00:00what's up guys it's doodoo poker here for another video today we're going to be talking about three
00:10spots where you do not play gto preflop okay first spot we're going to have we're going to
00:17give ourselves aces okay so we min raise under the gun we're against a knit in the big blind
00:24okay so in theory gto would three bet around five percent here but we know the knit is too tight
00:33okay so he's not going to have hands like king four suited king ten suited ace five suited he's not
00:41going to have these hands in his three betting range he's more likely to have queens kings ace king
00:45right so when we're against a knit facing a three bet and we're under the gun the solver will mostly
00:54go 22 we do not want to do this we do not want to do this we want to jam why do we want to jam
01:01we want a cooler than it who has a more realistic three bet range of two to three percent and not
01:07the gto five percent okay so we we use non-gto play against non-gto ranges okay so we always jam here
01:18to cooler kings queens possibly jacks and ace king okay that's number one the second time we deviate
01:27from gto is let's say we're under the gun with ace king off okay so we raise min raise say we get
01:35three bet by hijack and button cold four bets okay so we're under the gun with ace king okay so
01:42the solver will mostly jam here okay but it's also sometimes folding we should always always fold
01:50here with ace king off why we have to go back to the ranges remember you don't play gto pre-flop
01:58against non-gto ranges hijack's going to be stronger hijack's not going to have these hands
02:03these lower hands the button cold four bet range is not going to have hands like ace five suited ace ten
02:09pocket nines these are not in his range okay so we can use math to figure this out under the gun
02:18has to risk 98 big blinds to win let's say the hijack folds and the button calls so we get 6.5 bb dead
02:29money we also get the small blind the big blind so it's going to be 208 so i'm risking 98 to win 208
02:36okay so let's do 90 98 divided by 28 i need 47 percent equity to jam okay now let's put the buttons range
02:49remember that number 47 let's put the buttons range as aces ace king kings ace king suited queens and jacks
02:59okay that's his range that's a more realistic range let's look at equilab
03:02now what do we see we see we only have around 40 percent equity and we need 47 so we're making a big
03:16mistake by jamming okay now this is not exact because he could have ace queen suited but it gives you an
03:23idea of how big of a mistake it is okay so we needed 47 we have under 40 that's the second time that we
03:32deviate from gto okay the third time is when we're against a fish okay so if we're against a fish
03:42and let's say in this hand a fish um open limped obama 98 isolated the fish is in the small blind okay
03:55that we're that we're targeting he three bets what do we do with aces a solver will always go small
04:02here with the four bet sizing we do not want to do this why why do we not want to do this
04:08we don't want to do this because the fish has a lower than gto fold to four bet so we want to
04:18leverage our hand and jam all in because if the fish has any pocket pairs he's calling if the fish
04:23has ace queen suited he's calling ace jack suited he's calling right all these hands that we absolutely
04:29dominate
04:30and we want to use the power of aces to cooler these hands okay we'll cooler them in his mind
04:38so when the actual hand i jammed i got called and he had ace jack suited now if i had just gone
04:48small and bet flop it's very likely he folds flop because he missed right so these are three
04:56spots where you want to deviate from gto and instead leverage the mda pre-flop
05:06to make more money than gto pre-flop all right guys hopefully you learned something and i will see
05:14you in the next video
