BOOOOMMM, just made a comment about bet sizing in the 1st vid and here it is already
niiice - gonna watch now !!
LOL at Porkchop expres's comment on beating 100NL at 7bb...I see him as 1.29bb overall at FTP, bit less than 100k hands, and only 2 sessions of 100NL HU and one 200NL HU, all 3 sessions being small negatives. Of course his big WR could be on some softer site.
just wanted to add that both dogishead's and alcohol4life's contributions were sick good
not often do you see vids where the sum of both commentators equals more than the single parts
great discussions and you guys explain your thought processes extremely well
love how you guys brought up checking back the K4 hand v the 63 hand in the vid
I only feel a little bad for porkchop here, I'd do anything I can to keep my DC name private after this as he got pwned like there is no tomorrow

There is no shame what so ever getting pwned by anyone, let alone DOGISHEAD. But if he really was telling porkies about his win rate, that's another matter.
i really dont like the fold on the 99AJJ board with KQ the first couple of hands.
We should call it because most of the time we got a flip, and if not, we gain much information about how he plays because we see a showdown really cheap!
at least MSNL, common!

Meh my FTP numbers have me as a fish I think. There are other sites imo.
Im Porkchop, and TBH first of all I suck HU. That is for sure.
As far as tableratings, it is far from correct. Since then I have fallen to maybe 5.5bb/100 at 100nl, but they are far from getting every hand. At the same time in the last month or so (since their "news release" that they improved coverage) they have gotten nearly all hands. But prior to a month ago they were awful. I once had a 32bi upswing in 15k hands and they had me as a loser that week by their stats.
I definitely defend 3b's too light as I saw in this video. At the same time I think I was thinking on a higher level than I was given credit for in a lot of spots. Still doesn't mean I was right... cause I got my tail kicked in that match.
I am not good at all at placing people on ranges HU and that showed in this video.
I did play him as a change of pace that night. I was about to sit out when he sat down, but a poker buddy and I were laughing over AIM when he sat, and I figured what the heck it's 50nl. I usually wont even play a regular HU.
Video is great by the way, though I think a little bit on the laggy side post flop, for teaching people HU. At the same time I am a multi table bot at 6max, so I really don't even know what laggy is HU.
Hey guys, great vid...
@ 35:45 Gman, you say you prefer to c/r str8 draws instead of fd's b/c they are more disguised if they hit. I've always thought you need to c/r (good) fd's b/c they are more apparent and less likely to get paid off when you are oop. What do you do w/ a fd oop? c/c, c/c, bet or c/r? I'm a little confused here. I do understand the reasons of c/r the KKJss brd w/ QT b/c of the high fold eq. %. I also understand when to c/r good combo draws as well... Maybe you can clarify and expand on you comment. Maybe give an example

Great vid again. Among other things, I thought it was really really good by Gman to bring up the K4 check back and why it was different to the 63 check back, cause that was exactly what I was thinking about right away. That's really valuable stuff if you can spot those things and discuss that right in the video, instead of having to think about it myself later and drawing my own conclusions, so def kudos for that.

Sure thing man. First of all, I don't think the difference between c/r OESD and FD is really that big, it's just a minor benefit imo. But w/ FDs specifically, it has become super super standard for people to be c/r them every single time. So on boards like Ad2d2x, people who would never c/r an A in this spot are ALWAYS c/r 9Tdd and it becomes pretty transparent to a good hand reader. Amongst most good players in fact, if you c/c w/ a FD and the turn completes your draw, most good opponents think that is actually a good card to double barrel because they assume you are c/r FDs soo much. On the contrary, when you c/r a FD and the turn makes your hand, a lot of good players use that as an excuse to fold a wide range of hands that peeled the flop (making it a good spot to often fire the turn after c/r the flop w/ air).
This doesn't mean you should always be c/c your FDs by any means. Obviously one of the main benefits of c/r and main problems w/ c/c is that your hand currently has no showdown value. But if you have the NFD, that is a spot where I will just c/c sometimes as I often have the best hand to go along w/ my huge draw. Another spot is if I have 2nd or 3rd pair w/ the FD since my hand already has some showdown value and I can peel against a turn barrel. Another spot is in a situation where I can't rep much of anything except a draw when I c/r, so I c/c. I also c/c in spots where it is very likely the turn will go check check and I can fire the river if I miss like on an A22 board, as most competent opponents aren't looking to fire twice on that board texture. And finally, someone who very rarely double barrels I will often c/c, and c/r mostly if they are prone to fire on the turn quite a lot.
Everything that I just mentioned above pretty much applies to straight draws too, I just think they can be a little bit more disguised on some board textures. Also, everything above only applies to opponents who can read hands fairly well. Against an idiot, no reason to try and outsmart them.
