I'm using this blog post to share my thoughts on the video posted by andrewgreve

_____________________________________________________________


Table 3 - 00:22 Whole hand looked pretty horrible, although I'm not sure if you had a read because this guy is insane.

However, I will assume no history and that villain is a random.

98o Preflop is a bad call - could be ok if suited and he was playing 100bb.

You shouldn't raise flop or bet turn.

Call flop because you have decent equity against any hand (including sets) but by raising you (normally) fold out worse hands and keep in ones that beat you (not what actually happened I know but the theory is sound).

Turn - when he bet/calls the flop he should really have top pair minimum. Take a free card because by betting you turn your hand into a bluff as his turn check/calling range 'should' be ahead of your hand.

Table 3 2:04 - A7h you can open UTG.

Table 3 3:30 A5o is a bad defend, 3bet as a bluff or fold, you can't make any hand for value so take the initiative or fold. I do like the donk bet on that board though.

Table 3 5:40 - AQ played perfectly but make a note he made a blocker bet (1/3 pot) on the river with 2nd pair

Table 3 7:30 - 53o bet the flop when checked to, as played bet 0.15 on turn and raise just less then pot when the c/r the turn. Just BET MORE in general. You gave him a chance to get away if a 4 or 6 came on the river.

Table 3 9:00 I would open to 5x. Check raising makes no sense, why turn TT into a bluff? Normally I would cbet this dry board 1/2 pot for protection vs overcards or check/call to bluff catch.

Table 3 10:30 ATo is not really strong enough to call here although suited it may be.

Table 3 11:54 77 is a good fold vs. a nits 3bet

Table 3 13:15 bet the flop as before.

Table 2 13:54 I would open JTs here

Table 1 14:47 your note should say 'Limps 99, then shoves 100bb over a 3x raise and a call. Also make a note that the other player flatted AKo oop to you iso of a limper.

Table 3 17:12 This a good sb open vs. a nit and a good note

Table 1 18:22 Kx is an open from the sb imo

Table 2 21:14 just bet the flop he is check folding a lot here. Be prepared to bet 2 streets in case he gets stubborn with AK.

Table 2 22:26 you can open K8s from the effective UTG+1 with a nit in the bb

Table 1 23:57 make a note this guy 3bet jammed his whole 200bb stack!

Table 3 24:30 AT played perfectly - but your note is wrong. You should not re-raise 'when you have it' because you need to let him keep bluffing his air - re-raising folds out his bluffs, let him keep bluffing and call down with decent top pair type hands. Also note his river bet was half pot to fold out missed flush draws - his value bets may be a different size which we may see later.

Table 3 26:05n I would 3bet 86o as a bluff here. He has reg stats, our image is clean and it is really hard for him to continue without a premium hand.

Table 2 28:38 Great river overbet and exactly what I would do. After that I would just shove over his minraise; he never folds a Q here and he has way more bare Qs, flushes and str8s in his range than full houses. BTW I made sure I typed that before I saw what he had

I agree with a lot of the comments. Here's some of my opinions:

Table 3 - 00:22 Looks like a great spot for a 3bet here with 98o, given he's already raised 3 out of 10 hands. Follow up with a cbet on any dry board. People give your first 3bet huge respect. The second time against the same player, you should have more of a hand. At 10NL, this might be a profitable 3-bet with any two.

If you don't 3bet preflop, I would fold.

As played, I like the flop raise...I think he has two overs a lot here

Table 3 - 5:02 I would definitely 3bet AQo for value there...he's raising a wide range

Table 1 - 5:40 Looks like a good squeeze spot w/ QJo
As played, I like the flop lead

Table 3 10:30 ATo I'm kinda torn between 3betting, calling and folding...but I would favor a 3bet given his pfr percentage.

Table 2 11:10 64s is well worth the price of admission imo, but if you limp it you have to attack dry flops.

Table 2 12:00 56s I'd raise it up to 0.80 preflop. The 4/4 will fold basically her entire range...you'll even get her to fold AQ and TT there a lot, and she would have 3bet AK/AA/KK. The other dude is going to fold the vast majority of the time also because your play looks so strong.

Table 3 13:45 56s same as above, worth a limp

Table 1 14:00 Q9s I would raise at least to 0.40 given the limper, otherwise you don't have much fold equity

Table 1 19:30 ATo I lean towards a cbet there because of the backdoor flush...if you get a caller I would fire turn on any spade or any card T or higher

Table 3 19:35 44 raise it up preflop

Sorry to clutter up your blog here Donkadocus. This is in response to Dec1's vid (I made it about 2/3rds thru):

1:51 A10 OOP w/ 3 limpers I would make it between $1.50 and $2.
That cbet is too small. I would only cbet less than half pot in two situations:
1) on a very dry board
2) if I planned to follow up with a big (pot size) turn bet

3:28 QJo On this hand you bet big on a dry board. If you're betting big when you have it and light when you don't it's going to be obvious very quickly to anyone paying attention.

3:45 JTo You just saw this dude call a raise w/ Q4o. You know he's calling that flop with all kinds of garbage. I'm barreling that turn for sure, he's folding most of his range (which is mostly trash). I'm also firing the river hits if an ace comes, and possibly other scare cards.

8:44 AJo Gotta c-bet that board imo since you've got the ace of spades. Fire turn on any spade, jack or ace.

13:00 88 Good fold, his minraise preflop and check on flop both indicate a big hand

15:30 AJs I would raise that turn somewhat small. He's rarely getting away from his overpairs, and may even call with two overcards and a big diamond.

33:54 KJo Gotta raise that to iso the fish

36:10 Q5o Bet this flop with any two, they'll always give you credit for a king...easy money. As played, bet that river...you know he basically never has a king, so that J will make him fold if he happens to have a pair of 6s or somthing.

37:20 7Ts You gotta 3bet these spots at least some of the time. I would 3bet here 100% of the time until I started getting 4bet light (never happens at these limits)

General comments for dec1:
- you snap check a lot when you're giving up...that's making it too easy on your opponents
- you're rarely 3betting light. At this limits it's very profitable to 3bet the heck out of people from the button.
- you are playing very fit or fold. you leaving a lot of money on the table by not doing things like stabbing at limped pots on dry boards, etc. You're also making yourself easier to play against.
