I like the videos! What material are you using to study? I suppose at this table I would tighten my range and open to a bigger size. ORRR, open small and start check rasing a lot more or using much bigger sizes on the flop (100-150% pot)
When I lose to a short stack who has AA, I usually say that I'm glad they didn't have much more, they would have gotten it all. It usually tilts them and moments later they lose everything anyway.
I like the vlogs. I stopped playing 1/2 because of all the donkeys. Try 2/5, switching tables, changing your bet sizing, folding more often, and knowing when to cut your losses and leave.The last one applies to winning as well. If you're at the casino an hour and up $500 - $1,000, don't be afraid to leave with booking a win. Good luck!
Thanks for watching!! I was actually planning to play higher in this session but the game I was on was all they had, at least partially because they had a tournament going on.
Basic poker theory dictates that larger opening sizes should condense ranges. Tightening your range construction, especially out of position, in splashy games will print EV.
Hey man, nice vlog. I am looking at starting one myself. I am from Tulsa so play at Hard Rock all the time. First, yes, that is how the $1-2 game always plays. You can raise to $15 every time and get 4 callers all day every day. But also want to ask how you were able to film. I had asked them about that maybe 6 months ago and was told we couldn't film there. Has that changed or did you just film and they never said anything?
I plan to try this later this month. Hoping to just have my phone on the rail like it is just sitting there but let it be filming. Wish me luck. @@kennygpokerstrategy4917
Hi Kenny! You have a great vlog going here, and I wish you much success. I really like these soft tables, like the one you've featured here. I find it helps to say 'nice hand' and to be as friendly as possible, whenever i lose a pot. What do you think?
When it's literally "the only game in town". Painful game. Watch SoRude's episode 119 at pensacola (FL). Only other game that compares. It is just that bad juju kind of game where the players are (scared $ tight)miserable, the deck is stale (can't get paid), and ya just feel like sitting at the Greyhound bus terminal watching paint dry is the only thing that could be more fun! (And cost effective). Glad to see ya still grinding and keep at it! Always enjoy the content! Sorry ya pulled up to a dud. Gotta do a Friday night.(payday?) 9p.m. with promo's and drinks to change this action at the Oklahoma Hard Rock. OKLAHOMA is not OK😂😅
Poker rooms and casinos. Expect in $1-$2,$1-$3, $2-$5, games multiple callers to see the flop. Some degree of inelastic play pre flop. I frequently open 7xbb to 10xbb. Use suited connectors as my bluffs. Because you get so many callers, need some strong hands in calling range. Will call in early position with AK off, and either QQ, KK, or AA some portion of the time. If I can't get action early, and a bluff worked, I'll show the bluff. Against multiple players, adjust your game to exploit. Also be willing when in position to bluff big on the river.
Yeah, I played terrible. I don't think I was in the right mindset and I let myself get frustrated basically for no reason. Bro tanking with the nuts though 🤣🤣🤣
For what it worth I think in 1 3 games it's so cheap you can call with any 2 cards. 2 you want people to shove with garbage hands. Pocket 8s be a good example. Play good solid poker you will not go wrong long term. Tighten up your range don't think to much about other people's range and if they shive on the river they have it.
Kenny, dude…. With all due respect the hand that I think you played the worst in that session was when you had A3 of hearts. Checking the flop with that board was absolutely the right move. However, then the turn came a 10 of hearts giving you a flush draw, betting also was the right move. But think about your bet. You were representing a 10. If the turn had made someone a straight or two pair, they would have either bet out since nobody bet the flop or, check raised the turn card. But nobody did that. When the river comes another 10 and everyone checks to you AGAIN, you absolutely needed to bet big and continue to represent the 10. That’s the only way you can win the pot and you almost certainly would have. In low stakes games,the guy with the 8 called not necessarily because he thought he had the best hand but because he was hoping to improve. He had third pair. He was unlikely to call the river had you bet large enough. The river 10 was the perfect card to run a 2 street bluff. Sure, once and a while you’ll get caught when someone else has a 10 but that won’t happen often enough to make that bluff unprofitable. You probably would not have needed to bet all that big anyway $125-$145 is probably all it would take. You can’t win in poker, unless you are willing to lose.
Yeah, in hindsight I for sure missed a good bluff spot. I think I've just been hearing too many other vloggers who play for way higher stakes than me talk about not bluffing into multiple opponents but I don't think this applies to the games I'm in. Thanks for watching, we're going to play better in the next one.
@@kennygpokerstrategy4917 low stakes players don’t bluff enough and when they raise a bet of yours, they almost always have it most of the time (because they don’t bluff enough). There are certainly players that do but, you can usually identify them while you’re at the table. It’s pretty easy to bluff here and there on a table like the one in this vlog. You still need to be selective (especially with a river bluff)but, players at those stakes are willing to fold a lot to aggression with anything less than their strongest hands. You should also bluff more often on the turn when you still have outs to win the pot when your turn bluff gets called. If you miss the river, you can reassess whether it’s still a good bluff candidate or not. Check raise bluffs are the strongest bluffs in low stakes. They are SO often afraid that you MUST have them beat. Unless they have a strong hand already and STILL have ways to improve on future streets they often give up. Low stakes players are more willing to fold than higher stake players.
Welcome to low stakes live at the local Native American casino. I had to take a month off because I've been getting frustrated just like you and some of the regulars are miserable and not fun to be around. The games can be extremely profitable tho since there are such bad players but on some days you will lose $ and you have to find a way to accept that. Have you ever had or considered getting a poker coach? Some of those hands were butchered which I think you know. When u turned the nut flush draw on that A3h hand and semi bluffed the turn I was thinking you should probably continue bluffing the T river even tho it was three ways. In these games you have to find some multiway bluffs even tho it isn't fun trying to bluff more than one person.
Honestly I have not been doing the amount of studying I should be, I have access to almost all the materials on Upswing and I should be dedicating time each day to study. Thanks for watching and hopefully we will be back with some better results soon.
Also I hate to be that guy, but have you considered that poker just isn't the right career for you? No hate at all. I watch all of your vlogs. Just your results don't seem to be very good.
Welcome to Tulsa. It does get frustrating there at times. The 1/3 and 2/5 rock play a bit better but you still get some of the same.
I like the videos! What material are you using to study? I suppose at this table I would tighten my range and open to a bigger size. ORRR, open small and start check rasing a lot more or using much bigger sizes on the flop (100-150% pot)
Embarrassingly enough I haven't been studying much lately over the holidays and stuff. I'll be in the upswing streets pretty hard in the near future
Also what are you using to film?
Just my phone
Did you have it where your screen was off or was it on the whole time? I figure next time I will give it a try :) @@kennygpokerstrategy4917

Go play at texas card house in Dallas
I played there once before in a much earlier vlog episode, I really liked it. I'd love to make a trip back. Thanks for watching!!

Yeah, I think I let myself get too frustrated and I started pushing the action. Going to improve on that going forward
nice vlog kenny g your vids are cool and fun
Glad you like them!!! Trying to make each one better in some way. Any suggestions?
Are you close to Kansas? Harrah’s in KC is full of fish man
Not super close, I think it would be like a couple hours drive. I've heard good things, maybe I need to plan a trip. Thanks for watching!!
I’m not super close either. I’m in Wichita, Kansas. It’s like 3 hours from me but it is good! Keep grinding my guy

Yeah I might have flipped the table after that last hand. Lol.
All that being said, casino games are great. You just had a rough session.

@@kennygpokerstrategy4917 yeah like I said, I probably would have flipped the table. Lol
Tampa HardRock and Cherokee NC-check them out.
Thanks man, will do!!!

Slow roll with the nuts 🥜 or he didn’t know he had the nuts either way I would have been pissed
Pretty sure he had no idea he had the nuts which on top of all his "I'm so cool and smart" attitude was very tilting. Oh well, win some lose some
Dude, I’m frustrated for you.
3rd
You need bigger sizing. This seems to be your biggest issue is you give everyone insane odds all the time.
Yeah, need to size up for sure, especially in that kind of game.

You dont wanna play in a game where a guy doesnt know he has the nuts with the freeroll blocker?
Stop betting half pot. Remove that move from your spellbook
no patience. no discipline. bad sizing.......appropriate results.
"HOPE" is not a business plan.
Also I hate to be that guy, but have you considered that poker just isn't the right career for you? No hate at all. I watch all of your vlogs. Just your results don't seem to be very good.
With some good study and coaching I think Kenny here could be quite good.
dude... easy ragging on others when your play was bad to terrible.
just sayin. 👽
