Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by bottomset (Micro/Small Stakes)

Good stuff!
I don't know if I shove the QQ hand there though...
Which is contradictory because I normally have to watch your videos to remind myself how spewy I am

ha, yeah its probably a little too spewy, and I like it more on a KKx board than a AAx board, but random halfstackers spazz out constantly

16:50 Why do you fold KQo on table 1 in MP1 position?

I generally don't open KQo till mp2, I doubt I'm giving up much if anything folding there, a poster + limper makes it likely to be a multiway pot but KQo doesn't play well in multiway pots, especially without position

Every reg that watches this video, if you learn only one thing from this vid learn to be just like bottomset and ONLY START DEEP AND 50BB TABLES!!!!!!!

About 30 minutes in fish minraise, fish flats, u 3bet with AK to $11, fish in the blind cold calls the 3bet, original pfr flats the 3bet. Both have around 50BB effective stacks. You flop basically the nuts for ur hand and of course are more than happy to get it in. All very standard. Here is what blew my mind:

Pot is $36, it gets checked to you and you bet 1/3 pot. Because of both players effective stack sizes and the fact that they seem to be pretty bad means that were more than happy to get it. However by betting 1/3 pot we allow them to bluff shove or call with a medium PP type hand and possibly donk shove the turn. Oh, and does the fact that you have position on both of them change your betsize here? If you were in the SB and it was the same situation would u still be donk leading/cbetting 1/3 pot? My thoughts inline?

Hey bottomset, loved your vid as always especially your unique constructs:'check-it-down-value' and 'please-check-it-down-mode'

Keep it up

Hey know this doesn't deal with the play in the video, but how do you get HEM to work on 50 BB min tables on Stars? While the hands import for me I can't get the stats to show up at HU tables.

do you have the newest version?

Probably not I'll give that a try

At 6:21 you limped behind w/44 in MP and then get raised to $6 by the cutoff. There is a cold call from the button and it comes back to you and you folded. I would usually call here to set-mine because it's 3-way and we have good relative position to the raiser post-flop.
Is that a leak that I should tighten up?
Effective stack size was $109, there was already $15.50 in the pot and you had to call an extra $5. Does getting "oversetted" play into the thinking here?

This please.

It was interesting to see the patience you displayed against that min/3-better/flop potter when HU against him. I start a lot of tables and I would've definitely played back at him, esp with the TJs hand, I'd probably 4 bet call a shove there. Honestly I'm not sure thats too bad against nuts like that. FWIW, he did seem to be getting hit with the deck, but I definitely don't like let them keep doing that.

The way you dealt with it was very instructional for me. From a low variance/tiltless perspective, its probably more +ev than my approach, esp if you plan on playing a long session and want to stay cool. I'm not sure what tilt's me more though, losing a stack because you don't back down to him, or having him leave after he owns you for about 25 hands.

This. After your last vid I tried starting some tables and ran into a few of these donkcity 15-hand-hit-and-run guys and I wasn't quite sure what to do. Thanks for vid.

One thought: playing passively against these donkcity guys may encourage more loose passive fish to join the HU table. Conversely, a lot of aggression may attract the aggrodonks. WDYT?

~36:50, 55 turned set: you value overbet shove the river on a J3452 board. Which weaker hand do you think will call that bet or which stronger hand will fold?

If you'd have 22 I'd think there might be some higher sets which will fold, but 55 looks like top-set to me, cause he's allmost never having JJ here considering his actions.

I don't see any TP/Overpair or TwoPair hand call here..

Interesting hand on table #1, where you held QdJd vs his K6 off suit, were you ever worried on the river if he had a full house at all??
