You don't even know the half of it!

TWO Scuba vids?!?!! craziness ITwebsite

Always nice to see another 10NL video. Thanks Stephen!

great video, thanks tubasteve!

I bluffed THE tuba off Q9 on a T8x board with J9 in a live 50nl game once.

True story.

I think not raising full stack all-in to opponents 0.60 river bet, actually might have scared opponent to think we're value betting with a really strong hand.
If we instead had shoved the full stack, it might look like we're trying to steal the pot (even though we're laying great odds for opp. to call).

My second choice would have been the min-raise.

Hey guys,

In this spot if we were up against a TAG reg is it not true that he's almost never going to be calling with worse and probably 4betting most of his better hands? (similar to 3betting TT & JJ) Making a flat here the best play? Also does the fact that the hand is suited make it more of a flat rather than a 3bet? Its a situation I always used to 3bet in, but now find myself flatting a lot OOP. Is this a leak?

Good point you talked about on using leverage, very helpful to hear it explained that way. Would be nice to hear this topic brought up more in the future in different situations.
...also, any advice on previous vids that cover this in more detail.

I liked the basic level of this video, not many NL10 videos around and it's what I currently play as well. It's like teaching from the basics and for me worked as a checklist what I did right and wrong, could hear myself thinking what I would do in this situation and NL25 coaching videos such as micro NL grinder is a bit too advanced yet, this covers the middleground in between theoretical videos and NL25.

Collinraise was also pleasant to listen to, would be nice to hear more of him and to see steve play more with him at these stakes.

The quality of the audio was very good as well, and for the people being coached in the microstakes videos at least, that's pretty rare.

When you say that the optimal 4-bet size in this situation is 25% of the stack size are you referring to the starting stack size (this is what is seems like you are saying) or do you mean 25-28% of the current stake size (after the opponent has 3-bet?)

When you say that he is going to shove. Are you mean that he is going to shove for the players last marks or should we just put all our marks in the pot?

Against a tighter TAG player I flat this had a lot opp also. In the situation in the video I think the 3 bet is good just due to how wide the UTG player range is and that he is probably not taking position into account. He most likely has the same or close to the same range UTG and in the CO or BU. I don't know if it's a leak to flat here against a tag a lot would like to hear tuba's take on it because if it is a leak I have it too.

I really believe that it should be mentioned what a poor table selection hero did. On the two tables there´s a short stack on his immediate left, and that´s like the number one thing you don´t want to have.

This episode is so sick. It's just the information I've been looking for. Thanks Steve.
