Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by whitelime (High Stakes)

whitelime imo

Why dont you have auto-muck on?

RSI sucks.

Good vid although i hope your next season has you and someone else i think you need someone picking your brain to get the great insight you have out into words.

so I was very disappointed with your first videos (like 1-3), but I must say I am impressed by how you stepped up to a genuinely top-notch level videoproducer.
congratulations whitelime, your last 3 or 4 videos have really been awesome, making lime-aid probably the best series of this season, tied with king for a day I would say.

I really hope you got something planned for next season.

Whitelime's going to be taking next season off (like WiltOnTilt did this season) but we'll get him to do a Ghost or two during to keep y'all happy. I'm really glad that this series made a turnaround for ya'll because with the quality of Emil's play and his ability to analyze hands, I was a little bit afraid that the series was going to go unnoticed given how the first two turned out.

Rob

this was a great series (one of my favorites so far) and I'm pretty sad to hear that he's taking the coming season off.

Emil for PRESIDENT!

The word of the day is "merit." Joking aside, this was the best video of the series, imo.

sip it

I have some comments to make on 2 hands...

The JTo hand when you 3bet and flop came AQT, you end up explaining why checking behind is reasonable. I would always check behind because I think he's calling with anything better than JT and folding anything worse, so we're losing value when he calls or raises with the best hand. So why did you bet?

The A6s hand with K99 on the flop, you just folded when he raised, but I would like to have had some extra thoughts on it. I would certainly consider 3bet shoving the flop. In fact, I would be more likely to bluff shove when he raises than to barrel if he calls. That's because I think he's more likely to just call anything TT or better, so raising is very polarized to a bluff on a flop that he knows that you will miss very often (you 3bet a lot on that table before). And also, he may know/thing that you will always bet when you miss but sometimes check TT or better.

I really liked the series but as a general comment I think that you could use some of the dead time to add some extra thoughts. For example, with what range would you do one thing or another, how do you play in a certain spot, what is your plan to exploiting one or another type of opponent, etc; that could be inspired by the hands on the video but also could be something that you decide to talk about during the video.

Having said that, congratulations for the series. I'll look forward to see more of your videos.

Well.. Emil is not the biggest entertainer in the world... Poker player.. well maybe... Not too much trivial chat... thanks..

Both of the comments you make are very reasonable/smart.

The JT spot is one where even if he calls better hands, we can potentially get him to fold on later streets. Being deep is nice for betting in this spot. This is a board where we are rarely getting c/r'd as a bluff so we can fold easily to a raise. Checking is very reasonable but I think the only card we really want to bink on the turn is a T. You can probably come up with similar scenarios where there are more than 2 cards in the deck we can hit on the turn and win a big pot where checking is definitely better.

The A6 hand I definitely agree that it's odd for him to raise. If we were deeper, I think there's merit to clicking it back as his range is even more polarized but 100 bbs deep he can raise-call good K's as well as 9's. He can have a flush draw here too and it's nice that we have A high but we are getting such a poor price on our shove. I'm sure you can work out how often he has to fold and what our equity generally is when called and I just don't think it adds up to a +EV play.

Great job Whitelime. Really like the hypotheticals and the general discussion flowing from the actual hands played.

thnx for the series whitelime, really enjoyed it. i liked the way you say what u would do in sertain spots and all your hand analysis.

i wondered if you could answer this question though: i play 50-100NL and have been told that bluff 3betting broadway gets you into trouble post-flop when you have a dominated hand. but all through the series youv been 3betting it, i just wondered why you like broadway, or if its just you would 3bet in some spots anyway regardless of your hand?

thnx
