Mastering Block Betting in Poker 

i like to blockbet, get raised and level myself into calling because i might v induced a bluff 🤠

Looks like i have been using these wrong, but i generally use them on board changing rivers, usually with the intent to fold to a raise but just like looper i talk myself into calling.

@@Mat-oh3xe I think that’s when to use them. When board changing cards fall. Wouldn’t make sense to block river on K7293 when nothings changed and villain has been the bettor each street along the way

When will you guys add more ICM training instead of chip EV? I feel like most of the training for chip EV is counter productive as we enter ICM relatively quick and most important stages of the tournament. For example I would like to drill for BB defense but the only drill available are for Chip EV which would be a massive blunder if I followed that defending range late into the tournament

You seriously are brilliant with your videos that mock things other people are being dumb AF about… please learn you cannot contain gas PRESSure without a container for the gas to PRESS upon like a balloon or tire or propane tank… and that we breathe gas contained to the earth and that we are lied to about emptiness being above us and not a firmament (dome or container) to keep the air we breathe over the level water (why we use water levels and not water curves) and land on the earth so we don’t suffocate! God didn’t lie on the first page of the Bible but man has lied with their writing and telling you how to live in the whole New Testament which is not a new but a nonsense testament by men… God showed me He’s real simply cause I wanted to know and said I wouldn’t until I could prove it with logic… and a simple thing everyone knows (we cannot contain gas without a container) but no one puts into words was given to me later along with miracles from Him to show me He’s real (regrettably cause even though you know you have a God to talk to you can still feel lonely and you realize He ain’t doin shît for anyone to make them less miserable in his crappy creation)… but who doesn’t just wanna know some truth?

Is this comment a reverse tell? Because I saw this comment before watching. 😊

Did you just call him fat?

Thanks! Here's the article mentioned: blog.gtowizard.com/the-initial-bettors-advantage/

Thanks@@GTOWizard

If they are indifferent between calling and folding their EV is effectively 0, and you have captured 100% of the pot while remaining balanced. Exploitatively you can lean more one direction or the other, but indifference is generally the goal of GTO.

"Block bet" just indicates a small bet from out of position. You're referring to a "donk bet" (leading into the aggressor). You can block bet as a donk or as a lead.

@@GTOWizard it feels like it’s not a think to donk turn or river following villain prior Street of betting on non changing board cards like K742 were not blocking turn or K7293 were not gonna block river

Yes!

Good point! This is why block-betting is typically done against ranges that have lots of medium-strength hands.
