None of them : 1- River is the most costly street and is even more crucial in MTT than in Cash since you can be OUT in some spots. The reasoning of "I've called turn therefore I should called river" is crap in common board forms of poker. But it is somewhat the norm in Stud game. If you get to 6th usually you have to pay on 7th street because of the oods (could be somewhere around 10-1 or 14-1, I would have to go back to my shhets to be more precise). But even then, if you know the player you are facing, you can lay down your hand and save a bet. 2- I do not even understand why should I use a randomizer and honestly I do not even understand precisely what it is. Though someone explained it to me and it seemed simple enough, but, hey, you know, I am dumb like that 🤭😁 3- Big but specific topic, but generally speaking, yeah being balanced is an overrated consideration. 4- Thanks a lot for this one. Actually, this last year I have played tighter and tighter as a tourney goes on because of two things : - I've donne data base review and not only of my hands but also population hands - Simply experience. By playing again and again, I felt sommething was not right and I changed my approach to my ranges as the tourney goes on. So not guilty of this one either for some time now but still, thanks you to have put theory on it, so now it is a gut feeling, experience AND a mathematically sound way of playing poker. 🙏 A few negative critics on the video, though : - At the beginning of the video you make the camera shake, I guess. It is unnerving. - The music a the end of the video is, to me, plain awful. I gather it is a free-to-use music, so I understand the process, but still.

Thanks Ben! Randomizing never made sense to me…and another point about balance that I don’t think is talked about enough is that most of us grinding the low and midstakes are often playing different opponents every time, especially on Sunday’s. What’s the point of focusing too much on balance against opponents you’ll rarely be seated with again anyways?

Solid advice, thanks Ben!

Smashin' content w 100% frequency, Ben. I really look up to all players who do so much for the community, while being at the absolute top of their game - and you are definitely top of that range :) ! (Yes, I am learning ranges. Thank you for asking) ALSO- BuzzFeed wants its "You wont believe how baddd #4 is!!" back :)

Wow, thanks a lot. Never heard before advise on frequency, had the same feeling it's more like game theorist rather than poker player. And it's not only in poker, in many other fields, people like to dive deep, to do research to have hot discussions on the matter. However your 30% to 70% advise seems more valuable, thanks Ben. And your ICM evaluation is also pretty damn interesting. It seems ICM is becoming more important concept than GTO (forgive maybe wrong comparison, pretty new to poker player here). Even when some youtubers/pro's say we need take those 0.1-0.2 EV spots edges to become a much winning player in the long run, I myself looking more for 0.4-0.6 spots (and after watching your video, it seems to me that wasn't much that wrong). Related to that favourite chart of Liam (smth 2nd name) in Kill everyone, tourney's start with 1+ icm, and go higher and reach a peak near bubble than fall and again have a peak around final table.

Damn, Ben! I bow before your wisdom and experience! Big THX for the info!

Love it man! I play PLO cash, and I think this also works there. Blindly trying to follow and learning GTO and been balance in low stakes has damage my winrate compared when I used to play mostly trying to exploit my opponents. We are playing vs humans, so everybody makes mistakes, fuck GTO and balance when you can find more profitable ways to play a hand.

One of the biggest mistakes players make (even me sometimes) its bluffing the fish with the blockers or cause the solver says that you cannot check that combo you always have to bluff.

What helped me a lot and i'm not joking, was a pencil and sheet of paper. Just take the pencil and draw the ranges for e.g. 40 bb for each position on the sheet. It takes me like 3-5 hours, but you can memorize the hands so much better.

Are ranges from your tournament masterclass chip ev or have "some amount" of ICM?

Amazing, I'm playing way too loose too. Yelling on my opponent wich are way too tight ^^ but finally they make ez safe ev.

i notice a lot of players who snap-decide in spots because they saw it from someone else in a totally different spot or they are confident enough that it's a clear fold/call. that is, in my eyes, a huge leak in a lot of players game

All great advice Ben, much appreciated. Would you randomise for preflop decisions on anonymous/HUDless sites? (Asking for a friend 🙄) Cheers.

@@RaiseYourEdge Well looks like I'm taking the one way road to value town from now on then.

As a student of the game and life-long student of lots of things, I think it requires courage, aside from experience, to deviate from any theory we're learning (assuming we don't have access to enough population data). I've been playing full-time with a decent winrate for a little over a year and I still catch myself making dumb calls, looking them up, and feeling better about myself if I technically only lost 0.01BB even though it's probably 10x-15x that 🤣 I'm gradually finding the hero folds, but making theoretically sound plays and being exploitatively wrong still feels better than listening to instincts, making some kind of read and then being wrong. Similarly, future game considerations imply being confident that you beat the field for which the extent of how you should adjust away from cEV is not always objectively measurable. Overall, assuming one uses marginal gto solutions as an excuse for bad exploitative play is too generalizing. Confidence and experience play an important role as well. "Following the book" to me seems to be the way to go before both are "sattelfest".

I kind of disagree with the second point. The use of the randomizer is helpful when all other things considered, we know we can take an agressive line, or hero call with a certain part of our range with a low freqency. Like you can't raise shove river with all the nut flush blockers or pair + missed gusthot but you have to do it sometimes.
