People get too caught up in telling you what you should have done. Realistically, this is a game of probabilities. Player tendencies are almost as important as position. The outcome is the collapse of the wave function - its easy to say what should have been done in this 1 instance. But what if you simulated it 1,000,000 times with slightly different variables? Overall, you've always had really solid commentary that has helped improve my game and thinking about the game a lot. Idgaf what anyone says, you play with the skill and awareness of someone who can crush small stakes and likely be profitable at 2/5 and 5/10. Because you're not playing GTO. You understand it and why it works, but you adjust to the field and position, and player image. Which is what you should be doing. You show your losses and you're honest about when you put yourself in a bad spot or make a bad play. Not a lot of people are willing to out themselves out there like that. No one ever improved by focusing on one hand specifically. Its about a combination of refined fundamentals and real world experience. Keep up the great content man, thanks a lot! Forget the clowns... some of us really appreciate your vids and actually care more about improving our games than being "right" in a pointless argument.
@@herrvorragend3542 ak, aq, aj, a-10, kq, kj, k-10, qj, q-10, jj, 10-10, . Any of these are possibilities. ak most likely but I don't even think he was that strong. KJ suited or AJ suited are strong possibilites.
He c-bets the flop. KK doesnt do that AA could but I think AA is unlikely when he bets out the turn. The only other hand that is beating you is J-10. He may have raised preflop with suited j-10.
Fold set to not but call him with one pair on ace king jack board. Got it. That’s why you don’t fold sets in those small games. And that’s why you don’t give free info then you level yourself.
I aint mad at the QQs fold, Ive done something like that before too, OMCs get no action lbvs, u played it right, i would have did the same thing, if he flats w/JJs he definitely woudl have flat w/AK even if it was suited more than likely, like u said gotta exploit the other players , gotta pay attention to what they do or dont do and adjust from there, ya 88s hand, I think I would have pulled the trigger on the river, a set, two pair or a straight would have raised ya bet, and he looked like a OMC too, he definitely would have pushed ya raise if he had better, I look forward to ya next vlog!!
Thank you for the comment One of the few that understand the QQ fold In the moment and before JJ hand there wasn’t even a doubt in my mind it was a good fold After JJ though I couldn’t believe I even got so many comments saying it was a bad fold
man the AT call is way worse than the QQ fold. The QQ fold it just is what it is. If you're going to make a set only to fold, why even call preflop. The AT line is just super strong, the limp-call, check-call, check-call, lead river on an A high board is never ever ever ever ever a bluff. Even ever. ATo is like bottom of range there, I would just snap fold all one pair hands.
6:06 is proof you dont fold sets just because A Q 10 is on board, AK gets there cannot put them on a cooler like that, but then a few hands later a lower set coolers you with A 10
Hey Kyle love the vids. I have learned to practically never show my cards when I muck. I believe you were 100% right to fold your set of queens. Unfortunately by showing your hand you only accomplish potentially embarrassing him and letting him know you know exactly how he plays. This action led you to that bad call against him later with A-10.
New subscriber here, enjoying your layout and commentary and tips! I'm new to poker and new to vlogging as well, where do you get your video clips from to insert? LOL I love your descripton of OMC btw ;)
@@mageloffracing501 hey I appreciate that. I’ve been very blessed in my career this last year and unfortunately it just doesn’t really leave any time to make content- in fact I don’t even get to play poker that much anymore. Don’t get me wrong- I’ve considered it. Maybe when my career slows down I can revisit it. 🙏
Can't really roast you since I only called down a omc with set of jacks on a AJ7 flop. I even asked if he had aces and he said no. Well he did have aces and the table had a good laugh about it, but I lost the minimum by not raising.
GTO becomes more effectively when the villain does not play GTO. Playing the best GTO ranges, calls and folds will be most profitable when others are just playing random strategy. GTO when you play against other GTO opponents and that is when you need to find exploits. After saying that, being exploitative and folding a set when it is beat is the best way to minimize losing a major cooler.
Hey man, I don’t care what people are saying in the comments. Against that specific opponent you made a good fold w QQ. The same guy limp called JJ UTG. And he did $125 again with a set lol.
the 88 hand I think you can make an argument just folding flop. Youre hand is just too weak to continue across multiple streets and even an 8 can be bad for you. I also think its a bad card to bluff with, especially facing a pot size bet. Would probably only be semi bluff raising with like QTs/QJs/KTs blocking effective nuts. especially at low stakes where large bet sizings just objectively mean strength. 88 is just a bit too strong and even 78s has some terrible reverse implied odds vs KQ there. Also, your opponent should be betting KQ there at some frequency especially with backdoor flush draws, drawing to the nuts.
13:20 Wish the river was a queen and his opponent wouldve donk jammed so he'd learn how atrocious of a bluff that was. So many better hands to turn into bluffs there
I understand that the hand played thus far is losing play, so maybe you think semi bluffing will fix it. I think it's losing hand out of position. Play this hand multi way or in position.
Stack sizes? It's impossible to understand proper bet sizings without knowing stacks. 88: "I bet because I have the range advantage, wit no thought for opponent's likely range." QQ: "I fold based on opponent's likely range." Which is it? Seems like you are just rationalizing your actions after the fact. In the 88 hand, it was obvious to me that villain had an overpair. In the QQ hand, villain could easily have had AK. OMCs are not limited to exactly AA or KK. Any combo of those two cards are good enough usually, and then they continue when the flop hits them. When they have the nuts they usually also size up their bets, which he did not do. I definitely continue for less than 1/3p. Second 88: This was crazy. Villain range bet flop and then polarized turn. You should not even be thinking about "this card is better for me than villain" after that bet. Vs low limit players, IMO, you should be thinking little more than "what does this bet mean?" To me it means, he hit the straight, a set or 2pr. 88 into the muck. Although the exact range was off, villain's hand was still way ahead of yours.
I would love to see the life time earnings of the people telling you everything you did "wrong" in this session. I've watched enough of your videos to know you understand the game and you have good instincts. No one is going to win every hand. The key to longevity in this game is picking and choosing your battles. I've been at enough tables to come across the old guy drinking coffee who only plays big hands. Even if he only had AK on that hand where you hit the set with Q's there was still another card to come and it could just have easily been an A or a K to blow you out of the water. You made a decision and quite honestly it was probably the right one. These people telling you that you did anything wrong are most likely just talking out of the side of their mouths and don't actually win consistently at this game.
If anyone ever says live poker is dead show them this as proof that it is indeed live and well. I’ve seen Kyle misplay some hands over the vlogs, but by God that QQ fold was terribad.
Yeah I was expecting you to fire $300-$315 on river putting pressure on all his 1 pair hands. You gotta fire there brother. We all knew 88 wasn't good there.
Some people only raise 2 hands, Aces and Kings, and it will be for the $6 sizing at 1/2. The queens hand, it was nothing else if you have the raising range from your opponent. People in this comment section just don’t know… Folding them face up I loved as well, it non verbally screams ur so tight that this is what you get, you kinda suck at poker.
@@Lurorunner26.2 Then he had AK. Still winning. He didn't have AA or KK. The odds of him having 1 of those 2 hands is 1 in 120 and set over set in a heads up pot 1 in 7800.
Why would you show the QQ? Do you want the most exploitable player at the table to start playing differently? Also, your raise with the flush is foolish. A player like that is never paying off a raise without a nutted hand.
@@shawnbrands8192 You need to understand that many (or even most) recreational players, especially OMC's don't bet based on percentages of the pot. They bet dollar amounts that they're comfortable with. I've seen ones that bet $10 flop, $10 turn, $10 river (in 1/2). Or $10/15/20 or 10/20/30 regardless of if the pot is $40 or $400.
im not even sure how you think you fold to a 1/3 pot bet with a flush draw out there hell he could have had Jx of hearts just turn barreling picking up more equity
Kyle, come on now, you flop a set of Queens, and fold FACE UP on the Ace turn card??? Pretty nitty, even if you were correct. I think maybe if you called the $100+ turn bet, you could have mucked FACE DOWN on a huge river bet. I know you wanted to look like you could read your opponent’s soul, but giving free info of you were incorrect is only valuable to everyone else at the table.
