Yeah, would love to see how to pick correct sizing. But also would love to watch a video on how to check-raise the turn.

Would love to see a video about check-raising sizes!!! Great Video!

Always great video !! Thank you Saulo !!

Thnx for the vid, Saulo, amazing vid!!!

Nice one, thank you. I would like to see another video about the sizes!

Awesome, bet sizing is also an interesting factor.

Thanks for the vid! I do this a lot, but I didn't yet know all the theoretical reasons you pointed out to make this play. Please provie a sizing video, would be greatly appreciated :)

I agree with everyone. A bet sizing video would def tie this whole subject together for us👍 Great vid!

Great video, learned something new!

Awesome video one of my favs

Fantastic Saulo!

HU opponent's nick is fishboy in Finnish. The letter j is spelled a little bit differently here in Finland, similarly like japanese would spell the letter y on the car tire brand Yokohama. 10 cent stakes player thanks for the good advice.

Sure, check-raising sizes video pleeease!

Your content is so good!

*The more you know In J.I. Joe voice Great content

Do a sizing vid please

Awesome video! Would love to see the follow on video for check raise sizings!

re 6:00 Could you clarify please, what is the reason that Qx and Ax stand out? is Ax or Qx considered a thin valuebet on the river and expects a call from unpaired Tx and lower in HU? Because if it isn't then villain wouldn't call a cr with it or even bet in the first place, right? Or is it a kicker thing for paired hands? Just wondering what a bet-checkraise-call_checkraise range would look like that villain wants to protect himself from bluff cr in that spot.

ESSA TA FUNCIONANDO SAULAO DA MASSA, CURTI PACAS É NOIS CATIORRO.

Great video. Thank you.

Definitely curious how you decide your proper check raise sizing. On the last hand you played with KJo on the doubke paired board, you made a massive raise. I assume you are mostly targeting Ace highs with this bluff, which begs the question, why so big? You went like 4x pot. I would have assumed a much smaller raise would accomplish the same, but maybe I’m wrong. Was this an exploitative sizing? Do you expect smaller bets to get called by Ace high? Were you targeting stronger hands with this bluff? I’m not doubting you at all, because you are the goat, just trying to get an idea of your thought process for this sizing. Thank you!!!

I know I keep repeating myself but... yet another great video. this one might actually be my favourite so far. learned quite a few things. solver heuristics are always the best.

Nice video. But “blocking nuts” is also good for bluff catch call. When should we do river x/r bluff instead of just calling to catch?

@matta5749

Жыл бұрын

blocking value is much less important for bluffcatching. Bluffcatching is mostly just about unblocking bluffs, bluff raising is about unblocking bluffs AND blocking value. Most bluff raise candidates can either call or raise though

@emphyriohazzl1510

Жыл бұрын

It's not absolutely true. On average unblocking bluffs usually has a wider effect on the bluff/value ratio of your opponent than blocking value but in some situations bluff ctaching can be all about blockign value, especially in spots where ranges get much more polarized. Let's say for instance you 3 bet and call a 4 bet CO vs BB 350bb deep against a sick good reg. flop A53o goes ck ck, turn Qo goes ck ck, river A he checks, you bet, he CRaises, you 3bet large, he shoves. You're much better off calling with QQ than with A5s. He only reps AA or AQ so he has exactly 3 combos of value in both cases, but his whole range always contains an A (his bluffs are some Ax of some kind), so it's all about what the other card is. When you hold A5s or A3s, he has 3 Q possible for his other card, when you hold QQ he has one A and one Q for his other card. And of course good luck knowing which Ax he uses as an occasional bluff in such an unfrequent spot, so unblocking bluffs is 100% irrelevant in this case (ie QQ isn't better because it ublocks his Ax bluffs since he always has an A, it's only better because it blocks more his value range - even though it's not obvious at first sight).

You CR bluff hands that are not profitable to bluff catch with. You can make fold the weaker part of his value range in addition to his bluff range. You risk more money but make fold hands that could beat you if you had just called, so sometimes you end up CR bluffing with hands that have some sd value but not enough to call profitably.

That last KJo hand. The c/r % for your range is under 5. Did you have a randomizer help you make that decision? WIth a percent that low, how are you making sure you don't over bluff?

@saulocostapoker

Жыл бұрын

You don't have to be concerned with overbluffing unless you think you are likely to get overcalled. That being said, yes I do use randomizer

One thing im confused about Saulo. When we hold KJ, dont we block his bluffs more like JTo, KQo for example?

@bubbleEIN

Жыл бұрын

You can see from 19:53 that opponent's Khigh always goes check, and JTo is a check too since btn doesn't have many value hand in this line and runout. Btn's bluffing candidates would be J6s J5s T6s type of hands which block bb's 7x fullhouses. Yeah although J doesn't have that good properties for xr bluffing, but K is relatively good, so all the bb's Kx have some low frequency for xr bluffing.

rodckz is indeed one of the best regs out there, i played against him at nl500 on stars and other sites as well.

Would this strategy work at the micros/small stakes? Opponents seem to like checking back TPTK+ as soon as the board completes a draw they. The pools are super nitty as you've said in your previous videos. I just don't understand how to start implementing this strategy at the lower stakes I'm understanding the blockers and all that. Wouldn't we want to block bet when we have value hands and as well bluffs? If they check back Top pair it seems disastrous for us as we lose value.

@saulocostapoker

Жыл бұрын

While what you are saying may be true (people are nitty and just check back too much), the fact that they are nitty will lead them to overfold if you bet as well. You should realize that regardless of what you do, if your opponents are too nitty you won't get too much value from your strong hands. They will play in ways that will decrease the EV of your strong hands in every line. If you want to maximize your EV, make sure you bluff those people a lot!

Every poker coach makes zero dollars playing online poker. Every. Single. One. It's comical.

This is utterly painful to watch. It’s not even the IP player reopens by betting the river it is YOU reopen the action on the river with a very marginal hand. You are actively making polarization errors out of position folding out all worse hands and will only get called by better. @18:11 your hand loses EV when bluff raising the river. Your action only gains ev when opponent river bets too thinly too often which isn’t that common. It also doesn’t make sense that you risk IP player checking back the river with a nutted hand most of the time when you use this line. Of course you can give them rope to bluff but why raise when you’re ahead of all his bluffs? Also from IP player your line looks extremely fishy trying to represent a polarized range given no bets when you had the chance to do so, one time on the turn and another on the river.
