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

Less commentary, more action. This is supposed to be a live play video, at least don't pause all the time.

(I don't play limit, though, and watch this series more for entertainment.)

Hi Rob. This is 5:33 in.

You mention that you would probably 3b here with ATs but not AJo. AJo has better equity here. Is your reasoning that the ATs has more playability and since both AJ and ATs suffer from potential domination it is better to proceed with ATs. Also, it is not terrible if players behind you come along with ATs but it is with AJo.

Are you more likely to 3b on the button with AJo? Or do you play the same ranges?

Thanks.

Since this was allstart's first video, we decided to do video review to help with the flow of the vid overall. Hopefully the content still turns out good for those of you who are looking for some interesting discussion on HSLHE hands -- let us know for sure either way as we're definitely looking for commentary on this one from you limidonks.

I fold A2o preflop in this spot nearly always. Agree that if I saw flop I'd peel for one sb.

Hi DD,

I saw in one of your videos a while back where you called in BB in a MW pot with K7o. What makes this hand a call and the A2o a fold? What kicker do you need to call here?

I do recall the K7o being a bigger pot. I am sure in that video you were playing against less competent players as well.

Also, while I have your attention, what do you think of the 6d3d call in BB against the UTG Limp and who I think was described as a TAG? This was about the 18 min mark.

Thanks.

What's your cutoff for offsuit Ax getting 7.5:1?

I am only 18 minutes into the video but I will say per usual the commentary is fantastic. Keep it up.

Thanks

Wow I would hate capping pre here with 76s against any players. I just don't think there is a need for deception when you will be OOP and putting in many bets preflop with a weak hand. It's deceptive enough to cap QJs here.

EDIT: Hmm it looks like it didn't post the link but I'm talking about the hand at 0:08:05


I think here it might be little optimistic to think that there is a greater chance of 3 bets going in on the river if you c/r than b/3b, I mean just on the off chance that he does have 97dd its going to stink if we see it get checked through

And the times he does have a T I just don't see him ever getting c/r'ed and then putting in a third bet, whereas if you do lead the river I think he might be more likely just to try and get that extra bet and of course he never folds for the last bet

Regarding Alstarts hypothetical question if he had an overpair without a spade on an all spade flop. Rob argues calling and donking a safe turn since a third player is in.

If it was just heads up on the flop and your were raised do you think it would be bette to go ahead and 3b? I say this for value and also the possibility that the villian will check behind the turn sometimes.

I just think bad players coldcall with Ax way more than Kx, so A2o is most likely to be dominated.

What's your cutoff for offsuit Ax getting 7.5:1?

A8o I guess.

Overall felt this video was great and had way less comments than some previous ones I've watched, Rob always makes good observations and I thought allstarrt played really solid for the most part. Shows that with some good game selection solid TAG play will get the money.

This is about 35:25

You mention that just because the hero caps this preflop it doesn't mean that he has to barrell post flop. Did you mean sometimes not C-betting on certain board textures?

I have been experimenting with checking behind some flops against overly aggressive opponents with showdownable hands. I saw something similar to this on one of the videos and am curious to what you think.

Examp: I open on button with Ad8c and the BB calls. The flop comes 6d5d9c. I suspect the villian will be CR this flop over 50% of the time.

Since I have a decent hand but not so strong to where I want to get CR on this flop type would it make sense to check. By checking I can induce bluffs, stay out of paying a higher price in a situation that will quite often force me to showdown since the pot is bigger, and sometimes get away from a bad river? I would always call the turn or raise if I improved but could let go of the hand sometimes on bad rivers.

This would also allow me to sometimes slowplay hands on ugly flops and be somewhat balanced the few times I check behind.
