This thread discusses the Content article: 2/4 6 max - DeathDonkey - 11/21/07
Hi everyone,
I want to admit to a flub in this video right off the bat. Midway through I get in a spot where I do an out-counting / odds estimation. As you\'ll see my intuition for the correct play was correct, and a few minutes later I go through the mathematical calculation to be certain (I was getting 5:1 pot odds with 6 outs and needed ~7:1). The flub is in my conclusion, I transpose the pot odds with the equity calculation and wind up saying I made a mistake because I was getting 7:1 to call with 5:1 outs. So in the end my initial intuition / estimation was right, my math was right, my screwed up conclusion was wrong. Didn\'t want to confuse anyone and I realized later I had messed this up but hopefully its a useful exercise anyway.
Any thoughts about this play or anything else in the video are welcome...

I think I prefer these one table videos because the discussion on hands get a lttle bit deeper.
One leak I have discovered from watching the videos is that I\'m playing too blind aggresive on the turn (auto bet many spots). I\'ve noticed that you pro\'s often (in a relative sense) check behind IP or c/c OOP. For instance the hand where we had T
5 in the SB and villain had two black K\'s in the BB. Board was AcTc4c Th and you argue villain should have checked behind. I do understand the logic (I think). But an hour ago I would have auto fired that turn if I was villain. I blame it some on the fact I\'ve mostly played in LP games. But in the 1/2 6max where I currently play I believe my turn play has cost me a lot.
The turn 3-bet with Q
7 also reminded me that I have much to learn. For a limit nit that was pure art :cheer:!

I enjoyed the video.
And I\'d like to reiterate that the best way watch these, in my opinion, is to take the sound off, pause the video on every decision point and scribble down to a text document what your decision would be and why. I think it\'s important to actually write them down so that you can go through your actual decisions when you listen to the audio. I think it\'s easy to gloss over the decisions and just think that \"oh, that\'s what I probably would have done too\".
It\'s a fun feeling when you go through similar reasonings through some hand and deduce the hand range of the villain similarly as the author. I had this with the AA hand where villain\'s TT seemed the only logical possibility at the time, though folding to the check-raise didn\'t seem like an option in that big a pot against relatively unknown.
Great thing about this approach is that when you face a difficult decision (sounds off and the video paused) and you aren\'t quite sure what to do and you think to yourself: \"what would DeathDonkey/Joe Tall/Entity do here?\", you realize that that\'s just what you can do in the next round of watching! :-)
This approach takes some time, but I seriously think it\'s the best way.
