Villain seemed tight and his stack was an awk size...no plan for postflop looked good and I felt I was behind his range, so I opted to fold

Very nice, ty. Great explanations.

One quick question. Around 49:00--50:00 or so, you raise AQo from the BTN with two limpers or so and get one caller. Flop comes AKx, villain checks, and you say "I'm checking it back... No, he doesn't fold to cbets often enough and make a decent cbet/value-bet." Can you explain your reasoning here?

Also, you flop many sets, dude!

EDIT: I mean, I understand that you bet because he will call with worse but why was your first reaction to check behind?

I'll check, but I think that my read at the time was that he was somewhat aggro and would fold to my cbet, but would fire at me when checked to. Then I saw his fold to cbet was lowish and opted to get value that way instead.

out of sync over here and can't make out a single # on the screen. Had to shut if off.

will people who aren't having issues please discuss what codecs they have?

I not a computer person so I don't know how to check what codecs I have.

But the vid was good for me. Was only able to get through half of it, though, and look forward to get to the other half this weekend.

I don't know camtasia is weird. Quicktime only gave sound but no pic. Windows Media Player with ffdshow+Haali media splitter (which usually plays everything) also only gave sound but no pic. I had to fire up Linux: Kaffeine didn't play it, either, but on VLC and MPlayer did it work without probs

TYVM, lagomatic!!

i use the divx codec but it made me download some tscc codec to watch it

cool cool sofocused. That should also help other people. LOL@myself as I watch this vid. Man, I do make a lot of weird noises...wtf?

First off thanks great vid.

DISCLAIMER First off i suck at poker but just somethings i thought about.

Also, my eyes suck so i can really see the all the stats u have on villians so that is surely influencing your play but i cant see it.

What are you considering as a high fold to c-bet % on a player you want to iso? Just from watching this vid i think i am isoing way lighter maybe way lighter than i should be.

In the begining you choose to limp behind with Axs a bunch after 1 limper is this standard? Also you choose to limp with K7s when folded to you in SB I am thinking raise>call>fold. maybe?

I noticed you chose to 2 barrel against good players only. Why is that? I am sure my thinking is wrong but if we get called on flop by one of these players does this not tell us they have at least a fairly decent hand? Does a 13/3 guy really peel flop with air? Or should our turn bet be telling them there 2nd pair or TP weaker kicker is no good?

20:00 you have 54s flop top 2 and just flat call flop. why not raise flop? Board is drawy no A, FD, SD or like 66+ is ever folding here. I doubt guys is donking with like QJ or something and that seems like the only hand that we do not want to raise and have fold.

24:00 Q9o OTB EP limper any reason not to ISO? Is that just way to loose.

25:00 A9o you discussed it but not sure you good enough times on that river to call. I think raise says he has at minimum the K and we cant even beat that.

28:00 TT i think i fold to here. you are getting only 10 to 1 to set mine basically if you call its going to be had to continue on most boards if you dont hit set.

55:00 22 shorty raises 2.5x, 40/10(full stack) guys flats, plus you may get overcallers as well, you fold. Why? are we just not likely to ever get payed off by the 40/10 guy if we hit? Then like a minute later you have 88 a shorty raises a guy with like 35BB flats and you call. What is the difference here 88's better higher pair value?

62:00 KK 7/6 guy limps(50bb deep) you iso flop comes all low cards you bet he c/r and you put him all in. i know this is standard due to stack size and board. But how do you play this if he is 100bb deep? Peel flop and re eval on Turn or just let it go agaist someone so tight?

67:00 AK UTG min raises. you make 1.20 seems like alot. why? Then you do not c bet all low card flop.. You just assuming he never folds any pair here? and we dont mind not folding out like AQ or whatever?

not done watching yet why are u setmining oop against a half stack at around 14 mins where u get coolered by QQ?

sorry for double post im doing this as im watching u only c bet half pot on the AKK flop with AJ at 33 mins. Why wouldnt u pot pot I mean if he has Kx he is raising u on flop or turn. And if he has Ax he may call u down for 3 streets which is v good. The only hand your losing too when u pot pot shove is AQ. I feel like going half pot half pot is just losing so much value you cant shove river either. So on the river if he calls ur like betting half pot again...?=/

ok im done watching fish:

Three comments
1)gf sounds sexy
2)nice video
3)I fold KK because when 2 ppl call 1 of them is set mining and if ur not going fold than shove because by calling it puts u into such a ****ty spot vs the reg when he shoves. You have to call him with probably 2 outs very bad spot thats me though




TRIPLE POST SORRY SORRY =/

Heya Johnny!

If the table is loose and passive I'm gonna be limping suited aces and small pockets because (and this is just my opinion) these hands play very well multiway and my IO are huge if I catch a nut draw or a nut hand. If I iso here, we're likely HU or 3 ways and a small suited ace really isn't good for that, imo.

Though not always successful, I try to 2 barrel good cards against players who are thinking about my holding as well as their own. Most fish don't care about what I'm repping so 2barreling a scare card isn't nearly as effective. Also, since the better players are more apt to take notice, they're more likely to label me as a fish and pay me off big later on.

The only hand around 20:00 I found was where I steal 5h4h OTB, get called and then potted into on a 3h 4d 5d board and I raised pot there. Are you sure it's around that time frame?

Q9o I probably just folded because it's a marginal hand and I was involved in and discussing the A9o hand (which, in retrospect, might be a fold)

TT hand IS marginal, but I'm getting 15-1 here, not 10-1. It's an .80 call and we're roughly 120BB deep with villain. At 10-1 it's a much tougher call.

22 hand: PFR is only 25 deep. While there's a deep player in the pot, my experience has shown me that the most likely scenario is that the PFR cbets and donk folds. (If I had a read that he never folded postflop, I'd probably call there.

88 hand is marginal as well, but this time the raise is smaller and our hand does have some value on its own. Also (something I didn't mention) was that the players behind in scenario 2 were much looser and thus it was likely we could end up with a large field, which is awesome if we hit out set. When situations are marginal, sometimes very small things will sway me one way or the other.

Full stacked with the KK hand at 62:00 it'd be tougher, obviously and mostly dependent on how observant I thought villain was. I look pretty loosish at that table and if I think villain thinks I'm spazzy, I'm probably getting it, figuring there are enough smaller OPs to make it +EV. However, if I was running 12/8 or so, I think it'd be a call on flop (though not necessarily a good one) and a turn fold. I need a strong read for that though.

3bet with AK was large to set up a good SPR for my hand on the flop and make villain overpay if he was gonna set-mine me OOP. Flop check is because villain is never folding an OP here, but once he checks turn, it's likely that he has missed overs and I can fire with a much better success rate. Also, if we hit an A or K, we can get more value from a hand we dominate that would've folded to cbet.

Greg, howdy!

with 22 hand I'm getting more than 20-1 IO on the call...it's pretty standard, imo. Bet is small on paired board with AJ because I want to encourage calls from PPs that might see the bet as weak. Also, I'm not really interested in building a big pot OOP in this spot.

In the KK hand, I agree with shoving flop and I think in the vid, I had miscalced the SPR in my head and was contemplating folding if the reg shoved.


I hope this answers your questions!

Thanks for reply.

Yeah i am a moron. For some reason I thought you didnt raise flop.

It's cool I agree that flatting that flop would be mega gross

i couldn't watch it before but i downloaded the tscc codec and it worked.

nice vid!

Very nice vid! The 'weird noises' you make add to the entertainment value of the vid. Plz make another one asap

Also, lol at the "now all professionality is gone by now" comment when the gf joins all that very serious internet bussinezz going on

LMAO kflip. Glad you enjoyed the vid! She likes messing with me when I do stuff like that, but I love her to pieces.

Is there any chance someone could host the video somewhere else? For some reason it refuses to download for me
