Woaw very impressive, the quality of this content!🤩 what’s your price for caching? What’s the limits do you play usually? Ty 😊

Just curious about the T8s hand at 26:49. There used to be a theory called "Zeebo theorem" which essentially states that most opponents in low stakes cash games are incapable of folding full houses to bets of any size. You elect to x/r and take it down. I would think that if we get called, then we are usually drawing to a T or 8. Hitting a straight draw or FD doesn't seem great when his bet/call range is very pocket pair-heavy. Any thoughts on that?

As a general rule, trying to get people to fold full houses is a terrible idea. On a trips board like JJJ a thinking player understands he has tons of fullhouse and cannot just call down with all of them. Also this raise targets his not full house range- he has plenty of hands like k5clubs a4spades 109 etc so this bet puts more pressure on those type holdings.

Nice video, very informative. Just want to suggest for you sitting out from the tables when you are explaning a huge hand or concept. Eg at 29:05 when you open replay. It will help us understand by focusing only on the explanation. Thanks for the content, cheers from Brasil 👊🏻

I'm glad you enjoyed it, many of these players watch my videos. I'm already at a large disadvantage from having many of the regs in these pools seeing my open thoughts about how I view poker for many hours on youtube. I dont want to also tell them how I perceive each one of them individually. So its a secret 🙂

Would love to see the non showdown line in your overall graph

I posted several in my 100k challenge videos

5:40 (4bet pot with A7s): Can you explain why in your opinion players have a hard time responding to the 10% donk on 456? I think most players are continuing their entire range against this size either as a raise or as a call. If IP raises he would have likely bet the flop himself and if he calls he would have likely checked it. I don't think its necessarily a bad play but in I don't see how villain could possibly make any big mistakes in that line.

In a nutshell, it forces them to balance multiple ranges and play multiple different game tress they will be unfamiliar with

@@playitsmartpoker how does it force them to play multiple ranges when the response is essentially the exact same as in the checking line (call instead of check and raise instead of bet)? The only exploitative reason I could see for this play is that people start raising at a higher or lower frequency than they would bet if you check, but as I said imo that's not really happening. Do you have a different opinion? If not what is this bet trying to accomplish?

31:52 this is using a single data point (where you didnt even see villian hand) from a completely different part of the game tree to create a 5BJam range. Cold 4B SBvsBU has jams, COvsBB does not. The jam is fine but the reasoning is misguided imo.

When you say “avoid donating your stack at some frequency” - do you mean avoid taking lines involving all-in bluffs without a high degree of confidence? In this video for instance we see an example where you all-in bluff with 3rd pair with success, and also a Villain punting with one of the worst combos blocker-wise How does one develop the capability to differentiate between “stack donations” and well-timed aggressive lines? I guess that’s a big part of developing into an advanced player? Or would you perhaps advocate avoiding these lines before developing the confidence & experience to know firmly whether the play is right (especially when it doesn’t work out)

To some degree trial by fire is the way. You make creative plays based on what you think your opponent range is ( big bluff or big call etc) and track how accurate you are. The biggest thing is to learn from your mistakes. When you start playing more exploitative, aggressive and creative, you will 100 percent end up punting stacks sometimes. Its part of the journey like if you want to be a boxer you should expect to get punched in the face sometimes. The important thing is you that you also win yourself ev using these same skills more often than it goes wrong but also you keep track of the situations you were correct ( and keep doing them) or situations you were wrong and avoid those spots.

High stakes online poker is already dead. How long do you give it before 500, 200 etc wont be worth grinding full time for an income anymore?

High stakes is not dead. You just need to play multiple sites / can even play mix of plo/nl or mtt and cash etc. There is still plenty of money to be made in the games if you're willing to put in the work. They have been saying poker will be dead next year for the last 10+ years. Online poker is alive and well but you need to be more competitive to get your piece of the pie is my answer.

26:53 this xr. You say backdoors. But its JJJ, if you realise equity for the straight/flush then you are probably behind to a FH already anyway. So you are hoping to hit a T/8 and check down mostly. What is your value xr range here? Given IP has all the top houses that beat you.

Wouldn't a good player realise you only xr Jx for stacks, and maybe not even jx, thus just float you with range then barrel off everything wide for value and bluff.
