at 40mins on table 4 vs SawatdKhrap who is running 12/8, you 3 bet AQo against a pretty tight player, if he calls any you guys flop an Axx board, what would you do in that kind of situation. I haven't learned to 3 bet light yet, I would be scared to be dominated by AK if he called.
edit: at 46 you said he folds pretty easy to 3 bet so if he did call, what would you do?


i LOLed at 46.

at 48 u limped 44 and u said u don't normally recommend limping with PP, do you usually bet with a low PP or just fold it?


you play very aggressively, especially with your bet sizing on the flop and turn, do you have a % amount you try to bet? i usually do 60-75% and some of your flop bets are 80%+ of the pot size, i didn't really notice how much for turn. doesn't really look like people try to draw flushes/straights against you, i have a problem that people try to draw against me, should my standard bet sizing be around 80% on the flop and how much on the turn?

D/L'ing from megaupload now, thanks for sharing

You pfr with JJ and get one call. Flop is rags like 436 or something. You check "because he's an aggressive player." I don't get that. Why do you need to check to induce a bluff from an aggressive player? If you bet, he'll raise with air a lot and you get more $ into the pot.

If not do a search on 2+2 for full tilt mods and you could be able to find exactly what you want


No worries I will try and do another video without giving too much away

The $6 is kind of a blocking bet, I tried to explain this earlier. I want to bet so that he doesn't bluff me off a better hand because I don't want to call 2 streets and have him value town me when he has a hand like QQ or TT. But after he checks back the turn (a sign of weakness) I could easily have a Kx pair in my hand (which is likely what my hand will appear like to him). By betting I take the initiative away from him, as planned I would def fold to a river raise.

JJ hand the plan was to c/r the flop, I have no issue committing JJ here against a 60bb stack when he is so aggressive. He is probably shipping any top pair hand or 77-TT which we beat. Basically when a player is very aggressive I like to get them to do the betting to ensure I get a bet (out of a bluff or worse hand) when I otherwise wouldn't of.

The raise was to 6x (unusually high) from MP with a short stack calling behind. If I had position (was on the button) and the flat caller behind was a fuller stack I would of called a vast majority of the time.

I don't like calling because we are basically playing a bloated pot out of position heads up (because the short stack isnt giving us enough implied odds even if we do catch trips etc). We are going to be paying more to draw to straights or flushes because if I called the pot was going to be 9$ already.

Just this spot in particular I don't think it is +ev to call.


With AQ: He is MP and isolates a SS utg but folds to 82% of 3bets, my cards here don't really matter as the play alone is going to be so +ev, but when we are called we have position for the rest of the hand. However if he does have AA or KK I think he is most likely going to just 4bet us preflop, AK is about the only hand I see him calling with out of position but I have no problem playing against him with position taking a flop. His range is also filled with hands like 77-JJ which I would say he is folding 100% to 3bets.

I also lolled, but I run good against a short stack for once, what can I say

With 44: The table is very passive so I feel I could get away with limping the hand, (limping turns my hand face up as a low PP or a hand going for a limp / rr) I would normally raise 44 as it is part of my UTG raising range, but if you do not feel comfortable playing a pot with a low pocket pair OOP you can muck that hand utg.

In terms of aggression and cbet %: I cbet fairly high and fairly large depending on board texture, but you will notice my cbets ranged from half pot to full pot (depending on my hand strength, villians stats etc).

You want people to draw against you when you have TP or overpair type hands when they have a flush draw, just try adjusting your cbet sizing based on board texture (wet board, larger bet to deny them the correct drawing odds). You should have no standard sizing, just see what works for you, there is nothing wrong with experimenting. I know guys who only cbet 50% of pot and I know guys who do 90%, I find somewhere in between both works for me


No worries, it appears rapidshare only gives you 10 downloads (I just put it on there because some people have problems d/l from megaupload and complained in my last thread.

I had a question about this hand as well. I was wondering why you decided to float here. I've heard that the general guidelines for floating are to be in position and also having some sort of back-door draw is a bonus too. In this hand, you have neither although there's a chance your 8s are good on this board & if not, you will probably find out on the turn. Could you share your thought process on this hand?

Watching the rest of the vid now. Thanks so much for taking time to do it and sharing it with everyone. Very cool of you.

Pretty standard spot for me to float, he thinks a dry K52 flop is great to cbet (repping ak, kq etc) because I will fold most of my missed hands (mainly consisting of low PP). If villian has a high cbet % esp with a board texture like that he is firing nearly every single hand in his range (ATs+, AJo+, TT, QQ, 55-99).

By flatting the flop my hand could easily look like Kx to him, in which case he slows down on the turn with a hand like those I mentioned in his range.

Hya,

Thanks for the video, downloading now...

I don't think I have had the chance to see your first video, is there a current link on the forums for it somewhere?

Thanks.

Hi.

Watch your back, I´m on to you.....
No really, I´m sometimes a bit weak tight and I really need to get a grip of when to float, check raise etc.
I just started playing FR again after playing 6max for about a year (mixed up with some PLO) and I had this huge downswing so I went back to FR to get a change. Moved up to NL50 playing 6max and I play NL50 at FR as well. But the games are tougher at NL50 than at NL25 and I guess thats why I need your advice.

BTW, I don´t play at FT for the moment, but if we should be seated at the same tables I will most likely tell you who I am. Fair enough ?

Hey Newmanmi, this was a really awesome video. Thanks for posting it

gonna take a look at this

Rapidshare links can only be downloaded 10 times... I have bad luck downloading videos, haha.

Very good Vid Newmanmi.

Impressively solid play.

good stuff again newmanmi!
you reads are just awesome...

make a video with me in it so i can watch me own. especially own u

I do believe I was the one 4betting JQo preflop

Cheers dude, lovin' the new mod

thanks to both of your vids + sweating with RA|\\DOM + some advice in the graph analysis thread, I fixed a lot of leaks and am back happier on my grind. I imitate your style a bit and it has been working nicely.

I watched the video after 50k hands and my downswing was due to moving up but playing bad in general after 35k hands.




you rock newman

Sorry to drag up an old thread.

Love your vid's. Very solid.
I am curious about how well your preflop bet sizing works for you. I have seen a couple people using the min bet on the button but never heard to much feedback on how well it works for people. Currently I am using a 4bb EP + MP1 and 3bb the rest as a open size. Then generally a 4bb+1 to isolate limpers and what not. Do you think your 2bb raise on the button is just as effective as 3bb?
Keep up the good work.

Minraise from the button works terrifically when nits/shorties are in the blinds

Otherwise I favor 3xBB

I defiantly like this option. The only problem I saw with it was that you will get more calls from looser players. However you are not usually stealing super light from the btn with looser players in the blind anyways. I see how this would work incredibly well against SS'ers and nits because they are generally auto piloting anyways.

I really don't mind taking a flop in a 4.5BB pot in position against a loose player with almost ATC

How loose or what type of stats will you be willing to steal with then with almost ATC here and play postflop comfortably?

I assume by 'loose player' we're talking about the typical 35/6/1.0 fish types
