Lesson 6 Flashcards
What’s the total amount fallacy?
Talking about how many combos we have, instead of how concentrated those combos are within our range.
For example, if a range has 2 combos of nuts and 1000 combos of air, it’s shit vs a range with 1 nuts one air, despite the first range containing twice as many nuts combos.
If I have the range advantage, does it mean I always want to bet, and when I have a range disadvantage I always want to check?
Nope. It’s true that this will lower or increase my frequency, but on many spots, even having the nuts advantage, I still want to check with my mediocre handes (88 on JT4Q on the turn is a blunder to B75 as pfr), and bet more frequently my nutted hands (JT4T with 44)
What’s the literal nuts fallacy?
thinking that since villian has more or all of the literal nuts, he’s the one who has the nuts advantage.
Nuts advantage is just having a bigger concentration of 85%+ equity hands than my opponent.
What’s the nutsaphobia fallacy?
“Opponent has sets in his range so I check”.
It doesn’t come down to fearing the few combos that are ahead of me. Only 3 combos of sets per card, but to my equity.
The fact that the opponent has some nuts in his range doesn’t mean I can’t bet my hands for value or as a bluff. Don’t fear the worst just because it’s not impossible.
From what components CO vs BB range advantage on JT4r is comprised?
- Unique hands like TT+
- More combinations of top pair and second pair, like QJs that bb 3-bets at some frequency
- Less air hands like 75s
How do i recognize range advantage and nuts advantage in the equity explorer graph?
Range advantage: One graph above the other most for most of the graph
Nuts advantage: One graph above the other for the rightside (better equity hands) part of the graph (even for the real real far right of that graph there are a few dots above the other eg a few combos don’t determine nuts advantage).
When I have a range advantage I get to bet more of my range on the flop. Why?
In general, we bet for value and as a bluff, with denial being a bonus reason.
-Bluffing and denial gain a lot when villain’s range is weak and has to fold more than MDF dictates. Also some of villian’s air hands have live re-draws and it’s useful to deny those.
-I can bet more thinly for value. Weak value hands become stronger vs a weak range.
What’s the relation between nuts advantage and flop bet sizing? What sizings are recommended?
When we have a large nut advantage, since our value hands have a high investment ceiling, I want to bet the flop big (B75).
If I don’t have a large nut advantage, I want to bet the flop small (B33).
What’s the difference between asking “Do I have the nuts advantage” and “Do I have a large nuts advantage”?
a small nuts advantage isn’t sufficient to change my strategy.
Nuts advantage isn’t a toe-to-toe race determined at the finish line. It’s like having 101$ vs $100: It isn’t that much better. Only large differences are relevant.
What do I do on the flop in the following scenarios:
- Small R.A., small N.A.
2.Small R.A. big N.A.
3.big R.A. small N.A.
4.big R.A. big N.A.
1.Bet infrequently and if I do bet, bet small
- Bet infrequently, bet big
3.Bet frequently, bet small
4.Bet frequently, bet big
CO vs BB SRP,
Do I bet the flop with high,med or low frequency, and do I use B33 or B75 on the flop?
KQQr
I have a small N.A. and a big R.A. ->high frequency and small
Indeed, solver bets 91% of the time , 86% of those B33.
CO vs BB SRP,
Do I bet the flop with high,med or low frequency, and do I use B33 or B75 on the flop?
A74r
Small N.A. small R.A -> bet infrequently, bet small
solver bets only 40% of the time, using smaller bet sizing.
CO vs BB SRP,
Do I bet the flop with high,med or low frequency, and do I use B33 or B75 on the flop?
Q99r
small nuts advantage,
ok-ish range advantage ->
small and med-high frequency.
Indeed solver bets 70% of the time and bets small
