Bigspenda's Micro Stakes Poker Video 3

As he explains late in the video, he is a golf instructor that understands how to teach. That makes this series very informative in a meaningful way; with clear and concise insight into the thought processes that go into playing a hand. Many poker training vids show the same concepts but are made less useful by an inability to elucidate them with clarity.

The video was very instructive, and the "teacher" had a good mix of advice, predictions, comments on others' play, and more. Definitely worth a watch.

Have to say that this was a great video for me for a number of reasons. I'm still extremely shaky with the mathematics of poker so having you go over Equity was extremely helpful. You've also shown me that I need to constantly think about the *why* of my moves - The folding straight/flush draws with a Jx early in the video was especially an eye opener. Thanks for the comments about 6-max, it looks like a game I may be interested. A.

This was another great video in this series. It was really helpful to see full ring and 6 max played at the same time to see the difference in hand selection and post flop play. Also there were some really interesting hands played which helped make for a very informative video. Thanks!

I am a weak tight player so this was very helpful for me. I have been playing micro limits way too long so need to start copying your play. You made a lot of interesting points. Sorry to hear you will be going to another site to do more videos, these micro tips that you have done are very informative.

Spenda shows his +ev style in the lower stakes very well in the video. He goes over plenty of aspects during each hand and demonstrates thoughts and tools that most microstakes players don't think to use such as PokerStove to back up decisions. Definitely check this one out as it goes over full ring and 6-max. Thanks, spenda!

I have to admit, when the J8s hand came up I was thinking to myself "WTF is he doing?" That would typically be an insta-fold for me. For some reason, I'm only thinking about EV and odds in smaller pots. When you brought up Poker Stove and showed me the equity, then recounted the pot odds, I realized that I could be passing up huge edges. That really opened my eyes. Excellent video overall. My only critique would be that you sometimes begin to make an interesting point, but then get distracted by a hand. At the conclusion of such hands you should try to regain your train of thought.
