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

great title

backdoor flushdraw is 1.7 outs and you said you get it run it twice so you counted it as 7-8pct equity.
this isnt true since you're not going for 1 card twice but for 'perfect' 'perfect' so instead of 1.7x4 its 1.7x1 or something

i hope i made some sence cause im bad at explaining stuff >.<

i'm pretty sure you are wrong
BDFD = 10 outs on turn and THEN 9 outs on river, not one out on turn and one on river

for ex.
K K vs K K

board 2 3 4
47.72% equity for K K
52.27% equity for K K
so it got 4.55% chance for BDF
i haven't seen the vid yet, so i'm not sure you are talking about this

backdoor flush draw is definitely not 8%. In this situation you have only one club so its 10/47 * 9/46 = 4.1%. Good vid tho.

well yea it was like that that i ment it
just wanted to point out that they shouldnt 4x the outs to find the win% chance with a bd flushdraw

On the second hand what if the river is an offsuit 2, is there more merit to shipping there? Cuz you say he has too many high diamonds in his range to bluff a diamond river so yeah.
Great stuff btw, keep it up guys.

I assume the last hand (5bet shove /w air on river) has been posted in the forums. Can anyone link me to the thread plz? thx in advance

I looked up fslexcduck on table ratings and it says she is a losing player? Vanessa do you have any other screen names you play under?

On the trip 4s rivered board straight hand at around the 50 minute mark, does the villain never show up here with like a... 67 of hearts sometimes?? Maybe?

If you look at the graph you'll see that there are very few hands, since I rarely play online poker at all anymore and when I do or have it isn't on FTP.

Notice the parts of the graph that have a slope with relatively small absolute value goes upward - that's the 12k hands or whatever of 2/4 when I've been making UW or remix or ghost vids.

The losses all have huge negative slopes, and that's the fun times FTP has been kind enough to give me in my limited time at 25/50 or 10/20 over the past year - all 1k hands or so that were enough to crush my soul(remember this data has only been collected for a limited time).

But you're right to ask, and it's important that you do some due diligence on your coaches/instructors in general. I hope that puts your concern at ease

With 67, he is betting that turn nearly 100% of the time when we're that deep, since he would very much like to get it in against a naked 6. He wouldn't expect me to bet with anything but a 6, but I also might not bet a 6 because in that case, I wouldn't have hearts, so stack protection would probably dictate a check behind. If I had 6 w/ hearts, i might try to put money in freerolling a naked 6 - but if I didn't, I would sometimes check behind with those stacks (perfect for him to c/shove if he is freerolling hearts or has 67).

Ok that makes plenty of sense, definately he would be betting the turn there... Thanks for the response

I know you're a good player just from watching your videos and listening to your thought process, but do you think your results warrant you to charge $650/hr? I only say this because I am selfish and want you to coach me but I can't justify paying that much unless you are crushing the games and play daily.

Well I suppose you'll have to ask my students how they feel about me. I can put you in touch with them if you send me a PM and want me to do that, but this isn't the place to be discussing my coaching rates and quality

Does this qualify for the 50$ :-)

great series, 5 stars imo

around 12 mins in you flat 43s CO v MP and float the K53dd flop to raise the 8d turn

what would you have done if the turn had been an offsuit 8 instead? would a flush turn be the only card you'd bluff raise? would you follow through on a blank river card? are there turn cards you'd consider double floating on?

also: you're obviously going to flop either something very weak or nothing at all the majority of the time when you flat with these marginal hands pre flop, so you need to anticipate making moves post flop a lot

do you have a plan for certain flops? does that plan change a lot on a certain player's tendencies?

how would you adjust to a player with a wide opening range who barrels a reasonable amount? specifically on dry flops, like a Q73r

would you look to float a ton on these dry flops to get aggressive on later streets? would you fold a lot on the flop and call him down light with your medium strength and better hands? would you flat less often pre with your speculative hands and 3bet him more often?

This is one of the best video's I've ever seen.

If he barrels us on blanks, most of the time I think we're just giving up. I might float again on a 2 or 6 since then we'd have an oesd and our implied odds are pretty good (4's aren't much in our range, and if the river completed our straight but without a flush he's very likely to put us on a missed flush draw bluffing the scare card and call down light) Having the K on the flop is kinda good for us in that we're not going to get 2barrel bluffed as often, and he's also going to give up more of his middle pairs at some point.

When I call in position with a hand like 43s, I rarely do so with thoughts in my head of "I'm gonna bluffraise the flop!" or "I'm gonna float any flop and raise the turn" or something like that, but instead I see the flop and see what he does and decide if its a good spot for me to try and take the pot, and if so, whats the best line for me to take. If I do call preflop with that kind of hand, I do so because I expect to find myself in many good situations, based on my opponent and the overall scenario I'm in.

Against a player with a wide opening range who barrels a lot, I'm obviously calling down lighter and bluffraising more turns, but I also may choose a preflop hand range that connects with more flops. i.e. playing more middle suited gappers and fewer low suited connectors, etc. 3betting more pre is a good option if he folds a lot and doesnt 4bet too much.

villain in your hand didn't bet over 1.5x the pot in the river. no dice. nice try though.

doesnt matter its an overbet!

I think he checked turn to induce you to stab on the river. This isnt a scary board from his perspective until the river and even on the river its hard to put you on anything that beats him. On the turn he puts you on air or maybe a bad draw. 8 10 or 5 8 gutter with a back door flush draw. He probably knows you arent checking turn with a queen or better. You may only check the turn with 99 or 77 but you having one of the few hands that beats him is too unlikely. If im in his spot I am trying to get money in this pot. He crushed that flop heads up in position against a preflop raiser. I do like a value raise by u on the river with the intention of folding to a shove. Also, I like the two of u together multiple insights.

I think this raise is awesome. I am wondering as villain with KQ AK this barrell is spew?

I think this raise is awesome. I am wondering as villain with KQ AK this barrell is spew?

No I don't think its spewy to barrel here with AK or KQ, unless you're up against a very talented opponent with a good bluffing frequency who won't make mistakes. However, checking with those hands is also certainly a reasonable plan. Depending on your opponents, they may make more mistakes that way (for instance, the kind of opponents who will just fold to a bet if they have 66 but will turn it into a bluff and maybe even fire the river too if you check to them and call)

Are the 50$ free for raising over an overbet on a 5straight still available. Does it need to be 150% exactly or is it ok if it is more? What are the exact criteries please?

Huh I dunno, its been a long while. I'm not sure if anyone won that. Probably safe to assume its no longer available though, sorry.

At least you probably won some extra money because you watched this vid!

In this hand, you suggest that villain would be insane to come over the top here with the naked A of diamonds. However, in the previous hand, you discussed that it might be a good idea to 3-bet jam the A of spades if a spade turned. Can you please illustrate the differences in these two hands for me?

I do realize that this video was made sometime around 1940 and has been long forgotten, and I greatly appreciate anybody who can take the time to help me out here.
