Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by sthief09 (Mid Stakes)

I rly liked this one, but please stop discussing things you know nothing about, Ipoker network as a whole is the third largest site now, much much bigger than party and not much behind the two big US sites, so claiming party is more mainstream is rly rly lol

i don't believe he said it was more mainstream. just that it was.

I don't like checking the turn with JT at 16:10.

fair enough, i try to ramble a little at the beginning but you're right, i have no clue about sites other than FTP and stars a little.

i don't remember exactly what i said in the video, but the way i look at it, he called the flop with 1 of 3 hands: better made hand (AJ-QJ, sets), worse made hand (TT-55, J9s), draws (65 or flush draw, maybe A2s/A5s). we're still losing to better made hands, which probably still don't fold, with the exception of maybe QJ or KJ no spade sometimes. draws obviously don't fold because they basically all got there. we protect our hand if he has something like 88 with a spade, but since he likely won't turn that into a bluff, why shouldn't we check it back and fold the river? we're probably behind something like 80% of his range at this point, making protecting our hand a pretty unattractive and unnecessary option in my eyes.

is this player a winner at 2/4? like you said, there were some pretty gaping leaks...

That's exaclty What I was thinking.

Im sry if it came off a bit harsh, I realize you have to talk about smthg otherwise 20901910 ppl with ADD come in complaining that there wasnt enough talk like in whitelime vids

and agreed with everyone else, theres some pretty glaring leaks, but party is soft

I never played 2/4 and was still like..uhhh is this guy taking shots?

curious about the 88 hand toward the beginning (not sure of specific time, sorry). U raised 88 early and got two callers. Loose player in blinds donked small into you (like 12 into 40ish or something) on a 99x board. You say that calling is correct b/c u dont want to get 3 bet bluffed, which would be bad poker). Usually, though, in this spot, the donker will rarely have a hand that beats u. So why not bump it up close to pot (which we might do w/o a hand sometimes, right (AK-AQ, air)? or is that bad?) to protect our hand from possible 6 outers that either player might have? And likely if we're 3 bet, we can comfortably fold (unless opponent is super crazy, maybe then call and let him bluff). I'm not sure why raising here is bad, since we very likely our best, but w/ a vulnerable hand.

At 22:40 are we potting the flop with KQs and shoving turn or are we going 55% pot and leading the turn the same % if we miss/hit?

I think my standard amount a super-coordinated flop like this is 3/4 pot. I'd likely shove the majority of turns if called.

I don't recall if I mentioned it in this vid, but c/r is a pretty attractive option to me. I c/f so often there that I can collect a bet from some bluffs. Also, if he checks back with a pair+draw type hand that's a good result.
