What do you think of this spot on table one here? This is a classic fish line - once we check they bet small (min bet in this case) then pot the next street regardless once you only call. I guess the board pairing isn't great but generally what do you think the best line is here given our holding (55) or if we have a hand that has little equity - say overs on this board. If we have little equity are we just better raising the min bet? Can we call the turn bet with a hand with showdown value - like the 55 if he has a full stack intending to call small river bet or fold to a big one or is it just not worth it?

(This is all assuming we check, which I appreciate we didn't intend to here).

This series is SO DAMN GOOD. It's like worth the Deuces Cracked subscription ten times over in itself.

After watching this I fire up HEM and check my biggest lost pots:
FPS... FPS... Fold... FPS... FPS... Why am I betting here?... FPS...

Speaking of Joe The Pro, is he ever coming back?

Baluga, what are your thoughts on opening smaller when we are OTB vs the blinds, since we are probably going to be stealing a lot and folding to 3Bs out of the blinds? I see NinjaDolphin still hitting the pot button in these situations and I usually don't bet pot in this situation unless there is a really loose/passive fish in the blinds.

Kristy, the spacebar will pause your VLC player. So when Baluga says pause all you have to do is hit the spacebar. Just thought it might make it easier on you during these videos.

Pressing space again will, of course, resume the video.

I noticed Kristy mostly mashing the pot button pre-flop. I think this goes hand in hand with Balugas basic strategy of extracting value. We want to charge as much as we can for value, and pay as little to bluff, as possible. Our range is still betting for value OTB.

It may also simply be a simplification, for sake of training a beginners pre-flop game, and maybe we'll see different bet-sizes being discussed later. Baluga mentioned adjusting to better players in this video, and bet-sizing might play into that.

Lol, I thought the same thing hehe

Now it makes sense when she said she's talked to a lot of pro's before.
