Is not one of the huge advantages of 3betting a hand like T6s when deep as opposed to a hand like A8o, is that when you are deep you want hands that you can barrel and put your opponent in a really tough spot with, T6s is going to flop a ton more draws and allow you to semi bluff with much more equity more often than A8o does. When you're 100bbs deep it's less good because there is less room to push your opponent off of something but when deep don't you want your 3betting range to contain a ton of hands that are going to flop good semi bluffs rather than hands that are going to flop marginal 1 pairs and put you in really tough spots when the pot gets big or not give you enough equity to comfortably barrel making your post flop ranges really polarised when you start playing a big pot?

if you 3bet no matter what type of hand it doesnt mean you have to go broke for 250bb with it, even with AA even tho you want to win as much money as possible.
Also if you think about how often a hand such as 6Ts flops a draw you can barrel with you will realize it doesn't happen as often. So if we wanna bluff we can bluff with A8o just as fine and rep all those draws we are trying to rep with 6Ts when we in reality don't have them ourselves. Especially because this is HU, if you 3bet Ax and flop an A its gonna be good often enough beacuse defending ranges in HU are way wider than in 6max. Plus you usually get called if you barrel A high and hit it on the turn/river because its a card you always bluff. That's why 3betting something like JQo is better than 6Ts esp if you know your opponent defends small pp and suited connectors because you usually have 2 overs plus backdoorstraight draws. AND you get value from worse if you flop a J/Q or better. But 6Ts is not gonna flop 2 overs that often.
I hope this makes sense, I am really bad at explaining myself on paper =(
Of course you are right that if you are very deep you rather want to have a straight on 789KA than A8 on AQJ54 when the pot is getting big but it happens so rarely anyway against competent player.

Something I found interesting that didn't get mentioned was villain's betsize on the turn. He bets about 2/3 pot, which sets up like a 1.2x pot river shove. My first thought would be that he's trying to maximize FE on the river, and would therefore be more likely to have air here. But I guess some tough opponents could do this to try to level you. What do you guys think?
Nice vid btw ![]()

Problem is why can't he be doing that for value as well? Seemed like a standardish betsize if it's for value. Obv also good for the bluff as well but unless I had some big read where he only bets 2/3 as a bluff, I don't see how I could go into it further : /

notice that we said he's a weak player therefore he most likely doesn't balance his bet sizing at all. So his big bets are very polorized and mostly bluffs because he would rather think about how to get value from his monsters by better not pot.
I still think his 3bet with 6Ts as said in the video is not profitable against such a player given that we are always in a shit spot like that.

Maybe I wasn't very clear. I thought the possible tell may have been that he wanted to maximize his FE on the river by setting up stacks for an overbet shove. As opposed to betting like 3/4 pot on turn and having a little under a PSB on the river (making it easier for you to call his shove).

it's definitely possible but since it's not a concrete piece of information, I don't put too much weight there

Final hand TT
Is there anything on turn you bet/fold?
Is it just floats?
Also what is your range to flat the flop then check/back the turn if you are raising TT on flop - is it just Ax that you dont 3-bet or 44,55?
Sorry just some questions from a micro donk.
Very good video I think you worked well together. I prefer videos with 2 instructors because they keep each other on their toes and it allows for less filler, and vague explanations. About the graphs, I play heads up from 200nl-600nl and my graph looks a lot like nanonoko's (losing a lot at non showdownm and winning a lot at showdown.) Syous, you said you actively at some point decided how you wanted to play heads up and the result was winning at non-showdown. What did you do specifically, increase you c/r, 3betting, open more buttons/fold less oop or were you more agro in unorthodox situations on turns and rivers? Also if you are still looking for someone to play in a duel match I'm pretty keen. Again great video keep up the good work.
P.s. The hand history/ipod downloadable format is also a huge plus.
