Hi guys,

So i got Camtasia and have made a video playing 2 tables of LHE6max 1/2 for u to check out.
Not a teaching video, more of a way to get your feedback on the hands i play and the comments i make. I am the learner, u guys are the specialists.

So, here it goes:

Interesting video, but it's probably better to just post some hands...

1) 96s in the BB. Once the SB 3bets the flop, we are in big trouble here with our MPNK and should not put any more money in the pot unless we improve.

2) Wasn't crazy about the c/r on the flop with KQ and a gutshot vs. a player who 3bet you preflop. He is never folding here so you can only win if you improve. You can also hit a K or Q and still lose to AK, AQ, AA, KK, QQ, etc. I c/c the flop and c/f the turn UI.

3) AK on btn. You can't protect your hand by raising the flop here since everyone else has already put in a bet. I prefer to raise the turn - in this case it would cost you one small bet (since SB has AA) but more often than not it will make you a profit.

4) 3betting an UTG raiser with AJ is very marginal. So much of his range has us dominated here it is better to just call and see a flop

5) Raising multiple limpers with hands like KQ, KJ in the blinds is counterproductive because you need to hit the board to win. Better to just call and then bet or c/r flops you like.

6) K4, Q7, 74 can all be folded in the SB.

Thanks for the comments!

1. totally right

2. right again

3. unfortunately I ran into AA, I was (also?) raising flop for value, my hand is robust and not very vulnerable? (only the 2spades out there are a threat).
I agree w you that protecting on the turn may be better. Here i guess i wasn't sure and thought i was ahead? Looking back, i guess i was caught in between going for protection or value, and not knowing exactly what to do

4. That was a bit read based after a few hands w the lag on my left and also informational ( i was ready to fold on turn except i hit the J) Good point in general though.

5. Now this one, i don't really agree. Seeing how the table was running with weak passive players, i figure to have the best hand, so i get value. I can also thin the field (sb completed but may fold to raise). Generally i felt i had an edge against those weak players, so in this particular case i think it's profitable to raise. In tougher tables, i agree w you.

6. Again, i only completed in that one table of weak passives, not in the other more aggressive table. Getting good odds, 5 or 6 to 1, in a table w poor players. I don't do this all the time.

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and post your comments! Much appreciated!

3) Obv. you don't know he has AA. All you know is he 3bet pf and so he's going to bet the flop almost every time. Your TPTK is huge here and since there's no chance of protecting your hand on the flop the best thing to do is to raise the turn for value. If someone does have a FD then you also charge them the max.

4) Let other people pay for your information. You have a good hand but not worth 3betting an UTG raiser unless you have seen him raise light before. So far all he's done is 3 bet you with AQ that you know, which is perfectly legit.

5) You may have the best hand preflop, but that doesn't count if you miss the board OOP. Better to get a cheap look at the flop with big unsuited cards mutliway and see how you like your hand then. E.g., in the KJ hand you ended up throwing money away because you were committed to betting the flop with air and felt compelled to do the same on the turn.

In tougher tables people don't limp!

6) You're still essentially drawing to 3 outs that may or may not be good, or hoping to hit a very lucky hand like two pair or a one-card straight. The odds just aren't there no matter how bad your opponents are.

asd,

i will look at the vid pretty soon. however, this will be the first "normal" vid i pulled off of megaupload... all the others were of a different variety.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
