Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by Deepsquat (Mid Stakes)

Just wanted to say I like your videos and reasoning/thought processes a lot. Especially liked the parts about coldcalling.

TYTY for the nice feedback, very much appreciated

Table 1 (Top Left): I think I understand the merits to not 3-betting out of the big blind vs a small blind open, but I don't understand why we're employing this strategy against a bad maniac style opponent. Seems like these are the type of opponents where we're sacrificing too much preflop by not 3-betting.

Table 3 (Bottom Left): Not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of checking my entire range on this 4 flush turn. I really hate the idea of giving free cards to hands like AJ no club. I guess if we think we can induce bluffs from all his no pair/no flush hands checking becomes a lot better, but I'm not really sure that is always the case.

Hey mate, sorry didnt see all these posts until BBB told me!

Yeah, vs a maniac we should 3bet if we think he will cap pf or go nuts vs a 3b.

If hes not going to cap light and will cbet every flop then we dont really lose much, and in fact may benefit if he is an awful hand reader.

Its a good point, and if we dont know the answer, we should just 3b. I dont think it makes a massive difference vs bad players unless they are likley to spew like u said

Yep, in hindsight i agree.

I think we should bet all our good hands, i mean not betting NF is bad. I think we should have some weak clubs in our range to c/c with. Im going to have a think about how best to construct a betting range on this turn and get back to u
