Kato, your poker is always impressive and entertaining- but IMO having only 1 bullet leaves a player vulnerable once you're forced to play short-stacked, changing your familiar playstyle. I prefer topping off anywhere between 25-50% down. Otherwise, set-mining and draws get all messed up, plus you lose folding power of your bets. (FWIW, I would have played that set exactly the same)
Kato that’s how it goes sometimes! I played with you a few weeks ago and you were nothing but extremely nice and respectful and a decent human being. Very rare to find at the poker table. Lol. Love the vlogs and wishing you nothing but continued success and prosperity my guy!
Don’t feel bad Cato, this past week has been a bit of a disaster for me too. I hate the downswings. The upswings are much more fun! Better luck to us both!
Hate the runner runner flushes that hit when I flop a set. My two cents … if u flat the turn, fold the river when the flush hits. Or, jam the turn and get him to run it twice.
Love what you do. Got to say I think you have to put pressure on the turn with the set. That is also the place to get value. If river is a brick you're not getting big call and you need to charge people to get there. Hey, we've all done it but I'm going to always want to force the action on the turn there
sucks to goose egg a session, we've all been there. if i had some money to spare i would put it in your main event action, love the positive mind set, it can take a person a long way
On the set of 7s hand you missed a chance to get it heads up with middle position buy raising to 300 since the board was fairly connected. The flat allowed the big blind a chance to catch a card which helped him big time. Had you raised he most likely folds the bad ace suited and you get heads up with the middle position. The other option and it's a bit unorthodox would be to 3 bet squeeze on the button preflop and set your self to win the uncontested 100 in the pot
GG Beast!!! I'm sure you're a winning player, so variance gets us all occasionally. I read some comments and agree you played the 7s fine. I'm shipping you the run good for the WSOP ME right now!!!!!!!! Good luck brother.
Hey poker beast. Just got done with a session at 4 am. Turned 20 into 4hundred lost a cooler cashed out 3. Hit 2 straight flushes max value. Idk pu.ped u posted a video to wind down to
Since you limped pre, it would be very hard to represent a King on the hand where you had Ac2c. If you were to put in a raise as a bluff at any point youre repping a very narrow range, basically 4’s full is the only real value hand you will have limp/calling utg. You wont have AK, KQ, KJ, KK, JJ, QQ, AJ, AQ, and probably not even A10 with a limp/call pre. So I like giving up. Also, btw, I’m sure a lot of people may say that the limp/call pre is bad. I think limp/calling pre is ok, a small percentage of the time and I think A2 suited is a fine hand to do it with. Small pairs can also be limp/calls in weak games. Now if you are going to occasionally limp call from utg, I would include some very strong hands that you can back raise with. Its a little cheesy, any player that knows anything knows the limp/raise pre is super strong, but not everyone is a good player, and you’ll be surprised how much action you can get. On the 77 hand, you just have to raise turn and hope for the best. Even if you just call and a blank comes on the river, I feel like the other opponents will be pretty suspicious and not pay off a bet on the end anyway.
I played 1-3 poker. And I lost $1500. I made a come back, and got my money back. It's not as easy as you make it looks. It's hard to play with a limited bankroll. Even 100x big blind it not enough.
You were more than likely getting called on any bet size with the set if you don't check turn. Very few if any are calling preflop/flop with those hands to fold on turned equity. FPS (fancy play syndrome) is a Froggy specialty. I've been finding less and less spots in Jamul's player pool that require it. Also, be aware of your bluffing tendencies on turn and sizing so you become more balanced in that spot if you start shutting down after one bet. It's easy to fall in to the weak play style because 95% of them are doing it. Be unique.... Nice transparency -Froggy
Sums up my whole poker career and I’ve only been playing for 2 years but i swear you have to savor the moments where you’re on the right end of a cooler
Flatting the turn was… bad. Especially multi-way. Sure he might’ve still called an all in rip by you with the ace and the nut flush draw but it’s still the right move. Also raising the $30 flop bet to $100-125ish isn’t a terrible idea either and the A2 is likely never there
Agreed. I can totally understand fearing Aces or Kings, but with another player in the pot, and the chance to cool off AK or AQ, you gotta put in a raise, preferably on the flop. A turn raise looks really strong, and is most likely turning your hand face up. A flop raise would give AK or AQ a chance to pounce on you, while also clearing out the field. There's alot of players in on the flop, so thinning the field and protecting your equity is also important. But...we aren't perfect, and its easy for me to comment from my phone. Nice job on the videos and for cranking them out so quickly!
@@ryanbachatarockstar honestly at that point after that turn card, turning your hand face up probably isn’t bad. Hell if it was heads up and I sent a guy into the tank in that spot I might even just say “if you got an ace and the flush draw you have about 20% equity” just to protect my own equity lol
think the fold with a-2 suited was the correct play, if you were going to go for it you shouldn’t have checked- a check raise after checking the flop and betting tiny on the turn doesn’t make a whole lot of sense as a story imo
Oh boy, you can tell how quickly your opponent grabbed his chips that he has made his flush. But you probably lost the least amount of chips since he had a Ace, so unlikely that he is going to fold anyway.
I don't think it made a difference on the set of 7s hand. If you raised the $90 bet just 3x to $270 (a raise of $180) I don't think many players will fold top pair and the nut flush draw. You called $175 on the river. At worst you basically broke even. If you raised and still got called you'd be calling even more on the river. Of course this is being results oriented. In general you should've raised.
You 100% lost the minimum with 77 vs A2c. He's not folding the flop for a bet, and never folding the turn with top pair / nut flush draw. Not in that game with those stacks. The only way you lose less is nit folding the river, but there are too many 2 pair combinations you beat.
You let him get there on the flush. I learned from those situations especially if there is a straight and flush draw. I would of put him all in before the river.
Your play with your set was really weak, you were begging to be drawn out on. There were so many cards that would kill the action on the river, getting the money in on the turn is a way better play.The only person you were trapping was yourself. Sorry, but with play like that, you will be out of the World Series before you know what hit you. I hope for your sake you start playing better.
@@richardt7132 It's not trapping when it's done nearly every time, bro. Trapping is used when the opponent is overly aggressive. None of these people seemed aggressive at all.
Not sure what happened with you bro. You used to be a crusher and even played on the Live stream at the Lodge. Now you're looking like a beginner. Maybe you haven't played poker in a while?
Everyone is learning here. No one is an expert. One player is good at one level and the other is good at another. If you can give him tips about what his leaks could be so that he can fix them and improve, it would be great and everyone can appreciate it. You telling him that his play was bad adds no value at all.
@@pavan1150 Bro, you are talking to THE Diego Banda. 0 time WSOP champ, 0 bracelets. negative money in his Micro games. You need to watch who you're talking to, bud.
@@diegobanda704 I completely agree with you on giving them bad pot odds. Sure thing, there is scope for improvement and the hand could definitely have been played in a different way, especially on the turn. But this guy is not an expert, he might have started out not too long ago to know it all. Besides he took the initiative to make volgs about his game and posting his mistakes too. So, just pointing out that his game was bad is not ideal in my opinion. However, everyone has the right to express their voice, but dude, poker is something in which many people try and fail. They go through a lot of shit just to become comfortable at the table. So, I don't like it when someone discourages other players in any form. BTW, I meant no offense to you in any form with my comment.
