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

In the grand scheme of thing as deuces cracked as a product nothing is ever "bonus". The site is a package as a whole that is being marketed and paid for based on it's value. I will say this though. A low res baluga vid is way more +EV than a high res crap video like many of them at cardruners...

Hey baluga, at 32:17 you fold your top pair bad kicker (JT), stating as reason he would not cbet on this board 3way unless he has something good. But in my experience, which of course is not by a long shot as big as yours, bad limping players cbet ANY board, HU or multiway when they finally do raise a hand. It seems somehow they expect you to fold all kinds of hands, because he finally did raised a hand. I've seen bad players cbetting flops like JT8dd and checkfolding a blank turn. Also, when i think back of myself in the beginning, i used to cbet 100% (tho i dont think i ever openlimped mind you )... Isn't this one of the most occuring leaks of players? Now i know you don't use stats; but if i had to guess judging on what i have in my database, i think at least 90% of the limping, passive, calling station type players have a 100% cbet%.

Now as i'm typing all of this, i am thinking... and what is my question exactly? Hmm I guess i'm seeking confirmation or deniance by you again and maybe some other players


For the next ghost vid, i'd to see some 100NL action


Keep up the good work, all great vids, my game improved massively thanks to you.

i think at least 90% of the limping, passive, calling station type players have a 100% cbet%

I would have to disagree with this. If you are limp/calling as a passive player, then you can't cbet. A cbet is done by the preflop raiser. Also, if a passive player DOES raise, he has a hand and they don't have a tendency to bluff very often, especially multiway. What Baluga was saying is that JTs plays well against his range, but he's not playing the hand hoping to hit top pair. Once villian bets on that board multiway, his range is heavily weighted towards hands that crush JT.

Eh, no, the 100% cbet% is for when he DOES raise obv Anyway... I dont agree with the "when he does raise, he has a hand" ... Of course, sometimes they do, but also sometimes they like to limp-call a raise with AA/KK and use the raising button, only to "mix it up" with random trash. With these kind of players, i've learned you can never be sure of their range.

If someone is mixing it up by raising random trash, I think you may have incorrectly assigned him as a passive player

why? i'm taking about 60/4 players

Someone raising 4% of their hands means they are probably only raising QQ+ and AQ+. If they decide to get tricky w/ AA/KK sometimes, then we can throw in JJ and KQ too. I just don't see a 60/4 raising 68o enough for me to put that in his range. And if he does decide to randomly raise that hand, the chances he is raising it AND cbetting into 2 people are VERY small.

Alright, that makes sense.

I win!

Just kidding, glad I could help Not sure if it all made sense, but I tried.

Have a great time in Oz Andrew. Don't steal too many of our women with your balla pokah lifestyle.

Love some of the concepts you discussed - as usual.

Surfs up.

Where in Oz ru atm Baluga?

Great vid, Andrew.

I thought the 6/3 hand was a very interesting spot.

For your next vid, I'd like to see a Full Ring vid, preferably a $100NL vid.

I know you said your next vid will probably be 2 tabling and talking live but if you can figure out what the problem was making this vid, I think it'd be great as I really enjoyed the format of this vid.

Thanks!
