Also would you say 2/4 is the same as it was when u made this video?



No idea, I haven't played since I made it. But I'd assume its similar unless everyone's watched my series and gotten more aggro Smile

I posted a hand that I bet with small PP because I thought he had overs and some of the players said this is an ok line and they do it. Do you think shouldn't be better those small PP on dryish boards after a line similar to the one you took here.( bet flop check turn) how about if it is like a Q92r and turn brings a T? and I have 77

Sorry for asking to many questions but if the river in this spot where you have 97s is like a Tc are you c/f bc you think most of his hand range here is draws and they hit or do you want to shove to get him off of TP hands? So I guess the question is do you think is calling range here is more draws or TP hands that he will fold to a river shove?

Yea I rarely bet small-mid pp's in position after floating, simply because I don't expect my opponent to call worse or fold better, and it opens me up to getting c/r-ed or something gross like that.

I'd just c/f on a Tc, theres no way I'm good there and I doubt he's folding much with that price.

DJ Sensei,

What program are you using to show the data about this player. PT or HEM? If it is HEM how did you get it to show you all the players? If this is PT then you don't know what the hell i'm talking about.

Thanks.

HEM! And if by "all the players" you mean "all the positions", its a custom report for FR games that I picked up off the HEM forums. Search over there for fullring report and you should find it.

Breakeven fold equity here is 52.8% ( 132/(132+118) ).

Since we get villain to fold by representing AA/KK/QQ with the CR, how would you recommend we actually play these big pairs on the turn?

Standard bigpair line is probably betfold turn, barrel most rivers if called. Against an aggro dude who also tends to call too much, c/r turn is nice.

About playing against the super nit. Since he is folding 80-100% of his late opens to 3bet.



Dj is there a chance you could go back to the super nit stats you presented? I have a few questions...

1. With only 460 or so hands, and his raise first in % so low, how many times did anyone actually 3 bet him? Hard to tell just from the stats.

2. If the table is paying attention, knowing how tight he is, they will rarely attempt to bluff his strong range, right? So wouldn't his folding a lot make sense in a twisted sort of way?

Great series!

Well, tough to say, but we can certainly increase that sample size by repeatedly punishing him Smile

Sure, at first. But it can become a leveling battle quickly once people realize that he's folding to their 3bets and open up their ranges. Then he should adjust to not fold, and they should re-adjust to not 3bet so light. Etc, etc. until everyones ranges are properly balanced! In reality, most very-tight players aren't going to get into sophisticated mind games with you; the whole point of their strategy is to play a small range of strong hands and hope everyone else is too loose and pays them off. Not a lot of difficult/marginal decisions involved.
