Poker Video: Omaha/Omaha 8 by danzasmack (High Stakes)

No keynote slides in this one!

Hahaha first time seeing my own intro.

Great Vid!
Every time i seem to have a question you answer it in the next sentence its pretty unreal. I only have one pretty basic question which you will see in the time stamp below.

With the QQ46 would you ever open here? In this maniacal game i think its prolly a fold but in a tighter game would you open? What would be the worst QQ you would open in this praticular game utg?

UTG 5 handed probably not. More wheel cards please dealer! I think game I would open QQ23 with a suit, 24 may be cutting it close. I don't mind getting a little loose with some QQ34ds stuff MAYBE because the only guy we are OOP against is the complete maniac so it's not too tough on us.

That being said I wouldn't want to overdo it and have no problem being snug in that spot.

More LO8 videos please. Looking forward to the next installment.

Clearly not playing your A-game; turn that Leprechaun into a smiley Leprechaun ASAP!!

On the left here u say you should call here and probably fold to a 9, q, 10, or king of diomands on the river.. Do you still like your river call when the jack of diomands hits, as this player did make a very weird check raise on the turn and as you state you have no idea what he has. I find myself also calling players down in situations like this with mediocre holdings when they make odd plays, and as we see he got very lucky on the river..

I hope I didn't misspeak but I meant that against most players I would fold those river but vs. this particular villain I don't think folding any river is good.

I think folding @ all vs. him is really bad, we had been playing a bit before and I had seen even more peculiar plays.

Pretty good vid

would be nice to see you jump on higher stakes games like the 30/60 or 75/150 that run all the time on stars and see how big the difference is

You mentioned that people prefer more live action vids. I hate to make you feel like you can't please everyone (well, OK, you can't) but i'm apparently the weird one who prefers a replayer discussion to live action. I feel like live there's just too much pressure to fit an explanation into a short time before the next interesting hand comes up, and then there are periods where not much happens.

(Counterpoint: It's good to practice the skill of filling that time by observing other players. Fair enough, but not in every video.)

I realize game flow matters, but to me showing in fast forward on the replayer, "We went through 10 hands where i folded preflop, and on hand #7 the two guys to my left got in a raising war with the 2nd and 3rd nuts" is as interesting as watching all those folds.

That said, as always you're an engaging and informative teacher, Chuck. My O8 skills have taken off from these series.

Well, yeah if you're literally 100% confident you have half the pot. Don't you ever think he has A387? (Can't recall if he was aggressive post; we'd certainly bet A387, and get a ton of value from it.) 23T9? TTA5? QJ23 (again, if he's scared of the flush/better low, which people are way more than they should be)?

Not a ton of his range, but you have to be pretty confident in the low half to lay 1:100 or whatever on the high half.
