great video.

one thing drove me nuts thought. mxrider, how can you play with out the bet sizing turned on. that would drive crazy

Yeah, looks like your settings need some improvement: you need to manually click on pot size and then bet size in order to determine your actions, just make it auto show, it will reduce your deduction time by at least 1 second to think


Also I wish I could put my video to review but I play 9-10 tables and play rather passive, unless I have some reads on opponents, but actually it doesn't take long.
And I Far Far Far agree with LolTrickedU that massive multitabling increases and improves your game a LOT faster then multitabling.Here' s example:
I have like 30 AA and KK per sesson so I know when I need to play pot control and when I need to bet shit out of my opponent.
Initiallly with this short time for thinking I was making a lot of mistakes, but as far as it goes you have more read on you opponent.


Here's example: I have QQ, I raise, my opponent calls , flop comes, I see that it hits his range a lot, and he even probably ahead, so I would play for pot control. Comes river I bet for value just in case; but he reraises, clear signal he is currently ahead, but as far as pot control on the flop I still can profitably call cause I have outs to improve(if for example I bet, he calls, and on the turn he shoves I would have to fold - no even implied odds to call, so basically multitabling helps you for usual situations to be a lot common), on the river we catch our card we get his stack, if not we loose 1/2 of our stack and in the long run we are still profitable.

1. You are OOP and there is only going to be one flop that you can play comfortably with your small PP here, and that is if you hit your set. Any other flop is going to be difficult to play postflop and OOP.

Well, this is true. That being said, imagine another scenario.

UTG+1 raises. SB flats. What are you going to do?

If indeed a raise was bad for THAT reason, you should fold here I think?

Small pocket pairs are hands that are quite possibly the easiest to play out of position, you see them played from any position including UTG, I just don't see what makes this case different. They are a very playable hand. A playable hand, you raise. You will often take down the pot without hitting, and when you do hit, you will be very happy that there's a lot of money in the pot. The situation they don't work well against is short stacks. But there's one healthy stack in the pot, with a semi-decent hand.

What could UTG+1 have? Maybe a small PP himself, maybe a suited connector, maybe some suited ace or broadway. I think the chance that he is going to call your cbet without hitting is quite slim. The shorty completing from small blind I expect to fold preflop a high percentage of the time, people complete with ridiculous things on it. Do you think he's not doing that? That's the only reason I can imagine for hating a raise here.

If the stacks were reversed, with UTG+1 being the short stack, then I would not like a raise here, because now the shorty whom we want out of the pot will likely call, and the healthy whom we want want want in the pot will likely fold. But even a short stack will fold a SB completion SUCH a high percentage of the time here... won't he? If the only other player in the pot was SB, even then I would probably raise his limp, because he just has total garbage here so often.

If it was actually a tight SB, then it would again be a radically different situation. But readless, at these stakes, the short stacks are terribad 90+% of the time, and will call with nearly ATC for "just 10 cents".

In short, SB I expect to fold pre high percentage of the time, UTG+1 I expect to fold to cbet high percentage of the time, combined with the effect of building a pot in case we DO hit this should be enough to make a raise at least OKAY. Not so?

2. Your raise is going to be getting a little less credit since you are doing exactly what it looks like.

Sorry I can't see what you mean here, a little less credit compared to what?

it makes life a lot easier when there is a raise and a reraise, then you know how much the individual bets were instead of just the exact amount of the last bet.

under options on the main screen it says "display bet amounts"

Great vid mxrider and thanks for the commentary Trikkur. Mx, I hope you found Trikkur's comments as informative as I did.

Thanks also for submitting a vid like that. Dunno if I would have the courage to do so.
