21:50 How about checking back the turn to induce a bluff on the river?

And one more question, do you multitable these ?

Thanks for the video posts, good watch, very interesting

21:50 How about checking back the turn to induce a bluff on the river?

And one more question, do you multitable these ?

Against a loose and/or aggressive opponent, this can work for a few reasons:

- Vs a loose player, you can still overbet jam the river and get most flushes to call.

- Vs an aggro player, you can expect to get enough value from bluffs + see him sometimes lead weaker flushes (so you lose minimal value vs flushes by checking the turn and you gain more than you lose from bluffs).

However, vs a player that you don't have that information on, I think you do lose too much value vs flushes. You see guys check low to mid flushes on the river to you and they might consider folding vs an overbet jam, so now you have to bet a more reasonable pot sized bet or less and now you don't get all in. Compared to if you bet a small amount on the turn, they aren't folding any flush, and then the stack you have left on the river is only around half pot and they're not going to fold on the river either.

So you have to weigh what your opponent would do in both situations with stronger hands such as flushes, vs what your opponent will do with weak hands (bluffs/pairs are essentially bluffs if they have no flush now too) if you check vs bet.

Multi tabling - I haven't been playing regularly this year. Historically, I two tables turbos and I played anywhere from 2-4 hyper turbos. This year, when I got back into playing, I single tabled awhile, and after ~400 games or so I started adding in two tables again.

I'd recommend just playing one table while you're learning, two if focus is a major strength of yours, and just add tables as you're more comfortable. Don't rush it, and it's also a good idea to drop down a level or two when adding tables, it's easier to get comfortable when the buyin is lower than you're used to.

I appreciate it guys.

I started playing hu all play money it gave me a greater sence of what it is was going to be like at a full tbl. Always good to see what you need to do and break it down into your game!

 

[HUSNG Ryan]

That's definitely right. Playing play money or a lower stake buyin than you plan to play can be an excellent way to get your feet wet and to get comfortable playing heads up.

Do be aware, play money and the lowest levels of most sites (say $1 to $2 level HUSNGs) have a very high % of opponents that are just seemingly clicking buttons. Play money in particular, you get a lot of guys that just randomly will go all in every hand or do some crazy stuff or bluff off. Don't be afraid to make a light call down if something doesn't seem right.

You'll gain experience over time in spotting ridiculous bluffs, but these stakes can be an excellent tool in learning how to beat very volatile players with a wider range of styles than you might find.

One big piece of advice that I learned - Just because you're more comfortable facing an opponent doesn't mean you have a larger edge. IE, that crazy guy that bets and raises you everywhere... he might be the opponent you can (or do) have the largest edge against (if you exploit it properly).

Sentin7 is coming out with a brand new hyper turbo video pack soon, focused on helping lower stakes players move up to the $60s buyin area. It's looking great so far and it will be a fairly affordable pack, I'll update everyone once that launches (we're aiming early next week).

Have a good week of grinding everyone!
