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

You know what bothers me about this video and alot of other videos these days? It's the same shit over and over again.

This is a 3/6 video, you can assume that everyone watching the video knows why to raise bigger or smaller preflop, there is really no need to go over it again and again.

I mean, stuff like that is being said in pretty much EVERY video these days, I wouldn't mind it being said in a 50NL or a 100NL video but cmon guys, its almost 2010.

Sorry if I offended any of you guys by saying this but I have been thinking this for months now and well... someone had to say it

Other then that it'll probably be a good video as usual, keep up the good work !

i agree.

as always it's a little difficult to sweat a player as good as whitelime and come up with a lot of spots where he screws up (or does something that's not easily justified).

This is why, in the last two videos, I've tried to add some specific things/rants/whatever to ensure some new content. There is going to inevitably be some filler in a true sweat though, which is why sweating isn't necessarily the best format for good players to use. That said, there is still a lot of good content here imo and there will continue to be throughout the series.

Thanks for watching,
Andrew

I agree that the stuff you mentioned should be basic to a lot of us at this point. But the thing I like about hearing it again and again is that I believe these small adjustments make a huge difference in your WR. The players that forget the small stuff far too often are the ones that usually struggle the most. And as far as I'm concerned, hearing about the small stuff over and over again, can only keep it fresh in my head. Which in turn = more $. In the end, we don't really make $ being the most super duper poker players all the time. We make $ because other players consistently make small mistakes and obv large ones. The more this stuff is beaten into our minds the better off we are.

Would it be possible to have the full length video available to download? While the highlights and good spots that are explained here are *great*, it would also be an interesting perspective to see an entire session to get an idea of the general flow of the game as well as the general flow of how one tackles a table.

I love the subliminal picture at about 38m in Andrew! It looked like the cover of your book, although i cannot be bothered to go back :-)

First time i have watched this vid, or any Mid stakes vids at all. Awesome listening to how you think through the hands it really is amazing. Also love emils c/rai all in on the 4 club river.

I think you were overadjusting to the player rachagammon in your analyses. I think a large reason for why he called the 4b with 63s was the fact that Emil 4bet really small and he was getting like 3.75:1.

I don't think that changes much. He's throwing away good money after bad as he isn't getting the correct odds regardless.

Time Link to 00:25:30

With the QQ hand, on the flop I prefere leading small like Whitelime did as it allows the villain to spew shove an even wider part of their range. I have overcards/backdoor,he might fold.....

Regarding the 63s vs QQ hand. When there is a superstar playing 42/35 running the table. He 3/4bets and squeezes more than a vulcano. How exactly are we suposed to playing against him?

With Emil and the crazy guy on the left table.
With the QQ isnt the raise size to small? I know its the nuts vs this fella but min raising OOP is surly asking for trouble?
I can see the logic as im sure he was leaving some dort of fold equity for the madman but in reality its pretty obv Emil has a monster imo.

Anyway, enjoying the series. It would be good to see it at 2/4 or even 1/2 not sure why every week you play deep 3/6.
It would be good to see how the adjustments are made in the lower level games.....Baluga would spew obv ;-)

I would assume that everyone knows that not eating well and lack of exercise are detrimental to health, yet, there are many who either don't get it or are deaf.

Maybe repetition is not so bad and assumption is quite possibly the mother of all fuck ups.
