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

I really enjoyed this video. I think Hielko's argumentative nature (or inquisitive, or something nicer) made the discussion slightly more informative rather than just passively accepting what was been said.

Very very interesting to hear vanessa battling with Hielko!

When will Joe the pro be coaching Hielko in Omakase?
I thought he was getting the full package guys?

Get some of that street image and fake timing tells going for Hielko too!

Loved it, thanks to both of you, Hielko for his experimental and agro play, and Vanessa for explaining the range math behind it.

I have to admit I am terribly jealous of Vanessa's precise and intuitive thoughts regarding ranges. I can only hope that one day I can get to 1/4 of this ability. The work continues on.....

U rule Vanessa....

sound is messed up in the ipod version after 8 mins or so...

excellent episode! i like the discussions going both ways, keep it up! who's coaching next week?

awesome video. Thought it was as good as krantz's if not better?! Was a little slow in a couple spots where you skipped over things, and it's unfortunate the other one was lost.

I thought of a series idea. "Rapidfire", where you guys just go through a bunch of hands briefly within a 30 minute->60 minute video. Still give explanations just make them really fast and concise. Could be just a bunch of hands from members. There could also be a "Dear <insert instructor name here>"series. Not sure if there's a spot for me to put this stuff, but i'm fairly certain all the coaches read the comments on their vids.

I have uploaded a new Ipod version. Enjoy.

omg, sound quality is terrible

best omakase episode yet!

In that cold 4bet hand. I completely agree that his range is weighted heavily towards middle pairs. But I also think they are never folding to one barrel and overbetting flop seems a weird thing to do with AK and will induce look ups more often than you want. How do you feel about betting 50 or 70 on the flop and shipping any turn (except for an ace)?

I like it

ZOMG, hielko got burned

I kid, I kid, excellent vid

I can see why you talked yourself into calling those river all ins, if people call your raises so wide ip with such crappy hands, it's easy to get a bit paranoid and think you're getting bluffed all the time

very cool to see how vanessa solves that problem with some basic hand reading skills though

as a side note: the sound was a bit out of sync towards the end of the vid in the flash player version

vid was nice, i think Vanessa was revering to this article about QJ, although the hand in this article by Samoleus was the suited type, maybe it helps!

whats the name of the software that you make this replays with?

wow great video vanessa is a great coach and super smart player. who is hielko on 2p2? same name ?

yeah, but I usually only lurk @ 2p2

i have a problem with ipod dl, same as ep1 of this series. when i view on my ipod (have tried both my classic and touch) the outer left and right sides of the video are cut off. basically i can only see the middle of the screen.

i haven't had any other issues with the other ipod compatible files of late, just this one. (ie. remix series no issues)

Does anyone know where else that "1 or 3" situation is discussed? Vanessa talked about a previous video where they discussed boards where you can fire only 1 or 3 barrels. Anyone know?

Also btw I just want to point out that the two audio streams (mine and Hielko's) were saved separately, and I think they wound up overlapping by a second or two. I didn't just interrupt him and cut him off all the time

Anyway Hielko was a pleasure to work with. I love it when students challenge me rather than accepting everything I say, because it definitely makes for much better discussion.

it's the popopov universal replayer, or something like that.

A brilliant performance from Vanessa here.

And Hielko couldn't be a more perfect foil. He's good enough that he can keep up with the coaches, and entertaining to listen to.

Great job.

Was the 3betting thread on 2+2 you mentioned the Chaostracize one? You said you prefer 3betting T9s etc, so I take it you disagree with Baluga Whale's stance?

Has anyone done the math at the KQ-shove? From what I've gotten it's +EV if he has a 3bet-range of 22%. I don't really think villains squeezing-range is that wide here, but I would guess that it's around 15% or something, and then it's still +EV. From my calculations we need him to fold around 54% of the time, but my math may very well be off.

I've done some math and IF he really 3bet +/- 22% here and IF he cbets air 100% it's for sure +ev. But if he 3bets less or checks air a decent amount it's very easy to go from +ev to -ev.

Yeah, seems like it's kind of what I found out (even though it has to go down quite a lot before it starts being -ev). Just was surprised about the numbers Vanessa mentioned in the situation.

Anyways, great video and series!

I thought the KQ shove was really interesting. As I was watching it I thought "Okay I guess he's going to float here..." then he jammed and at first I was like WTF that's crazy but if you actually look at the math I don't think it's so bad. The sample size of the villain isn't huge, but it definitely seems big enough to be somewhat worthy and consider his monkey like 3-bet stats. That board is perfect for a C-bet and he's prolly continuing that flop like 99% of the time.

I think if you look at the EV it's probably close to neutral EV if he does indeed have aggressive 3-bet/C-bet stats, but what I do like is the future implied odds with this move. Next time you open preflop he's going to be a little less likely to go crazy with his 3-betting against you because he knows you're capable of doing the unexpected. Anytime you can perhaps get a guy to alter his game just because you took a creative line in a previous hand is definitely +EV in my books.

Love the analysis by Vanessa on the AT hand where Hielko 3-bet from the SB, bet flop for value, checked turn and bet river. I find myself on those kind of spots very often and it's nice to get a better idea on how to play that kind of situation. This one was probably my favourite video of the series, along with the Krantz sweat session.

Like how Omakasse mixed up the format a bit here. People like different formats I guess, but I really appreciate Vanessa taking the time to work through the hands and select the ones that have a broader theme instead of just four-table action.

Love the dynamic here: if Hielko and Flexi don’t do a series I seriously have to consider cancelling my membership – should be a given!!

in the KQ hand i´d rather just ship it in preflop vs this type of player
