Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by ColmsUM (Mid Stakes)

solid video with good discussion

I really liked the video. It seems like you two work very well together (roommates obv) and were on the same page a lot. I would like to see some more from you guys in the future.

nice vid.

there were 1 or 2 spots (20-35min) in wich you were oop in 3bet pot with a rather marginal 1 pr hand. I dont remember the actual hand but I think I would check these the majority of the time to see what he is betting vs missed cbets. (c/c obv.) What do you think?

I liked the vid but I think replaying a session is a better format. I have some questions about some situations:
In 2 situations there hits a perfect bluffing Card on the river, where I think a min bet or a check would have been better, cause our opponent would bet more hands including bluffs than he will call with:
Tc9d on Td7hQs8d6c
8c7c on 5c6s9d3cAh
I wouldn't check this boards against passive opponents, but an aggressive opponent may use this cards as scare cards. Especially on the second hand, when he pushes, I would most likely fold an Ace.
C-Bet sizing in 3 bet pots:
This kind of guys never fold in position in a 3 bet pot on boards like this:
4s9s6d
Th8d6s
On the first board we are holding TT on the second one JJ. Shouldn't we CB less (we did CB such a board with AKs) but make bigger CBets with our Over Cards?
We continuation bet (later on, it was not a 3bet pot) JsTs on 7c4s8c.
Is checking here not better for the following reasons: We have a gut shot, we have 2 over cards and a back door flush draw, there maybe a lot of turn cards that will improve our equity. While someone with his stats (15% 3 bet: a lot of Broadway hands? and big pairs? / 30% calling range) will hit in a lot ways this board and may check raise us a lot, at least I don't see him folding better hands. If we CB this flop, are we going to push if he checkraises, given that we may have some fold equity?
I also don't understand our check on the river with KdJd on 2dKh4c7s5d
If he check raises us on the flop and we call, what does he think about our hand: Kx, 88, 77, 44, 22 on some rare occasions JJ,TT,99 if we decided to flat. Given this range, I don't think that their will be enough bluffs in his range at the river, but he may call our value bet.
Our call with AQ where we are holding A high: We beat only bluffs, still a call?
Thank U very much for your effort!!

sweet colmsum is a beast!

hmm agree solid stuff, only one bone to pick, the hand near the end with hero holding 4-4-4, the river makes an A or 6 high str8 poss, the villian checks back and hero bets $101, villain pops it up to 270 ish, just hard for me to see value in the bet instead of taking the free showdown.
my thinking being hero is reping i guess A-j or A -x on the end, i guess the villain knows its an easy hand to rep for the hero, but it would be pretty diff for the villain to even call with worse, but could the villain bluff raise here? the fact he raises gets me thinking , if he had the A he either bets 3/4 pot himself or check's to try and induce, the latter is still a huge outside shot of check calling a bluff, but when he raises im figuring he either has the 6 or a hand we beat.
don't know if i'm leveling myself here with the rebluff theory, but its just like why raise the 3nd nuts there when all you wanted was to catch a bluff?
any thoughts?
keep up the good work, really enjoyed it.
goose.

I'm not sure which hand your talking about?

We actually have plans to try doing session reviews in the future. As far as usefulness, I think it depends on the level of the viewer. If a player is a beginner or has lots of preflop leaks, watching a live session is better. Also, it allows us to get into the mind game and read-based plays. On the other hand, you see much better hands in review sessions. We'll see how we like it.

Tc9d on Td7hQs8d6c If I remember correctly, he raised pre and checked back the flop? Called turn and the decision you're talking about is on the river? The problem with checking is that when he checks the flop and calls the turn the majority of his range is 7x and Tx which would check back the river unless he picked up two pair. I don't think he has air in this spot much at all.

8c7c on 5c6s9d3cAh Checking the river isn't all that bad here mostly because there aren't many hands that can call a river bet. On the other hand, there are many hands he can call the flop raise and turn bet with that wouldn't just check back the river. He doesn't have air here much so he can't bluff that often; therefore, I think betting is slightly better.

About the cbet sizing: If he is never folding on those boards, shouldn't we bet even BIGGER. If he's not folding let's take him to value town. Once we know he isn't folding on these boards we should just check/fold the flop or bet smaller on the flop so we have the ability to double and triple barrel decent sizes.

JsTs on 7c4s8c. I like c-betting this flop BECAUSE we have so much equity. There will be lots of good turn cards for us to bet and we also have the ability to float check/raises against loose players. Shoving the flop wouldnt be terrible because you don't have nearly enough fold equity and your an underdog against even bare FD's.

KdJd on 2dKh4c7s5d You have to consider that he never has a hand that will call a bet. What is he raising the flop with that will then call a river bet. He doesn't raise the flop with 55-QQ. The only way to get more money out of him is to allow him to bluff.

Thank U for your response. One word about the format: I didn't mean to select hands in a replayer. I like it, when the session is recorded and afterward we do the comments. This way we see all the dynamic and we have enough time to talk about the decisions.

44 minuttes in, im not sure i agree whit barrelin the dry turn there whit a set of fours, i think a checkraise might better considering your high C-bet% i see him turn alot of his peeling ranges into bluffs and semibluffs there.
