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

Can't get it to work

Hmmm, doesn't seem to want to load for me...

Looks to be similar problem that last Bottoset's video had, which DeathDonkey fixed pretty quickly - is he awake?

Go wake Emil - er I mean DD

I'll kick of serious discussion...I like whitelime's new FTP avatar - meta/level to induce?

That avatar really pisses me off for some reason. So if it's VS me, it would do it's job.

Yeh, n3wbs will definitely give the old lady some action (ewwwwwww!)

Bit annoying they don't check the videos as soon as they have been uploaded. You would think that would be a mandatory part of their quality control.

It's not that bad. They post the videos fairly early in the day IMO (I'm even from GMT+1, so that's in the afternoon for me), so it's not a big deal if it gets delayed for like an hour or something IMO.

Yeah, is that supposed to be Meryl Streep ?

i gave it 5 stars just because of the new avatar

Hey Guys, all just relax a bit, they will get it up when the boys wake up. It's 7AM, and I just sent Rob a text, I'll call him in the next 30 mins (not sure how happy his wife will be with that...) Anyway, USA vs China, men's basketball is about to start, so just chill out and watch that for a bit!

They don't show basketball here in denmark. rigged imo

Go wake up Entity! Go wake up Entity!

I'm gonna go watch that video now.

I find that the new penguin avatar is injected with the most run good. If you make the penguin get down to brass tacks and switch over to angry, not only does your already good luck get better, but your level of play will also increase. To take that even 1 step further, if you send your penguin to the beach, you can't lose a flip, beach scene + penguin = the nuts. So while everyone loves his avatar change, I believe he's missing out on some serious run good by going with perhaps a +ev avatar, but not the most +ev avatar + background combination.

oh yes.

And now I gotta change my avatar to the old lady too. :sadface: i hate this avatar

hahahahaha nice screen name

LOL hen! <3 that SN!

BOOM! Nh, DeathDonkey, nh!

Sorry guys, looks like we've got some bugs in our new code that need to be fixed. I've logged the bugs (fortunately for me, unfortunately for you, didn't have my phone next to me last night) and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again -- the filenames had characters in them that Amazon S3 apparently doesn't like (parenthesis).

wow this video is very impressive! Don't you think though that squeezing with the 62s when you have been running over the table and have a maniac image is just abit spewy?

lol @ the cousin who wants to be in the vid!

this vid is absolutely crazy
sick sick sick

lol IMRAZIN is the illest.

This video is awesome Emil, very sweet to see someone just running over everyone. When you had the 43cc early on against RoIIos and you c/red the river, what kind of characteristics are you looking for (be it board texture, opponent tendencies, etc) to c/r? You did a c/r again with K5 on the river when you rivered two pair and they bet both times.. but it seems like when I go for a river c/r they check back and I look silly. Maybe it's my image and the fact that I'm not "known", I'm not really sure.

zomg emil woke up

The most important ones are (1) is your opponent likely to bet the river or will he chk but possibly call a bet if you lead (2) how likely you are to have the best hand (3) how likely he is to call a c/r

Brilliant vid - lots of interesting situations and excellent explanations.

At 42x you call a 4bet ip w/ A2dd vs. masterhp and call his cbet on a J8dss flop and then bet the Qs turn after he checks to you saying, that a checkraise would be an awful. Could you please explain why this would be the case, may it be a checkraise for value or as a bluff?

Besides that it's very good video abput how to dominate and run over the table, but sometimes there where some not so good down times where you basically said nothing. 4 Tables might be better or otherwise fill out that time by talking theory, but it prolly does not matter as long as the content is as good as in this one.

A c/r bluff would be terrible b/c that card absolutely smacks my range. A c/r w/ like a straight or flush is not a bad play because I'll bet almost all two pair+ hands and stack off and also because I'll bluff that card a lot.

Whitelime isnt born a babbler, he makes great vids, let him be him, please.

Really good vid whitelime, really good commentry and your style is awesome.

When do we get whitelime back on a weekly basis? His vids are pure gold. Five stars from me.

I have tried to download the wmv file 3 times and got 15, 16, and 6 MB of it. I am downloading King for a Day and micro NL grinder right now with no problem. What am I doing wrong?

In the TT hand vs IMRAZIN, what's your standard there on the turn. You make it sound a little bit like you called his bet because of the read you had, but I feel like I would play it the same even without that read you had on him.

Btw, when I click the download link for the mp4, it downloads it in the browser for some reason, so I have to do save target as. It's not like this with videos from before last week or something. Thought I'd mention it.

Next Season fo sho (3 weeks)

just to clarify, some of the stuff you did in this vid seemed completely outrageous, even by your standards. I mean, coldcalling 34s against a 3-bet? is that really profitable? if so, I got a lot of work to do...

he was so deep that i think it is profitable

The QQ hand at 45 min,I dont really understand why you prefer inducing a bluff if he misses on the river than betting the turn ? Isnt there the same or more value in the bet ?

Pretty nice video, love that it's deep. There's a lot of spots where you say nothing at all though. Maybe try playing 4 tables next time, or preparing some concepts to explain for downtime, dunno.
I'll check out your other videos for sure though

This video is truly amazing. going for the check raise on the river, with such calm is just awesome. Slowing down with the QQ hand great. But the best part is with 79o: "i am going to defend this blind vs blind. And I flop top 2 pair here, so my play was clearly expert" - I LOL'd
Keep whitlime vids coming, truly amazed.

whitelime, in the QQ hand against imrazin 45 min in, you say he mostly has a draw when he flat calls your flop raise (I agree) - so why not bet/call, that type of player could easily c/shove a draw and the stacks were right for it, plus he so rarely slowplays something on a flop that wet with being so deep and u likely not bluff-raising his lead and therefore the only way ur in bad shape once he c/shoves turn is if he has TT and didn't re-pop it pf.

Also, you say ur calling a lead on a river since he'll likely bluff a draw but how many rivers are u actually willing to call a lead on? seems like a 3,4,A,K, any diamond and even a 9 aren't great cards. Finally, if ur calling on an offsuit ace or king river - y do u think he should be checking his AdXd on the river to you?

thx

5 stars yo!

also, I love how you had god mode turned on for this vid

I'm surprised no comments on the 62s call of the c/shove. I thought that was a particularly bad call against his range. It sounded like you almost wanted to 'merge your callingrange'.


edit: maybe I'm mistaken because even against a higher fd you still have a decent amount of equity.

Best Whitelime video to date! It seems like you consciously took an effort to improve your videos from the suggestions on the forums(more commmentary and better analysis) and it really shows.

My standard is definitely to prob c-c again except against the nittiest of nits, but I wanted to point out how helpful seeing him play that earlier QQ hand was in making this decision.

he was so deep that i think it is profitable

Yeah, being this deep, I think it's fine. I might have spewed a bit preflop, but I wanted to get into more interesting spots postflop.

We're getting almost 2:1 on this one if I'm not mistaken, and we almost have that much equity against a higher FD which is the worst hand we can be up against. A lot of times we are going to be 45-50%.

The QQ hand at 45 min,I dont really understand why you prefer inducing a bluff if he misses on the river than betting the turn ? Isnt there the same or more value in the bet ?

This might have been a mistake. I think it's close and betting might be better but another factor that led me to check that I might not have mentioned is that there's also a chance he slowplayed something big against my flop raise not wanting to put in a 3-bet since we're so deep.

Check my last post for my answer to the first part. I probably would fold to a bet on the worst rivers...the ones that complete a bunch of draws. The ones that are somewhat scary I'd probably close my eyes and call. I think he should be checking the A, b/c he really can't expect to get value from much. Almost everyone bets QQ again on the turn and other than that I will either have hands that have a better kicker w/ the A, or ones that have no SD value and the only value he can get is by inducing a bluff.

really bad sound quality and video doesnt work after like 20 minutes wtf

Try redownloading. If you're from Europe, try using a download manager. The video works fine and the audio fidelity isn't perfect (Emil's mic had some issues and we've bought him a new one since then), but is definitely not really bad at all.

best ghost yet imo

I just re-downloaded it. Works perfectly. I am using Firefox 3 from the USA.

Best video ive seen so far on the site, how much did you end up winning? It seemed like an absurd amount for such few hands.

Such an awesome video! The stats on the left table would have been normal for HU. Poor cousin.

Just joined this site and was pleased with this video. I'm not really feeling the shove with 5-9s at 32 minutes, though. Yes, whitelime sucked out, and the initial raiser probably should have folded to the shove with AQ, but I have a hard time seeing this play as being +ev for whitelime with 5-9s.

whitelime, on the AA @22 min, what would you have done if villain raised you river bet? Is it a standard fold?

Yeah, unless you have a specific read, I don't think most players bluff raise in a spot like that.

i lol'd alot and felt bad for ur cousin, sick vid

siiick video, i neeed more msnl ghost series. the only thing i would say that isn't 100% positive is that while i understand you are trying to get into tough spots, see a lot of flops, and showdown/win a lot of hands for the viewers, please don't feel the need to try and win every pot, specifically 3b and 4b pots. granted it makes for excellent entertainment and some learning value, but there is also a negative aspect of this that i feel rubs off on my own play sometimes. and this isn't just you whitelime, most of the msnl vids done by hsnl players do it to some extent. i mean is it that bad to just fold to turtleicious 3/4 cbet after he 3bets you for the first time all session oop and isn't that deep? (48min) also as someone else mentioned squeezing 62s after running over the table like a maniac and obv. starting to get no respect. like you could just explain that a squeeze in that spot is often a very good play, and why, but without actually having to do it yourself due to the image you've created.

i feel like if the money "mattered" to you during these videos you might play a little differently. or maybe i just need to do a better job of separating some of the plays between entertainment/observational learning and how i actually play. it's just something to consider, and even with that said i give this a 5/5, very well done.

Time Link to 00:22:40

AA hand table 1,

you said you are more likely to barrel turn if you had black AA without the nut FD draw, why is that?
