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

very cool video guys.I'm looking forward to some live poker next week around the holiday. This series is perfect timing imo. Does mike L always play with 10x as many chips as everyone else? lol.

I'm excited for this.

Hand 1 - I like the flop 3 bet for the reasons you guys mentioned, also we can 3bet flop, bet turn, and check river for showing down less than the call/call/call line.

Hand 2- What do you think about c/r any board pair?

On which street?

Yes... and his Ipod where hes watching Disney movies instead of getting reads on his opponents ;-P Haha sorry to call you out Mike seeing as how we've only met once... Ill say hi next time I see you at the Merce

Fwiw not that he needs much defending but Mike has a really sick ability to recall specific things about people that he has played with in the past. I'll ask him about a guy and he'll be like "oh yeah that guy is crazy I remember this 15/30 hand we played 6 years ago..." and then recount a HH to me.

^^ thats sick... and I was lawl kidding, I do the exact same thing and his general strategy probably owns my paying attention super hard strategy.

Fantastic video. 48 minutes flew. This is going to be another great season for LHE.

On the last hand, seat two must have been lying when he said QJ. People who muck never say the truth about their hand imo. He looks like a set of sevens very much, or a set of deuces.

The river.

I thought they were talking about the guy who folded the turn.

I don't love a check on the turn here. How much do you guys hate just betting? I think it can be somewhat player dependent, but I really don't want to give a free card to two players when I can charge them and I'm more than happy to bet/3b a reasonably aggressive player in that game, especially if it goes bet/raise/cold call. We end up 3banging anyway, why not make sure that something goes in?

As i type this, I'm thinking that betting would be best against the extreme player types (super passive or super agro) and c/r would only work against guys that will put in cheap little semi bluffs or value bets in the form of a bet when checked to, but aren't really willing to raise for value aggressively (probably most of the commerce 40 players). Still not convinced it's best though.

No, Mike specifically says seat 2.

Yeah the player type you describe in your last part of your post is just sooooo common in these games. I think I would bet this more often in both smaller and bigger games.

Why do you think it's relevant that he dark bets here? I think most people bet any flop after this preflop action, so I assume you think it informs the strength of his hand? If my assumption is correct, do you think it denotes strength or weakness or something else?

Related to this, what are your guys' thoughts on dark bets in general and what they denote? I've always felt like (from live regs) it means more strength than normal, but I have a small live sample. When it's vs other online guys I know then we do it usually just messing around or because we know that we always cbet anyway.
