Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by danzasmack (Micro/Small Stakes)

Long video imo. Some great hands in here though. I can't believe people folded to some of these bets.

Haven't watched it yet, but the good old "bluff with bottom of your range" worked for once? ;-)

No, just some spots where I fire twice when the turn cards hits every peeling range...and villain folds.

I love those moments.

Maybe your best vid yet. Thanks for the introduction into the Prisoner's Dilemma. Sent me scurrying off to the Wikipedia. I don't understand it, but I see a little of what you're saying. (I doubt it, but it makes me feel better.)

Gonna take a couple more times to get everything out of it. Packed full.

Thanks. Lots of bang for buck.

good video.

I liked your term "poker rant", keep that in.

I enjoy your rantings the most. You sure jammed a lot of info into this vid.
I will revisit it, as its difficult to absorb it all in once thru.

I have a question. At 14 min mark BB called a raise by UTG + 1 and flop came J32. And you commented that BB should c/r with A2o.

I can understand c/r A2o here, as you should be ahead and often have villain reversed dominated. But would you do it with K2 or weaker 2s?

danzasmack,
in this video you commented that many players do ok at $0.50/1 and $1/2 6 max but can't beat $2/4. It so happens I am one of those players. What do you think is the reason for this, is the average player at $2/4 that much better than the average player at $1/2, or are there other reasons?

Hey Chuck, this is an excellent series and a great follow up to The Price is Right. Seeing the transition from micro to small stakes has been very useful and informative.

I have two very minor requests:

1) Please consider turning off your Tournament notifications (the big blue things that periodically pop into the top of the table), at least for the video. I find them a little distracting.

2) In episode three I really felt you were speaking quickly - like to the point that I couldn't always understand/follow you. It wasn't as much of a problem in this episode, but still a little bit. It's just that when your speech picks up you sometimes start to mutter. Anyway, it's just that I don't really want to miss anything, whether it be informative or humorous.

Anyway, those are my only complaints. I know they're small, but that's because you make really good videos.

Chuck,

In minute 53 you are faced with a 15:1 call with 3 outs to the ace on the flop. You comment that you need 18:1 here, but I'm thinking you only need 15:1 here. I think this is an easy call, can you comment?

Sorry, my comment above is for Episode 3, not 4. My bad.

Hey Danza,

After lengthy discussions on episode 3, I find that nothing is bugging me in this one, that is to say, I didn't see plays that looked 'spewy' to me. Now, that may be because I actually spent so much time on ep3, and sort of have absorbed some of those plays. Or it could be that you didn't get in spots as marginal as in ep3. I mean, I didn't see you steal with 24s in SB or raise UTG with J9o. Hell, you even mucked Q9o in this one! (You did raise QTo though, but then again, why not. I raise QTs there, so it's not something that shocks me, like seeing J9o. Of course I know it depends on the table, but it's not something that would occur to me after sitting at a table for 30minutes: hey J9o UTG, let's raise it! I mindlessly muck it. And I sortta understand now that mucking J9o mindlessly is not good poker.).

I hear you saying you crushed these stakes, which is nice. I wonder, what do you think is an achievable WR at 2/4 or 3/6 for a player like you, and what would it be for a less aggro player, say a 26/18/2.5. (If this can be answered at all).

Thanks for a good vid!

Chuck: are you a wise guy?

I have a question. At 14 min mark BB called a raise by UTG + 1 and flop came J32. And you commented that BB should c/r with A2o.

I can understand c/r A2o here, as you should be ahead and often have villain reversed dominated. But would you do it with K2 or weaker 2s?

We'd fold them all preflop but I think if you do defend a hand with a 2 in it you should be c/r'ing this flop and betting for value the whole way.
