Thanks so much for the full-ring content.
You asked about the 4-table format. Personally, I wouldn't recommend moving to 6-table. People just breaking in their game cannot follow 6-table. Honestly, they shouldn't be trying at their embryonic stage.
Good stuff.

Love the series concept! In this first vid I especially appreciated the hands where you gave advice on value betting spots that we micro players miss. Overplaying unimproved AK is also a leak I recognized in my own play and have difficulty eliminating.

Table selection hints? Tables seemed pretty tight for NL10 with multiple regs on multiple tables. Either find looser tables or learn to play looser on these tight tables?

Not watched the video yet but looking forward to the series.
In the "keep it to 4 tables" camp.

Betting out is OK too, but you're generally turning your hand face up. Given the LP limp there's only a handful of aces in his range, some of which beat us and some of which don't. It's possible he'll stab with air or whiffed pocket pairs and it's unlikely we'll often get maximum value by taking an aggressive bet bet bet line.

New to Deuces cracked so unsure if it is improper to answer if you're not a coach. However since it's 11 days old here goes.
The situation was that it folded to the SB (15/6 reg) who raised to 40c OOP to the BB. Hero reraised IP HU to SB to $1.20 and BB completed the call.
Although villain has a 6 pfr and he is OOP I think his range to raise bigger then 6%. Most regs recognize this as a chance to steal a BB, as most BBs in 10NL and under don't recognize they have position in this situation. Many people in the blinds also auto fold mediocre hands.
It's likely villain is holding A9s+ / 77+. I'm assuming Hero is full stacked (can't see) so calling another 80c he has the odds to stack him.
This gives us enough of a range to lead out on the flop for 3/4 pot or raise if he has a high C-Bet%. You'll take this down a very large percent of the time.
VS a 35/2 or unfamiliar, I would tend to let the Jacks go on a sizable bet, raise any donk bets, and lead out if checked to for 3/4 pot.

I know this is 7 months late but I find it strange that no one mentioned this.
Joobalin is playing on 4 'deep' tables in this video.
Two things:
1) Buy-in for the maximum, and auto-top to the maximum.
2) 'deep' tables typically consist of more regulars because there is a 50bb min. This keeps 20bb shortstackers away but creates a tighter more aggressive (in other words tougher) table dynamic.
I did however notice that at these 10NL 'deep' tables that there were a lot of stacks at 100bb... so maybe I'm just thinking of 50NL+ 'deep' table dynamics. Just a thought.

Just a question regarding the card mods. I hv the same deck, from fozzy poker mods I think, but the cards in this vid seem bigger + there aren't any gaps in between the board cards. Anyone know how to get them like that?
