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

Here you go guys. Sorry for the tardiness and thanks as always for the patience.

PS - first IMO

SHIP IT!!! Highlight of every week for me.

The AKs OOP about 17.30, what sort of player or dynamic would you be looking for to make you want to continue with the hand? If you did want to continue OOP in a 3bet pot is the plan always to work out a range to 4b/call or can we call with suited connector or suited broadway type hands with plan to check/jam certain flops.

I'm not a fan of flatting three bets out of position without serious history/information about your opponent. You'll almost always be outplayed otherwise.

hey Nolan real fast wanted to say the audio is a few seconds delayed (about 5 - 7) about 40% into the video, I'm streaming it if that makes any difference.

comments after, goodjob on this series Nolan, shaping up to look pretty good

these are some of the best videos on the site imo.

I always learn something new from your videos. It helps to see that you are comfortable folding AK oop to a 3bet from a tight regular. I have been calling some of the time and hating my options postflop.
I'd like to emulate the way you stay calm and composed while playing- I've noticed moreso in other videos when you lose a hand. Do you have advice for someone who goes on tilt after losing even 2-3 buy-ins other than work with a larger bankroll?

We know I love big bankrolls.

I just play a lot of volume and I think I've seen a lot of bad runs in my time. I tend to have a -20 bi downer every 150k hands or so, even at FR. I think playing other games (specifically HU NLHE or PLO) can desensitize you to money swings a bit.

However, I think the biggest thing is confidence in your game, which unfortunately only comes with time. The more confident I am in my overall ability, the less upset I get when I lose, as naturally I feel better about my opportunities to recover in the near future.

Basically, I think experience is the only thing that will help you become accustomed to tilt/losing etc.

Playing over-rolled I also find helps somewhat.

It's probably worth noting, that I just recently had my first ~20 bi downer at PLO. I noticed I was far more tilted/upset about this than I would have been at NLHE and I can attribute it almost solely to confidence. I'm much more so a newb at PLO than I am at NLHE and I think the aspect of me having to question my play a lot more and not be sure of my ability at PLO has caused me to be more frustrated than I would be in NLHE.

So to beat a dead horse, experience and volume is key in learning how to best deal with tilt.

Hi,

great episode! However, I wouldn't mind spending the last minutes or so going through sessions stats, what you where running, interesting hands, etc., in your PT/HEM database. Could be a valuable way of ending the episode IMHO. Just an idea.

Edit: Which I now noticed you do/did in other videos, would love to see it in theese series too tho.

How is table selection affected by megatabling both before a session and during a session? Is it feasible to 24-table and select, too?

I think it is, but obviously is much less of an issue than if you were playing shorthanded.

There are still a few tables here and there that I will reject as I set up. Generally when I decide to mega-table I'll wait list every single full table, then pop open all the tables with an open seat. I'll go through those and any table I consider undesirable I will close out. I re-check the lobby every 15 minutes or so to see if these tables have improved.


You don't always have to do this though.

great series nolan!!

I have one question:
on the 99 hand where you flopped a set IP while villain flopped TPTK on the draw heavy board... say we were in villains shoes, do we ship it in like he did all day long? or how would you play against a reg? I think vs. a donkish guy its an easy 4bet/call but I am not sure aboutn tight/TAG player

thx,

Hi,


Enjoyed the video and am enjoying the series. I have a question about Bankroll management. You talk about the 20 Buy In rule. You also state that you prefer to be over bankrolled. I myself prefer to be over bankrolled but there is little information about how you should approach this subject as a multitabler. I figure that you probably should just add on an extra buy in for every extra table. So if I multi-table 10 tables then I should have a minimum of 30 buy ins. However one of my friends believes you should have 20 Buy ins for every table. So that would be 200 Buy ins for a 10 table session. I think my friends suggestion is way too tight, but I am curious about what you would regard as optimal for somebody who wants to multitable, but with the comfort of bankroll leverage. Also does multi-tabling affect when you should drop down or move up? Could you suggest some basic rules of thumb here?

cheers,

I just wrote out a huge post here explaining it, but I've decided to delete it and give you a link to someone's article instead: http://www.splitsuit.com/Articles%20-%20Moving%20Up%20(JH1).htm

That link seems to no longer exist. I'd love to read a discussion of the multitabling/bankroll question - is the article posted elsewhere?

Nolan, or someone, could you provide some insight on this? What do we do in this spot with TPTK?

Bump

Again: Great series. Love it that you handle so many topics in one vid. Definately gonna have to watch this one over since i'm about to move on up one of the days this week.

Thanks

It's extremely opponent specific, I can't provide a concrete answer.

at 51:45ish you fold T8o in the SB vs 2 limpers. Why? Seems weaktight.

Can anyone tell me how obselete this video is compared to todays games. I play 25nl and the tables are almost exclusively regulars and maybe 1 shortstack noob.

+1 for someone clarifying the relevance of this video for todays game please. Though I must say it is a very good vid but would be even better if we could have some insight as to how applicable it is in todays micros/small stakes, cheers.
