized in the solver. Many factors depend on the table and players. Like in my games I do not raise at all 55 and 66 UTG. There are too many set over set situations where I get crushed and lose a stack that doesn't compensate for all the raise steals or reiase-CB steals. 77 is the cut off for me assuming KK+ 3bs. I like raising 0 gap suited connectors down to 76s. But this is due to my games and every game is different. As an exaggerated example imagine a game where players play fit or fold and always raise 2 pair + and fold when they miss. They never bluff and once 1 callers no one else does. You can open much wider and bet much smaller to steal pots. But you still shouldn't be opening 72o which is way outside these guided ranges. Overall I think they are a very good starting point.

I'm guessing these ranges are so broadway heavy and light on the implied odds hands like 22-55 and 65S is due to A the 100BB assumed stack and B, the 4X open. Most on line 100BB games are using a 2.5 open raise and in live games, 4X is the standard small open size, meaning really, we're playing more like we have shorter stacks post flop when you consider SPR. Low SPR, the more you value broadways and the less you value small pairs and suited connectors.

Why can’t we at least have some kind of a +ev open raising range guide for the big blind when other positions have limped in (considering it will be out of position post flop) vs being in position when the small blind has limped? Sure, the top of range hands are no brainer’s, but for the less intuitive combos)? ie: “All combos check their option, but these combos will show a profit over the long run when raised from the big blind)” type thing. Also, I’ve noticed a lot of high stakes players having discussions recently about having a limping strategy that has +ev connotations (mostly in tournaments) so my question is this… For all hands outside of the bottom distribution of the RFI opening ranges for each position, can any of them be put into a limping range (either behind 2 or more limpers, or button vs blinds seeing they will have a positional advantage post flop and a pocket pair like 5’s should be ahead of a random distribution in the blinds) and is there any merit to an open limping strategy (designed to limp/call) vs earlier positions such as the blinds? Like in situations such as set mining with direct or even implied odds vs opens on the small side when calling closes the action, etc? Are these ideas too unconventional to explore, or should I just robotically do what I’m told and let others do the experimenting trailblazing of new concepts on poker theory for me? (Sounds sarcastic but I’m being serious)
@ThePokerBank Жыл бұрын
The gametree gets much simpler when there is no open-limping allowed (or maybe just allow open-limping from the SB if it folds around). Allowing for open-limping is a worthwhile exploration (and something that's on our exploration roadmap), but it explodes the gametree and will take a VERY long time (and more powerful server) to compute. Of course, the exploration would then give isolation ranges, but that's assuming the solver makes much use of open-limping (and limping-behind) in the first place =)

The ranges in late position are really surprising and counterintuitive - I know I for sure would be playing most suited connectors from the button and all pocket pairs, or at least prioritize them over hands like K8o or T7s. Is the reasoning behind the solver's range that (given perfect play) suited connectors aren't as profitable? In more practical terms, as players get better (playing more optimally), suited connectors become less profitable on average? Does it have to do with implied odds being lower against better players post-flop, hence why K8o might play better than 65s? Or is the solver basing its decision primarily around defending against the pre-flop 3-bet/4-bet with a sufficiently strong and balanced range?

Why would anyone use this when gtowizard already exists with more accurate preflop solutions that are completely free (not just rfi) where postflop is less simplified and an arbitrary amount of callers is allowed. Only plus for your app is that it solves for 4 BB which isn't something you want to do anyway. Let your table open to 4BB all they want but open to 2-3 yourself
@ThePokerBank2 жыл бұрын
How can their preflop solution be 'more accurate' when an UTG can only be called by the BTN/SB/BB, and no other position? That alone tells you they are making massive preflop simplifications, which is understandable, but by no means makes their solve better. And totally fair re: 4BB. The upside of that inclusion is that it gives you even better call vs. RFI and 3bet ranges.
@fenikstechnologies1173 Жыл бұрын
You definitely don’t want to limit your RFI to 2-3bb when the rest of the table is up to 15bb. The table will essentially treat your 3bb as a limp. They will take zero notice of you being the preflop raiser and no notice of position. Which means you’d be better off limping into pots. For example, a 1/2 game with a $6 RFI would have most of the table call and then play almost identical to a $2/5 game with a limped pot. You’ll want to find a raise size for the situation that cuts the field down to ~3-4 or less players seeing the flop. Or when the entire table sees the flop for $25, you win a pot big enough to make up and then some for the times you raise $25 pre and then check/fold the flop. RFI for 3x BB in a 1/2 and at some 2/5 games is virtually lighting money on fire. If you were able to tell a solver that in a certain scenario such as a loose passive table, a 3-4bb RFI resulted in 5+ players seeing the flop, it wouldn’t keep telling you to RFI for 3bb. It would treat your 100bb as a short stack in which you’d be very tight preflop, create a ~1-2 SPR, and be shoving most benign flops. Once you’ve done that a few times and now 3-500bb deep, then you play a normal strategy but still RFI in the 10-30bb area. 1/2 and 2/5 loose passive tables are essentially short stack 5/10 tables. And you’ll need to play that way until the table is deeper (in capped games. None capped, same RFI bb size, but wider range and different post flop play).

I think these ranges are incredible for questioning your own play... you don't play as wide or as loose as this suggests? WHY? What could that mean in terms of a deficit in your play? How could you improve you play which would allow you to include, or exclude certain hands from your range? We all don't play these perfect ranges BECAUSE we either gamble too much or lack the ability to fold or any reason that 100% means we have a fault in our play. Find that reason and we'll improve

These are online ranges 😂 unless you’re playing 10-20+… But your demographic of viewers are not playing higher than 2/5… Understanding the heuristics behind why the solver provides said output is 1000x more valuable than trying to memorize ranges, especially ones that are too tight… what you claim as an opening range for live poker are actually iso ranges given the frequency and ranges played by limpers.

Sorry to put a wet blanket on your concept, but you poker nerds really do a poor job of bringing the rest of your audience along. OK. You created a neat pocket tool for folks. If I am correct, I think you are assuming that they do not know how to play poker or can't memorize the right hand to open pre-flop. OK, so if we use that logic, then why all the acronyms in the app? Why use lango that new or learning people may not be familiar with everywhere in the app like cryptic slang terms and navigation titles? Also, why assume in your GTO section that all will fold to the opening bet. Call me crazy, but I almost never see that at cash games. Bare minimum, most EVERYONE at a table limps in no matter how loudly the pros shout that they shouldn't. Unless I open at 20 or 30 times the BB, those same limpers magically turn into determined hard core sheriff level calling stations who wont fold anything even with all in 4 bets. So with that, does the math or GTO calcs change that drastically if you have an 8 person table full of really fishy fish like 4 calling stations or limpers, 1 maniac or whale and 3 woefully inexperienced LAGs who would not even fold their laundry if their life depended on it? All of which, work together to blindly initially limp in with any two cards only to have the maniac all in every other odd hand and the LAGs filling in every other even hand with over betting. You did admit that your tool assumes perfect play. I think that makes it imperfect if you have not accounted for the very type of players most of the pro's tell us we would look for in an ideal game. (A table fully of really fishy limpers, maniacs, inexperienced LAGs and calling stations with a seemingly endless bankroll they use to continuously fund their ALL IN short stack play)

The conception behind these sims is massively flawed. You should never pick an open raise size for a solver but rather allow it to choose among several. Further, you could node lock for typical game conditions and get exploit open ranges. Opening 4x is a massive mistake almost always. When calling ranges are inelastic and rake is high you want to open smaller not larger. Like most products currently on the market, these are totally worthless.
@ThePokerBank2 жыл бұрын
All preflop solves are abstractions given the required constraints. Yes, in an ideal world we would give the solver room to solve across all possible raise sizes vs all possible re-raise sizes at all possible stack depth configurations - but that's not possible at the moment. As for 4x, while it's less ideal as an RFI size to actually use, it's a size used by a large swath of the live player pool and as such gives you excellent value when exploring the call vs. RFI, 3-bet, and squeeze ranges.
@gregcoe41752 жыл бұрын
@@ThePokerBank "In an ideal world" ...No. In the actual world, such sims have already been completed for both preflop and postflop. At equilibrium, the rfi range is split between 3 different sizes at various frequencies. All your simplifications introduce systematic error into the process and thus the outputs can not be trusted with any level of certainty.

@@ThePokerBank This is disingenuous at best. I've purposefully not mentioned where the sims I'm discussing can be purchased and/or freely accessed out of respect and a hatred for shilling. All sims are by definition abstractions but the extent to which we can fly close to the sun occurs only when offering multiple sizes. At which point the range is split according to the highest EV lines with a small % remaining indifferent (but this is in all likelihood a synonym for errors caused by technical deficiencies which haven't been fully integrated). To choose to simplify when you could just as easily choose not too only happens because of laziness, cheapness, indifference, or ignorance. Christ, your sim uses a 4x open as its default...its difficult to imagine a worse disaster. Artificially inflating the pot often OOP, often MW, in a 10%ish rake environment which is sometimes uncapped, in a pool with an inelastic flatting range; 2x or open limping is massively higher EV in such scenarios. Opening only has value to the extent you can take initiative, thin the field, and gain information. None of these goals can be accomplished 9/10 by opening 4x in a live game. All this is easy to continue but there's enough evidence here already to indicate that you have long since bypassed the sun for the dark side of the moon. Protip: if your sim suggests you fold pocket nines UTG you've massively screwed it up lol...it's incomprehensible that this even needs to be said.
