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

There's so much dead time in the video.. the video looked like it was really forced or something.

I've had the clarity issue on my 13.1" MacBook but everything shows up very clearly on my 20.1" desktop monitor.

Deathdonkey: I have taken a screenshot of the video on Full Screen (using standard flash video on site) to let you see how badly the stack sizes look and other small details. It did not used to look like this.

That's not full screen size, but I'll see if I can figure out what's going on (that's 1280 wide, full screen on this vid is 1588 wide).

coach me!!!

I was wondering about this particular hand as well (A8 vs rakata A3). Also, your betsizing seems to be particularly varied in different situations. You did explain your reasoning on betsizing in some spots during the video but there were some others that left me scratching my head. All in all great vid, looking forward to the next ep.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz WAKE UP EMIL!!!!

edit: i have no problems with being able to see stacks or names, dunno what you donks are talking about.

edit 2: Mr Lime, i dont know if you took a bunch of xanax before you made this video or something, but you did seem very disinterested throughout.

Hey guys -- we had been experimenting with settings in the Flash player to make less load on your computers and it turns out having smoothing off (yeah I know tech mumbo jumbo) was responsible for this. Let me know if you still have issues (especially people with resolutions of less than ~1400px wide) but I just tested with two vids and they both look great now.

Perfect now, back to normal. Thanks mate!

man that was so satisfying to watch him stack people who played poorly.

vicarious revenge for all past donks who have lucked out on me.

Emil,

Like 12 minutes in on the right you pick up AA OTB when some clown had just posted in the cutoff and checked his option. At your normal stakes I'm sure no one posts before the BB but this happens all the time at lower stakes and if you have a monster it is almost always correct in my experience to limp behind as one of the blinds will raise light in that situation almost 100% of the time.

I completely disagree. People raising limpers out of the blinds is very uncommon unless they are holding premiums. On the flip side, if you see someone iso-raise or steal-raise to try and pick up the dead money in the pot, there is a very good chance you will get reraised. The only argument for overlimping is in the event that someone does raise, your hand is insanely well disguised.

55 mins you call BvB vs the 66 VPIP fish?

Please expand on why you done that?
Understand maybe calling for implied odds , but this fish has a very tight opening range and I dont see how especailly when we flop a hand like top pair, how we get value, becauuse our plan for the hand is just to get to showdown and if he shows any sort of aggression we need to fold.
If you could clarify that be great.

What was my specific hand? I'll chk PT and respond when I find the HH.

Emil,

10 minutes in you play a8 vs rakata's a3 and pay off his trips on the river. After the hand you said he's terrible - could you explain how you'd play his hand differently?

Haha, I was probably just annoyed I lost a pot. I chked the HH and rakata played the hand fine. The only gripe is I think he could've bet reasonably bigger on the river and still gotten paid off.

why don't you take notes on players? you got 4bet on the left table at 55 min mark by the same player who got it in against you on the right table with AQo at the 47 min mark and if you were aware that it was the same guy (play4funn) you didn't mention it.

I generally have a really good memory of hands that have happened, especially in the same session and since I don't play these stakes regularly, I didn't bother taking notes. However, I do highly recommend taking notes if these are the stakes you normally play.

If you want to point out specific hand histories where you are particularly interested in my betsizing, I can definitely give you some insights.

I just wanted to chime in and say I 100% agree with Emil's logic for not wanting to overlimp here. Many "thinking" players will 3bet lighter in these spots if they see emil iso-open vs a poster w/ dead money in the pot.
