    @pokercoaching. Thank you for this video. Extremely helpful, especially with the solver analysis. I would be very interested to see a similar video but from a pure exploit perspective. As you mentioned in video, you must deviate from this when opponents do not follow GTO. In lower stakes games below 5-10, the lack of proper three and four bet ranges is a defining factor. You mentioned this is prior videos. It seems that players who recognize and adjust to this have a TREMENDOUS low stakes exploit. I had thought that was going to be what this instant video was about. Players are so used to bet, call,call in low stakes that they reflexively believe bet followed by three bet is a value raise. And absolutely a four bet is seen that way. This allows a player to exploit by having “last bet” of three bet ala Gus Hansen of mid 2000s being aggressive when the style was still very tight. And then if anyone gives resistance, you can weight towards value. I appreciate this is NOT GTO and better players will exploit but the general fear of a three bet appears to be a defining characteristic of the low level player. I think the root of it is a fear of putting in four bet when player is overly three betting.

    In low-stakes games, average/bad regs will usually not 4-bet AK, so leave those hands in your opponent’s range if he calls your 3-bet.

    Ordered the new book from B&N. Enjoy your videos. You advocate studying. Would you suggest that range advantage be a major area of study for someone just getting back into NLH?
  • @boludoescoces
    I've long had it my head that on the SB facing a Button raise, I should either fold or 3-bet, never flat. Interesting to see those flatting hands (60BB deep), like K2s or Q5s. I've definitely been missing out. Cheers Jonny, and good luck with PGo run, love watchin' ya :)

    folded pocket queens to a 4 bet the other day in 2/5 (i was UTG, opened to $25, MP raised to $100, Small Blind Raised to $250, I folded - MP called. Hand ended after the a big bet from SB on flop. Am I fish... all players had about $800-$1.3K in their stack.
