In this video, Freenachos analyzes how players can exploit population tendencies in delayed c-bet situations. He demonstrates that the average player pool significantly overfolds and under-raises versus delay c-bets. Using PIO solver work, he shows how making subtle adjustments to your strategy based on these tendencies can create significant exploitation opportunities, particularly when betting more frequently on the turn after checking the flop.

Freenachos shows that most player pools significantly overfold and under-raise against delayed c-bets, creating a major exploitation opportunity. He demonstrates this using solver work that compares GTO play to exploitative adjustments based on real player tendencies.

Solver-Based Strategic Adjustments:

  • Population tends to overfold against delayed c-bets, especially smaller sizings
  • Players under-raise against all delay c-bet sizes compared to optimal play
  • Weaker hands perform better as bets when opponents overfold and under-raise
  • Medium-strength hands (second/third pair) can exploit opponents by checking back turn and calling river overbluffs
  • When opponents rarely check-raise, range betting the turn becomes nearly unexploitable
  • Simplifying your strategy to bet more frequently exploits common player tendencies
  • Over-aggression can create counter-exploitation opportunities if opponents adjust
