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

Great ep as always and cant wait for next weeks.
Nice stack on the one table DJ!
I think the final hand was pretty awesome and its great to show just how far you guys will go with a little bit of early information.

Great video but I can't help thinking that the whole series is based on result oriented thinking. Maybe it's because the moves are so unconventional :s

Heh, $1500 stack is def a thinly veiled brag.

Great stuff again. Keep it up.

Well thats a reasonable conclusion, given that pretty much every hand we show is us owning somebody. Obviously we mostly picked hands where things went well, but as you'll see later on (when we show our stats and graphs) we actually did quite well overall. I think we might even show some "bloopers" where we make a play and run into the nuts, but that'll be in one of the last videos.

This video has already put a couple of hundred dollars
in my pocket. Thank you!

What I did was to play one table, take my time, and
every time that I had a hand stop and think;
"How can I extract the most possible from this hand?"
Not I have a set, never slow play a set, so bet.
The results were very interesting and profitable.
I'll be watching this video several times, not to
memorize, but to understand the thought process, yours
and your opponents.

the video fades out for me at 2:51 instead of lasting 72 minutes

You need to be a subscriber to watch the full video. There are a few full videos available for all users -- you can see these on the "free" tab on the main page or by sorting for free videos in the videos section.

thanks,

Please don't do the "bloopers" video if it's only for entertainment. However, I would love to see some spots where you got an unexpected or undesired response and how you evaluated the situation at that point. Obviously this will not be spots where you push or call all in but some other spots like where you go for the delayed float but the player doesn't cooperate. Do you just give up? Do you alter his hand range? Do you come up with a new play? Do you store that info for later use? You get the point.

Love the series...thanks.

good stuff as usual. how about an episode on how to turn the best card in the deck? you seem to have that down to a science

Poker looks so easy, when everything you pull works out

In the last hand, you raise JTo in the CO, habitual 3-bettor calls, AT8 flop. 2 questions:
1) You seemed like 100% sure he can't have an A here. He actually called with QJs. Isn't it quite possible, that he calls with a hand like Axs here as well?
2) Why open JTo in CO with OTB being such a pain in the butt? I usually tighten up in those situations and just fold JTo. Wrong?

Good series, looking forward to next week.

yeah i think this video series is excellent. lot's of interesting spots and good, detailed analysis. this is exactly what i wanted from a poker video, i just didn't know it.

great work.
i'd be very interested to see pt stats of you two of all your hands played at 200nl during this period.

those video are hard to understand and put in our play.

But I like those, I will listen to them again and again

Im already applying some of techniques you teatch and it work well, good job

i'd be very interested to see pt stats of you two of all your hands played at 200nl during this period.

We show and talk about our results in one of the last few episodes, so you've got that to look forward to!

this is a good idea to see what mistakes were made and learn from them... please do make a video of this...

UW is the best video series online. It crushes most other videos I've seen on most other sites. That's saying something.

So apparently I like to call pot-sized river checkraises with one pair when the flush hits for no apparent reason...oh wait its fslex, she doesn't know who i am, i know who she is, i know she can be bluffing a lot against a random 1/2 NL player, i call

hence our point that you should probably not be bluffing too many rivers ;-)

meh, i think the main problem is that you're fslexcduck, and every 2p2 1/2 reg knows who you are and wants to be the guy that made the hero call on a high stakes pro. also fwiw the way our hand played out, you weren't really repping anything that i could think of; with the pot-sized river raise i couldnt really put you on anything that you would be raising for value since it looked like i had a pretty weak holding.

I agree: something disappointing. Like, you know, awesome owning valuetown, dude.

There are nuggets in here, and I guess it may turn out to be worth the money, but finding them requires panning through a whole lot of verbal gravel.

Good stuff and I really appreciate that there is something new styles and ideas.

But I think too some of those tricky plays are just (stupid?) tricky plays which can't work in real or at least you gotta be very, very good hand reader.

I don't personally like minraises, though I know there is some points where it's a great move. But I can't see any idea why do you make miniraise in situation like this:

(Starts on video at time 1:00:00)You are on button with QJs. CO opens to 7, you call and flop comes Q 9 4 . CO cbets 10 and you almost minraise here to 25. Why on earth? Just like you said he gets great odds to almost all of his range. I think here is way too many dangerous cards on turn, so I can't see the point why do just make the pot bigger but don't get almost any idea what does he has. Okay, maybe because this hand is on the video the turn brings a blanco (3 :heart), but what would you do if it was a third club, jack, king, ace, eight or ten and he even bets like a 3/4 pots or makes big check-raise?

...and yeah, sorry for my english.

QJhh hand.. flop raise: 'not quite a min raise, certainly not a full raise.. just a little bitty.. kinda of uhhh piss him off a little bit raise".. awesome. hahaha

Just wanted to type that too :-)

You shoulda slow rolled him Dan, tanked it to the last second....

I've only slowrolled somebody seriously once. It was a shortstacker allin preflop and I had AA. He sucked out on me. I decided karma wasn't a fan of slowrolling.

That being said, I fully encourage slowrolling when playing chinese poker with your friends, or playing blackjack at a stupid casino where they won't let you play your hand face up.

Great, great series. I've been playing poker for three years and this series makes me diverge from standard ABC poker and get a bit more creative/spewy

One question; why is the 77 a call preflop and the 33 hand a muck when we are not in a multiway pot?

2) Why open JTo in CO with OTB being such a pain in the butt? I usually tighten up in those situations and just fold JTo. Wrong?

Good series, looking forward to next week.

I was wondering the exaxt same thing, think he could easily flat stuff like axs because he doesn't want to face a 4b. I mean he flatcalled QJs here so in this hand he wasn't planning on 3bing light. Also on the river lot of stuff comes in so the call is pretty close instead of a snapcall imo.
Other then that this is a great series

This a great series. It has really got me thinking about my game.

why not re-raise all in here?

why not re-raise all in here?

I don't think theres much value in a raise. His range should be polarized to strong hands (that beat us and snapcall a raise) and bluffs (that lose to us but snapfold to a raise). The only hands that we would gain from by raising would be second-best made hands like JJ or TT, and I really don't expect him to have those ever.

Really disappointed by this video, results oriented is an understatement and fslexcduck's ego is out of control.

After he calls the min raise on the flop we can safely assume he has a hand with just a little showdown value, Or draws which is just 89 and 56. Why are we inducing when his range doesn't have many bluff hands compared to hands where he wants to get to a cheap showdown? Also that turn 7 is bad because he definitely plays a 7 like that. Am I correct thinking that the only hand he bluffs here on the river are 89 and 56? If that is true, doesn't he have value hands alot more than bluff, therefore making this call -EV.

I would greatly appreciate a reply. Thanks.

Well, first of all I think he can show up with several more draws than just 65 and 98. Because the pot is small and we only minraised him, he could call with gutshots like J9, J8, 85, 63, 53 or even simple overcard hands like KQ, KJ, QJ (perhaps with backdoor flush draws). And lets not forget that 86 is a double gutter! He could also easily show up with any smaller pair, because he just can't bring himself to fold it to a minraise. Now he probably shouldn't be betting the river with those kind of hands, but thats not to say he won't do it sometimes.

All things considered, I think we're definitely good here at least 40% of the time, so the river call is correct.

I am not sure about your flopplay here tbh.
Sure I got your reasoning, but

1.) Pretty often everybody has just pure air and you will make fold it almost always ->on the other side it is an OK-Board to cbet -> hence by checking you would extract value from this air. (huge part of Villains` ranges imo, tbh)

2.) your describes scenarion (PFA cbets and SB C/Raises - and now you would almost overrep your hand bycalling, what is true) is possible, but just unlikely and will not happen too often (to assume the probabilities for each scenarios is imp very importent).

3.) When he has a strong King, he will anyways val.bet at least 2, often 3 streets.
From a weak King you will not get too often 3 streets imo.
