im very consufused here 8:39 . Im totally wrong approaching to the mechanics

When we want to modelate our Raising range: How is that "frequency its indifferent to specific combos" when selecting the Villain response to our Raise? (you mentioned the important thing is the EQ Realization so it doesnt matter if we change combos or "let the automatic frequency combo selection from Wizard")

I tought combo selection was more important than frequency because:
1- Villains generally dont use frequencies, generally they select complete combos lets say "raise all the 64o and fold all the 32o"
2- Specific combos should reshape our range morfology

Could you enlight me with this mechanic?

Btw: your teaching skills are in pure flow man, congrats, one of the best coachs for sure.

About the QQ fold against your KK.
What about eliminating you and getting 93bb CL against 40, 20 and 20 vs folding and having 49bb CL vs 44, 40, 20, 20.
I cant see the fold button

Thanks for the clarity and detailed explanation of every spot, was very easy to incorporate some stuff from your pov and your overall skill

All the spots fell into a more natural lines compared to the bully-strat choosen in the original game (probably you were playing many turnaments when this FT was reached thats why the deviation)

48:16 - would you mind to review this node?
if you were him: would you give up River with 42hh here? (since EP has all the Ax) or you would re-open other size? And what about the turn play: would you barrel and which size? if yes > would you pull the trigger this river? :D

1:03:30 what? hahaha, i will love to see our HRC range here with some nodes (different CL reactions to our opens sizes and how it affect us).

gg & congrats

I would say this video is a foundational baseline for new players and others that not reflect so much in the timeline of poker evolution. It made me think a lot and i want to share what are my thoughts.

I think we reached a point where now real life stuff cant be ignored no more (inflation, housing possibilities, credit access), poker turned a very niche business unless you move to 3rd world cities

Once you surpass a certain skill level and move up in stakes, tables become more reg-heavy. Most of them are good players overall and some rakeback grinders.
Battling regs is kind of pointless unless they make clear mistakes (which is very rare), and even then, variance can destroy your winrate.

So, our winrate flattens in those stakes and on top of that, fewer weak players lowers it even more, add brutal variance, and suddenly the idea of having a “good life” playing poker becomes much harder unless you’re playing some high stakes

So poker is no longer a safe bet unless you treat it like a business: invest a bankroll, grow it, and withdraw to invest elsewhere (in order to do that you need a bankroll outside poker, like you cant touch poker winnings)

So, unless you move to softer, less reg-heavy sites, which usually have higher rake but compensate with promos to attract recreational players. To win there, you need to play tighter because of the rake and stick to a more ABC style against recs. Basically, GTO isn’t really needed—you don’t need perfect balance, complex ranges, multiple sizings, or combo-level thinking.

I would say that GTO is just a possibility we reached thanks to technology and curiosity, a reflection of human technological progress than a practical necessity for most players. It shows how far we can push analysis and solve complex systems—but in real games, it’s often overkill. It exists because we can do it, not because we actually need it to win or have a good life, after all, we have to adapt to our environment and i think GTO is not needed for that to use in todays "poker as a way of living"

I was really busy these days, only had nights free, so I did not play SCOOP until today.

I cannot keep doing this, it took me a full workday just to lose to an autofold. Finished 150 out of 7000.

I think I am worth more than this so i will never play another Series again.

Man i have a question for the first spot, when the 7 doubles the mid pair.

The lead is b25 with the entire range. But i feel we need to polarize more, i don't think it gets the 20% of folds needed, but if we instead lead b50 it gets more than the 33% folds needed.

In addition when we have calls with made hands or improved Rivers, we have bigger pots to extract more value

What do you think

I didnt played th amount of volume, to be honest i feel pretty bad about the SCOOP and i wont play the planed schedule

the Camp preparation is an evident overkill due to the skill of players, and since variance its pretty wild in these events and with the addition that i will use almost nothing of what i studied in the Camp, my motivation is less than 0

Day 1:

played many tournaments and many bullets

i had the opportunity to put in practice a study of 21 pages that i made years ago, for a spot that went like this:

6500 players, 100 left, vanilla mtt

EP limps 20bb, SB overlimp SB, i jammed 19bb with Q9s in BB, EP called with KQs and i get eliminated

fuck this fucking gamblers, i wont play too many events of 9 hours just to lose vs autofolds

Day 3:
NL2
MTT: $0.55 / $1.10

+$16.22 ($8 from RB+Bonus)
Bankroll $77.43

Day 2:
NL2
MTT: $0.55 / $1.10

+$8.59
Bankroll $61.21

Day 1:
NL2
MTT: $0.55 / $1.10

+$12.41
Bankroll $52.62

Cash: nothing to say, this Stake is like play money

MTTs: I hadnt played MTTs in a while (about a year or so), so I had to rearrange my ideas, and believe me, I could feel my neurons struggling

what happened is that i was writing my journal on X, but since i will have the SCOOP journal, i just thought that i should have my BK Challenge here too, maybe i can encourage someone and that will be enough to me :D

And yeah, pretty sick things happened you will see, unprecedented sh1t :D

Tomorrow i will start to upload something, i will take my time to give it the proper format and keep things clear. Thanks for passing by
