Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by DeathDonkey (Mid Stakes)

Great series guys. Helps me a bit in my preparation to try out live games as well.

I am so pumped for both of your next series'. I will be even more pumped if I make an appearance in DD's vids.

Thanks a lot for your excellent work.

Holy crap - 41:00 vs. Scorpian5000 (lol) that was such a sick call with Q high. DD is like "people are gonna think i'm crazy and....... there it is" as he shows J7 for his busted double gutter.

45:00 - you guys check raise the river when you hit your TPTK - and then fold to a 3 bet? He cold called your 3 bet PF, cold called your flop bet, and then bet when you checked on the turn 7 on a 52279 flush draw board. Does this seem that much like 77 to you guys? Is it possible he has a worse 9 that bluffed the turn? I'm not sure what the read was on that guy and you didn't have HEM running so I didn't see what his Aggression factor was.

You check raise/fold to 3 bet on the river. I'm sure in the long term that check raise line adds lots of value because villain can't always have a set or overpair from a BTN steal, and I guess there's no way you thought he would 3/bet there right? - but do you ever just check/call that river? I mean - what if he showed you Q9 or K9 that decided to bluff the turn and you just folded the best hand? I know that seems really weak just calling top pair on the river, but it kind of sucks that you check raise the river and you HAVE to fold. Or how about betting out?

And why not C-Bet the turn with 2 overs and nut flush draw? Thanks for any thoughts guys. This hand really confused me. Awesome season!

DD, Danza...excellent vid and series gentlemen!

DD, the read to make the QT call is worth the price of admission.
You quickly recognized the possibility and gave it "proper" consideration.
WOW...

he is a player who is c/c'ing his pairs,(is this the part that if I was able to see it quickly, I would no longer think you are a poker god?)
he plays damn near any two.
the turn card presents many draws...FD and some STR.
we pray the K missed him,
and call given good enough odds, as per the non-typical range we have now assigned.

we use this read(if I got it right) to narrow his range,
or punctuate part of his range enough to make what appears to be a crazy call.

I just cant wait to see what you guys do next....life is good.

Loved the video guys. Great job!

Remember that sick line you described (check-call, bet-3bet, check-raise)
Preferably against people who value bet very thin against you?

Well I gave it a go at French microlimits where the opponent was a 60/40 after 40 hands and superaggro postflop.

I'm not sure it was a really good play in that spot but it was definitely a lot of fun!

Great series, guys. A lot of fun. Nice to see that the players aren't all that much better at 5/10. Still a lot of donkeys, donkeys with money.
