hello thanks i really liked the whole 8 episodes (would have liked nl200 but seems it was not the goal)
here are my question for this episode

1’19 why do you call if he shoves, you do not have much equity but still enough for a check?

3’33 K8s you do not know it you should 3bet depolarized or polarized and you want to 3bet K7s?why don't you start with a depolariezed range against lose players?

14 57 why do you 3bet QTo you do not know if he will call worse? is it for Value for Bluff? Even if hes lose preflop we do not know how he reacts to 3bet, Qto seems a little weak for value

15’58 TT JJ are not on his range dor doing it, making you crushed

18’17 you want to 3bet terjepowef depolarized ok, which hands will you 3 bet him?

25’20 you say 99% raise dry board = bluff, why don’t you 3bet as at 15'36

53’29 why is it a good 3bet 5 bet shove spot?

54’07 why do you overbet, don’t you think he will have same calling range whith potsizee or even ¾ pot?

1’05 we're waiting for apex predator 2 next week :=) it would be so great. i really like the format, maybe you could juste be more explicit in videos sessions with therory you developped on therory videos, that would mean in Apex 1 allaways say i cb depolarized because...i 3 bet polarized because...i C/R gutshot because he's polarized etc etc....

really looking forward apex 2 as soon as possible,

thanks have a nice day

I have no idea what you're talking about or which hand you're talking about


3’33 K8s you do not know it you should 3bet depolarized or polarized and you want to 3bet K7s?why don't you start with a depolariezed range against lose players?



Why would we start with a depolarized range vs loose players?


14 57 why do you 3bet QTo you do not know if he will call worse? is it for Value for Bluff? Even if hes lose preflop we do not know how he reacts to 3bet, Qto seems a little weak for value



If you watched my other videos then you will know that I don't 3 bet as a bluff or for value. Only reason I 3 bet is because I think it's the highest EV play.


15’58 TT JJ are not on his range dor doing it, making you crushed



no idea what you're talking about again.


18’17 you want to 3bet terjepowef depolarized ok, which hands will you 3 bet him?



If you don't know how to construct a 3 betting range this series maybe too advanced for you. Depolarized means high card hands.


25’20 you say 99% raise dry board = bluff, why don’t you 3bet as at 15'36



There is more than when facing a bluff


53’29 why is it a good 3bet 5 bet shove spot?



no idea what you're talking about


54’07 why do you overbet, don’t you think he will have same calling range whith potsizee or even ¾ pot?



This i post is too hard to respond too. Please use time stamp links.

Wow, I think this is the serie which have helped me most to understand poker consepts ever. Absolutly in the same class as WoT mathematics series. This is that kind of content which make me pay my DC membership. Thanks for a great serie Blah234!

You asked for suggestions about series, I don't think this is enough for a whole serie, but maybe something for DC SHORTS. How do you easily in a fast way know how much more EV+ a decision is against another. I am like using my timebank a lot and sometimes even time out while I am thinking, and I don't really know how to make the best decision in a fast way. I still only play 3-4 tables.

53’29 why is it a good 3bet 5 bet shove spot?



Hand is @ 53.09 pretty much.

You are 3 handed, have 99 vs a 32/27. Think about why 3bet/5bet jamming will be good vs an aggressive player who isnt fully stacked. Think about ranges and how our hand is vs that. He has also 4bet 29% over 14 samples, meaning he is 4betting a decent amount.

Not to sound a dick, but if you are playing nl100/nl200 and dont know basic hand ranges, then i would re-evaluate your whole poker game. Reading your responses you seem fairly lost with many simples concepts blah talks about in the video.

thx for the work you put in here!!!

Got a question about overbetting for value against regulars. only use it when their hand is face up as really strong or are there times you use it as a nonstandard thin value bet to get herocalled?

thx EJ

it depends on the villain. Often times overbetting for value in spots vs good hand readers where you rep very very narrow value range to get hero called is good. At 100nl mostly just overbet as a bluff or value when their hand is face up. Most players seem to play their hand and the board as suppose to what you're repping.

you say you think players players have a bluff here a very high percentage, but dont you think most villians are CR most FDs if not all on this board?Maybe its cause I play 1/2, but most players I play with rarely have air here, because most of them know they are repping nothing.

How many FD combos are in this range that has an over card to Q? that's assuming he c/r 100% of his FD. The pot is so big he rarely has to fold for our shove to be +EV since we probalby have around 25% equity vs his calling range.

How about just calling when he raises you in the QTo hand? Since your perceived range will look a lot like an overpair he should most likely shut down on the turn with bluffs and you can just take down the pot with a small bet? And if he decides to fire again you can be fairly sure he has a hand (or do you expect SSNL players to expect you to float his raise here often?).
