Once more, pure gold from one of the best hidden gems out there! Aaaand for one more time great intro, and close with a great song and video editing xD
question: if you're raising with intention with a particular hands, like for example k9dd targeting kjo, kqo, and middling pp, how are you supposed to balance that with the rest of your range, which might have different intentions? Let's say you are raising for value with Tx there, but now are targeting a calling range of diamonds, also pp, overpairs, and so on. How can you be sure to pick a right sizing for both these targets? the tl;dr is how do you balance this strategy with your whole range when your specific two cards seems to matter a lot - do you have to split sizings, which seems unintuititve?
What I personally do is a two step process - first I set my bet ceiling based on whether I have a nut advantage. Then, I choose the actual size up to that ceiling based on what I think my bluffs want to do. So I bet just enough to cause a significant portion of my opponent's range to fold. If I think he has a lot of trash that will fold, I bet small. If I think he doesn't have much trash, I bet larger (up to the ceiling). If I think villain has both a bunch of trash and middling hands, I may split, but personally I usually just choose one size. The reason I focus on bluffs is because in the moment, it can be hard to think of both value/protection and bluffs, and between the two, you know that no matter what, your bluffs must use an appropriate size to cause folds. Value bets generate EV no matter what - so even nutted hands will often bet small.
Is Stefan really doing that chk raise line without diamonds, or with k hi? How is he constructing his barrel? Is paired board texture the main factor or was the Diamond draw with no showdown?
Disconnected paired boards have very high check-raise frequencies, so yes he would be check-raising without diamonds often. Basically any pair can check-raise that board for thin value and equity denial from overcards. This means that he’ll have a ton of pairs that want to continue betting on the turn but have to bet small. Steffen mentions this in the clip.
This channel is definitely +EV
Hope he reviews your hands in a video
How do you remember all of that while you playing.
I mean the solver actions 🥲?

Great video. Great analysis, examples and explanation
Breaking down concepts like this is incredibly helpful. Thank you!
One of the best poker videos, honestly
@Finding Equilibrium It´s Steffen not Stefan ;)
Great stuff! Keep it on 💪🙌
those kind of content deserve to be selling as a masterclass for xk$ but thx god it's free, thx
You make great content, and this one might be your best video!
Wow, this channel +EV😍
Villains folds do impact the EV of value betting though because changing their folding range effects the probability of villain calling
when youre value betting you isually dont care if they call of fold
@@OGRE_HATES_NERDS This statement was a bit of an eye opener for me, thanks.
@@hunterbursey im no expert, just my two cents
in the spot JTs, it looks so hard to find more than 50% equity vs calling range (without being RO honestly ) :/ so thin ...
You are not far from Steffen level of genius
Can't believe this is free content
Bro, can you make a video about the variance? To better understand it and deal with it better psychologically
@14:44 is that recreational player called Charlie Carrol ?
When are you going to start your Vlogs again? I would love to see more live session and your thought process
You’re the best man thank you
Analysis 🐐
Every time you drop a video my pool is supposed to get tougher but it doesn't haha.
Video text is more fuzzy than normal, for me....the steffan parts are clear, the GTOx aren't

4:23, why does pf aggressor range have no top of range?
he filtered the no made hand range, so top of the range doesn't show.
22:46 stay balanced.
What happened to Steffan he disappeared
Do NOT overwrite the original ENNIO MORRICONE music on that classic scene from the GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY!!!
You should review @yolancohenpoker channel hands, one of the best players ive seen ever
