Your tutorial on playing super nits with occasional maniac is instructive. Dodging AK not preflopped raised. Folding QQ to a 3 bet. Then, on another hand, calling a large bet with top pair, meh kicker with 9-8 and being correct is amazing poker. Sam, listening to your logical progression upon determining your opponents hand range is one of the reasons I enjoy your vlogs so much. Thanks.
Congratulations Sam 👍! This is the best poker vlog I have ever seen and I seen a lot of it. Absolutely gorgeous landscape beautiful music, interesting poker hands, I really love how you are filming yourself from the distance, no one have done anything like this before. 🍀I wish you good luck 🍀and run good
Holy cow Sam! The editing on this one is crisp! It's amazing seeing how far you've come both in your poker skill and vlogging/filming and editing skill! Great to see it! Thank you for this video!
Where I play here in the US. We have a few Chinese nationals who are regs. They all do the absurd raise pf. But they don't only do it with AA and KK. I've seen them do it with many suited Ax combos like ATs, AJs. And they LOVE to do it with smaller pocket pairs like 44, 55, 66. One other thing I've seen is they NEVER fold when you 3 bet their ridiculous raise sizes. Even if you go all in for 500bb over their 20bb raise. So if I have a hand like TT or above I always just jam and they always call. Sometimes they hit a hand and stack me. But overall I'm ahead taking this line vs them.
Congratulations on your #100! Well done mate. Not to make it about me, but I just uploaded my first poker vlog and can't help myself, so had to share that with you. Btw I got an FT in the 8max at the Sydney Champs, my best result of the series.
@@BluffaloSam only $8.5K for 7th. The tournaments are very top heavy, I think it was $63K up top. Also cashed the Opening Event, but fired multiple $2K bullets into the Main (got expensive) without return
@@BluffaloSam Thanks mate. My vlog is not as informative as yours, more silliness in it...if you find the time, please give it less than 20 minutes of your life and let me know what you think...
When I think someone is massively over bluffing or over aggressive and I'm in a spot similar to the 55 hand where they are likely to give up I like to give them a little nudge. A 10% river lead will make them feel obligated to go for it. Or my secret weapon, cut out chips like you are going for a big bet then check. You know the move you see old guys make when they want a free card. Do that with a nutted hand vs a reg or agro player will push their give ups into bluffs.
T2ss: Villain can easily have hands like Axdd, especially the higher ranks. He was the PFR, had nothing on the flop, and can win unimproved if the hand checks down. When the 5d comes on the turn, he doesn't need to bet you off a most likely inferior hand, so he can check it again. (This is likely how I would play a hand like A9dd, especially against a player like you. 🙂) AKdd absolutely could check back twice (and one player did exactly that in a later session). If this had been a 7c, I think the line makes more sense. AJo (33:15): You have a massive range advantage, not a nut advantage. Villain should call with TT/99 and some 44, and you shouldn't usually be 4betting with any of them. QcJs: I think this river bet is fine. WP. Way to intelligently deal with a bad run of cards!
Your style is the perfect blend of theory and exploitative. I love watching your videos and the quality is getting better and better! How do you remember the hands and stack sizes? Do you record them straight after the hand?
JT/QJ/QT make very good check backs on this flop, as there are a lot of turns that allow them to call very big bets from OOP with, so they should be playing in a similar fashion there
On that QQ vs A5 hand would you consider folding if the 4th queen didn’t show up? The limp call during pre-flop made me think it was a weak player trying to trap with Aces but I probably would’ve taken the same line as you. Congrats on the continuation of good results on this series!
@@DLHarv (It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity To be looking at the board Not looking at the city) Whattaya mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town Bluffalo Sam's gonna be the witness To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness This grips me more than would a muddy old river Or reclining Buddha
Question: Why are there multiple instances of you communicating to the other player what you have at showdown? Idk how fluent you are in the language over there, but why are you not simply showing your hand instead? Anyway, love your editing as usual. Keep up the great content!
The ones I speak to speak English, talking out loud helps my thought process a lot on the river, and sometimes not too often I can pick up a small read
as always, nice vlog. curious, what are your next goals for poker following the end of this trip? are you going to become a poker pro? or go back to your day job but continue to play medium-high stakes?
