I have to thank you, Phil, for just *giving away* content that causes me to think this deeply about the game. I may have to watch this two or three times to milk it for all the nuances.

Can you talk about how you build reads on opponents? I'd love to hear how you go about it. Like, when an opponent shows down a head, how are you processing that information?

Great content. A good follow up piece could perhaps be how to identify such players. How many showdowns and what type of showdowns allowed you to spot that someone was underbluffing river.

@jacemandt Жыл бұрын

Yeah, good point. It seems easy enough to notice if someone is drastically underbluffing, but I'm not sure how I could possibly detect if they were like 20% underbluffing.

I'm from the old school of poker the early mid 2000's and internet hay day, OMGclayaiken days. I still can't believe poker players are on youtube spilling the secrets, but thank you. You have validated things I have used for over two decades and also made me question some of my pre flop play as well as not value betting enough when super deep.

Nothing better than getting that river check raise bluff threw

@bardakchaya Ай бұрын

usefull recomendations, but I guess if we are talking about mdf to check raise river we should not count folds with bluffs as a part of mdf. I mean if our opp has 2/3 value and 1/3 bluff and his mdf 50% he must fold half of his value range that means that at mdf 50% his fold freq at gto will be 66%. other words bluffing range do not interested in defence because it do not have showdown value. we can see it in solver scenarious. thx for your videos ❤

when in position, would you size up your value raises, assuming that opponent will have a stronger than average range now that he's bet? or would you keep consistent and raise based on pot size, bet size, stack size, etc.?

@demianenkopoker Жыл бұрын

@Adam27X Жыл бұрын

What's an example hand from villain that would give us a read that allows us to make these adjustments? It's not hard to think of some but I think some examples that are "bona fide" reads would be a great addition to this video.

@susymay7831 Жыл бұрын

Sometimes a river bet should be raised with a profitable bluff catcher, or even an unprofitable one, if your opponent likes to fold too many value hands. Snapping off some bluffs as well as folding out some better hands makes a nice combo play

@davidm9323 Жыл бұрын

I feel like preflop adjustments are getting short shrift in these! If someone plays pretty good preflop and makes big errors on later streets, preflop adjustments can be valuable as well. For example, if someone bets every flop and turn in position, I would never 3bet preflop.

@timb4248 Жыл бұрын

Why? Just 3 bet with good hands, and check your overpairs and strong hands to him.

@oskarsund4703 Жыл бұрын

Next topic Phil! How to adjust if someone isn't valuebetting enough! edit: I feel like I should explain this more since it might not be obvious what I'm refering to. There's a lot of spots where people aren't willing to bet thin enough for value. I play lowstakes PLO and esp deep when draws hit there's a very clear mentality of only betting nutflushes and going for ch/c with everything else (even though they are happy betting the hand when it was a decent/strong draw etc on previous street/s). Obviously this is for the most part very unsimilar to how solvers approach these spots so studying their suggested valuebets/bluffs gets really iffy in these instances as well, which are fairly common. Just an idea for a video!

@timb4248 Жыл бұрын

Lol I know the feeling at low stakes PLO. My favorite is players who call 3 bets or 4 bets preflop with 8663 or some trash. But are scared to death to get all the money in on KJ6 for fear of being up against KK or JJ. Like what were you hoping for, to flop quads?

How many bluffs on a river in percentage should a player have if he uses sizing different from pot-bet? for example, if 30% or 75%?

thx for the video phill and with the care of quality. You can talk 1 hour without autofocus, doenst matter, cuz what are you saying is so clear ahhahaha!

@AtomicAndi Жыл бұрын

Here’s my take: These adjustments seem to re-enforce the ultra-passive games you see at low stakes live. Under-bluffing is contagious as you made clear in the last part. In multiway pots the effect is even more pronounced I would guess. How can you break out of this? It can’t be optimal after all. At which points do you exploit the underbluffer by aggression - or is that futile?

@Phobzi Жыл бұрын

People under bluff but that doesn't mean they under call. If they over call your bluffs but under bluff themselves you want to call wider but bluff less. I think that often times people will undercall or overcall bluffs and then that will even vary from street to street with each player. I find that lowstakes players will undercall flop but overcall turn and river, but that's just my generalization. I think when choosing how often to bluff you need to be very aware of which player you are bluffing and what you think they are likely to do.

@AtomicAndi Жыл бұрын

In a nutshell the adjustment is to value bet more. But what if their ranges are tighter than usual and/or they trap quite a lot.

@t00mgoos Жыл бұрын

fwiw pretty much all spots in poker are underbluffed nodes from running population tendency sims, so phil's exploit should essentially be used pure lol

@AtomicAndi Жыл бұрын

That’s what I do (low stakes live) - but there is always this nagging feeling that you have to punish them more. If the only answer to passive players is to be passive then we are doomed
