Lab 2.o - Uri - live webinar: 7 Ways to Exploit Poker Players

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRC3tjWZ8H8

Note taking 

'getting used to the process of recognising mistakes, and then adjusting to them. and doing so with confidence, with preparation, where you play the hand, you see the SD and you're like: OK, this is the note i'm taking, these are the adjustments i'm making.'

1. Passive in small pots (doesn't fight for it)

.. how drastically you can adjust your range once you spot this leak... (defending in BB vs someone not fighting for small pots).. potentially any 2 cards.. however, if he sees you doing that he might change his strat.. so doing it with "reasonable looking hands" (most suited stuff looks ok)

insanely printing lines .. guy is not gonna call vs overbet in this small pot - he's not interested ..  whenever he checks back you hit him with 2x pot with no equity

.. be creative with how far you want to push it, experiment 

2. Calling station in big pots. doesn't know theory?

- there is a ton of stuff you can do and extrapolate when you see that (i.e. he's not very good player, will be missing a lot of lines, bet sizes, will have a lot of the classic leaks)

3. Calls c-bets too wide

• cbet wider, blast turn with bluffs into his wide range
• get into a lot of pots with him

4. Doesn't know how to bet size / bet size = hand strength

• in order to exploit you need to know theory

 calling low PP vs 3bet ip, 100bb deep 

-> 0 EV ish play, changes if we have an edge on opponent. 

- calling 33 in BU v BB 3bet, flop comes KT8r - fine to float vs B33, with the intention of bluffing when checked to. (not trying to show down 33). 

- no interaction with the board, doesn't block his folding range - 99, JJ, AJ,,

Uri - "Why GTO Needs Exploits" (new interview)

my first breakthrough as a player came, when i realised i can just mess with ppl - on certain boards, i could tell a story that would make all of your range bluff-catchers. 

.. capped range. 2012 if someone had a capped range and you put your stack in, he'd just fold.

it got so extreme - for ex: UTG opened, I flat BU, board came 558  (ppl were not opening 65s, 54s) - i was in a frame of mind of "am calling your first two bets and shoving over your third one, and you're never calling me with anything"

once i realised i can fuck with ppl, my winrate got really high really fast. I started moving up stakes.

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 

BB Defense ranges

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
