Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by BalugaWhale (Mid Stakes)

Really enjoying these. Learn more than I do from a lot of the longer sweat videos.

For some reason I think this format suits baluga particularly well. Loving these so far!

I need to rewatch this one because I still haven't decided what the best plan is. IME I just 3bet get it in and if he has a set, oh well. I just don't think this is a spot you can make a nitfold, or try some exotic line OOP - you are playing into the opponents hands almost always by calling. Poker has gotten so complicated, a few years ago you just get the money in here if opponent's not a nit, and don't think twice 100bb deep.

BTW I love a 20 min video cause I can watch one while eating breakfast and it wraps up right about when I do. Long videos I have to come back to 2-3 times to finish (and sometimes don't).

Agreed. It's also nice to use them as sort of a pre-session warm up.

+1 The fact that they don't take long means you still have time to play, but they also get your brain chuggin'.

Another rly cool DC-Short

But @your mentioned scenario:
I strongly agree that on Boards where Villains have not too much FDs in their raisingrange, it is not so good to insta C/F when the 3rd colour comes in on the turn b/c it is the obv. "perfect Bluffcard" for a solid REG.
I am right in my guess that when you decide to continue on the turn (3rd Colour), the only possible line is C/Jam b/c
a.) it makes possible PotEQ from Villain folding (OnecardFDs, str8draws...) + we capitalize so the deadmoney in the pot
b.) when we C/Call here again, it is not too likely that Villain would continue his possible bluffs on a riverblank B/c we could also have in our perceived range (in his eyes) some flushes after B/Call F - C/C T (especially the bigger ones)

Bonus-question:
how you would play on the turn
a.) a low FD which you B/Called for any reason on the flop and which now improved to a flush?
b.) the nutflush

i hope/can't wait to be able to think like you. very good theory and explanation.

the more of these the better.

thank you

Thanks - I really enjoy these 'Shorts', as they give me something to think about without having to sit and watch for a whole hour. (short attention span?) Keep up the good work Baluga Whale (and other DC producers)!
