YES !

Zomg!

ZOMGGGGG i came

good vid!

mdm13, great video!

Some thoughts about a few hands though:

1. The hand where you river the flush on a double paired board 3-way and he bets pot: don't you think that he is betting this big because he expects you or the other player to have a flush here a ton of the time? When I saw his betsizing I wanted to fold, because I don't really think he would bet this big for value with a flush. If he doesn't have an 8 or 4 he should be scared that one of you has the FH here, and if he has a small flush he should target his betsize to get calls from TP hands. Here it looks exactly like he thinks that you or the other player is strong and that he is expecting to get called by worse.

2. At 20:40 you 3bet in the bb the small blind who opens to 7. Is raising here to 25 your standard? Certainly against a guy that fold a ton to 3bets I don't see value in making it pot+2bb here ip.

3. At 29:10 you open KJo in MP with a pro shortie behind you, is this standard?

4. At 55:00 someone minraises preflop, and checks behind on flop and turn on a 374K double suited board, while you have 75s. Why check this river? I don't think there is any reason to think that villain is going to bluff here (if he wants to bluff he bluffs flop or turn imo) and there is also no reason to think that your hand isn't best. so why no valuebet and see if he can call with a hand like 22 or A high.

ps. sitting with 100bb on a deepstack table with a fish that has 200bb at table 4 is criminal

I am having trouble with both the d/l and the stream.

The stream starts loading, but only plays for 10 or 15 seconds before stopping.

And when I try to d/l, I get a pop-up saying file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read".

Any advice? Thanks. (I'm in Euroland).

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No problems with download here (Im Europe as well).

Enjoyed the vid, I know this may be a difficult question but you seem to be excellent at ignoring results.
I noted three or four occasions where I know my thought process would be "again? ffs" whereas you make reads and note things about the villans line on earlier streets.

I have Tommy's book which is excellent and I'm looking forward to his series but if you want to elaborate further on your metagame in future vids that would be great.

Is it just me or does the top right table say (deep 6) and you're sitting with 100bb?

just because you can sit with 200bb doesn't mean you have to

I've only seen about half of it, very good stuff so far

The chat block icon on jongreenway made me grin

hey

i dont know if it possible but i rather want to see 2* ~40min clips than one b/c i get tried a the end of long clips.

and yeah great video. keep up the good work

great vid!

btw. Do you have the link for me yet?

Which forum on 2+2 was the topic on work ethic?

mdm13, great video!

hand 1. He can pot any flush and expect to be called by worse from the 3rd player who seems weak and will call with low flushes and aces and almost never has a 4, rarely an 8, plus the fact that leading an 8 doesn't really make a ton of sense but leading a FD does a lot more and my flush is high.

2. No, I'd make it smaller in hindsight.

3. Yeah, I think genehackman stays out of the way often enough to make the open +ev/

4. I thought about betting and its probably fine its just that theres really not a ton of hands that i dont have a small piece with and he prob expects me to have bluffed on the turn if I was going to with a draw

In the Q2s hand very early in the video where the other guy rivers a FH against your flush you say he's pretty much never bluffing there and I would certainly agree with that but isn't an 8 more in his range than a weaker flush on the river? You said yourself that his pot bet was for value. If I recall correctly the fish was still in the hand and I expect him to call the flop with an 8 so when he pots the river he's either bluffing (pretty much never) or has a FH, no?

Again his donking range should contain more FDs than 8s and yes, the fish might call the flop with an 8 but he has more aces and low flushes in his range than an 8 (he probably calls any ace pre but not any 8) and sometimes he folds an 8 on the flop.

His range cant be FH or bluff because not betting a flush would be missing a ton of value.

I think SSNL, maybe MSNL.

How do you set your seat like that so you are always in the same position when you sit at a table? thanks for your help on my innocent Full Tilt virgin question.

Like the guy said options -> auto center.

Well I'm not really sure what you are asking but not being results oriented and having a strong mental game i think is one of my strengths. I can answer this again if you would elaborate on what you mean or what specifically you want me to elaborate on.

great vid!

ty, i will pm you later tonight

This video was long for no real reason, I don't plan on doing a ghost video this long again but probably not as short as 40 minutes though, more in the 50-60 minute range.


If you have any other questions I'll get back to you later tonight or later this week as I will be gone. Please include the timestamp of when a particular hand happened or I will not be able to comment.

Thanks for the comments,

Mark

mdm needs his own series. go go go

Good vid, best part was villains SNs.

Ch 5 NewsTeam, Fast Eddie McG and arrr innn ftw.

gnome,

why would you ever release the secret of the 5max tables? you just sold your soul imo.

Also, great video as always, although I would like to see some of the spewy retardo bluffs you claim to to specialize in.

-Mark

great vid, i like the small bet on river to make other buster draws fold, you should have kept that one quiet lol. Also your double barrel frequency is really low (compared to other mid stakes DC coaches), you seem to find reasons to shutdown rather than reasons to continue, i deffo feel i must be spewing too much now. Gd vid, want to see more, liked the length too.

calling with the Q high flush draw is probably a mistake. He's betting hard into 2 other people and the board is double paired. Thoughts on this?

Also i know the c/r AJo line on a 9xx board looks good in theory but its pretty bad in practice. What are you really representing ?

God your table selection is awful. That gnomeontilt guy is at ALL of your tables.

Very solid vid.
