Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by threads13 (Micro/Small Stakes)

Hi. First of all geat series!
About your new HUD stats, why are stopped using PFR and Agression stats? Do you think they are not that important or you are just cheking them in the pop up menu if necessary? I thought PFR is "must to have' stat...?
Thanks for reply in advance.

I have PFR on my HUD, but Aggression Factor or Frequency I don't. I will sometimes check Aggression Frequency via my popup to see if anything is really interesting (numbers that fall drastically from the norm), but I've actually removed Aggression Factor completely. I have absolutely no way of ever looking at that number. That should give you an idea how important I think that stat is.

I'm sorry if I sound stupid (I am a fish after all), but why is aggression factor unimportant? I wish, I had a better understanding of these things. Do you use the PFR/Agg freq. and notes to like determine how often he is likely to double/triple barrel postflop?

To me it's really not intuitive. To calculate it, it's like add all the raises and the bets and divide by the calls... and then you have to figure out where you're at in the lunar cycle or something.

.......... or I could just look at the aggression frequency and see the percentage of time they bet or raise. I think that's way more intuitive

Also it takes forever to converge anyways. VPIP/PFR converges much faster and usually will give you an idea of how your opponent thinks about the game. After a lot of hands I'll start looking at aggression frequency more, but by then I probably have played enough that I have a bunch of notes on the player anyways so it still is only useful every once in a while.

I just can't see a reason to ever use aggression factor now that we have aggression frequency. Aggression frequency is far superior.

Ok Thanks a lot Threads13 for the thorough answer. I'm working on my HUD setup still. I'm kinda a noob, when it comes to HEM as i've played on sites which didn't support it for most of my active poker life. This will help. Thanks!!

Fishy

Hehe. I understand now, thx.

BTW, I asked you about PFR, cause there is no this stat in the file you upload here:"leakbusterfullring".

That's weird. There definitely should be.

Could you explain your color coding of players. What colors are which player types?

Typically it was something like:

green = mark
orange = reg
red = tough aggro reg

I think I used blue or purple for short stackers, and the other for bad tight-passives. Not sure which was which and I didn't see any obvious examples in skimming, but I'm sure it will be apparent from watching.

Let me know if there's any other ones I've forgotten about. I haven't played on FTP for a while so my memory is a little fuzzy.

How did you copy the Date and hour to your note with just a click? nice one...

That's a Grindcore super-ninja move. Basically I just copy it and put it on my clipboard. So, I'm just hitting CTRL^V.

Table 4:

You say, that there are a lot of draws on this Board possible, but your opponent has a tight openraising-range. On this board it is very difficult for him to have any kind of draw, because he will not play hands like 9T,TJ and the Ad blocks all his possible flushdraws. He could have imo KdQd as Draw, but this is just one combo. You also will not very often have a Draw, because I assume your callingrange vs his UTG-OR in MP will not have a lot of suited connectors.

On this Board he will have very often Ax-type hands or Pocketpairs 77+. I guess, that if you raise he will fold nearly everything except AK. Wouldnt it be a better play to call the Flop and hope that he will barrel the Turn again?

Table3:

Which cards would you doublebarrel on the Turn/ triplebarrel on the River, if your opponent would call you on the flop?

Time Link to 00:47:07

You said, that you choose hands for double barrel at the flop, which have good equity against the callingrange.

1. Which equity against the callingrange should a hand approximately at least have, that you would consider this hand as a good doublebarrel hand?

2. Do you value Outs to the Nuts higher then for example outs to Overcards?

2. Would you distinguish between OOP and IP? (e.g. OOP higher equity required then IP)

3. Do you also take into consideration, if you have a higher Foldequity on certain Flops?

Btw awesome video. I already learnt a lot. I am looking forward to watch the other vids :-)

Why are you more likely to bet on this board KJo instead of A7?

Would you bluffcatch with A7o on this board vs this player?

By there being a lot of draws on the board I really mean that he can potentially put me on a draw when I raise. Furthermore, if draws come in that could easily slow him down with hands like AK/AQ. It's not so much that I want to raise to get value from draws.

So, I think it's a little bit better to play our hand fast here. I doubt that he will fold an A out right, and even if he c/f's AJ/AQ on the turn I still got 2 bets from him. I don't imagine calling gets 3 that often given the wetness of the board and that him 3-barreling AQ/AJ is a bit of an overplay.

Calling is a reasonable play as a mix-up and slowplay, but I think raising should be your default play - especially if you raise a lot of flop c-bets.
