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

I might be a tournament donk, but whats your reasoning behind shipping the turn in the last hand as opposed to just making it like 200k? By making it 200k you leave yourself with 20bb, if villain CR'ed the nuts.

Anyone?

Let's pretend you play a similar hand vs this villain again. Given that you now know that he checks back whiffed A-hi here, you still go for a c/c?

disagree here.
he will call with sets maybe, just because its a set. but i think he will fold all 2pairs. at least i would

Please leave a time-stamp or better yet, Watch this short video, and leave a time link!

That will be much easier for the coaches to find the hand and answer your questions, thanks.

That's a really interesting idea. I mean.. that would be me raising 100k more into a pot of like 300k, so it's kinda crazy. I'm really not sure how sheets would respond to it, so I can't really comment too much , but it's an interesting thing to consider.

One thing, though, is that this is a bluff that I think has a ton of fold equity. And when you're bluffing with tons of fold equity, squeezing a little fold equity out by going bigger is usually a good idea. I realize that that's sort of vague, but if you go to my previous video http://www.deucescracked.com/videos/1209-Episode-Eight and scroll to about 22:00, I do some math on that.

No. I'm not convinced that he'd always check back air here just cause he did it once, but I am pretty sure that he'd almost never value bet less than a set here, and given his preflop range, that's like 3 combos of hands that he can have for value (and he might even check a set).

disagree here.

Yeah, you're right that he's much more likely to call with a set than two pair here, and I should've made that distinction in the video. (Actually, maybe this is a spot where I should've written down my math instead of just counting out loud.) I just meant to say that I'm sure he'll manage to find at least 7 worse hands to call with there.

When you raise on the river with 87hh, how much do you raise? I feel like in that spot you're basically saying "I has a flush and I want you to call" so personally I think a min-raise would be best. It's pretty obvious you have a flush there but I find often times villain will talk themselves into a call based on getting tied to their hand and for curiosity sakes.

ty 4 vid, pls make your next series "the pro approach" style like on PS+

pr0wler,
I actually had this conversation with a friend of mine after the hand.

I definitely think minraising gets called more often, but it has to get called 685/315 = ~2.2 times as often by a worse hand as 1k does here. I don't think that's happening with my image, especially when you consider that occasionally he makes a fold to the minraise that he wouldn't fold to the larger bet because a minraise is so blatantly for value here.

Acomb,
You're welcome.

I might do something like that at some point. Late Night Coaching with Joe Tall isn't exactly the same thing, but it's pretty close. So you might wanna check that out. It's sorta like the pro approach, except it's a student of mine instead of just a random member. Plus, Joe Tall hosts it and makes lots of jokes about how limit players never fold A-high, which is fun .

Not to sound sycophantic or anything, but I get a lot out of your videos and I'm really glad you joined DC! I think I've watched each one twice at least. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, man. Glad you like my vids.

enjoyed the discussion a lot

i think one thing you could do more of is discuss range balancing. many of your actions center in an exploitive strategy, but they still seem grounded in balancing. for instance, flatting KJs to the cbet and having flushes in your range later protects your marginal hands and so on...

Hi terp,
Glad you like it.

I don't mention balancing at all because I almost never consider it. I take the line that I think is most profitable with each individual hand. I don't really see any reason to do anything else.
