at 12:20ish where you 3bet 22 in the bb 200bb deep against a solid reg. I really don't like that. I'm surprised that tsifknits folded pre. If it was other more competent opponents, you're just putting yourself in a very shitty spot where you are forced to play a 3bet pot oop with 200bb deep stack and you will just get owned post so often that makes this 3bet really horrible imho. I think when playing 200bb deep oop, it's better just to flat most of your range and keep the pot under control.
just my 2cents.
it will be extremely easy to play 22 postflop in this spot. you either flop a set and play a huge pot or you cbet/take it down on favorable flops. even if we ch/f in every other scenario, it's probably still +ev.

You asked if we wanted more rewind or sweat.. Id say sweat because unlike most other video makers, you dont waste 1hour explaining why you are CR'ing a hand for value and betting the turn.. or explaining for 10mins why you are cbetting a dry Ace high board in position.
You get to the point rapidly and know exactly why you are doing it.
So please keep doign them.. the 1hour sweat vids you do are almost as easy to watch as krantz's videos.. while most others its impossible to get over 15mins because hes still talking about cbetting AQ2 with AQ after the first 15

Here you decide not to 3 bet JJ because of his high fold to 3 bet% UTG. What type of stats are you looking for to be able to 3 bet JJ? or AQ? And is it only vs UTG raiser or you would do go through the same process vs a CO open even though their starting range would be wider (say they open 35% but fold 85% to 3bet)?
(Thank you. Awesome video. 5*)

Good video, I really enjoy the sweat format. I have a couple of questions. My first is about a couple of turn spots.
34 mins w/ Qx v AJ and you talk about how terrible villain’s play was when you turn a queen and check it back, then cal his river lead
41 mins AK after 3betting, cbetting Qxx then checking the ace turn
In both these spots you check the turn after it gives you top pair. Both are spots you would probably double barrel with air, I think you say as much in the AK hand. Against a reg that knows this isn’t there value to betting the turn, for value as well as balance in both scenarios?
My second question is more of a request. You spent a lot of time talking about tsifnit and his obviously exploitable responses to 3bets. Since it is obviously too borad a topic to cover in on post could you possibly discuss in a future video how to respond to someone 3betting as light as you are/do?
Thanks

4-bet bluff, 4-bet a wider range for value, call with a wider range ip.

And tighten up the opening range?
OOP maybe.. but I actually wouldn't since 4-betting Noah with ATC is going to be +EV. Noah is 3-betting like a pig on coke.
Should Noah adjust by 3-betting less and/or expanding his shoving range we might have to tighten up slightly when OOP. But Thomas S I Fk nits (tsifknits) is already pretty tight.

General comment to the video. Really liked it most of it. But in my opinion you are checking too often in spots where you would bet most air and villain has a ton of potential bluff catchers in his range. That makes sense if:
A) Villain is stupid or
B) You have a read that suggests that you need to strengthen your bluff catching range on the river.
On a side note. Alexander T is a HUGE calling station and one of the few where bet, check, bet line is not a good bluff line to take.

thats exactly what i was thinking.
you checked some turns where u were improving. at the same time, you would probably barrel those unimproved. i do think this can be ok sometimes, but how do you balance those spots against players that you do often play against. you would loose a lot of barrel credibility imo

noah ur stats discussion intrigued me in the sense that i dont use stats as i dont think it helps me think about poker. but do you think there is something to be said for intuition and feel? For me its more profitable no doubt. I actually did an experiment with it. What in general makes some ppl play better not usinig stats?
