Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by blah234 (Micro/Small Stakes)

I don't know why most coaches didn't cut the audio and remake just that part when they said something which is wrong or confusing.

cool video, almost like some aha moments in here...that help explain a flawed thought process to great one. Really like how u explain what ranges we can use to x/r vs a polarized and depolarized c-bettor. Almost seems like poker can be very profitable and exploitable when u know if villian is polarized or depolarized...

I just want to make sure I understand this- we want to flat suited connectors in the blinds against weak ranges in BTN/CO for the purpose of semi bluffing with draws/low pairs/2 pairs against these ranges?

We want to apply lots of pressure to weak ranges with any amount of equity that we flop.

I'm a little confused by this

If villain is more likely to raise than call shouldn't we bet betting a polarized range? Or are you saying specifically, if villain is more likely to raise than fold or call then we should take this line...

nevermind. Covered in the next slide ;-)

Hi.Really enjoying your vids.A few doubts:

At 11'35 - You said that distribute your air on the flop,turn and river.I Didnt understand it.Can you please give an example for it.

I forgot to note the time for this but i think its ok since its theory anyways.....As i understand it "We c/r hands like gs,weak pairs etc(vs polarised cbet range) becoz we are not going to fire more bluff barrels on later streets.Reason is since he has a polarised range he will fold his air to our c/r so when we calls he has a very strong range"So what to do if we have something like the nfd or maybe non nut flush draw????are we semibluffing or simply c/c??I think we should c/c because we dont want to get raised of our equity but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

We construct our ranges where we put some air into each street, have a relatively balanced c/c, c/f and betting ranges for each street. The result is you don't have very air heavy ranges such as those who open 50% on the button then cbet 80% of the time. Details on how to construct ranges is fairly complicated.

I don't consider hands with lots of equity vs villain's range a bluff. What is the difference between TP and GS and NFD? When you answer that question be able to answer you own question.

hey thnx.As for 'lots of equity' how much equity are we referring to??I guess >35%(since we can add FE to strengthen the PE+FE value).As for your question on whats the difference between TP,GS and NFD i think it defends on their equity.eg. On a certain flop vs a certain range if TP and NFD has same equity then there is no difference in their strength.Its just the hand that has more equity at the moment that is more strong irrespective of whether it is an A hi fd or a TP.So i think if we plan to c/c with a TP hand vs a polarised cbet range then we should do the same with a fd.I hope what i am saying makes sense and is correct.Please correct me if i am wrong..

This, only difference between hands are their equity vs a range that continues. Equity is relative to people's ranges which is why absolute hand strength is meaningless most of the times and we should look at relative hand strength. Before you get to showdown it doesn't matter what your hand strength is.

Do you rather have NFD or bottom set when you get minraised on the flop? What if villains' range is sets only?

When i get raised on some flop then i think a set is better because it always has a great equity against a raiser's range of sets,fd,bluffs.If villains range is sets only then we have to fold our bottom set as we are dead against his range.If his range is wider then a set is better as his fd's,tp are all behind us.

On te button he is folding 88% to 3bets.

I think It's good to 3bet polorised. AAKKQQ- and Kxs-Jxs-Qxs-Kxo-A2o-A8o.

He is cbetting 88%. and the turn 40%. Do you like rais a lot of flops or float flop and bet river when he checks turn?

What if you kept getting dealt 72o instead of AAKKQQ- and Kxs-Jxs-Qxs-Kxo-A2o-A8o when he opens the button?

raise flop or call flop depends on your hand and how much do you want to see a turn card.

I think I will 3bet also then, but Isn't is bad to 3bet any hand. I think when i 3bet him any hand he will quickly pick that up, but when I 3bet him whit a range like Qxo Qxs Jxo Jxs Kxo Kxo Axo Axs he don't pick that up and will fold(this range is also like 18%.

How will villain pick up on your actual range? Just because you 3bet once even if he sees it then 72o may be in your perceived range but you don't need to have it in your actual range again.

If it's higher EV to 3 bet than fold or call then you should 3bet. Having static 3 betting range doesn't make sense because we don't control the order in which we get dealt hands. You can keep getting dealt hands in Qxo Qxs Jxo Jxs Kxo Kxo Axo Axs when villain opens but does that mean you should 3bet him with Q4o when we already 3bet him 4 times in a row? If you haven't 3 bet the same villain for whatever reason in a while and get dealt 72o and think it's +EV to 3 bet, why should you fold it?

You are right, but I ever heard that you must have a standard range against a villian to 3bet.
