Love these videos. This solver is too complex for me to understand on my own, videos like this learn me how to use it and encourage me to buy another month of subscription. Those aggregated reports are a little hard for me to understand yet, but I'm learning. thank you for your amazing work!

[pokerinfobot]

please upload regularly poker giraffe. i think you are one of the best at explaining the technical side of GTO, something that many get lost in when trying to learn solvers. you break everything down to a very simple level, awesome stuff

Such a rediculous amount of value in these videos

[iFoldJacks]

Thks for the gr8 insight QY, as usual gr8 content, , and helped me to plug some leaks, will implement into my gameplay going fwd!

I have a really difficult time understanding these videos. Partly due to the narrator’s accent and speech rate, but also due to the complexity of the material (I’m a gto noob). It would be great if there were a supplemental text with each video. I think I would learn a lot more this way and be much more inclined to buy the service. Because as of now, it seems very overwhelming to me, and I find myself avoiding it. Thank you all for all of your hard work. It’s very clear how much effort you put into releasing such high quality content.

I watched mechanisms of C-Betting and they talked about the dry to wet to really wet board parabola. How are we reconciling that analysis with this first board 752r that seems very dry. Is it because of the of the middle of our range is so bad? and that is prioritized over the "dryness" of this board?

[NoLongerGrilling]

Hey, any idea why Solver is folding AQs almost pure in OOP’s shoes vs a smaller b75 as opposed to b125 around 32:50 ?

[atultanajimohite]

I had a question. Your analysis here contradicts to the one of the GTO wizard tutorials on "Where does the EV come from?". Essentially in there one needed to size up your bet if the opponent is calling your bet more due to the higher equity hands in their range. Here I think you are saying exactly opposite, if the opponent has hands with a higher equity you are asking to size down. Is it by any chance related to the wideness of the ranges?

Really nice lecture given!
I have a question about the flop cbetting sizes on tt and rainbow board.
In another video, you mentioned in a low SPR pot, we tend to fast play and bet big with our vulnerable good hands. However, in this video you said because the potential flush draws of our opponents decrease the equity of our over pairs and hence we need to size down our cbets. How do we balance the two arguments?

[iohenkies]

Hi, question regarding the third point. I’ve picked up on more than one place that betting the middle of your range on the turn is a polarization error. Betting KT on the AKx board seems that this does exactly that. Is this ‘polarization error theorem’ faulty? Is KT on that board not the middle of your range? Or what am I misunderstanding? 😊

[bot-iplu]

25'04 why JJ is cbetting as frequently(and maybe a little moren, can't see exactly) as AA here?
Shouldn't JJ Cbetting less than AA?

[sharkyjawz]

752tt our ranges EQ is a bit more merged (compared to out oP) too... As an attributing factor to oP having slightly less EQ than on 752r

[RobinRoux-gk]

Hello, just a question about sizing down when the board is two tone on 752. As long as the population don't ever fold an overpair or top pair on this flop for a 3/4 cbet, I assume it's better to go for it instead of sizing down ?

[kaaristotelancien]

is it correct to argue that on two ton flop, an other reason why hands like 99 fold more against strong size is because FD are enough in proportion to accomplish the MDF ?

[blackopal]

On the 752, if its 2 tone, it has less equity than rainbow, sure, true. How does that indicate a smaller bet though? I get the equity math, but every unit of equity you lower your bet, is adding a unit of equity to your opponents hand. I mean, you're directly increasing villains pot odds every hand there is a draw out there. It would seem to play the opposite in reality, and you increase your bet when there are more draws, and lower it, for value, when it's a draw dead board.

[bot-iplu]

22'17"even tho technically agaisngt a static gto opponent, it's not really a serious error, ultimately aces indifferent to bet and check, TT and 99 are indiferent to bet and check"
Don't understand why you said that.Solver bet a lot AA and really less TT and 99.
Is both betting and checking the same ev at the equlibrium?
OK I guess this is it and this is why you said"agaisnt a STATIC gto", ie oppononent wont change his strategu even if you start check AA 100%

3tips show one core concept: 3bet pot is natural polarizey

[modeob]

About:

#1) What is a "low" board ? Seven or low?

#3) Whe you say turning 1P into a bluff, you are implying that we shove OTR after barreling OTT?
