Dude, I've been playing poker for almost 2 decades and I was studying poker on forums and Skype groups before GTO was even a thing or even terms like 3b were the most novel thinking of the time, and I STILL find some of these concepts hard to grasp without multiple watches. This is one of the most technical high level channels out there. There's a lot better beginner, novice and intermediate strategy channels out there. I suggest BenCB for tournament poker and phil galfond for general advice and PLO. They're some good starting points because while they have some more advanced strategy, they also go into basic stuff and their thought processes are much more digestible to newer players IMO.
nice to see the face behind the content for the first time and also very nice to be the first to cheers you about it, keep it up, amazing work here mate!
glad i got the correct answer in the poll however as another commenter pointed out i did miss a key part in the overall reasoning, so i cant give myself full marks yet. awesome video and follow-up, top tier content as always
Sorry i’m late! The hand of the real Linus against the fake Linus kill me 😂 Men,u have to find as quickly as possible an editor! More video like this⭐️
@@2CardConfidence Ty, so proud of myself I figured it out immediately without looking at the solver! Couldn’t have done it without your channel, Giraffe, and Saulo Costa!
I got a question about flop strategy as ip ( 4:47 ). I really don't get why we can use these big sizes like 125% so often in this spot when we have no 86 combos. Can't BB even defend 86o in this rake structure so we play against potentially 16 combos of 86? Great channel watching every video
Fantastic video! Two questions I can't answer. In the second hand on the flop why is it almost always a check raise with A8s K8s Q8s while with A6s, K6s Q6s it is almost always a call? And to river for the solver why is a clear call whit 76c while is a clear fold whit 76d and 76s? Thanks
My guess why 8x is a better check raise than 6 is that it can make higher straights on certain runouts. Also 8x blocks some of IP's calling hands like T8 and J8 as we saw, which probably is a bit of a factor too. Regarding 76 combos, in my sim all of them are folds on the river. Where did you see 76c being a call and the other ones not?
My take is that it has to do with balance. Notice he takes 3 distinct actions with the J9's combos in 4:01. One folds, one jams and the other calls. I would imagine that the one chose to fold (clubs) its because it lacks backdoors on the flop, so he can't ever bomb the river. We bomb when we have the goods or when we miss completely -the polarized big bets concept- and since the clubs combo cant even miss it, he will never bet as a bluff. So he wouldnt even call it with the intention of bluffing later -floating- , he just always folds it. I guess thats about it man
I tried to sim this because the overbet frequency on the flop 579 as CO seemed off intuitively. When I run the same spot (150bb stack) I get an overbet frequency on the flop of less than 1%. Where is the error?
@@2CardConfidence sure, but realistically I think it’s very unlikely Nacho is happy with the way he played this hand if we were to ask him (now that would be content). Anyway, love the vids my man even if i don’t agree with every point, keep it up!
Obviously GTO is optimal and earns money in the long run, and mid-stakes players don’t often play that way. Seems like these super high-stakes guys are pretty close though. How can sites like GG monitor whether players are cheating with solvers, esp if these players play so closely to GTO?
Machine learning algorithms will catch you based on the frequencies of the decisions you're taking..but need good amount of data. Also, based on time stamp, hand is reviewed on GTO Wizard.
I’ve been in so many scenarios where my initial gut instinct says my hand is no good here. But the back of my head starts talking about how I block the value hands and unblock bluff hands so I put the money in and of course i lose. I think people in reality puts to much emphasis on blockers. If you hold A6 and the board is QJ10 32 and you decide to shove. Are you really blocking AK? You’re just removing 25% of AK combos so 75% is still out there. On top of that your opponent can still call with lesser hands like smaller straights, sets, two pair hands.
This only works if you're palying against other GTO humans which is maybe 1% of players if playing at your local casino, when people take this line its 95% the nuts
no hate or anything but the cut to ur face is a bit jarring like im so invested in the content then it just cuts to ur face idk bro no hate but i prefer the old formats
I do not need any of this garbage info, just play your cards and opponents. I have been doing very well for 20 years,,,,,,hahaha,,,,Sometimes use some variables, but i can think of most situations to make the proper decision. hahaha

Ive been playing for almost a month. My goal is to get to a point where I can understand wtf is going on in this video
😂 Ya this is advanced stuff man. Focus on foundation and prefloo ranges stuff for now

@windy6455 yea this
Most poker strategies stem from knowing preflop ranges. So learning preflop ranges first will be a good start.
😂

Thanks a lot my friend!
Epic face also. 9/10 face atleast
Didn't expect such compliment, but surely appreciate it :D
I don't even need to watch the video. The moment I saw you posted it I cliked like. By far the best poker content on youtube
Appreciate that a lot, thank you!
Change your pants.
glad i got the correct answer in the poll however as another commenter pointed out i did miss a key part in the overall reasoning, so i cant give myself full marks yet.
awesome video and follow-up, top tier content as always
Having a clear path of reasoning at all is the most important part!
Glad you liked it :)
My word, your content is incredible!
I'm glad you like it! :)
the end is soul crushing
Gotta embrace the challenge :)
Nice video! Seems like a big mistake to call with 67 when it's chopping with bluffs :)
Very good point! :)
Always check back your 67
Amazing video. Sometimes i have a hard time keeping up with the fast pace of ranges and gtowizard, but thats just me who isn too familiar with it.
Sure understand. Best to just pause the video when you want to look at something more in depth
@@2CardConfidence yes 🙌
Sorry i’m late!
The hand of the real Linus against the fake Linus kill me 😂
Men,u have to find as quickly as possible an editor!
More video like this⭐️
Working on it! :)
Thank you for sharing such good contents.
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
First time I've seen your face.. Love your videos man, Keep up the good work! 😎🔥
Thanks man, appreciate the support!
The face reveal 🤩Great video, as always!🔥
Thanks a lot!
awesome vid buddy, thank you
Ayeee I was featured in a video 👀 😅
Haha great job! You hit it really well :)

Didn't see that BB range was also shown. Makes more sense to me when 86o is pure fold
Yep I think it would look different if 86o was in there
lol what is the effective difference between unblocking folds, and blocking calls, aka go for value.
Can you go over early position vs mid position type stuff. I can't find coaches that go over that stuff. Everyone goes over Button vs big blind
Will see what I can do, thanks for the suggestion!

@@2CardConfidence maybe because I simulated 100bb MTT 8 handed
How recently played are these hands which are being shown?
They're from spring this year
What is application name??😮
At 4:01, why does Jd9d call almost 100% and Jc9c fold almost 100%? This is the part I don’t really get

Hard to say without seeing it. Did you use GTOW? And which preflop ranges?
@@2CardConfidence yea GTOW, and I used GTO ranges without modifications
That might be the reason as I used ranges from a custom sim. But as said hard to say from a distance :)
86s and 64s would be a raise as co in MOST lineups. Why not included in gto?
i love fake linus
@kideokpark1845 I know he is Korean most popular online poker player
I very young. I guest because i seee he play very often on gg poker.
Nononono, just keep spewing stacks into me with the 'BlOcKeRs' GTO Whalezard regs!
🤣
I love these videos although this theorie is way to advanced for NL10😂❤
...but you're prepared for the future ;)
@@2CardConfidence Facts!
Thats what I need it for. The big plan😃

Giving Nacho punting way too much credit, literally not beating all bluffs here lol
Maybe, but maybe reality looks different? Who knows

Don't!! These fking GTO fish keep paying me off with their imaginary blockers.
