The impressive part of this is not the winning without looking at his cards... it's the fact he won so many hands he went in all in while behind. It's like watching someone win a big scratch off.
Don't know much about poker but I think this video was maybe the most instructive video regarding strategy and how to play. When there's no cards confusing you, you end up understanding much more what you talk about. Some haters might say that was a bad play but hey you won and as said gave a good insight to one strategy. Thanks!
Sooo you chopped on 2 all-ins, and won like 5 others? This was pure horse$ luck. Your early strategy with position and whatnot was spot on, but the later "shove" strategy was all luck in this game.
I won't be trying to win a tournament without looking at my cards, but I will take note of his strategy. I suppose we should all be taking position, stack sizes, and betting patterns into account.
Pretty sure people are missing the point. He is proving the point that you do not need to know your whole cards in every situations. It's optimising this similar strategy whilst knowing your holdings. I'm sure he isn't doing this on a regular basis to make profit.. he is making the point.. damn chill GUYIZ.
I can't decide whether I'm impressed or not. To me it was just incredibly lucky. In the beginning his strategy didn't work out at all - he did not steal many pots. In the end he just shoved all-in, got called mostly and won with crappy hands and the help of god. Seriously, how can you win with 2-squadouche. I tell you: Full House when the board comes 99928. With guys like him you can't play real poker since nobody would shove this shit, and you don't expect him to do it. AQs is a good hand. He made the correct call to me. Unlucky he played against a blind playing guy.
I think this is that crazy example in poker where it's actually easier to play against players that know what they're doing. I fear this would not work on a low blinds game where there are unpredictable players at the table.
I did this in 1/2 and 2/5 but with preflop raises/calls only. I have gotten consistently in the green with by looking postflop. My goal is to catch them off guard and pressure them.
+Pulse AU Man this helped me alot, mainly because, when you where to act, you said the "right solution" for your own situation right when it happened. And that saved me alot of replay time, and up and overs. :D Thx for the video Pulse AU!
Cool! I do this sometimes to practice memorizing my hands, since double-checking cards in live games is a huge tell. I can't wait to check out this vid. GL 2016!
To me this lends to the idea that certain people are destined to win as soon as they sit down. That's why you always see semi bluffs getting called by good players, an the good player is happy they made the right read, but then sad because they get sucked out on the river 5 4 outta 5 times
41:37 Oh my god, yes KQs WAS a good call there. You have to, because math, keep showing up with totally not GTO hands, and ANYONE would adjust immediately and start never ever ever EVER folding KQs against you.
Hi Pulse Au, can i ask u something? On the bubble, you pushed random hand and he called with AQs, of course it was wrong move from him. But i was really likely that he would call AQs because you surly knew that he wasnt reg and he probably doesn t know icm on the bubble etc. Just look at comment from theDeadlyMedic and a lot of likes on his comment so it means on this stakes are a lot of fishes. If you consider that you play on micro stakes and they are fishes, is it not correctly to fold from sb? Because reg would have called about 3% hands but fish would have called a wide range, and wouldn t it damaged you both? In favor of the other two players? On high stakes are surly players that know icm but on micro stakes are only few regs. Please answer if possible
i'll answer in his stead... NEVER fold from the small blind if blinds are so high and stacks so low, unless you know for sure the other guy is gonna call alot, he happenned to have AQ in this spot which indeed many player would call cuz they think they're playing a cashgame or something and they just need to gain alot of chips, but he's still gonna fold like 90% of his hands and you just gain so much each time everybody folds
I am playing a 9 hand sit and go without looking on ACR. just a $3.00 buy-in , I just put some post-it notes in front of screen. will post my results after game. See if I win the challange!
41:35 But he definitely realized what you were doing, rasing loosely to determine this is your bubble. So he thought KQs would be ahead of most of the rang you would shove with. Why was that not a good call?
People are criticizing him on the fact that he thought the AQ was a bad call, but on the bubble, i believe folding AQ is the correct play. No hand is drawing dead preflop, so why would he risk his tournaments life when one of the two other players are almost guaranteed to get out first? Of course AQ is ahead right now, but the chips likely to be gained aren't as significant as the chips possibly lost. ICMs and in depth thinking make the AQ a clear fold
they'll probably allow less spots in which to make his plays but still, i've played 50 and even sometimes 500 dollar buy in sit & go's, biggest difference is that players are less readable for hard decisions and this kind of challange would be harder, but the general strategy used here combined with the right hand ranges will still do you wonders
Hi I tried to do this how did you keep your cards covered? When I tried I could not keep the small window over the cards when the hand came round to me for action PokerStars screen always comes forward and the cards get revealed. windows 10 .
there's this pro player who'm i've heard had played a whole online tournament without ever looking at her whole cards, i forgot who it was and never found a video of it to prove it but it was a woman and the guy commenting a game she played on tv mentionned it back when i saw it. like DeclanD said it's about showing how important certain strategies are in poker and how you can still read other players sometimes even if you can't get LIVE tells
That AQ suited was the correct call. Your jamming range is SOOOO WIDE. That’s a snap call all day you were basically playing bingo. Your logic wasn’t sound….
Pulse AU Very interesting...can you explain the math/logic on that? It seems like AQ is a snap call from him...is it because the amount of chips he had actually worked against him, and because of the short stack he should fold there? Thank you.
that all in at 44:00 , you had a 2 lmao. 2 /x vs A/Qs. Look at the messages in the bottom left, you won with "nines full of deuces" that hilarious. Unlike a lot of the critics in these comments I agree that, that is not a call with AQs unless he noticed you were just stealing the blinds. but he really shouldnt be calling an all in on the bubble against the chip leader. The ICM value for the chips is way to high for you to risk losing 90% of your chips on the bubble. Especially for him since he would bust and the second chip lead is very valuable in a situation like this
+Sharpie Darpie you can modify strategy when you can see your cards hahah, if you can't see your cards then strategy is all you have. Anyone looking to actually make profit probably won't play blind will they...
this guy won with 3 times with less than 50% odds (2 timess were less than 30%) and split twice with low odds. hmm But i did learn a good strategy for poker-When in doubt "just shove all in"
you should listen to his explenations more, besides, yes ge got lucky on the showdowns, but he mostly needed that luck because of who became big stack early on in the game, if it was one of the other 3 guys (which had a 75% chance of happening), his own stack would be bether in the top 5 there cuz he could make alot more steals
This isnt poker. What happens when your opponent shoves 10x BB and you cant see that youre sitting on a premium hand?? All this video illustrates is the power of fold equity.
yeah, these only make sense if you include the option of seeing what cards you have if somebody shoves pre-flop, at least........not seeing the benefit of knowing that you will have folded premium hands that you shouldnt have
jokerstars reward..people don t play on jokerstars..if you are short you never comback....and if you play just to relax and tray to win you never win flips because this site he reward guys like him ...so never deposit in jokerstars
I came in 4th place(bubble) in 9 hand sit and go without looking. I will try again soon to get the win. How many times did you play before winning this one blind?
ciric95 did you even watch the video. I made many plays with ATC ranges which are +EV. 'You haven't outplayed any player...' Watch the first hand I play at 8:00 . I float IP with ATC and win the pot. How was I lucky here? The point of this video was to have fun and discuss ATC spots in SnGs and stack manipulation.
I know I got very lucky. But I still think there are some interesting things in this video to learn from. It was mainly for fun. Thanks for the compliments.
ciric95 i think its dumb to think this is all skills and outplaying. Obviously there are plenty of luck involved. It's about making the best decision in the scenario given.
and ive done this number of times not looking at the cards doing a 9 man small blind table pretty easy but NO ADVICE TO OTHER PLAYERS yours just sucks.
+glAre That logic makes no sense. What you can't criticise something unless you have done it yourself? Thats a retarded position to have. If I put my car in the garage to get the brakes fixed, but when I get the car back, the brakes are worse than they were before, there's smoke coming out the engine and the steering wheel is loose. Does that mean I am not allowed to criticise, because I've never tried to fix brakes before, and I am not a qualified mechanic? It is possible to not be able to do something, but be able to tell when it hasn't been done as well as it could. Sometimes the skill set required for being able to do something and being able to tell whether its good or not are different. And in poker, many people know how to play the game better than they do, but when there in the heat of battle make mistakes, either because their itching to get involved in a hand or their too scared to make a play.

I always hate it when a terrible hand compared to mine sucks out on me! So tilty

+Robert Poster well he didn't look at his cards so ofcourse he had to get lucky
+henk henkeinstein yea... Poker would be weird if someone could win when not looking at their card without luck lol

you can set a screen caption to hide your cards from the stream and you can still actually see them.

+pH t its not a call on the bubble with those stack sizes, plug it into an icm caluclator and youl see its not a call
no its not, even if you know there shoving any 2. if you call of aq and they have j5 you have a 30ish percent chance of bubbling, it is -EV
I think this is that crazy example in poker where it's actually easier to play against players that know what they're doing. I fear this would not work on a low blinds game where there are unpredictable players at the table.

Although I disagree with how Pulse played this exact tournament, he is a great player overall when he looks at his cards.
Okay kid 🤦🏻♂️

That's why you always see semi bluffs getting called by good players, an the good player is happy they made the right read, but then sad because they get sucked out on the river 5 4 outta 5 times
I wonder how the other players at the table felt when they found out you beat them without seeing your cards? :-)
41:37 Oh my god, yes KQs WAS a good call there. You have to, because math, keep showing up with totally not GTO hands, and ANYONE would adjust immediately and start never ever ever EVER folding KQs against you.
Theres a hide cards option in pokerstars.. u dont need to use that ? thing
KQ and AQ are not good call with a 6BB stack. Ok...
Not on the bubble.
Poker is 1% skill and 99% luck
Want your hand evaluated? Thought you lost the hand at 37:58 when it says 0% on phone there hands 😂
I'm from Brazil and I really liked his explanations
I play sit go 9 players on Pokerstars of $ 0.50 dollars
Anette did it.

he was not playing blind he had 2 monitors hooked up
I am playing a 9 hand sit and go without looking on ACR.
just a $3.00 buy-in , I just put some post-it notes in front of screen.
will post my results after game. See if I win the challange!
learned alot by watching this ty
They probably were making those loose-ish calls against you because they saw the trash hands you were playing with.
Cool points about position and multiway pots, thanks.
41:35 But he definitely realized what you were doing, rasing loosely to determine this is your bubble. So he thought KQs would be ahead of most of the rang you would shove with. Why was that not a good call?
I always want to try this out, but my reading skill certainly not adequate for me to do this. Well done.
Poker Iluminaty Confirm.
i wanna know how well this formula works in a sample not just 1 game
Some great strategy in here for new players like me. Thanks!
I guess the post-it note tech hasn't been researched yet in Australia. Just kidding, but it would have been cool to see his cards.
People are criticizing him on the fact that he thought the AQ was a bad call, but on the bubble, i believe folding AQ is the correct play. No hand is drawing dead preflop, so why would he risk his tournaments life when one of the two other players are almost guaranteed to get out first?

wrong theory, just a luck
So what? Anette won an mtt
+Stormrage Illidan boiiiii
They swear all your family calling you allin and win or Split. Funny
Wow , i cannot belive that .......but i like
37:50 J5off 39:30 KJs either clubs or spades, 41:21 KQ offsuit 43:56 K2, last hand A9 im guessing.
I think he sees a map on the second monitor
1,5$ buy in . how will it look like with 15 $ buy in?
they'll probably allow less spots in which to make his plays but still, i've played 50 and even sometimes 500 dollar buy in sit & go's, biggest difference is that players are less readable for hard decisions and this kind of challange would be harder, but the general strategy used here combined with the right hand ranges will still do you wonders
People calling a shove with J10 and A2? Low stakes are terrible..
Good watch dude,couple luck outs but well played.
I like This VDO,This VDO show ICM&position strategy,It's importance for play sit&go,I try to learn this ,I will subscribed you and wait next VDO
nice job man. respect
I could see all your all in hands that went showdown, by reading chatbox, you should have changed tab to stats or notes )
+sul2soul looks like you won with a10 in the end, if not mistaken )
Nobody in the comments knows about Nash equilibrium haha.
Hi I tried to do this how did you keep your cards covered? When I tried I could not keep the small window over the cards when the hand came round to me for action PokerStars screen always comes forward and the cards get revealed. windows 10 .
I guess this was instructive....
AT and 77 from early position? I wouldn't recommend that
Food for fishes..
Really wish people would stop masking the fact that all online poker sites are rigged.........thanks.
lol second screen is not a big deal :D
What is point playing poker without looking cards? How many times you tried before succeed?
+Janis Belovs It shows how things like position and reading the other plays plays a huge part in the game. But tbh Pokerstars etc are just rigged asf!
there's this pro player who'm i've heard had played a whole online tournament without ever looking at her whole cards, i forgot who it was and never found a video of it to prove it but it was a woman and the guy commenting a game she played on tv mentionned it back when i saw it. like DeclanD said it's about showing how important certain strategies are in poker and how you can still read other players sometimes even if you can't get LIVE tells
Joeri Andries it was annette obrestad
Did you say what the buy in was for this...???
very interesting.....you do know the play....
Huh . I lost a sit and go without looking at my cards - try and achieve that people Kappa
That AQ suited was the correct call. Your jamming range is SOOOO WIDE. That’s a snap call all day you were basically playing bingo. Your logic wasn’t sound….
What was the buy in for this..??
o.O I don't know why people are getting mad. Poker is a gambling game. You can have deuce aces and still lose why because luck.....
this is great. enjoyed it a lot :)! interesting comments about a lot of spot. Thanks!
+ssh:// 127.0.0.1 ok, thanks I guess ;)
I disagree with you at 43:50 it's the correct call AQ smashes your range
Norfolkjiujitsu I suggest you read up about the ICM strategy. AQs is a clear fold and calling will lose you money in the long run.
And I suggest .....you re-read my comment , it's a clear call even with ICM taken into account as he comes first rather than 4th with that call
But you indeed got lucky on the hand
Norfolkjiujitsu i.imgur.com/kKwKnpw.png . -0.18 . glad I could help you with this hand. best of luck in the games
Pulse AU Very interesting...can you explain the math/logic on that? It seems like AQ is a snap call from him...is it because the amount of chips he had actually worked against him, and because of the short stack he should fold there? Thank you.

you keep looking at your cards.

Especially for him since he would bust and the second chip lead is very valuable in a situation like this
Oh and get blessed with the Ace/10 on that last hand against Ace/8. Ace 8 is in front of 90% of your shoving range
Fun Video and Great explanations!
Obviously he recorded it first, and puttet the paint over after...
+JAktorFIFA lmao
Yeah, good luck making profit with this strategy lol
+Sharpie Darpie you can modify strategy when you can see your cards hahah, if you can't see your cards then strategy is all you have. Anyone looking to actually make profit probably won't play blind will they...
+Sharpie Darpie what he doesn't talk about is stack size which is important when you can't see yer own cards
It's a great call when it looks like you aren't even looking at your cards ;)
+abeed87 no its not, he cant call even if he knows hes shoving any two because of icm pressure
+SachTard yes you can. You're a fcking idiot, too.
+SachTard Lol? I would like you on my tables then xd
+SachTard Lol? I would like you on my tables then xd
as i would like you on mine. calling off on the bubble like that lmao
this guy won with 3 times with less than 50% odds (2 timess were less than 30%) and split twice with low odds. hmm
But i did learn a good strategy for poker-When in doubt "just shove all in"
you should listen to his explenations more, besides, yes ge got lucky on the showdowns, but he mostly needed that luck because of who became big stack early on in the game, if it was one of the other 3 guys (which had a 75% chance of happening), his own stack would be bether in the top 5 there cuz he could make alot more steals
Dont call an all in with AQ? What? Thats not a smart thing to say.
Only reason not to do that is if the payjumps are astronomic
Online poker just a bingo play. Not more than that.
Loooool "aq is not a call" do you coach????
+brandon lulov On the bubble, AQ is a bad call
maybe i had king/jack too !!!!! u think?..duh
How the fuck is AQ a fold blind vs blind with 10bb?
Hey Pulse! Are you still playing?
This isnt poker. What happens when your opponent shoves 10x BB and you cant see that youre sitting on a premium hand?? All this video illustrates is the power of fold equity.
+Robby S "This isnt poker" It's poker without looking at your cards. Come on dude!
yeah, these only make sense if you include the option of seeing what cards you have if somebody shoves pre-flop, at least........not seeing the benefit of knowing that you will have folded premium hands that you shouldnt have
EASY ON STARS #RNGABUSE
Wanted to know what you has vs AQ and A8
+Wipez against aq he had a some kind of 2 and against a8 he had at
i wonder if pokerstar let these kind of people win. im talking about donkeys who are going all in with 10 and 7.
Your shoving range is too tight.
You gave explanations for why you did certain things, those things didn't actually work and you repeatedly lucked out with garbage cards.
very good , more videos please.
? 66 77 and flushdraws fold to halfpot bet after checking flop? simply not true tho he wasnt that strong lol
Second game played blind was 6 handed I got 2nd place( in the money).
ACR $1.50 game
YOU MUST PLAY A BLIND MAN GAME!!!!!!! IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!

just lucky tbh,not much worked in terms of strategy.
I came in 4th place(bubble) in 9 hand sit and go without looking.
I will try again soon to get the win.
How many times did you play before winning this one blind?
Bad Apple Garage this was the first time I tried it. Very lucky !
it's pokerstars, you can win a sit and go even without registering for one lol. this site so crooked it's nothing but bad beats and one outers.
Fantastic.....
Oh please. You got it in bad 5-6 times and you talk about how "calling AQ is a fold" in that spot.
Sigh
Your a moron.
+Dynamikcheese The irony... lmao.
+Dynamikcheese You're*

yup...
Gamble. Not habilty on this, just all in pre flop.
nice shit bro
You just won or split the pot every time you moved all-in. You haven't outplayed any player...

I know I got very lucky. But I still think there are some interesting things in this video to learn from. It was mainly for fun. Thanks for the compliments.
ciric95 i think its dumb to think this is all skills and outplaying. Obviously there are plenty of luck involved. It's about making the best decision in the scenario given.
how much were you playing for?
+galanoth17 Think it was a $3 game. micro stakes

lol

Randy Ariya yeah ofc I would never do that. I was trolling him lol.
and ive done this number of times not looking at the cards doing a 9 man small blind table pretty easy but NO ADVICE TO OTHER PLAYERS yours just sucks.
