I can't recall where but I read that you should be cbetting more out of position than in position.



This was in the Poker Blueprint and it always confused me.

My only criticism is that 4 episodes devoted to Live play is far too much.



Just to clarify, I thought you meant B&M Live play.. duh.

4 Episodes w/ online play will be great.

Hi Blah,

Sound vid - I found the discussion of how our equity differs facing polarised/depolarised 3 betting ranges using the KJs example particularly enlightening. That wasn't something that had occurred to me beforehand.

40% equity is all you need for direct pot odds because you already have some money in the pot. Of course we don't expect to make much money calling 3 bet with KJs vs 8% range but if you can lose less than 300bb/100 its higher EV than folding.



As regards this, I've read through the subsequent comments ITT, and would the following be the correct way of looking at this concept? I figured I'd hash it out in my own words to just be sure I'd understood.

Assuming we fold 100% of the time when 3 bet, after having opened to 3bbs preflop, then we will lose at a rate of -300bb/100 when we face a 3 bet. To the extent that our bb/100 is less negative when we call or play back, then we are profiting from our calls/4 bets and can be said to be implementing a winning strategy vs. 3 bettors (though of course, there is likely always room for improvement and more +EV opportunities to take advantage of/leaks to plug).

Thanks.

When talking about poor range construction you mention how regulars isolate parts of their range by taking certain lines, and that makes them easy to read. What is an example of what you are talking about here?

This is correct and based on how HEM calculates bb/100.
