Yeah, part 2 goes a little better, the whole session gives you a pretty good idea of the variance involved.

c'mon will NLHU players have any reasons to be sucbried any more?

Yes, after part 2 my next 2 duel videos will be HUNL.

seems a lil close minded imo. its possible PLO might make u see things that could help ur nl game

When you laern a new game such as plo, there's alot of things you can pick up and carry over to nl. Specifically, experimenting with leading in PLO can open up tons of new lines you can use in NL.

It is also extreeemely +ev to have 2 games b/c when one is going poorly instaed of taking a break altogether you can switch games and not miss out on the fishmoney.

I could learn bridge then and it would probably help my game too, why even bother making videos of different games then?can't dc just hire one produces who would make Stud vids and everybody could learn from it.

wrong side of the bed this morning?

Also im sure hearing a high stakes reg talk about poker PLO or NL isnt going to exactly hinder anyone

wrong side of the bed this morning?

no, not at all, its just seems that this season is a bit unbalanced, so putting my voice out there.

There's no NLHU series this season, and the heads up day gets mixed with plo(and maybe with limit too?), seems a lil unfair.Everyother games has its own series, why not heads up?

Sorry for trolling plo vids tho, I'm trying to learn plo too and love those vids but again, I don't pay for plo I pay for NLHU, and in past DC has produced good NLHU series constantly, but this season looks pretty bad for NLHU players.

bleh...Originally I joined DC because it had great FL content (just before the merge with 3bet) and it was pretty much the only site with decent razz/mixed games content (although not enough, but then nobody had enough).

I still don't play much NL, but I've learned a lot from watching videos of all the games. So much of it is transferrable, it's silly to miss out on ideas that might improve you just because it's not 'your game'.

I feel a bit aggreived that there's virtually no razz content these days, but there's only so much room, and there's a lot of games to fit in, so it's understandable.

I somewhat agree with simonpoker here... I enjoyed watching this video and it made play some HUPLO for the first time, but I still think there should be one series dedicated to HU NL.

Given that DC has a lack of HUPLO vids, I really do not think this complaint is valid.

IRRELEVANT.

PLO is far more popular than stud is. PLO content is scarce as is.

Theres like a ton of HU NL videos everywhere, Deuces cracked is probably the best place for HU PLO content and we only have like 8 videos. More HU PLO IMO.

2 color deck tilts me so much

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I thought I'd try to comment on the actual video, hope that's okay.

22K9 hand:

Another reason to bet the river for somewhat thin value is that he just peeled your bluff on a xxQQ board with a naked over pair a few hands earlier and you showed down your one pair raggedy hand so he saw you bluffed, a little different because in that hand you checked the flop, fired the turn and checked the river, but it could be a factor in how light he looks you up.

on a side note I like the video. Maybe more so since you are still learning and getting comfortable with the dynamics of the game and different opponents. The dual commentary helps a lot here since we get your reasoning and a more experienced players thoughts as well. GL and ship the next video!

oh and the site you guys were talking about might be www.propokertools.com omaha simulator http://www.propokertools.com/simulator/omahaSimulationEditor.jsp

Left side table 6QQ flop:

Do you check the flop because he can call with any heart draw or any Q or any boat and would firing the flop either commit us to fire the turn and river or give up? I guess checking the flop is good, idk. If you did cbet the flop and got called, can you check the turn and fire a non heart river or do you fire a non heart turn and still check back the river or just give up if called on the flop?

I notice in a few hands against this player you seemed to always bet the flop when you had the trips on paired boards but checked back without them, could be situation specific but just something I noticed.

Yeah, it's something I've started to notice as a trend when I reviewed my play. Also, agreed with your first point in your first post.

As for the actual hand, in my limited experience in HUPLO it seems as though opponents at this level will always fire the turn if they have trips and if they c/c it's usually with some sort of overpair or draw. I was planning on firing any non-heart river there figuring he didn't have a queen, but then I picked up SD value with the jack so I decided against it.

I figured some of his range was overpairs but I put much more of his range on some sort of draw, so when I picked up the SD value on the river I didn't see any reason to turn my hand into a bluff.

Not sure if this is flawed thinking, I'll have ugotabanana comment on it as well.

No I don't think it's flawed. I have limited HUPLO experience myself, but I think draws are a much bigger part of his range than over pairs and so I think checking behind is good most of the time. Another thing that just came to my mind though is firing the river to balance your range for the times you do have the Q or even 66 or something.

I agree that checking is probably going to be +EV but I think betting is probably better, between the times he folds the over pair, the times you have the nuts and the majority of the time when he has a busted draw your going to win either just as much or more.

Let me know if my logic is off, I'm still learning this poker thing.

What br amount do you guys recommend for HU PLO?

What br amount do you guys recommend for HU PLO?

I'm new at this but I'd recommend at least 50, with no stop losses I can imagine +/- 10 BI days being routine.
