You know what beats Pikachu?



Also you look pretty stupid in your avatar iyam

Thanks for the video, will watch later when I have time. Although I prob installed like 3 viruses from clicking the fake "download" buttons before I clicked the tiny one that was correct lol.

Haha, I aim 2 plz, 20 mins of procrastinating well spent

Yeah, that Giev got game!

-----------------

Enjoyed the vid, shame the stats didn't show but I got alot out of your note-taking template & strategy / how you build reads. Good work

Avatar isn't a picture of him, it's a running joke at the uNL subforum

trolololol

"...and I get 3-bet by a Russian guy..."

WHERE'S THE 4-BET?!?!?

lol tbh I expected an asian-sounding voice (possible? idk) because you're asian (no racism intended, me too) but I was pretty surprised when the first thing I heard on the video was a british accent. Awesome btw, and I lol'd vv hard when you said "dickswinger" in said accent lol.

and rhydon, yea im mad

bout the 25 min mark, you raise Krahv's SB donk bet into MP PFR and BTN caller with AQ on AT6ss for value then fold to a 3bet. You said in game that it was unlikely he would donk/3bet with a draw (which, even tho you probably had no reads, is pretty ehh regardless) - what do you expect him to donk/call? Comments in hindsight?

rest was solid, ty for your time and efforts

lol same, was kinda surprised hearing that british accent, dunno what i expected, though prob racist ban etc.

At ~7:50, the KQs hand. While i agree that squeezer's range is strong and probably doesnt even have any bluffs considering hes oop vs that neville guy, do u think its rly bad to call the 3bet anyway, as i think neville is going to call most of the time anyway and with him being in the pot, squeezer is gonna be very honest post flop?

At ~32:10 u open A9o from btn and neville calls from bb, then u pretty much snap folded with gutshot and 2 overs? Is peeling at least one street bad? He didnt seem to be too aggressive.

Also wanna hear about the AQ hand that loldonkaments mentioned.

Very nice note taking, prob gonna steal that template Knowing your SN should of scanned the lobby today looking for u, prob could have found out my leaks for free

Thanks for the video!

Did you like the vid?

Actually Pikachu constantly shocks the **** out of Ash.
Pikachu also doesn't go in his pokeball cause Ash is his bitch.



<3

Yeah it's been a problem with my camtasia for a while, I really need to find a way to fix it if I ever make more videos.

No problem! Thanks!

He knows



I just couldn't be bothered. It's gonna be like marginally +ev if that and he might just jam because "lol it's my first 3bet how can he have anything?!"

hahaha. I'll try to put on a more fobby voice next time.



I just assumed that 25NL-ers were passive.
I also assume donkbets are relatively weak until proven that they're not.
I think he can bet/call a bunch of draws/Ax

In hindsight, I'm still happy with my flop raise but flatting is also fine. I just thought that I can valuebet much more easily in position by raising.

KQs hand: It was literally his first hand at the table I think, so his HUD hadn't popped up yet. I really didn't want to get into a reverse implied odds situation and it's not like I stack the fish 100% if I flop well. I think if positions were reversed between me and the fish, I'm calling 100%. Or maybe if I'd opened BT, fish called in SB and he sq'd the BB.

A9o hand: He hadn't donked before, and was c/c a lot. I don't think I really have fold equity and I wasn't gonna try to bluff a fish off a pair. I mean, floating and raising are both okay, but when someone's giving up on so many pots it seems more likely he has a hand when he donks.

You're welcome Quite a few people have mentioned that they liked my template, so I'm pleased. ......Definitely should have patented it



Thanks for all the comments and love on the video guys. It wasn't anything fancy but hope this helps your game somewhat

anything to listen to your delicious sexy asian voice, love.

just finished watching the video i have a few comments that haven't been addressed:

~22min - you call a c-bet with AKo on 865dd no backdoor draw, seems questionable given positions

~35min - 3-way 3b pot with ATcc, it seems to me like inxdeec never has better than what he showed up with - once he checks twice, do you shove river if the fishier guy had folded?

~39min - you have AA v Hinxstein, if he really does just spaz with abandon its ok, but imo k66 and k74 are way different boards (he can easily have like 7x/4x/56/gutshots that he might like to bluff with) + the fact that he just got caught a few hands ago makes me want to flat flop. thoughts?

overall very solid vid though, it's easy to see why you're doing as well as you are. keep it up! : )

oh btw, is your notes template a stars feature or is their some other program you're using to do it?

video file is .exe? i have a mac. how do i watch??

mine is mp4

AK: I called *because* of positions. Villain's UTG range misses that board often, and my A high is actually best some decent % of the time. Plus the board can run out in ways that he'll c/f or barrel the cards that hit me.

ATcc: I think that we don't need to shove river to take him off the hand but yeah I'd bet river there.

AA: Prob correct. I mean flatting is good there too lol.

Thanks!

You mean what program do I use to keep the notes in? HEM's notes

Be careful, don't click on the wrong download links. It should be an mp4...

Cool, I didn't know you could set a template like that. Note-taking is prob the weakest part of my game, and a lot of it is because I can't be bothered to write a useful not while playing 10-12 tables, but a template would help solve that. So thanks!

Ohh right. No I didn't set a template into the program, I just have a file of it saved in notepad and then copy and paste it whenever needed. You could also just paste it into everyone's notes when you have spare time at the tables (if you're card dead or something)

ahh ok, time to e-mail the HEM guys and get that added ; )

I think you're missing the point you fish

BACK OFF STIAN. HUNG-CHAN IS MINE.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make/post it. Hope to see more in the future

ye I just finished watching it and its really good imo. It seems you and the other winning SSNL/MSNL players all have something in common.



oj you all seem to be relatively relaxed in your decision making process. Like, its just like "ye..... whatever" lol instead of me "omg omg omg is this so wrong lol"

its sort of taught me that poker isnt a robotic game. instead of thinking, for eg. I cant call with ATs in the MW 3b pot because I will stack myself on and ace high board (******ed ino) you were like, "if i flop a draw we can just go with it and ill consider calling once or twice and then folding on the ace hi board" (obv villain dependant)

so ye, gg and ty

I think this was one of the more carefully thought out hands that I've played recently, and was kinda interesting as to what river size I should bet.
Though it looks like I just barrelled off and got lucky that villain is a station, here are my thought processes on the hand when we get to the river [tl;dr]:


Not sure if I'm overthinking it or if villain is actually a station. I'm going to give him credit for thinking all this since he does play MSNL though.

All in all, one of my favourite hands that I've played in a long while.

Had my best day in a while too so.. Time for a happy dance methinks.

Remember mine and toms deal!
