We just took a note on villain that he didnt play his draws fast. You didnt even check your note or think twice about getting this in. Just curious if your read was correct, say you had seen overtime villain played draws passively, how would you continue?



I'm curious to hear what Grindcore has to say but IMO we can't just call that raise since it is pot committing. We have more than 50% equity against anything but sets and even then we have around 41% equity I think. So we are basically never folding an OESD + FD vs this raise and the raise is so large that we should just stick it in. Just my 2 cents

Is your red line really positive for this session?

I would really like to see a video where put more focus into using the stats/reads (fold to cbet, fold to turn cbet, cbet flop, cbet turn, cbet river, river aggression etc.) to determine the best way to exploit your opponent, just like you describe in the first video. When you are playing readless with no previous hands logged on your opponents, you dont really show this.

Anything between 1 and 10, usually 5-7


Since you play on Ipoker, I'm curious to hear how you take your notes. Ipoker steals my mouse focus all the time which makes note taking when multi tabling quite difficult for me. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

I liked the video a lot by the way. Not only do you have good knowledge of the game, you also really put effort in making the video as good as it could be. You were playing focused, you explained your thoughts well and you were paying a lot of attention to the action around you.

It's a push/fold spot because a call is pot committing.

Board: Tc 9d 2c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 42.195% 42.19% 00.00% 4595 0.00 { QcJc }
Hand 1: 57.805% 57.81% 00.00% 6295 0.00 { TT-99, 22, T9s }

We can't fold. So it's a push. Him playing draws passively is actually good for us here, because we have more equity vs top set than vs a NFD.

Yes it's annoying. You can practice timing with notetaking, or just click the note field again if you lose focus. Notetaking is pain when playing 10 tables, but I mostly play ~6 and then it's no problem for me.

The point of video 1 was that you should adjust to your opponents. I believe I did quite some of tht in this video. It's also a matter of getting into spots where you can use them. It's the thing my game is based on. There'll be more in any future video of me playing. I didn't use those specific stats all that much in this video, but that's just some sort of variance.

Good idea. But there is a but. The Sample size will be too small. You will need something like 5K hands before you can see a tendency.

Good idea, Grindcore should make so many vids that we will have this sample. Poke Tongue

Loved your first video, it led to something interesting in me. Hopefully, this one will awake the real poker motivation again in me. I'll watch it tomorrow after training, thanks in advance Smile

You should play 50 VPIP at 10/20 imo.
