A9 offsuit is ok to occasionally raise, steal, put pressure, etc, on SB, button, cut off, hi Jack, depending on situation, etc. Also ok to limp that on SB, button, cut off, hi Jack, when behind other limpers in front, have good pot odds, etc. Also good to call with that on BB vs a small 3 X standard raise, with good pot odds, depending on situation, etc. Also good to once in occasional while, standard 3 X bb open raise A9 off from low jack, early position, middle position, to overcome card dead periods, not play with hand face up, mix things up, balance out your range, etc. Also A9 is ok to occasionally 3,4 bet once in while, depending on situation, etc. And it's ok to occasionally call a 3 bet with A9 depending on situation. Also 6,7,8,9 X bb raise squeezes with A9, occasionally, once in while can be ok, depending on situation to steal, scoop blinds, antes, limp ins, etc, once in while, depending on situation. Also A9 off is ok occasionally once in while to resteal reraise depend on situation. A9 off depending on situation, is not a auto automatic fold preflop, etc.

I think your bluffs are off because you bluff in some wrong spots. Can’t check check and bluff river. You will get called most of the time.

What about adding a category for good players, crushers, and wizards? I play in a terrific 1/3 game and the player pool is very wide. But there are several very competent players--I would think your fellow vlogger, Doug, would be one of the competent ones. How about adding a "Doug" category?

This is the hardest part of poker...

Hi, I'm new to your channel. Thanks for your content. How do you classify players like me that don't fit your color scheme? I am a semi tight to semi moderate tightness to looseness ratio, about a 24% VPIP, and see the flop about 26,27% of time in sit n go's, tournaments, cash games. I am semi aggressive, and bluff about 7 to 17 to 33% of the time, depending on situation(1 time I went all in every 2,3,4 hands no matter what I had preflop, because nobody at table called unless had AA. Went on to win that 115 person $50 buy in tournament for a $900 win)(was at a tribal casino). My playstyle, etc, is I play positional poker, and a mix of exploitative, and GTO mix, combination, into 1 method, style. I cbet about 49% to 67% of time depending on situation, game, tournament, position, table, player, skill edge, stack sizes, etc. I am a semi winning, semi poker shark, etc, player. Have been playing since about 2005, for about 17,18,19 years both at Brick and mortar casinos, and online. Offline I have cashed about 115 to 125 to 135 out of about 300 tournaments, and cash about 36% of sit n go's, tournaments, etc, and have about a 19% ROI in tournaments, sit n go's, cash games, etc, both online, offline, etc. I have read, studied, applied, learned from my poker coach, mentor, Harrington on Hold Em, Super System by Doyle, Full Tilt Tournament green book by Chris Ferguson, Helmuth's poker book, skalansky's poker book, Full Tilt poker academy, Upswing Poker, J Little's Poker coaching academy, 2+2 poker forums, Bart Hanson at Crush Live Poker, Nathan Blackrain Poker videos, Doug Polk videos, Poker Profit Vlog, numerous poker blogs, experience, etc. So if someone like me was at your table, how would you label them?(I"m often mislabeled by everybody at the tables in some form) I think you need to come up with a color for a poker shark, winning player, etc, as I don't think your color scheme accounts for players like me, sharks, winning players, etc. As for how you did, I agree with you, that you need to widen, expand your ranges, work on your bet sizing, make more multi purpose bets that make draws pay too much, extracts value, turn hands into semi bluffs, protects hands from draws, etc, that bigger bets, about 3/5 to 2/3 to 3/4 to 4/5 to pot to 1.5 pot to double pot to all in, etc, depending on situation, etc. I do think you need to bluff more, and when bluff, pick better spots(altho sometimes you probably do bluff in good spots, and just keep running into buzz saws), and need to Tilt less, and know when to quit, etc. Hope that helps you, others. Thanks again for your content. Hang in there, and good luck, etc.

I’m basically a regular/donkey mix 😆

Glad you got your dog a nice couch! Might need to get him a buddy to share it with lol. A couple thoughts; on your J9 hand after your 3bet, I think you kinda played your hand face up. Against that opponent it probably wouldn't matter but if you had a missed AK you would probably downbet to $40 after 3betting to $45. If you play your made hands the same way you play your missed hands (especially on the flop) you'll look polarizing to opponents and be tougher to play against. On your A2 of spades flush, I think you could've bet larger when you made your flush. The opponent had nothing this time, so no matter what you did you weren't getting paid but when the opponent does make a flush you want max value. How many times have you seen opponents fold even a 5 high flush? I feel like they're almost never folding that. Also, some opponents will even call a large bet with like QJo type hand with 1 spade. Great content and love the vlog! Looking forward to seeing you crush your end of year goal!

@@NorCal_PokerMy pleasure! It's great to have some Sacramento content!

I understand some of your play, but some of your cbets are abit off. Like KQ on A52 multiway is just pure check. Even heads up like CO vs BB, good Kx usually checks here, since not much worse folds to a bet and Bb has all suited Ax. Also when you 3b QQ and get 4b clicked to 120, i think jamming is the worst option. I think you could make an argument for folding even, since the 4b click is just so nutted in low stakes. At best, you are against AK, since they are never/ever/ever finding the bluff here with like A5s/ATs/KQs etc. All in all nice play and good results! I might have to hop in the GG game 😂

QQ is a fold facing a 4 bet, especially in low stakes. Their range is AA, KK, and AK - a flip or getting crushed.

A9o BU: I'm not sure about the cbet here. This flop is going to be hit by villain a lot, with pairs, straight and flush draws. You think villain would bet tiny with his nuts and overbet with bluffs? 1. Not many players overbet. 2. That strategy seems backwards, since you are not folding your good hands to overbets and your marginal and trash hands will fold to just about any bet. J9s: "SB should always be 3bet or fold" - unless BB is terrible and calls wide. KK: Not much you can do so mw. 86ss: You are much more likely to get called on the flop, somewhat less likely to get called on the turn than on the flop. I just bet early hoping overcards, pp, draws call. QTo: "Seemed a little small for a mw pot" - bets SHOULD be smaller in mw pots. "With this small sizing out opponent is saying he has a weak top pair or an absolute monster." Those two hand types should have completely different bet sizing. Truthfully, a weak top pair should be checking this turn a lot. A2dd: You're going to be easy to play against. Your bet sizes are governed by the strength of your hand. Just bet the turn big. There's a possible flush draw and the T brings a straight draw. You could have either of those hands too. Just bet everything large and make people guess whether you are strong or weak. 85 is way too small. With only 340 to start, I'd just jam turn.

I play tournaments for fun. Poker cash games have all the players you described but what about the ones that are decent and have unlimited bankrolls. I have seen guys drop 2K and just keep buying in. You get pocket AA and the board come 7 2 and they bet you all in. You lose every time. I know that is poker but I do not want to play against people with so much money they can run over the table. So I do not get involved in these type of games.
