Everyone has had access to solvers for years and the games have never been tougher, so how has he managed to have a graph like this Is he just executing "GTO" strategies much better than his opponents are?

Is he just an exploitative players who has found a few ways to exploit the games he's playing? In today's short article, we will get a peek at the answers while focusing on how LLinus' c-betting strategy on monotone flops has changed in the past few years.

This is the fifth and final part of Alex "Kanu7" Millar's strategy series! Alex is one of poker's biggest-ever cash game winners and he's joined the Upswing team to create content that will help you improve your cash game skills.

Alex starts the video by going over LLinus' stats on monotone flops before December 31st, , which is around the time that his graph really takes off.

In the hand sample, LLinus c-bet It will be interesting to see if that holds up for LLinus' more recent stats, but before we look at those, let's look at the bet sizes he used on monotone flops.

LLinus was betting under half pot most of the time, but he mixed in some larger sizes as well. Again, this differs from Alex's advice in previous parts.

Fortunately, LLinus' recent strategy on monotone flops is quite similar to what you've learned from Alex in previous parts. Here's a summary of the hand sample:.

This is something that LLinus himself has worked on in the last few years, to change his strategies from how he was playing -- which was quite far from the GTO strategies that I was recommending in [previous videos] -- to actually [playing very similarly] to what I've been putting out.

So, putting in pretty much the same amount of money to the pot. The difference in EV between those two strategies is going to be absolutely minuscule.

It's good to see that LLinus' c-betting strategy lines up well with what Alex teaches in his course and what he recommended in the previous parts in this series.

It's also good to see that LLinus has clearly been working on this part of his game. That means the strategies you've learned throughout this series aren't something people knew 3 or 5 years ago, and you might be the only player making these adjustments in your games.

LLinusLLove has picked up some equity though with the gutshot to the nut straight and sticks around. Michael Addamo still has only Ace-high and after Linus checks to him, his only chance to win the pot is to bet big.

This puts LLinusLLove into a tough spot. Yes, he has top pair top kicker, but the flush draw got there and every Nine beats him plus several top pair combos such as s, 87s and 76s.

On the turn several straight draws come in and his chance to steal the pot arises, when Linus checks. Addamo understandably goes for it, but Loeliger has picked up the gutshot to the nuts in addition to his overcards, which gives him enough equity to stick around.

On the river almost every draw gets there. However, LLinusLLove makes top pair top kicker. Awesome hand by two poker masterminds. Both played the hand very well, but the river was very favourable for Linus and it decided the outcome.
