Hey Ariel, i’m 0Human0. I didn’t have a decucescracked account before this , is the first time i see some of your videos, i must say they are very very good . As for the game i have some questions , u said i was like inline postflop , dont bluff to much ;my strategy postflop vs a v good oponent was this : i rarely bluff in small pots , which are most of the pots(and where ppl tent to bluff more ofen) , creating a ninty image , and i make big moves in big pots when most ppl have it , so i get folds becouse of my fals ninty image and the fact that most ppl dont bluff in that spot ( like in minute 20 when u wondered what i had when u had 63 and bet call flop , and bet fold turn , i had a bluff , and i was shoving most rivers becouse i was expecting a lot of calls on turn ; and there are a couple of bluffs in video 1 in big pots when most ppl have it also) What do u think about this?
Other question : Vs a guy that has a big 3b and plays well postflop too , i am thinking about a strategy like this : i never 4b , i only shove (all of this when we are 100BB deep or like maximum 130BB) or call his 3b; so we work on a profitable shoving range ( small pairs Axo etc hands that play v bad in 3b pots 100bb and have a decent Eq agains his caling range), and then we work on our calling range( broadways , suited con etc hands that play well)and we balance this range by slowplayng the monsters ; of course we shove some mosters too , when we think is the moment for him in the match to have a hand too .I thinnk these combats his big 3b well , becouse of u open light u realy dont have what to do , u must fold fold fold to his 3b , becouse if his good he finds good spots to shove over your 4b, to play well agains a calling range that rarely have monsters etc etc .What do you think?Sry for my bad english , Gl man , keep up the good work!

Hey man, welcome to the forums. Glad to hear your feedback. The strategy of not bluffing in the small pots to get an image to bluff in the big pots is misguided in my opinion simply because there are so many small pots to be won and picking those up in heads-up is a huge component of one’s winrate. Furthermore, I don’t think that nittiness in small pots significantly increases your fold equity in big pots: the 36 hand you mention I’d have folded to just about everybody. While you’re right that there are obviously going to be some obvious bluff spots that you get folds whereas someone like me gets calls, I simply think that not fighting for all those 4-6 BB pots can’t possibly be made up for by increased fold equity in big pots

As for the 4betting strategy, I think that a min-4bet/call/fold strategy is way better than a jamming strategy. For one, the profitability of a jam is rarely going to be there with the vast majority of your opening range unless your opponent is psycho: you may want to double check this but I ran some numbers a couple months back and with A6o against a calling range of 77+, AT+ the opponent needs to be 3betting ~32% for a jam to be profitable. Obviously calling ranges are dynamic and change and all that, but the point is that jamming Ax 100BBs deep is almost always going to be spew. I think that if jamming is your only option then you have to fold way more than if you put in the more cost-effective 4bet bluff, which you can start utilizing more often. Sure, a good opponent may 5bet bluff you a lot, but a lot of good things happen when you 4bet less than all-in(you can start inducing w/hands that jamming would allow your opponent to play perfectly against, they can start peeling and playing fit/fold against your 4betting range, they can decide that you’re getting out of line but they don’t want to stack off too light so they start 3betting less, etc.)

Thanks for the questions and thanks for agreeing to do this match
