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

Really tough video to make this time, I got random spots of action from various opponents. One really great opponent in this video who plays a Stud8 hand like I've never seen before. But I was across 3 tables to try to keep action going to record the video, what happened was I got opponents all at once! Hope that didnt distract too much.

Another top video JT.

joe, don't you have a live hand in both directions here? You have outs, maybe the best hand, and a live low + pair draw. I don't know, but folding there with one card to come seems really nitty. Even if you are behind, you have so many cards to catch up. Help me. I think i am making big mistakes at times.

Fantastic series, looking forward to next vid vs the reg. Nice adjustments vs the maniac, but I wonder: why you didn't fold more of the trashier hands pre- in omaha hi-low given that you could count on getting action every hand?

fwiw bert is a very spewy nl player. Can you discuss a bit why you want to be tighter from the button in o/8 compared to lhe?

Given you have Q hi on the flop and a pair on the turn, and that he has been check-raising you sooo much on the turn, checking back the turn here would be my natural line - especially as he has shown that he can stab at rivers in O8. Is this bad?

You have a bad timing tell with marginal/weak hands on 3rd/predraw. You often take a longer pause before opening pre with a weak hand; you automatically steal with your "no-brainer/strong" hands whilst continuing to talk but you wait until you have finished talking with the weaker ones. It seems to also be inducing aggression on his part.

You linked me to a holdem hand, btw.

What you really mean is:

"You have a bad timing tell when you are making a live-video for a series on DC, and are making sure you do not mis-speak, say 'um' or say 'like' too much. Especially when you have another table running so if the maniac leaves you can get another table up to finish off the video."

Yeah, that might be a good line for this spot, get to showdown cheap as possible.

Who needs PPR?

You should not stop raising here as you have him board-locked.

Do you not feel a check-call lets him put in an extra bet with worse here and saves you from being raised by better? If you think there is value, you can check-raise-fold?

This is exactly what I meant. I was only mentioning as I think villain's actions were being somewhat affected by it, and it was possibly affecting game-flow.
