Poker Video: MTT/SNG by OMGClayDol (Micro/Small Stakes)

Time Link to 00:35:20

At this point as well as like playing out of the blinds and stealing, should I take into account the downside to playing marginal hands like flopping bottom two or top no kicker and calling off a lot of chips that you wouldn't have with a tighter range. This may seem like a nitty question, it just seems like I find myself in this position a lot. Thanks.

Yeah I mean everything is considered, it's definitely possible we could get coolered or just flop a piece + villain flops better but the pros outweigh the cons imo. Of course it's villain dependent but I think we can also get away from some "strong" hands sometimes, for example if a guy who is like 9/7 over 50 hands raises my c-bet on Q72 and I have Q3s, I might just fold as even though he doesn't rep much this type of player is basically never bluffing and I don't beat his value range. I wouldn't worry though; I'm not saying we should be actively thinking about folding our top pair or something but basically point being you don't have to call off a big raise or something necessarily.

I really appreciate the things u teach on his video! The calculations with the calculator and pokerstove with various outcomes in different situations and with the calculated amount of bb’s won if called- just amazing. I don’t mind that the hand review takes over 3 videos long. I actually pause the video each time u ask Hadoque ‘what would u do in this spot’ or ‘ what would be ur calling range on this point’ etc. These things really opened my eyes. Right now I’m winning regularly and I hope this is not variance…

Haha great, thanks a lot - appreciate the compliments! Best wishes and gl, let me know if you have any questions in the future at anytime

I feel offended by the 4.5bb utg shoving range you gave me.

Haha, sorry. I assume you mean you shove significantly wider. Most regs probably do but unless I specifically know a certain player -will- shove a certain range in spots like that (seen showdowns, or something) I generally lean towards a (too?) conservative range when making estimates.

btw I think your second series is not nearly as good as the first one. Maybe it's the student/mentor concept but you just seem to waste a lot of time going over standard spots your student (and everyone who plays 180s on regular basis or watched the first series) is familiar with for 20 min where 2 would do it.
Hope quality goes up again, atm the vids are not worth the watch imo.

Thanks for the comments - yeah fair enough. Would be interested to see what others think as I've actively tried to cover some spots in "more depth" - trying to talk about some other alternative/non-standard lines etc, where applicable. I guess how useful this series/if it's worth watching also depends a lot on what your personal skill level currently is too. "Established" regs and stuff would probably benefit less than guys who are newer and of course I expect a second series to be marginally less benefitial (although still hopefully benefitial) to all players overall anyway.

Is there anything in particular you would like to see? (Other than going over more standard/common spots faster). Will do what I can - like I said, would love others to comment too, I won't take anything personally etc so feel free to be honest etc.

Well I just think the more spots the better. You're probably right that more experienced players won't find a lot of spots really interesting. And liveplay is always easier to watch and follow imo.

Sorry had very little internet the last few days! Thanks for the feedback again, will definitely try take into consideration what you said, let me know if you have any questions or comments at anytime, gl

Dont know how to make 'time link' but im really interested in hand 1:19 - the twos.
Firstly i was - woooow i've made so many mistakes in past insta calling this versus as aggro regs like derlude etc. Bu t after that i've opened stove and :
vs 40% steal (i think he's pushing there even wider but nvm) we have 46,6%
vs 30% steal (which is ridiculus for derlude here) we have 45,%

as replayer says, we need about 42% to call.. so I really dont know why we insta fold this and thinking about 55 only? I'm really interested, what am I missing

about series and topics: firstly I want to say really thank you man, your previous series made me I think v. good winning reg (its a topic for a long conversation, because I've just discovered sth sad for me ... I'm at 60% roi @ 3r, 3% roi @ 8s, and around -10%roi@ 15s .... I explain to myself its just variance.. but what do you think, is it possible to be that good at 3r and that suck at others 180s ? not sure, would love to hear you opinion - samples are about 2k games per stake)

so : less hand histories with other players (im saying about going thru whole tourney of 1 player), maybe a film, where you analize a single hands from DC users ?

Well the 3rs you should have a higher roi because it's deeper so therefore in general you should have a bigger edge. That being said it still could be variance even with that sample size. I did consider doing a video looking through 2p2 and DC hands but I don't think there will be enough. Perhaps you could consider a single hour of coaching or something just to see if it's just variance or whatever, you should get something else out of it anyway. Gl, and let me know if you have any questions at all

Did you get the time wrong? We are looking at sharkscope at 1.19

The hand im talkin about is on 1:19:00 , at the end of the video, not at the beggining

Are you offering coaching? I would be really interested
