I think you should have paid more attentiion to dogg11 whom called every 3-bet you made? and the floated the flop bet 1/2pot when you checked on turn on several occations, and in the hand when you had A5 vs his QT on T8x8 he elected to check back the turn. I think you should 2-ball or 3-ball or dont ball vs him otherwise youre gonna loose 3-4mediumish pots by c-betting and then giving up everytime which makes up for a 1buyin. Also think you should not 3-bet him so much since he calls so many 3-bets and then floats, with hands that doesnt play well OOP like A5s.

very good video, very good content!

I would love to see a video of you sweating a 1/2 player, since I'm struggling a bit there.

Prolly you can make a video review of yourself, which would be less fast and more in depth commentary?

awesome vid, awesome format/contenet. Lower stakes(like 1/2 or 0.5/1) would be cool though, but hey,

good stuff.

This is really good stuff.But I think 4 tables would be easier for you to comment and for us to follow.Anyway good work!

I'm going to get 3bet every hand, sweet!

Nice Vid. Thanks a lot for this!

Am I the only who has some trouble with the sound though? For me it's like changing from rather silent to ok to fairly loud continously.

great video dani, lots of interesting spots and i thought you did very well explaining your thought process. i love live sessions as i think you learn a lot more about thinking on your feet and not being too results oriented like a lot of hand history review videos are.

looking forward to your next video and of course the new episode of 2m2mm next week !!

very good vid. a few times during the vid you make some "non standard" 3bet sizes. For example, you 3bet 55 to 140 ip and you squeeze 120 to 360 in another spot. Could you talk a little bit about why you would make the smaller sizes and when is good/bad to do so.

please dont get away from sweat videos, i dont know why you think your friend who plays 1/2 would get into more interesting spots, i think with 6 tables your going to usually have more than enough to talk about, please continue the sweat videos, this was a good one

nice video - funny to see ingram get stacked immediately lol. one suggestion, I would set at a preferred seat at all tables, its hard to follow six tables when youre at a diff spot on all tables

The sound of this video is very annoying.

1st AA hand - JoeIngram1 is Chicago Joey right? The guy who plays millions of NL100 hands every month?

yes

His attention seeking knows no bounds, getting in on Ansky videos now

awesome !!!

I think you should continue doing videos when you play 5/10 10/20. Really interesting to see how you deal with situations. Other people can take care of the lower stake vids

Great vid, really liked the format. Keep them comming!

nice video - funny to see ingram get stacked immediately lol.

Started the video, first hand and I'm like "wtf, chicago joey?". One of his awesome tilt-spew-whatever shots at high stakes, really made my day..

Great video btw, really nice content.

4 tables are definitely better than 6. Audio quality is pretty bad - especially in the beginning. Glad Krantz wasn't bothering this time around. Pretty good video.

24 tabler here so I found the action easy to follow and enjoyed the rapid fire commentary. Kept me alert. Good content too.

sick vid, enjoyed the content and the pace. the sound quality is kind of poor though.

make more MSNL-HSNL live 6max vids please.

this. non-sweat videos are terrible. after my subscriptions run out, if a site primarily makes videos of prerecorded play where they turn 50 minute videos into 5 part series where they barely cover 10 minutes of a play a video, i will not be renewing that sites subscription.

i think going over interesting hands for a whole video is terrible also, you can easily add that to the end of a sweat video and go over hands that were tough or do it at the beginning.

Reason behind checking back 88 on this flop? This would seem like a pretty clear cbet I think, or if checking I would think we would be looking to c/f I guess, but this is a pretty dry flop, honestly our hand doesn't have a ton of showdown value so why not just cbet here?

Awesome video overall though, love the way you explain your thought process, and the way you approach the game. Esp the way you explain your actions in context of reads with players, ie balugawhale/kingofcards. A couple HU vids would be sweet!!!

Thank you for owning me first hand lol, the one random time I decide to play a little 10/20 and get out of line

Do you still use this hand first if I bink the river though??

really liked this one.
you should def keep this format for some more vids. hh reviews later imo

@ChicagoJoey: Do you like your betsizing on the turn? You're setting yourself up for a spot where you need about 9 outs to call if he shoves, I don't think that's a great play with the OESD on that board.

More 6-tabling plz!

At the end of the video you 3b someone's minraise in position with 45o and you check something like 974r behind. The turn's a Q and you bet. Is this mainly to get some better hands to fold (by perhaps betting the river as well) as it looks like you have a made hand because you checked the flop?

I think you should have paid more attentiion to dogg11 whom called every 3-bet you made? and the floated the flop bet 1/2pot when you checked on turn on several occations, and in the hand when you had A5 vs his QT on T8x8 he elected to check back the turn.

Also think you should not 3-bet him so much since he calls so many 3-bets and then floats, with hands that doesnt play well OOP like A5s.

You might be right, he tends to call lots of 3bets. A lot of times though it is easy to get caught up in short term results and let it affect your decision making (ie, if someone calls 50% of 3bets long term, he could easily go 5 hands in a row folding, or 5 hands in a row calling-- it doesnt actually affect his likelihood of calling).

very good vid. a few times during the vid you make some "non standard" 3bet sizes. For example, you 3bet 55 to 140 ip and you squeeze 120 to 360 in another spot. Could you talk a little bit about why you would make the smaller sizes and when is good/bad to do so.

In position I typically RR less than pot, and sometimes even less than 3x their raise. This is for a lot of reasons, most of which I think are fairly obvious, but I'd be happy to explain if you want me to.

I agree with you, betting is better than checking there with 88. Checking QQ is pretty good though.

I prob should either bet the flop or check again there on the turn w/ the 54

@ChicagoJoey: Do you like your betsizing on the turn? You're setting yourself up for a spot where you need about 9 outs to call if he shoves, I don't think that's a great play with the OESD on that board.

I think he should bet/fold, and bet much smaller. He allows himself to bluff a lot of rivers if I flat, and I am rarely shoving the turn unless I have a very strong hand (KJ, AA are about it). Betting a committing amount isnt really good, because the range of hands he gets me to fold tend to be the same with a small bet or a big one (if I have TT, I am folding if he bets 400 or 800...).

How do does he get that black table and not the green felt? That looked kinda awesome

In position I typically RR less than pot, and sometimes even less than 3x their raise. This is for a lot of reasons, most of which I think are fairly obvious, but I'd be happy to explain if you want me to.

Let me see if I can guess at some of your reasons....

Keep the effective stacks deeper
Better price when you're bluffing
More calls when you have value hands

Are there other reasons you think are obvious that I'm missing?

I don't really like my betsizing on the turn and I wasn't really sure what I should have done on the turn. I don't like folding to begin with and the added win a hand off a 2m2mm guy equity made me want to fold even less lol. I obviously didn't think his range was as strong as it was and I didn't plan on folding at the time so thats why I made a more "committing" looking bet and hopefully he just folds but if not then I have some outs.

its so refreshing to watch a video on this site where the aggression doesnt seem forced. you really come off as a natural talent. also applaud you for being sort of "up to date" on the video making, e.g not commenting on the most obvious fundamentals that everyone has heard and has been mentioned time and time again in every video on every site over the last year or so.

Both of your assumptions are correct, you're talking very fast and providing a lot of good content. Anyone paying full attention to the video, not just leaving it on in the background, would be grateful for the incredible value per minute you're providing at this blistering pace. Excellent work, you're doing great.

100% agree with this.

seriously... i did not know you were this good at making videos dani. this one is awesome.

Wow, amazing video, I'd love to see more vids in this format from you !

Ansky, Great Vid! One comment on the QQ hand. You said he would have a ton of draws here but I think that is wrong. He called a 3 bet oop so his range is somewhat tight. Also I think we can eliminate AdKd since he likely 4 bets that. So AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ are impossible due to your Qd and the board Jd. So that leaves AT A9 A8 possible some smaller Ax's but I think most fold to a 3 bet out of pos. here. KT is possible. But again smaller K's fold. Td9d is possible T8 is a stretch. 8d7d is posible but I think any smaller generally will fold preflop. So like 7 combos, maybe 3 more for all the 89s. Still that is 10 draws vs 9 set combos and 12 combos of AA or KK. So 21 times your a 92% dog and 10 times a 50% against straight and flush draws. Isn't this a fold for the check raise when you think about it?
Thanks.

Really great content. The fact that you give the reasoning behind everything you do is excellent.



99 b vs b- you say that vs aggro opps its a clear 4bt-call, but you said you just flat vs the nittier players. It seems to me that you're very often calling to ch-fold on a lot of flops and if you win the hand, unless you hit a set, you're winning a very small pot. The only time you win set-less will go ch-c, ch-ch, ch-ch & you win SD. For me this strategy has been a leak, can you expand on your reasoning behind flatting here and how to turn it into a +ev situation? I just feel I'm missing a very important 'something'.

Thanx.

Another reason to call vs nits is not just because they have a tight 3b range, it's also because they will rarely barrel you when they miss. You can c/c a lot of flops and give up if they keep firing.

Dani,

Excellent video, it was very very good! It just seemed fresh, and that you were very candid about your thoughts.
At 36:00 you have KdQh and the flop is AhQd5h you checked back the flop for what you said were "very obvious reasons, especially since I have the Qh" could you elaborate a bit please?
I am assuming bc you aren't ever folding out an any ace but what of the added significance of the Qh? Added equity of a heart turn?

Also, I really do hope you stick with doing your own live sweat sessions as opposed to sweating someone else.

Table 2: you call MP raise from bb with AJs. Villain decides to check back K77 rainbow board, turn is an A and you lead out with your turned top pair. Is this a spot where you lead out with TP, because you would do it also with air since villain has likely some sort of showdown value (and unless he has some Ax high he will keep checking back on this turn card) once he checks back this type of board and you expect to make him fold by betting turn and river? I am wondering because in theory this card helps more his pfr raising range rather than your bb pfc range.

I dont expect him to often have a hand which will represent an ace on the turn, because he typically bets his hands with no showdown value on the flop. I don't know what you mean by "once he checks back this type of board and you expect to make him fold by betting turn and river?"

Why would he ever fold an ace?

So glad you joinded the number 1 training site. I snap folded my poker savy sub when i heard you were leaving and fist pumped when told you were joing dueces. gggggggg wpwpwpwpwp

As you said you don't expect him to have an hand that will represent an ace very often, so what I was wondering is whether you feel this is also a good spot to donk out with air. I don't know how wide is your bb flatting range against an MP raise, but if you have JTs/T9s/QJs here would you donk out as well?

Typically no, because he has an ace that checked the flop to get to showdown so often.

Good Vid, but you were talking to fast for me. I often wsant sure what talble you were talking about, and had a hard time understanding you.

These are the types of videos that will keep me a member beyond the trial period. So much better then some of the others that play one hand and analyze it for twenty minutes. It is kind of like playing more hands improves ones game much faster, and the same seems to be true here watching more hands in videos should help more as well.

'ahh fuck it' lol'd

On poker news Twitter, said g4 cancelled next seaon. What network you guys using next year?

ANSKY...i followed you over from Savvy and the first thing i noticed is how the video is you alone commenting.

Thats great!! Nobody wants to hear anything that non-pro people like savvychris have to say...it really is all about what your thoughts are and nobody elses.

This video was awesome not only because you ran fairly good but the fast paced commentary was pretty damn good too. If you must make a change...(and you dont really need to unless this pace is uncomfortable) then I would say just record the session so you can pause at spots and cover areas slightly more in depth if needed.

I hope you dont end up making more vids sweating other people though I would much rather see you play.

Yo I was just hoping you could explain why you bet the turn with 45o in the 3bet pot on T74 Q ?

dont you think when he checks he is c/c ing alot since he would lead alot of his air on the turn ? Isit just for protection or are you planning on trying to bluff the river or something ?

Also, would you be calling/folding if villian had lead the turn ?
