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

Great vid. V. impressed by DogIsHead.

I decided to watch this based on the recommendation by Joe. Pretty good video. Unlike a lot of the posters here, the 44 analysis was fairly standard. Polarizing the reraising range is pretty standard IMO and I am NOT a great player by any means... However, I did start with .50/1.00 NL 6max (I used to be a FR player playing up to 5-10NL level and then converted to 6 max) and now play a lot of 2-4NL 6 max. However, at the 2-4nl level, I am getting pwned. After tens of thousands of hands, I am barely profitable. My BB/100 is a disgraceful .58BB/100.

I was more impressed with the thought in the hand where he has QT and the concept of checking behind on the flop instead of cbetting/calling a shove. Personally though, I am still on the same boat as Joe where I feel like QTs is a harder hand to play than a hand like T9s because if you hit, it's still very likely that you are dominated because it hits the opponent's range (esp a TAG) so hard and if it does, more often than not, you're dominated...

Generally though, these vids seem a little too amateurish. Are late night coaching sessions meant to be for amateur+ or is it mainly because of the lower stakes?

Late Night Coaching was meant to be a above beginner, but not advanced, add the "why?" to a lot of hands, add the questions a lot of SS players are afraid to ask, showcase our awesome team, and have some fun while doing it.

From my experience you will get as many folds with a 29/30 bet as you get with a 33 reraise. The reason for 3B kinda small is that you still gonna have pretty much the same fold equity, the most common scenario is 5B shove or fold. I very seldom see call in this spot. So by 3B 29/30 we acomplish 2 things. We can bluff cheaper so that we can fold with out feeling commited and when we 3B for value we give or opponent the feeling that he has fold equity on a 4B bluff. Am I thinking in the wrong way here? I play 0.5/1 its maybe diffrent at higher stakes.

You are not thinking that off. What is important, and this is more important that a RR size is that the best line w/T9s is calling.

Isnt calling a 3bet oop with SCs and playing fit fold a leak? Doesnt it mean we fold to a cbet too often?
