Great video but I can't help thinking that the whole series is based on result oriented thinking. Maybe it's because the moves are so unconventional :s

Well thats a reasonable conclusion, given that pretty much every hand we show is us owning somebody. Obviously we mostly picked hands where things went well, but as you'll see later on (when we show our stats and graphs) we actually did quite well overall. I think we might even show some "bloopers" where we make a play and run into the nuts, but that'll be in one of the last videos.



this is a good idea to see what mistakes were made and learn from them... please do make a video of this...

UW is the best video series online. It crushes most other videos I've seen on most other sites. That's saying something.

So apparently I like to call pot-sized river checkraises with one pair when the flush hits for no apparent reason...oh wait its fslex, she doesn't know who i am, i know who she is, i know she can be bluffing a lot against a random 1/2 NL player, i call Wink

hence our point that you should probably not be bluffing too many rivers ;-)

meh, i think the main problem is that you're fslexcduck, and every 2p2 1/2 reg knows who you are and wants to be the guy that made the hero call on a high stakes pro. also fwiw the way our hand played out, you weren't really repping anything that i could think of; with the pot-sized river raise i couldnt really put you on anything that you would be raising for value since it looked like i had a pretty weak holding.

I agree: something disappointing. Like, you know, awesome owning valuetown, dude.

There are nuggets in here, and I guess it may turn out to be worth the money, but finding them requires panning through a whole lot of verbal gravel.

Good stuff and I really appreciate that there is something new styles and ideas.

But I think too some of those tricky plays are just (stupid?) tricky plays which can't work in real or at least you gotta be very, very good hand reader.

I don't personally like minraises, though I know there is some points where it's a great move. But I can't see any idea why do you make miniraise in situation like this:

(Starts on video at time 1:00:00)You are on button with QJs. CO opens to 7, you call and flop comes Q Club 9 Club 4 Spade . CO cbets 10 and you almost minraise here to 25. Why on earth? Just like you said he gets great odds to almost all of his range. I think here is way too many dangerous cards on turn, so I can't see the point why do just make the pot bigger but don't get almost any idea what does he has. Okay, maybe because this hand is on the video the turn brings a blanco (3 :heart), but what would you do if it was a third club, jack, king, ace, eight or ten and he even bets like a 3/4 pots or makes big check-raise?

...and yeah, sorry for my english.

I've only slowrolled somebody seriously once. It was a shortstacker allin preflop and I had AA. He sucked out on me. I decided karma wasn't a fan of slowrolling.

That being said, I fully encourage slowrolling when playing chinese poker with your friends, or playing blackjack at a stupid casino where they won't let you play your hand face up.

Great, great series. I've been playing poker for three years and this series makes me diverge from standard ABC poker and get a bit more creative/spewy Smile

One question; why is the 77 a call preflop and the 33 hand a muck when we are not in a multiway pot?

Poker looks so easy, when everything you pull works out Wink

In the last hand, you raise JTo in the CO, habitual 3-bettor calls, AT8 flop. 2 questions:
1) You seemed like 100% sure he can't have an A here. He actually called with QJs. Isn't it quite possible, that he calls with a hand like Axs here as well?
2) Why open JTo in CO with OTB being such a pain in the butt? I usually tighten up in those situations and just fold JTo. Wrong?

Good series, looking forward to next week.



I was wondering the exaxt same thing, think he could easily flat stuff like axs because he doesn't want to face a 4b. I mean he flatcalled QJs here so in this hand he wasn't planning on 3bing light. Also on the river lot of stuff comes in so the call is pretty close instead of a snapcall imo.
Other then that this is a great series Smile
