Pros Clash in a Battle of Poker Regs 

It was my idea for the references links in description and I appreciate youse following through with it

You notice how the villain didn't shove the river but did a "near shove". I've noticed that A LOT of people do this when they're bluffing. I think it might be a subconscious thing that they are trying to hold on to some of their chips.

At the Hard Rock, Hollywood FL you can definitely have a Players Bank. You don’t have to leave with all your cash/chips

Bart knows how to title videos to get me to click

Hey Bart, I played Encore Boston Harbor for the first time this weekend, and because of your content, I payed attention to things leaving the casino. I actually was looking behind me in my Uber for 15 minutes to see if we were being followed.

I like how the caller talks about how little money there is to be made at higher stakes while the hand is about a multi way 3bet pot

This is some high-level strategy! Wonder how good you'd need to be to have a meaningful advantage playing against each other pros or whether it's a waste of time. In finance, there's a lot more emphasis on risk-adjusted return, seems like playing against other pros shorthanded is high risk and low return at best.

Well played by the hero!

The good news about the Jack Casino 2-5nl being capped at $500 is it attracts worse competition. At $1500 cap it intimidates the bad player. So in a sense it's not a huge deal. You can still make 100k a year. It's definitely possible. Because the players are much worse. It's all about finding competition that is significantly worse than you. That's where the money is made.

Ive been grinding low stakes in florida for the last year and have been asking myself that exact question about if its worth it to switch to or mix in plo because all of the gamblers seem to be moving to plo. Seems like the 2/5 game loses a rec player every couple weeks to plo, and they never come back.

Unless the villain is planning to size a turn to turn into a river shove, I think betting the turn with a spade draw is an error. The Hero 3! PF and led into two players on a dry-ish board and then checked the turn. Very little chance hero is ever check-folding the turn. As played, villain had a clear check-back imo.

You need to come to Tampa and do a meet up game or something..

calling in on a walkie talkie

Fellow Clevelander here. NH joe!

Is this an old recording? Either that, or he hasn’t been to Cleveland Casino in a long time, because there is not that many PLO tables.

I'm a beginner for what it's worth (got into poker 6 months ago and just doing my best to learn what I can). I only have the bankroll for microstakes online and only played live once. Like, if I'm playing a home game with 5 other people who don't watch or study poker and just play it for fun occasionally. I will walk away from the game at least doubled 90% of the time. But 5nl has been a challenge for me (I'm bad I know that's not the point). I think Bart is probably right about PLO. This is just my experience and albeit a low sample, but I started playing 5plo for the hell of it recently. And it feels just like when I play home games with my friends who don't know anything about poker. Unlike 5nl which only has like maybe 20% guys who vpip 40%+ in the pool, maybe 10% of pots go to the flop with only limps, and fight back with ridiculous shoves and huge overbets against aggression... with 5PLO it's more like 90% of players vpip 100% and limp every hand they get and also have a loose-passive playstyle that's very easy to bluff off of middling hands and isolating players actually works. In my experience 5nl is harder than $1/$2 live. So if 5plo is easier than $1/$2 plo live I mean. I think it's probably just a better game. Right now I feel kind of conflicted switching over to a different game after sinking dozens of hours and a couple hundred dollars into learning NLH but honestly I'm having a hard time justifying not just learning PLO instead. It just seems like the skill a recreational needs to have fun playing is ridiuclously low. Which means the amount of skill you need to make a profit at a given stake seems way less compared to NLH. For all I know that changes the higher stakes you go up but at the microstakes online it's either a much softer game or my mentality is just much better suited for it.

Houston, there’s always more plo than holdem. Then you go to Austin and there will be 1-2 plo tables going. The skill level is also huge between the two. It’s almost as if the Austin players are s couple years behind. My guess it’s because the rooms in Houston have been opened longer. I live in college station and it’s almost the same distance and unless there’s a series going, Houston it is.

I love CrushlivePoker. Out of all poker channels Fart Hanson does the best.

I never go to a casino without a firearm for this exact reason you never know who maybe watching you just waiting for an opportunity to rob you..I have seen this at the Tampa hard rock when shady people hang around the cash cage calling people like they are spotting for a team to rob a player..they seem out of place and I don't really see security in the parking garages to help protect the patrons from this type of thing..I always watch for cars following behind me and I usually get off at an exit that is not mine if I had a good night and jump back on the highway just to make sure..be vigilant and prepared because you never know what maybe around the next corner..

Shouldn't villain shove with nuts and bluffs? I'm not sure I can find thin value for him.

So if villain was exploited here, it's because his turn range for the given size was not balanced, too many hands that are just a bit weaker than ours, and we can therefore call much wider? If villain were balanced I'd think we should have lots of better pairs, any TT w/ no diamond for example opens up a lot of diamond floats for bluffs to make this call more appealing, AND it seems to me we don't have many missed draws ourselves, are we really going to check / call diamonds on the turn? So what do we really have that's worse here, having bet the flop into two players including a rec?

What are the odds that someone was at the table who is in chat?

Definitely in Cleveland PLO is the big game still in 2023.

I don’t get it… What do you do to crush regs? What in the video mentions how to crush regs?

4:54 I mean you see gamblers in Hold'em too trying to hit their two pair and stack one-pair premiums like high pocket pairs and AK/AQ

Hey Bart. Should I be jamming A5s utg with 11bbs first hand of a final table. It really felt like a punt when I ran right into JJ

It's inconsistent for hero to say he thinks villain's turn bet looks like a reverse stop bet to get a free showdown and then think villain is turning a weak hand of that type into a bluff on the river, especially when he said villain checked back a straight on a previous hand.

Coming in the Fall; Crush Live PeeElOh

I haven't heard that many "likes" since watching Valley Girl

in this day and age it should be very simple to electronically transfer money ina nd out of a casino.......

Joey the moosh? Orange city with that shady ass parking lot lol

How is someone like this ever suppose to settle and buy a home if live poker scene dies so often maybe it’s time for Joe to pick up a real life skill

I dont think they are allowed to name boys anything besides Joey in Ohio.

Yeah… “dont want to say what you’d do against the button incase he’s listening…” Lulz

Tampa Bay Downs isnt a Casino its an ex dog track fronting as a card room

Am I crazy to put QT hearts is in his range? On the turn, it feels like that would be in a “Value” bluff range on a float flop. River bet for “value”when he missed his draw on the river?

Great card to bluff but he should have jammed. It would have worked

Villain should have went 50% on the turn to leave himself uncapped, then all in on the river (which would be less than pot) to rep the top of his value range effectively.

Bart is spot on regarding the PLO versus NL discussion. Fish gets absolutely destroyed in full ring NL games these days in decent lineups. In Omaha they can gamble alot more due to equites running closer,and stackoff pots happens at alot higher frequenzy than NL.

Florida is a pretty Second Amendment friendly state. I would suggest training and carrying for that.

I'm a reg at the Hustler. 2/3 2/5 5/5... this comes down to reads and history ... that's the entire unknowns. There's a benefit to playing the regs ... no doubt... but have a handful of theory in your back pocket.

Nh to the caller

Yeah yeah righhht righhhht you can’t make much at NL guys, better move to plo

Stop saying quasi

Is that Joey Ingram?

Quasi whatever whatever

Too much rambling before we got to the action

What’s getting robbed and pistol whipped like?

First

Whatever whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Boring

This is possibly the worst sound quality of any caller this year. I don't think it's listenable.

Bart every time I watch you play poker you lose what’s up with that
