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

Yay, another whitelime video.
First of all, aren't you playing a bit too loose? You keep trying to 3/4-bet people while you're running at 44/40 stats with marginal to very bad hands. I know you made the comment that because you're deep it's not all that bad, and that you want to get into interesting spots for the video, but how interesting are those spots for us when most of us don't 3/4-bet light while running at 44/40? Maybe it's better to play a bit tighter, but still loose (30/26, etc) so the spots you get in are more interesting, since a lot of the members get into these spots themselves when they play.

On to a specific hand, at around minute 37:00 you say you do call his minraise with A10/AJ of spades and only continue when you hit. Could you explain this concept a little further? Is it profitable enough to do so, and what if you only hit a 10 or a J, making you third pair, will you still continue (and probably stack off cause the opponent is so short) with the hand?

Overall I enjoyed the video and can't wait for more.

Nice video, wouldnt it be fun playing 44/40 and be huge winner. 24/20 is pretty boring at times.

Really enjoy watching whitelime playing. Good one.

I'm pretty sure you can win playing 44/40 at these deep tables. I also don't think I run THAT loose. Probably just picked up some more 59s type hands instead of the J5o crap. I'd say something like 37/30 is more about what I'd play. Furthermore, I think I only play ever so slightly looser in these videos than I would actually play if I wasn't recording. For the future, I'll try to point those spots out where I would otherwise take the tight route but I end up taking the looser less +EV one for the purposes of the video.

What's the HH at 37:00? I'm on a computer that can't view the video right now...

You open A9 of spades UTG 4-handed, so basicly from the CO.
SB calls with a $213 starting stack.
Flop is Qc6hKs.
SB checks, you cbet $34 in $46, he minraises you pretty quick to $68, you fold.

simple question, are you opening pot from every position because its deep or as a default ?
just can't recall from previous vids if you opened to 3x or pot usually, thanks

also another thing i've been thinking about / struggling with is that if we're 3betting a very wide range and constantly applying pressure on others, how much does it change our felting range preflop, after we've 3bet someone a ton and he finally 4bets us and we have like TT or something similar do we automatically assume that he is finally taking a stand and still felt or just let it go thinking he finally picked something up (which in a nutshell i guess means that should we adjust our ranges for getting it in preflop according to our own 3betting and 4betting frequencies or to the hands that we see villain showdown in similar spots?)
I am probably explaining this really poorly but i hope you understand and can give me some thoughts, thanks

Hi Emil
You clearly have a very loose 3-betting range pre-flop. Just wondering whether you find this is profitable per se, or whether it contributes more in metagame, i.e. creating an image and getting you paid off with your real hands?

I suppose you could check in Poker Tracker/HM to see if these suited connectors are profitable for you. I'm sure big pairs will be much more profitable for you than for tight players.

great video.

Hi Emil,

Quick question...

When you called the 3bet with 22 OOP, you decided to c/c the Kxx rainbow. From what I could tell you were readless other than from the few hands you'd been at the table.

I would think that the c/c with 22 isn't a profitable play unless we have the read that villain is always shutting down after making the initial c-bet. Do you feel you can c/c there because villain is often going to read you to having a King, and not bet turn or river?

I feel like once I see an opponent c/c 22 on any board in a 3bet pot, I'm going to be barelling with a ridiculous frequency.

Could you give any further thoughts on that hand please.

Thanks,
Mark

Why cant I see this vid? Just stopping after 30 sec, whats the problem????

Both, but mostly metagame.
