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

Try to swear less and not go up and down with your voice so much. No reason to say "really fucking clear" when "really clear" does the job. Unprofessional and just toolish

I would have used the same wording and I prefer videos with a natural language.

Agreed.

I often laugh at people who get offended by such language.

+1 for liking natural language. Also, i like listening to a swingy voice a lot more than a monotone voice...

Really great video. A bit short but packed with win. I really hope you are going to be making videos next season as well, cause these have been really great.

Quick question, would you bet the flop with Ace high? Also why is your turn barrel so small?

Sorry to say this 'peeps' but saying fuck fuck fuck is what most professionals say in many spots.

"fuck fuck fuck", you sound like a retard We are paying for these videos so please keep it professional.

Speak for yourself.

Me being german (where in TV profanity is NOT bleeped out) I can only jump on the "natural language" bandwaggon. If something is pretty fucking clear then I don't see a godddamn fucking reason not to say that it's pretty fucking clear. I think the whole bleeping out profanity thing is pretty fucking hypocritical anyways.

But enough of that.

Noah, I enjoy your videos a lot, please keep em coming. I love the way you explain your thought process and the way you do the math analyses.

NoahSD, Fuck Yeah! [imagine "Team America" theme song here]

On the 98 hand what do you think about raising the flop. You have position and you are merging your ranges so it's not monsters/draws/air.

Don't usually watch the 6-max vids but downloading this now for the naughty words

I really enjoy your content, Noah. I also enjoy the way you narrate your videos as it's often pretty much the words I'd use if I were discussing/thinking about the hands in question. I find the free use of language refreshing and less stuffy than it might otherwise be.

Awesome stuff, very inspiring.

I still have 2 questions regarding this QTs hand:

1. What do think he puts you on when you call his c/r on the turn considering you are likely to fold Kx and even Ax?

2. How likely do you think he is to continue with those hands he turned into a bluff (67,77-TT) on the river maybe as a result of realizing that you are on a rebluff because he wud expected you to shove with 2pair and better over his c/r even though you wud most likely just called given the range you put him on,(but he does not know that)?

Interesting video. I think the natural language sounds odd to me because it's after the fact. Doesn't bother me, just seems out of place that's all.

I like the WTF combo and hands idea. I'm sure we have all had our WTF moments.

Alex and pat,
I'm sorry if the cursing offends you or makes me sound unprofessional to you. That's the language that I'm used to using when I talk about poker, and I definitely think it helps to get my point across and make the vids more entertaining.

If it turns out that lots of people are offended, then I'll stop.

imrpova, deviant, magaca, trillos, sugar, vacuum, grandizer,
Glad you guys liked the vid.

Justice,
1^25 = 1.

peten,
I would bet the flop with A-high. A lot of the range that folds to one or two barrels beats A-high and the rest obviously has lots of equity. There's also the ridiculously awesome fact that if he calls two barrels and the turn/river comes blanks, I check back and beat some whiffed draws .

I don't think my turn barrel is small at all... It's over 70% of pot, which is a fairly big bet in a big pot with not that much behind. I actually consciously decided to bet a little bigger than my standard here (which would normally be like 385) because I want him to put in more money with smaller FDs and Kx.

I didn't consider that I might get c/red here, though, and that makes the bet sizing question much more interesting, since a smaller bet discourages c/rs from FDs (including Axcc).

Rain,
I really hate that idea. The reason that I only raise monsters/draws/air here is because it's not profitable to raise anything else.

Spots where you should merge your range are pretty rare. One nice example is the QQ hand I played in this video. The example that people use more often is a river spot where your opponent expects your value range to be really really tight and your bluffing range is really loose, so he'll call with a massive amount of bluff catchers. For example, on the river in this 89o hand, if villain recognizes how I'll view this spot, it would be pretty smart for villain to overbet shove the river with something like TT since I'm pretty much calling any made hand and TT crushes that range.

In both examples, the reason I think that a range merge is a good idea is simply because I think that there are a ton of hands that can profitably be in my range. On the flop in my 89o hand, calling has a much higher expectation than raising, so I'm calling. There's really nothing else to consider.

Antny,

1. I think it's not too hard for him to recognize that this is a great spot for me to just call with a big hand, since I obv perceive his range as being extremely polarized and since he wouldn't be getting odds to call with most draws, so I should def just be flatting a set hoping for the rare river bluff and knowing that I'm still stacking two pair on the river no matter what. I have no clue what exact range he puts me on here, but I think the fact that I can have a big hand here plus the fact that a river shove would be a 100 BB 1/3 pot bluff makes it pretty unlikely he bluffs here.

2. Do you mean call with those hands or shove those hands himself? I don't think he'd shove them too often for the reasons I stated above (maybe 15%ish), and I think he almost never calls them because he doesn't expect me to bluff in this spot like ever and, as I said in my above response, he can def expect me to have some huge hands here.

I'd prob kill myself if he called with 77 here .

THese really are some of the sickest videos.. Great job please keep making more.

Justice,

lol, I miss-typed that. edit to read: +2^25.

Awesome series (may have been more clear). Very much looking forward to the remainder and any future explorations you may have

Justice + jlee,
Glad you guys like the series. I don't think I'll get in enough hands online in the next few weeks to put together a decent Rewind episode, so I'm gonna do a couple sweat vids. promise more Rewind in August, though.

That QTs hand is really worthy of all these expletives lol. Very weird, challenging and instructive. Also I think the JTo hand is a good fold unless he is too c-bet & barrel happy.

lol, yeah. Crazy hand.

Glad you like that JTo fold. The more I think about it, the more I like it. I shouldn'tve shown, tho .

THese really are some of the sickest videos.. Great job please keep making more.

This.

QTs hand is fucking crazy. I'd never have considered shoving the river there... awesome range analysis.

I just happened to see this video being a fishy 100 NL regular looking forward to moving up in stakes.

Well, I searched for something to motivate me to learn more about poker. Something that would show me that I know nothing and that I've only touched the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks. No vid would've been better for that purpose, I should print each frame of the video and glue it around in my room.

Baz,
Glad you liked it.

Eis,
Also glad you liked it, but please don't waste that much ink... that stuff's expensive.

I agree that thats a fold. There are so few rivers that are gr8 for the hand and he will often barrell river with or without a draw which makes it worse.

I can think turning this hand in to a buff is going to work against his range either.

Time Link to 00:16:33

I personally think his range is all the A highs that check-called the flop, A high flush draws that check called the flop, and all the monster that check-called like AAKK6633.

I think not cbetting flop with A hi draw is not bad because he probably has showdown value with A high as well as great implied odds. Also, if he cbets an A hi darw, it would be hard for him to get it in against hands that he dominates IMO.

His check raise is nice i think if he thinks he is ahead of your calling range. But I also think check calling is good with those hands too.

I agree that 8899 type stuff folds or just calls.

mrtaddy,
Glad you agree with me on the JT hand.

In the QTcc hand, I don't think he c/cs flop very often with bare A-high at all. I also think c/ring the turn with Ax (clubs or not) would be pretty terrible.

really, I can see villain check calling all his A-x hands on flop for showdown value.

what do you think about villain if he actually check raises a bare flush darw which obvoiusly wouldnt have showdown value? although he can probably just lead his draw and take it down often.

I don't think I've ever seen a TAG regular 3-bet pre and then c/c the flop with bare A-high on a K-high board.

I think c/ring the flop with a FD would actually be pretty awesome against me.

So over my head it makes me sad

Try to swear less and not go up and down with your voice so much. No reason to say "really fucking clear" when "really clear" does the job. Unprofessional and just toolish

asking people to censor themselves or stop using their natural voice inflection RE-DEFINES "toolish"
