    OtB_RedBaron was an absolute beast. He dominated NLHE highstakes for many of the 2010-years.
    Let's revisit those times and explore one of many areas that made "the Baron" so good.
    Keeping in mind, that we now have solver tools like GTO Wizard and PioSolver, which he didn't initially.
    #poker #highstakespoker #pokerstars
    WHY WERE WE LOOKING AT KANU?
    - Fun fact: Alex was actually one of a few people who got their hands on a private solver which had been developed about a year before PioSolver got released. The other 2 were Trueteller and RaúlGonzalez.

    Worth noting is that Doug Polk described Kanu7 as a very stationy player. Apparently at the time most people in the high stakes pool got there by being overly aggressive and Kanu7 exploited that by bluff-catching more, so perhaps his call could be viewed exploitatively.

    • @ltsjack
      @ltsjack Рік тому +6

      Thing is BB has 54 which wants to shove whatever SB does, BB couples enough 5x and 4x with that to make SB hands like K4, K5 indifferent (since they block both bluffs and value) while a hand like KJo becomes just -EV. Does that make sense?

    • @matta5749
      @matta5749 Рік тому +4

      Yes you are absolutely correct. This is the process the solver is repeating against itself to develop an equilibrium. It can lead to some pretty insane plays like showdown value bluffs where a hand can profitably shove while having less than 50% equity but >0 equity when called. That means it’s profiting by both folding out better hands and getting called by worse hands. This happens when the best bluffcatching hands have low linear value.

    • @2CardConfidence
      @2CardConfidence  Рік тому +10

      Yeah @@ltsjack explained it well - if we look at the SB's calling range OTR, it's basically 3 tiers of hands:
      1. hands that block value with both cards - 2 pairs and sets (sets even beat value) - these are called full frequ. and are +EV
      2. hands that block value, but also bluffs - 4x and 5x hands - mostly frequency calls, so ~0EV
      3. hands that only block value with 1 card or less - pure folds and -EV calls

      You give the impression that you don’t play often. No one “constantly” gets there on the River over a large number of hands. There is skill in getting max value in some occasions in second vs first nuts. Particularly on turns and rivers. In very rare cases does nut flush vs second on the flop. Many players are careful with the nuts and large bet sizes on flop and turn. It’s critical to keep a villain in the pot when having the nuts

    'completely un-capped' would mean they can have KK. which they clearly don't. So the maker of this vid really is quite clueless about GTO.

    Instead of overtalking what the solver would do, it will be nice if you at least show us the hand. Trust me 90% of people here prefere to see the whole hand istead what the solver would do in any line. This solver nerdness is annoying

    This just looks like a fish play. Bet bet hit and shove. Betting with 5 high and rivering the nuts. And also calling preflop with 5 high. In a live game he wouldn't do it out of sheer embarrassment turning those 2 cards over to claim the pot.
