Maaaan this is AWESOME! You are showing an ACTUAL session and not just highlights! This is absolutely what it’s like. I play for part time income and this is what it can be like at times. Table seems a bit tight though so you may be able to exploit some more of your spots here. Different perspective though. Much different approach playing FT vs PT. Keep grinding, definitely subbing to your channel. EDIT: I should have waited. You did widen up a little bit. Great job man
Thanks man!! Happy to hear you like the format. It was definitely a pretty tight game, usually I’d table change since there’s usually at least one action game. Not sure what it was during this day, maybe it was just a slow night
@@Pokerbabbo Im saying you should expand your range. Just making a general statement. Players underestimate how much you can make off of limped pots or like $5 pots..
I tried for years to convince myself I loved it. The feeling of making money without “working” was intoxicating. Sure that the free coffee and soda from the casino made me feel like a true boss… Then I realized how bad it actually completely sucks. Watching this video is like watching someone get a proctology exam.
First time coming across one of your videos. Everything about the video style, content and pace was enjoyable. And I really like the format with how you show every hand, pot size and time of day. I’m now subscribed and looking forward to seeing you run better in the future!
I love the new format... of you showing every hand and I do believe your content is one of the better lower stakes vlogs! I can learn a lot from this vlog!
I'm 5 minutes into the video and the thing I appreciate the most is how you show the number of unplayable hands you're dealt! Thank you for that because it is REALITY, rather than the fake impression other channels give that you get a playable hand every 10 minutes or so.
Two things to commend your poker vlog on are... 1. You respect the privacy of the other players (because Casinos generally DGAF and do it themselves) 2. You're showing all the hands.... nice job bro.
much more to it, than being exceptional in poker....one must also have the proper bankroll/ backers...AND, must run above average compared to other players at the table. Yeah..I know the BIG LIE, we are told , that everyone has the exact same amount of good luck/ bad luck in poker...but thats a blatant lie.
Everyone has the same amount of luck in the LONG run, not short run. You can flip a coin and it can land on heads 20 times in a row but not 200 times in a row. @@davehimlin2374
@@34pimpdog Really, so every player has the exact same amount of luck in poker as everyone else ? Amazing...I guess there is a poker god, above the clouds, that makes sure this is so ? rofl.
Your insane claim that there is such thing as some people being more lucky is actually fodder for there being some mystical poker God. Yet, there is ACTUALLY something at work called the Law of Probability. With mathematical certainty, every player will have the same amount of “luck” after a large enough sample size.
Thanks for showing all the hands and not just the important ones! Definitely appreciate the content and am suscribing now! Question though, why did you fold the KJ off in the small blind at 28:26, before the AJ all in hand? Were there too many pre-flop raisers?
Thanks for watching man! I appreciate the support. I don’t think calling with KJo in the SB is a profitable spot. I think we end up calling a lot with top pair with the opponent has a better kicker or just missing and having to fold or chasing draws. I prefer to try for the most part to be the aggressor preflop.
These are the toughest and most timeconsuming vlogs to create, but they are the best and most rewarding vlogs you can give us vlogwatchers. Great stuff as always. Much appreciated. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I do have to say though that this tight table with a lot of short stacks with the high rake of 1/3 is almost impossible to beat. So if you can, i should choose to play another more loose game with bigger stacks. Of course that will mean more variance, but way better to make some $. Better luck next time and good luck.
Thanks for watching!! I really appreciate the feedback Looking back at the vlog it was definitely not the best table. I’m not sure if the games where just not the best that day or what that I didn’t change table. At least at this casino the rake is just $5 and there’s a good amount of promos that helps with the hourly.
Love this format, gives way more context. This table is pretty tight, so I think your fold equity is pretty high. You might want to play more polar three betting pre flop
Yeah definitely goes both ways when the table is tight. I may just call in a spot that I’d usually 3bet if the player that raises is very tight. Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
@@Pokerbabbo "I may just call in a spot that I’d usually 3bet if the player that raises is very tight." This is often a mistake, you should be 3 betting a lot more than calling.
Love the format, algorithm just brought me here today for the first time. Regarding te nails do what makes u happy but they are distracting, just make it one color (thats my humble opinion). Keep up the grind
T is is a great channel I stumbled upon I just live the hand by hand session 😊. What sort of camera are you using I saw it when you took a break and I slow motioned it - it looks like some sort of flat flip phone or something 😅 Glad I subscribed now I can watch an actual poker session great idea 😂❤
Love to see that you’re showing all the hands, so also the ones you fold. Just wondering what cards came on the board after you folded the TJ suited. Maybe you could have included the runout, even though you folded your hand pre-flop.
Agreed. That was the one hand that stood out to me since it seemed overly tight. I don't think I have the discipline to fold that hand in that situation. I would have liked to see the outcome.
Good video. From my POV and limited talent, you play a solid game at 1/3. Above all, I like your honesty about the game and its ''variance''. Poker is tough - more so these days it seems - and you either get tough or find a greener pasture. Kudos for keeping up the grind during 6 mos of run-bad.
This is refreshing to see how often the flop doesn’t hit. Another truth (more in home hold-em tournaments) is that often when you play perfect and get your money in ahead there is often some guy who calls and sucks out at the river and takes the pot. It’s supposed to pay you off in the long run but most of us don’t play enough and running bad can last forever in limited games
I love your vlogs man because they give me a lot of perspective. I started playing poker for the first time about 10 months ago and I feel like I've been running like this for all 10 of those months. Obviously I didn't play well in the beginning, but I think I really improved my theoretical game a lot because I spend a lot of time studying and getting coaching from another winning player that I know. It just seems like every session the cards get turned against me. Win $500 one day and you feel great, then lose $100-$200 for the next 7 sessions in a row or whatever. I just wonder how long it can last, and worst part is the uncertainty of not knowing how much of it is driven by uncontrollable variance vs. my play. I feel like you and I play a similar style and also get similar cards lol.
Yeah that’s definitely hard specially at the beginning when you don’t have enough hours of play to have proof of what you’re hourly is. When you have that it definitely helps when you’re going through a downswing knowing that it’s variances. That doesn’t mean that you’re not playing worse during the downswing since that happens a lot as well. The bad run caused you to play worse and that courses the downswing to be bigger and last longer than the actual variances was causing. If you’re studying and have a good couch that is helping you improve seems like you’re on the right track!
I love this format! This seems like a pretty unprofitable table. How often do you move tables? I think you could probably find a better table, even at 1-3! Thanks for the awesome content!
Yeah looking back at the it it was definitely a pretty bad game not sure why I didn’t change table if it was just a bad day and other tables where bad as well or what. Usually I’d definitely table change. Thanks for watching 🙏
Seems like you might not be maximizing your potential post-flop edge with your pre-flop raise sizings. I think pricing each limp at $5 is too much in this nitty 1-2 game, especially when you’d be in position post. KQ hand for instance…raising smaller and keeping in their hands that are dominated I think is going to be far more +EV than just taking down the blinds, paying rake and tipping. Just a thought for a super tight game like this.
two things; it's easier to win pots HU than multiway, and you can condition players into calling larger raises after doing it for awhile. Eventually they're going to get tired of it and want to keep playing their crappy 64o hands and stuff so they'll start calling the bigger raises just to see a flop. It also allows you to play in a more polarized fashion since you can loosen up big time and play super aggro the larger your bets and if someone raises you then you can easily fold when you have nothing because their raise is going to represent a lot of strength if you've been betting so big.
Very fair, good points but thats giving a lot of credit to your typical lowest-limit players and it assumes either a very long session or repeated sessions with the same players and there’s a ton of turnover in low-limit games. But I get where you’re coming from.
I really enjoy this format of showing every hand, keep it up if you can, seems like alot of work lol! By the way, is it me or was this a shitty table, bunch of nits and short stacks 😂
I enjoyed this video. However, I have to ask what is going on with those thumbnailes.? I can't tell if that is polish or if you hit them with a hammer. Please let me know. Thanks
Been running pretty bad myself. Im still new to poker though i love it and been studying alot. In retrospect ive ran pretty hot this year in microstakes but recently im facing my first downswing. Been having multiple sessions in a row where i cant even make middle pair and every marginal raise is getting 3 bet. How it goes man but the grind continues nonetheless.
I love your videos, these are AWSOME. can you put a blog about how you learned to play. Did you take those classes on you tube or just by experience.. Thank you for sharing your videos.
I love poker videos so right off the bat you got me, if you make them I'll watch them, however I have a couple of questions it seems to me that you play all your cards face up for example you raise pre-flop if you don't hit the flop you don't C bet and clearly at that point you have range advantage use it, That's it just a small comment indoor question thanks keep up the good work
Thanks for watching man! Working on more videos right now. I do construct betting ranges to be able to bluff when I miss. I usually want some type of backdoor draws going on for me. Overcards with a backdoor flush, backdoor straight draws. During this session I was just getting a lot of flops that I was just completely missing so definitely felt like I was just giving up a lot
How many times did you run into Quads in a three week period. I played 11 sessions and lost to quads 7 times in that period. 3 times in one week. Was ahead the whole time per
When the table is tight/boring like this and I’m not running decent I’ve learned to leave after about 2 hours of this. To hard to get paid when you make your big hands. Switch tables or even rooms all together (if possible). That being said I do like how you show the reality of poker, This is how it is
Cool video. I actually played $2/$5 with you one night at Jamul so this was cool to find your channel. To be honest, I’m not a fan of all the short buys and small stack play at Jamul. I’ve only watched this one video so far but I’m wondering if this is your home room or do you play some of the other rooms in San Diego too?
One of the poker books I read said that on average you get one hand out of seven is one that will take you to the flop. I had already decided I did not have the right personality for poker, but that one line made me really know I am not a good match with poker. I do like to watch though.
Grinding for a living can be quite challenging just the mental aspect of coming back week after week going through tough loses even when you play your best sometimes the cards just don’t fall in your favor concurring the mental aspect was very challenging for me because I always had the shitty runs I’ve had in the back of my mind I grinded part time for some income for like 7 years after many years of mental gymnastics I decided to walk away I was not down in the long run but my mental health was nuked so I walked away cold turkey I do miss the game I watch vlogs and live games to get a small taste but haven’t seen the felt in 3-4 years anyways like the vlogs good luck on your journey man 🫡
Hey man! Thanks for sharing, yeah playing poker for income is mentally exhausting. I love playing but I am working on other sources of income so I don’t have to worry about money while playing.
Thanks for watching man!! That’s definitely an interesting idea. Maybe I can do it if it’s a spot that I made a big fold or something. There’s so much notes and editing I have to do already that feels insane to add more 😂
Hey man! Sorry about that the description didn’t save. I just added the link right now. You should be able to see it. The winner will be chosen on Saturday, Giveaway is open until Friday at 11:59 PM PT
Although it goes against raising when you're first in the pot, I think you should mix in some calls when you're set mining with low and middle pairs. I think when you hit, you'll set up some call, call, Jam situations to Big over pairs, two pairs and catch some Bluffs by appearing passive occasionally.
You mean limping? I think it’s fine in a passive game but not in a one that’s aggressive since most likely there will be a raise or 3bet and you end up having to fold or giving away the preflop aggression
@Pokerbabbo limp/call a bet when bet sizing of those acting behind is likely near what you would bet if you lead. At least where I play, aggressive opponents are addicted to triple barreling against limpers, often pot committing themselves to call a jam on the river. Another observation isI those who, when you give them the lead, start the hand with 300, their triple barreling bet sizes will often have them with 70-100 left after their river bet. Often a Tell-Tale sign that they don't want to go broke on the hand. Against these I don't "jam" by calling "all in" on the river but raise for about 1/2 of their remaining stack so that they can perceive weakness and do the jamming for me. I don't get in these spots with heavy frequency but the size of the pots when you hit Def helps win rate. Like you, I favor raising into an un raised pod if I'm going to enter a hand, but when I'm set mining, especially at an aggressive table that disdains limpers I will probably let my opponents lead 40 to 50% of the time. And when I hit a set I am very slow to call in hopes of making their betting hand impatient. In the right spots you will almost always wind up stacking impatient aggressive players who play fast. I think a pattern that many players fail to recognize and observe is the speed at which players respond when the action is on them. Players at low stakes bleed data by their rate of play. Something I'm trying really hard to do is when I'm watching hands that I'm not in, being cognizant of the speed at which they play, labeling those actions, and trying to remember how their pace of play changes when they're making different moves. Anywhoo, great content and just sharing through my lens.✌️
Two other thoughts: 1. You might be better suited in a 2/5 game where players still aren’t great but you won’t be dealing w/ 5-way pots and the like 2. Set-mining by calling raises in this game doesn’t seem profitable as guys just aren’t sticky enough post-flop That’s all I’ve got. Good luck!
I hear you, but it’s tough to judge. 1-3 is such a different animal. Knowing where you’re at in hands against guys who all play recreationally is tough. Lines are whack and you’re dealing with all of these multi-way spots that are tough to navigate. I haven’t watched many of his vids, just speaking generally from my own experience.
@@steverothman8509 there is definitely a difference. I can crush 1/3 games, but the rake kills you and you're winning pennies not dollars. Aggression is even more important in 1/3... and so is playing in more pots and putting your opponents stack at risk every time. Folks in 1/3 don't like to play for stacks without the nuts, you have to use that. Everything I've seen from this guy is that he plays his cards straight up, doesn't understand or play opponent weaknesses. I would have played double the hands he did and won, because I want to be in pots with bad players. Look how many times everyone folded when he raised pre... they see him as a nit.
Love it, hope you win more soon. I got the feel you could play a little more aggressive. But who am i to judge, not playing poker for a living and betting my own money😂 anyways keep it going 🎉
It’s regular poker like this that makes seeing people play $500k pots on Hustler and hitting huge hands so much more unreal. Guys like Mariano and Rampage… Variance has been on their side recently.
Oh yeah it’s definitely very appealing tournaments since you can have massive scores in a single day. Cash has is benefits it’s lower variances and more consistent money compared to tournaments that is way higher variances
I Like that you show every folded hand. I wonder why you are not following through with a barrel bet after a preflop raise when you have an underpair at least say 20% of the time.
I appreciate all the hands. It reminds me to grind. I am very surprised by how much not aggression you are showing post flop. These guys are folding or raising. Best table to bluff.
I think you are doing a great job with your content! Very relatable to the average player... I too live in the San Diego area, but have never ventured out to Jamul. More of an Oceans/7 mile/Nevada player. I know there is a fairly active big 5-10 game on Friday nights that I was invited to so perhaps I will say hello one day. Keep up the great content!@@Pokerbabbo
Like your 3 betting and preflop play I do think you miss some opportunities to bluff post flop. You’d be surprised how much they fold to a flop bet. For dry flops I bet 30 percent pot. Static I go 60-75 percent pot. Some tables are super tight and will just allow it. If I’m at a table with people who don’t like to fold then I play more like you did looking for mostly value..but still I mix a few bluffs in there just to stay balanced. Love this format of showing every hand. Keep striving. And all the best of luck to you.
Thank you! Happy to hear that you liked the vlog. Yeah I usually like to cbet unless it’s a really bad board for my range or super multiway. I think on this vlog I just got a lot of bad boards for my hands. Usually I like to have something going on like backdoor draws to be able to barrel turns and rivers on.
Took the words right out of my mouth. A bit too much checking imo. I also think there was a few hands where you could’ve seen a flop as well, I think nitty games like this can be easier to navigate post flop.
I enjoy your vlog - that you show every hand… Second point - You’re table selection is important; It feels like this was an awful table to make money, they call with garbage as short stacks - preflop, And then then fold on the flops whenever you have strength. Maybe you’re level of play should fair well against action tables
Yeah!! I remember in the moment I felt like I saw something. I didn’t think too much in to it since it didn’t matter much, I was never folding for that price. I saw it after on the vlog once it was already uploaded when I rewatch it on my TV with my wife 😂
This is the tightest table I’ve ever since.Where I live, Houston, it is like 1/3 20 or 25 then 3,4 callers, people call a lot wider even 4,5 off. I played PLO yesterday, I got AA 44 shove all in 500, villain snap call with 3578 all off and endup winning with 2 pairs 😂 How do you make a living play this low stake like this 😂
Definitely not crazy action but the games are really soft that I think you can make a living off of 1-3 at this casino. It helps at this casino since the rake is low for California $5 and they give a good amount of promotions that add up. I’m going to make a little series this upcoming month about making a living playing 1-3
The stacks at that table were nowhere near big enough to make a living solely from poker (however that was a nice 3-way all in you scooped in for $116). Your game is solid and ready to move up, the sooner the better. Good luck with the Vlog, those seem to be the best way to beat the game these days
