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

Right, just the way it sounds in the video is like you undervalue blind steal in general. If I understand you correctly, you consider blind steal as a side effect or bonus to the hands postflop equity and your skill edge. Rather than seeing the steal as the primary goal and postflop equity, such as suit or high card value, as a back up plan.

I think a lot of where Andrew is coming from here is this: when you win the blinds, you have nothing to think about, therefore lets think about what types of things will happen when we DO have to make a decision on the flop. so just always be thinking about which types of hands play best vs other players and you can still maintain a high steal % while making sure you postflop value if called.

nooo baluga nooooooooo why cant u let ppl keep 3betting playable hands IP instead of calling

Great video guys. I've learned a huge amount from just the first two episodes of this series.

i would really like to see this series in ipod form even though it's a four table video. its pretty much all conversation and the video is not needed to still gain a lot from it.

I really think DC should increase their rate to 200$/month and stop taking any more clients, because of series like this one or prof plotkin

Listening to the reasons for what to play, when and against what type of opponent was very, very informative. My only problem with the video (and this is minor) is Tuba's bedside manner. He constantly interrupts people before they finish making their point, and blurts out what he wants to add. When he restrains himself from interrupting he has a very dismissive sounding "yeah" which seems more than just a tad rude.

Bare in mind that I only mentioned what I did as something minor and with the intention of adding to what is a very high quality and excellent piece of work.

Fwiw, tuba did calm down some, toward the end of the video....

What makes A6s better for a 3bet pot than 98o?

What makes A6s better for a 3bet pot than 98o?

well for starters, think about how likely you are to win the pot (at showdown) when you have A6s vs 98o against some different 3-bet calling ranges. then consider the fact that with A high flushes we can out flush people. THEN consider the fact that when we have Axs we reduce the number of AK/AA combos by about 25% (rough estimate, could be wrong on this so watch prof. plotkin!) and we also have much better equity the times we do see the flop since flopping an A will give us the best hand against all his pairs.

i just woke up like 4 minutes ago so if thats not clear let me know and i apologize in advance

since flopping an A will give us the best hand against all his pairs.

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Wow, this series is great. This episode blows the first one out of the water and I thought the first episode was really good!

honestly the best poker video iv ever watched, so thnx very much.

but i just dont understand why your saying 79s/78s is a definate raise from MP. i never raise those hands from MP, and i play a TAG style, i thought those hands where loose opens for LAGs. dont understand why they are definate opens, in my oppinion they are marginal opens and its up to the player/maybe the table dynamics?..

Hey Entity. Glad you made that point. I watched the video once and then listened, without watching, twice. Baluga and Tuba discussed so many points in great detail that watching the video was almost moot.

Great work and I'm so glad I joined the club...

Thanks guys,

So i read teh two plus two thread with baluga and chaos. Can someone tell me if I'm understanding this correctly. I know that this is villain dependent, but as far as your 25/20 villan goes:

3bet pots: KQo plays well because if called and you flop top pair, the only hand that dominates you is AQ because AK, AA, KK, and QQ would have 4bet pf: also worse hand are still in the pot. Sc’s are not good in 3bet pot because the SPR is too low to have FE.

QUESTION: Baluga said: "btw- all of that applies more to 3betting OOP than 3betting IP, though it does apply generally to 3bet situations."
What are some differences between playing PREFLOP 3bet pots IP and OOP?
