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

the best FR videos on teh internet imo

its not that interesting when you just show hands where you flop sets, boats and quads.

*sips haterade*

okay. there is some other stuff in here. maybe ill watch the entire video before talking shit next time!

i dont really understand why you sort of mock fyoudubby, saying he "thinks he is reading hands well", but at the same time pat yourself on the back for repping exactly what he thinks you have.

good vid.

Well I liked it loads.

Sure we could have seen lots of hands where you miss your set, and your suited cons hit nothing. But what use would that be? What is more important, as we play like nits, is to know how to build the pot once we hit, how to defend against draws and how to use our image to represent hands we have not got.

Excellent.

I wasn't really mocking him, I was mainly just noting that he chatted something like "nice set" which I think is silly and doesn't serve any good purpose (especially if you're wrong). Most of the reason I was able to make that move was that he was a solid regular who could (hopefully) make big laydowns with hands like KQ, AK, or AA there.

And yes I was definitely patting myself on the back for repping exactly what he thinks I have. Thats the point of a good bluff!

at 44:24 you play 78cc you give the impression that you think villain has AA yet you call his all-in as a 58 42 underdog. Is this really a good play?

I liked this video because each hand except the first one is a case study in its own right and am sure it will pay dividends to study not just the hands but also the underlying concepts at depth.

Its a no brainer from where I am sitting, he must be getting something like 3-1 pot odds by the time the all in happens.

I don't know he has AA, but I know that I've got great equity against most anything (47/53 against AA with no club, 43/57 against AA with a club, probably similar against just about any one-pair hand) and my bet-3bet line may often get him to fold a top pair or overpair hand, since I was in the BB and could have any 2. Also, I'd play any 2-pair or set the same way, so if you're familiar with G-bucks, then I'm actually a favorite overall range-wise.

Board: Tc 6h 2c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 29.615% 29.62% 00.00% 12314 0.00 { AcAd }
Hand 1: 70.385% 70.38% 00.00% 29266 0.00 { TT, 66, 22, T6s, T2s, 9c8c, 9c7c, 8c7c, 62s, 5c4c, 5c3c, 4c3c, T6o, T2o, 62o }

So AA isn't looking so good now, eh? The main point I was trying to make is that you should generally be more cautious with your big pairs postflop when you go for a limp-reraise and whiff. I had another hand set to go in the video but the converter didn't work for it. I think it also shows that concept pretty well:

I understood your main point about playing AA. I guess I just got confused about your talking about his AA hand before the hand started and was only using AA as his range against us. Thanks for the explanation. I thought the video itself was great. I would have loved this series 6 months ago. Now that I joined DC I have been only playing 6 max, as almost everything seemed more geared to that. As an aside I want to say to you guys that the site is fantastic. Almost every video has good clear content and a purpose for being on the site , other than take up space. I sincerely believ that this is the best coaching/forum site on the net.

Glad to have you on board! We'll be coming out with a lot more great 6-max material pretty soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

I play full ring, I think this series is great and it has really helped me a lot. I've watched and re-watched basically every hand and analyzed them all as best as I can. I think I got a lot out of it due to the easy to understand format. More full ring please

do you have a hud download available for your pokerstars full ring game?

Yes I just uploaded my Stars version, its located at http://www.senseipoker.com/?p=28 along with the FTP one. Follow the instructions and you should be good to go!

Nice showing of! Now I know why I can't win; I don't flop enough sets or quads!

Thanks for the great series. I would love to see more full ring videos as well to gear up for more live play during the summer.
I have one question about the video: In the hand with 33 vs KJ (min 30) how would you play this postflop from the villain's perspective? Your limp/ call preflop screams pocket pair so with this low flop the check behind is probably good. When he hits the king on the turn and you check what would you do if you were him?

I'd probably bet the turn most of the time, but if the villain was very straightforward and unlikely to give action I might check behind and try for one bet on the river. Once checkraised, I'd either fold or call depending on the villain's aggression, and I'd rarely stack off the river unless he was a maniac bluffer.

i really dislike your play style. you're the phil helmuth of online poker. so passive. cant stand it.

that considered, i think ill watch all your videos and try to be more open minded so i can try to understand your reasoning, because apparently it works for you

DJ,

Something is peaking my interest when I watch some of these high stakes (to me at least) videos. I never hear mention of drawing odds? I think once in this you did mention pot odds I believe when the guy min raised you on the turn that it was an excellent price to hit your draw but other than and across other videos I just don't hear much mention of it. I assume it's playing a role but that you guys just aren't speaking about it? I'm assuming it's a given that it's included in the decision?

to me it's fine I was just curious as you move up is it more or less just so heavily weighted on knowing the opponents your playing or is it such an intuitive process by the this point that you do it almost mindlessly without real conscious thought sorta like your subconscious just blurts out in an instance 4:1 gettting 5:1 to chase, bingo, that checks out, next thought process?

I guess for me its mostly just subconscious at this point. Plus, playing NL, you're not put in as many spots of checking your immediate pot odds but lots of (generally more vague and complicated) implied odds situations. In many situations (especially on earlier streets) my opponents stack size is much more important to me than his bet size!

High stakes is easy, I always have the nuts, w00t!

Seriously, let's see some hands (by all coaches) where you have to make a difficult but well-reasoned fold. Poker's not only about getting the most money when ahead.

I have learned a lot from your videos regarding letting my opponents bluff at the pot. I was losing a lot of value by sticking in smallish bets on the river here, trying to induce a bluff rather than checking. The same thing on the turn, in the past i would have bet the turn smallish as well rather than checking. Your play is logical. I think this one small tweak to my game will pay for my subscription to this site many times over. Thanks and well played.

What about the bonus video ? The fith one you were talking about in episode one.
Did that bonus video is available ?
Thank you
