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

BW--

you mention bet folding vs somniac when we have QQ on a KK6 rb flop. Somniac is a 39/29 player. Your comment was : "what if he raises.... If that guy raises, he is most likely raising for value"

But, this is not the passive player that Kristy is speaking of in Baluga Theorem, this is somniac.

Were you meaning if any player raises on a KKx board it is most likely a King at micro's ?

great video, found it after checking out CK#2

which

you're right-- passive players raising are usually tripped up there, but bad aggro players mean we can't fold.

I am new to the site. I joined based on a podcast I heard of Balugas that mentioned this series. Excellent video and I look forward to watching the rest of the series. Great stuff

Is this still relevant going into 2012?

player types remain the same. so, learning how to beat bad-aggro and bad-passive remains the same.

good aggressive players are trying to learn to play rock paper scissors. If you can learn what they're throwing (i.e. rock), and if you know what the response is (i.e. paper), than you can beat them.

so, yes, imo.

Went from 20nl to 100nl to bust

Playing 10nl on better site and building bankroll back up - currently up 7BI in 3k hands running 3BI below EV, I can attest this content is still VERY relevant to the smallest stakes - 50nl on any site

i'm finally going to give poker another, serious try and will watch this series as many times as it takes to finally beat the micro hell
can't wait to watch/hear all of the baluga goodness

I find the 3b strategy to be quite interesting in these videos. Is it still fine to be 3bing with this regularity and with these hands? I've seen people talk about how we use a fairly ranged merge of 3b'ing rather than a completely polarised one. Is it good to be 3b'ing hands like Ace rag etc rather than like SC type hands and such?
