Mobius Poker – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, I cover the evolving strategies around bet sizing in no-limit hold'em. We'll look at how bet sizing affects your strategy and EV, drawing on lessons from the introduction of solvers like PioSolver to the recent updates from GTO Wizard AI. I'll discuss how using tailored bet sizes can provide an advantage, as well as the risks of overcomplicating your strategy. Whether you're focused on maximizing value or avoiding mistakes, this episode will offer practical insights to improve your game.

Note: At 1:05 I mispoke. I meant to say, "...with the arrival of Ruse, we've started to see some less obvious but still important bet sizing improvements."

In light of GGPoker's recent purchase of WSOP for $500 million, Patrick revisits his posts about GGPoker's extremely high rake in cash games, and what the company's entrance into US online poker markets could mean for the future of poker. In this episode, you'll also learn how to calculate how beatable your games are based on the average loss rates of recreational players.

Note: I mentioned at 6:40 that most regulars on GGPoker report to me that they get about 3-4 bb/100 in rake back. I should clarify that this is at low-mid stakes. At 5knl+, the rakeback is much lower.
