Default Stars 50NL 4-tables

Hey guys,

This is my first vid ever. The quality of the video is good imo, not sure about the quality of the play. There's no commentary because I don't have a mic and I was initially going to do it so Probability could review it and he asked for no commentary, but I think he's been overloaded with vids.

Feel free to check it out and comment on my play.

Its 339 megs which, tbh, Im just not bothered to DL cos its too big. Either your vid is 4hrs long or you need to render it before uploading. It should really be approx 30-45 mins long imo.

it's 45 mins. what do i use to render it to make it smaller?

i actually tried rendering it using windows movie maker and it came out to about 150mb, but it was terrible quality.

2 mins table 2: 44 in CO. With shorty in BB I would be min raising/folding. Raising to 2 is bad as I think once shorty shoves you should fold.

10 mins: Q 9 hate the raise OTB. The hand plays well in multi way pots. Once done and you flop 2nd pair that is a standard call also imo

12 mins: KQo table 1. Reraise or fold. Calling and folding flop is too weak.

14 mins A3o on table 1. C/R is terrible, villain will not be calling with a worse hand and I hate turning TP into a bluff.

17 mins: A8o OTB table1. Check flop back, there are a lot of 2 pair hands in SB's range and if they bluff raise you should fold.

25 mins TT on table 2: Raise size to 4.5 BBs UTG is too much imo

26 mins A9 table 1. Give up when flush hits, you are OOP with a marginal hand. Difficult to extract value from worse.

27 mins table 1: QTo. Fold preflop. You are not getting the implied odds and villains pre flop range is really small.

28 mins Q5o table 2. Just fold, your hand is a bag of spanners and the limpers don't fold often enough pre or post flop for it to be profitable. As played, the turn when checked to you twice. Your line is so weird that your hand looks like 66 or nothing on the river. Any half deent player should be calling you super light in the river.

30 mins table 2: 86o in BB. Folded to SB who min raises. I would just fold this and defend with hands like QT/KJ etc. Also, your 3bet is huge, Making it $3.50 is fine. Once called and he donks I wouldnt be making it so large either, his calling/folding/raising range to your raise of his donk is inelastic so he will perform the same action if you make it $8 rather than $13.

31 mins table 1: AQ UTG raises to 3X, you 3 bet to 11.5X, I think thats a little too much as you will have position post flop and if he 4bets you should be folding imo.

33 mins A6 You raise OTB, called in SB by a donk. When you cbet flop what hands are you hoping to get value from. I would check back flop and try and get 2 streets of value from there.

33 mins Table 4. 34 YOur raise size is too big. BvB. $1.50 is fine

34 mins: Table 2: 3betting QJo is bad even versus this donk

34 mins Table 1: K8o is a fold.

39 mins Table 2: I am not a fan of the 3bet with A7o also versus same donk as the QJo hand.3bet size still too big regardless imo.

42 mins: QJ Table 4. Why are you merging your flop raising range. YOu are much better off calling and seeing a turn. Once he calls and the A turns I would be checking behind as his contining range from the flop raise is much stronger so betting that turn is pretty bad imo as you have turned a hand with a lot of showdown value into a bluff.

43 mins Table 2: JJ in SB. 23/18 who has been solid raises UTG and flatted by the retard. Why are you 3betting????????? You have a great hand to see a flop and you get to keep UTG's range as wide as possible and retard will likely stack off with worse post flop. Again, you are narrowing villains ranges and you have to play the hand OOP postflop if called. Raise 78 instead. There is no need to merge you SB 3betting range at micros, Keep it more polarised imo. As for shoving that turn, I can think of no worse way to play this hand barring folding preflop. You were only aided by how badly villain played his overpair with no

44 mins: 89o on table 2. I would 3 bet this hand preflop. If it was suited I would be more inclined to call.

44 mins Table 4. 3betting ATo from the blinds is just terrible. Post flop I just cant see too many hands you are getting value from when you bet the river. I think you should be c/c'ing here considering this is a 3bet pot and draws missed, i.e. let villain bet any missed draws as they likely fold most/all marginal hands you beat imo.

Overall you seem solid, but you cbet too much on the wrong type of flops and bet sizing should be looked at a little imo. Also, you seem to double barrell a lot and look for value too thinly sometimes and end up value cutting yourself.

Thanks Fuzzy. Very helpful. I agree that I should spend more time looking at my bet sizing. I am probably habitually 3betting too large.

The one hand I really disagree with you on is the KQo at 12 mins. Villain has 30bb and min raises on the button. I don't like 3betting because I almost have to call if he shoves. And if he folds my immediate profit is only 2bb. I'd be much more inclined to 3bet here if he makes a 4x raise because my immediate profit is much more.

I also hate folding KQo getting 3.5 to 1. That just seems terrible.

That left me with calling as the best option.

Watching it again that JJ hand is disgusting. How do you suggest I proceed if I call the raise and the flop comes down as it was? I don't really like c/c, b/f, b/c, or c/r.

Can you please explain merging? You alluded to it a couple times, I've heard it mentioned on some vids, but never really understood it. Especially the first one. QJs at 42 mins. What am I merging my flop raising range with?

Thanks alot!

Wow, had written a huge post and then the site had a "moment" and I lost it all. Cliff notes I suppose.

KQo is fine, just my preference to 3bet/fold it to $3.

JJ hand, I would call pre and take it from there. Likely that UTG bets and you get to see what retard does before having to act.

Merging: Think of your range as a line of hands from 0-10 with 10 being your strongest hand on that flop. Now when you raise and villain folds you likely had the best hand anyway but what you should be thinking about is villains flop continuing range which is going to be far stronger than yours. Thus you put yourself in a really tricky spot on the turn in an inflated pot with a marginal hand. Thus your flop raising range should be more weighted to bluffs and value hands.

When I say bluffs I mean semi-bluffs which might not be the best hand on the flop but can improve to the best hand by the river e,g a FD. Raising with pure air like 45o would be pretty bad imo also.

As you move uip and play versus playters with better hand reading skills there may be more of a requirement to merge ranges but I seriously doubt that you will need to worry about this up to 1kNL.

I tthink this makes sense but for more (better) explanations on it read:
