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

This was possibly the best microstakes video i've ever seen. The concepts boiled down very simply, and having Kristy explain her thought processes as recently taught to her by baluga was extremely helpful.

I think i've been overthinking micro stakes so this video will help my game a ton. Can't wait to watch the rest.

Steve,

Excellent vids! Could you review the "Process" you refer to here. Better yet, Kristie, what is the "process" you now use at these points...

Thanks for the insight.

Cool. Excited for this series.

very excited about these series. Hope it can go as a coaching Tree, pls go to SSNL-MSNL as well

sometimes i wish there was a third season of Coaching Tree. Cmon! tuba, Andrew!

anyways thx for vid

nice vid

Great video, really interesting and informative. A couple of times "the process" to go through is mentioned by both Kirsty and BalugaWhale without it every being fully explained, would it be possible to get a quick explanation?

great vid!!! are there any vids with the same style for the micros that you would recommend watching?

The Coaching Tree

great video, good to have Balugawhale doing another series. I really liked the very end of the video where Kristy explains actually doing/applying what we have learned and how hard it really is.

^^^ This!

^^^ This!

sorry for the delays, on route to thailand right now

process when facing a bet or raise
1) passive or aggressive?
2) value betting or bluffing?
3) value hands worse vs value hands better, count up total bluff hands

process when deciding whether or not to bet or raise:
1) am I value betting or bluffing?
2) if value betting, which worse hands call or raise?
3) if bluffing, do I have PE + FE?


kinda sums it up

Andrew

My most favorite Baluga video to date. Andrew's explanations seem to be simplified more in this video than previous videos. This is like MS Grinder revisited. Looking forward to future episodes.

HEY Everyone! Kristy here. I'm so nervous/excited for everyone to watch this series! I haven't had a chance to rewatch it or go over everyone's comments yet, but I'm definitely going to do that later tonight. I just wanted to let everyone know I posted a blog about this just now!

I was going to watch the whole thing and ask some questions..and I probably will ask a few more but I stopped here because I was laughing so hard at Baluga's perception of playing poker for the first time haha! Ooo I've got an Acee and Jackk..that's pretty damn goooddd....ill raise it up...oh he raisess...result! I'm all in! oh he has two Kings...I'm still winning right?

Anyway the question haha...going back to the JJ hand earlier when Kristy bets the flop and turn for the value which is obviously perfect...but when the K comes off on the river are you 100% comfortable betting for value? I'm like...shit...I'll check and hope he checks...if he bets I might call a small bet...and I forget the board as I type but I'm thinking what is he actually going to call with here apart from a King..and there might have been two 10s on the board? I forget..but you get my point..

Great vid so far btw! Always great to see Baluga micro vids...and Kristy seems to have nailed the fundamentals after the coaching..

I'll continue watching
