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.
@@WeissAdvice you’re right for sure. I didn’t realize 1/2 plays so differently than the other games I played, I’m not a big fan of how it plays out though.
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.
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
@@831bweiser yep, I’m used to opening like $15 on 5/5 so I used that same logic here with $6 on 1/2. Definitely made the mistake of opening small multiple times… rake killed me
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
BOTH PLAYERS Q/9 IS INSANE!!! WTF!!!! Great vid as always man, great insight. Excited to see what's next
cozy
This was tough to watch, alot of coolers. Wish you better luck in future games.
Appreciate that, it was a pretty rough time lol
That set of 10s hand would have tilted me beyond belief. Good hands tho
Why does that table only have $1 chips?
This was a 1/2 table with a max buy in of $200. There were only $1 chips and $100 chips... very wide range...
California Poker is really weird, thats why.
