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

It was tempting but I hate when people post "first " or some other witty variation.

I was a little worried when this was turning into a HU video but that discussion on the AT hand was excellent. What turns are you barreling here , T/J/Q/K/A and any diamond?

Sound is poor, particularly WoT - I assume it was a borrowed mic?

I like the bet of $48 into $70 pot, especially with Villain's stack size (of abt 100bb). It could be a bet for value (w/ Kx) and it's a great bet size to leverage hero's stack. Plus the bet size could get looked up by some weak hands (like it did in this case) when almost all of the draws miss on the river.

Nice job. Most interesting vid this series so far I think.

Donk Betting

On the J9 donk bet w/ 7A8 board, you get showdown value on the turn. If you get a total brick, say a 4 or Q that doesn't give villian a backdoor flush, do you barrel? If so, what happens if you get 9,5,7 river, I assume a third barrel?

I would not reccomend this line in 100NL or lower, on any of your dynamic play. (Only because these guys tend to call down anything 2nd pair or higher)

When donkbetting toppair hands on flushdraw and/or straightdraw boards, are we calling / reraising when we get raised?

WoT: how would you start to create a preflop calling range and than donking / check-raising ranges on different board textures? I liked a lot the things you said during ATo hand on 653tt board but playing back on this kind of board would need for a player to have more small suited connectors and Axs in his flat blind defend range. Do you think flatting with those cards can be profitable in 6 max on the stakes Alex is playing?

As a six max (wanna be HU player) I have to say I love this video.

The whole concept of betting polorised on the river with our thin value hands is just pure gold.
Its something thats always been in the back of my mind but had never really thought deeply about .


Great series guys.

if we have your read, then we dont donk bet here w/o high equity draws or strong hands. As it turns out J9 on A78 doesn't do too badly vs top pair and 2ndpair. if he can add in 3rd pair to the mix and fold it on the river or fold the combinations of straight draws that are better than ours, it means we could have a profitable bluff depending on bet size and river card.

but yea, if the read is they never fold top pair or middle pair for any amount, then the whole donkbetting level/dynamic stuff we talked about is useless. I'd say that the original assumption is probably inaccurate for EVERYONE at 100nl and below... but if you're right, then easy game

Against the right players it can be. Also don't forget that you can use pocket pair overpair combinations as value hands too...so like 88 c/r here for value, once the dynamic is set. Mostly though, we're taking advantage of the people who are on a gazillion tables and not paying as much attention as they should be... but you're absolutely correct, many regs are SEVERELY unbalanced by checkraising in this spot on this board texture when defending a button open from the sb, for instance. the question is just if they are going to play back, and if they are, now we can use some of our AJ/AT/KQ hands to checkraise and jam over a 3bet. It sounds like spew but just think about what our range looks like to c/r and what an observant villain might do to play back. If he floats we still get overcard equity and bluffing opportunities. If he 3bets, he now has a flop 3betting range that is probably wayyyy too skewed towards air (since our flop c/r looks like air) so unless he thinks we can 4bet the flop with air, probably he shouldn't be value 3betting QQ here (again, unless he thinks we are c/r'ing for thin value with A6s or 88, etc)... and the level war continues

Hope that helps

Thanks WoT.

I'm thinking about blind defense a lot, but I hit some sort of thought firewall how to play back at ppl on rainbow boards if they are aggressive. Since my value range is very narrow on K96r / J76r or A54r and I don't really have hands to semi bluff with so a perceptive opponent should think I'm full of crap most of the time. Also a lot of gutshot+1 over + back door FD kind of hands are too weak to c-c against barrel happy opponent. So it would be cool if you could squeeze more of blind defense material into the series

i think it was the right play to check the turn with k3 when you check raise the flop you are representing a strong king K9 K6 66 now when you check the turn you either have one of those hands (even tho unlikely) or a bluff that you are giving up on so there is no value in him betting the turn with top set bad kicker
