Good to book a win even if it’s modest. :)

Outstanding card playing and analysis. Only misstep was the pocket 9's. Another great vlog, thank you.

QQ v 55 hand play was fine. Probably saved you some money since he’s not folding to a small 3 bet. GG and nice vid as always.

With all the ladies you were getting Id think this was a different type of vlog ;) happy to see you turn some of the awful run bad around. Hope the next one is a monster win!

You made a bunch of really good folds here. Seemed a bit nitty, but you seemed to be right on all of them. Good vid👍

Andrew, glad to see you book a win. Keep it going.

A win is a win. Keep it going. Nice vlog!

Yes; any profit is good. :) Keep grindin'

I’ve recently been playing here also. Tons of action, loose players, large preflop raises get called, etc. Simplified my strategy to just play better hands and be in better position, lower VPIP, strategy seems to be working...GL

Great vlogs Andrew! I just started grinding live cash games again recently and I'm very happy even with a modest win. Sometimes I'm stuck like 400 early then am grateful being +100 when the session ends.

From viewing all your vlogs and paying close attention, you appear to be an excellent poker player and an even better person. JMO, but I think you're underestimating and undervaluing your talents and the application of your talent. Poker's great and I have to assume you make a reasonable living at it, but unlike many other vloggers, I think you could be doing much bigger and better things with your talent. Again, just my opinion and I only know what I see here, but it might be worth your time to think bigger. You seem like a good guy who could do great things.

I try to do the right things on and off the felt, so I really appreciate the kind words, Steven. I split my time between poker and doing some non-profit work, both of which are fulfilling as it pertains to the "financial side of life." I also find a lot of enjoyment making the vlogs because it's an opportunity engage with others in a manner that is not typically available through just playing the game. Glad you enjoy the content!

Congrats on the win! Hey, any win is better than a loss, and you'll have a big win soon enough. I booked my first significant win of the year *finally* after 23 sessions this year lol ($1,600 win in a 2-3-5 at Graton). I really miss the Bay 101 dailies, and especially the Shooting Star tournament. Hope they bring those back soon. I'm more of a tournament player than a cash game player anyhow.

Your discipline with the A9 hand is something that I need to learn. I think that theoretically it is a call, but villains don't have enough bluffs to call in that spot, so your fold was correct in most live games. I need to learn how to adjust like that. Good video

You navigated all of those coolers really well. Saved yourself lots of money by check calling and check folding instead of making "value" raises like I see so many other people do. In other words you seem to have a keen sense for knowing when you are beat, and the discipline to act accordingly.

on the QQ vs 55 where you did not 3bet, unless your 3bet was gonna be 4x or so, you likely would have gotten stacked since the 55 was likely to continue. the tight player that kept showing you the goods saved you a TON. well played session.

Enjoy your hand breakdowns!!! I tend to mirror your line of thinking. Can't seem to find a good answer. With unknown players, what position do you open with small pairs like 6s-2s?

@AndrewLokPoker

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the game/players, so it's hard to give an exact answer for live games. Generally, you can get away with opening pocket pairs from most positions in 1/3 games. In 2/5 and 5/10, gotta tighten up a bit.

It's player dependent on whether to continue or shut down the river. That said, if you're gonna go for it on the turn, you're supposed to fire that river bullet and try to rep AA/KK. Bluffing rivers is the exhilarating part of poker!

Like the line with qq vs 55 a lot, even though it didn’t work this time! Results oriented you said not 3! cost you the hand, but I don’t think 55 is folding to any reasonably sized 3!

@johncobb2562

3 жыл бұрын

Exactly what I thought too. Could've ended up costing Andrew even more, although maybe not since he made some really good folds.

You're making some impressive folds! Keep it up!

99 fold the flop. QQ twice, early folds. There's an allure to big pairs on bad boards. 3-4 to a straight or flush which often hits 2 pair. Sets don't matter since you're dead anyway.

Am I crazy or did you win the first hand with the nut flush but then the pot gets pushed to the other player?

I didn't capture the actual table footage of that hand, so instead, I shared the hand history and used some other general table footage from the session.

Just because he opened 55 doesn’t mean he isn’t studied, you can began to open those hands n EP when you are not getting 3 bet.

Didn't say he wasn't studied. Said the opposite actually with the caveat that he opened lighter than I thought he would.

If you 3bet pre with pocket queen's he might still call with fives so you saved money luckily!

Yah, it worked out this time.

I think 55 is calling a 3-bet and spiking that set on you anyway. You would definitely have lost more with queens had you 3-bet. Clearly that's 20/20 hindsight.

Imo, I think you lost the minimum with the first two Qs hands. No guarantee he goes away to a three bet as he might go set mining. Had the right reads the whole session, just ran into a cold deck a few times.
