This video is a game changer for me. I've always struggle with finding the right spots to bluff and the methodology you gave step by step to bluff with the correct combos is just what I needed. Thanks a lot
Again, really nice video, as I get tired of saying "thanks" I joined your channel to show my real appreciation for your amazing videos! :D I will have to see this one about 3 times to internalize it. :P
At ~7 minutes where you're discussing turn bets: does the solver balance the checking range with anything other than middle strength hands? Specifically stronger hands? I'm assuming the lower end is balanced by the checking of your non-bluff air?
Great video. I'd be interested to know the impact of picking a 'bad' bluff candidate vs picking a 'GTO approved' one (assuming we still bluff the correct number of combos in a given spot). For example if on the river we ignore the card removal heuristic (or we try to allow for it but don't get it right) but we still get the value / bluff combo ratio correct, is the EV loss significant? Can this be investigated using this software?
Yes for each action there is a value when you hover over a hand. That value is the average number of chips you are expected to win by taking such action against a perfect opponent. Against a real life opponent, the EV may be higher or lower. For example, if your opponent only calls bets with top pair + and nut flush draws, bluffing with a busted nut flush draw would be a huge mistake because you would be removing essentially Villain's entire folding range.
Do we consider villain’s tendencies and skill level? Like asking ourselves, “Is he more likely to fold top pair if I bluff shove?” All the theory goes out the window if you’re bluffing into a calling station.
The bucket analogy was helpful. Also, how do you think about these 2 factors -- unblocking folds vs blocking value? Is one factor better than the other in some cases? Or does it just come down to how many combos you block/unblock?
Hi there. GTO noob here. I don't really understand the bucket analogy. What factors determine the size of the bucket i.e how often I bluff? What I usually do is think of the size I would use with my value hands in certain scenario. For example I would bet pot on the river with my nutted hands which gives V 2:1 odds so you I try to match the same odds in my range making 2:1 nut to air ratio by doing a quick combo count. Are there any other factors I'm missing??
jnandez has pretty easy to understand heuristics if youre willing to search, screenshot, and pay a tiny fee lmao. unless you want all things to be free

The organization of your content and bringing the concepts full circle without going down rabbit holes is amazing. Keep it up man

I thought this was going to be less complex than it turned out to be. I was ready for a giga troll.

player tendency is always a factor. but assuming you have no reliable information you should probably stick to your base gto strategy
Nope. Best villain can do is break even regardless of his strategy.
@@On3Thought but it is not the optimal strategy against them

How is this free.. keep it coming .
Do you have or can you make a video on how to simplify preflop GTO and bet sizing ( and also include a segment about strategies against limpers)?
That was great!
Fantastic video!
incremental equity means equity realization ?
It is going to be the most wattched video soon, Mark my word
doubtful, hand reviews of famous people get more views which is why GAMES ARE STILL SO GOOD
It’s hard to compete with videos of squirrels doing dumb sh*
Wish you could do a video on PLO

You just HAD to use J4 as an example, huh? Lol
