$1/2 Player Takes a Shot at $5/10 NL! - Poker Vlog #42

As part of my week-long trip out to Las Vegas, I’ve been planning to give the $5/10 game a shot. I normally play $1/2 and $1/3 back home in Texas, but I’ve heard from a number of people that the $1/3 game in Texas plays a lot like $5/10 in Vegas, specifically at Bellagio. I’m a bit intimidated, and I’m going to make mistakes, but let’s see what we can do!

You used my footage for your intro :(

Sometimes if your playing decent and running decent taking shots is necessary, glad to see that you did that.

The only thing the guy with AJ should’ve been upset about is the way that he played the hand. If he had continuation bet on the flop it likely takes the pot down. If not, he can bet one more time with a gut shot and an over card and likely still win the pot. He’s mad at what you pre-flop called with rather than being mad at himself with the way that he played the hand. Amateur.

OOP 4x 3bet with 10s is actually standard. You need to raise larger than you would in position in order to mitigate your positional disadvantage. If you’re commonly doing 3x 3bets as OOP, that’s a fairly large leak, because your opponent has too good odds to continue in position.

Dude it's all top notch: the production, the play, the card protector... 10/10 my man. I really love how you condense so much information on screen without taking too much real estate. Well done!

Maybe I'm off base here, but my read is that the 2/5 game had more straddles and would therefore be considered a better game

[@collegefraud1308]

Nice game- no booked losses that night. I like playing at Bellagio, the game is softer with more rec players. If you wanna try something more challenging play at Aria.

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t call you a 1/2 player, I’d call you a midstakes crusher 😎

[@haroldallaberg6359]

was it all regs or were there some whales/fishes?

[@dacgours55]

You do you bro and it’s not a big deal but no one really likes someone complaining about how bad their luck is as they have Aces versus Kings

[@jvjoe4376]

Great content!! Two sessions in one video. Thanks for posting. Best of luck!

[@ianshirreffs5604]

Hell yeah brother, nice run!!! Glad you won at your shot take. 💪

[@JustinEvertrip]

Awesome stuff! Fun games, good spots, excellent editing too. Looking forward to the next one!

[@mikemckeon8976]

Nice little session while upping the sakes. Since your not using a clock, like how you give the time element between hands. Shows how much time can go by between getting playable cards or being in position even with weaker holdings and just playing the position.

I really enjoy your Vlogs

[@nicholi2789]

I love the Bellagio 2-5 game. 😍

[@KingDon441]

I took the 5/10 shot a few months ago after putting in about 200 hours at 1/3 and 2/5 at Bellagio was running like god up 4 k at 5/10 and ended up punting it all off lol but it is fun to take shots for sure can’t wait to do it again Gg gl c ya on the felt

[@chasea.romans7306]

Still waiting for you to call it JK Off 😂. Great video!

[@BarryThorsen-dd6kz]

Good stuff man! Was wondering how you got the handle Huggie?

[@abercheese70]

Great content. Did you notice a big difference in the strength of your opponents going from 2-5 to 5-10?
