Ok guys, this was thrown together quickly and I cannot thank Dog and Googs enough for being able to do it on last minute. So if I seem a little off my game, I am but you will quickly see that DogIsHead is a fucking poker genius, watch out world here comes the Dog, imo!

Wow,
Excellent video. I was reallly impressed with Dogishead. He has a very very good poker brain and can explain insights brilliantly.
Loved the bit with the pocket fours, in relation to polarising your ranges. Really insightfull.

Mr Tall, Googs, Dog,
Excellent video, I was literally on the edge of my seat, but perhaps thats because I had the volume down so low.
dogishead, I am a low stakes limit player who is just now starting to play some NL.
You have a new fan, me.
You seem to have trouble with the math, but are an excellent reader of players, and have a PHD in ranges. This leads to my question.
How did you get so good at ranges? how do you study them? I have tons of trouble thinking in ranges, can you help?

bring Late Night Coaching back next season!
It will be back-ish in some form (I think a mini-series for now, as I have a mix-series coming up). I may never stop doing them tbh, till I get all the coaches in on it. The one big issue is they are a lot to coordinate, 3-people, 3-different time zones (I'm on the West Coast, so sometimes is Europe, East Coast and me) and then there is the audio/internet issues as it takes some computing power to pull it off.
With a few weeks left in the WSOP, I have to postpone them a bit and hopefully pick it up after.
I am glad you guys like them, I have fun in them and I love doing them once it is all set up.

~38 minute mark, the AJ hand in SB facing BTN raise. Flop is JJ5. We chk, BB checks, BTN bets.
Isn't this a better flop to lead rather than C/R? I think leading disguises your hand better so you can get more value on later streets. With a lead you can represent a mid-pp betting for protection and it falls in line with the pre-flop action.
A c/r into 2 opponents on this board turns our hand face up I believe. Our c/r range would be something like flush draws, JX, and 55. Most of our big flush draws we reraise PF so we're repping a pretty narrow range.

JT told me about this video and I have to agree, it's awesome. I have played a lot of NL, but the way Dog thinks isn't the way I've ever thought about it. Sweet. Looking forward to more from him. Also expecting to say "I knew him way back when..."
I learned a lot. A lot! (Lot of replay value in this one, too.)

Hey, what would have been your play on the flop when that guy on the button bets $3 and your in the sb w/ AJ and you said to 3bet pf; Had the flop been something like K 10 2 rainbow? What would it have been if it was like K 10 2 with 2 suited cards? Is it normal to c-bet the flop if u 3 bet and got called pf.

I decided to watch this based on the recommendation by Joe. Pretty good video. Unlike a lot of the posters here, the 44 analysis was fairly standard. Polarizing the reraising range is pretty standard IMO and I am NOT a great player by any means... However, I did start with .50/1.00 NL 6max (I used to be a FR player playing up to 5-10NL level and then converted to 6 max) and now play a lot of 2-4NL 6 max. However, at the 2-4nl level, I am getting pwned. After tens of thousands of hands, I am barely profitable. My BB/100 is a disgraceful .58BB/100.
I was more impressed with the thought in the hand where he has QT and the concept of checking behind on the flop instead of cbetting/calling a shove. Personally though, I am still on the same boat as Joe where I feel like QTs is a harder hand to play than a hand like T9s because if you hit, it's still very likely that you are dominated because it hits the opponent's range (esp a TAG) so hard and if it does, more often than not, you're dominated...
Generally though, these vids seem a little too amateurish. Are late night coaching sessions meant to be for amateur+ or is it mainly because of the lower stakes?

Late Night Coaching was meant to be a above beginner, but not advanced, add the "why?" to a lot of hands, add the questions a lot of SS players are afraid to ask, showcase our awesome team, and have some fun while doing it.

From my experience you will get as many folds with a 29/30 bet as you get with a 33 reraise. The reason for 3B kinda small is that you still gonna have pretty much the same fold equity, the most common scenario is 5B shove or fold. I very seldom see call in this spot. So by 3B 29/30 we acomplish 2 things. We can bluff cheaper so that we can fold with out feeling commited and when we 3B for value we give or opponent the feeling that he has fold equity on a 4B bluff. Am I thinking in the wrong way here? I play 0.5/1 its maybe diffrent at higher stakes.

You are not thinking that off. What is important, and this is more important that a RR size is that the best line w/T9s is calling.
