Easy Game Volume II - Part VI
Chapter XXXI/ The Squeeze
Squeeze only with strong hand if passif are involved.
As the Raiser: Response: value certain hands more highly if IP. Ex: call QJs, 77 in squeeze spot, as vilain range is wider.
As the Caller: On table with a lot of squeeze, calling AA increase, calling with 65s decrease.
As the Squeezer: Approximate opponents ranges.
When we call IP, a lot of player will Cbet almost 100%. As his range is wide and he CBet almost 100%, we will have to both Raise and Call lightly.
If squeezer is good player that doesn't Cbet too much, we can still call and play more standard postflop.
Light squeeze happen less often than you think, if a passif is involved it's probably a squeeze for value.

Chapter XXXIV/ Advanced Heads Up Play
Leading: Why: #1 Opponent xBack lots of flop (Polarized Cbet) #2 Opponent will fold way too often (EV++ if vilain open 90+% BTN). First lead with TP, Strong draw, when he gets owned a couple of time, lead wider range of hands not good enough to xC ou xR (Gutters, weak bottom Pairs, Air with one over).
Playing Chicken: Figure out how your opponent thinks.
Adjusting play based on being up or down, and stack sizes:
Advanced Heads Up Section
Facing aggressive 3-bettor:
#1 Raise less, call 3bets with hands that make good pairs and play flop well (if he doesn't adjust he will dump a lot of money in big pots)
#2 4-betting if we think his range his un-polarized (KQ, QJ, AT..), he can't push or call OOP those hands.
#3 Limping-minR
Chapter XXXV/ The Theory of Donking
Not applicable to nano limite.
From a bad player:
Facing a small donk: Raise them all. (It's cheap raise small bet = small raise and it represent weak hands)
Facing a pot-size donk: Call when you have equity hand and take a note.
The Spazz Factor: Idea that when a good thinking player faces a donk, his inclination will be to raise the flop donk with any two cards. So vs good thinking player: Donk/Call, let opponent bluff on other streets.
Chapter XXXVI/ The Diminishing Medium Value Category DMVC
Medium value hands: Can't be raised for value but too strong to fold.
Scenario: 100bb Raise Co AQ/TT, Btn goodReg 3betting regulary but not out of line. Push.
Problems: #1 We will not be able to fold out better with a reraise. So bluffing is out of the question. #2 Unlikely to be call by worst hand.
There is few medium hands here AQ,AJ,99-JJ.
Two options: #1 Strengthen and widen 3bet calling range OOP: Flatting with AA/KK and worst hand KQs, ATs, so lot's of OOP plays in big pots.
#2 Most player solution: Eliminate medium value range, 4bet with premium or low range.
If there is enough dead money in the pot (Vilain fold often to 4-bet) 4bet AQ/TT= thin value. Same thinking 4bet A6s = Thin bluff.
Chapter XXXVII/ 4-betting and Depth OOP
200bb+:
Players are likely to flat 4bets
Players are likely to call 3bets OOP
Players are likely to 3bet with wider ranges
4bet for value more thinly (AQ, JJ AJ, KQ TT), 4bet size should be larger
Take advantage of wider ranges by playing OOP
QJs, A3s, ATs, KQo can flat 3-bets OOP (like you call a raise from the blinds), play FDraw aggressively.
