Poker Player Shares High Variance Strategy and Thoughts

A poker player has shared his strategy and thoughts on high variance games, highlighting his approach to increasing the frequency of 3-bets and more liberally calling 4-bets in borderline situations. The player believes that high variance works in his favor, and he is willing to take on more risk to exploit his opponents' weaker ranges.

In one hand, the player considers making a small bet on the turn but prefers a larger bet to exploit the opponent's weaker range. He states, "I think standardly here to make a small bet, but I like a larger one, as I calculate that the opponent's range after checking on the flop will be weaker than it should be." The player decides to mix calls and folds against a specific sizing, stating, "On such sizing, I should mix call and fold. I will play a call, it is more dispersive."

In another hand, the player decides to go all-in as a bluff, hoping to get a call. He states, "I will play a call, it is more dispersive. The opponent checks. We start the attack on the bank with a small bet directed against . I bet $3.03. The opponent calls." The player also considers folding 70 big blinds in a video aimed at building a stack, stating, "I do not want to fold 70 bb in a video where we are trying to build a stack."
