If the Ace King hand in this video makes very little sense to you, my book "Optimizing Ace King" will help immensely: www.splitsuit.com/ace-king-poker-book
Thanks for posting these videos, James…it is really helpful to listen/understand your thinking on why you do what you do. I’m learning from you and definitely improving my game. Thanks so much!
15:47 very good fold, my man. Love to see those. Keep it going
Thanks for the video James! Appreciate all you do to help me and people like me improve.
i love these videos! keep the great content coming!
Really like the commentary and giving a thought process behind all streets, current and future.
Great content James. Love your devices: "overbet against - young stiky oponnents ..." - that´s it! You are so right!
Absolutely love to hear your thought process while playing low stakes, there aren’t many good ones out there for the people starting on their poker journey.
If you just started learning, my advice would be learn ABC poker and once you understand ABC move up to $2/$5 or higher. Most micro stakes players are playing for fun and not to learn poker which leads to many weird hands that teach you nothing and take your money at the same time. If you play live its a bit better but not much.
@@anthonyaltomare73and rake is brutal
This type of video is very instructive, hope you keep doing them. Just got back into poker. Stopped playing when I moved to Florida in 2010.
Great stuff, thank you
Great content!! Thanks!
Q9o iso: looks kind of wide… Do you widen your raising range from X position when there is a limper?
I am never over-limping. But folding seems superior to iso raising with Q9o.
Really enjoying this live play vlog vidoes James, thanks for the content!
I tend to play more tournament / freeze out games, would be great to see more of this type of content if you play these games too, or even some discussion on how your strategy changes when there's no option to simply reload if a stack off goes wrong.
You're very welcome Zarl! I don't really play tournaments at all, so unfortunately I'm the wrong person to discuss that.
Awesome video. On Q9o are you ever worried about 54s (or maybe even 54o) being in the big blind's c/r range, given he's the LAG? Does that add enough combos to make a tight fold on the river?
Very informative video as always. The biggest thing I took from this video was, I have absolutely NO clue as how to play nl poker. I did make the same analysis in a few instances but overall I was way over my head in my analysis. But at least I did takeaway an important lesson. Much Thanks
Always appreciate your honesty and candor. You definitely caught some bad breaks there. I'm also impressed with the hands you're playing OP (off-suit gappers e.g.) and how you're playing them. I also find very interesting your raise size with AK from UTG. I would have thought that you'd want to make a larger bet ($10+ ?) to try to thin the field behind as much as possible. Would that be a mistake?
You were definitely right on the suited K10. The reraise all in for $250ish when he had the set was his error. He could have extracted far more from you.
The only hand I will critique is the AKdiamonds hand. Don’t think we should flatting in early mid position. I think flatting sometimes on button or Cutoff is okay. But at 1/2 it’s rare someone will squeeze this up. Now we are OOP going multi way setting up many awkward spots.
I like it. I listened to your lectures but you were too quick for me and the EQ treble was hissing s's which hurt my ears but I absolutely love what you're doing here and I plan on buying your workbook because of it and probably others too. Thank you!
Nice video dude. You play very different poker to me, you have a strange style, a alot of decisions you take I find myself saying I would do something different. I guess that's the beauty of poker though, everyone has different styles..... Flatting AK in early position, 3 betting with 86s, opening and raising pre with Q9o, folding top pair then calling top pair. Nice work man, I like your tricky style, you'd be tough to play against at any rate.
In the first hand when you iso the limper with Q9o (which is very thin in my opinion) and you check the flop and delayed c-bet the turn, what hands do you really rep there?
Most overpairs bet the flop, set 66 and 77 probably too, unblocking top pair to get value from pairs and the occassional draw.
Yeah you could check the flop with JJ, but even that hand betting small 1/3 is not that bad with the draws available.
So that leaves mostly A-high hands and K-high hands and maybe once in a blue moon a strangely played overpair like AA, (which doesn't need much protection).
I assume you bet your 88, 99 and TT also a lot of the times with a small sizing to deny equity on the flop, with maybe the occassional check back to strengthen your check back range with some showdown value hands.
I know this kind of thinking of balancing is maybe not all that important at these stakes of 1/2, but still.
So i really can't see a lot of strong hands that you rep with that line, the check-bet line in this case.
Or am i wrong?
I am a Dutch player who only plays 1/2 myself, so i understand that most of the players probably don't think at the level at that you and i are thinking, but here in The Netherlands we have a very tough 1/2 game with decent players, because there is only 1 game available.
So it is a game full of regs, who can sniff fishy things out immediately.
Unfortunately the rake is 10% with cap 10 with very little recreational players. (maybe during the weekend)
So it is tough to beat, but it is the only game for me available.
I still manage to beat it, but the rake is horrendous.
I have to watch the rest of the video still.
Thanks for your nice video's, i am always a big fan of your content.
Keep it up.
Love your vlogs. Keep up the great work. Think you could add a P&L stack size number on the screen? Thanks!
I really like the tally at the end of the video. As a request would be able to do this series as a bankroll, this way do the daily tally at the end like this video. But then your overall tally with all vlogs combined.
I like that AhKh very much. A dislike that QTs. Great video.
He won the minimum lol
Honestly I think you played pretty well, the Q9o I'd fold pre, but when you get that run out you kinda have to call down
Ya this was my thinking also, I think I am fine with mixing in an open, if the table is passive and over folds. I think folding pre is also good, since Q9o doesn't do well in contested pots when it makes only one pair. I leave this one up to James though, pretty sure he entered the pot with game flow in mind and saw a potential exploit.
@@glenterris3980 yeah i trust split as well, just my $.02
Would isoraise Q9o on the BTN, HJ seems a bit too loose
@@clayvision It certainly isn't a particularly profit-generating hand, even if you have a huge skill edge versus the table. I think it should be a snap-fold most of the time. Q9s or QTo should be just good enough to play profitably at 1/2 when in late position.
Great content as usual !!
You play exclusively live?
Noticed you raised with Q-9 off twice in this video. You explained your thought process but was wondering if that is also a GTO-recommended thing to do?(Just curious because I usually fold that preflop)
I love these videos. Keep it up! Thank you
This is so much different from Ignition games, people are VERY aggressive online and bluff a lot. By a lot I mean all the time. If you just fold you won't ever win, and someone will always win with hands like 6-8 against your AK by just re-raising. Started winning by just calling more, and still learning to be more aggressive myself.
@splitsuit Your thoughts on the player with the Set of sixes when you had top pair with KT. I would not have shoved with a set on that board. Raised, but small enough to keep players in.
Curious for your thoughts about how the 66 player played the hand in which you had KcTc v. Villain’s 66.
Seems like his raising the flop is playing that hand too fast. The board, while slightly connected, isn’t that scary for him. I’d think he’d rather just call and try to build a side pot in the event you have exactly what you did - top pair. But curious for your thoughts here.
Hey James, just wondering what your average 100bb was at each stake as you climbed the ladder?
Last hand. Re-raise the $45 check raise to $100. Blocking bet in advance while in position. You know a big turn bet is coming on almost any turn card. So block it. You can then easily fold to a shove now, and will most likely be checked to on the turn giving the opportunity to see a river for $55 instead of $100 plus.
I assumed I was ahead a good chunk of the time and wasn't really looking to find the fold button anywhere. If villain happens to have a better hand, so be it =)
Did you decide to calldown Q9o on the flop already? Is there a runout you would consider folding against this playertype?
By the end of the last hand I was pretty convinced he had A9 but there's not really anywhere in the hand where you should have done anything differently IMO.
That said, I probably would have folded that preflop. It's not a good hand and there doesn't seem to be any tactical reason to play there.
Otherwise, losing top pair to a set and KK to AA are just things that happen sometimes.
Was thinking the same thing. I like raising the Q9 more than limping behind but folding also seems like a fine play to me
1/2 games in Florida play so different than a 1/2 here in Texas. Most of the 1/2 games around here play like 5/10.
In terms of game size or skill level?
On the K10 clubs, if you (or I) had the set of 6's I presume the best way to get more money is to call/(bet turn) instead of going all in, or are you a proponent of the move-in to deny equity and occasionally get the call from someone holding K10? In these situations, it would add value if you discussed the way they played the hand as well.
I actually did a full breakdown of this hand from villain's point of view too if you're interested! th-cam.com/video/pUH4hs8ArXM/w-d-xo.html
Quick question: Why did you essentially min-raise your pocket Kings ($12 to $25) instead of making it larger?
I asked the same thing. Found that play much stranger than the AK hand!
I am not a high-stakes snob but the raises to 6 are painful lol
QhTh .... you said you bet "$20 as a thin value bet".. I think it would help audience to explain what you mean by this as my friends would think this means small size and not what I understand the actual definition to be (having slightly over 50% equity). Having said that, at the end of the hand review you said you're behind very occasionally and the bet is pure value.... so that felt like a contradiction to thin value?
Also playing at OCPR 1/2 ... in the last 2 sessions (5 hours total) I've donated 3 full buy ins running into aces AI preflop with AK.. KK ... KK .... what are the odds? Lol gonna be more mindful of 4 bet shoves
I thought that happens online poker only.
That’s pretty crazy. However Random events tent to come in lumps, interestingly.
Is something wrong with me, when I say „Gooood Morning, how we doin today?“ BEFORE the video starts?
I did and I got titled and lost all my money
I run into pocket AA. At least 3 times every hour..... Lol
Remember you will see somebody else have AA about 8-9 times as often as you will have it yourself! Try to not be in the hand when it happens.
2nd hand: Semi bluff was a better play.
What a terrible jam by the player with the set of sixes. He missed out on some value there!
a $6 raise at 1/2 michigan is probably the same as a limp 😀
5:08 of course he was gonna fold here (river overbet) quickly. You could not be called by a worse hand.
Yep. Way over.
When you played the 86 and take it down, why didn't you show the hand? Seems like a good opportunity to advertise yourself as loose and splashy.
On the KKvsAA hand the PFR raises to $12 and you 3bet min raise to $25? Shouldn't you be 3betting 3x in position?
He forgot.
Depends on what you try to accomplish.
@@MugenTJ pretty sure he misclicked. Split even usually sizes up a bit here.
Not really a fan of how aggressive you're playing Q9o. Hard luck with KK though. Can you ever get away from it?
maybe its bias but i swear every time he has AK and makes it 6$ he says how the betsize does okay and then goes 4-5way...
It does vary from table to table but I think at 1-2 3xBB is not enough unless you want 3-4 callers. And once somebody calls, it's contagious and everybody will do it.
Splitspew
Every time I see these pro videos I laugh because when you're playing one two you can forget all that GTO nonsense. They usually have it and in that game you are a payoff wizard. And they're more likely to call you down Good luck bluffing
Begin and end with Q9o. Both could/should have been folds. Why get involved with such trash preflop, especially when you aren't calling to close action, but have opponents behind who can attack your raise. Play of the both AKs also interesting. RFI with one and flat with the other (good explanation of rationale for flat.) With AKs that checks flopped flush draw, bets K on turn, and hits flush on river, case to be made for river check or small bet. If he has flush or even trips, he'll call your bet, but also would have bet himself so you could ck-raise. He might bluff river after ck or bluff raise a small river bet with missed gutshots. Over bet targets specifically KQ or KJ (KT would have raised turn even if it didn't bet flop) Decision depends on table read to maximize EV.
As a “middle aged player” I take mild offense at the “fairly straightforward” characterization! 😂🤣😂🤣. Seriously, you find that to be true more often than not?
More often than not, yes. And no need to take even mild offense =P
I dislike this flat of AKs (and I did read your book.) I think it's very unlikely even a "feisty" player is going to see UTG raise, +1 flat, and then lose his mind with A5s or 86s and squeeze. He's just going to assume you have jacks or ace-king and you don't want to get 4-bet but you feel like you can't fold, and that's why I dislike it-- you have what you look like you have. Instead they're going to call with all sorts of garbage, and you're going to hit one pair, and it's going to be hard to get the money in on an ace or a king-high board unless someone out-flops you. Their pile-it-in range is flush draws, open enders, and weird two pairs that beat you. It's hard for someone to have a dominated king and also elect to stack off with it on the flop given your line.
Rather than try to balance a flatting range in that spot 9-handed, I think if the table is bad and you really want to induce shenanigans behind, you can take a 'call only' strategy whenever you're in UTG+1 or +2 facing a raise. Then you don't have to bother balancing anything and you can easily evaluate the action behind and fold or backraise depending on who has lost control of themselves. Some players will see this action and flat a hand as strong as jacks, squeezing only when they have QQ+, and now, facing the squeeze, you are in a terrible position which could have been avoided if you made a chonky 3-bet and induced them to cold 4 their nut hands, thinking you simply would not fold. That is the only way you could get away from a cooler situation. Once you flat, now you kind of have to back-jam unless you *know* the guy is a total nit.
Q9o shouldnt even be opened IMO . Rest is just bcs of preflop blunder
Probably you don’t want to hear this or don’t agree with it but the way I see it you play all of your hands aggressively regardless of the strength of your hand or the flop or opponent play which you don’t give your opponent any credit no matter what he does showing a lot disrespect to their skills
really don't like the overbet with the AKs, every draw got there, you would have to be firing into 4 players on the turn with pure air for you to somehow how a bluff on the river given the front door came in and the main straight draw came in on the turn , and tbh , when you raise utg and get 4 callers and then the flop x's through, and then you fire on the king, your hand just looks like AK a lot , i know you're saying the guy is inelastic but it just doesn't make sense to polarize when you can't have any air in your range at all, you'd have to be turning like AJ or AQ ( with a heart ) into a bluff or maybe some type of PP like 77 or 88, it's just very unlikely that you'd fire ott into 4 people with any of these hands, just my 2 cents
Yeah, i can be on board with what you said, i think a 2/3 to 3/4 pot bet on the river would be the sizing i would go for.
He won the minimum there, I wouldve played every street differently
I agree but for a different reason. By the river we have just no value with an overbet. Nobody has a flush because we block it, nobody with a straight is going to play so passively on the turn, nobody with a pair/set is checking the flop with all those draws.
My guess is he had some sort of pocket pair or Kx, maybe KJ, and would have called a small bet but not an overbet. If Kx (which is more likely IMO), he would call a larger bet on the turn, especially if he's that inelastic.
Only a full house would call the overbet but I don't see how anyone can have that given the line.
Therefore you win a lot when you hit and opponent doesn’t and you lose a lot when your opponent hit and you don’t, pure gambling skills and very few times fold when you are behind
However most of your opponents are amateurs and new to you the nature of cash games so you play the aggressive method only
Wtf these preflop decisions are way too loose. 3bet with 86o to disincentivise blind stealing? How the hell are you supposed to play well post flop with such a wide range? You might as well be 3betting 70% here. Why not just wait for a different opportunity and make this play with suited gappers, connectors, pocket pairs, suited Broadway's..
Why isolate with Q9o vs a mp limp when you shouldn't even play Q9o unless folded to on the btn.
I don't mind if your channel was about entertainment but clearly it's supposed to teach people how are play good poker, which this vlog does the opposite of. At least tell the viewer when you know your plays are wrong.
man this game is garbage. even when our games were 100 or 200 cap, no one was raising to 6 and 10 over a limper? wrf is that shit? i'm in florid too and have never seen a game that terrible. you need to teach them the open raise dictates how big the game is and 12-15 is standard. 3 bet to 25? what in the f that is standard raise over a couple limpers at 1/3
cool content though
Q9 off is too loosey from HJ to play, better let it go and keep yourself out of kicker problems...
