Hey! You haven’t uploaded I really enjoy your content, your channel and your angle on the poker scene is fresh and smart and also generous bc of the mid session lessons! I’m sure life is in the way but don’t give up on this, I’m rooting for you brodie
Nice one. I like the commentary and length of the videos. And with this session even if you lose a few $200 sessions your hobby is now free for a while. This vlog is such a pleasure to watch after watching a rampage video, I can’t imagine gambling the life changing amount of money he does. Much easier to empathize with you 😂
Love the content brotha! Keep it up! If you ever want to come to Dallas and play let me know I can get you into some action packed games here in Texas.
Been watching vlogs for a few years now and wanted to say that you are in a sweet game- a money maker. Had to read in the comments that $200 is the max buy-in. Seems like short stack poker is a great advantage for a thinking player! Good content and thanks for sharing. 👍
Good vlog, just some points. When you started vlog I was expecting a math perspective to poker rather than the same poker vlog everyone else does. Like sharing percentages, pot odds , how you calculated the info, math stuff , etc... But it is turning into just another vlog. Just my opinion. Still good though.
Very nice session. I play in that same game, so may have seen you there. I enjoy when you incorporate a pause to consider the math/ranges/etc. and would actually enjoy a bit more of that in the videos, including considering pots odds and the like. Thanks.
I’d like to hear some mathematical discussion of the raise/call choice with the made Q-high Flush on the Turn and two players yet to act. What are their ranges? Do you or do you not want to price them in with their top pair, and two pair holdings, when they also have some naked Ad or Kd that are drawing to 7 outs to beat you? What is your plan for the River if they over call and another Diamond comes? What if the board pairs?
Thanks for the questions! If we calculate the pot odds, the next player would need to put in $72 to win $244 this is about 3.4:1 pot odds which means they need at least 22% equity to make it a profitable call in the long run. If we assume that the player has two pair, then they are drawing to 4 outs (and even less if one of their pairs is a 9) which means (using the rule of 4 and 2: www.thepokerbank.com/strategy/mathematics/pot-odds/4-2/) they only have about 8% equity. This would be a bad call for them to make, but it would be worse if I jammed all in. It would be a similar case if they were chasing a flush draw holding one diamond. With 7 outs, they would have about 14% equity. So, a -ev play in both cases. But, let's just assume they decide to call and it goes to the fourth player. They would now need to call $72 to win $316, which is about 4.4:1 or 18% equity needed to make it a profitable call. So, both players are not getting the required pot odds to make it a profitable call when I call here - and I would be giving them even worse odds if I jammed. So, I think a call is the right play here. To answer your questions about what I would do if a diamond came or the board paired, I would most likely go into check-call mode. I think it would be an overplay to jam the river but I think it would be too difficult to fold to an all in...Would you find a fold to an all in?
I think you should be able to copy the spreadsheet by going to "File" --> "Make a Copy". This should create a copy of the spreadsheet that you can modify for your own use!
It is low! But $200 is actually the max buy in for this game! It was a little weird to get used to at first, but I find that it induces a lot of action with lots of all-ins on the flop and turn. I've been enjoying it.
do you think that 2/3 is beatable given its the high rake? Also, I think that some of your plays are unnecessary. Like the J9o bluff worked, but I feel like plays like that at low stakes are just -ev for the most part. I don't think J9o is a good hand to iso raise with from the sb given the multitude of limps, and the fact that people at low stakes will open limp good hands at a high frequency, like KQo/AJo/AQo etc. So, you just end up putting in money out of position with a bad jack, against people that are not folding. I also think at low stakes, people will just shrug call KJ or K7 there at some frequency. Theory wise, good bluff, low stakes practical wise vs people that limp call, probably a torch in the long run.
Thanks for the comment! You're probably right, and I've definitely found myself torching money on bluffs like these in the past. My only defense is that this player didn't seem like the typical 2/3 player - he was more of a thinking player and had some experience on the felt. Not sure what he was limp calling with, maybe KJo? Not sure - but if anyone was going to fold, it was going to be this player type as he put a lot of thought into his decision.
I tried to mention in the vlog the instances where I think I shouldn't have been in the hand - the real answer is that sometimes I get bored and want to play a hand. I know, not a winning play in the long run, but like you mentioned, I think you can get away with being wider at lower stakes as you often don't face too many 3-bets or 4-bets preflop.
Got ya. No jusgement. Newer to poker as well and playing 1/3 games. Home games have yielded higher profit margin than casino, just was asking if you noticed a different win rate when you opened wider in casino@@Professor_Poker
Its not reasonable find fold with a9 two pair when you called the flop with middle pair. And its 2/3 game. You gotta be insane to fold turned aces up Idk why these vloggers talks like they are sooooooooo smart on this kind of spot Just say the truth that it is automatic call
I would have to respectfully disagree with you. A lot of players at these stakes have the mindset of just wanting to win the hand and not getting "sucked out on" rather than going for max value, so they make drastic all in moves (like the player did at 2:47) to win the hand right then and there with their straight, set, flush etc. I think a lot of it comes down to the player type that you are up against at these lower stakes. Thanks for commenting!
