    A4s hand at the end of the video.

    My mind = Blown. gg brain.

    I’ll probably be digesting this for the next 2 weeks. Not giving up, but I’m just not there yet.

    I took a ton of notes and learned a lot so far. If you guys are not taking advantage of this series you are really missing out.

    Please look back at these videos early next week Daryl, I will be posting answers, ideas and questions early next week. I’ve been really busy but would love to get the chance to pick your brain a little. This series is so insightful, as all of yours have been. You are most definitely one of the main reasons I’ve become a better player. You are very well spoken this time around and much more confident IMO. Though that never really took away from your other videos for me, it was always the content. Looking forward to the last part!

    N.B. Claydoh @ 10:40 has 3bet jammed a 15-22bb stack a couple of times already but now with 19bb in the HJ instead 2x’s his KK. In the future we can pretty confidently take the top off his range when he 3b jams this stack size.

  4. Jon_Allan

    27:25 KTo…
    I guess you are opening something like 55+,A2s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,A7o+,A5o-A2o,KJo+,QJo
    maybe a little tighter.
    You say you 4b to get it in with about 5%, something like 99+,AQs+,AQo+
    and bluff with about 4%, maybe A5o-A2o,KTo
    And go on to say the low suited aces are too good to use for bluffing. However if you decide you are 4b to fold (i.e. bluffing) and there is some chance (albeit very small) he flats wouldn’t it make more sense to bluff with the next best 4% rather than the worst 4% of your range? So something like 88-66,AQs-A8s,KQs,AQo (the key, of course, being that you have decided to fold to a 5b)

  5. Jon_Allan

    Oh and for the above question we need to ignore the fact that the effective stack was too shallow to be 4b to start with (at 25bb) – make it 40 or whatever.

  6. aaaaaaaaa

    Question still stands for the top of that range. I like the bottom end of the hands u suggested a lot better ( as 4bets) now tho and prob would 4b them sometimes.

  7. Jon_Allan

    Edit: AQs should not have been in the range I gave in the above post.

    If his 5 bet range is basically the nuts – something like the top 3.5%
    say 50% of TT, JJ+, AQs+, AKo
    then we do not have the required 31.57% with any of the non-pairs in the range.

    So maybe remove the pairs and replace them (very nearly, combinatorially) with A7s and AJo which also do not have enough equity to call vs the nutted range.

    From what you said you feel his 3 bet is pretty nutted, so would you say this translates to him not 5 bet bluffing here ever?
    …In which case we can definately use this new range – AJs-A7s,KQs,AJo+ to bluff with.

    If, however, we think that villain throws in 33% bluffs (which is 12 combos)
    …then we do have the required equity to call a 5 bet jam with all the hands discussed (the pairs and the entire new range), even if he merges his bluffs by 5 bet bluffing with AQo, ATs, AJs, KQs which is the worst case scenario for all the hands discussed so far, except for the KTo that started the debate which can /conceivably/ be in worse shape (for example when his 12 bluffs are KQo and KJo). A9s is the worst performer of the rest against the merged range and is very close to b.e. at 31.597% but I have not come up with a range with 33% bluffs ontop of the aforementioned nutted range that is not one we should be calling with any of the hands I have given, in the scenario played (effective stack of 24.8bb).
    …Hence we should not use any of these hands to bluff with in the scenario from the video.

    Now, if it were a more standard spot where the effective stack is 29-40bb…
    …vs. the nutted range we certainly would not be getting the required price with any of the hands (at best we are offered 34.16% at 29bb) [although the pairs are all within 0.2% of this minimum requirement] and can therefore use all of the new range, AJs-A7s,KQs,AJo+, as our 4 bet bluffs, giving ourselves a better hand if we happen to get flatted.
    …vs. 33% bluffs
    – hands that have good enough equity to call up to 40bb eff given the merged bluff range are the pairs and AQo
    – hands that have good enough equity to call up to 40bb eff given a non-merged bluff range are AJs, ATs, KQs, and AJo
    – the rest (A9s-A7s) are not good enough to call unless the vilain uses a non-A heavy bluffing range, like nutted range + polarised semi-bluffs, e.g. bluffing with 87s, 76s, 65s, 87o.

    This all really goes to show how having some tendencies from history can help construct one’s range.

    Appendix:

    Villain’s ranges:
    v = TcTd, TdTh, ThTs, JJ+, AQs+, AKo (i.e. value)
    m = v + AQo, ATs, AJs, KQs (i.e. merged)
    s = v + A9o, A8s, JTs, QJs (i.e. semi-bluffs)
    p = v + KQo, KJo (i.e. polarised)
    c = v + 87o, 87s, 76s, 65s (i.e. polarised semi-bluffs)

    arrrg, then I copy the wrong key! Should be:

    Villain’s ranges:
    v = TcTd, TdTh, ThTs, JJ+, AQs+, AKo (i.e. value)
    m = v + AQo, ATs, AJs, KQs (i.e. merged)
    s = v + A9o, A8s, JTs, QJs (i.e. semi-bluffs)
    d = v + KQo, KJo (i.e. polarised)
    p = v + 87o, 87s, 76s, 65s (i.e. polarised semi-bluffs)

  10. aaaaaaaaa

    I’m not sure what to exactly comment on. I think its v good to work on fundamentals like this and im pretty impressed with the amount of work u put into this.

  11. Jon_Allan

    So:
    1. Do you think villain should ever 5 bet bluff in the scenario in the video (24.8bb);
    2. Do you think villain is ever 5 bet bluffing in the scenario in the video (24.8bb);
    3. At what effective starting stack do you think villain should be thinking about their 5 bet bluffing range?
