Dude it's all top notch: the production, the play, the card protector... 10/10 my man. I really love how you condense so much information on screen without taking too much real estate. Well done!
Thanks, Marc! It's fun to build these, but sometimes it's so time consuming that I wonder if it's worth the effort for all the extras. Glad to hear they're appreciated!
You're right Mariano, I did. I didn't have a shot of Bellagio prior to the footage of me walking in. I tried to find a clip online and couldn't find one. I guess I should have reached out and asked you directly. It's kind of shitty that I didn't. I can trim out the intro using your clip if you'd like. I'll include an apology in my next episode as well, cause my intention is definitely not to take credit for other work, and I know you work hard on your vlog.
Nice little session while upping the sakes. Since your not using a clock, like how you give the time element between hands. Shows how much time can go by between getting playable cards or being in position even with weaker holdings and just playing the position.
Thanks, Mike! I'll admit I made a fair number of mistakes in this session. I've got a few more 5/10 episodes coming following this one that have quite a bit more action!
OOP 4x 3bet with 10s is actually standard. You need to raise larger than you would in position in order to mitigate your positional disadvantage. If you’re commonly doing 3x 3bets as OOP, that’s a fairly large leak, because your opponent has too good odds to continue in position.
Nice game- no booked losses that night. I like playing at Bellagio, the game is softer with more rec players. If you wanna try something more challenging play at Aria.
I took the 5/10 shot a few months ago after putting in about 200 hours at 1/3 and 2/5 at Bellagio was running like god up 4 k at 5/10 and ended up punting it all off lol but it is fun to take shots for sure can’t wait to do it again Gg gl c ya on the felt
He was actually born as a porcupine, and in church as a kid, at Sunday school. the Sunday school teacher asked all the kids to hug the kid to their left, and when he went to do it, it was a 7-yr-old girl named Lakey. Yeah, weird name. Anyway, Lakey didn't want to hug him on account of him being covered in porcupine needles, and she just stood there in shock, frozen, until she screamed "HUGGIE!!! NO HUGGIE!!! HUGGIE!!!" And Lakey ran out of the room and into the main room where the rest of the congregation was, making a big fuss while finding her parents. And he got the nickname Huggie as a result. It's a true story.
The only thing the guy with AJ should’ve been upset about is the way that he played the hand. If he had continuation bet on the flop it likely takes the pot down. If not, he can bet one more time with a gut shot and an over card and likely still win the pot. He’s mad at what you pre-flop called with rather than being mad at himself with the way that he played the hand. Amateur.
Oh, I definitely made lots of mistakes this session, more than I normally make. Practice makes perfect though, and sharing these mistakes is how I grow as a player.
