Hey TPE,

I’ve got an idea for a video series. I think it would be great to have a series on “Exploitative Folding”. There are lots of spots both preflop and postflop where we can exploit our opponent’s ranges and frequencies by folding more often than we normally would. Some obvious spots I can think of are preflop folding to 3bets or UTG opens from someone very nitty where we would be calling or raising vs. the population. I’m sure there are also many other spots which could be considered.

WUG Thoughts?

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it works too well as a video series. You can't really study folding without also studying raising and calling. Exploitative play as a whole is a great subject to look at – my next series, coming up on the schedule later this month, uses a lot of HoldemResources Calculator analysis for this purpose.

However, I think since folding ranges are so closely linked to calling and raising ranges, it would just end up being a series that wasn't really about folding so much as it was a series of hands where the hero ended up folding. I also feel like everyone would play like huge nits for a month after it came out…on second thoughts, maybe I should make it! 😛
