    Another great video. Seems like you’re playing with some massive nits and they’re just getting lucky.
    The only adjustments I can think of is being more equity driven on some of your turn bluffs (ie backdoor flush draw > blocking turned two pair) and using your image to randomize (ie when they think you’re bluffy, “randomize” passive and vise versa).
    Keep up the solid play and the awesome content!

    43:06 hand at this moment is interesting in that the button was trapping but he probably was doing for post flop. But than the SB raised very small- I’m guessing something like Ax suited, than the BB woke up with a pocket pair, most likey JJ, TT, 99 or something like KQs. People hate folding those in BB.

      Greg goes all in has a good video on how to poker vlog. Genuinely taking notes (for me) is very hard. It just shows I need to pay more attention to all the action.
      I will immediately after the hand forget who opened, who limped, what betting amounts were.

  • @MaydayAggro
    @MaydayAggro Před měsícem

    4c4s: I'd just check here. You're MW and even though villain's limp-called, I think Kx/Qx and sd/fd are possible, in addition to 22. These hands are not folding to a tiny bet.
    AsQc: Bluffing with the nut no-pair. What are you trying to get him to fold here?
    T8o: I realize you hit the straight here, but I think defending this hand is way too wide when the SB has already called. If SB had not called, it would be ok.
    KcQh: Why do you check the turn when it brings some draws and then bet the river when the most obvious draws get there? Shouldn't it be the reverse?
    99: Good call. I probably would have talked myself out of it, but it was a fine call since only the 98 gets there by the river.
    86hh: "Villain calls EVERYTHING on the flop, so I range bet." What?
    KJcc: Wow. Bluffing with the flush. I've never seen that before.

  • @MaydayAggro
    @MaydayAggro Před měsícem

    I am a bit confused by the continued bluffing when you turn a pair. You did it a few times during the session. Usually the default play is to try to get closer to showdown.
    A2dd: Villain should not "defend so wide here" UTG raise. If villain is holding 43o combos, he is playing nearly everything. That wide a range means there is NO WAY he has the range advantage. (He also has hands like QJo down to 65o, possibly QTo to 75o, also. That is a TON of combos with very little equity.) If he has the range advantage AND is IP, what is the purpose of range betting? Might as well just bet large with a polarized range (including this hand, with the gutshot and bdfd).
    ATdd: I think you bluffed the best hand.
    KK: I think a turn bet makes more sense than a river bet. The turn brings in very few draws; the river just increases the number of hands that beat you.
    66: You are thinking of button vs BB. MP does not have many hands that hit this flop. Button does.
    KTo: I think this is a bad hand to bluff with. The blocker effects of these 2 cards are pretty useless because the hands you block are KJdd, JTss, which are impossible bc the Js/Jd are on the board. (KJo is possible, but JTo is not likely from MP.)
    54hh: Not a fan of the turn overbet. If you don't have enough bluffs with only draws/trash, the bet sizing is too big, and if you do have a lot of draws/trash, I think a pair is too far up in your range to bluff.

    Sam big fan here. Love ur style of play!
    Seems like words got around at the parx and many seems to know about ur playing style. I think its time switch ur gear and pick better spots with strong hands. Against tight nit players, when the money goes in, mostly they have it. Less multiway pot and reduce bluff frequency. Your table image was pretty bad last couple of sessions. Q9 thin value shove was good move but it didnt help ur image. Hope my 2 cents help

  • @aqn1976
    @aqn1976 Před měsícem

    The ALL-IN shove with AQ diamonds was questionable because you know for a fact that at minimum either the button or the other player who flatted the 3 bet that at least ONE player will call you and 98% of the time you will be behind with your AQs... Therefore, you 0% fold equity with that play and I think the better play with pretty decent odds was a cold "recall" of $200 in that spot and see the flop with the 40% Royale...

  • @hollisjensen7941
    @hollisjensen7941 Před měsícem

    Hand 4 Ad2d. I think you should just be betting bigger in a lot of these situations. Once you get called and we don't get called, I love the decision to fire again but you are not targeting a "4" or "3" like you mentioned. Those are folding flop. You Realistically are trying to get 66-TT to fold.
    Hand 5 AdTd. Why are we firing for so small preflop? We're against the button straddle and we're out of position for the rest of the hand? I would definitely lean towards 30-50 pre. Then once we get to the flop I think we can just pitch it I mean he's probably able to stab superwide here but the hand becomes very tough to play on a board like this on future streets and it lacks clarity of where we're at. The bluff on the river i think is fine and I don't expect our opponent to have a flush.
    Hand 10 KdJs. This is an absolute punt here. First of all we should just be folding. There are way better hands we have to continue here like nut flush and combo draws and additionally there are multiple players who have taken interest. The raise I think is especially bad because we don't represent any value. All of our sets bet all of our over pairs bet. So what does this check raise represent for value? I think this was just a punt.
    Hand 12 KdTs. Pre good flop good turn. We should just muck this. It's going to be incredibly tough to get value otr and if I did call on the turn and brick the river I think leading with an overbet would be the play.
    Hand 13 AcKs. Pre good flop I think either way is fine but I think betting is preferred. Once called turn we have to check and on the river I think this is a I already knew what I wanted to bet on the turn and I'm betting on the river. With that said I think he's waited towards AX and TX and they're not going to be able to call 550 I think your only getting called by better with those sizing.

      @hollisjensen7941 Před měsícem

      Hand 15 5h4h. I like betting the flop again I think we need to just be betting much larger like 35 or 40 charge them if they have a draw. On the turn once we overbet and am called I'm just shutting it down. I can't think of a single situation where we get enough credibility here I think they're not folding a 2pair to us and we're only repping a T I think this is just a punt. I think we just are not getting a fold through here.

    • @hollisjensen7941
      @hollisjensen7941 Před měsícem

      Hand 16 AcTh. I think we can just fold I mean even though 98 and KQ bricked which are possible bluff candidates the flush gets in and we have zero removal and I don't think enough people bluff in a spot like this to make a call. I'd reserve it to when we have the Ad in our hands and just fold the rest

    • @hollisjensen7941

      Hand 18 KsQc. Ott I think this is severely missed value we need to bomb this turn big. QsX JsX are all calling big sizings and if we were to start bluffing multiway we would bet large aswell. I think we missed a bunch of value I'd bet 75-100

Once he limp calls from +2 and the board comes off this way AdQsJh he's going to be hitting this board a huge portion of his limp overcalling range. AXs QJ,KJ,AJ,AQ, a bunch of garbage that is called I think we can just give up once we bet and are called just check and give up.

      As far as your thought process on the quads hand, I think carrot corner has a good video on that, something like " play your hand " is the title.
      I also forget that I can play 200+ hands per table per hour, while you play 200 a day live, which isn't a bad thing, your periods of running into it are going to be extended compared to mine.

    You call way to often. And you bluff way to often. Especially for 2/5. Players just arent bluffing often enough to justify your speculative plays.

    Just a small observation. You said no one is making plays, but they are making plays....inside your head 😂😂 ....get out of your head.

    You’re playing small stakes trying to bluff way way too much and also catch too many bluffs.

    You may want to consider removing the sound from the casino. It's a bit distracting and makes it harder to pay attention to your voice.

      I'll keep it in mind, it's the first time not muting the background sound, but I turned it down quite a bit in a lot of spots.
      Just testing it out and seeing which one people prefer
