Hey guys,

Sometimes when I post/view hands, it is very hard for me to take it out of the game content. There is of course a certain feeling within the game that is very hard for me to describe while posting a hand. It is not always easy to transmit the momentum that had been going while playing.

Add to that the fact that we only post big pot hands, and we miss the small ones, like am I folding more than I should pre flop? Should I attack limps more often, etc... such question can't be posted as hands, and we sometimes miss them. So I decided to post few videos I made, and get feedback from much better/pro heads up sharks in this forum.

To start they are at 3.50$ Turbo, I will add 7$ soon.
I am basically trying to just play a very solid poker, nothing fancy, just grinding low stakes, to build enough roll, while working on my strategy/adapting in a fast way against different players.

I thank you for your time to review my game.
If you click on vemo, it will take you to full screen mode.

Looking forward to reviewing, but first I just want to say the background music to the video I find hilarious and a bit soothing.

Hahaha yeah that was the 1st video. No more of that later.

I'm not in position to comment but look forward to see your work and what others has to say

Hey,

first of all I want to say, that I play HU hypers, so maybe my advice for 25bb+ might be off.

00:20 - 83s
I would go ahead and x/r here, because I think, that equity of x/r > x/c > x/f. He might check some of his naked Ax, Kx hands otf, but I also think, that he will be cbetting here more than he should (doesn't have to be correct assumption)

00:43 - 43s
I like your play. What I dislike is that it took you 11 seconds to make a very simple decision. This might cost you some of your edge and hourly, too. Hotkeys and betting shortcuts might save you a lot of time.

01:48 - 87s
Just x/f. You have plenty of better hands. I think, I understand what you were trying to accomplish there - you realized that he bet just 1/3 of the pot. But this doesn't neccessarily mean, that his range is weaker. So readless, I would just fold here. And even with some reads, you can use other hands to x/c or x/r here.

02:03 - J3s
Either open or limp. Your opponent plays very low VPIP, so I would play 100 % of hands vs him.

02:54 - J5o
Same as with J3s. I believe you can play this hand better than -0.5bb/100.

04:14 - Q4o
I would bet bigger on the turn. Probably even a pot. I am not sure, whether it is max EV, but he is not folding 8x, Qx, maybe not even KT, KJ... And also, when villain checks back Axx board, I always get suspicious. So you might even get max value out of his Ax slowplays.

05:29 - 86o
I prefer small cbet on such texture.

06:31 - 92o
Limp/minraise.

07:01
Would take a note, so that I know what kind of hands he is limping with.

08:27 - 52s
Just check it back. He might still have a 9x and you don't need much protection. Was this a bluff or super thin value?

08:55 - 83o
If you wanna get creative, you can bet big otr.

Also, you just got a very useful info on villain - because he led w SP otf. This might make his checking range in limped pots OOP rather weak.

09:14 - Q3o
Donk turn, because he will slowdown a lot on such scary turn, but he might still call your bet.

As played, bet smaller on the river.

10:13 - 52o
Call his bet.

10:37 - K4o
Just fold it. Usually when they bet big, it means that they have a big hand (unless you have some sort of a read). Maybe you were thinking - oh, he bets big, he would not play Qx this way.

Also, you block some of his draws and GS: 64, 54. That makes it even a better fold.

And villain was bluffing. I did not expect that.

Anyways, you expect him to probe once and shutdown? Or would you call w Khi twice?

11:44 - Q6o
Vs such a small ISO, I think that calling is good.

12:07 - A6o
Smaller cbet will do the same trick.

12:26 - K8o
If he cbets wide, you might x/c or x/r here. But folding should be alright, too.

12:43 - AQs
Just jam it.

13:35 - QJo
You can get three streets of value here. I prefer small bet otr.

13:45 - A4o
Jam.

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

Gg!

Maybe try to use some free HUD: http://husng.com/content/heads-up-poker-huds

Setting up hotkeys and bet shortcuts might help, too.

Anyways, that is up to you. Good luck at the tables!

What’s your x/r size?

What non-7 turns are you barreling and sizing?

Solid review. Good stuff.

nice1 Vvvvv

but 1st hand 83s on that board i rarely c/r

also OP, maybe start playing HUHYPERS.
awesome guys here who have tons of experience and are smart too much so you would likely get very accurate and quick/simple implementable feedback whatnot.

add to previous post, no c/r 4me up to 25bb eff. not sure whats what when deeper.

do you x/c or x/f?

this is a x/f in GTO I’m almost certain. I’ll run a 75bb sim for it later and post results for defending vs Cbet. of course, x/c or x/r could be better options exploitatively though. I play some turbos and I’m just x/f this particular 8X combo as I don’t think population overcbets here, but I could definitely be wrong.

Against a >half pot Cbet it’s a SNAP fold, as that sizing is going to contain way less pure air imo

ye this 8x is c/f all day long 4me

/// I'd call A9o+ A6s+ 55+ ///

I would x/r 3x otf, and I would not x/r anything bigger than 1/2p cbet.

And on the turn? I freestyle a lot. So tbh, I don't have any plan, I am just trying to figure out which boards are good for bluff raise and which are not.

Tbh, I just started playing my weak draws way more aggressively... But maybe I tend to overdo that.

Anyways, x/f is probably better as you guys said already.

Even my assuption, that ppl overcbet such textures might be way off.

But when I see villain cbetting half pot always, I immediately think, that he is a recreational player (and this doesn't have to be true, right?). It's just that regs get more creative with the sizing imo.

What do you guys think?

And thank you for your nice words.

Btw, is the sim ready already?

I think checking or like 30% river is close. There is a lot of AX in flatting range at 40bb, and some guys massively overcall their AX versus cbets imo. There's also a lot of non-pair combos that can hero check/jam river versus a 30% bet, though I tend to be overly paranoid about this I think.

Here's GTO response for BB facing half pot cbet. I expect if you haven't looked at deeper stack play in GTO, you will be surprised by the low x/r frequency.

The 83s combos that are continuing are clubs and spades, both with about 40% x/r.



And here's flop cbet strategy for SB. I only allowed for a half pot cbet in this case fwiw, but otherwise the parameters are pretty expansive (allows for turn/river overbets etc)





Since most of you play sub 25bb, here's 25bb ~GTO response vs half pot cbet. Again heart/diamond 83 combos always folds.

Wow! Great stuff!!
Thank you so much for your effort and time.

Are those fancy betsizes accomplish anything, what are you trying to do?

Examples: Villain limps at t30, Hero isolate 92. Another one betting 274 into a 360 pot

Yeah and props to HokieGreg for keeping to a high standard

Your video took a ****, re-upload
