Uri fires up solver and shows practical most effective way to "study"

Absolute fire, the post discussion too (see below the screenshot)

• be more (spot) structure oriented - think of the things more structurally (rather than looking at freq.)
• hone in on principles that govern huge shifts in strategy
• range v range interactions
• look at the EQ buckets (!)
• solver giving up w the worst hands
• wants to bet the most with TT-KK
• traps with weaker trips
• mixture of defence & offence.. is one of them more important vs my opponent?
• let's say he's passive -> don't need to bet my AK medium hands (he'll let me see the river), and should bet all my value hands aggressively
• if he's aggro then we want the opposite
• bad card / good card - just look at how the Equity number changes (!)

Structures... ev buckets is just one way to visualize it

but i'm more in the camp of - this is a very aggro card for me, i'm gonna look to bluff these handtypes, and then look and see if that is actually what happens

or i'm out of position in a very polar spot, i'm gonna have almost no slowplays and mostly giveup when i check, randomise low amount of slowplays and checkfold with my air

... each node in poker has a shape .. so i'm very focused on the type of node and the shape of it:

• flush comes in what happens?
• straight comes in what happens?
• board pairs what happens?

and the answer is not in frequencies of flushdraws barreling but more big-picture general: "barrel these handtypes, switch this one for that one, up frequency, lower sizing" etc.

specific example - questions to ask yourself:

BU v BB, cbet flop, turn middle card pairs:

what's my value range, what sizing I want to use?

what are my bluffs 

opponent - weakest hand he's calling

any slowplays?
