Auto-profit bluff formations is a super sick concept - the last bonus stat is pretty mind blowing how much it prints vs an overfold - I can see myself getting in a lot of trouble vs raises without understanding how to navigate that node
I found that in a lot of instances... Don't bluff idiots. When they have a pair, they call. The board could be 4 to a straight and a flush, and they still call down with 2nd pair.
One of the main reasons people struggle at lower and mid stakes is their preflop game as well. They call too often OOP as you pointed out, they dont defend the big blind correctly and definitely dont 3bet enough from the big blind either. They dont respect position enough and they are probably opening too few hands from good positions. Like the opening range from the button is super wide but I feel many players still make massive preflop mistakes, even high stakes players.
No h2note compares it to folding at 0bb, not the same way hem calculates it. I had to check it multiple times to make sure it wasn't the case here but in hem they were losing 2.8bb compared to folding -2.2bb.
OOP block bet bluff has been part of my strategy for quite a while. The funniest thing to me is when it ends up being a value bet and not a bluff. Also Check jam, is the one that makes me laugh the hardest. Check, opponent bets, jam, they usually call the all in as well, which makes it so much funnier.
hey, alvin! first of all, thanks for all the great content! And what about calling 3bets IN position with pocket pairs and suited connectors? they're all mixed 0EV calls in GTO. But in reality, is it worth calling? is it better than folding? do you have that data? thanks 😊
Hey, Alvin! first of all, thanks for all the great content! You said that one should 3bet and steal more than the population. Let's assume that the population is currently using rfi GTOwizard, so as you said rfi co 29% rfi btn 42% minimum. On zoom, isn't it better to just narrow these ranges a bit so that you don't play hands that have an ev of 0.01 bb/100, but instead fold those hands and save time and additionally have the chance to play the next hand immediately with cards that have a much better ev? I mean have better bb per hour than bb per 100...

I agree with your strategy while playing 6-max cash. However, while playing tourneys, it could be more profitable to flat some of your stronger starting hannds especially if a weaker player is opening (in the early stages), assumig it´s not a bounty tourney.

Are you having a Black Friday sale?
Very good video, thanks! I have done similar videos but yours explains this very well!
Your videos have been on fire lately!
Thank you! Trying to get into the production habit as much as possible
Nice video. About calling 3b OOP: what about if we play a 4b/fold strategy, then? Even from CO and SB. Then we cbet range 1/3 and auto profit.
I found me a spot to improve in. Stealing.........🔥
Should I just bluff more multiway? My wwsf is low at 41% at 25nl ignition reg tables but so many pots go multiway I’m conflicted
absolutely bluff more multiway on turns and river but not much on flop
Hello! Thx for video!
What do you think about the rake on GGPoker's Rush tables? Is our strategy without cold calls and frequent 4bet relevant?
Yeah definitely extra true on GG
I'm going to use this to crush live 1/2nl!!
Great video Alvin!
if I call a
3bet OOP with a low suited connector this data says it's loosing -1.21 but isn't that still better than folding? (-2 or 2.5bb)
No h2note compares it to folding at 0bb, not the same way hem calculates it. I had to check it multiple times to make sure it wasn't the case here but in hem they were losing 2.8bb compared to folding -2.2bb.

OMG!!! Master Jedi what more do I need to say!!! thank you once again for all you do to enlighten me!!!
Oh staaaaph
the solver also folds at frequencies that give the aggressor auto profit betting, why doesn't the solver bet any2 in these spots?
Because it finds more ev with some hands by checking back and letting villain bluff!

At high stakes it is barely winning but at lower stakes it isn't. Rake!

That's assuming those hands are breakeven against tough opponents. If you have edge postflop all those neutral hands are at least +.3

Imagine what a player equipped with today's knowledge could accomplish against circa 2001 poker players
Imagine what players today could do with the information hidden in solvers that they don't use
@@AlvinTeachesPoker true but the marginal value of solver info today is much lower than it would have been back then - at least for the modal player
You missed the point. We always live in the Era of crushing information and simply choose not to act on it. 👉

@G0DofRock it's the limit where people need to take poker semi seriously to make it to the next level
Isn’t that just how the xc/x/b line is supposed to function? That river bet is almost always auto-profitable in a solver.
You know my channel is pointing out the function bets in solvers, right. :D

I'm only talking about cash, MTTs I think flatting very strong versus EP open is very good.
But when I don't fold and call, it's just nuts.
Well you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them
know everything that u said.
still 32bi under ev second month.
u can do nothing when your blue line down every session and u lose to 63o in 3bet spots as aggressor.
zero skill game, really.
What limit and room is this?

Definitely seen much worse
i play every hand almost and only fold when reraised for the most part

@pokerstudy6862 this is very often it
