Bud I can tell how much time and effort you put into making this. Masterclass scriptwriting also you really know the psychology of keeping the audience hooked and engaged, brilliant video
Awesome content! Costed me a fortune to get to similar conclusions as in your video. Would be great to see more highlights of the hands played against maniacs!
Amazing video as always..great stuff , great details.. it's like watching a movie.. Still fascinates me the fact that most people try to learn what the exploits are but not how to master them.. Meta is unbelievable. Keep going!
Just stacked a maniac 3 times in an hour with TONS of exploits, including the exploits mentioned in this video. Right after the session, this video popped up again. I remember watching this one, and between the published time of this video and now, a lot of other exploitative content. Really glad I shifted my approach from theory-based to exploitative-based, completely viewing the game differently, playing better, knowing more about what I am doing, and enjoying the game more. Thank you Saulo!
Dude, you make some great content. Always informative, I love it. And watching you in real time swear at opponents, saying things like "I'll get you next time", man I can totally relate. Keep up the good work! Your videos are always entertaining, and always informative.
Do you think the preflop adjustment to play tighter vs maniac applies to defending the BB? Like say they open wider, it increases the equity of more holding for us, and wed be getting good odds to defend. But if they overaggress, it might make it hard to realize that equity. But we can also station more. Im wondering if closing the action we want to tighten up, or if it only applies to if we are opening the action?
The key is to understand that overaggression can in fact decrease the EV of many hands in your range. It still generates EV for you as a whole if you can exploit it, but most of the time its your good hands that capture that extra EV, not the weak ones. That said it is possible for a weak hand to overrealize equity against hyper aggression. It just needs to be so much aggression that opponent will be hopeless against counter attacks. If someone 3bets any 2 cards against you and only calls top 10% vs all in, you should definitely not tighten up, on the contrary - many auto fold hands will become pure opens just so you can put a 4bet all in shove and get that 90% fold equity. A postflop analogy would be someone that cbets every single board 100% of the time but then folds 75% to check-raise. You should overcall preflop against this player, not overfold You'll pretty much never encounter this level of absurd aggression though. Most aggressive players won't be aggressive enough to the point that they're generating any value to your weakest hands
I think you mention stuff that I have asked myself many times. I Know that you are a Cash player but could you try answer this please? Lets suppose Bu opens and we are in the bb with 20bb. Suppose that against a regular we should jam Q9s because he will fold QJo QTo and when he calls we are still doing ok. Suppose that if the Bu is a regular he is gonna call us with a range of 20% of hands. Imagine he was a fish and he would call our rejam with 40% range. Would it be more or less profitable then to jam Q9s??? We have more equity when called, but we steal the blinds less often. How could I think about this intuitively without holdem resources or a program like that? Thanks very much Saulo.
Brilliant video, as usual, Master Saulo! What is your definition of an agro-player? Agr% flop turn river 40/35/40? Wwsf 50+ wonsd 50? And necessarily winning red line? like for Stefan Let's say if he has a negative red line or even breakeven, he wouldn’t qualify for an agro-player?
Thanks bro! Yeah I think anything above the stats you mentioned should be considered on the aggro side. But even then there will be multiple levels of aggression. A 40/35/40 player is very different from a 45/40/45. It doesn't have to be a positive redline player for these adjustments to be correct. They could have very high aggression frequencies and still have a losing redline.
Yeah, he was likely trying to exploit what he perceived as a very capped weak range. Together with his image he was looking to get hero'ed by A highs. That's just my assumption anyways, but can't see many other possibilities
Pô, mas tipo, a frequência ótima de blefe não é igual a pot odds do Call? Então conta alguém oberblefando não é correto simplesmente pagar tudo que ganha dos blufs?
Por exemplo se o cara vai apostar pote e a odds do Call vai ser 33%, então a frequência de blufs que você deve ter é 33%, se o cara blefar 34% o Call com qualquer mão que ganha dos blufs já se torna lucrativo não?
Praricamente isso sim mano...foi isso que falei no video 😅 vc assistiu tudo? Porém tem uma complicaçãozinha a mais ai no meio que são blockers. Pode haver blockers tao ruins que bloqueiam blefes, e ai esses blockers vão perceber uma frequencia de blefe menor. A frequencia de blefe que importa é a percebida pelo combo individual
I went through that today and almost called him down ...I tanked for a while because it didn't make sense..but I folded. He said he had 3rd pair. I had 2nd pair
I mean, the aggressive player only plays like that because he thinks he is the one doing the exploiting 😁 poker is a game of continuous adjustments. Your job is to always stay one step ahead, and be the one doing the exploiting instead of the one getting exploited. In that context, surely you can't expect an exploit to last forever. You gotta prepare for your opponent's adjustments vs you and anticipate their next move. Playing exploitative is hard 😅
15:20 and 15:53 - these are not correct examples. Stefan was value betting the river in both scenarios. It's not that easy to play against aggros, cause good aggressive players know that they get much more loose calls and they bet for value wider.
I love your content, Saulo! I am wondering how should I imagine the amount of free content you share versus your cfp content. If you could provide some sort of % estimate would be nice. If you share for example 3 exploits vs. passive players for free, in your staking group, you have much more, like 15 exploits? In other words, if you share 10% of your knowledge for free, it could mean that your cfp members are equipped with an extra 90% of knowledge? So myself who only watch your free videos, have no chance to win vs. ur average students? Because he has more knowledge available through your company. I'm just curious and would love to work with you Thanks again for the knowledge you share!
I make videos without holding any information. I believe that's the best way to grow an audience - generating genuine value to other people. But of course, I can only touch on complex topics superficially in 15 minute videos. Even this video, as good as it may be, can't be a complete description of how to play agaisnt aggressive players. The game is too big. So the main difference to my students would be that they get classes frequently with me, get to ask me questions in private, get my feedback to their hand histories, get my trained eyes to look for leaks and their stats. It's totally different to watch a video from someone and then talk to them every week about your game
My brain can't comprehend your level #2 exploit. Isn't only response to aggression, aggression back ? If BB over-bluff 3-bets with of-suited sector that means best exploit back is to vpip more(4-bet, call) and not tighten up preflop range because of that.
When your opponent is too aggressive with some middle range hand or trash hand, your value hand like AA KK QQ has way more EV than what GTO suggests. Middle range hand like 77,88,99, KTs You are running a flip against your opponent most of the time. And it’s hard to defend when the board does not hit. If your opponent do not know you tighten up your range(reducing Vpip), you can always wait for a big hand and let them fire.
watching this made me realise live poker will always be king, sad peopllle cant use there own brains they need solvers and hand histories of players to then adjust accordingly its just legal cheating takes alot of the skill out the game
Unfortunate you think in this way. I think using the tools requires a lot of studying and thinking, it probably makes the game even more challenging intellectually compared to not using them

Thank you very much for the compliments Gary! 🧡
i felt so represented at the exploit 2 "next time i'll get you" hehe
Great video saulo🥳Especially production was on point
Thanks buddy, appreciate it
Awesome content! Costed me a fortune to get to similar conclusions as in your video.
Would be great to see more highlights of the hands played against maniacs!
AMAZING!!!! The best content in the internet is here!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Please tell me where can i get GTO HHs? Thanks for the great video!

Awesome feedback mate! Thank you for posting this. Keep going!
This was incredible content. I don't say that often to poker videos.
tough ass call with JJ at the end there.......great vid!
Nice Saulo love the video. Stefan Burakov is a beast with his bluffs though but good to know how to exploit it!
Excellent video!
Dude, you make some great content. Always informative, I love it. And watching you in real time swear at opponents, saying things like "I'll get you next time", man I can totally relate. Keep up the good work! Your videos are always entertaining, and always informative.
Thanks buddy, your feedback means a lot ❤️
Hey Saulo (and all others), can anyone tell what is that node locking software that Saulo uses in this video? I've seen it in many videos.
Top tier production and data research here!
Thank you!
Nice video Saulo! Where could I get the MDA popups that you use?
Those were custom made man. You can either build your own popups or check H2N store, there are some for sale there

Insane Value in this one 💪
Great content! It makes me willing to play against Stefan, i fell like i can beat him now!🔥🔥🔥
HAHAHA slow down mate. The video is nice but let's not get ahead of ourselves 😂
@@saulocostapoker Just kidding, my bankroll is around 5 big blinds of his games 😂😂.
you can beat him but make sure there's no cameras around ;)
at the exploit 2, we should 3bet less often too or just open less often?
You mean like against aggressive 4bettors? If so, yeah 3bet less
Thank you! 👍
Very FUN and informative video. Great acting when getting ran over by the aggro player, I say acting bc we all know you would never fold this much :D
HAHAHAHAH I love this
yeah, I felt it in my guts, brrrr
Great video
Thanks!
What a Video Man...Too good
Glad you liked it!
Fatty？
Were 86s and 66 in the last 2 hands vbets? :D
Yeah, pretty sure
Mais um excelente vídeo.
Amazing video, as always!
Thanks Toni
very nice video 👍👍
thanks
This is a great video
by the way, your metagame URL doesn't work
Thanks for letting me know, fixed it!
that 66 was valubet?
Yeah, he was likely trying to exploit what he perceived as a very capped weak range. Together with his image he was looking to get hero'ed by A highs. That's just my assumption anyways, but can't see many other possibilities

SEMPRE APRENDO MTO COM SEUS VIDEOS, VOU VER O QUE VOCE , FICOU FODA O VIDEO COM O JUNGLEMAN TBM
VALEU JULIO, TAMO JUNTO
"i will get him next time" syndrome is very strong when dealing with maniacs
Checking out of position and letting maniacs bluff is one of the most satifying thing
Agree 1000%
I went through that today and almost called him down ...I tanked for a while because it didn't make sense..but I folded. He said he had 3rd pair. I had 2nd pair
You'll get him next time!
Do you think everyone on HS adjusted well to S.Burakov already?
No, definitely not. Facing aggression is hard. And Stefan is the type to mix things up all the time, its hard to keep track of what he's doing
Why bvb limped at 14:56?
Best Video ever...
Thank you!!
Se deixar de ser jogador já pode ir pra Globo uai, fez curso de atuação com Wolf Maia? 😂
Goat
No me extraña que pierdas jugando en esa sala
super sick video saulo - the value it truly insane
thanks buddy, appreciate it!
playing the same vs agro player with words" next time i win" xD

Don’t those guys ever wise up to what you’re doing and eventually stop bluffing so much or start doing this when they get a real hand
I mean, the aggressive player only plays like that because he thinks he is the one doing the exploiting 😁 poker is a game of continuous adjustments. Your job is to always stay one step ahead, and be the one doing the exploiting instead of the one getting exploited. In that context, surely you can't expect an exploit to last forever.

Hey buddy. The fact that he was thin value betting instead of bluffing doesn't change anything. The exploit of slowplaying value remains the same
bro ri demais tu fazendo as dublage no exploit 2 KKKKKKKKK TNc kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
kkkkkkk ator nivel record

so basically, learn GTO? yea bro I knew that..
So this video will end Stefans career 😢
lol probably not 😅

Nobody cares about heads up, it’s unrelatable to vast majority of players
