Nice video Sauce!

Question to Sauce/others:

In some of the riverspots where u have checked behind on previous-streets and tries to extract value, u bet like 3/4-pot, they often fold (for example u 3-bet with KQ0, 1 caller IP, flop AK4, turn A, river 6? U bet, he folds). I often find myself betting like <1/2-pot and think i am getting called very light, what are your experience with this betsize in these spots, does it get way to transparent on higher levels?

awesome! cant wait to watch it.

I like many of the concepts you are actively using in your play, you are clearly thinking about optimal bet sizing against your opponents ranges, something I feel many tags don't implement in their games nearly enough.

For those of you that have viewed this video with no trouble:
Is the video and audio in sync for you, all the way to the end?

Nice video, solid play. Not been in many difficult spots, but not unnecessarily coming into them is a skill as well.
I like your not c-betting examples.

If you will be making another one I would love to see some more postflop agression, i.e. double barreling, betting on scare cards, turn semi bluffs etc. Don't know how often you get in those spots tho.

Xanti the audio and video were in sync all the way

is there any way when you maximize the vid to full screen to still be able to do stuff on my other monitor? its maxed in one but when i click anywhere on the other monitor it minimizes again. ???

Only halfway through, and I love it. Normally I doze off when watching a poker vid and turn it off after 5 minutes tops so good job Smile

i reigned in my impulses to rip on ppl during the video. impressed it came out so semi-serious.

Great vid sauce, much appreciated.

Your analysis of doubling the Q63cc flop was great.

For future vids, I"m sure we could all use some more analysis of doubling and tripling. Seems to me that that's one of the last things we learn that bumps are abilities from small to mid stakes.

you sound sexy

Really great stuff, Ben, nice job.

Pwnage

Video and audio were nicely in synch fro me Xianti - fantastic video for the 1st half until it cut out.

just finished watching the video. great stuff sauce. hopefully you make a few more of these in the future.

Good vid. Ive a got a couple questions though.

First, you mentioned that you shoiuld not be c-betting in a lot of your 3-bet pots. Why is this, and which board textures are you more likely to c-bet and with which types of hands (ie. overpairs, whiffed AK, ace high flops with AK, ect.)

Second, I noticed that many times when the small blind open limps into your big blind, you are normally raising 6x rather than a standard 3.5 or 4x. Could you explain this further as well.

Thanks for making the vid and Im looking forward to the next ones. Hopefully you can get into some more three bet situations, post flop.

It seemed like his bet sizes were automated. Is there a program that does this, if so what is it called and where can I get it?

Heya sauce, loved the video. I found the ideas regarding cbetting very interesting. I really have a hard time with that when I'm playing a 21/17 type game. Basically I cbet HU 95%+ of the time and I have a hard time convincing myself not to. I'd love to have some more in depth explanation on the subject.

the best thing about sauce's video i found was when he gets money in hard with like mid aces or anything ahead of the limpers range. I used to just check in the BB with like A8 or something with a bunch of limpers in the pot (Thinking "GG POT CONTROL" )and never really thought about the fact that i crush their range and I'm missing so much value by not juicing the pot right there and either making them fold or making a +EV cbet on a flop that misses their range. it's amazing how effective this is and i cant believe I've been missing so much value all this time...

Also the 8X bet HU with a completing SB, seems like it can force them into making a terrible -EV call on the basis from their point of view that they're heads up, followed by an easy cbet.

great stuff

i dont really know about AHK scripts either, i just fooled around with the chip reloader one until i got it working.

I'm assuming the vid is supposed to just end abruptly?
Took a long time to be able to download and watch this video, but maybe thats just my connection...
I would really like to see an option to just download the video instead of watching it in flash. As soon as the video ended it wants to download the entire vid all over again to watch any part of it!!!!

Otherwise, Sauce put up some more vids!!!

I'm not all that good myself but this is what I did.

Simple guide for the script:
1) Download the script from www.overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/BetPot
2) Download Autohotkey from www.autohotkey.com
3) Unzip and you should have 2 .ahk files, the main Betpot and a second smaller named betpot_default_hotkeys.
4) Open the second betpot_default_hotkeys in ex notepad. Here you will find what the keys do, I use the right mouse button so that would be this line:

~RButton::
Pot(getid(),"1 1 1 1", "smallblind", "ssnl", 0)
return

The 1's are the fraction of the pot you would like to bet, the first if preflop, second flop, third turn and last we have the river. So here we bet the pot as default everytime.

All you hafto do is change these numbers to fit your style. Preflop is set to 4bb raise, so if you use 3.5bb you enter (3.5/4) = 0.875 instead of the first 1. Example:

~RButton::
Pot(getid(),"0.875 0.8 0.66 0.66", "smallblind", "ssnl", 0)
return

Here we bet as default: 3.5bb pre, 4/5pot on flop, 2/3pot on turn and river.

5) Save and load the betpot script.
6) Try it.

Hope that helps.

MORE VIDEOS!

MORE VIDEOS!!!

yay it's finally up

Sauce PLEASE post more videos.

I've watched about 5 CR videos and I've learned more in this video than all the others combined. Learned a lot about 3betting in those videos, plus how you play the isolation w/ a limper.

I'm surprised you haven't posted in this thread. I'd ask some questions if you are active in it Smile

For some reason I understand your posts/video more than similar info presented by others. You explain the why in a memorable, understandable way. I think a lot of great players skip a lot of basic stuff that they take for granted -- kinda like a smart math teacher.

Thank you!!

hah glad i helped

very nice vid, gj Smile

High stakes HU vid plz lol.

hah... tell xianti and tyson to pay me and i will!!

I would love to see how you would use your stratagy on a full table. I have incorporated some aspects into my live game, though the raising range of most of the people at the table is very tight, so you must be careful who you 3-bet.

Nice vid sauce. Id like to see u play some 3 handed or less and see how some of your strategy changes.
Thanks..

Sauce, have u seen CTS's vid when he plays you HU?

Great Vid. Please make another one.
btw, is there a counter on these for how many views?

Is there anyway to save this vid (or any vid for that matter) to my hard drive? Mine don't play well from home when I stream. Chitty connection.

imo the vid stream is very poor. doesnt do sauce justice

if you listen real close you can hear me ripping to binger in the background

Great video lots of nice tips and theory packed in. Post some more videos and lets see some tough spots. =)
