Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by slowlane123 (Micro/Small Stakes)

I'm only half through the vid, so take this fwiw - I think this vid and series idea deserves a lot more love than it's getting. Try not to be offended by the tone, virtually all microstakes players (I'm included of course) have major leaks all over the place. When a guy like slowlane says it's beatable, here's how, this is what I'm doing at the table and why, and I can get away with doing it because the players at this limit are "bad" or whatever, take the word "bad" as "have major leaks all over the place". The trick is to understand what the leaks are, how to eliminate those leaks in your own game, and how to exploit those leaks in the other players.

I'm looking forward to the fresh take on a Moving On Up style series. There are always tons of posts complaining that there isn't enough micro content here, and that there isn't enough FR content, so... fwiw, I skipped slowlane's last series because I have no interest in rush poker, so this is my first exposure to one of his vids, and so far I quite like it and am looking forward to the series.

slowlane, small suggestion (and again, I'm only halfway through the vid, so...), maybe a summary of some of the more exploitable leaks/tendencies/whatever at the limit could be helpful at the end of the video, ideally referencing situations that appeared in the video (afaik, it's already at the end of the video and I'm an idiot lol).

Very interested in this, any chance of a episode every week?

But i hasten to add that for someone who has earned only about $10k on FT on a sample size of 30k hands over the course of 3 years (check out PTR anyone) needs to inject some humility into any vids made.
If your earnings were hovering around the $200K to $1M levels as are many pros at mid-high stake games, I would place much more relevance on what you have to say...!!!

lol

Why not just call here?

As I say in the video, full pot/large donks I generally read a strength, while min/small donks I read as weak. If he's strong on this board (and he was with TPGK) then I want to put more money in. Especially, as you say because we don't see him folding here very often.

Slyce: Great suggestion and I will be adding this in my next vid (an explanation of how to beat each stake).

Kybert: I'm doing every 2nd week, threads13's series runs in conjunction with this series on other weeks.

lol

Thank you for the further explanation. This makes perfect sense to me now.

Bottom left table, you're in SB & fold 88 to raise preflop. Why not see the flop or even 3bet?

Whats with the stars hate? I've played on nearly every other site and I dont think you can beat it.

Is it really a mistake to fold a hand because if you loose it then you think you'll get your money back anyway? They guy was bad I know but if you were sweating a student in this situaiton would you encourage him/her to call down because we can win it back later anyway?

Hello,

nice video so far :-)

I think, this board fits the limpingrange very well and you have not a lot of foldequity in general on this type of board.

What would be your plan for the hand, if you got called on the flop?

Which kind of cards would you secondbarrel?
Which kind of cards would you go broke, if you got raised on the Turn?

Thanks for the answers.

Table 4:

Why did you bet out on the Turn?

The A seems to be a good bluffcard for the preflopraiser and therefore I think, that a ch/ca line would have an higher EV, because you would get additional Bluffbets from your opponent.

What do you think?

Table 1:

I think, if our opponent checks back this board, he will have very often a weak hand. If he made a Pair with the 7 (which is imo very unlikely, because he raised from MP1) he is not likely to call a Turn and River bet.

Would this be a good double barrel spot?

Table 6:

Why did you fold AJo to the mindonk?

I guess, you did not saw it in the middle of the heat.

What would you do on such a drawy flop?
Would you prefer to raise or to just call?

Table 5:

Why did you c-bet on the Turn and River? Which range do you assign him?

You have the best hand very often on the Turn and River, but I see not any hand, which is worser than your hand, that will call a Turn- and River-Bet.

A ch/ca line would be better imo on the Turn, because he has the chance to bet worser hands. If he checks behind you can make a small River-bet for value.

These games may be crushable to someone who can play on PS, but for US players, the few remaining sites are ULTRA reg-infested and certainly NOT crushable. Beatable? Yes. Crushable? No.

Bottom left table, you're in SB & fold 88 to raise preflop. Why not see the flop or even 3bet?

He is half-stacked, hasn't raise a hand yet and we have an aggro player in the BB whom I will to see 3b a decent amount given his aggression so far.
