Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by DeathDonkey (Mid Stakes)

I've been looking forward to this all week! With respect to the prize/punishment, I think Krantz and the pie police should make a reappearance. Bad Swiss accents and all.

Live play next time for me all. I think they come out a bit better.

bet/3bet this river! I'm not sure if villain will bet a 5(what would you call?) or pay off your c/r with a 7(tho that will be impossible to tell)

4:16 You fold A9o in CO to a HJ limp. I would always raise this. What was your thinking here?

I'm bad at multi-tabling, raise plz

Awesome video guys looking forward to next week. Although this wasn't live I thought you played great 4 tabling still taking into account the game dynamics which is something I can't always do when multi tabling.

With that said a couple questions on some of the hands.

AJo: 3:30 On the 6d5h5dQd I think we are in a no win spot where we either give too many free cards or get value owned if we're behind on the river. I still think value chk is correct but if we value chk the turn and the riv is the Jd, Ad would that be an easy fold/easy call? Would you fold agianst a bet on the riv when you value chk the turn on any non diamonds?

J9o: 48:00 when you value bet the K96fd7fd6 board are your intentions to b/f the river?

T9s: 51:48 as the SB 3bet vs CO PFR on a JT4Afd board whats your plan on the turn when raised? Whats your plan on the river when you are called on the turn?

QJs: 53:30 As the BTN PFR v the BB on a A74Kfd how frequnetly do you feel you should be betting the turn? I normally take the free card on such a bad board with a clean 4 outer but could that be considered a leak when its done close to 100% in simiar spots/boards?

Q9o: 55:00 When you chk/3bet the flop on a 933fd board whats your plan for turn/rivers if villan raises? For example how would you react to a turn raise when an A, K, J, or a 3rd diamond falls?

KTs: 56:00 When you capped PF 3 ways and flop Qh9h7h and folded getting 14:1 is that fine even though we have 3 clean outs and possibly some dirty outs? As I noramlly don't cap this light PF I just wanted to clarify that it was ok to bloat the pot PF and fold at times due to the strength the villans are showing.

99: 59:00 I prefer donking out due to the pot being 3 ways making it more likely to check through especially with the random SB who decided cold call throughout the hand making the BTN a bit suspicious. With that said its kind of a bad argument considering cr would be amazing espeically if turn raiser had a real hand. Also was your plan on a riv 9 to cr as well as mentioned in the video?

Villain decides to bet again with KT on 6QQ9 and you call again with A8 because you expect him to.

Does this actually make checking the turn a good play for villain if he knows he is up against a capable opponent who will probably fold a T, J, K on the river and play perfectly against his hand? Or is he really betting KT for value against hands like JT, T8, etc.?

And whats a good play for villain on the river, how often would you bluff the river if he checked behind the turn, the river bricked (like an offsuit 3) and you got a hand like T7? Which would be the worst hand you would valuebet if he checked behind the turn?

AJo 3:30 - I'd maybe fold a 9 like I said in the vid. Other than that I think folding all diamonds is ok. Calling the J is close TBH but I'd probably fold.

J9o 48:00 - bet/fold for sure

T9s 51:48 - math problem - 7.5 : 1 and I've got about 5 outs I think you can fold there a lot. I think you can c/f river when called.

QJs 53:30 - standard for me is to take a free card there but I had a 'read' that he wouldn't be waiting for the turn with an ace so I was betting to fold out a 7 and just try and take the pot down there. Standard when peeled there though is to check/back. When he checked the river with the A8 I told myself my read was 1/2 on.

Q9o 55:00 - IME these guys aren't going to fight back vs. me in that spot when I rep so much strength. Vs. some trickier/laggier players who don't stfu when i c/3-bet the flop i'm in a much more awkward spot post flop but as is if I face more aggro I'm going to do some fast math on discounted outs and call or fold, most likely with intentions of not showing down.

KTs 56:00 - Interesting way of putting it and looking @ the math getting 14:1 3 outs is going to be super close. That being said it was bet/call and I chose to fold - the guy who donked, I was giving a bit stronger range than normal so 3 outs is pretty much what I capped it @. If you think you have a king sometimes or can take the pot away def peel there.

99 59:00 - not sure I get your comments here, why would c/r'ing the turn be so good? And yeah I'd c/r a river 9.

On the KT hand - betting for value vs. me seems kinda bad because I shouldn't be peeling the flop with T8 basically ever unless I plan on raising and trying to take the pot away late. On a QQ9 flop his play is close but the flop is QQ6. I'm peeling with weak made hands (which beat Khi), calling with monsters, and of course some ace hi's.

Vs. a loose flop peeler Khi is really close because he will want to 3 barrel me off of the same hand a lot, but he can't get me off Ahi. I think checking there should be fine as I'm only really going to VB.

I think if I did peel the flop with a hand like 78dd i would have to raise this turn fwiw. I think Khi will bet this turn and c/c @ too hi of a frequency so I wouldn't bet as a bluff very often on a brick river.

I'd bet 22 if he checked the turn.

99: I meant that I'd prefer donking out the river but a river cr would be amazing if villan did have overpair/set type hands like he has represented so far.

Thanks for all the help really looking forward to this series.

Upper right table with A9o - is there a reason you didn't iso-raise the MP limper?

Time Link to 00:07:14

KK on upper left - villain had AJo.

Please ignore my earlier question about the A9o hand - I see it was answered earlier in the thread but didn't notice while watching/commenting last night.

A quick comment on the format - I found the non-coninuous video playback a little bit disorienting at times. I understand it can sometimes be necessary to keep the commentary time reasonable, but I think it hinders the viewer's ability to get into the game flow and develop reads on the villains. So I'm fine with it for the most part, but it's definitely not my preference.

Lastly, you seem aware of this, but your mucked cards are showing up in weird spots. As this is one of the very few things I know how to do in HEM let me know if you want to change it. I'd be happy to help.
