Reviewing Easty's HUGE DOWNSWING | Bad Play or Bad Luck? 

Pleasure as always my guy

The guy is god awful don't ever as for his advice again. I think this is why you have 2bb win rate at 10nl. Its from bad coaches like this.

you're not alone lad

Yep there's something quite satisfying about him losing right?

I agree but RU-vid is RU-vid.

Great to hear. Don't fold ALL of your sets though. Sometimes they're decent hands.

"fold all your sets" that's what you got from the video?? you sound like a complete nit. In a situation like the one with the pocket potato's, the turn card is absolutely horrendous for you and absolutely beautiful for villain's range. You need to think about your hand more than "fold all sets" and try to be a smart ass

The wider the positions the more JJ becomes a mandatory 4Bet. TT is okay to 4Bet in many preflop spots but it's also okay to call. I agree that calling leads to more tricky situations than 4-betting but this isn't a reason to always 4bet it. Don't avoid tough spots, embrace them and get better at them - they're an inevitable part of the game and avoiding discomfort doesn''t necessarily equate to maximising EV.

It probably amounts to a very similar EV in theory. In practice you could argue it performs better if you think people jam much wider with hands like AK than they call off a jam. I think you have to do both in theory at some frequency.

yeah i just checked and i lost 2.5k over a 3 month downswing earlier this year. maybe i should start streaming so i can cry about it

When you are a content producer all your losses are underpinned by affiliate/YT income. It's almost like having a downswing insurance. Something us mere mortals have to suck up.

Agreed. It's not the biggest downswing objectively but I think Easty plays quite low volume and for low volume players it can feel much worse than it is for a grinder.

I lost 150k playing 250-300$ avg MTTs (still had 15-20% roi over 30k games)So I wouldnt worry 2much about ur 1k swing :)

I drew it myself...

I would bet big there for sure, which means its definatly a check lol !

Yeah you're probably right. I do think that it's easy to underestimate the prevalence of straights when they're forme dby holding common offsuit broadways though. A closer spot than most think but vs a whale - yep I'm always betting too in practice.

Love to see it!

which site are these games in?

@@FizzyToni 888

I played against him a few years ago and 3-bet pre and c/r’d him with TT on something like T72r. He called with AQ and shoved over me on an A on the turn and then laughed and sneered at me as a fish when I stacked him. I sincerely haven’t a clue what was wrong with my play regardless of the result of the hand.

Also lucky that it didn'y put you off forever I suppose.

I thought it was his 10nl challenge. and he plays on 888, I believe.

mostly 50NL, some 100NL (and I think a small amount of 25)

If you look through this channel, you'll find many examples of me bluffing like a madman - some of them spewy and bad no doubt. Variance can be deceptive. I might go through a Twitch stream doing very little bluffing if the cards fall that way and I don't get into too many spots where I think bluffing is good, but trust me; this has never been one of my problems. My main mental game leak is being too loose and call happy in fact, especially when losing. Regarding your experience on the Twitch channel, we typically don't ban people unless they're being abusive or disrespectful. If you're respectful on Twitch you won't be banned simply for saying that you think I play too tight. If you say 'LOLOLOLOL this guy is a fucking nit fish bro' then you will be banned because no one wants to listen to that while trying to play cards for money. Some streamers tolerate it, I don't. If you're nasty to me while I'm running bad, you are very lilkely to incur the wrath. I have no memory of you asking me to show you a bluff, but go through this channel and you'll find many. Expecting a streamer to stop what they're doing and start proving themselves to you mid-session is a little egotistical. You're not the poker police and for most people, when they don't 'comply' with your demands, it's because they don't want to and don't have to; not because they can't. The idea that I cannot show an example of ever bluffing is quite amusing 😀

We can’t all be ballas like you.

Yeah he was a total dick.

Ahahahahaha​@@CarrotCornerPoker
