VIDEO DISCUSSION: allinballin78 1 - 5NL: Looking for leaks, etc

**THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION OF allinballin78 1 - 5NL: Looking for leaks, etc**

My first video for Pokertrikz. I wanted to make this video to find out what my leaks are, and if anyone has any constructive criticism please let me know. A lot of people assume micros is easy but for some of us we are trying to improve while running into a wall. I know I'm not a good player now but am willing to put the time and effort to become one. I am currently in a break even stretch and can't really figure out what's going on.Thanks for watching!

is it ok to 3-bet so much? im just a 2NL break even guy, i usually play 1$ DoN games. i probably havent 3-bet in my entire 4month poker career as much as allinballin78 did in this single video.

He doesn't 3-bet much at all. Allinballin's problem is being a super-nit!


Waaaay too many nitty checks and whatnot in the video. For example, with 55 oop on TT3 you should have bet for value and to protect your hand. When your opponent plays [i]so[i] passively, not betting the river is sin because he calls here with any A, usually a K, and possibly even a Q.

A9 on A58ss: How can you fold to a donk bet here? I was shocked when I saw that. Villain's range is soooo weak, I really don't know why you folded. You're also ahead of "most aces" assuming he 3-bets AQ+.

Will watch more later, but don't be a nit! Open up in position as well; raise those suited connectors!

First off thanks for the suggestions. I guess I am WAY too nitty, and losing a lot of value. It's just I'm so lost between getting value and screwing myself on these TT3 boards by betting 55. I mean if I get called wouldn't I be behind always?

Also getting donked, I usually raise it up but I always end up having the worst hand.

I made this video because I am at my wit's end, and wanted advice from other players. It took me a couple of sessions to do voice commentary to be honest as I was embarrassed lol, but I want to win so bad, it was worth getting past.

combover: I got some advice from another player to add 3betting in position to punish limpers, or to do this with players who would fold to 3bets often. It's a new thing I'm adding so I might be doing it a bit too much.
