📜 Video Description 📜
It is very easy to fold too often in the big blind when you play 6-max No Limit Holdem poker because your range is wide and weak and you're very often supposed to defend or even check/raise some unappealing looking combos on the flop. In modern day poker, players are range-betting a lot of flops and using small continuation bets as a matter of principle so it's important that we learn how to fight back and this instructive cash game poker video will show you how to do just that. - Ігри
A common exploit I find works at the micros is check/raising wider on the flop as the BB against LJ-CO opens when the flop is all low/disconnected. Often players will bet almost range, then fold everything except their pairs, meaning your bluffs print. You do need to give up a lot more on the turn though, since you are exploitatively raising more often against a near range-bet and when you are called chances are they have something pretty decent.
I agree. I do this a lot. Almost auto check raise. People don't know what to do with that.
Love the intro. Great content Pete. Thx
Love the midtro Pete!
Love the new outro Pete. You’re the man!
This is a brilliant video. I think this convinced me to sign up for carrot corner
That was an awesome lesson, bro.
Putting out a lot of good content lately 👌
5d4d5s hand: 35% CR w/ 75% pot raise size vs range cbet, 41% call, 24% fold. Pretty much a mix of all calling hands are raising -- aside from strong no pairs like AQo-ATo and KQo, but most offsuit stuff has a backdoor flush draw, IE: QdJc raises QcJh folds.
Thanks! Is that when you node lock IP player to cbet at full frequency? Or at the given betting frequency in the sim?
I am not gay, but you are more attractive in this video than usually Pete.
I am not saying that anything you said in this video is incorrect,
I just want to show you where I am coming from as a weak/tight BB punchbag (should that not be punching bag? probably depends on where you live)
first - I often think "if I fold this fairly weak hand to the 2.5x, I lose 1BB. If I call, I will likely an additional 1.5BB playing a weak hand OOP"
next - when I do continue, suppose I follow along here, raise my 7d5d in the A94 (one diamond) board.
what am I supposed to do when BTN calls, and the flop does not give me any equity?
give up having now put even more money into the pot?
keep blasting & pray while wondering why I didn't just fold to the 2.5BB ?
most videos never really give a strong impression of how I follow up my flop check raise.
I am guessing "blast away if the right cards/texture comes"
EDIT - yeah, I clicked "post" too soon" we shall see where the heat map goes.
I do not have a high comfort level playing OOP with no hand.
if that makes me a "bad player", I am fine with that.
I am trying to work on it I have tried a few of these type plays w/ varying results, but I am not sure I am REALLY understanding the overall strategy, let alone following it.
thanks.
Your first thought is already a mistake. You shouldn't just think "'l'll likely lose an additional 1.5BB playing a weak hand OOP," what you should be thinking is "I'm getting 2.66:1 on a call and only have to win the hand about 1/4 of the time to break even," and hopefully you should also be thinking "I have a skill edge on my opponents and can punish their mistakes (like range betting boards they shouldn't be)." Whenever you call because the pot odds are good you do so knowing you'll lose most of the time, because you only have to win a small portion of the time to make up for those losses. That's how odds fundamentally work. If I'm given 100:1 on a 50:1 shot, I'll make money despite the fact that I'll only win once for every 50 losses.
As for your next, I'm guessing you mean "what am I supposed to do when the BTN calls and the TURN does not increase your equity?" In that case you simply check/fold a lot. Again, your thoughts are based around trying to avoid all the bad possible outcomes. You can't win at poker thinking like that. Yes, sometimes you will raise and the turn will be bad for you range, and you will give up. Sometimes you'll raise and win the pot right there. Sometimes you'll raise and bink trips/two pair, or turn a strong draw. All of these things can happen; some are good, some bad. You can't base your strategy around wanting to avoid the bad possibilities. Also, depending on your opponent/player pull, you can potentially keep blasting if they're overly tight and will likely even fold Ax. There are absolutely players you can just run over like this, and in which you can just be playing with rags because of how imbalanced they are.
In reality, bluffing like this is far easier most of the time than playing stuff like second pair or third pair. At least with bluffing you know exactly where you are in the hand, while with stuff like second pair it's often not clear what your equity is and how much odds you need in order to make calling +EV.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 I appreciate the time & effort you put in to making your reply.
I will have to review how I am actually playing the position, which may be slightly better than I feel about it.
or, perhaps I should say that my results may be slightly better than I think they are when I defend.
I definitely suffer from the common human reaction of remembering the pain of losing far deeper/longer than the joy of winning.
There are some players in my (micro) pool that can be run over (including me, sometimes) and others that will cheerfully play for stacks every hand until they sit out.
The 2nd group I have made decent money from by making some kind of hand (well below the nuts and hanging on for dear life while they blast away with air.
of course, when they flop a set and I have "something", I'm getting stacked, lol. them's the breaks.
but in general, yes - I need to think better and play better.
Regarding hotness vs heatmap. For the first year the feature was simply called "Runouts EV comparison" and then at some random afternoon I have added "(Hotness)" there as a part of some bigger UI changes. Not being a native speaker I have no clue why I thought that Hotness is a better word than heatmap. I haven't given it a second thought through all these years. I have described the feature to the LLM and it replied that the best name for the feature is "Turn Card Heatmap". I will change the name in a program to Heatmap
My summary here:
"True EV" of the 75dd X-R vs Btn (especially aggressive ones) is truly realised when
1. We correctly identify turn & river "hotness" and play our mid-equity hands as aggressor over 3 streets & getting folds by the river by better(?) hands.
AND
2. We correctly identify turn & river hotness & play our improved/nutted hands equally well over 3 streets & getting called by worse hands on the river.
We torch our EV in case we
1. continue aggression and value own ourselves on neutral/"cold" turns/rivers.
2. miss value due to "neutral" turn and good river card = not enabling us to get good value.
3. over-valuing our flopped 2pair strength hands, which actually unblock a lot of OESD/GSSD/flopped straights for Btn (since they have a wide range to begin with) and our X-R + tripple barell is going to value own us.

I guesstimate, these nodes are considerably overfolded by IP players to actually make enough bb/100.
Please share your thoughts.
The no cost, instructional content of a Lion!
Thanks, Pete. I became a better player after watching this.
While I’ll admit my BB strategy is understudied, thankfully the live 1/3 game I played in chops blinds every single time
What does it mean to chop blinds? I've been a pro for 8 years and never heard of it. I don't play live though.
I be callibg people bro I didnt know that cane off aggressive
Bro, too much chatgpt, even the end song is AI 😂
bro, allinman7s picture wtf @17:58
Bro...
why do AI images allways make 6 fingers on people? lol
I love your perspective on the game and usually agree with you, but I disagree with how you criticize those who bet the entire range on boards where they shouldn't, suggesting it's a weaker player's move.
My argument is: bad regulars could do this for sure, but also good players could do this because they know most people don't react correctly. So, it's not true that those betting the entire range on boards where they shouldn't are necessarily for weaker players; some of them could might be stronger than you (no offense) but aren't "ashamed" to use a strategy that exploits most players in real life.
Good regulars like you will punish them, but what percentage of the pool are good regulars like you? Also, if the player is good, they can understand they're being exploited and counter with other strategies.
I'm commenting because you talk about true EV, but when you talk to range bet, you seem to focus too much on theory, forgetting that true EV also applies to range betting in situations where we shouldn't.
I don't disagree with you and I doubt Pete would either. He's only pointing out that range betting is, indeed, a mistake in theory and good players (which hopefully includes us) should be punishing that. Plus, range betting on some boards is a bigger mistake than others. Anyone range betting on low connected flops is just asking for trouble.
@@jonathanhenderson9422 1) I agree that good players should recognize how to counter-exploit range betting. Pete talks about this and I agree. However, my point is: in this video and others, he suggests that the player betting the entire range necessarily is a weaker regular. This is not necessarily true: some weaker regulars do play like this, but some excellent regulars (even better than Pete) also do it exploitatively and know how to handle counter-exploits. They just aren't ashamed to do something simple and be judged.
2) If you bet your entire range in spots you shouldn't, sometimes the villain should fold 10% and check-raise 40%+, for example. But if they fold 15% and check-raise 25% in real life, are you really in trouble? Betting the entire range on boards where you shouldn't is often a stronger exploit than on boards where you can simplify to a range bet. We're talking about exploit, not theoretical simplification.
Anyway, I like Pete, I'm not a troll or a hater, but I really think he's missing the point on this subject.
@@ghjk5827 I don't disagree with your points. I think it's entirely possible plenty of strong regs have simplified their strategy to range betting because they don't get exploited enough and it actually exploits players who tend to over-fold and under-raise such bets.
@@ghjk5827there are plenty of times I have range bet on a board I shouldn't because good players will xr a lot.
Get them to build a pot for me, like donking 1 bb.
