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

Though the fish has a weaker Stacksize, I like here for sure the isosqz b/c he is not the initial openraiser -> If the opener would fold and the 40BB-Fish would just jam it, it would not suck b/c he would have 3betted often his toprange pre himself and so it would be often a "gamblejam" with a range against which your AJo perform very good.

But what would be preflop your line if the 40BB-Fish would have benn the opener and the coldcaller would be a TAG? -> Overcall?

Still easy valuesqueeze. The TAG is never strong or he'd have 3b the fish and AJ is definitely value3bettable against this guy.

like your idea here - it would be very interesting on the turn when the opener would have checked back and the fish would stab the turn.
B/c of your gained read that the fish has often air in his checkingrange n the flop, and mostly only madehands when he is donking,
would you consider a potential remove vs. a turnstab of the fish?

If not,
would it be maybe better to Semibluffdonk the flop if you would have the read that the fish would often stab the turn, when the Flop goes ch/ch?

Please mention table, hand, etc, and try to leave the timestamp at the exact time of the thing you're talking about, or even better, at the exact start of the hand you're talking about. I spend more time searching for the hands people are talking about than I spend making the videos. This goes to everyone, and I'll actually mention it in an upcoming DC short. It really makes my life a lot easier.

With the range you give him in Stove, something like 77-55 is better than KJo. Wouldn't it be better to flat KJ types than set mine? And 44 is pretty close to the same value.
Also, since the guy's shoving so wide, wouldn't be more likely he shoves his premiums as well rather than less?

Sure, if I know he's gonna shove I'll 3bet small pairs, but I don't. Small pairs play horrible postflop OOP in 3b pots. KJo plays great.

Sorry, what I meant was not to include 77-55 into the 3bet range, but rather to move KJo into the flatting range with them, since they are similar in eq v his range.

KJo plays great in 3bet pots, just like AK. They're big card hands. Vs a 90 vpip I'm gonna 3bet them both for value. Flatting KJo pre would be a huge mistake imo.

Oh ok, I will try to improve here in the future, for sure - this I can promise (would be probably as producer also annoyed when I at first have to search for hands to which I wanna answer 100 hours -)^^

The Hand I was asking about has started at min. 44.40 and was on table 2 (Top right) - you had A2s.

Ah... Would depend on timing/size/turncard. If I felt he was bluffing I'd definitely shove. Probably call with a better kicker or any pair.

Loving this series, your attitude to running bad in this episode was fantastic, seriously need to get to that point myself instead of getting upset!
Very refreshing video and excellent explanations all the way through. Good job!

grindcore. First of all, thanks for doing the series. I love your vids overall, but there is a lot of dead time where you aren't saying anything. Have you ever considered getting a co-host on these? I think it might help if you had someone with you who does nothing but ask questions. It would be important that they provide absolutely no analysis ever to make sure none of your thoughts are drowned out.
Apologies if this has already been talked about.

I'm pretty sure more people would object to this than there are people really wanting it. And I'm already distracted enough while I'm talking about hands as evident from all the silly preflop folds etc, so having someone pick my brains on top of that would severely deteriorate my play. This would also violate FTPs policy of 1 player per hand and I don't wanna risk having my account locked. But just count the amount of spots I get in per hour, then compare to any other video. Sure there are some dead stretches here and there but as a result of my style I get in way more interesting spots than the average video.

My spew happens to pay my rent. Instead of posting an useless comment like that, ask about particular hands with timestamps. I'll gladly discuss them with you.

Potentially stupid question, but what does "HAG" mean in your notes?

Hyper aggressive, it's somewhat commonly used I think. I sometimes also use LASP which is loose/spazzive, which I made up myself. It's for 40/5 type fish that are very aggro post flop.

Great video, my fav of the series so far.
I liked how you dont feel the need to try to comment on everything happening.
You brought up some very usefull stuff and your dynamic with fish was fairly epic.ty

o (open folding is neutral EV so checking is always +EV in any spot)..

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it doesnt make sense to me. How is checking always +EV? I can imagine spots where its cant be +EV. If ive got 23o on 44443 board for example. Wouldnt the EV of a check just be the value of your hand against their range if it checked down? Like if I only ever play aces, when I check its going to be +EV, if I play 100% of my hands while they play a tighter range, then it should be -EV, since I will lose more than I win if the only action I take is checking.
