      A video about exploiting soft player pools would be great. Your videos are awesome I like them all, especially that pot geometry video. But sometimes I struggle to apply the concepts cause I don't know how applicable probe 250% pot turn 250% pot shove river would be to the soft pools I play in.

    • @louischampion1632
      @louischampion1632 4 месяца назад

      You are betting into a pot of 8.5 so the total pot size would be 11.5 after your bet is placed. So it would be 3/11.5 = 0.26

    Hello.
    At 3:02 the table says that for a bet size of 150%, we need at least 37.5% of equity. But at 7:36 the BTN opens for 2.5bbs in a starting pot of 1.5bbs. Doesn't that mean he's raising 166% of the pot? And we have to call something between 37.5% and 40%. This table only works posflop?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  5 месяцев назад +1

      In an unopened pot you can think of the BB as the previous raiser. After BTN opens 2.5x, the BB's pot odds are 1.5/5.5 = 27.3%, which corresponds to a BTN raise size of 60% pot.

    amazing content as usual. Thank you very much. May i ask what the 2-4 rule is?

    • @personalpokertrainer
      @personalpokertrainer 2 года назад +1

      The rule means that we count our outs and multiply X4 on the flop and X2 on the turn to know more or less how likely it is to hit at least one of our outs by the river.
      In this case we have 9 outs on the flop to make a flush. 9 X 4 =36. You will make a flush roughly 36% of the time.
      On the turn you count your outs and multiple by 2. So you will make a flush 9X2= 18% of the time (roughly).

      Thank you for you input.
      I m still missing smthg though.
      Each out counting for approx. 2.25%, if we have 9 outs twice => 2.25% x 9 x 2 = 40.5% which is far from 36% hence my interrogation

      @@leclubber how’d you get that each out counts ~2.25%?

    • @Schindlabua
      @Schindlabua Год назад

      You have 2 cards in hand, and 3 are the flop. Meaning there are 47 cards left in the deck and drawing any particular card on the turn is 1/47 ≈ 2.127%. If you don't hit it, no problem, you still have 1/46 ≈ 2.174% of drawing it on the river.
      If we simplify both percentages to 2% that's where you get the 2-4 rule from. But we can maths it out "properly".
      You hit your out on the turn? Nice! There was a 1/47 chance of that happening. Whichever card comes next, it will make you happy, so that's a 1/1 ≈ 100% chance of being satisfied with the river.
      You didn't hit your out on the turn? There was a 46/47 chance of that happening, but you still have a 1/46 of drawing your out on the river.
      Your expected out hitting percentage is therefor given as
      1/47 * 1/1 + 46/47 * 1/46 ≈ 4.255%.
      (If you have many outs your chances increase accordingly. With four outs, your 1/47 becomes 4/47 etc. Also notice how the 46es cancel out in the second term :)

    I have a question for you personally. How frequently do you mix checks on the flop to balance your checking range?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  2 года назад +1

      That depends on the flop! You can watch this video to learn how to build flop heuristics ruclips.net/video/MbUGqC9wfGs/видео.html. Also I recommend watching the Mechanics of Cbetting video to learn some of the underlying principles that guide flop cbet sizing and frequency.

    If someone is miscalculating their required EV by not taking into account the pot + the call (like the 25% vs 33% example), this would mean they're going to always be playing too tight, right? How would you adjust your bet sizes to exploit this?
    Obviously, I don't think anyone who would make that mistake is consistently calculating their required EV anyway, so there are probably plenty of other spots.
    I don't actually play poker, but it's interesting.

    when we under-realize equity with a hands by calling turn for example, it comes from the fact that vilain can bluff us next street and down our equity with his bottom range ?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  Год назад +1

      That is one reason! Many factors impact how well a hand realizes equity. Mainly - how well can the hand improve into one that can extract a lot of value?

    • @GTOWizard
      @GTOWizard  Год назад +1

      The formulas are detailed in the first 4 minutes of the video.
      To caluclate as a percent use (amount to call)/(pot after you call), = 3/(3+3+5.5) = 26%.
      To calculate as odds use (reward:risk) or 8.5 : 3
      To convert odds to percent, x : y => y / (x+y) = 3 / (8.5 + 3) = 26%
