Best poker youtube hands down Bart. Live poker will forever be profitable for disciplined hard working and open minded gamblers. Casino floor players and like minded slot jockeys don't see 18% equity with an underpair as a longshot. Longshots are 1000/1 so I'm happy cracking winners AA 1/5 times and it's what I live for honestly.
The biggest problem with trying to pick off bluffs at low stakes live games is players don't understand how to construct a bluff. They don't take into consideration the sequence of events or the story being told that led up to their bluff. They simply fire because they want to win the pot. This obviously puts you in an awkward quandary because you'll often feel that you have numerous bluff catchers that consist of nothing more than middle pair that seem like a punt when you're wrong. This problem is compounded by the fact that a lot of live players accidentally turn their hands into bluffs, the classic " value bluff ", where nothing worse should ever really honestly call but they don't like checking back a hand like Jacks on this board so they'll fire the river with no clear understanding as to why. In a nutshell You're not losing that much value by just folding almost any river that a fish bets. If at any point in the hand you lose control of the initiative chances are you're beat, and on the 10% that you're good, you're not hurting your bottom line letting them have it, because most of your profit is just going to come from hard value betting versus stations.
I think there arecertain action sequences that this is true. Like bet check bet. Usually that is a good sign that they have nothing unless they improved on the river.
@@jeffshackleford3152 A better solution is to take a GTO betting line. Bet 1/3 on the flop and if they call you know they never have better than 1 pair because they would have raised. This gives you considerable FE on later streets by potting the turn and jamming river as a bluff. If you actually have a value hand then continue betting 1/3 pot to maximize value from whatever trash they're calling down with. I've got 3 streets with TT on an ace high board before, no idea what they could possibly have called with. And then I've overbet jammed river on a KKxxx runnout and had someone show me K6o before folding.
Hey Bart! Just wondering, you said in a vid on CLP a few years ago, “On a K-high flop 2 or 3-handed, I'll usually lead out with anything and usually take it down since my opponents will mostly have missed. I think this is a hidden profitable spot that most people miss.” Would your advice still be the same in 2023 please? Thanks!
I know he LOVES attacking multi-way pots when the pfr has checked. Would be pretty surprised to hear that he likes to donk into a raiser on a K-high flop 2-3 handed, though. Hopefully he'll see this and let us know.
I saw someone mention this in a Reddit post. But Im not sure what video you are referring to. Can you let me know where I said this so that I can review?
I think this is just a basic understanding of range versus nut advantage. We obviously don't have the range advantage because we only called, pre-flop raisers range should include top pairs which beat us. However we do have the nut advantage, because 88, 55, and big combo draws are certainly within our calling range. So based upon that we should have pretty decent FE to get everything but a king out.
Meh, not often i disagree with Bart but here i am. You are not a nit if you fold 64s to a 4x raise OOP. My opinion is that your opponents need to be pretty freaking terrible if playing 64s out of position in a raised multiway pot deepstacked is gonna be +EV. Furtermore, i think many players overestimate their edge playing these kind of hands from the blinds.
Caller here, thanks for posting the video! Question: Suppose Hero had check - raised to 400 on the turn and villian calls. What should hero do on this river?
Your goal with the check raise is to fold out weak top pairs and pairs like JJ on the turn that have hero beat. Based on villains description, this sounds reasonable and a likely outcome if villain has those hands. When he calls, his range might be KQ+ and flush draws and hero has villains flush draws beat with the pair of 4, so there is little reason bet this river.
Check/fold to a value bet. 'Fold' is optional depending on V and your profile. (too much to speculate here). If you raise turn 4x, most likely there would've been no river. If he calls additional $300, means: you're either beat or he has nut flush draw. I don't believe he would try to bluff river, and if he does, that'd be shove! Then, easy call.
Dude, you're mass mutliway and blocking all stuff that will fold (44, 66), and unblocking hands that will continue. You should not be semi bluffing this without some god tier soul read. Your objective is to get to river as cheap as possible and pray to hit and get your eV from implied odds when some donkey pays you with a set when the straight/flush come in. Heads up and even 3 way you could consider do this stuff, but you're 5 way to flop on a super draw heavy board in a fishy home style game, people will probably call you down with marginal bluff catchers like K2 or A8
I love u man, u are awesome I hope u know it already! :D . this is what the world of poker needs and I am learning and earning a ton from this kind of content.
Sorry to break this to you, but Africa is an immensely more free place than all of the west. Well, if you have the money to pay off the local cartels that is.
@@bakaraymoo7389 that’s funny because recently I played a game where I employed a limp 100 (even AA/KK) strategy from any early position. It was a unique situation. Normally I’m actually a very aggressive player. This price is so cheap though I like seeing the turn with that many outs for that cheap. Also, I have never seen someone bet that small on the flop into that many players with a hand that they are going to fold to a check raise. With a draw this big obviously you can’t even play it badly as long as you don’t fold.
I'd like to know more about the Uganda poker scene. Also, I don't see why the caller had to do this in US$, hand could've just stayed in it's own currency, wouldn't change anything.
It’s relatively new out here. Casino regulars in Kampala wanted to keep doing something fun during COVID lock down and started playing home games. When the casinos started opening up, they offered games. It’s not always consistent games, but action can be great and it’s usually still a home game feel. I changed it to USD for the call because it seemed easier to think of it that way for more listeners compared to the UG Schilling conversion. The effective stacks are about 5.2 Million Ugandan schillings, and that seemed a bit ridiculous to say.
Hero wouldn't be leading with those either. Much better to let the PF raiser bet as he's supposed to bet on a K high board, and either check raise or smooth call depending on what other players do. Leading gets him off the hook and he can fold hands he might have cbet with.
Don't lead on boards that favor the initial raisers range. If everyone is always raising AK pre-flop why on earth would you lead on a king high flop? Technically someone can always have AA which is why donkbets in general are stupid as they tend to make better hands call and worse hands fold, the opposite of what you want. But obviously we're not going to just automatically assume somebody has an over pair so you can get away with a lot of donk betting on random low connected flops just to fold out his equity with over cards and make your decisions a little easier rather than trying to play a check calling game out of position against an unknown hand. And with that in mind, when you find yourself in the opposite situation you can see how automatically raising any donkbet is almost printing money, because you know that your opponent is most likely leading with a very weak pair because he's afraid of your continuation bet, so just tell him what he wants to hear, tell him that he's beat by raising him.
Uganda? MP makes it two sticks, hijack raises 3 monkey skulls, and BB makes it one goat. MP has to flat a goat with JdTd here because 3 monkey skulls is priced in, right?
Even someone like Bart (who I kind of think of as a nit) says basically only a "nit" would fold preflop. To me this is a SNAP fold preflop and I'm a LAG. Of course in this video he smashes the flop but how often are you going to do that? With 25 to call $125 you're getting 5 to 1 and need to win around 17% of the time. This is what seduces people. "I'm priced in man". No you're not. You are NOT winning 17 % of the time. Remember there are 4 other players in the hand. If you were getting 5 to 1, isolated against 1 opponent that's a different story. Just setting money on fire. If you don't absolutely SMASH the flop you just have to fold. Even when you hit you have reverse implied odds to worry about. Unless you have a MASSIVE skill edge over opponents don't bother with a hand like this, pick better spots.
@@NO--BS. The 6 is only now an out because it’ll give him 2 pairs. So a 6 or a 4 on its own isn’t considered an out unless we knew with certainty that the Villain was unpaired.
