I feel bad for everyone else when you appear to be psychic and flop sets all the time. Nice vid.

any chance of playing some msfr on stars for this series?

live sweats for the whole series, please

yes please

fantastic

Thankyou

Table 3: I agree that our hand is too weak to be calling here, but given his wide squeezing %, are you ever 4betting a hand like this as a bluff, given that we have blockers to KK/JJ/AK?

I would have no problem 4b bluffing here and it is something I should of mentioned (a lot going on in my head while making 6 tabling live sweat videos). His fold to 4b stat is super important in this spot.

Table 6: If we assume that his range is weighted heavily towards made hands and draws on the flop, and he checks the turn back (which I would assume discounts his value hands), I'm confused about the purpose of the blockbet when he's going to be checking the river back with the small part of his range that does have SD value and betting (presumably) a polarised range from which we discounted big value hands. This spot feels like a c/c to me, given the way the board ran out...thoughts? (I'm probably missing something here)

I probably should of thought about this more and it makes a lot of sense, my only issue is if I check here I am not confident calling a big bet and I am super unlikely to get raised when I do lead. My standard in this spot with all weak showdownable hands would probably be to check call because I think hes as you said his betting range will generally be very polarised.

Nice video.

Any chance of you doing a video on Stars???

No chance I have played 0 midstakes games on Stars ever and do not know the player pool what so ever. My lifetime of play has been at FTP.

Regarding the KQ hand; would you make plays this thin at lower stakes or do you prefer to wait for better spots? Is it more opponent dependent than stake dependent? Do you consider making less thin-value plays in juicier games?

If you have the correct read on his hand range this play is obviously fine too at lower stakes.You should always try and get in as many spots as you can with weaker opponents and sometimes they may be thinner than you like.

An idea for the theory video:

I'd like to see a theory video about playing from the blinds vs regulars.

Regarding these situations:
I'm having trouble with figuring out when and what hands to 3bet vs regs from the blinds. What hands to call with, when to check/raise flops, when to lead, when to float, how to play vs aggressive barrelers from the blinds. I would love to see a theory video about that subject.

Go back and check my previous series I talked a lot about 3betting polarised and depolarised. Also Nolans old series Twee Bets is very good to watch concerning this.

I'm trying to figure what your colour codes mean:


Yellow: reg
orange: good reg
red: very good reg
light blue: ??
blue: bad player
purple: very bad player
Green: ??

Something like this?

Something like that

Table one: 87: You say: "there are some good card we can double barrel in this spot". Which cards are you planning on double barreling? ( my guess: any 5, 9, Q, K,A) And I assume you would check fold this board we had like 22-55?

That seems about perfect, in all honesty though this flop is probably very marginal to be cbetting as he is going to be floating a lot. This would probably be a spot that if I did decide to double barrel, I would probably unload the clip and fire three given how I expect him to play some stronger hands on the flop and turn (depending what card comes).

is this flat with 76s on table 2 standard with 100 bb stacks effective?

This is probably thin but I have no issues defending a lot of good implied odds hands in this spot if I have good reads on how a player is going to play. Ideally I would like two things: A fish behind in the blinds or on the button or for it to be a low chance that we get squeezed behind. I would say every FR regular flats every low pocket pair here, in terms of that 67s is going to play similar. I would also rather flat 67s to his UTG open (probably from a tighter player) because their range is going to be stronger and easier to play against.

Ty Rusty you are the man!

I feel bad for everyone else when you appear to be psychic and flop sets all the time. Nice vid.

I would rather be good than lucky, or maybe the other way around

Answered above.

Thank you for your response, I will certainly check those vids out too.

Awesome video.

I would really love to see more live sweat videos on dc.

all live sweats would be cool

maybe, 1-2 vids on thoery behind a) 3B pots IP/OOP, type of hands, different floats lines/semibluffing etc b) floating vs raising/chraising when better what hands/boards etc... c) barreling blanks, not only equity/scarecards, when etc.. just some random thoughts

I really wish this wasnt 6 tables...why cant people do two or four tables when Im really excited to see a video. Some people cannot digest that much going on at once..

No chance I have played 0 midstakes games on Stars ever and do not know the player pool what so ever. My lifetime of play has been at FTP.

What about playing something lower like NL200 on Stars as a "playing vs. unknowns" video that shows what early adjustments to make? Would be interessting to see what to do in the first session(s) on a new limit or site.

Time Link to 00:14:41

wouldn't it be better to c/r small with AQss? you mention the draws in his range, but they're getting abysmal odds on a call when you shove and would probably shove themselves given the chance

Very good vid imo. You talked and clicked pretty fast but still managed to say the most important points in every spot and so altho it was quite fast paced it didn't feel like you were rushing. I def have to check out your previous series for more in depth analysis

I think 4 tabling would be better.
You can talk more about interesting spots and you're not timing out ^^
This timing out stuff tilts me sooo much
Very good video nevertheless ^^

no way 4 tabling fullring is better, come on 6 is the min!

and keep ftp imo pls

Table 2:
What do you think about raising turn to get more money from UTG1 given that BU is so short and hasn't got much money behind? We force BU out but we can get whole stack from UTG1.
