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

Time Link to 00:38:43

I'm learning NL and came to this video series first following a recommendation in the first episode of the Bonzai Tree series.

This FtGU Episode Two really helped me to get a basic idea of hands to play and hands to avoid. However, I struggled to get a clear set of hands from the sections explaining what to do facing a raise (from about 33:00, through to the linked section).

Given that there's a fair amount of hand-waving here (i.e. the hands to play depend on many factors) and at my stage of the game, I'm making much bigger mistakes postflop than pre, I suppose it doesn't really matter but thought I'd comment for the record.

On the plus side, the confusion prompted me to put a lot more effort into choosing a default range than I would have done had the info been easier to glean from the video. So maybe I should just say: good job!

If you want to 3bet, but there's a coldcaller (or coldcallers) between you and the original raiser, should you add the calling amount to what you wanted to raise, or should you make it bigger than that?

we should not be allowed to watch other NL videos before this series imo.

Yeah this and +EVOLUTION of a poker player... should have to be watched to unlock the other series.

glad to see people are still getting a lot out of this series. just goes to show that even as games get tougher and the dynamics change, sound fundamentals are still the main key to success.

For sure. Thanks again. Excellent work from you guys.

Um, Tuba... May I ask,

I'm just looking again at your thoughts on opening in the BB with limpers.

What is your opinion about opening any Axs in the BB when there are limpers (high likelyhood of being OOP multiway)

Do you think it's too spewy because you'll have to fold too many flops, and flopping an Ace is going to be a gross prospect multiway with A4s...but flopping a flush-draw is going to have better implied odds in the nano-stakes where I play because so many bad players will stack off with just top pair ignoring the fact that I'm shovelling money in on the turned flush...

Can you elaborate a bit on implied odds that you talk about on your last or second to last slide I should say. I hear it thrown around a lot and have some understanding of it but not quite complete. Im not sure if there's an easy or good answer for that because I think it entails a lot, but any clarification would help.

Would 3 betting a little over pot in the blinds, or early position what we are going for?

implied odds = future value. how much money you stand to win on future streets, such as if you flop your set or turn your flush or strait. it is purely theoretical, like fold equity, and can only be estimated. however, you can put a maximum on implied odds, it is the whole stack.
yes think 3betting a lil over pot OOP is exactly what we're going for.

HEy

this video is made for 6people-tables?

Can i also use the Hand-ranges unraised, facing a raise calling ranges and so on also on a table with 9 people?

Or is it mathematicly wrong then?

Nope. Don't.

There is discussion of those starting ranges in beginner full ring videos.

Try this:

I haven't watched this series as Full Ring makes me want to die horribly... but I'm pretty sure this is the place to start.

thank you :-)

could you also give me the link to all other episodes?

I only saw 2 eps... the link to the second is on the page of the first...
