Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by tubasteve (Micro/Small Stakes)

watching!

Great, been waiting since last week

nh tuba, great content!
I was wondering, does your road to robusto end at episode 8?
or will you be making 100 nl videos soon?

Hey Steve,

In regards to your discussion about 3betting, doesn't that go directly against you and baluga's "Coaching Tree" series? In that series you advocate not 3betting hands like AQ, AJ because we fold out hands that we dominate and we'll get 4bet jammed on more often that we'll be called.

3betting AQ at microstakes seems like a spot where you're making the guys fold AJ and worse, but only continue with AK+ so the hand you 3bet might aswell be 7-2...To quote baluga anyway.

Oh, posted this before your rant. Playing against the typical tagfish do you really think that they call 3bets more often than 4betting?

This video on wmv is only 75mb,I think last weeks was 256mb. Is the quality better this episode or did u compress this time. Just wondering because I was messing w/ camtasia and the files came out enormous and just wanted to know if I have it on too high of quality setting or do I need to compress. Thanks Tubes

I'm not trying to speak for Tuba, but I think you'll find that one of the biggest leaks in the micros is calling 3bs too much. Therefore, we can gladly 3b AQ and expect to get called by many hands like AJ or SCs. I know I had that leak when I was in the micros. So I think the thought process that people are 4b/folding to 3bs is pretty inaccurate in the micros. Of course it can happen, but I would say that you can get a ton of value 3b against the many, many players that will flat 3bs IP AND OOP and then play fit/fold postflop.

Well one of the great things about poker is the game isn't solved. I've talked to a few people and come to the conclusion that 3-betting >>>> flatting those hands.

Watch NoahSD's 5-10 video for a bit more explanation. Besides, Baluga loves big cards...

Hey Again,

I agree with you that 3betting is superior against SOME villains. I feel like you're generalising NL50 players here by saying 3betting >>>>> flatting as a general statement.

Against the typical 60/5 fish 3bet anything for value, but against your standard 18/15 tagfish, they are just not going to show up with worse should they decide to call a 3bet. Can we outplay them postflop...yes, but couldn't we have done that with 7-2?

gogo season 2!!

respectfully disagree, i think you're giving 50nlers way too much credit. ive coached plenty of 50nlers that don't fold to 3-bets.

furthermore as i attempted to illustrate with teh AQ hand, i dont really care if i have < 50% equity when called because with the initiative i'm going to make money.

Just moved up to 50 NL along with this video and most of the tables are made up of at least 8 tabling multi tablers (or thats my impression at least). Considering that, how important is creating image at 50nl?

i got called down by AQ high during that session by a nit, so i think it matters more than you'd expect. and even if it doesnt matter a ton, playing laggy still allows you to pick up all the pots they aren't fighting for. win-win.

also, this is probably more important than the beginning of my post, but you really ought to be able to find good 50nl tables without any trouble. what site do you play on?
