Ok guys i finally made a video and would like some critiques. Its not too long and also if you want to skip to the hands i want feedback on the youtube discription has links.

Please comment HERE for critiques, but if you comment in the video thats ok as well. THANKS!

Also 2nl until bankroll is at least 25 or 30buyins .... buyin for max.

1st off, Carbon doesnt have 2nl sadly
2nd, i cant afford to buy in the max yet

and thanks for watching

Anything you want to say about my play?

I think if you can take away those beeping alarms... Nothing worse than a tough decision to have the other table go off like it's the 4th of July.... It would be like myself calling a big river bet with 2nd nuts and the wife yelling at me lol.

Hmmm Videos alright just don't defend yourself and remember we are watching it to give productive criticism

It's hard we all got poker egos and it's great you admit ur a losing poker, I felt like I was a winning player but of late I've turned it downside but ive had the discipline to change games to match my BR...

Atm I'm doing sit n go's which I'm awesome at I have a decent win rate with it and I've rebuilt, perhaps you should hit the cheap sit n go's and build until you can max your buyins.

Ok ill mute them next time thanks for the input. and I just deposited 100$ adnd im playing full buy in now, still losing badly but my shoves and calls i was ahead each time. Varience is a bitch

My thoughts on the video:

1. As you start the video, have the tables open already. It takes much time for you to set up everything after you started recording.

2. Those sounds are too loud. Turn them off or make it queiter.

3. Please in the future make videos so the people can watch in 720p.

Good luck

thanks for the info again ill do that next time

If your losing shoving... Look at those hands and ask yourself why? ... Sometimes in defense of ourselves we say oh varience but infact we are playing bad.

ummm..... no lol pre flop crushing the other guys hand and them sucking out is def. varience

Post some hands.

Also AK isn't that great with multi shoves. And it's a slight under dog against most PP... Anyways post hands lets see some.

sort you HUD out , it takes up too much room , obliterates the guy top right. use abbreviations if you can't remember what stats are. HEM1 support end at the end of this month so changes in hand history ioutput will break your hud. 4.20 you say about HUD gets in the way ......more reason to sort your hud out. It was first thing i thought playing the vid.


88 - meh with your bankroll probably safer to flat pre - and go crazy when you hit the flop and fold when over cards come. normal bankroll i'd raise pre 1/2 pot on flop cbet and look to pot control if straight misses on turn , stack off on straight on river fold to big bet on fiver if overcard comes and call up to 1/2 pot with undercard.

A7 - borderline raise even if short stacked. you're gonna hate pretty much every flop if called.

QT sb - terrible call out of position multiway and likely to be dominated when you hit. thats just spew. You didn't lose the minimum....folding pre like you should have done would have lost the minimum.you just got sucked into spewing more money with a marginal hand but with a big draw.

99 - .20 is better raise size - cbet 1/2 pot . at these stakes Ax is big part of limp calling raise pre and is never folding when Ace hits flop. Ifthey continue just check fold and you lose least....you are inflating your losses and minimising your wins betting that much on flop.Around that time you hadn't even noticed that the guy on the right was even in the hand because he was obscured by HUD.

AK ands KQ - who the hell do you think is going to call those massive raises pre. you say you want to play the hand, you have to make it so that they want to play the hand as well . You have just said i've got a big hand wanna take me on .....they look at their cards and think ...nah.....or they look down at AA and say bring it on ...and you lose a huge pot. you are isolating yourself against hands that have you beat. also says when you make normal raises that you have a weaker hand since you aren't doing the huge preflop raises. KQ you totally ignore what cards he has to call your huge bet in the first place. again AK AQ KK QQ AA are going to be a big part f his range. half pot does the same jb and if he calls that you are crushed and should give up .....you have air and your bluff failed.....again potentially huge spew hand.

KhQh now you're raising .28 with KQ and ignoring the argument you just made for the bet sizing with the previous KQ......implying that you don't necessarily believe that argument yourself.cbet was too big but you trapped yourself into that by your sizing preflop which again was too large.You're just building spew on top of spew. Micros players main leak is calling too much.......make them call too much with your big hands not your speculative hands that need help to win.

KJs meh open .....very easy fold to 3bet ..... and now you are criticising him for his ridiculously big 3bet size........pot calling kettle black springs to mind. he has a monster and failed to get value for it with jhis bet sizing just like you.

K2 btn steal - why check the flop ...half pot cbet takes it down or give up if called/raised.

A3s - why flat his 4bet? you called .40 and he only has 1.10 left behind . calling the 4bet to fold is complete spew. its either shove or fold and you don't have the bankroll to shove. far better to have left the table than playing HU with no bankroll behind you. far better to flat his min raise pre than getting into a 3 or 4bet war with a guy you don't know. this is just complete spew. when he snap shoved what did you expect him to do? you shoul have seen that coming when he bet .40 pre , and worked out pot size if you called and compare it to stacks remaining. then it becomes obvious that calling the .4 means commiting your stack and you should be asking whether you want to put your stack in with that hand.


67o - not a raise vs agro guy. why call his raise?? . why not leave the table?

QQ - 4 bet was a bit small otherwise good reason to just take his money and run. you aren't rolled to play HU especially against an aggro guy.

Nice video

As other people have said, turn all poker and PC sounds off, and the resolution needs to be better.

Also too much background noise, turn the TV off and send the family out for a couple of hours

I love you Keith <3 haha I knew it was coming.

Good input there take it onboard

AK ands KQ would you bet the same as AA though? If not to scare people away and if so how much keith?

Thanks for this!

I fixed this. was having computer issuse

Ok flat pre here I can see were you are coming from. I raise to build a pot and was in the SB so i felt i needed to be agro. I will start betting 1/2 pot instead of more from now on when i CB
A7 - borderline raise even if short stacked. you're gonna hate pretty much every flop if called.
Agreed

QT sb - terrible call out of position multiway and likely to be dominated when you hit. thats just spew. You didn't lose the minimum....folding pre like you should have done would have lost the minimum.you just got sucked into spewing more money with a marginal hand but with a big draw.
Its funny you say this because I was going to fold honestly. But I thought about pot odds and it was 7c more to win 39c I felt priced in. But my 1st instinct was to fold.

99 - .20 is better raise size - cbet 1/2 pot . at these stakes Ax is big part of limp calling raise pre and is never folding when Ace hits flop. Ifthey continue just check fold and you lose least....you are inflating your losses and minimising your wins betting that much on flop.Around that time you hadn't even noticed that the guy on the right was even in the hand because he was obscured by HUD.
I see your point and it has been duly noted

AK ands KQ - who the hell do you think is going to call those massive raises pre. you say you want to play the hand, you have to make it so that they want to play the hand as well . You have just said i've got a big hand wanna take me on .....they look at their cards and think ...nah.....or they look down at AA and say bring it on ...and you lose a huge pot. you are isolating yourself against hands that have you beat. also says when you make normal raises that you have a weaker hand since you aren't doing the huge preflop raises.

Micro stakes man lol its changes a way a person thinks and after reading what you said I could not agree more with you. This is why im making vids.

KhQh now you're raising .28 with KQ and ignoring the argument you just made for the bet sizing with the previous KQ......implying that you don't necessarily believe that argument yourself.cbet was too big but you trapped yourself into that by your sizing preflop which again was too large.You're just building spew on top of spew. Micros players main leak is calling too much.......make them call too much with your big hands not your speculative hands that need help to win.
Meh but you are again correct... I dont like posting vids anymore lol

KJs meh open .....very easy fold to 3bet ..... and now you are criticising him for his ridiculously big 3bet size........pot calling kettle black springs to mind. he has a monster and failed to get value for it with jhis bet sizing just like you.
Understood
K2 btn steal - why check the flop ...half pot cbet takes it down or give up if called/raised.
I was a scared
A3s - why flat his 4bet? you called .40 and he only has 1.10 left behind . calling the 4bet to fold is complete spew. its either shove or fold and you don't have the bankroll to shove. far better to have left the table than playing HU with no bankroll behind you. far better to flat his min raise pre than getting into a 3 or 4bet war with a guy you don't know. this is just complete spew. when he snap shoved what did you expect him to do? you shoul have seen that coming when he bet .40 pre , and worked out pot size if you called and compare it to stacks remaining. then it becomes obvious that calling the .4 means commiting your stack and you should be asking whether you want to put your stack in with that hand.

I did this? I need to re look at my vid lol
67o - not a raise vs agro guy. why call his raise?? . why not leave the table?
Im stuborn! there i said it
QQ - 4 bet was a bit small otherwise good reason to just take his money and run. you aren't rolled to play HU especially against an aggro guy.
Ok so what size x4?

Click to expand...

Thanks, this give me tons to work on

QQ would have made it .60 instead of .5 . Not a huge difference.

AA AK AQ i'd 3bb +1bb per limper

First of all, just wanna say that i have almost the same graph as you, you can check it, i had a huge hot run at the start at first few thousand hands but then the downswing started then tilt happened and i almost went busto... Downswing or not, poker i played wasn't the safe poker to play (if can be said that way) i played a lot oop and with some marginal hands that should be mucked without second of thinking, i see you playing almost the same as i am, there is nothing hugely wrong with that you can suffer huge variance swings which can be really frustrating and in my example i tilt easier if i tilted before...

About hands you played Keith covered all so there is not much to say but ill
add my personal touch.

88 - there is nothing wrong with limping behind when there is more limpers already in the pot, you wont hit set often enough and you don't want to play big pot with just medium pair and oop, you got called and the flop hits his range pretty nice and what you wanted to achieve with c-bet, of course we do have some equity with oesd and middle pair, but what was the really purpose of the bet (first i thought that it was pot bet, just now i saw that you shove) do you want folds? do you want to get called by worse? I dont see any hand without aleast set overpair to call you there you are not in a good spot there, believe me... Im fine with the c-bet but anything above 60c would fold anything worse and you will lose value you want worse hands to call you and better hands to fold, not the other way...

QT - i will only say a line form a guy whose vids im watching right now... OOP and it just doesnt hit often enough, one more spot to avoid....

99 - there is no need to bet there pre, you are building a pot you dont want to be big with medium pair, see a flop if you hit set you can easily stack them without set all you have is medium pair in already big pot which minimizing your fold equity, again im OK with c-bet on that scary board but you are doing the same thing again, folding weaker hands with big bet and you only get called with Ax two spades or a big spade, believe me im doing the same thing and that is biggest critique im getting on my hands...

AK, KQo, KQh - Honestly i dodnt understand the logic behing playing AK and KQo from SB and limpers... You saw the KQh hand, while you are OOP specially SB you dont want to make big pot without made hand, you saying that you are showing aggression but you again saying that these people call ridiculous hands, and i agree with you people at our limits call a lot of things (JJ limper, KJo caller in a same hand) these people doesnt look at you and say hmmmm... aggression, im gonna fold... they look at their holding and say hmmm... 53o, im gonna fold, or hmmm Ax yay im gonna call... and you get yourself to the turn with one good bet left because pot is big comparing to your stack and what to do, give up or push all you have on a draw OOP you want to play as smallest pot as you can and see as many cards as you can until you hit nuts, then you can go crazy, if they have anything remotely descent they will call, if they have air they will fold anyway

KJc - 24 hands on a guy is not as nearly enough on a guy to get any conclusion he could easily have 0/0 stats, that doesn't mean that he is a nit he just didint got any good hand, that specially apply to 3 bet stats not even 100 hands isn't enough for that stat

Why you stayed at the table with only one player playing with you.. I would be away even with 4 players... Thou the guy on your left really annoyed me, when you went aipf i was literally line hell yea!!!!!!! when he called you with jacks!!!!!!!


Overall, it was a nice vid to watch, i can relate with some tough spots that you got yourself into because i often get there too... looking forward to see more...

GL at the tables!!!!!

Thanks for the comments bro. we should try working on our game together

My 2nd Poker Vid

Ok so im not sure how to start a poker session series so im going to just keep remaking Posts with a new vid each time.

IF anyone can help me find a better method of posting please let me know

Here is my 2nd vid and the comments has all the spots I want reviewed but if you watch the entire vid I REALLY appreciate it.

ITs a lot longer this time so I made sure to do my best to find all the hands I think everyone in the forums would have fun commenting on. Enjoy!

You are playing two games at one time, and they are different games?
I have trouble playing two tables of same games. Interesting. Best wishes
in your games.

No just playing 6max again .02/.04c

Okay. Best wishes, always.

10 8 suited.

Always represent the flush on the turn, he didn't play the draw aggressive so chances are he's not after it and u can steal it there if the 4th comes out bet again and give up after that. Your headsup he either has it or not and it's very hard for him to call after 4 hearts on the board. And 4th heart on the board he'll let go of small hearts now as well if u bet enough.


7 2 OOP

Don't get too fancy OOP i think we can get a lil more fancy in position.


K 9 suited.

2345 board.

Your scared of the A but he maybe as well... Remember you represented strength and A is in your range, you cbet no matter what headsup cuz he'll miss the flop 60% of the time. Double barrell the 5 it's so hard for someone chasing and you'll fold a lot of pocket pairs in his calling range. Give up river
But the main thing is your in position and you have information he's weak so your holdings mean Jack... So bet him and get him to fold. He could've just bet with nothing cuz your so passive in that hand and he wanted the pot more than u.


Pocket 9's

Preflop good,cbet good. Double barrell because now we are protecting our pocket 9's against our draws and it's most likely we still have the best hand. Perhaps he could have a weak Q though but we should beat everything else in his range except slow playing the straight unlikely. Alright the K comes out we should bet again not because we are scared of it but it's in our perceived range, Our opponent could be calling us down thinking we were AK, on the flop he's infront so he calls etc/turn... Well K comes out we can bet it and get better hands off their hand such as weak queens.

Only made it 9mins through ur vid so far i'll watch it later but right now about to start a session.... I'll watch the rest after and btw im watching without audio so i can judge the hand for myself without being poisoned into ur thinking i'll rewatch it with audio after.

Thank you very much The HU vs thay guy was purely to wait until the table filled up. there were not really any table running so i had to start a new one lol

My HU game is not so strong but i managed to do ok

A2 suited.

These hands look pretty but you won't get value unless in a multi way pot, it's best to play in position with these and not headsup since you need implied odds and your not always going to get paid off. So general rule you can muck these in Late/Medium position, Sometimes i limp with them and hope to trap fishies with suited cards of sametime but it doesn't seem to happen much at all so no point. Also if you cbet too much eventually ppl will keep calling you down and you'll burn money against those pocket pairers. A good percentage of cbetting is roughly between 60-70 anything more and you'll lose respect.

KJoff

UTG raise hmmm normally i'd fold this, Daniel Negraneu said on a highstakes poker episode and i tend to agree he calls it the rookie hand, looks great but its a troublesome hand most likely dominated and most flops you'll get trapped and stack an opponent. Learn your troublesome hands like ur AQ,KQ,KJ hands theres a few more you really need to learn how to play if you want to be a winning player because they'll cost you more money in the end cuz you'll overplay them, noob mistakes.

67s

Notice your in the SB... First of all worst possible position and multi pot, I think leading out with top pair bad kicker is just spewing money. This is why a lot of people raise 2xBB in late position to put fishies in the blinds with marginal hands/tough spots. It's a simple fold on the turn, we should never really chase open enders it's a nice way to loose bankroll. You only have 8 outs and thats not including the fact he could be after a bigger straight as well or has a made hand and also theres flush draws out there as well. I read up if your going to gamble at least as a guideline have 14+ outs on the flop but on the turn your chances diminish a lot thats why you see a lot of ppl shove allin with their 2pair or top pair kicker hoping flush draw/straight draws call.

78off

Just fold pre seriously at least have it suited. And if you want to play a hand like this with limpers, raise it... Since they look quite weak and hope to steal the pot pre.

Q6off..

Yes you folded it correct decision hitting 2 pair with these is just utter dangerous seem great but meh it'll land you in a lot of trouble remember i dont have audio on but u were waving ur mouse around it, don't feel too upset bout missing a good looking flop cuz usually smells danger anyways.

QToff

Fold in the muck unless your opening from LP Ur just going to burn money and really what flops are we going to like and often dominated. Even Boards like Q97 will give us a headache. also 2pairs often ppl will have openenders cuz hands like KJ

Anyways bout 19min mark now.. watch the rest 2morrow.
