I watched the first, and look forward to watch the second one (DL now). Thank you very much Johnny Everypot, this stuff is pure gold for me!

THIS made me LOL.

can someone please re upload it @ rapidshare or a different site ?? i always have problems dling with megaupload i hate it T_T

hi , i will transfer the vid to you over instant messenger if you have one. PM me with your IM name.

Thanks Johnny, your videos helped me a lot to get back on track. I've been beating NL50 for ~4PTBB over 35k hands, but I've been running 20/11.5, trying to see a lot of cheap flops in LP and trying to break ppl, but your videos reminded me of how easy it actually is to scoop up all the deadmoney. Was more "lag"ish than tagish and I probably missed out on a lot of profitable raising spots and let others exploit me.

Running 19/13 today and it feels great. Obviously I still am picking my spots to see some cheap flops, call some raises IP etc since I'm somewhat confident about my postflop play. But I feel a lot less exploitable now, reraise blind steal attempts against me with more confidence (And have yet to get called over 1200 hands today, lol) and generally have a lot more fun heisting all the dead moniez. Also, I used to limp way too much in EP/MP with PPs and raising them more, like you do, is probably a lot better.

I hope you can sort out your problems, get on a heater.. and post some more videos :>

Haven't had internet access since this was posted unfortunately but here are the comments I had:

That first hand is so disgusting, I don't know if I get away from it. Probably a nice fold tohugh

At around 8 minutes to click the fold button with q/6s otb before anyone has entered the pot, do you normally not steal with this?

lol at time running out with the 15 outer

why fold q/9 on the cut off?

would you really have gone all in vs the 16/14

Pretty hilarious when you talk about how the fish give you trouble and then right afterwards you get a/k vs his aa, they always have the nuts when you get a good hand in my experience

when you 3 bet with a/k and the guy has a/j why chedck the flop? Do you really expect him to bluff with qq/kk there?

Slightly offtopic, but do you people install the stupid megaupload toolbar to be able to download stuff? I seem to never be able to download. I'd like to see the video, but I hate installing useless **** on my PC. Is it at least clean? Does it do anything bad?

it comes with some sort of spyware i believe thats why i dont want to dl that

what r ya talkin about? no need any toolbars... just write in the code and download it

hey man, nice vid. I've watched the first 20 minutes or so and now I'm off to grind, I'll watch the rest soon. One hand in particular raised some questions

At around 8:45 in the lower right you raise 2 limps from CO with 35s. BTN cold calls and one of the limps calls. Flop is 964, giving you an open-ender, and you c/f. If we are raising with 35 I don't see how we could possibly c/f this flop. I would definitely be betting and likely shoving the turn.

I'm basically the nl100 player you described at the beginning. I am pretty strong pre and on the flop, but my turn and river play could use a lot of improvement. When you isolate or steal with a SC type hand, what sort of things are you looking for? In my experience, taking it down preflop should not really be something we expect. Are you just hoping to get it HU, and you will almost always shut down if it is multiway? I guess I am sort of stuck in not being able to do much with these hands other than play them in a way I'd play a really big hand, and hope to gain as much FE as possible. So yeah, what sort of considerations do you take into account?

also, do you usually play higher than 100? I don't think I've seen you on stars nl100 at all unless your SN is different.

This isn't really what didactic means AFAIK

at about 17:30 you are dealt 88 in the sb, the game has quickly gotten down to 4 handed and the 16/10 TAG whom you say is new (i.e. you do not have history with asides from hands this session) opens for 3.5X in the cutoff (effective button). You 3 bet him, and then comment that you will be getting it in should he 4 bet.... why?

You have only 3 bet him once (at this point), does that just make you assume he is going to spaz 4-bet you light the next time you 3bet him? 88 is not really a great hand to be taking to the felt imo, even in a 4 handed game against an aggressive player whom is 115 bbs deep, I just think that without history it's not going to be profitable to get it in so light against villain in this spot, you'd have to really know he is one to often 4bet light, and without history we can't really make that assumption can we? it's just a generalisation because from your 200 hand sample you think he plays the same as you do and thus realises this is a spot where you can 3bet him with a wide range and come accordingly come over the top with air as well as strong hands...

maybe this is a standard spot but that piece of information certainly suprised me

I felt like it was a thin spot, the pot is 14bb, I am sandwiched in between two unknowns with 56 and 72bb. A c bet of 10 bucks is reasonable there, but my equity is really bad against any hand that continues, and this flop hit their ranges pretty well. If I get raised, I have to bitch fold, if I get called I have to try to double barrel out a short stack with likely 5 hi.

Interesting spot, I just felt like it was marginal considering I'd be lost in the hand if anyone continued, and I felt it pretty likely one of them connected with the 964 suited flop.


When I steal with those hands, I am looking to do four things -

A - Steal the dead money right there
B - Iso one player, particularly a bad player, and cbet win.
C - Get one+ callers and flop
D - Widen my ranges, to obscure my holdings in raised pots and make me look more LAGgy than reality.

I am not a big fan of cbetting into multiway pots with air, unless the scenario seems like a very solid one to do so.

And I usually play 200nl, some 400. I have played some 100nl lately due to a downswing. I usually play on Full Tilt and Cake, you wouldn't have seen me much on stars.

The opponent's stats were very indicative of a 2+2er TAG style, and I had searched him and noticed he was 10 tabling. My plan for 88 was not a standard play, I had raised him up a few times already, one was perhaps before I started recording. I think he had folded 2-3 hands to my 3bets already, and knew I was playing very aggressively (22/20 in the video).

Generally when a table breaks down, certain players become aggressive and try to pick up a few pots before the table splits, this is how I imagine I appeared.
My position and circumstance for the 88 3-bet look very fishy, esp considering my aggression previously. I feel that he would four bet a range that favors a shove on my part. The lightest parts of his 4bet range will fold to my shove, the middle parts I fare ok against, and if he has 99-AA it is kind of a cooler four handed and the shove will help my metagame image anyways if I play him regularly.

zeneus is hilarious
