Good action table, opponent should’ve folded w an overpair against ur line unless he has seen u get out of line b4. Either way, nh 👍🏽

Lol Mann I do not miss 1/2! Excited for the 2/3. You in LA?

In 1/2 you should pretty much always be raising in position pre flop. Most players are going to call light out of position and under 4-bet, so you get to isolate in position a lot by having a wide 3 bet range. KJo from the button to a cutoff open is definitely well within that range. I'd also open a little larger than 3x, you're trying to beat the rake, and again opponents over call. If you open to 8-10 and get jammed on for 16, so what? Call off with your entire range LOL.

BOTH PLAYERS Q/9 IS INSANE!!! WTF!!!! Great vid as always man, great insight. Excited to see what's next <3

i think you just running bad right now , once you play enough there you should beat that game easy, they don't like to fold there just have to adjust to the table , better luck next time bro

I make a standard open to $6....lol. you definitely Aren't going to beat $1/2 or the rake with a 3x open in a live poker game. Standard would be $12 TBH

With the $4 straddle on, youre basically playing a game with blinds equal to $2/5. $20 from the BB is waaay too small even if it folded to you. With callers even more so.

cozy

That set of 10s hand would have tilted me beyond belief. Good hands tho

This was tough to watch, alot of coolers. Wish you better luck in future games.

Why does that table only have $1 chips?

good content buddy, good luck on your journey

new sub here steve as promise i like ur blog alot good luck on ur journey and best of luck on the felt , not bad of taking care of dealers thanks bro

Is your camera lens dirty or do you add a hazy effect to all of your footage?

I think you're conflating some runbad with bad play. For example,. squeezing KTs in that spot is a good instinct, and is a fine hand to squeeze with. However, it is definitely a fold vs a 4b jam, and not a call. Also, any reason you are not playing 100bb? Youre going to make less money when you have good hands and are not going to realize your equity as well playing 60bb.

Mucks should have made him show his cards !!! He called your All IN

Nasty flop

In the A T J hand with bottom set, I actually like the small bet. You keep in all the worse hands like Ax and KT, and incentivize check raises from draws. On very dynamic boards like this, betting small to incentivize a raise is a viable strategy. And in this exact case, because UTG open limps I wouldn't expect to see a lot of AK, AQ, AT, - he's semi-capped to weaker holdings, so I actually really like the smaller bet size here specifically.

12:51 (AQc) how is that slow rolling giving an opponent opportunity to show/muck his hand?? If he mucks, then I have opportunity to muck my hand, too. Here: you paid the price he set to see his hand. Emphasis is on YOU PAID for it. It's all according to the poker rules, I don't see any SLOW ROLLING here. BTW, if he bluffed then he does not expect to win that hand anyway. Slowrolling is giving an opponent a false hope ON PURPOSE to trigger his emotions and capitalize on it later. As long as it is not done deliberately, that is not slow rolling. Example of Slowrolling is: If I am holding a winning hand, and my opponent shows his first, and I am deliberately delaying to show my winning hand. I understand being courteous not to give him a false hope when holding a winning hand. In that case I flip over my hand first and then asked him to show his hand. If he did not, then I ask dealer to flip it over for me. Period.

On the AQ clubs hand, I suggest raising on the turn. Too many scare cards for him could have come on the river that could have killed his confidence to keep betting. River of course was not a scare card but absolutely could have been. If he’s willing to bet out of position on the turn, he’s very likely to call a raise, depending on what size.

Congrats on the Vegas trip. Cool bellagio let you film. GL at the tables.

That 7-2 hand, flopping trips lmao. You had some crazy hands for less than a 2 hour sesh. Good shit

Very nice video to watch especially when the stakes are not my yearly salary as big blind

First hand 3! is way too small, 3x in position 4x out of position. The A4s 3! squeeze is fine but you want to make it at least 40 with the one caller in the middle. I’d suggest putting some work into understanding basic theory and sizings on certain board textures. It seems to me you are more focused on your exact hand strength rather than taking ranges into consideration. Keep at it, the game is beautifully complex and takes a lifetime to master.

When is the next vlog coming out?

You need to get off this game and play at least the 5/5 game, 1k buy in. The drop in LA at the 2/3 game is gonna make it almost impossible to beat

Just finished your intro. Really liked showing your ups and downs. Hope you go positive soon brother. Recording @ bellagio is huge!!

Great video! Glad to see you back on the grind!

When someone raises in front of you and there is a caller in between, you always have the option of 3betting. You have to at least double the size of the last raise. So in the hand with 4 behind, you have to raise to at least 37 (assuming 1/3). That's the bb plus 2x the raise (3 + 17 +17). With another player in the hand, you want to bet at least 3x plus the dead money because otherwise the original caller is never making a mistake calling your 3bet. So I would raise to 80 (20 * 3 + 20).

very nice card protector! Wonder where can I get one.

In NL, the minimum raise must be equal to the bet before, so if someone jams while short and can’t make the minimum raise it’s considered a non-raised all in and you can only call or fold. Bluffing with A9 your thinking is a little odd. Any time you bluff you should be thinking “what am I trying to get to fold.” Based on the way the hand played it looks like your opponent probably has a hand you are beating. I actually don’t hate the raise, but I think it’s accidentally a value raise, not a bluff. Or you’re getting crushed by a made flush 😂

T9o: First I would just fold this hand with so many limpers. If you acted first, you definitely should fold. You don't gain enough EV to make up for the fact that you are likely dominated and unsuited. Second, if there were several limpers, your raise size should be much larger. I do not know how many limpers there were, but your raise size should be "standard" plus 1BB for each limper. Otherwise no one is making a mistake by calling. Against so many opponents, this should be a check on the flop. DEFINITELY take note of this player. 33:You don't have anywhere near the required implied odds to set mine vs a jam and call. You need at least 8 to 1, and you have at best just over 5 to 1 here ((12 + 65 + 65 + 200)/65). Obviously with a hand like 33, you need better than 8 to 1 to address the times you end up having set under set or, in this case, set vs straight. How did you make 600 from this hand with one player all in for 65 and the other all in for 265? ATcc: The flop bet is fine heads up (HU), but I'd just check vs 3 opponents. Cbet of 50 is especially large multiway. You can call a small to medium bet from the BU with 2 overcards and bdsd/bdfd combo. KJcc: Why the 8.3x preflop raise (PFR)? You again do not have the right odds to call the jam. You have 12 outs (any club and any K), meaning you need better than 2.83 pot odds. Calling 155 into a pot of 280 gives you pot odds of 2.8. 54o: Just fold. "Happy I limped when I see the flop" is results oriented.

What is the max buy-in at 2/3? If you can buy in for more, I'd try to take at least 500, and more if possible. With a "standard raise" of 15 and a stack of 300, you are effectively playing 2/5 with a 60BB stack.

Q9o is just a fold vs a raise in CO. J8o is a fold pre. You should not be trying to polarize your range as the opener. Polarizing assumes that you would have a limping range, which you shouldn't have.

It is very common to lose money when getting started. Low stakes have higher rakes, very illogical situations, and really test your patience. AND you're going to make a lot of mistakes without even being aware of it. Pocket 9 hand is a great example of understanding a good thinking player vs a bad thinking player. Good thinkers consider what the opponent probably has given their tendencies, position, and actions. Bad thinkers only think about what they themselves have. If you're opening from EP and are a disciplined player, if I'm your villain I'm going to put you on a fairly standard range of hands. When the flop comes out 4, 5, 6, two diamonds, I know this flop massively favors my range as the BB defender. So if I check and you bet FULL POT, I'm going to assume that your range significantly narrows to over pairs, over cards with diamonds, and maybe hands like A8 hearts that block my nut hands and have back door equity. Of course the villain here ISN'T thinking that way, God knows why they are calling with AJ clubs. That brings us to the inflection point, the turn. If I'm your villain, I'm going to ASSUME you are connected to this board. Everything in your range should have some standing. So if I'm donking pot into you I will absolutely have hands that contain a 7, 2 pair hands, sets, etc; and also I will have high equity bluffs. Because I'm working off the assumption that you have something you want to hold onto. SO - if a GOOD Player makes this move, don't assume they are bluffing. BUT, a bad player is not going to think about what you have - they're not going to think that you probably have equity on this board. So when a BAD Player does this, it's exactly the thought process you described. They're going to bet smaller with their good hands to keep you in and bigger with bad hands in hopes you fold.... something.

Good vlog: On the A4 hand you definitely lost a lot of value. That hand is a great check raise on the turn, can look like a flush draw if you check raise small he probably calls all kings. Then you can blast the river blank and get paid for an all in. Or at least get added value from any diamond draw by check raising the turn. When you have an unexpected strong hand like that try to play for stacks. That’s the implied value of that draw. And on the QQ hand, out of positions with like 5 callers, 25 is way too little. I’d go to like 40. Their ranges are capped except maybe the first limper. No one limps AA or KK or AK after a limp. So blast off with AA-JJ there. And yes you beat nothing on that board.. I gotta get down to LA, that game looks weak and lively…..:)

nice quads! And tough one with the overcards & flush draw. Sooooo many outs! I have to put some time into learning more about equity calculations. Talk more about it please :)

New subscriber here, and new poker vlogger as well. I don't have any live poker options locally but I love watching other people play. One day, one day. I find it super helpful to record my play and get ready to record, I am learning so much and like you, able to correct my play right while i'm making the video. Looking forward to being here for your next solid upswing - your journey focusing on the fundamentals will pay off.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

LOVE YOU BRO!! YOU WILL COME BACK ❤❤

It happens to the best of us, July will be your month!

If you want to get better, would recommend: 1. Doing a training site, with basic cash game training. 2. Playing online and using a tracker, to track results. If you can beat 10NL, you can beat live poker. 3. Look at some preflop charts. With high rake in LA, calling hands like A4o/Q9o are just losing calls in the long run.

Abrupt ending without session buy-in and cash-out numbers. Guessing ur at about -1300 overall with this win, which isn't too bad. Just about 4 buy-ins. Whats good is that u recognize that ur too loose at times. That increases variance, to include bad variance. Remind yourself to stay disciplined when boredom sets in. Being card dead is a great time to remain observant and look for tells in other players in hands. Timing tells are a big one. U might have timing tells urself when u snap-act. Review ur videos for them. Try to eliminate snap-actions to eliminate snap-action tells. Looking forward to next session.

Comfy vid as always, wtf is that second board lmao

Okay I like these shorts !

Awesome hand, could have gotten more with the last raise

The gal has a great pair

You were incredibly lucky to get called on the river. Maybe you could have gotten it all in on the turn, but that's the only scenario where you get more. If you raise turn and he calls, he will definitely not be calling any river bet because his 2 pair was counterfeited. So, yes, you definitely got a $75 gift.

Just horrible play.

I mean I think you played it good it was just your opponent wasn’t as confident as you needed to get him raised, otherwise it was well played
