Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by danzasmack (Micro/Small Stakes)

I run GOOD in this one guys, but i played really well too imo.

Post questions here. Double checking my starting hand chart will post soon!

what is the best flavor of soda?

what is your favorite claire danes movie?

Tab is the best soda imo.

Probably Romeo and Juliet. For the ladies imo.

Hey danzasmack,

Keep up the jokes. There is at least one person laughing. Not sure if I'm laughing at you or with you though! Hehe. So far your series has moved me from being a losing NL player to a winning limit player.

Look forward to more eps.

Your fans appreciate the shout-out to Bai-Grow. Episode 5... Never Forget.

nice video...
you mention ranges and that we should "stove" them.
how do you suggest learning them?
Do we memorize what 5%, 10%, 15% 20%,,etc is..
ranges and thinking in ranges is my achilles heel at the moment.
suggestions?

Hey Danza.. I am really digging this series.

At 20:40 into this episode, we defend our BB w/ 98 vs a CO raise.
The flop comes AK5 and we check intending to c/f and CO checks behind. We do indeed c/f the 5 turn and you talk about how he has an ace or bigger in that spot so much of the time and I totally agree.

At 21:45 you talk about turning a set in that spot and making tons of cash. You state that you would c/r the turn.

Why? If we assume he is trapping since he checked behind the flop, why not b/3bet our set? If he is trapping, he is always gonna raise the turn and we get much more value by b/3b'ing. You also mention that he could have a hand like QQ/JJ or whatever. If he does, isn't there still the possibility of him checking behind the turn, or even folding to a c/r? It would seem that we make more money against that type of hand as well by leading out our turned set.

Hi Danza. I know this series is a bit old, but I am just studying it and would love to count with the starting hands chart you mention. Is that possible?

Any news on this?

In the J2o hand when the button Limps and you flop BP do we want to bet out?
You said you didn't play the hand well. So what is the best way to play these types of hands. Do you put him on a small PP or suited connector? maybe a small ace ? What could he be betting on the river?

S0C7 is a mainframe error code : check exception. I used to program on the mainframe and you'd get this error a lot with packed data.

Thanks i love posts like this! Always fun to know stuff like that about a player and IMO this helps with reads.

Yeah I think, just looking at it now, that just stabbing at the flop would be ok. You most likely have the best hand. I usually will keep that pot small but it's a flop we'll be betting bluffs/semibluffs on as well.

I'm really loving this series, even though it's 2 years old, you give a lot of good advice and I really love the live play to see how it's done.

Thanks so much! Be sure to check out my "continuation" series 'Shouldn't Fold'.

Hi Guys,

Just a question.

In the hand where Danza holds KQo on a K47 board, bets the flop and is called by the limper and checkraised be SOC7 on the button. Why did you elect to Call with a plan to check raise the turn rather than just raise right then?
Was is simply to get a bigger payoff with no risk of overcards. (But there is a flush draw out?? Do we not want to try to force the limper out on the flop?

Thanks

Been a while since I recorded this but I certainly don't think it's too lol. Certainly not as lol as checking back K6 on that flop!

i thought u advocated in a previous episode not to raise from the big blind

i seem to remember in a previous video, lags on a leash i think, which was full ring,but i do not think it matters here.
You advocated not getting caught by the turn raise when you hold a big pair like AA when the board is paired and in particular a big pair.
So what is different here please.

Given the lineup, their limping ranges, and their postflop play this seems fine to me. You clearly can raise some hands from the big bling but being selective as to which/when is important. Here, KTs is a strong hand multiway and these guys have a lot of hands I dominate and I'm also fine playing OOP.

I've picked up the nut flush draw on the turn and he is also calling me with a ton of hands.

If a tight/straight forward player defends his BB and c/c's a K77r flop then maybe you could consider not wanting to get c/r'd but even there only in a game like those full ring games Chris and i were playing in during Lags on a Leash.

In THIS hands, the flop is KKQ with 2 :hearts:s. The turn gives me a nut flush draw and gives the loose player in the hand an opportunity to peel again with all his dominated 1 card flushes (of which there are a bunch because he probably is peeling a ton of gutshots) and to also call me again with a king (as a loose passive player isn't raising that flop with a king). Hope this clarifies it.
