I've just finished watching this list of GTOx Fundamentals and I can't state how much I appreciate all of your content, I've learned so much but more importantly, I've learned how to study for myself and how to create balanced gto strategies using all of the tools you've mentioned and the value of that is incalculable. Thanks so much for everything, I'll keep watching all of your content and start using gtox.

The intro, the voice, the tempo, the visual interface and the music choices nothing else than absolutely TOP NOTCH ❤ from Sweden

This and your how to bluff video are the 2 best sources of poker knowledge I have ever found on youtube. Can't wait for the bluffcatching video!

Every day I learn something new about card removal effects and today is how it can even affect the frequency of value betting with a very strong hand

Great video, really love the way this teaches how to utilize GTOX while also teaching a concept, feels like a great value! Looking forward to more, and going to go searching for them on your channel now haha 😁 thank you!!

Im pretty sure Finding Equilibrium is just a poker AI experiment. Doesnt even sound human.

Great Video!!!

can you do some specific situations solved by the gto program? like, what to do in monotone boards, paired boards, both in and out position

@ 11:20 - QQ likely blocks BB's X range OTR aswell so IP can

While explaining these can you have a mini window displaying the board so I cam carry along learning more easily say, while I'm in more of an audio listener mode 🤔

Hey thanks for the video! What is a good heuristic for bet sizing for a beginner?

One very helpful tip when considering which bet-sizings to use is targeting the _widest part of your opponent's range._ The goal is to make a very large portion of his hands indifferent between calling and folding; doing so will force him into very tough and very marginal spots. In fact, the wider range of hands you can target the quicker you're going to start making sense of all the stuff flying around in your head right now, and it makes your decisions much easier and leads to you just straight-up winning. A clear example is when you open BTN and BB just calls - flop comes A72r and we cbet *small* with a *wide* range here to put him in jail because BB has a ton of stuff that missed (bunch of offsuit Tx, 9x, and random suited stuff) and we want to force BB to continue with weaker holdings otherwise we just win more than our equity-share of the pot. When we bet small he has to continue wider, placing enormous pressure on the biggest part of BB's range (junk) so BB has to choose between calling with air or straight up lose 100% of the pot now by folding. Even BB's junkiest hands have equity which we don't allow him to realize if he faces a bet and folds. Even 6% equity is not zero, but he's not allowed to see showdown now so he can't realize his equity so we end up stealing his equity-share every time BB folds. The more hands we can make indifferent the more this happens. If we instead bet larger on the flop then BB has a much easier time just folding more hands and this doesn't let us punish his range. Betting large on this board also costs us more when BB does have something good like two pair or a set and the large size fails to extract value from weaker pairs as well. Obviously this is no shortcut because you still have to consider nut/range advantage, equity-denial/realization, future streets, stack-sizes, opponent tendencies, etc. But targeting a wide part of your opponent's range is the fastest way to prove to yourself that you understand what you're doing. When you find yourself with the nut or range advantage start asking "what does he have here, what is the biggest group of hands he has?" - then strategize against that range. Always keep thinking in terms of range vs range because strategy itself is derived from these range imbalances. Gl with your new superpowers. ;)

Very simplified rules that work when you still arent into gto but still very solid fundamentals: -You should bet small 25-33% pot when your range dominates your opponent's (example) you open UTG BB calls Flop comes AQ2r here you bet small and often because the 2 broadways help your range a lot while the bb is less likely to have many broadways in his calling range. -Bet large (66-75% pot) with pure value or decent showdown hands, and check around 30-50% of the times when you dont have range advantage. checking with value hands helps you disguise them and protects your weak hands from people overbetting after you check (this is especially true when out of position). You should also bet large and more often with your semi-bluffs such as straight and flush draws or even gutshots. -Value bet large with the nuts when opponent has nut advantage, like your flush against any possible straight or worse flushes your opponent has in their range and small when your opponent has less nut hands in his range, like in a very dry board you will scare away any medium-strength to strong pairs by betting large and you polarize your hand. Aside from ranges, you should also consider board texture when choosing bet size. As said before, bet small in dry boards, bet big in wet boards with a lot of draws. Also always bet small in paired or monotone flops (obviously there are more factors worth considering to perfect your exploitative/gto strategy, but these are just some basic fundamentals you should consider when choosing bet sizes)

FE, you ever think about doing PLO content?

Why does KT sometimes check on the turn but K9 bets all the time?

Pretty sure it has to do with blockers to draws. When you have the 10 on that turn you block j10 A10 even Q10 which are all hands you want to get value from. Assuming you are always betting K10d you're going to be checking K10s and K10c while sometimes buffing K10h. The reason why K9 bets all the time is you don't block the value range of hands you beat that could be calling and you both have a similar amount of 9s in each range. That's why K8 and lower starts to check more because you're blocking the bottom of their range and want to just get to showdown with top pair no kicker.

Love the content, but take a breath! The audio pace is at an intense level. I'd love a second here and there to process what you're saying.
