Uri - Blueprint - working with solver [Range mechanics / heuristics]
https://members.upswingpoker.com/courses/drills-preflop-ranges/lessons/drilling-with-lucid-poker/
somehow skipped this vid
>> some key nuggets / heuristics:
3:00 timestamp : how close in EV lot of the post-flop actions run (!)
** EV loss is so tiny - any other factor (dynamics / image / player you feel (or not feel) comfortable playing against) easily outweighs it
6:20 timestamp : framework for post-flop decisions that run close / similar EV
11:30 timestamp - KK in BU v BB SRP: 2nd FD coming in on the turn - now there will be 2x more flushes on the river >> our hand wants a smaller pot
13:20 timestamp : river decision-making framework based on how "tricky | straightwfd" is our opponent
vs UTG / tight opens:
- the reason why A9o, KTo, QTo are folding and hands likes 74s are calling - these are "pot odds calls"
- they can improve vs UTG open range, while hands like KTo are often dominated
- we want hands that can make str8s, flushes, trips
as we face looser opens - our suited region doesn't change much, but we start adding more offsuit Ax, and offsuit broadways
BB vs SB
- plus offsuit trashy hands = bluffing with our calling range once the calling range becomes very wide, we get to make these wide bluffs, avoiding the middle range

new vid - 50nl crush
< link >
like this dude's style - in a similar camp as Pr0digy:
big theme:
- playing with intensity - trying to soak up every little piece of info we can pick up at the table (SS players give off a lot - they're not deceptive / balanced enough)
- fishing for reads:
induce them to give off info by : small bets, checks, ..
- timing tells (betting small on a low wet board, watching if he snap-calls)
- should have everyone colour coded playing in these games, notes on timing tells, etc
- watch your customers intently (interesting hands you're not involved in etc.) the more you do itm the better you become at it, start noticing patterns etc.
heuristics: "the lower the stakes, the more you can deviate from the "story" and "abuse" (e.g. this play, even at 3k nl vs unknown where he bluff shoves the brickiest river) - he seems to not care much about the "story" vs recs
calls 2 small bets ip, then shoves river for 1x pot when checked to.. (NOT strong story / OK runout & blockers)
timing & bet size manipulation exploit
and here / cool hand & explain /
** cbet small on low dynamic board - if he snap calls - not too many strong hands - we can run multi street bluff **
widening PF 3bet range IP vs high VPIP (consider SPR (stack / open size)
uses 50% raise pf for 3bet sizing
"sometimes you need to care less about how good your story is, and more about how much you can bully them into folding"
sometimes = "the snap-check was not built to face more than 2x the pot, when the board pairs"

How to adjust to/exploit Range bettors [Uri]
https://youtu.be/L3pp75u1I90?si=inaGjcI8JCvUC_1d
#1 call wider
#2 check / raise more
#3 probe river more aggressively

Uri nuggets: Couple adjustments to our mid-low stakes STRAT to integrate
Integrate:
this would be a good turn raise vs guys who are not aware of theory - and just bet their medium strength hands with this middling size on the turn
they’re often bet /folding to pressure
as played villain’s raise size doesn’t feel big enough for a hand that wants to stack-off (33, 54s)
“the more you feel free to attack these sorts of spots, the more you’ll get a feeling for when ppl have it and when they don’t”
nugget: here I like checking back our TP - it’s like the opposite of low-mid stakes meta game, where ppl bet all their good hands.. having TP in our check-back range is very deceptive and as such opponents are more likely to make bigger mistakes compared to if i were to just stab the hand
just going to shove here w 25BB in the pot already. (got called by KTo !!)
nugget: the adjustment to someone who is too loose preflop is - adjust your 3bet range - no bluffs & wider for value

Uri: colour coding for quick pre-flop decisions / player types
i have one colour for
- tight,
- 1 for fish,
- 1 for whale,
- one for normal reg,
- one for aggro reg
= 5 colours overall
