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

Good vid guys, some decent content and definitely entertaining. I really like these simple video review vids that go over small pots and spots. Looking forward to more small stakes vids from Crackmonkey.

On a side note, Chris, are these typical 100nl stars games or did you just table select really well? I play on iPoker and the preflop aggression is just through the roof, seems like the regs are much tighter on stars judging from your video.

Do you think that against a minraise you should be more likely to 3-bet with these types of broadway hands AJ,KQ? If yes, could you elaborate the reasoning behind it?

I'm glad you liked it. The video quality isn't very good, so if Josh gives me another chance to make a video with him, we'll definitely try to improve that.
For the video I pretty much sat down at the first tables I could find, so I would say that's what most games are like.
Thanks

This video stands for quantity and not quality.
Bored, tired coach commenting a boring video with no hightlights. Thats the topic for this piece.

DC why dont you have any kind of quality-management ?

Glad you enjoyed the video.

I assume you're talking about Table 2 where we have KQs in the SB against a button minraise. Absolutely you should be 3 betting the hands you mentioned because they are well ahead of villain's range and, if villain is calling a lot of 3 bets, you'll be playing a strong hand against a weak range. To be honest though, I would be 3 betting those hands against pretty much any button raise most of the time.

Hmmm I was neither bored nor tired when Chris and I recorded this. Not every training video is going to be filled with outlandish spots where we're making check/raise river bluffs or contemplating hero calls with A high for 200 BBs. Talking about the seemingly mundane and boring spots can be very beneficial as these are the spots that we are constantly in.

Also, in the future, please offer some sort of suggestion or constructive criticism in the future. Your comments are not particularly helpful and in no way help us make improvements to better meet the needs of DC members.

Too much rewinding.

I completely agree, a lot of money is won and lost in the small to medium pots, definitely need vids like these that focus on them.

To be fair though, you did say you were really tired CM.

I probably just said that as an excuse for my poor rewinding skills.

This was a good response.

Should have left this part out IMO.

I'd like to ask why the student likes to 3bet AJo vs CO opens so much. But flats AJs, and still doesn't check/call a low board with a backdoor flushdraw. [28;00]

table 3 KT: What do you think about turn sizing 14 into 15?

Sounds like something I didn't notice when making the video. Calling OOP with a hand as strong as AJs and then check/folding low boards ( unless PFR is some mega-nit ) would definitely be a mistake.

Edit: Using the word definitely twice in a two sentence post is definitely too much.

table 3 KT: What do you think about turn sizing 14 into 15?

I think $12 probably gets you the same number of folds. The majority of the range we're folding out with a turn bet is 9x and floats.

So if you called on the turn are you firing the river?

If we get called in the KTo hand against the 50/20 (or w/e stats he had) fish are we planning on betting all streets for value, hoping to get called by all worse kings/mediumpairs?

Or are we gonna c/c turn-river to let him bluff, valubet worse (not too likely but anyway..)?

at 20:05(i don't know how to insert a time link) when you 3-bet with AJ on table 2, could you explain why? The guy seems to have a high F3B and farily tight raising range pre, also we're OOP. If it's a 3 bet as a bluff i would understand, but AJ seems to good to 3-bet bluff with and not quite good enough to 3-bet for value here. Imo it would be better to just call pre but if you could explain why you're 3-betting here that would be awesome!

at 31:30 w 55 on a 239 board I think where never getting a better hand to fold and not getting action fron weaker hands. So were turning our hand into a bluff. And merit to just giving up on this one because a c-bet appears to be -ev?

here is your timeline chuck . But I am also interested to get an answer to your question.
