Just quickly on starting to watch this, I gotta say I like the you think/talk about the game. Like with regard to your HUD, saying that you only think VPIP, PFR and hands is necessary considering how little you'll play with certain people, Tyat's absolutely bang on. Only half way through and had little thoughts with regards to individual hands, but will post whatever I think when I've finished watching :)

1min in JQs - i like the raise, i like the flop bet..but on the turn id like to see a bigger bet...somewhere around 45 cent to full pot...you want to make any drawing hand pay to see...either way he folded

next AQ - first off the dude played QQ like a fool...once you hit your ace i think you MUST be value betting here..i think he calls for sure just to see

11 min in 77 - love the call preflop..and than as with any small to medium pp its hit or miss..you missed the flop and you folded..GREAT job

i do like how you play ABC poker..thats great...being a NIT is very good if thats what suits you...personally though...i think after you got 77 you were dealt A2s UTG..again IMO i am raising here only because there is a chance you get the nut flush.. little later your dealt J8s and you decide to raise lol..so why not raise with the nut flush

later on you get 88 - on the flop i like the bet...i wouldn mind seeing a check raise but i like the bet as well..now..you get re raised once you hit your set...here is where you make your money...i dont like the flat call at all...i like to see you re raise him here to 1.25 - 2...and than on the turn instead of the min 45cent bet id like to see a big pot sized bet....as played i dont like the check on the turn either..imo you got lucky that he bluff bet cuz i think he missed his draw on the river...your missing out on a ton of value by not value betting this river...HOWEVER its apparent that he missed his draw since he folded to your raise so as played it ended up working well...but in the long run you should be jamming on the flop or turn...you want all your money in BEFORE the river if you can..cuz once they miss their draw they shut down

next hand 77 - you hit your set AGAIN..since he checked i LOVE slowplaying here...like you said let him catch up...you have position...let him do the betting...if he doesn bet he obviously doesn have anything so you betting only induces a fold...now on the turn if he checks i def see you betting a little just to see if he hit any sort of draw...i think slowplaying here is great with position.

last hand AJs - the raise is good preflop...on the flop you hit TP decent (above average) kicker...id like to see a bigger bet than just 20cents here..id say 35 - 40...as played..you get raised...i think a re raise is iffy...so i like the call...i dont like the check check on the turn..he checked which shows weekness...id make a pot sized bet here maybe 3/4 pot. on the river again i dont like the check check..he checks...for the 2nd time showing extreme weakness...im value betting huge here...since he has the A hes calling anything but a shove i would assume.

overall great video and great play man im just giving you my 2 cents

really great video though man...you played really well overall...your ABC poker will continue to work for you...best of luck..keep the vids comin as i like watchin others

Thanks had to rewatch the video and kinda reread ur post so that it makes sense.

the QJs that actually makes sense to make a bigger bet on the turn will definately bet more if in a similar situation

Yeah the AQo hand i knew i played bad but i think he also played worse than i did. I kinda knew after the hand was done that
i missed that bet. I will bet next time and i think ur rite that he is going to look up most bets there especially since he
called 2 streets already so was a missed opportunity

The A2s hand i folded was a hand i could of raise but the button and sb had be callin so just though best to fold and why i
raised J8s was it was blind against blind and villian had folded a few already to raises so thats why i raised on that hand
to steal

the 88 hand. reading that it made sense when reraises i should have 3 bet him to 1.65 or so and led out on the turn wit a
2/3 pot bet so that i can stack him. in that sense i should have been looking to stack so played it wrong cuz i think playin
it the way u explained i would have been able to extract more money.

77 i knew when i bet out and got a fold should have check. in that spot i mostly have the board beat. should have checked to
let him catch up or bluff chips off

AJs i see what u mean by bigger bet on the flop since it was a flush draw on the board and a straight draw. the check on the
turn i think is a descent check and it would have complete a few draws but i see what u mean on the check on the flop i
should have bet there. that was a missed opportunity to make a lil more money.

Right side 0:56 QhJh
flop is Jc 2d 6c
you lead out for .15 in a .28 pot giving villain almost 3 to 1 to call. If he's on a draw, he's priced in to call and he does.

turn comes with a 9d, now there is two flush draws and a possible straight draw and you lead out again, this time for .25 now giving him 3.24 to 1 if he is on a draw. Again, he is priced in, this time he folds. Not sure if you always make your bets this small, too early to tell.

Left side 2:12 AsQd
flop comes, 2s Kd Jc you have a straight draw and position. villain checks, you bet half pot, too small again, you are giving almost 3 to 1. villain calls

Turn is 6s, now there is a flush draw. villain checks you bet .35 giving villain 3.74 to 1. villain calls

River comes Ah and you finally have a pair. Villain checks and you check? Should of just put a small value bet out here. You never discuss a range on villain, what do you think he had? Make the bet bigger on the turn and you probably take the hand down there, not needing to hit your A on the river to win the hand.

Hud stats.
you should have more than what you do. The basic VPIP, PFR and AF only tell you if they are tight, loose and aggressive or passive. I use three rows on my hud.

Top line
Folds to C bet pre flop%, folds to flop bet%, folds to turn bet%
middle line
steal%, 3 bet %, Flop c bet %, showdown %
bottom line
VPIP, PFR,AF, # of hands

True, you don't always see the same people, but after 50 hands or so, you have a pretty good idea of what they are doing. And the stats become a better tool the more hands you have on someone.


you need to be looking at the stats of the people that are in the blinds when you are button. What do they do, do they fold to steals? Are they calling, and you can adjust your stealing range based on that information.


Right side 11:23 77

.17 raise, and a guy calls behind, you are in BB, it's .12 for you to call. You talk about possibly laying that down. Out of position with small PP when you are getting 3.41 to 1 to call, is a call all day. It's called set mining, if you get a low board or even better a set, you are good to go. You miss, check and then fold to a c bet, standard play, nothing wrong with that.


Right side around 15 minutes in 88

you flop a set, that's a pretty safe board for your set and lead out, which is ok, you could scare him off there though. Another line would be check raising. Villain three bets you and you flat, to trap, which is fine. However, you then lead out for .45, way to small and there is now a flush draw on the board. You are giving villain 4.68 to 1 to call and he does. Then a 7 hits, kinda unlikely that 7 helped the villain in anyway and you check. You are OOP and possibly missing value doing this. You are lucky he bets out so you can shove. Lead out on the river around 1/4 to half pot, where the villain has to call and you don't miss out on value.

I'm seeing a tendency that is going to get you into trouble you are making small bets on the turn giving odds for people to draw on you with another card to come. Then you are missing value on the river by checking. Bet larger on the turn and make value bets on the river. In fact at this level you need to increase all your bet sizes. If you are going to bet, bet 3/4ths pot to full pot, the half pot raises are just making a bigger pot and giving odds for draws. Then you do increase the bet on the turn, but it's not enough and you give even better odds to draw to the river.

Right side 19:47 AdJd

you be half pot again with two other players in the hand giving just over 3 to 1 with a flush draw out there. You get reraised and call, which is fine. However, you don't really say why you call. What kind of range did you have on villain? The scare card comes on the turn. He checks, you check and a blank comes on the river. He checks and you check and take the pot down. Now, I'm not sure what you put the villain on, was he trying to push you of the hand with that reraise? Why did villain check it down the rest of the way? Again, due to villains actions, I think I value bet on the river here.


Look at your BB/100 hands. What does that stat say in HEM? By increasing your bet sizing and value betting more, I bet you can increase that by 2 to 3BB, if not more at the 5nl level.
