Sam, you are easily becoming my favorite vlogger!!! I love your videos brotha, keep up the grind! You are really helping me a lot with my game as well!
Hi SR, I prefer this kind of analysis a lot more. I think I learn and improve my game much faster than the usual poker vlog. I hope you continue with this kind of vlog. Good job!!
Deep analysis is great, that being said you will not satisfy everyone, you should poll it. 500 a hour is it the softest placed you have played or just run good, that is an epic run. I can tell you 95% of the poker population is not folding Ks there.
It's going to be mostly run good, my win rate is probably in the neighbourhood of $100-$150/hr at deepstacked 2/5. Need a lot more volume to really get a concrete # though.
I said it before and say it again, I love the volg!! Also, since the camera change, a couple videos ago, wow man, the image is amazing. It's that kind of thing that you didn't know you needed untill you got it ;) Also, as others said, i love the in-depth hand analysis 👌
Need more info on last villain in order to make the right decision imo. Tough spot either way, it’s just a matter of whether or not he shoves all combos of AK on that turn.
Huge fan of the indepth analysis and hope to see more in the future. I will be going back to listen a few times as there were some ideas I need to give more thought to. One comment on your comment in the KK hand where V raised to $345. You commented it was a large raise, and while it is from GTO perspective, it was 3.1x which is a sizing I see from players that don't study much. You are losing to 6 AA combos and 3 QQ, which you somewhat discounted so maybe convert that to 1.5 QQ. You are ahead of 3 AQ suited and some other Ax diamonds combos. That may have been a call. I'd be influenced by how I've seen that opp play so far.
I enjoy the nerding out analysis. But, a half-pot raise over the 20 c! into a 65 pot be 72.5 - that is, the 52.5 on top of villain’s 20 bet. Your 90 was just a hair over two-thirds pot.
I really liked the indepth analysis on the x/r top pair! curious if you just discuss with good friends poker situations or also run hands through GTOwiz/solvers to get a baseline. x/r medium strength top pairs was something my game was lacking and I've been doing more and more often, and learning to get value from worse, while also learning how to x/r fold and then fold to bad runouts (I feel like my brain used to think that once I x/r I just have to auto continue across most streets, which is some bad logic). pretty great analysis and sick fold with the KK too. I think I would have sigh called off there. but a really great analysis from a tight config of early position vs bb 4b. most live opponents just won't have that many double barrel bluffs there, and I do agree that KK (esp with a diamond) is one of your worst hands that you will reach turn with there, since you'll have some QQ, AA, and AKdd.
I mostly discuss with friends, I have like 30 more hours of poker content to consume before I purchase pio and start running sims myself. It's really interesting check raising flops and giving up after that, it's tough to construct that range, but I also struggle with it. Yeah, live regs really aren't putting their stacks in without very strong hands or draws tbh.
Do you think that in the hand with kings on the QTdd board it’s possible he could be turning jacks into a bluff? Turns open ended, knows he repping aces and just blasts off?
@@BluffaloSamyeah that’s true. It’s definitely a stretch. I was just desperately trying to think of a hand you beat. I’ve seen guys barrel off with AK like that with only gutshot equity but it’s rare. That’s a great fold that I don’t think alot of players make. Even though it’s crystal clear you’re up against aces, kings, or a set of queens. Most likely aces.
I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and I've been playing a few days on Bovada Zone, and I'm down 30 buy ins @ 5NL. I'm unsure if this is because of the such high variance I've faced? or is this just me being rusty? I don't want to go and fire my normal 1-2 match stack game at my local casino but I feel like I have an edge obviously. I was winning 1400BB over 400-500 hands, and then immediately dipped.
Preflop is the easiest leak to fix, especially online. 30 buyin is an extremely large swing, and it's going to be tough to chalk that up to just variance.
@@BluffaloSam I beat my local game, and I went through the hands on Bovada and I lost to quads 7 times, 2 strait flush, 1 royal. I did hit quad 3's once. I'm confident enough that either I need to tighten up preflop or change pools, because I could send you the hands and you couldn't find more then 1-2 times where I got the money in behind.
@@BluffaloSam I told my wife before I played "I have never been set over set" and proceeded to get set over set with AA, KK, QQ, 1010, and 77. All of these hands are available to look at and I would pay for coaching 👍 I have a full time job and my bankroll is 30k as I usually play 1-2 match stack or 2-5.
Hey-thought I’d reach out because your analysis is so good. Would you be willing to do paid coaching? I’m a college student in Houston (international from Toronto), and have been playing poker for the last couple years and am trying to step my game up with studying more.
My coaching would be terrible, there are some very established people out there that have systems in place, with solver based study that I don't even come close to, appreciate it though fella!
When they make faces of disgust then put in a raise its always the nuts in my experience. Or the head shake. Don't even think they realize they are shaking their head at times.
Is it possible he had jacks during your hand with kings, He might have saw your hesitation when he raised and thought you had ace king, so when the nine popped he had your straight draw blocked with 2 jacks, and figured you had ace high only, I don’t know I’m still very new to the game, almost 8-9 months of playing Big fan from Australia, keep up the good work buddy
Bro you are def the best low stake loose aggresive player on youtube. But I think no matter what you have to bet at 9:20 if there comes another club you are just in a terrible spot. Sometimes people just messing around with offsuit A-x. Sometimes Jacks/10’s.
Betting half pot on that QT hand is not 52.5, it's 72.5. Take it from a PLO player who also deals; pot has 85, he cbet 20. A full pot bet would be (20*3)+85 = 145. 145 / 2 = 72.5. So you should raise to ~75 over his flop cbet if you want half pot.
Yeah, I did learn this too! If you google "how to calculate a half pot bet" the very first result teaches you how to do it wrong. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh the 20*3 vs 20*2 comes from a mental difference in where the call goes The total bet would be 72.5. If you do it the way Sam calculates in the video, that’s the “raise amount” over the call he would need. It’s a “call 20 with a raise of 52.5” to get the 72.5
@@BluffaloSam so would the money you put into the pot in this case be 72.5, or 92.5? I ask because I thought the formal definition of a raise was the amount over the initial call. So the 72.5 bet would be a “call the 20, raise by 52.5”, or the 92.5 bet would be a “call the 20, raise by 72.5” I’m only asking to better understand this myself. We’ve had it happen in home games where you have a $2 big blind, someone raises to $5, and you assume the next raise has to be to $10 because it’s 2X the 2nd bet, but in reality the minimum 3 bet amount is a total bet of $8 - which calls the $2 bb, the $3 raise, and then raises by an additional $3 (2X the original raise)
@@BluffaloSam another question I had was... What is your process for breaking down hands played post session? I understand this may not be the channel for that, but a video on that would be cool. I assume you combo vlog filming and use the footage to do hand analysis as well.
@@BluffaloSam yeah, I am far too dumb to remember what I did after. I pretty much only play online, so I have to watch the replayer to remember what I was thinking, so I think the faster pace might have something to do with it. I think my brain associates the cards with what I was thinking, but I can't necessarily recall different hands without seeing the cards, unless it really sticks out in my brain. If you don't mind me asking, how do you study after a session? I personally try to pick 5 hands that I think I played poorly and 2 hands that I think I played well and 3 hands that I could have played better and solver them and write down my reasoning for during the game and what I am thinking with no pressure and compare. I also try to avoid using exploitative reads in my reasoning for why I think a play was good or bad for the no pressure reasoning, even though exploits are " good ". ( not really sure what word to use other than good, I think good is way too basic, but it is all I can think of at the moment)

That’s one thing many poker vloggers aren’t doing enough: in-depth hand analysis! Adding this to the series is an amazing touch! Keep runnin’ hot 🔥
If I keep a really interesting spot where I think a lot of live players are missing, I'll do another in depth analysis!
Love the in-depth analysis -- would love to see more!
I loved the deep analysis and explanation more please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. That KK fold is very interesting. I respect the fold but I’m always calling there.
It really really hurt to fold that one
Sam, you are easily becoming my favorite vlogger!!! I love your videos brotha, keep up the grind! You are really helping me a lot with my game as well!
Thank you so much man!
Hi SR,

I doubt it tbh, I rarely see people putting in stacks with bluffs
Glad you're having a solid run down south ;)
at 5:32 are you saying you open 10/8s under the gun? That sounds crazy wide.
I open much wider than that in passive games
@@BluffaloSam You know what I guess it's not that crazy looking at the preflop charts again. Keep on keeping on!
LIKE IT, LIKE IT, LIKE IT on hand analysis.
Awesome video. Loved the analysis. Hope the run good continues 🙂
reallllyyy loved the analysis
Yes, please share similar analysis more
Good for you buddy! So happy for your massive success at the tables. Hope to get near your skill one day.

Maybe move the indepth analysis to the end and reference it during the hand review. Keeps everyone happy!
That's a really good idea! I seriously doubt he ever has AQs here. That is way too thin to shove turn with. and he's just gonna flat it in position.
Was fun watching you yesterday on stream in a tough lineup where you defly had the hardest seat draw :D keep it up 👍
Lodge yesterday@DeadMoneyDragon.
Was a tough, but fun one!
While I don't have access to live poker where I play.....I would find this FAR more fascinating to see this done online. Good luck on the felt man.
Thanks fella :)
I personally enjoyed the analysis. I thought you did a really nice job explaining the concept.
Well played, folding Kings sucks but I think it was correct. Saw you play the stream too
It hurt! The stream was fun, hopefully the next few go better!
Yup loved the deeper analysis and mistakes you were informed on. Feel like it would be good on 1 or 2 hands a video. Keep up the great content!!!
Yeah, I may do it at the end of each video!
love it raising top pair
I enjoyed the Check raise Hand analysis
KK fold was big balls. Nice work, gg
Thanks! It really hurt to fold that one
Killing it!

None currently, just review with friends.
