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

This is interesting that u mention this rob. Before i started raising ATC when limped to me in the bb , my bb loss rate was a few pips higher. My VPIP from the BB was around 36 and now its 41ish (btw i have also evolved a tab bit/gotten better postflop). Since i have adopted raising atc i have lowered my loss rate. Which in turn has helped my WR. Now im not positive because sample size obviously can affect all of this but i have around 35k sample of not doing it and now i have like 60k sample employing it. there are also other things to consider like type of opponents on your right. Oh and i assume u were talking about VPIP and not PFR like your post suggested.

Don't do this if it'll take you too long to filter for, but it'd be interesting to know approximately how many instances there are in each sample where you had an opportunity to raise a limp BvB.

Also, while this is certainly interesting to me it seems that your improvement as a player overall is very likely to outweigh the strategic merit of either checking or raising in this spot.

Lastly, it would be next to impossible to isolate the effect your play in this specific situation has on your win rate. A play you make in this situation may affect how your opponent's perceive you or the amount of action you're receiving in other situations.

KQo on right, 3way 3bet pot with LAG in BB.

Once we cbet the flop and get x/r by a rather large range (many draws out, esp once the other villain calls 2), what should be our intentions for the rest of the hand if we do not hit? We have a very vulnerable hand that may be best in this large pot. Are we just trying to SD UI for one bet on the big streets?

great vid as usual, all.

Since it's 3-ways, I'd probably be folding the turn, but it depends on what comes on the turn. HU I think I'm more inclined to show down assuming no hearts or broadway cards that don't hit me (I don't like 8, T, J overall as they pair up a lot of likely heart draws).

Having street by street info on the hud is a bit missleading since you rarely have enough of a sample size to really rely on that info.

It depends on what stats you're talking about, but generally speaking I think that's very wrong. Street by street aggression is, in my experience, generally VERY reliable about what it tells you about a player within 150-200 hands.

I'm talking about pfr.. and obv position by position not street by street my bad I've played with cbal and eg. his pfr after 500 hands looks completely flat. Just like most players in the video.

That's mostly because I suck, but I've actually found it correlates pretty well, and it gets there faster against the guys it's most useful against--the lags. It's not much different than having steal by position up. I try not to put too much stock in the number, but you can find trends in the numbers that are quite useful. And against the regs I have 1k+ against, the numbers are pretty steady.
