Not gonna happen, but thanks for caring <3

@@mynameiskarl Do you still play poker or are you retired? :D

Yeah, I think I did at some point

@@mynameiskarl I got my start in strategy card games playing MTG. I saw a Pete Clarke video with you in it and he said you were pretty good, so I figured I would head over here and see what I can learn from you. I suspect you probably played MTG at some point, because most people don't know what Firce of Will is, much less that FOW is probably top 5 as far as card art is concerned in my opinion.

Sorry bro, not playing poker anymore. Life's good though. Thanks for caring :)

I'm not teaching optimal poker play in this video, I'm teaching the very basics of how to use Simple Postflop (SP) SP is a tool with which you can study for yourself which bet sizes are useful in different spots: 1) Does the solver utilize the bet size when you add it to the game tree? 2) Does this bet size add EV to your strategy? (sometimes the solver will use a bet size, but not having it in the game tree won't have a meaningful impact on your EV)

@@mynameiskarl of coruse, I understand you are not teaching optimal poker, and I might have "misspoke" when I said WHY one play was better than another, I intended to mean why according to the numbers on simple postflop. in other words, you waived your hands so to speak at any numbers shown. I could not even BRING UP the EV numbers. I did contact them, and they answered a few quesions. have a great day.

Doing good, thanks. What about you?

Thanks! But seems unlikely there will be any new poker content here :(

Hey man, appreciate the love! When I launched the merch, I actually tried a couple of "print on demand" providers until I found one with the quality I liked & linked it to an etsy store. I don't maintain that anymore, but I did create a backup store here: mynameiskarls-store.creator-spring.com/ Can't really vouch for the quality there though, never ordered any samples.

Hey, glad you found my channel. Unfortunately I'm not actively updating this anymore. I hope this comment still finds my way to you... Betting as big as possible works best in the theoretical toy game of nuts & air vs a range of strict bluff catchers. Real poker hands are often not as polarized as that. And thus different bet sizes can be helpful. It's often mostly on the river that we encounter these spots that resemble the toy game. The whole thing is a very complex topic and can't be summed up in one comment, but I'll try to give some pointers. 1) On streets before the river , you don't just bet for value OR as a bluff. It's way more mixed. Betting on streets before the river is driven by a combo of: what's my equity when called ? how much equity do a make villain fold ? (= betting for "protection") On the flop, as the preflop raiser, you can often bet small (say 1/3rd pot) and get a ton of folds from villain's range. You'll have some nut hands that maybe want to bet big, but your range in general likes betting small and getting folds from the weaker parts in villain's range. On the turn, the threshold for the value part of your range becomes higher: your range becomes more polarized. The bet sizing gets bigger On the river, firing the 3rd barrel: the threshold for value increases again. Big bets & overbets are appropriate. The toy game shows us why big bets capture more EV. 2) One thing the toy game doesn't capture is that when you bet smaller, you expand villain's calling range (they "have" to call with more hands... or they would overfold and can be exploited). So when you bet smaller, your own threshold for "value" lowers: if villain needs to call with more hands, you can bet weaker hands for value. e.g. if you bet 2x pot on the river, villain only needs to call with 2P+ But if you bet 0.5x pot, villain needs to call with weak TP. Conclusion: I want to make you think about making big bets and show how they increase your winrate. But they work best in the toy game! Real hands & ranges are more complicated. Be on the lookout for spots that resemble the toy game, but remember that plenty of other spots are different

Thanks for the kind words! I stopped making videos for Upswing about a year ago. Took a break from poker, and I'm still on that break ;)

@@mynameiskarl cool, enjoy your time off! it seems many players I look up to have quit or taken breaks in the past couple years.

Thanks for the love. I stopped making videos for Upswing about a year ago. Took a break from poker, and I'm still on that break ;)

@@mynameiskarl Fair enough, mate. Thank you for your answer. I'm a big fan and I hope you enjoy your break :) If you decide to come back or even stop playing at some point, please consider to make a video telling us more about it all. It would be a great help and inspiration to players for sure - as your videos always are.

I don't have any experience with the other "GTO trainers" on the market, but I assume they all are kind of interchangeable. So no need to buy Simple GTO Trainer if you have Pio Solver 2

Only the casino wins

Thanks for the kind words !

The fun thing about hypothetical examples is that I get to decide what the ranges look like ;)
