thanks for the change in content btw. great to see more play and explains 45:48 - AQo you mention that vs CO you dont mind calling, but vs EP/MP its always a 3-bet. curious of logic there, because i would usually think opposite. vs CO AQo is relatively stronger, and also we risk being squeezed more since CO range is weaker, so i would be inclined to 3b more aggressively, whereas vs the EP/MP, the ranges are narrower and relatively AQo is a little weaker, and we get squeezed less, so naturally seems like AQo would prefer to flat vs earlier positions, and 3b more vs later positions.
I'm surprised that you thought A8o from readraise was loose on the turn @ 18:00. Your range is very polar and A8 blocks AQ, A5 and 88 and unblocks all potential straight+flush draws. Its one of the best pure bluff catchers facing a jam on the river as well. I was hoping you went for it on the river too😄 he's for sure good enough to make the call with this specific hand but its still overall a tough spot for all the other parts in his range and it cant hurt putting people in uncomfortable spots and forcing them into determining whether a 0 EV hand in theory is + or - given stats/reads/intuition etc. Really love how your approaching the game in a more practical way and using solvers to make +ev deviations to player tendencies. It helps get a better understanding of theory that way IMO. i.e. if someone should have leads, but in practice has 0, then we should check back more frequently. and understanding other similar logics related to how strategies change
Have not played much with villain recently but from what i remember i believed he would be over-folding the turn. This is obviously the best catcher but thought the chance was decent he would just fold most catchers on turn in game.
52:09, with TT vs bb not sure why we'd really wanna use a small flop size often at all here. Seems like the exact hand we want to start over betting/big bet quite often. Then on turn after flop c/r not sure this hand wants to use that small of a size even in the c/r check line. River seems like a jam as well given his line, we have the effective nuts. Perhaps this hand was overlooked due to the cold 4b pot with JJ on the left table but seems like we should/could have won more vs his exact hand and range for sure. Great video as usual though.
We will mainly big bet check, but the lower the second card becomes the more small bets we can implement and i think TT in a vacuum plays fine as a small bet as well. I believe in game i also mentioned i played it badly, was to focused on adjustments we can make if the range is unbalanced, usually allowing us to bet more and thinner but my hand does not want to do that.
12:45 was like a 5-second wait before checking, hardly snap, and AT obviously a really natural check. Feels a bit like fancy play syndrome looking for all these justifications to deviate, hard to imagine you would ever do this if you weren't making a video.
Im obviously more on the lookout given the theme of the video, but i would say a 4 second check (just quickly timed it) i still find very fast (something you dont see much at higher stakes) and imo you can reduce more strong hands from villains range and then betting AT is a fine play.

Best hair health in the pool
Good Stuff! 👍
Great video, are those AI GTOW sims? 😏 I notice a lot of big bets in this video.
The solver used is PioSolver
Yes its the GTO AI sims im using, set up for 1 sizing on flop/turn for this vid
Lol at putting AI on everything these days to make it sound fancy. This is not ai, it's just Sims. Omfg cringe.
so the exploit vs wakko is snap check strong bluff catchers :p haha
