Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by insyder19 (High Stakes)

1st

very nice.

Love this vid (and series)

Whitelime is definitely at his best when he's having questions asked of him and Insyder plays the inquisitive student very well.

Great job, really enjoyed the vid.

I have been playing poker for sometime now and im guilty of playing my own hand strenth and not hand reading villians as much as I should.

Whats the best way to learn to think like a winning player and the thought process that I should go thru in any given situation? (bit random I know but want to think like a champ and not a chump!)

For me it required a lot of practice but also getting coached helped a lot.

You really need to get into the habit to think logically about poker and not let anything fool you when making your decision. Also never be afraid of making a big call when having a total bluff catcher but always go with your read.

Everytime when i play and hear Insyder my game sky rockets, i love it!!!

Ja, I am still thinking about a hand I played some weeks ago.
Villain bets the river and I think: "Must be a bluff, that sure is a busted flush draw." I looked at my King high hand, thought "CALL!!" and clicked the fold button. Villain then showed the busted draw.

It was a pleasure to watch this video. Really really interesting hands and thoughts. One of the best vids on dc.

always go with your read.

this is very key, i think. i guess it's about trusting yourself enough to think you're correct and leave second guesses for later review rather than while playing?

a lot of players are results oriented. they make a call which is correct but lose the hand and therefore think it was a bad call. being confident in what you are doing is pretty important.

Same applies for bluffing. Just because someone folded air where you bluffed with a better hand doesn't mean your bluff was good.

Maybe I could talk about such topics in some videos in the future.

It's hard to give you a general answer for a question like this but I've found the most beneficial thing is that you should question everything you do. Even things you've been taught by others are the correct play. Have a reason for everything you're doing on every street. Why are you betting? Why are you betting that much? What about betting more or less? Even if your reasoning for some of these questions isn't right, it'll help you develop the right mentality for improving your game quickly.

Insyderr here is suprised that villain can have hands as strong as AA and KK. Whitelime instead says that this is how TAGs may play overpairs to pot control in spots where they don't like to get raised. In Never Tell Me The Odds Krantz said that against aggro opponents is a more than decent line to just check/call down on scary boards OOP with an overpair.
What I do not understand totally is whether a LAG instead should always bet here with an overpair because of his image and the fact that his multiway range gets too weak if he starts to show down hands like AA in his c/c range?

You need a c/c range in every spot. On this type of board if you bet you are rarely bluffing, especially since the BTN behind us could easily shove any pair+draw so why would he bet total air?

Jay is correct that you just c/c all the way down overpairs in 3bet pots against aggro opponents who put you on some type of mid pair with marginal showdown value and try to get you off that. It is also for balance purposes to not ONLY c/c with those mid pairs but also have overpairs in your range.

And it would be weak if you start showing up with AA/KK in these spots but you shouldn't ALWAYS do that but just from time to time to mix it up and keep your c/c range strong enough.

Yeah, the "always" was a poor word choice from my part. What I was wondering from Whitelime remark is whether the frequency that a TAG shows up with AA/KK here should/is higher than a LAG does and why would that be the case if it's true.

I think that frequency should be higher and usually is. It makes perfect sense too as LAGS can bet AA and get more value than TAGS but TAGS are more likely to induce bluffs if they check.

These latest videos with insyderrr are great. Emil is explaining very clearly and Vladimir is asking great questions "what if"

Good work, guys!

+1.. a good job selecting interesting hands and knowing what you want to ask Emil about them, and he always addresses the situation succinctly, keep them coming!

The addition of insyderrr to this series has really raised its overall quality.

The interaction between him & the DC coaches makes for one of the best educational content on DC.

Agreed, the series was a bit of a let down imo considering Whitelime and BW are two of my favorite coaches and the first one with Krantz and FWF was one of my favorites series', Insyder has made this not only a lot more informative but also a lot more entertaining.

I think I find videos with a student - teacher dynamic more helpful since the teacher can't take as much for granted with someone probing
