Through the Limits.

Thanks for the new video! I've been coming and just refreshing the page hoping for a new one lol. I loved the hero call because I was thinking bluff too. CHAMPION!! Sucks that you weren't connecting with flops but it was informative none the less. Looking forward to the next one!

Great vid, loved the part where you explained the 88 vs 78 equity vs a toppair hand, realy had no id about that one, amazing!

I would love to see some handhistory's of hands that you find interesting, the hands i'm having some difficulties with are if i should 2/3-barrel bluf and what cards are good/bad etc..

Anyway's, thanks for the new vid, congrats on the good run in vegas and hope to see more soon!
Great serie!

Enjoyable video.

I laughed at how bad you ran though!

Looking forward to 50NL.

Cant wait to watch the vid this evening especially because I read he is running bad. Not that I dont wish him all the best but it is annoying to watch a video where he is 4-tabling and gets AA-KK-AQ-AJ every other hand. When I am 4-tabling (read: folding) an hour , I am lucky if I get AJ once in the whole session and I'll probalby be up against AK that one time.

ps: Is there anyone else noticing how tight and aggressive everybody plays lately at the lower limits!! I believe the "loose-passive" players are exterminated. I am seriously considering to stop playing at Full Tilt and see if there are more fish on other sites.

Yeah FTP's micro's are far tougher than a lot of the other sites.

Hi loltrickedu,

good vid and I was also amazed with the 78 vs 88 equity explanation. Great job.
Comments:

I tought that your JJ shove was pretty marginal esp. at this level. I have mentioned in the forums several times that at these limits 3-bets or calling 3-bets , you can really limit their range to : AA-QQ-JJ-AK.

I'd love to see some hand replays from other people (your students?). Your hand histories are probalby easier to explain for you but I think that most people here are not playing at your limits and you couldnt explain the mistakes that we make.

Your hero call with the AK was amazing. I had never called because I also overshove a pot sometimes with a good hand because it is supposed to be +EV (I never bluf). Most of the time you will not get called but if the stacks are deep enough it doesnt matter. If people call you like 20 percent of the time (which is not that naive at this level with their flush draws) you are already making more profit than letting them draw with a pot bet, they miss and fold to your river bet. Any thoughts about that?

You started immediatly at 50NL and builded your bankroll with sitngos? Can you tell more about that.

[DerekAreI]

yeah, the JJ shove seemed spewy cause at these limits you can almost be certain your dominated. hand histories are cool especially if they are odd or different plays. I would also be interested in finding how you just grinded sit and goes and then skipped to 50nl cause that's where I'm at now.

I think villain's play with KK in the hand where he stacked your JJ was fine. KK is not an auto 4bet against an unknown (which you should be to everyone there) at this level because 4bets are so rare that it sets off alarms and because people can't release overpairs postflop (I'm not criticizing your play in that hand--you obviously had to get it in there).

I definitely like it when you go over hand histories in addition to live play on the videos.

Thank you for including the comment about berating fish. I see so many people doing this at lower stakes, and usually it's donk-on-donk violence, but sometimes the decent players get into it too. I've even seen several hand histories posted on this site looking for strategy advice where the poster was berating someone in chat.

Guilty as charged.
