Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by sthief09 (Micro/Small Stakes)

I hope your next video continues this session. At first I thought it might get disjointed with 4 tables and all the skipping around, but it didn't. Great job and insightful commentary!

Yeah I just watched this and it's one of my favorite vids yet. Great work, Josh.

great vid, i love this series

Still don't like the format! The speed is too high for 4 tables, we are missing all the "minor" things like what hands you fold, where you cbet etc that can help to find our smaller leaks. Also the constant pausing and rewinding is extremely confusing. I stopped watching half way through. I think you should either copy the important hands you want to talk about into a replayer or make a standard live session.

Josh,

In a few of your videos you talk about making the villain call 10% of stacks when 3-betting PF. I usually 3-bet to 14BBs in position and 16BBs OP against a 4BB open with 100BB stacks. Are these sizes too big? Is the 10% of stacks rule tailored to make set mining a bad proposition for villain?

I agree. I think you should do 2 tables. I like the series but 4 tables is just too hard to follow.

Great video Josh.

Don't know what all the fuss about the format is about. I love it and have no problem following what's going on. Just follow his cursor. He puts it on the table where he's talking about a new hand. Also 4 tables allows him to come across more situations than just at 2 tables. If you guys want more discussion of certain preflop nuances I suggest watching FWF's vids where he explains nearly every decision that he makes live on 2 tables.

Great video. Keep it up, Josh.

i LOVE the format. wasn't confusing at all. +1 to one of my favourite vids so far. i think it's great that you rewind and talk about the important hands thoroughly. it solves the problems of 4 tabling where you don't have time. you MADE the time. looking forward to the next one.

i guess it's impossible to please everyone.

very high quality vid, thanks for this

good format and vid

What is the name of the software you use to play your hands back?

This video is just Josh playing back a video and re-recording it as he plays it back (Windows Media Player). When we do hand replays we use Popopop's Universal Hand Replayer but that isn't used here.

Thank you sir!

I think 4 tables is fine, but it was sometimes hard to track which table you were talking about. Even though you have a highlighted cursor, it wasn't easy to follow cause there were so many pointers on screen at once (including mine). You should number the tables from 1 to 4, and let us know which table you're at before discussing the action.

omg i cant play the video i dont know why, it wont play with windows media player, always stops or the screen gets black..

Yay, I made a video. I'm watching from work and I see I'm in one of your videos, can't wait to get home to see what I had in the hands we played. Glad to see you didn't classify me as a donkey(due to low volume of hands played with me, I'd guess )

FWIW, I just checked the hands. (I'm joe_abrams btw) I flopped the wheel in the hand that you had AJ. I shoved JT (wtf? :| ) in the hand where you laid down a flush. I don't remember my thought process (maybe non-existant? ) but I'd guess your hand as played just looked really weak when you checked the turn and then fired out a half pot on the flop.

Before I was able to look at the hand history, I thought your read was right as I usually will just push in that situation if I think the board has enough possibilities to get me paid (ie: connected high cards, player leading into me, 60BBs in the pot already). I'm a total fish and this was all probably way -EV and this is not tobe construed as me bragging about bluffing you, in truth, I probably thought I was value-shoving on that scary board with 2 pair :|

Anyways, love the videos.

I just watched this for the second time after watching it a few months ago, and got some things out of it this time that I missed the first time. My first reaction was to snap call with the T8s on the river since you're not that deep and you're getting fairly good odds, but when I thought about the hand later I agree that it's a fold. It's just not a spot where he's value shoving anything worse or bluffing enough to make it a call. It's a spot where I would have called before and just thought it was a cooler. When you're running bad it's the little things like these that help you save/make money.

I love this format. This is my favorite series, and I ep 4 and 5 are my favorite eps.

nice vid is it bad to call down the river in that 57s hand? its 30 to call to win 140

The dl of this video always jams at 8MB~ and the stream also just cuts at some point. Arrgh

I think the T8 fold on the river to the shove is a call. honestly, he can only represent KQ, and thats it. I dont think he flats K9 or Q9 pre. What do you guys think about that?

I also was shocked about that laydown.. I mean how often can you worry about better flush.. and you draw to a flush and then fold when you get it.. But on the other hand I thought that would be very nice laydown considering the way he played..
But when I saw this shove I thought yeah probably he had like AT or AJ, hit it and got crazy.. I wasn't quite right but it turns out he did have 2 pair

you made a weak bet on the river which was a value bet, but looked like a blocking bet. So it Looks like you are afraid of the flush and he pushes you all in. Did you have any history with this player since you knew he werent bluffing? to me this is a snap as long as it's not a winning regu but thats maybe because im stuck at 25NL. Maybe if his turn bet were bigger you would have called too? because I agree with the turn looks very like he could be drawing.

I'm pretty sure this was covered in the thread because I remember this hand, but I admit this is an easy call. This is something I've had to work on over the years. Big river folds are sort of my version of FPS.
