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

Short but sweet nice vid. Hope you get back gets sorted gl

Enjoyed the video, I really have to work on this alot more. I don't consider game flow, image and meta game enough at all, sometimes I totally forget to think about it!

I'm not sure how big your sample size is concerning 'big winners' but the 2nd guy folds to c-bet 73.5% which is a massive leak and is super exploitable by any semi competent reg.

It's a huge sample size, probably 20 thousand hands or more, does stick out as a bit of a sore thumb though.

What is a sore thumb? oops, english is not my first language.

Well if this stat is for real then that is another example of a big winner having some pretty big leak (which is good us as it means the games are still good and very beatable). The biggest example that comes to my mind is that mustanginno guy on pokerstars (not sure if I can name people, just delete it if not, my point remains) who plays a lot of midstakes fullring, he is a pretty big winner but he opens 100% of SB, when I say 100% its literally 100%, but he never adjust at all>> if you 3-bet him 100% of the time when he opens his SB into you BB that guy will keep raising 72o and such which is obviously atrocious. Still he must be very good in some other areas of the game cuz he wins a lot of money.

In my experience playing midstakes, fullring regs have a lot more often immediately exploitable leaks than 6-max regs. Sometimes it is folding way too much to 3-bets, sometimes its betting 90%+ when check to on flop. There are a few recurrent leaks that you can exploit effectively if you pay enough attention.
I think it's probably because they play alot more tables than the 6-max guys on average so they have a standard strategy and dont deviate much from it.

Oh, and another thing that I see in fullring games and almost never in 6-max is open miniraising the small blind first to act, which I'm convinced is a fundamentally bad play. I can see why they are doing this, as most opponents wont adjust enough, will keep folding too much and generally wont make their life very difficult.

Thanks for the video series! I've enjoyed them and have got a lot out of your vids.

My question is how do you decipher a player type if his stats aren't within the ranges you've given? I know you said these ranges aren't "gospel" and I understand that. But for instance, how would you rate a player that is 21/11? Would you label him a LAG based on his VPIP or a TAG based on his PFR? A thought I had was to make another type/color called "big gapper" but this could range anywhere from a 13/2 to a 25/7. Just wondering what your thoughts were on these types of players. Thanks!

I pretty much lump a person playing 21/11 in with my weaker opponents and treat them as a loose passive till I see otherwise. They can be very hard to put into one cat and creating another for them is probably correct.

Keep in mind I don't find myself playing these player types often in mid stakes games. Some of these player can be weak regulars just not playing as well as they could be.
