I moved from 1/2 to 2/5 last December. A video like this is very helpful, showing all of your hands. It affirms my play and that I am playing very similar to you and folding most of the same hands. I have been winning more than losing and I have been able to build my bankroll up quite a bit higher than it was.
I’m no expert on bomb pots but I think the prevailing wisdom is that when you have a pretty hard lock on one half of the board and not much on the other you want to bomb chips in to not chop if the other board is dynamic. I could be wrong though since I know some people have been studying bomb pots a lot and that was early speculation.
Yeah I think that’s usually a good strategy. With the KK I would have just prefer to try and get more money in the middle specially in a spot that I can scoop. I would have liked to lead turn
@@Trephining professionals playing aggressive lines against each other.. for whatever reasons, to make the other guy leave the table or to fold more in the future, maybe even just for fun
Same here. It’s possible that villain had AA/KK/QQ and slow-played the flop. But I just can’t see him also slow-playing the turn when it put 3 cards to a straight plus a flush draw on the board. (If I were hero I would have also bet my straight on the turn hoping to get called by AK/AQ or the aforementioned big pairs.) With so much uncertainty, in a pot that was played so passively post-flop, I think you have to call there. Now, if villain had shoved… different story.
Thank you! I’m still happy with the fold in that door. Shared it with a player that crushes bigger stakes than me and he liked the fold. What he would have done differently is bet smaller on the river
Obviously we don’t know the player, any history, or how they were playing that night… but that’s a call I think you have to make for only $150 more. You only have to be ahead less than 1/3 of the time and your small bet on the river looks pretty exploitable. I might be wrong but I’m not gonna cap his range to just full houses and nut flush. Again, I don’t know the history with this player but I disagree with your assessment that his raise is rarely a bluff at the $2/$5 level. I think most good $2/$5 players are going to raise there instead of just calling when you lead out for less than half pot.
Same -- I think there are enough value combos of worse that can basically min-click that river. Felt like could have been like a 45s hand or something. I don't think any hand that makes a boat on river allows turn to check thru. Combine all of that with being given an insane price, it's a definite call and just gotta live with sometimes there will be hands that beat you, but it's justifiable to call.
Nice vlog. I also play 2/5 200 bb deep at my local casino (bigger stake available), but my tabkes seem a little tougher than yours. I have a couple of question if you want to answer: 1) How many hours/days do you play in a month? 2) What winrate (bb/hour) do you think is achivable at yours tables for a very good player? And what is your actual winrate (if you want to answer)? Personally playing around 100 hour a month with a winrate between 8,5/9 bb hour. As i said my tables seem a bit toughter than yours with always 3 very good reg (remaining players beeing a mix of bad regs, casuals and fishes). My goal is to achive a winrate of 12/13bb/hour. Not sure if it can be done or not. Thats why i asked. Thanks for the answer and for your nice vlogs.
I noticed in your videos you fold a lot of lower pocket pairs. Mostly when you're out of position. Could you please provide your reasoning on this? Sets can often have huge payouts but is folding statistically the best long term plan?
Awesome content. We play very similar so I get a lot out of it. Tell me why you don’t call 65 of diamonds in about the middle of the Vlog. I called that all the time and I want to know why I shouldn’t.
I really like your full session vids as one learns a lot from what is NOT played as well as what is played and raised. HOWEVER, I have one comment........Please talk a lot slower, ok if you are familiar with the US accent but for those of us from other countries it is almost impossible to understand/comprehend what you are saying. Just saying....... Kepp up the great work.
Is there typically a logo? I never knew what the heck he painted, just noticed it was some combination of black and white and that it would change occasionally. Has he ever done an up close shot of his nails and/or talked about what he does witht them, and the 'why' behind it? To me I'd likely get tired of the task of doing it after a while unless there was some really cool or sentimental type of reason for doing it. Maybe those are how his gang flies their colors? lololol
@@WINALLNITE Funnily ennough, lots of the poker books/literature around in the late 90s and early 00s advised that in LHE - Limit Hold Em, not no-limit - you preferred multi-way pots with your suited connectors. The main reasoning was to get suitable [that pun was accidental, I swear, I just noticed it as I was midway through typing the word] pot odds for whichever draw you might wind up pursuing, whether OESD or flush. There was always words of caution about the reverse implied odds of still getting beaten, as in over-flushed, paired board giving opponent a boat, or making the low end of a straight and losing to the high end.
Stop checking the turn so much. I suck at poker and won’t claim to be better than you in any way, but, you have to use people’s need to see the river. The AKKX bomb pot is the perfect example, you would have had so much more value if you bet the turn. I watch a lot of your videos and I am learning to be more selective like you before the flop, but, I really think you are losing value with how much you check and it checks around.
curious what the real point of this comment is... which letters of the alphabet should one strive to be as a poker player? probably not an IDGAF player or a YOLO player, maybe a GTFO? that sounds like it would go along with being aggressive and getting other players out of the pot. try to avoid SOS. TNT is fun on occasion but might convert to ER via EMT. requiring CPR is not a good sign. dont want your bankroll to go AWOL, lololol.
@@Pokerbabbo haha, shots fired, i'm only about 35% of the way through though, so I think I have yet to see what the "nit city" and the 'small pocket pairs' critical comment is really about, we shall see
