A Very Warm L.A. Welcome | $100 - $100,000 Bankroll Challenge Poker Vlog #54 

Just to share insight, the J3cc gotta give up on river... he likely has an A calling f/t and only loses to AQ/AK. The first hand you opened was 45dd so he knows you're not capped w/ premiums when you open IP.

⁠@@Liththiumif someone opens IP why would anyone think they’re capped with premiums? Opening OOP is where you’ll more often be capped with premiums.

Yea I think he’s overly optimistic about what hands are going to fold when he triples off, he’s repping a narrow range of hands that are very difficult to make. Take that 1010 hand for example, I absolutely don’t think overpairs will fold the majority of the time, then he lists the range advantage he has. While this is true I can literally count on my fingers the number of times I’ve flopped 2 Pair plus Vs an overpair the entire calendar year, maybe my card distribution is just different and these are hands made at a much higher frequency for other people 🤷‍♂️

Sorry fella! I will be back one day, and I'll get better at posting my schedules!

I would not bet the turn with AsTx, it's mostly a check. I have tons of sets here, I'm never raising Flop IP with a set vs a donk on this board, I'm not betting Turn with a set. You're making a lot of assumptions out of my range that aren't true. This is a defensive board for a lot of IP's range, and playing more rivers aggressively is going to put OOP in a rough spot when he chooses to lead out on an extremely dynamic board.

@@BluffaloSam I highly doubt you’re not raising flop with a set. I have not run this through a solver but I would assume solver puts raising at like 99%. Nearly half the deck is a bad card on the turn for a hand like a set. Edit: Ran it through a solver with you opening 2.5x and sb calling, 100bb deep and sb leading out 1/3rd pot bet. It basically calls everything as the highest EV except for 6s5s. Although raise 50% pot is also a value and near equal line as call in this spot. Quite interesting. Highest EV line on turn after getting checked to is bet 1/3rd pot (but checking is only 0.01bb worse) and checking all aces with non-spades highest ev line. Sets are about the same but just a tiny bit more value than AsAx here with a 1/3rd pot bet. And same with AsTx betting 1/3rd pot is roughly same EV as sets / AsAx here.. On river vs a small lead (villian bet out 1/3rd, gto has 1/4th so going with that).. all AsAx highest value is calls although small raise is same EV wise except if you had AsAc where it prefers call. And it'd prefer calling with As9x and raising with As8x, K9, QJcc, KsTx, KcTs. And if your opponent rips it on you, their value should come from boats/quads while calling all flushes and shoving 98, 5x, A7s, A8s, A9s, K9s, T9s. Interesting hand.

@jonathansykes4986 I know my own strategy, I would flat 100% of my range here. If half the turn is bad why are we bloating the pot IP when half the deck is going to make our life difficult? Passive lines with strong hands in live games make plenty of money.

At the time of this video, typical buyin was 1k (its now 1.5k, and soon to be 2k) I personally hate all of these BRM requirements, they are way too nitty for live poker. Keep in mind I do have a job (that I'm currently on break from) but if I busted my poker bankroll, I'd be just fine. I doubt that will happen, and at this point I don't see myself losing enough to have to move back down to 1/3, but it's pretty easy just to take a step back and play lower stakes for a bit and grind it back up. Shot taking is important, especially getting out of 1/3 ASAP.

Essentially the same thing, just bigger max buyin

Yeah, I've tightened up the button steal range a bit, you don't really need to be fighting over 1.3bbs in live cash. If I ever play unraked games I will be opening super wide again though

I'm extremely extremely bad at realizing when kickers don't play. If I had known during the hand I absolutely would have checked it back.

No way, I do remember that convo! Good to hear from ya again :)

I can call myself an og to the channel

I'll play around with it today, but I think this is as big as I could get them

Didn't even realize that his A chops with most other Ax until now 😂 I'm really bad at noticing that

Yeah, if they're the type to "just get the hand over with, idc if I get stacked" just adjust your strategy

@@BluffaloSam problem is in my experience most players are that type! So I’d have to for sure know otherwise to attempt it 😂😂

The Bike has the nicest chips so far IMO

I think it was $1,500

Doesn't cover potholes, have to sue the city. Cba 😂

I really enjoy studying, but I always trust my instinct/gut at the end of the day. Depends on the game I'm in, if it's quite reggy and lots of 3bets/squeezes, EP range is the first thing to tighten up, in games where it's more multiway SRPs, I'm opening it up very wide. Currently don't have a coach, but will look into one in the near future!

I'm in Vegas now! L.A. was short, commerce vlog is next Friday, and it's a goodie!!

You're probably not playing enough 3b pots. There's at least 20 in a session that don't make the vlog when I bet and take it down, or check fold.

@@BluffaloSam I assure you I am, the lack of 3 bet pots isn’t an issue for me. I know preflop ranges left right and sideways. You know how many times I’ve flopped a set vs an overpair in a 3 bet pot the last year? Three times, and I don’t like folding pairs pre and I’m not much of a limper so it’s not from a lack of opportunities, so I just always get a little chuckle when I see vloggers talk about how the overpairs should fold bc you can have all the sets like these are easy hands to make, idk maybe they are for other people…

@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781 some of my opponents are also making tptk Folds OTT in 3 bet pots against me, so I can definitely go pretty wild in these spots as well.

@@BluffaloSam that’s wild, also I think you misunderstood my initial post, I was referring specifically to pots in which I’m calling the 3 bet, not the 3 bet aggressor. I can tell you for a fact I haven’t made 2 pair+ 10 times the entire year in those circumstances, so I just think it’s funny that 4-5x in a session you’re trying to rep hands that I don’t make 10x in an entire year in that same situation. If people are actually folding overpairs or tptk to you often in those situations that’s pretty wild to say the least

@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781 ahhh gotcha! They are definitely scary boards for people just holding on to an overpair, you might just be running pretty poorly in 3bet pots as the caller 😅

Blinds are small, but a big like $100 ante preflop, bit weird

@@BluffaloSamso like a bomb pot? You get to see the flop for $100 / no pre flop betting

@@SpendingAddiction Nah, normal game just a very large preflop ante

He was scared of the flush 😂

It’s such a good board to check raise with a blocker A 10 becomes a bluff catcher at that point.

Hot dawg!
