    Limp against the player who defends. If you raise and they call, you don’t gain information on their range/strength since they have a tendency to call with with a wide range. Bet against the tight player. If they call, you learn they have a stronger range, or if they fold that’s good too

    I think blockers are very complicated for most players to fully comprehend. If you don't study and understand hand combos, then blockers sound like mythical things. Probably because when you first try to use the idea, a lot of the time, you get it backwards. It's kinda like trying to explain variance to a nervous player. They would get scared and not want to play at all,. If you are able to understand the game and understand it's all long money, nothing is done to make a quick buck then it's rare to get nervous in a hand, the money doesn't matter and the result doesn't matter, only the play matters. You'll find yourself more concerned with betting 2BB when it should have been 2.3BB. Coming in second will feel like last, because you were so close to the trophy, you just couldn't get a hand that could seal the deal. Your thoughts will go back to 40 hands ago....... would that guy have folded to 8BB? I feel like 6BB was a little too priced in for that guy. The mental game gets more important the deeper down the rabbit hole you go.
    As for the original question you would limp against sticky players, and raise the nits who fold to aggression. As always I love the video, Thank you Daniel!

    • @qazzaqstan
      @qazzaqstan Před rokem

      The other tricky thing about blockers is that a lot of the time you are blocking both the most logical bluff and most logical value hand, for example you have top pair with the AdKx on Kd7x4d2x2d, you block about half the logical flush combos but also are they really bluffing without the Ad (assuming they don't really have 7d4x which seems like a great bluff combo if it somehow got to the flop)? Also given you block top boat and nut flush do you use your blockers to turn your hand into a bluff? My thought in this spot is your hand its too good and you block the logical value so you sigh call (most of the time, obviously depends on exact player and actions) but certainly just considering blockers points you in several completely different directions.

    sticky players range is much wider when we attack the blind, so i would like to think our hand is good more often.
    plus we play a bigger pot in position, also a plus.
    negative is, that sticky players range is harder to read, so we sometimes fall for traps.
    plus vs the nittier player is, that we can win the blinds more often without having to continue.
    and the range they call us with is smaller, so its a better read on them.
    i think i rather limp vs the sticky player and bet vs the nit

    • @cadebruce4401
      @cadebruce4401 Před rokem

      Other way around imo.
      The sticky will stick even when you raise, so you get to up the pot against them when you have advantage. You’ll have them beat most of the time.
      Limping also lets you sucker in nits who normally would have folded and extract more value out of your premium hands against against the nits.

    • @cadebruce4401
      @cadebruce4401 Před rokem

      But the way i said increases the variance and makes it harder to play post, because you have no info on the sticky.
      And picking up the blinds against nits is always just plus EV since you avoid letting them hit the flop.
      In both cases raising is bit ‘better’ which is why in general limping is kinda an exploit.

    • @cadebruce4401
      @cadebruce4401 Před rokem

      All depends on what tendency you are trying to exploit I suppose.
      If the nit remains tight after flop and won’t get suckered into valueing their hand too much there’s not much value in limping them.

    I would rather limp against the sticky guy because usually the bottom of an opening range gains most EV from stealing the blinds. If that's not the case I still want to see a cheap flop with some playable cards, but paying the minimum...I think. I also wouldn't limp premium hands against that kind of guy (obviously) and my limping range would be very depolarized.

  • @hectorsarne5756
    @hectorsarne5756 Před rokem

    trick question! the answer is: it depends!
    ideally, you want to limp against both a sticky blind player and one who folds a lot!
    because a sticky player will play weak hands when they are invested and a passive player will only play strong hands.
    so if you like winning lots of small pots with low risk then you would prefer the passive player. if you like winning the big hands with more risk then you like the sticky player.
    i'm guessing what Daniel is trying to say, with the question, is to not be a single type of player. gotta mix it up right?

    Hey Daniel, agree or disagree.
    There are only two examples of blockers that matters.
    An Ace to consider for the nut flush.
    A pocket pair in our hands to consider for a four card straight board.
    Anything else is such a small percentage that it is more cons than pro's.

    Something worth pointing out that you almost mentioned (and I think you were going to but got sidetracked) - if he does attempt to bluff the river, it can't be a small amount (which you did say), like 1/3rd pot. So if he's going to bluff then it needs to be much higher (75-90%?), say 300k+. His stack at that point is still 691k. If he commits 300k+ and loses, he's down to 4th out of 5 in chips on the table. And what does he do if you shove over the top of his bluff (clearly he folds), but he's devastated his strong position in the tourney with a risky bluff that's likely to be called given the action that happened prior.

      I don’t know the answer, but wouldn’t you want to raise more against sticky since they’ll be OOP with worse ranges and more chips in the middle?

      @@yiannimitropoulos3913 ​ @davin510 I appreciate both of yall responding to my comment. ​ I was thinking of it the other way around but can definitely see trying to get it in pre with the better hand against the player who is sticky. I still wonder if limping into the bb who over folds is the best long term. I guess there is a lot more value getting the sticky bb to pay off vs just taking the one bb from the over folder.

      Correct! If players over fold in the BB you want to just pick up the dead money with marginal hands like QT for example. Against a tough sticky player who fights for pots, you can force them into passivity by limping, especially if the SB also completes. The more players in a hand, the less one should be bluffing.

    You limp against a guy who defends right? Because you should raise those hands against someone who cant defend. Is that right?

    Against a passive player, you just open and take their blinds most of the time. I would rather limp against a sticky player. That way, I keep the pot small. When you know you are better than your opponents post flop this strategy is gold. Limps in general, favors the experienced players.

    • @quinnreilly7681
      @quinnreilly7681 Před rokem

      Unblocking just means not blocking. So if a flush draw fails (say 2 hearts on the turn and no hearts after) you don’t want to have any hearts because it increases the chances that your opponent has 2 hearts and was hoping for the flush.

      @@FREAKIE90 It depends on what you want your opponent to have. If a flush beats you, then you’d want to have some of the flush cards to help block ones he could have. But if you beat a flush, then you’re hoping he has a flush so you can crush him. So then you wouldn’t want any of the flush suit in your hand.
      In this case the flush missed so you would NOT want any flush cards, thereby making it more likely your opponent has them and missed.

    I'd rather limp against a big blind fighter. They won't feel the need to raise a lot of time. If I raise, they are going to call or 3-Bet a good bit of the time. I will also keep a big blind passive player on the hook if I limp with a descent hand.
