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

dammit, really need a reminder for the quizes, keep missing them

whitelime, ur a demigod man... keep it up, i hope one day ill have the roll to coach me...

joe it'd be good if two of the hands are vs the same opponent, and one is played later than th eother, that you show the results of the first hand. Emil even said "based off the previous hand, I would bet AJ here". I think part of the reason i would rather bet knowing the previous hand, is that if we check he's going to bet underpairs to the board and he maaayyyy check back his draws, so may as well valuebet. but anywayyyyyys, maybe i'm just upset i wasn't number 1?

good series+episode.

also it'd be cool if you could tell whose coaching so we can adjust our strategies accordingly (whitelime id obv start betting and raising a bunch more, and folds kinda overrated ;-))

Who won?

great series! congrats IAGTTAYM and tuba!

deez video is g00t IMHO.

I was going to use this excuse too, then I remembered we all have the same info at the beginning so I couldn't use it. Nice try though

AQo is a crap hand OOP, probably even more so in a big pot (?) so are we 3betting this just as a squeeze or is it something that we should really do anyway? The reason I am asking is I am wondering if it is really that bad to just fold it when the chances of us getting a call are pretty high due to the multiway action so far. Are we really losing money folding it compared with 3betting it?

Still rigged. Playing for the nut low now.

So does JT have some East European / Russian ties or something?

8 6 in the SB. I would not hate a small raise (1.5$) just to get the initiativ. The idea is that the weak player will call the small raise with all of his limping range but our perceived strength goes way up and we take it down post flop with a higher frq - because our c-bet carries more weight and the limper turns into a fit or fold player.

It would be a mistake to raise BIG preflop but the small raise is a sweet sweet way to milk the limper. The reason that we don't want to raise BIG preflop is that a big raise is likely to give the limper a stronger range post flop.

Some might argue that we are OOP. This only matters if the limper understands how he can use his position post flop. I would be very surprised.

i like this very much

Betting the betting AJ on the xTQQ board on the turn vs the loose passive opponent is BAAAD.

1.) Since he called the flop and nothing changed on the turn to make his hand weaker, he is definitely calling the turn.

2.) There are many draws on the turn so if we fire the turn we will have to fire most rivers. Since we don't know just how much of a calling station he is we may be burning money in doing so.

3.) Since the guy doesn't seem to like to bet big a check call would be a lot cheaper than the price we'd be giving ourselves if we in fact bet with nearly 0% fold equity.

I think folding this hand would be a huge mistake. Even if you are below average postflop for the stakes you play, I think AQ turns a profit in this situation. Given that it's a squeeze situation, I think this is a fist pump reraise.

If the limper were a straight forward fit or fold player postflop, I still think raising is bad because we have 8 high and there's no need to balance our range against these players. Given that he is a pretty big loose passive fish calling station, I think raising is really bad. This is a situation where completing the SB is significantly better than any other option.

Ahh i needed this.. Good video.

I got a question about the AJo hand where it is btn vs sb. So the button was like 15/13 w/fold-to-3bet 76% (or something) - what are we trying to accomplish with this 3bet? I mean I dont see much weaker hands he is really calling us with and we could easily get ourselves to very tough spots postflop because of his tightness and us being OOP in a bloated pot. So are we turning the hand into a bluff here or what? Shouldn't we try then to just call the pfr and play a smaller pot vs. a wider range of hands (obv including lots of hands we beat (and dominate))?

If it matters that we have 8 high here the argument for raising small goes away I could not agree more. But I guess that you would then not be isolating him with a wide range OTB? With a hand like 65s?

We are turning almost an automatic profit because he is folding so much but even when called, the only hand that dominates us is going to be AQ, AK/JJ+ would probably just 4-bet preflop. I don't think we're going to have too many issues postflop. If anything, we can bluff him off AQ when the flop misses.

love the 65s commentary.

Play some poker folks, what are you waiting for!

awesome.
