Here you spoke about the benefits of raising 2.5x w/ the an aggressive 3 bettor in the blinds. (more inclined to flat and able to 3 bet smaller) Would you recommend that in general, the 2.5x?...say when you have someone who is a notorious 3bet punisher yet to act. Or are you worried about losing value on your value hands by not opening to a more standard size and conversely do you think that these villain types would be induced to 3 bet even lighter due to our 2.5x?

By the way, is it me or is your HUD wayyyy smaller this video?

If I thought he was REALLY likely to 3b me (like this dude is 3betting me every other orbit... way over the top... that type of 3betting) I'd 2x it. I should probably actually do a spreasheet and/or CREV on this to show the difference in these different sizes as far as the 3b/4b/5b game goes.

I'm not worried about missing value because he's going to 3b me a lot.

Furthermore I only have AA ~1% of the time when I open OTB. I'm more concerned about making 40-50% more profitable than 1-5% slightly more profitable (if it matters at all).

It's not just you. It's the same HUD but I was using a friend PC for the first 3 vids. Something with the screen resolution made it crazy big. I think it's cause I use a 28" monitor and his was a 22". So, the settings are the same but it's much more bareable here. Should like the same in the remaining episodes. I think I briefly mentioned something in one of the first episodes about how ridiculously big it is.

Nice explanation of 3b/4b/5b game. But what when we have a villain without notes/noticed showdowns. Is there a way to read ranges based on stats (3b,4b,5b)? Or its more guessing game? If its possible on which specific stats we should be focus and how to compare them?
I hope my question isnt too much fishy.

Dont you think turn bet could be smaller to get that bluff cheaper, like 15-18$ ? I think if he is weak he would fold regardless to 15 or 20...?

I kinda thought the same here as well.

Yeah, that's better.

The main things that you want to look at is how often he 3-bets and folds to 4-bets.

nice video!
18:10--don't you think he would bet 88-77 for hand protection? He wouldn't know what to do if an overcard comes OTR.

I think he should bet 88 vs most people in this spot because everyone bets TT+ in my shoes. His 88 is pretty much the nuts and therefore he should bet and try to put me in a tough spot with my 66 type hands. I think protection isn't that great of an idea because what does he need to protect against that I'm checking?

Hi Threads. Great Vids! Concerning the guy who called the 3 bet w/ JJ, why can you 5 bet him wider? Is it because you feel his 4 bets are either AA, KK, and the majority a bunch of other stuff he'll fold, i.e. suited connectors and small pairs? Thanks!

Exactly. If he only has QQ+/AK in his 4b/call range then he only has 34 combos he'll get in it with. He has a few hundred combos of hands he may 4b/fold. So it's pretty easy to get him folding to a 5b 50%. If he folds that often then we can 3b/5b pretty wide.
