Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Nolan (Micro/Small Stakes)

If peepleschamps (on table 3)bets the river into you can you call there for value or are you always behind his range? I usually check back the turn in this situation that you have, and find that they see it as weakness and so they lead out on the river. I fold most times to their bet unless its a weak bet.

Why do you say "hopefully get it all in" with KK in this spot, when the caller to your PF raise had odds for set mining? Would you call a shove here? Isn't that an EV- play? Or is the villain a maniac or something?

Thanks!

I just looked at my stats for 22-66 UTG and I'm showing a nice profit as well there.

guess you're way better than me, keep it up

utg is actually a spot where i take down alot of hands uncontested. its almost as if its the new steal spot. unintentionally, with big hands i have noticed i rarely get action rasising from utg. idk if its too risky to use as a strategy, given all those guys behind,but in games with multitable regs, it might be an effective move. utg or no, most of the time in nlhe, no one really has anything right.

i used to play alot with chiren8o on stars, and he very definitely was making this move, opening to 4x utg constantly, seemed to be effective.



this video was usefull to me, thankx. i did want to say that in my game, 25nl on tilt non rush, there is little or no limping. if you limp behind with 44 or something you will get squeezed 99% of the time. stars might be different.

I was replying to the other guy saying that... No need for the irony, I never said that I'm better than you, I'm just sharing a stat to discuss, maybe in the low limits (up to NL25) it is still profitable to limp or raise UTG with low PP as there is usually some fish around to stack off with some garbage... Or maybe I'm just getting a good side of variance, and after a million hands I will be losing with this play. Don't know, just wanted to discuss that, I don't think you are responding in a respectful way.

Greetings and keep it up.

I have a question here. Is the c-bet here to pick up the dead money in the pot? I mean, we're not getting called by many worse queens and Kx already have us beat.

Cheese,

It's more so to protect our hand and not offer any free cards. It's likely we have the best hand but letting two plays (four cards) draw to outs is dangerous. Also, if they do take a passive line here with Kx we can always check back the turn. So by betting we take the betting initiative, give ourselves two "free" cards, and don't allow 22 or whatever to get there.

Thank you for the reply

Nolan,

You talked about how raising the "donk bets" was a very good idea. Can you give more in depth definition of a donk bet? From what i gathered I took a donk bet to be a small bet (half pot or less), often bet out in front of you, and often done when you were the preflop raiser. Thank you ahead of time.

Nolan,

Great video!
Haven't seen much of blind stealing from you this session?
Is it because you had mainly maniacs on your left?
Or you just don't worry much about it?

I donk bet can happen on any street, and generally referencing someone betting into the aggressor on the previous street.

Thank you,

It was mostly due to the players on my left. Rest assured, blind stealing is very important and I generally open as light as I can possibly get away with.

I would like to see you playing NL10 to NL50 video this year for micro stake... This year may be harder than 3 years ago which you made these video. I would like to know how you win micro stake this year. Do you mind? Nevermind if can't.

Yes, I'll second that please, one for the newbies as Stars has definatley tightened up since three years ago and it would be good if you could take the time to maybe acknowledge the changes and show us how to adapt, maybe an Episode 2b. Thanks for the series.
