I have a question about your HUD and what does each shortcut mean. A brief explanation of what does each statistic mean in game would be nice too. Thx in advance!

Super coaching. Don't know how you folded those kings. I would have probably pushed all in. What level Zoom do you play outside coaching?

Hi Patrick,

I was wondering if you'd mind going over a hand from the coaching. BvB you have KK on a board of something like 722 and get min raised and keep min raising until he folds. Are you never worried about getting value owned by 2x and if you believe he is only ever bluffing should be not call after he clicks it back for the 2nd time hoping that he will continue bluffing on later streets?

Couple quick ones:

1.) should you always go broke with KK pre? I hate to say ALWAYS because I don't think it is conducive to good poker but you know what I mean ;)

2.) Holding AK pre with 100bb stack - Is it appropriate to raise fold facing 3bet from ABC nits (5-10% 3bet %)? Assuming I'm correct - At what point % wise do you call/ take another line?

Thanks dude! Be lucky!

Slightly off topic, I saw a vid of yours got released today 4 tabling NL200 zoom and it's for diamond members, however, a vid of 2 tables 200nl zoom previously was for gold status. Is there any logic behind this?

Hi. Really enjoyed your last vid, nice to get a peak at diamond level lol. Started out on fast fold on Party. Running at 25bb per 100 for 2k hands (thanks to the coaching). My question, from a BR point of view should you "rate hole" your money when you get over one BI? Also do you increase your BI as your BR grows? Currently buying in for the min.

Hello!

Could you share your SB and BB EV winrate in bb over the sample you showed in your graph (last video you made).

Apreciate it!

You're opening wayyyy too loose UTG and wayyyyy too tight later, in general, desired stats would be around 24/20.

I would suggest trying to use the following ranges

UTG - 55+ j10s+ aq+
MP = 78s+ kq+ aj+ a10s+ a2-a5s
CO = 45s+ 89o+ k7s+, q7s+ j7s+ a2s+ a2-a5 a8+ 22+
btn = anything suited, q5o+ anything remotely playable.

Remember, playing in position is so important so the later we are the wider we can open, it is totally fine if the sb flats wide if we have k7s we can play really well post flop.

1) Absolutely, opening k5s vs a nitty button will be fine too a lot of the time
2) We can 4bet hands like k8s, Q9o, a7o, if they 3bet alot we can defend kq, jq as they will be depolarized meaning they will be 3betting hands such as j9s so we will be dominating a good % of their range, + we have position.

Basically we should choose the best hands we would fold as our 4bet bluff hands as usually they will have blockers and if called we have a better hand than a random bad hand we decided to open. Generally people will fold/5b so blockers become very important so that combinatorially we 5b less over our 4bet bluff.

Hi,
The above ranges is for FR or SH.
What do you mean by "anything remotely playable"?
Thanks.

I often don't know what to do when I get a hand like AK, QQ or JJ in the blinds and I face an UTG or MP open. I don't know if I mostly should 3bet for value because they're ip and will therefor still call with worse hands or do I only isolate myself against a stronger range? I know this is very player dependent so i'd like to know how to approach these situations vs fish, regulars and unknown. I currently play nl5

I assume you are playing SH.
Versus regular who open around 9-13% UTG I'm 3b 90% of the time.
but it's not always for value, depend on his 4 bet range (sometimes we can only estimated due to small sample).

I rarely call because calling will often put us on though spot postflop. I dont want to play OOP vs people who also have initiative and have tight range.
