At 1:24, Foxen gives up a live tell that he doesn't have nutted hands:

Helmuth: You caught me making a move
Foxen: That's good to hear
If Foxen had QQ+, AQs+, AKo he wouldn't have made that comment. If Foxen had nutted hands, he wants Hellmuth to call. Foxen is really saying "That's good you don't have a nutted hand because I don't"
In your face solver nerds!
Interesting side note from page 132 of Michael Acevedo's book "Modern Poker Theory":
The best approach when exploitatively widening your ranges is to start by increasing the
frequency of hands that are played with a mixed strategy.
This is because the threshold hands are the first hands to become profitable against Villain leaks.
For example, if a hand such as A9o is bet 25% of the time in some spot, the best exploit against a
player who overfolds will be to bet A9o 100% of the time. From there, you can add hands that
are very close to the borderline hands, such as perhaps A8o and A7o, instead of randomly adding
something like
Q4o.
Not random for gods like Hellmuth you simpleton!
