Hi mate,

decent vid IMO, keep playing) Maybe I'm not that experienced, anyway decided to put some thoughts that might help you.

First of all, just imo, at these stakes I don't see the point to raise 3BB from CO/BTN, I'm putting a standard pot bet regardless of position.


~15min, raised 86 OTB
I prefer to dump small offsuit gappers... Just sucks playing them, I mean you rarely flop much, the only good draw is OE-straight, if you hit a pair it's almost no more than one street of value etc.

17:17 Don't get why do you fold KQs UTG

20:03 You folded 89 in the cutoff but opened 86 OTB earlier... The button will likely call, other than that I don't see the point to fold this hand, and anyway I would have raised.

~23:10 Don't get why do you raise smaller than pot here

23:39 bet/fold turn is better IMO, with about halfpot bet on blank river

27:40 I would put a half-pot cbet or just check behind to disguise hand strength. You don't need to "merge" against these players, let them catch something if you crush the flop.

~30 min: Actually the guy had almost nut-nonpair, that's more than air))

~32:30: I think you can't fold on that flop, call is fine

39:50: I'm never calling 3bets with small PPs, I just beleive in what I've seen discussed many times - it is not worth it. Anyway, nice catch! On that board, I think it was ok to call the turn bet and try to get maximum on the river.



And two more things:

Maybe it's a common knowledge.. I really enjoy using pokertableratings.com to lookup opps while playing, immediately you get basic idea who is who at the table. So now I'm never playing tables with more than 1 reg sitting, and it takes not much time to find out (usually I know it before my BB is coming).

Also, there are so many tables at FTP that I tweak filters to the "maxfish mode" and still see several tables with 4-5 players exactly. I mean, I saw the huge list of full tables in your lobby, my point is it is a nice option to cut down full/empty tables, will be easier to look through.

yah i think u didnt even see the KQ suited.. u just thought it was kq. which i still wouldnt fold.

I also thought maybe u could of got more value at end with that set of 4's. With such a dry board call his turn bet and hope he bets again. I know you think its not worth the extra risk but what happens if he hits his 2nd pair? You will likely get all of his chips.

I thought your play was very solid though. I wish i could play as good sometimes.

thanks for the video.

couldn't actually see the players stats...however.
My thoughts (chronologically...if you know what I mean)

- turn on auto muck
- A6 is a steal OTB
- JJ in CO vs REG OTB: either fold or 4bet. In general, in the CO, the range starts to widen up a lot. REG knows that and 3bets you straight away! I would 4bet a lot there.
- 98o cutoff is a raise (first in)
- AJ in SB vs REG OTB: 3bet him! That's also good for your further image against him. He will slowdown with steals after that. Don't always think "wow, he is a REG, so he is good!" - as soon as you find out that someone is a REG, you're a REG too! So you know what his range is OTB... and your're ahead of his range with JJ.
- TT hand: 3bet bigger (to $1.30). I'm not even sure if I would 3bet from the blinds with TT against a limper and a raiser...
- AK: flopped two pair on very dry board (from your point of view). You have pos. too! check back and get some more money on later streets.
- 44s at the end: call turn. on the river he sits there with another 4 bucks and something like a 11 dollar pot in the middle....maybe he shoves. If he doesn't shove - you shove!


Two more things:
1) you cbet every single board in this session. That's too much! A REG will sooner or later play back at you.

2)Adjust your risk to the situation: should mean, define your cbet size based on the board structure. 95% percent you bet something like 70-80%. For a basic strategy, this is a good amount. But sometimes you need to vary (draw heavy board can go up to potsize, while on a dry board maybe 50% is enough).
