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

WMV still in production, should be up in like 30mins.

Nice to see the steady output of good FR videos. Really like the multiple-coach format too as FR vids often have more dead time and it's easier to fill it with multiple coaching.

i love this new full ring squadron intro. great stuff.

two hands:

K7dd....i probably should call this little minraise with top pair given how drawy the board is and given he seems somewhat donkish, i think i was just really concerned with what was going on in the AA hand below and just folded.

AA....best play on this river is 100% c/shove. I bet for value cuz I was in runbad mode and just didnt want to lose value. But really, any hand that would call a bet would probably bet if i checked to them. The only possible had i could see is if he had like AQcc he might check that back.

Was somewhat suprised to see you fold 22 in the SB vs an agressive shortstacks button open. I would often just put the guy all-in there as most agressive SS are opening a very wide range on the BTN and will end up raise/folding often. And when you do get it in, you still have like 43-45% equity in general, so the play should show a profit overall.

Maybe it becomes a little more sketchy with the BB still to act though, but if he is tight, he will rarely mess with you in that spot, so he shouldnt play much of a factor

Also, if you do double him up, he might leave which doesn't hurt either

meh, i'm really not sure how profitable shoving 22 will ever be there. but luckily we don't have to worry about it anymore becuz no shorties on ftp!!!!

I was just wondering but how many tables do you usually play and for how long or how many hands?

Amen brother!

I agree on the fold.

I think people overestimate the equity of 22, especially against a SS range all-in.

I think an aggro 9/8 SS will min raise about 22% from the BTN first in.

That looks like 33+ A8o, A2s, Any two broadways

22 is 42.5% equity against that range.

Sure there is some % of that range that might fold but the part that calls will have even stronger equity against 22 when all the money goes in.

People also underestimate the difference between 22 and say 88

Instead of being 42.5% against that range, 88 is 53.85%

That might look like a small difference but it's monster.

I was just wondering but how many tables do you usually play and for how long or how many hands?

i play 12-14 tables at any given time, and i try to play 2k hand sessions. sometimes when I'm in the zone I'll go a little longer and play like 2500-3k. I try to put in one 2k hand session each day.

Yikes were games that soft two years ago that 22 is a fold from the sb when a 20bb stack btn opens? I can't imagine he has a lower than 40% steal here. 22 is slightly behind when allin against his range but you're making a lot the times he folds and it keeps him from being able to increase his stealing range with you in the blinds. Also you 3x opened a ton and minraised with a ss behind once and rapidevolution even said he preferred a 3x raise in one hand. Did shortstacks just call a lot pre and hardly jam pre or something? Opening to 3x with a ss behind seems pretty horrible to me in almost any situation unless I'm missing something?

Don't mean to sound harsh but either fr played way differently 2 years ago or I'm missing something. I started playing fr recently.
