Concerning ROFL theory, Im pretty sure it stands for
Raise, Open shove, Fold, Limp
and not Raise(call/fold), open fold, and limp.
I may be wrong but Im about 95% confident on this one. Of course this is based on mers' theory, unless this is referenced from something else.
yeh your right
16:05
you said something about open shoving your stack off range 7 or below because of the average population leak for the lower stakes: calling off too wide or flatting too wide oop...cant you clarify this? im not really sure what you mean here
^At lower stakes I found that you induce less vs the average population, and they are much happier flatting and playing fit or fold when extermely shallow. Although they are unprofitable flats vs your entire range, they may be profitable vs your exact hand, and in these spots you would be better off open shoving. So for example if you have a4, you would be much better off open shoving and getting a fold out of a hand like 78o for example (10bb deep) as opposed to minraising and your opponent flatting and you being in tought spots postflop.
Hi Chadders, just bought the series and I'm working my way through. Very impressed so far.
I just wanted to clarify the point again that someone mentioned earlier. At 16:04, when talking about open-shoving when very shallow at small stakes, you said "...a good default strategy is to open shove your stack off range with cards 7 and below". Does this mean that IF you are intending to stack off anyway, whether you min-raise/call or open-shove, AND your hand contains a 7 or lower, then usually it's better to open shove because most opponents tend to flat too much and these 'big-little' hands don't play well postflop?
I think that's what you meant but I just wanted to check. Thanks, really enjoying learning this stuff.
You say nash is for suckers...what about Chubukov?
In genereal no graph can teach you how to play optimally above 10bb
That is what I meant, but rthe effecitve stack size is still important, we don't want to be open shoving a hand like a7 at 20bb deep as we will waste some value, whereas 13bb deep it may be necessary against an opponent who will never 3bet bluff for example.
Thanks for the clarification.
So does that mean if you're too deep to call a shove given your opponent's range (let's use your example of A7 at 13bb vs a villain with a tight 3bs range), there is probably more value in open-shoving it than min-raising and potentially seeing a flop in position? Is this because you'll have less than 3x the pot on the flop and the low kicker makes it tricky to play if you don't connect? Just trying to understand the reasoning. Thanks again.
Hi Chadders,
About ROFL theory. You said that all the hands can be divided by 4 groups however it will be divided by 5 groups according the pic in the end of your video. Could you explain this point? And what range does fit the ROFL theory for?
Thx.
