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

Oh btw,

what dos George Lucas say to you stealing the chewbacca sound for Balugawhale in the intro

LOL. Rusty (our coaching ninja/guy who does a ton of the video production now, also someone who studied Marine Biology) asked me when he produced this vid "what kind of whale is that supposed to be? It sounds more like a Chewbacca."

great stuff, someone said this was good and I almost skipped it when I saw it was 25NL but decided to give it a chance. Very glad I did and it's definitely a series I'll continue to follow. The format is great because there are so many things to think about in certain spots and we get to see the gap between a winning small stakes player and the guy who has taken the step that so many of us are trying to but haven't gotten there yet. A lot of times I would agree with Steve as it went along and then Baluga would say something and it was cool because I wouldn't have thought of it that way. Or I would disagree with Steve and then Baluga would agree too It's great to see how I can work on my play in "standard" spots in which I may be missing a bit of value or paying off too much against the wrong guys. Can't wait for the next one

there's one thing i don't understand at all.
Pretty early steve says that by raising bigger OOP the smaller your positional disadvantage is.
Isn't this somewhat contradictory, because we all know that you make bigger mistakes OOP. And the bigger the pot is the bigger your mistakes are. Am I right here?
How can you explain this?
If I'm right than calling is theoretically also better than 3betting when defending your blinds from the perspective of your positional disadvantage????

The video stops and goes back to the beginging at about the 8:30 mark.

It's not the video, it's that your connection somehow got reset while streaming the video. Reload and try watching again. We're looking into why this has been happening more recently but don't know yet; for now the best answer is to download the downloadable versions using a download manager like http://www.freedownloadmanager.org

the lower the stack to pot ratio, the shallower the stacks play, meaning the less correct it will be for your opponents to try and hit flops since we cut their implied odds. also since the pot is bigger and we have less behind, our decisions become easier as we can commit lighter.

glad you liked it sir

and yeah, i definitely felt like a noob while making this vid, but afterwards my brain just started crankin and all the stuff we had talked about in our coaching sorta started to flood back to me, and i think the later ones are even more thought provoking.

Don't normally post comments, but this was outstanding - probs the most useful uNL vid Ive ever seen.

I'm glad you guys have enjoyed this video. It only gets better.

A quick note-- just because the limits start low, or because episodes 4 and 5 will be full ring, doesnt mean that the concepts won't apply to your game regardless of what limit or game type you play (whether HU, 6max, or FR). Relearning FR helps my 6max game in ways. Practicing 6max helps my FR game. etc. etc.

This video is awesome, I really liked the way you talked and explained tought this video

Looking for this serie for sure

Thanks to you 2

Very interessting

Fantastic stuff. You WILL beat NL25 after watching this.

When you say you dont want to raise stuff like A8off cuz they arent gonna go anyway when raised, what about hand like AT-AQ off, doesnt the same logic applies? Or is it ok because of the times they call with dominated hands?

the lower the stack to pot ratio, the shallower the stacks play, meaning the less correct it will be for your opponents to try and hit flops since we cut their implied odds. also since the pot is bigger and we have less behind, our decisions become easier as we can commit lighter.

so basically your argument outweighs the argument that you make more mistakes OOP and that with a bigger pot your mistakes become more severe?
I'm so interested in that, because it really helps me to decide when to 3bet or just to call OOP; ...or what is theoretically better...
