Since we had a cat who went through diabetes (including having to give him twice daily insulin shots) we got him into remission and part of the process was moving away from free-feeding with hard food, to measured feeding with moist food. So I typically wake up between 5-6am most mornings to feed the cats their first meal of the day anyway. And I noticed the games were in full swing still and figured I'd try to catch people when they're drunk, stuck and tired.
We don't block any of the key straight cards (J, T or 8) We reraised preflop, and given we rarely raise preflop, this board hits the callers ranges harder than our own Since we have position and we aren't in a 1:1 SPR spot I still think checking back is ok Betting opens us up to a checkraise we can't call imo. I do agree there aren't a ton of great turn cards for us, but I think having position here helps a ton. Our opponent donked $175 more into us with under 20% equity on the turn, we just got unlucky he got there on the river
I actually prefer them in a way. They are an absolute pain in the ass for me to edit and share, because there's just a lot of extra elements I have to put on the screen. But, they handcuff all the BINGO players who are trying to get stacks in preflop with their restraddles and raises. It forces them to see flops multiway AND ensures all the weakest players at the table see a flop at the same time. I think it could actually be more profitable than just regular PLO. But of course, if you're just whiffing flops all night then it can also add up where you're just bleeding chips every single hand with nothing to show for it. A double-edged sword I suppose
Because I tend to go multiway with hands to handcuff the strong pros and over aggro players, it makes it harder to bluff because PLO tends to be a game of the nuts If you don't have the nuts or aren't drawing to the nuts, someone else is Plus a lot of my opponents are prone to calling down with bad hands (i.e. they don't fold losing hands) so it's better to value bet them
When’s a good time to catch you at the lodge? I’ve been going every day and haven’t seen you yet lol. I gotta join this game sometime and just minbuy since I’m not rolled but don’t mind punting 1 bullet to play with the OG
double board bomb pots are just gambling I don't like them at all, removes basically all the skill. As for the Kings hand, if you think your opponent is pretty weak reraise potting there on the turn is by far the best option! You could fold out all one pair hands and most two pair hands.
I thought he was most likely not that strong, so just called to keep his bluffs in since I had position. He managed to turn less than 20% equity into the winner As far as double board bomb pots go, I think they require more skill AND tone down the gambling A lot of these guys want to straddle and reraise preflop and just play for stacks Double board bomb pots handcuff them from doing that and ensure the weakest players at the table also see the flop
more double board bomb pots please. as someone who is still learning the game (watched the PLO professor’s strat vid that came out a few days ago) i am loving this content
I posted a comment on his video with my thoughts I will say I love double board bomb pots because it stops the guys trying to play BINGO preflop and guarantees the weakest players make it to a flop But man is it a lot of extra work to edit
I'm always surprised how much the dealers in the US interacts with players, i kind of dont like it, it feels unproffesional, here in Sweden most of the dealers are just quiet and basically only speaks when spoken to and when asked a question about the game, some are a little bit more loose but most of them are straight up pros. They dont give personal opinions about anything and never ever say something about someones plays.
I haven't played outside the U.S., but yes, here some do get a bit more familiar with players In the clubs in texas if a dealer isn't on shift thwy can play in the games
Tyty! At the moment I'm going to focus on trying to include the stack in camera view as much as I can, although I'm going through footage from the third week of October so possible my stack won't always be visible And feel like it would be cumbersome in the moment of tracking my stack size too, I have enough trouble reading off board cards before it's my turn to act lol
I think it depends on the game being played and the complexity of a specific hand and the amount of time taken as well. PLO tends to much slower and more complex for dealers so they should be getting more per pot compared with a hold em game that typically won't have 27 and 1/2 side pots to figure out and goes much faster. I think generally speaking $1-5 is a fine tip, but there are instances where I'll tip 10, 15 or even 25 for much larger pots or significantly more work.
@@PokerJeezus dealer tip amounts are of course highly individualized. There is no right amount to tip but there may be some wrong ones like a $25 tip....heh....that seems ludicrously high particularly for a professional poker player like yourself. What's your long term hourly rate in this game? $25 is likely at least 30 minutes work for you if not more. And if "dealer worK' justifies a larger tip I cant see how any pot could take 25x the usual work output required for the routine pots. But again...with tipping...to each his own I say.
@@sudhirpadmanabhan6798 I never give my exact numbers but my hourly is somewhere in the 60-120 range, not at the bottom and not at the top, so somewhere inbetween. But yes, it's VERY rare for me to tip $25, I have done it, but on extremely rare occasions. I don't think anyone should feel pressured to tip that amount as it's above and beyond, just for me they were typically massive pots (to me) with dealers I really appreciate
