Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by Joe Tall (High Stakes)

I love this series.
Also your table mod is very sweet.

Wow,

limit is such an insane game.

(btw. "I has a pair" literally translated means "Ich hat ein Paar" in german, while "Pear" is "Birne" obv)

The following is a serious question: Why do ppl actually bluff in LHE when everyone and their moms go to showdown with "bottom pear" (Unterbirne ldo)?

I mean I can understand betting the hand I linked just because of the HUGE amounts of equity we have, but from watching limit videos I get the feeling that there is nothing more insane than betting a whiffed draw on the river.

Sure, the pot is so huge more often than not, that the bluff doesn't have to work all that often, but that also means that we're getting called with "trash". That is trash from a NLHE player's POV.

Hmmm... somehow it didn't link the hand. I'm talking about the 54hh at 35 minutes

It linked the hand you were talking about.

Basically in spots like that you're targeting the middle and bottom of their range -- it's true that people won't fold pairs or even Ace high, but people will fold QJ and T9s which they'll peel the flop with. Since turn ranges are wider because people peel the flop lightly and call preflop lightly, you have 15 outs very frequently but most importantly you still have a big chance of earning a lot of folds.

Glad you said this was a misclick.

Good payoff -- was really expecting to see him be full a lot more than full of shit, but there's no way I can fold there. Definitely worth taking a note that he 3-bet your UTG raise w/JTo then pulled a delayed river raise, maybe trying to take you off KTcc, KJcc?

That hand was absolutely sick. From a mis-click to a epic win!

I don't see the time link here. this is about the 4 minute mark

I think 3 betting this flop is superior to calling. I think we are ahead here quite often. The pot is getting big and I would love to get the button to fold overcards and be heads up and in position against the SB. I also think we can get the button off a ton of one card or even two card gutshot draws which he should have in his range. If he chooses to call it is value.

The Sb shouldn't have too many sixes or sevens in his range. I could see a hand like A5 or 65 both of which you still have a good edge over. He could have a 4 or a one card draw. He probably would have reraised 44,66,77 preflop although I certainly don't have any reads on SB.

Is there a reason that you would prefer calling the flop here?

I think 3-betting is ok, but it's hard to say because housemom really shouldn't have much in his range there given preflop. If he can have A5 often, he should be able to have 44/66 as well because he's more likely to be passive and too-cally preflop. You definitely want to fold out a hand like KQ when you have the best hand, but when you have the worst hand (up against 87, 76, 64s, or a set), you don't mind stringing him along because his equity gets chopped up between you and the SB.

The more likely SB is to have 98s or T9s, etc., the more apt you should be for jamming, but his coldcall makes it a little harder to narrowly define his range.

If you decided to 3-bet in this spot most of the time I think it's fine, but you should definitely not be 1000% convinced your hand is the nuts here.

Fnupple talks funny good vid too.

I have a problem with the mp4 version. One of the colour layers seems shifted in both VLC and WMP. The wmv looks perfect. Has anyone else this problem?

Sounds like a codec issue on your computer, wish I could provide more but that's pretty hard to diagnose.
