Is this video with audio commentary?

Thanks,

[aislephive]

Yeah, courtsey of my crappy labtec mic.

[dan]

this was good. make more.

[Robert]

DLing right now, looking forward to this!

[jackvance]

Looks good. I watched the first few minutes. Will surely watch the whole thing when I have more time and patience.

[Robert]

Only watched 20" but looks good so far.

But why did you ditch Axs in the CO with a loose openlimper ahead of you (around 19")? This is always a raise (or sometimes a limp) for me.

[johnny_fish]

1.16 Q9s Do you only reraise with the NFD here?

You seem tight in the SB; I complete after a limper with any A, Kxs/Qxs, 32s+, 42s+, 87o+, even 64o+ if there are multiple limpers. I think I pick up enough small pots with Axo to make it +EV (>5:1 odds are great too).

You steal a lot on the button though, you even raise Qxs.. I only raise 32s+/53s+/T7s+/A8o+/Axs/K9o+/Q9o+/T9o+ there.

Well it was early and I wasn't too interested in chasing a dry flush draw for a slight overbet. I may should have at called or even reraised there and built a nice pot for when the flush hit.

Yeah I'm an absolute nit from the SB, I don't like playing Axo OOP against multiple players. I probably could have at least called with the A8o there, perhaps that was a bit too tight.

Yeah on the button I have a pretty massive range, from any suited face card like K3s to a lot of the offsuit one-three gappers like T8o - J7o, etc. Any ace as well. I played a bit tighter in this video than normal because every table I was at seemed to be full of loose passive 50 VPIP players. It was incredible, really. Normally there would be a lot more unopened pots to me in LP and I would have been very aggressive. But in this video sometimes there would be a really loose player on my left or in the blinds (or both) and I would pass on a hand I almost raise with.

Lately I've changed my game PF a lot to open up a ton in LP. I used to always pass on weak aces, hands like T8o on the button, etc., and I was like a 19/14 or something. Now I play around a 22/18 game which I think is pretty ideal.

Robert, I remember the hand you were speaking of, and I guess I just decided to look for a better spot there. That table had a ridiculous amount of loose passive players and I didn't like my prospects of raising and getting the pot HU, so I decided to just pass. A limp would be reasonable in that spot I suppose, I try to not open limp too much though if I can help it.

Thanks for the comments so far.

[Dislexsik]

Nice video.

[dsaxton]

Interesting video. I'm not done watching it, but it seems like you might play a bit too conservatively out of position. For example, I think the A-J hand in the big blind heads-up against one limper is a raise pretty much 100% of the time.

[ark4748]

"Hmm he had QJ, and QJ is obviously the nuts...." lol

nice stuff man

[jo]

I'm only about twenty mins in. There was one hand where you had 55 and the flop came something like Qs 9s 8s (you had no spade) and you c-bet. HU is there any combo of cards and flop where you wouldn't c-bet?

[mcatdog]

I've only had a chance to watch about 20 minutes so far. You look pretty solid, the only thing that bothered me was, it seemed like you paid almost no attention to who's in the blinds when you make a position raise with garbage. I don't think it's a money-making play to raise with a suited queen when one of the blinds is a short stack with a VPIP of like 50%.

I think I acknowledged in the video that betting that flop there was a mistake. Very draw heavy and I was up against a calling station, bad c-bet there by me.

McCatDog, I do pay quite a bit of attention to stack sizes as well as the overall table texture. Maybe raising Q4s there wasn't a massive +EV play but I don't see much wrong with it, even up against a loose blind. There are enough favorable flops there for me to do it.

Well if you don't c-bet he's almost certain to bet any two cards on the turn. I'm trying not to be too exploitable in these situations myself, by finding good places not to c-bet, but HU its hard. The only drawback seems to be that its exploitable if people wanted to checkraise, but no-one really seems to checkraise at NL.

There is a hand in this vid at about the 24 minute mark where you have AK an you suck out on some poor guy with 97s. Just thought you like to know that the turn is an obvious fold for you, this guy is one of the bigggest winners on party and the bestest players. In future please fold whenever he pushes unless he wants you to call. In that case please call.

[bluey]

I hope this is as good as tuff_fish vids.

I'm not going to lie, his are way better.

[r8ed]

Just watched the vid - good stuff. Please make more. Not too many crazy tough situations but you kept out of trouble when it made sense. The JJ preflop fold was interesting - usually call there knowing I'm most likely folding the flop unless I set. Stacking Irisheyes by checking was a nice play. I give it a B due to lack of really tough decisions.

[Secular Monk]

yeah, thanks for the vid-I 've watched it all the way through. Given my limited experience, I could probably watch it 20 times and still learn new stuff the 21st time.

I don't know how you guys multitable-I can barely keep up watching the moves that are made by someone multitabling.

If I remember right he didn't have odds to call for a set. I would have still called though. But hey, what do I know, I get stacked with 97s.
