Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by mdm13 (Micro/Small Stakes)

Interesting video, now I can get to know more about it without it costing me monies

New Mdm13 and a Rush video, so much win

New Ghost intro is nice.

mdm13`s new video. I`m gonna cry righ NOW. Seriously. Why the hell can`t i rate it to 6??
btw could you please make non Rush poker video, as rush is a bit meh imo

you sound a lot like Ike dude

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm already drooling...

Enjoyed the vid - thanks.

Do you think there's any place for exploitable bet sizing - e.g. KK CO betting 4x rather than 2x as BTN/SB are "generally" either playing their hands or have folded, BB doesn't have a quick fold so of course has to make a decision and no-one is going to notice (certainly for quite a while) if you are doing it?

Awesome. Been hoping for a rush vid. Lost alot of money in a small number of hands so need some help. Will watch at first op. (I like the new Ghost intro)

thanks for this video. great explanations.
god, it looks so godamn easy when you do it! lol

I have been playing a lot of rush. My strategy would be very exploitable in a regular ring game, but due to always switching tables and positions, even if opponents catch on it's very hard to counter. For example I raise ~70% of BTNs and COs as well 3betting late positions raisers relentlessly. If it was possible to have a HUD running I'm sure I look ridiculous.

Does anybody think that Rush is going to become big within grinders and winning players?

What do you think about this theory...

Waiting to raise (minraise) preflop when in early position to increase your fold equity. People may click quickfold their marginal hands if you take a little longer to make a raise, but may raise or 3bet it if the action gets to them before they have a chance to quickfold.

just noticed this was up. and we really need a multiquote function here unless im missing something. quick notice:not coaching now or anytime in the immediate future so no need to pm me.

I know that this is a specialty interest video but its a miniseries so there's 3 more coming (50nl, 100nl, 200nl ldo). will try to get the dc guys let me do something else after

never heard him but you aren't the first to tell me that

in short yes. i think using exploitable betsizing like that can be good in general, like for instance if the blinds are big fish maybe making it like 7x preflop with jj+ would work. i don't do this in practice because it is easier to just cruise along, but if i was 4-6 tabling normal tables i would be experimenting with lots of stuff like that

well since hem has a hudlike feature i imagine people are going to catch on pretty soon if you have like a 45vpip or something.

i think its here to stay but i don't think its going to be the new face of online poker or anything. i'm pretty sure FTPdoug said its not likely to come to midstakes and if it did i probably wouldn't play it for my main game unless the regular games were slow one night or something. as i said in the video if you cant play tons of tables already and/or are not into hopping around tables all the time to gameselect rush might be a good choice for you

definitely true, not really sure how this all fits in with the whole maximize your hourly thing and im certainly not going to use up all my time everytime i get dealt a hand in a video but it certainly is worth experimenting with. on a similar concept, the more rush i play the more i think it might be worth it to wait with a lot of the marginal hands but im going to do some gorilla math for my 3rd video and let you know what i decide

I think that people click quick fold more the longer they have to wait. Also, I think you should refrain from clicking quick fold because the pot will get folded to you a lot and give you steal opportunities and also, you need to give yourself a couple seconds to rest and waiting to click the regular fold button is a good way to build in the break.

Thanks for the video mdm13. My main game is 6max 25NL Rush right now. Unfortunately I wasn't in the video. People play very tight with going all-in preflop here. So in certain spots instead of shoving QQ+/AK we may only shove KK+ since it's Rush. I like your tips about min-raising, opening a flatter range, and doing some thin value 3bets. I wouldn't recommend auto-folding your big blind because people will frequently limp-fold in the small blind, or limp-call and then check-fold the flop. I look forward to your 50NL one next week. Good luck, Yojimgari

How do you get your hud stats into the place to take notes on FTP? I played today after updating HM but it still wasn't showing any stats.

Edited your post to put in some multiquotes. That's one of the things we'd like to improve about the forums when we have some time -- on the list but it's a ways off.

well this is why ftp isnt going to implement a true quickfold the bb button because of situations like that. however they are going to put in a fold/quickfold checkbox that quickfolds for you as soon as someone raises

you have to go to HUD Options > Rush FTP Export. it will create a backup of your notes but it WILL OVERWRITE YOUR NOTES AND COLOR CODES.

series of rush ***t. Obv will watch it anyways, but hope for like a 8 vid series of live 4tablin Small-mid stakes from you !
I`ve seen quite a bit of vids so far, and I actually think that these 4 or smth vids you`ve made for DC are on a lvl with guys like Galfond Aejones Krantz CTS Bwhale etc.

I did the export and then have been taking notes in the Full Tilt notes after the export. If I do another export, it will overwrite those notes?

probably. while the hud is too useful not to be used i think HEM fucked up a bit by not warning you that your color codes will get undone and not just adding the stats to the end of a note file or something. if you play rush a lot i would go post on the HEM forums and harass them to do something that won't effectively prevent you from note taking/color coding. i assume they are working on something because if you mix rush and normal games it sucks to have everyone youve ever played with be 1 color and im hoping some people complained.

also you guys are welcome to make comments on hands or make suggestions for next videos you know... I'm making a 50nl one tomorrow but i have the talking part lined up already and i'll do some HEM review in the 100nl one but i'd be willing to put in some time in the 200nl to address any interesting strat stuff you guys want me to talk about. also in the 100nl and 200nl videos ill play for a while beforehand to try to get 200bbs deep on both tables before starting to record.

Welcome back! I like the ghost format. 100nl 200nl would be cool.

Also hem hud works for rush tables with the new beta now.

Oh and I suck at time stamping but remember that Ax hand you had bvb and you vbet the river and got minraised on like a AKx88 board? I was kind of surprised you folded and I call a lot there expecting to chop and you're getting such a good price. I think some people vbet way too thinly even though not much worse calls.

The overbet shove you called where you had midpair and the guy turned two pair and rivered a boat with KQ I didn't like just because it was like a 2x pot bet and I think you have to be right way too often. I'd like it a lot more if he just slightly overbet pot and you were getting a better price. I feel that people are super passive at 25nl so when they show strength I tend to give them credit most the time in those marginal spots.

first thing you gotta either time stamp or just tell me when it is cause i dont remember, i make videos at least several days before you guys read them and consequently i dont remember anything that isnt like a huge pot.

as for the overbet shove i agree, there was another hand in the video i just made that i feel the same about where i may be giving people too much credit for being aggressive so yeah its a leak of mine at microstakes i guess

Poker Tracker 3's normal HUD works great with Rush tables. Not sure why DC's is so pro Hold'em Mgr, but if you want a HUD w/ Rush Poker then PT3 is the way to go, hands down.

TableNinjaFT works well with Rush. Just assign a key to "fold" and it will quick fold when used with Rush Poker.

I didn't find PT3's rush HUD helpful at all. It was always behind by a few hands. You could get it to sync up but have to time bank for it to catch up. Kinda takes away the point of playing rush. Did you have a different experience?

Too.. many.. sets.. aaaghghhrrr

When I play on my old laptop I agree, the HUD lagged. On my Dell desktop, with an i7 chip, the HUD worked amazingly well. After 15k hands I have very useful stats on many regs, and rush multi-tablers. It really helps identify the maniacs who are 3 and 4 betting with reckless abandon as well as the nits.

Cool, I was running it on XP through Parallels on a Mac, so that might be why. When they update the Mac version, I'll give it a try. Should be faster that way.

This hand reminded me of a hand I played the other day [well just in the sense of the overbet shove on the river] and I made a post about it:

Check it out and read the analysis on all the posts, I know I played the hand a bit differently then the standard but I feel it's an approach that would work RUSH poker. Let me know what you think...

can anybody tell me how he got his HUD hidden?

i think its probably because you can get discounted HEM iirc but anyhow they have come out with a hud so my 3rd video will have a hud.


and responded to guy with lots of cards for his name

so my 3rd video will have a hud.

When will we have the opportunity to see your 2nd video?

im not sure but i already made it and gave it to the men in charge

if you're still looking for a quick-fold script, search for FTCash at 2p2.
Cool vid.

is there an option like this on hem?

25 nl? really?

Can the next video be on 50nl rush? I played 25nl yesterday, and this strategy is destroying. Up $190 over 3.4k hands.

already been made . then 100nl rush and 200nl rush.

has it been posted yet in the videos section? I would love to see that.

Can't wait for the next videos. What's your cold calling range with deep stacks (200bb+)? With more defined PF ranges wouldn't it be easier (and profitable) to cold call 67s+, 79s+ against deep stacks in LP? Keep in mind that I am 4 tabling, so maybe it's just better for my $/hr to just hit quick fold?

Edit: Should also note that I have played almost 100k hands, and generally I haven't been too successful 3-betting with those hands unless the villain opens to often or his fold-to-3-bet is over 75%.

love the vid, thx for that. any eta on the new ones since u said 8 days ago one was already finished?

In this hand you min raise 77 UTG +1, and then snap fold to a smallish 3 bet squeeze from a 200+ BB stack in the small blind.

Any particular reason for this fold? It seems like you are getting great odds to set mine here in position with deep stacks. Were you worried about the short stack coming back over the top?

Time Link to 01:04:40

I'm sorry but why we are not calling the 3bet of the deep stack on the sb with pocket 7 since we are 280 deep?Should we fear the short stack shove?TY
p.s.
btw i love the general strategy

I fold 77 there too because ss can rejam or even if he calls it's an action killer postflop since villain knows you're going to have to sd your hand with the ss being in the pot.

Time Link to 00:39:24

Why fold to the check/minraise on the A9 hand on the river? It could easily be a split pot and it's only $3 to win an $18 pot.

why fold ...A9

rly bad fold imo

I'm curious, have you changed your mind or opinion on Rush 6 months later? I've been having big swings in it and tend to ind myself up against nut hands and dudes getting it in terribly with over shoves and winning.

I've just started playing rush and I'm wondering how relevant this vid is now.

anyone?
