The Most Underrated Card in Poker 

Lengthy discussion about why the 2 makes this top pair more valuable than you might think Opponent has trips

Woke up this morning with confidence because I had a massive winning session yesterday This video reminded me that I'm trash and I have lots to still learn

I am a donk. I can consume unlimited poker content, and I will, but I will always remain a donk.

Thank you for explaining poker strategy so clearly!

10:05 'Putting 2 & 2 together...' that was my favorite!

Extremely surprising to see scarce cards > unblocking missed draws. Great stuff.

If a 2 is such a good card to bluff and bluff-catch with, I guess I’d better add a whole lot more 2s into my pre-flop opening/calling range. Then I can do lots more profitable bluffing/bluff-catching. That’s totally how it works, right?

"Putting two and two together, this makes 22..." No matter what follows, this statement is true.

You are looking at the wrong solver solution. Stefan raised 6.5x OTT (300 to 1900$+ or close to 100% pot) not 50% like it says in the sim. Also Stefan didn't bet 85% OTR Stefan shipped over 1.5x pot. What are we really looking at here? Q2s is a massive losing call vs these sizing's OTR.

There were a few things that I was lost at, for example why blugging QJo was bad. I couldn't understand the explanation.

This channel is here to remind me that I am not clever, never will be, and that I must remain rec for life 🐟❤️

In the explanation for why a 2 is a good card to bluff carch with in the beginning of the video, giraffe seem to want to differentiate unblocking logical bluffs and holding a card like a 2, while saying things like "it weights our opponents mire towards bluffs." Is this not the same thing as "unblocking our opponents' logical bluffs?" Using the example where the solver is calling with Q7 and lower at some frequency, and folding Q8+, the whole argument was that the opponent should be bluffing more with middling cards like T8 and K9. So, couldn't you say we are "unblocking his bluffs?" Im confused as to why these are different things. I think the insights later in the video are more valuable -- that being that it is okay to bluff with a hand like Q2 100% of the time profitably since we have few enough dueces in our range.

So, the point of the video is summarised at 5:22. But, I still don't understand the idea even when you show the toy game. I also don't get it when you say scarcity is king when it comes to bluffing. I need a more intuitive explanation. Anyway, I'm still gonna try to understand it. Tell me if my understanding is correct. 2x hands are scarce, so the opponent doesn't expect them in our bluff range, so they can't adjust their strategy to account for our 2x hand bluffs. Is this what 6:31 is saying?

1:38 btw AT is call too sometimes with that blocker) it can be better to look at q9 against q2 )) but nice video keep it up plz

I have a question for you personally. How frequently do you mix checks on the flop to balance your checking range?

still don't understand why we have to make him good call with 44/55 while bluffing a little more frequently 76o than 45s :/

nice, next time it will be cool a video on some multistreet toy game to compare the difference with single street toy

Hey I like your videos and I wanted to know if you could make a video about about GTO and how to implement it into live cash post flop play. I’ve been playing live cash for 9 years and I’m just starting to get into GTO. I have an understanding of board textures and range advantages from certain positions. I often utilize a linear 3betting strategy as I hardly face 4 bets at my stakes. I’ve also been implementing range bets 1/3 or 1/4 pot bets on static flops with most of my range, usually sizing up big on the turn/river or sometimes over bets as well as balancing checks with strong and weak hands. I practice gto pre flop range opening strategies and sizings and I try my best to balance my values to bluffs but will deviate some times depending on if certain opponents are under or overbluffing. What I really want is to get a better understanding of MDF (though it seems this is not needed at my current stakes as players are very fishy and I earn most from value hands) and also how to really benefit from implementing GTO strategies into my post flop playing. I currently play 1/2 in Texas where our max buy ins are $500. I want to prepare myself for the move up to 2/5 here as the 2/5 games here are uncapped match the stack and are notoriously known to be tougher than typical 2/5s. Thanks!

Wait, Stefan won the hand. Is this also tied to the scarcity concept?

Linus losing the hand after making an awful river call is a perfect ending to this video.

so are they bluffing river while blocking the opponent's folding range like T8o?

Nice video and well explained!

okay，scarcity is the king then.

Great video QY!
