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

great

top quality content

Loving this series.

Chuck I think you have a different styles than DD, you talk about your decision each hand in more details (or maybe just slower) and what are the pros and cons. You don't cover as much ground per minute, but it's very useful to hear your thought process.

DD's videos are awesome of course *insert your HUHU results here*, this series is the perfect complement IMO.

Do you buyin for 10 big bets yourself so that you don't scare off any 10BB fish?


If you did the standard thing and bought in for let's say $500+, do you think that might scare them off? If so, good strategy because you seem to attract those guys in this vid!!

Oh man. This series and the new donkey one makes me wish that I was still a member. I have free stox until october so I cant really justify it.

I can relate to thechuck more than I can relate to thebryce.

Well if you use the auto top up on full tilt, you can just buy in for 12 BB and it will automatically top up your stack if you go under 12 BB and therefore you won't be scaring off any fish.
But I don't think 10 BB fish get scared off by bigger stacks. They know they're an underdog, they just want to make a quick buck and leave, if possible. They are extremely profitable opponents. Although the 5 BB fish I don't play. Their stacks are too shallow.

In my experience, fish are not scared by big stacks. In fact, they are attracted to big stacks since that gives them the prospect to win a lot.

Top marks for an outstanding video on an extremely important topic in HULHE. Your explanations were very clear and concise.

I just noticed that DeathDonkey played RammerJr (Chucks last opponent) in his Mano a Mule series Episode 7. If any of you are interested, you can compare if DD and Chuck made similar reads and what kind of adjustments they made to him.

Hi Chuck,

Nice video. I have a question about the adjustments that you made to villain #2. He was really fit or fold on the flop. You adjusted by raising any 2 cards on the button and by firing oop 100% of the time after he open limped pre-flop.

When I get an opponent like this, I also tend to start opening my raising range pre-flop when he only completes since it punishes him for playing weak tight on the flop and we make more money this way. Obv, when you start to do this the villain may adjust to you by no longer limping in, but coming in for a raise which would be sort of problematic because we do not want to force him into making correct plays. How do you manage such a trade off? I mean we want to punish him for his mistakes, but not so much that he stops making them in the first place.

I noticed that you did not really raise his limps that often, but rather adjusted by firing 100% on the flop. Do you feel this is the best way to exploit such a player?

You'll notice my commentary in this vid and any other - as soon as my strategy doesn't work - even if it's me stabbing the flop, him calling, and me c/f'ing the turn (NOT the end of the world) - I immediately perk up and say "well now I'm going to be on the lookout for him to adjust".

I find it's MORE the case w/bad players adjusting WAYYY too quickly than good players, because they are often the ones to auto assume.

You kind of answered the question yourself though - you discussed 2 separate ways to exploit a weak tight opponent - in thsi video I was not raising pf and donking the flop. If that stopped working, say he started floating me, I could just start raising pf to generate more postflop fold equity.

I find the postflop line a lot more effective personally, but that doesn't mean I don't raise pf in that spot on occasion. I just find people are much more stubborn in a raised pot - assuming that because they limped I am raising wayyyy wide, which means they call the flop, regardless of ranges.

lol whats the point of these videos you just run like god lol

interesting concepts tho ty sir for all my frustration this is a solid series

edit: I actually would be interested in a HU video where we deal with a cold run of cards. Seems more interesting IMO than just "binging" the nuts every hand.

lol there are plenty of those! I don't always run good I swear.

Hi,

just watched the video for the second time.
I know I'm a newbie and maybe it's a stupid question but I still ask him:

The second guy in this video, the loose passive guy who is hitting everytime a pair on the board (low, middle or top) and is then calling down.
Is there anything you can do about this or is it playing your normal game, hoping he loses his luck?

I thought of 2 things:

- Limping on the button to get the pots smaller when you don't hit any pair.
- Widing your BB raise after a button limp (when he is limping the button).

I hope you can explain this to me

Thanks and great video's!

Holadijee,

I don't think there is a short answer to your question. However for your questions maybe you should figure out what your opponent will do when he miss rather than he hits. If he has a pair I assume he's pretty much never folding.

Therefore, if he has a person who will fold a lot of flops I will raise more both in and out of position, but a lot more in position (because it's easier to control pot size if he refuses to fold).

On the other hand, if he is going to call down a lot I think you should raise less in both cases. Therefore I don't see why you will want to limp at the button less but raise your BB more.

Of course, there are also villains will play completely different in and out of positions but that's a discussion for another day.

On the other hand, if he is going to call down a lot I think you should raise less in both cases. Therefore I don't see why you will want to limp at the button less but raise your BB more.

Hello, thanks for your reaction.

The two things I wrote were OR OR and not AND.
But I'm a newbie so I can easily be wrong with my thoughts

Limping on the button as I mentioned isn't a great idea against this opponent though?

And I meant with widing you BB Raise range from the BB that maybe the button limper will fold his bad cards.

But, on the other hand, when I'm reading this I'm totally wrong?
