Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by NinaWilliams (High Stakes)

Bryce is now grinding these stakes; there's a good chance he's just playing, not making a vid.

Good stuff so far, good discussion about balance at the start.

awesome commentary.

I would open [Q6o] vs weaker opposition but this guy's aggro and this guy [points to Freedom25] won $4 million playing poker

"This guy probably sucks. I'm just basing my read off the fact that he's playing poker on the internet, so he's probably not very good. Same with this gentleman."

Hilarious.

A+ commentary throughout, for the wit and the analysis.

DC latest pickups have been gems.

video just stops at minute 14?!

6c6h HJ vs Bu 3bet flop Jc5s3c. I always check-raise in these spots against unknown regs and I think that's the right way to play but I'm really interested to here some other opinions. As played on the flop, I'd probably cr this 3 turn for value hoping to get called down by Ace highs but it seems clooose.

edit: Okay he's probably not a reg since he checked back 99. But I'd still cr the flop or this turn card.

that's fair and I could be wrong about this spot. The main problem with calling down is that he'll rarely value bet worse on the river. If he'll value bet AK hi, calling down becomes more attractive. Likewise if he'll check back 99(lol), If he plays the river well, then check raising starts to look better.

I will say that people drastically overrate their equity here. For reference:

What's your BB defense range vs a SB open? I would usually fold anything below J5o here.

Once you get to postflop play with J2, obviously there are not a whole lot of great boards for your hand. So what are you planning to do with this hand post flop?

i'd rather be too loose than too tight here. You can try to win some pots UI on various board textures, but don't go overboard with it.
