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

Very good video and an interesting fresh angle on 3betting etc, made me question some of the official mantra, which is always a good thing.

I hate this video! It only takes an hour to watch, but I need to spend way more time thinking about the stuff ;-)

Thanks for opening my eyes to a different strategy. Can we expect more videos from you in the near future?

hey guys,

thx for the feedback. to be perfectly honest i didnt think was as good as I could do in terms of videos, as youre right--not a whole lot did happen. I didn't get into too many cool or interesting spots, so I talked in abstracts most of the time.

I think you can expect at least a few more vids in the future, probably at varying limits.

I've played in these particular games for over a year and well....please just stfu b/c I agree with almost everything you say and just plz plz shhhhhhhh. srsly, v good video.

I really liked your commentary about image and the difference between an image you create as opposed to an image you have because you are running good/bad

i think you missed a few +EV btn/co opens which would also build an aggressive image as well

as for the guys complaining about lack of action, this is the reality of 2 tabling for an hour/100 hands of poker, off the wall action isn't guaranteed and he definitely shouldn't force it and it's not like hes going to keep remaking videos until he makes an action packed video

great video, very intresting thoughts/ideas.

Very nice!

Got to say, this is one of the most thought provoking midstakes vids I have seen in a while.

Excellent.

baluga, what is ur thought process on bet sizing in 3bet pots. Jw why you usually bet a larger amount then most players and how you choose a particular betsize. Board texture, stack size, psychology? Thanks

great video, perhaps the greatest video ever on DC!(IMO)

more plz

youre right about not too many interesting spots came up, but wth, the commentary was superb dude!

and plz if u make another video in the future, do it at 5/10 or above plz, thx!

I got a whole new view on 3betting pre and the reasons to do so. Cant wait to see your next vid.

A couple times you refer to flatting QQ KK and always 3bing AA because it can cooler more stuff.
Ofcourse I can´t disagree with that statement
However KK for example is a great hand preflop, if an ace comes to the board you can't really CR a lot of flops with it anymore and your handvalues goes down a lot compared to preflop. (also lose loads of value against QQ JJ who'd pay you off if you'd 3b pre)
I think that's something to keep in mind before flatting KK preflop, also KK still coolers a lot of his range.

An excellent illuminating vid, should be watched (or listened to) more than once.

One of the best videos i've seen so far.
I really liked the type of "concept video" where you talk about the concept in theory and then just take hands that come up and take them as a example for this concept and how your game within that concept would change if your history was ...,etc.

10/10 imo.
