Cheers dj that has really helped my bank roll, i think this is the stepping stone i needed to increase my bank roll, as in the last three days i have been making a profit and my variance is very low. I have a couple of questions which may help me even more, in late positon you say if someone raises you should be cautious of roi hand like aj, what other hands should i be cautious about as well.

The other question is that what levels do the players start to become good readers of the game and you need to be more creative in your game playing.

thanks again

The hands you should be most cautious with are ones involving big cards with weak kickers. AJ, AT, any lower AX of course, KJ, KT, QJ, JT, etc. If you're going to play hands like that facing a raise from a player with a tight range, your hand should at least be suited, and you should be wary of playing a big pot postflop if you make top pair. But 2 pair or trips with your lower card or a straight or flush, you're pretty much good to go!

I would guess that players begin to be more sophisticated at nl200, and to a lesser degree nl100, but I'm not sure about that since I don't play those stakes.

Hi DJ,
I am studying this series and have also just watched your tool time vid re setting up the HEM Hud, I have noticed that your HUD's are different in your vids and to be honest I prefere the one used in this vid.

I have some of the stats already set up i.e. VPIP etc but I am struggling with the missing ones you use here, any chance you could advise me on colours and ranges for the following:

Went to Showdown
Flop Agg Factor
Turn Agg Factor
River Agg Factor

Thanks in advance

I don't really use WTSD, so I don't have a good idea of color ranges for it. As for the aggression factors, I'd say below 1 is passive, 1-2.5 is moderate, and above 2.5 is aggressive for all of them.

Sounds like your Internet connection got interrupted while you were trying to stream it -- it downloads/streams in full, but if the download gets interrupted while you're streaming it may cut out like it did for you.

amazing video and series.. I am just a year too late. I play 100NL regularly and play about 10-15 tables of it. I wonder how much calling behind IP vs a tight range is good in the games today. Games have certainly become way more aggressive but also way more nitty. You rarely see ppl getting it in with tptk and the counter strategy to this abc strategy is well known to most regulars and they almost always fold to your turn bet IP or flop raise OOP unless they themselves have a great hand. (these include tp2k and such).

summary,
1) precisely, I'd rather play 10/9 than 14/8. thoughts on that?

2) If i play this strategy preflop then post flop should have significant amounts of bluffing I feel on flops that are suitable. Otherwise if i just keep raising for value (at 100NL) i'd get screwed. Obvioulsy also opponent dependent.

3) there is no 3 betting strategy included and in today's games where we are getting 3 bet insanely from almost every position thats a thing to keep in mind.

For one, I'd be surprised if theres actually an 'insane' amount of 3betting from every position at 100nl fullring.

Secondly, I'd prefer to have a decent calling range in position, especially against tight ranges, because your implied odds are good and you have a decent chance to outplay them postflop. 3betting wider against a tight range is pretty bad, since they will just have very strong hands too often.
