Love the vlog. great to see breakdowns of live hands. It's really going to help people (who want to get better) get better. I do disagree with your take on the recording at the table (re the irate guy) ... first come first come first serve IMO. If he's there first and doesn't want you recording, then you should abide by that. If you're seated first, he should wait for another table. Vlogging is not so common yet that it should be expected everywhere. To make poker accessible and welcoming takes some compromise, even tho you're there specifically to record.

Nice video! What do you think about the somewhat small bet on the turn with the A7 hand? Personally I don't really see what that would accomplish. I can't really see many worse hands continuing, except for the some weird 7x which the HJ ended up having. On the other hand, it seems good to make a larger bet like 60 bucks which would put a lot of pressure on hands with better showdown, like jacks, tens, AK, 8x, worse flushdraws since you would play two pair and sets the same way. And in case someones raises all in you might be positive EV with the flush draw even against sets, but I can't really see how any of them could have a set in this situation.

In the second hand (KsQs), would you fold after a check-raise with the possible hearts flush on the turn or would you call one bet?

Depends on the size, but it's tough for me to continue vs. most x/r ranges there at this limit.

what is 'my equity when i call' ? your videos are great for showing real bet sizing in live rooms. learning a lot, thanks !

18:09 It really depends on the two players ranges. If they are shoving any two cards we have like 41% equity and we only need about 28% so it's an easy call in that case but otherwise I think you were just overthinking it with fancy play syndrome. You would need like TT+ or AK (Even that might need to be suited depending on whether or not they stack off with like KQs or TT-JJ) I know someone told me their stackoff range is JJ+, AK, AQ, KQs and you need a big hand for that

AJ hand was a very nice fold. Absent being there myself I probably just auto-stack off here because my games play a little more aggressive where OESD's and FD's will attack the weak c-bet, but given UTG was the original PFR, "older guy" read, and still had two players to act behind him, your read seems correct that he's strong. As you said, AQdd probably just calls the bet and he doesn't seem like the player type to open 76s UTG leaving very few combos that could raise the flop.

Hey James, great vlog format! Absolutely enjoying your depth of analysis, but I do have a question. On your AJ fold on the flop, why didn't you give more consideration to the % that villains have a flush and/or straight draw? These guys are definitely jamming with those hands too no? And there are quite a lot of them?

@ThePokerBank

2 жыл бұрын

Cheers! In the AJ hand, an older player who raised UTG and then called a $40 total 3bet likely doesn't have any draws other than AdKd, AdQd, and *maybe* KdQd. It's very unlikely they would show up with other diamond combos or 98 type draws either imo.

on the AJo hand, ive found that B/F on these kinds of spots in 1/2 or micros online ive been right far more often than im wrong, ive found that most players at this level dont play draws super aggressively ive noticed, i also like 3betting the AJ from the SB as well, playing OOP absolutely sucks and recently ive employed a 3bet/fold strategy when playing OOP preflop and its been going incredibly well! I also think that with that raise with such a short stack at the table, i think you can take alot of the air out of the raisers range because he knows it will go to showdown reasonably often Ive also found that raising to 25-30 in the KT hand does the same that 35 would for the most part

@ThePokerBank

Not QQ specifically, just "nuttish hands too". And it's tough to describe as anything other than "a atypical slight stutter in movement"

I think the fold with AJ is really close but most likely good, however I don't know why you choose to bet so small in the first place. At spr of just over 1, my goal would be to get max value from worse Jx, 88-TT, flush draws, and denying equity from other random hands that have equity. I would pick a sizing more like 75, so that especially those pocket pairs feel like they're priced in, or perhaps just shove if I feel like the table dynamic was good. Your sizing does let you get away vs coolers like in this situation, but I have to imagine getting value outweighs the slim opportunity you can avoid a cooler?

great vlog again, James. Thanks for the free content. Great to look at your in game thought process and also some off table technical analysis. regarding vlogging at the table, i feel it's your responsibility to move tables if you're the one recording, esp if that player has already been playing. however if the majority of players are okay with it then i guess it would be no different than adding a straddle to the game. some rooms all you need is one nay vote, some rooms just move the player or force that game upon him provided a majority rule.

You would be appalled at the standard open size here in texas

I have a question, the card rooms here have much shallower stacks the $100 max buy in is $2/$3 and the $40 max is $1/$2. How would your play differ in these situations? Would you just all in shove a lot more and go high variance? Or would you just play smaller and go to a lot more multi-way pots

I would give him the occational slowplayed monster (AQ,AK,QQ-AA) and weigh it at 1/3, all the suited aces, halve of the offsuit aces, halve of the suited broadways, some random offsuite broadways, 99-JJ, and halve of 22-88. The HJ probably picked up on the EP2 behaviour otherwise his play doesnt make much sense, so i would put him on the occational traped monster (AQ,AK,JJ-AA) and weigh it at 1/4 cause he is in late position, AJ,AT, 1/3 of the suited aces, some random suited broadways, 88-TT, and halve of 22-77

Again like these live break dwn formats... But I think you were little hard on the I want to be on vlog guy.. if you were on the other side with his hand at least 53.7% of the time you would tell us that firing on that 2nd 8 on the river will make a 7 fold for the take dwn....

I hate being either photographed or filmed in any situation by strangers and even by the Mrs, family or friends because 1) I don't trust Facebook or the internet in general because of my knowledge of it and do my best to keep my likeness off of there at all costs (Eg: maintain privacy to avoid scammers or identity theft anyone?) and 2) cause I have a head that was made for radio 🤣 I would however, have no objection if issued with a pre upload copy of the vlog and given the opportunity to raise any concerns about identifying features I may prefer edited out other than game play - call me slightly paranoid in relation to overall online presence but in this day and age I'd rather be that than the alternatives I know to be present in this convenience we enjoy.

Often they are nothing but rationalizations particularly for the beginning and intermediate level. And they are almost never tracked. If they were, you'd see plenty of contradictions...even with experts. And nothing about that will ever change as it relates to close spots. It's part and parcel of the game. This is the main entrance luck uses to remind you of its power. You have to learn to find peace with this maddening part of the game. There's no solution that kicks luck to the curb and forever keeps it there. Well, except...

And even the AQ shove (after just one orbit playing with that female opponent) is thin in my opinion as well, especially considering that most females are definitely on the tighter spectrum of things. (but glad that hand worked out well for you) In the last hand with 87s when you bet 22 into a $ 85 pot into 2 players, i can not see the merit of that bet. You say "maybe they will fold out their 55, 66 etc.", but those are the only hands you beat and i don't see them calling with those on that board in a 3-way pot. (Ok, you could get called by AK, AT, KT etc.) I think betting this hand against 2 players on that particular board is not doing anything for you, i don't see you getting 2 folds on this board, even hands like 99 or TT are calling there probably. All you are doing is bloating the pot out of position, kind of block betting and hoping you don't get raised and pick up equity on the turn. I can understand the original 3-better showing up there with AK a lot, but i really don't understand what the other player had there, calling there and not even beating your hand. (maybe something like AT(s), KT(s)) Good fold with the AJ. Like you said, most players with the nut-flushdraw there with hands like AQs will either shove there or just call, but not raising half their stack and shoving the rest on the turn. For that reason it had to be one of the 2 sets most likely, 66 or 77, and it was one of them in the end. Very nice vlog. Keep them coming sir. Good luck.

Cheers! 1. KT: Do you feel the same way after seeing the math breakdown? What ranges are you assigning to make it a fold? (Not saying you're wrong btw, just trying to look at the spot as mathy/objectively as possible). 2. AQ: Fair. 3. 87: The bet folds out some equity and also buys me 2 cards a LOT of the time (plus my improvement cards should offer minimal RIO while offering some nice IO if sized well). The size is also cheaper than the size of a bet that I might face if I check the flop OR a bet that the SB might make on the turn if the flop checks through. I think you're right that the CO had some sort of AT/KT type hand.

@@ThePokerBank love your work James! I wanted to jump into this comment to ask about the 87 bet of $22 on the flop. If you had KQ KJ or QJ, would you have made the same size bet? Presumably not… i would imagine half pot at least. So then doesn’t it send info to your opponents that you have a drawing or mediocre hand perhaps?

Was it Kyle? Was Kyle throwing a fit? You're moving in on Kyle's turf. I bet it was Kyle. (I tried to use the sarcasm font but it didn't copy when I pasted) More poker vlogs is more better.

lol. it was NOT Kyle =)

The KT hand was played like garbage, and Sweeny is trying to justify it.
