EPIC. On other poker training sites you have to pay some money for that review. Thanks a lot once again Coach!

This is what I was always missing, I just never had players to sit and talk "deep" into poker hands. Thanks to both of you for putting these amazing discussions on YT for free

In depth free content from 2 beasts - how does it get better than this? Its amazing how many population reads go into the decision making process, even at these stakes.

Great job guys, enjoy every content with “European”, insane amount of value and mindset tips. Looking forward in the future! 🙏

Thank you soo much Ben

Such awesome analyzes. Thank you very much for the content provided time and time again :) Proud to be a RYE member!

These videos are some of the most helpful videos on youtube for improving at poker. Hope there's a round 2 with Sam.

clicked refresh on yt for days and days. Finally its here, lets see what I can learn

awesome video thank you guys for giving out this free content! awesome!

Thanks Ben. Its always a great joy to hear intelligent people discuss poker. Especially monsters like you guys

19:48 I also feel like a good player has you polarized to kings and is turning pairs 8-q into bluff as well too. That being said I still think it's a good fold

Actually had K82FD BTN vs BB 20BB eff. saved lol. I'm gonna say you're both right. Leading about 30% of the time on turn 2 and 60% of the time on turn 8 (slightly less on 8c when flush completes).

That was nice Ben, so j9 works well, most of the times is good to raise from SB preflop like you said in some of the videos.

Truly amazing that you give this away for free!! I love plo so much but honestly soon im prolly better at Texas... Do you also have plo Tour coaching? Much love and keep showing up !

Great video Ben! Thanks for your free MTT course. You are my inspiration! Good luck and lets crushhhh

Thank you very much Ben and Sam! GL

K82, turn 2x is slightly better than 8x for OOP equity, but 8x is better for OOP EV according to pio without node locking ;) Thanks for this awesome review

really nice! lots of interesting spots! love it. Lets say we take sam's approach and we lead turn 100% ( first hand) and river is blank, what size do we pick on the river? and which hands are we bluffing? feel free guys :)

Cheked it in PIO with Q8o asthe lowest calling hand + with 1,4 BB flop bet. The 2 on the turn is worse for BU then the 8. 61% EQ (2) compared to 58% EQ (8) for BB. The ev difference is even greater since BB can push more EQ on turn with a greater leading range.

Goldmine! Thanks a lot Ben!

Juice. This is a juice and im joy to drink it with 2 persons amazingly skilled about it. gg guys. awesome well done and helpful work.

Great video and analysis. Watching whilst grinding 😎 keep it up Ben

great video! what is good bluff hand for villain on last hand? Your think j9s is good bluff?

Thank you for the great content!

Hi Ben, great video as always! Though one question: you said AJo is a pretty standard defend vs a 3bet HJvsCO. I’m a cash game player and the pre flop solver studies I’ve done (mid stakes rake, 100bb deep assuming a 2.5x open and a 3x 3bet) have shown that AJo is a 100% fold. Even AQo is only called like 10% of the time and the other times it’s a 4bet. According to PIO Call seems to be by far the worst thing to do there OOP. Now I understand that this is a tourney, it’s only 70bb deep and there’s an ante but does it really change the dynamic by that much? I’d assume our calling frequency goes up by a little but going from 100% fold to AJo being a standard call seems a little much. Thoughts?

more more more!!BENCB indifferent analyzing with coaches!

good content, thanks again.

Lead on k82 2 from bb for 1/3 mainly? Great vid Ben!

On the J9o on the QTTT board 30:00 onwards, how come you didnt discuss the suits on the turn, aren't those relevant? Like K9cc and J9cc for example should be the best suits to bluff on the turn, since they block KTs and T9s. Or is blocking just a couple combos of quads quite irrelevant compared to the other combos?

Great great video! Thanks for sharing

For the first hand, if villain could float hands like QJ or QT, couldn't they also float hands like T7 and 97? In other words, I think our A7s can block some bluffs, too. Also, with a 1/3 pot sized bet, I think villain could go for thin value on the river with Tx hands he floated flop with. Sure it loses to hero's JJ and QQ, but it beats hero's 99, 8x, and 77-33.

Good video once again. But is it possible to make stacksizes bigger?

Awesoome!

this is GOLD

Can u do more mid stakes hand reviews please Ben

At time 04:25 you and Samuel talked about people don’t have enough c/r value hands in exact spot (K5, K4), this was in the BTN vs BB situation. At time 20:24, where you had K9 in BB vs a much wider SB- range, c/r wasn’t even mentioned. Is this because a combination of stack depth, blockers, keeping bluffs in etc?

I like how Ben mentions that sometimes you have to not play GTO against beginners who clearly don't know it. He also mentions how the hardcore poker theorists don't like this, but it is the truth nonetheless.

Hey Ben, what will be you decision on the river if you have Tx and ch/raise OTF, ch/call OTT?

Highly interesting hand in the 29:00 ! Sooo what is the bottom of our calling range at the River? AK and often KQs 3bet preflop... So bottom is the KJo/KQo or something? Thank you Coach!! :D

So would you fold that AJo pre in low stakes? If villain 3bets mostly TT+, AQ+.

The dude’s English is perfect

ty

This video has made me lose a lot of confidence in my game because I never study as much as these guys lol. Thanks for letting me know how much there is to learn

great video!

i just find a gold mine :)

Yeah, I think at 1:20:30 calling with KQ is worse, because if villain bets this line with AA, AQ+ while you having KQ, villains potential combos are 21. If you hold AQ like you do, villain has only 15 of these AA, AQ+. I mean, either way you lose anyways. Or was your argument that when he has 21 combos (and you hold KQ) that he is also "allowed" to have more bluffs in his range and therefore your KQ becomes a more valuable bluff catcher? Because you were talking about (positive) blocking effects with KQ (for his value range) - but KQ should be more like positive for "unblocking bluffs" (widening his bluffing range), shouldn it?

Would be funny to watch you play some micros

It's so interesting listening to the difference in arrogance between Ben and Sam. Ben is so comfortable with his level of poker knowledge he doesn't have to show that he knows everything. Sam, on the other hand, show his insecurities by always having to know everything . I find his obsequiousness tiring. On the other hand, I could listen to Bencb humbleness all day. Bencb will never feel the need to show that he is the smatest in the room. Cool confidence and assuredness over an over inflated arrogance. My man Bencb, where do I sign up?

Algum BR legenda plss

bencb want the guy to fold a Q they dont fold even 22 :P

@50:30 I do think that our range wants to check a lot ( like 90%+) river, am I wrong ?

50:07 whats the difference in bluffcatching with Qx to Ax on the river in villain's' shoes? bencb is not valueshoving anything worse than quads on the river anyway.

the first 20 mins feel like two micro stakes players discussing BTN vs BB play. "Big Blind has some A2o" lol wut. No.A2o-A4o are a pure 3b pre. Flop bet is fine. BTN and BB have range parity so ya gotta be careful. Yea, small sizing makes sense so you can continue turn aggression but the 1st hand's review is so botched. For OOP, K5o has a much lower EV w/ a xR than 43o, 43s, 54s, JTo, QTo. On turn, OOP is mixing checking and betting - not betting 75% of his range lol. He is supposed to bet small with all combos J9o AND not that many Kx unless it is K8o+. The villain played miles better than bencb who totally botched the river. A7s is one of the worst suited Ax bluff catchers. When calling down you want to block combos the villain draws bluffs from and 7d is a horrible card to have - villain can draw his bluffs with a lot of 7x. Bencb seems too concerned with the opponent's range when NL players first need to understand their range, then evaluate how their combo stacks up within their own hand distribution & board texture. **This is free because it's pretty poor.** 2nd Hand - we do not play GTO - We use GTO to figure out where we might be losing money, where we can improve/make adjustments. Without Game-theoretic knowledge, you cannot exploit. We let the deck constraint our strategy and use GTO as a baseline because those ranges do reasonably well. Max exploit players are poor at figuring out tendencies of villains and sh*t at adjustments since they are reading into opponents essentially at the whim of trial and error. In the first hand you have so many Kx, better blockers, I have no idea why you'd bluff catch with that combo. "95% of the population do this..." just throwing out arbitrary numbers and justifying 'bencb this bencb that'. Calling every player he is up against 'the best' is actually just stroking his own ego. Pretty poor, mediocre small-midstakes analysis.

first?
