Hey Ben :) Really enjoy your videos, can you do a video about game selection in Mtts? Just the basics what to take into consideration when registering a Tournament, that would be awesome!
Hey Ben can you make a new video about the recent changes in German law and your thoughts about it, you know the law that every time you sit down you have to pay an extra 5.3% to the German government maybe give your take on it and what you think how it impacts German poker players like myself that can’t move to Austria and if you can maybe give some Tipps on how to make the best out of this situation for German poker plays me and the rest of the German poker community would highly appreciate it :) Thank you and Lets Crush
The only thing you can do is to play tournaments with very high roi%. That means no turbos, no latereg! But if poker is your only income leave the country asap. Gl
Thank you so much for saying 'the boring things" All the poker videos always show the action they never show the pro player folding the previous 5 bad hands waiting for a good hand. I get that bluffing in position is worth it but I often wondered what they did while the garbage hands kept coming.
One of the biggest things I got from watching this video was how you react to getting unlucky. You just brush it off like it's nothing. I know it's literally practice for you but this is something i need to incorporate into my game. It's just so hard when players play bad and get lucky
Your A10 fold vs utg (die8) was Good, I bet Polk 3b and negeranus Cold call.. die8 in cash is at your level of better, he had 55-AA AkAqAj few SC and few axs Notting else.
I don’t understand many of the plays here I definitely want to learn. I play way too straightforward and I almost never 3 bet those Ax suited hands like he does.
If you never 3-bet light as a bluff, it will be very easy to simply fold to your 3-bets except with a monster hand, for free EV. But probably it doesn't matter in microstakes
The pocket 22 hand at 22:00 , I would just jam the turn, most people at these micro/low stake would just snap call with any high kicker Kx there. Also turn a lot of 2 pairs KQ/K7/Q7 and flush draw which they may call down with. Well some of them, like you said they don't respect raise or jams would still call with 88-TT here. As silly as this sounds, people snap call with Jacks here even though they don't beat any hands. I wouldn't worry about missing any value with a set here.
Tried Ignition recently, sticked around 5NL for six days, played 2200 hands and win 1260 BB. Moved up to 10NL today. Played 130 hands and win 200BB. Is Ignition tryna set me up or I am during an upswing period? Any advice would be nice.
i play on iggy and bovoda but in my experience for whatever reason the populations 4bet calling range is very QJ/JT heavy. I guess they like it too much to fold. I think it’s important to know bc a lot of times when you think villains almost never have those hands they’re actually a non-trivial portion of their rangr
How do you know what hand villain had after his hand is mucked ? Can anyone explain this to me. Set of 99 hand he says he had AK after the hand was mucked.
With KK it was five bet at 34:50 ?! Then i think the push is better because in this limit fivebet almost every time is very strong hand KK+ and no bloff, or sometimes Just call is can be good?
@@nicolozaniolobedankt Sure, but you don't gain as much value when they call. You basically want to force your opponents into making bigger mistakes and building a bigger pot does that. At higher stakes a smaller raise makes more sense (they also 3b more here) but with the rake at lower levels + your opponents being worse I thought 3x was pretty standard in any non BTN position (on BTN 2.5x is OK)
@@Mwuesse when you get called people got a “bad” hand right? Maybe you watch the cash game course from raise your edge it will tell you all you need to know about this. From the btn and small blind you make it bigger not smaller….
@@nicolozaniolobedankt I mean you make it bigger from small blind because you're OOP and want to deny odds. Obviously if your opponents are calling a lot then you are also happy making it bigger OTB but if they're not that loose then you're fine making it a little smaller... but you still have the rake to worry about is the issue which is why I thought it's supposed to be 2.5x instead of the usual 2.2 it often is in higher stakes. I've not watched bencb course but have watched other good content courses on the same topic.
16:10 - Can someone explain why Bench bets on the river? What hands does he really represent if he should be checking his KingX hands after the board pairs the second time?
@Raise Your Edge Hello! I was wondering about this particular hand. U raised preflop..When u bet on flop and he calls , don't u think that he could have something like A5 or Jx hands, Kx? U did a second barrel and he calls again on turn card that is 5. But he folded third barrel on river. Playing like this what do u think he had? Some missed a high flushes maybe?
Interesting pre-flop opening sizing. Should not we always make it 3 BB? I feel like they could perceive it as we are having a weak range and 3-bet us often, and also we give them better odds to call with some goofy hands and outflop us. Could you elaborate here please?
I think the reason 2.1bb (or something like that eg 2.5bb ) is preferable to 3bb is that you are hoping to have as much fold equity as with 3bb without risking losing as much with hands that fold to a reraise. You may get called more lightly at microstakes but if you have a range advantage preflop continually then you make +ev even if you get outdrawn from time to time.
Only thing I didn't understand here was at 29:00 with the JTo hand. We unblock spades so we could have KTs. Well yeah so what does that mean? Didnt get it. Please explain:) Video is amazing btw
Hey Ben, what's the name of the song that plays in the background of your videos? I really wanted to download it to listen during the session or the cooldown timing
Depends what you want ,zoom is generally much harder, so if you want to make money in the short term play normal tables but zoom is a cheaper way to improve very fast, they play like higher stakes but for cheaper price and you can get way more hands in quickly so you will learn much faster.
We appreciate the micro video's Ben, would you mind playing micro cach on an unknown account. I think people know you are tough to play against so they will avoid you. Just a thought :)
Thank you for the video. Very informative for us newbies. Quick question. At those stakes are the other players playing to their positional ranges? I ask as I've read an awful lot on ranges but I'm unsure if my opponents would be too? Thanks muchly
Today's time never back in the day 80 in an hour from a bye in of 8 with out no bingo these pros that say u can win or beat the lowest stakes like 1 2 that's bs you can pull 1000s of them tables if you good enough
while I do appreciate these types of videos. This is what? 800 hands? I've played singular sessions where I've had 1k hands of people folding left and right followed by getting jammed on with the 2nd nuts multiple times within the next 300-500 hands. I have at least 40k hands recorded on my channel at $0.01/$0.02. And there is plenty of 3 betting, plenty of squeezing, plenty of jamming. Plenty of check raising the turn and about 1 in every 10k hands someone will check back a nutted river. There is no logic to these people. They are fuc*ing calling stations. You either have to win the hand or overbet so fuc*ing much that they fold after the flop. I actually find 25NL far easier to explain logically to people. The sh*t you see below 25NL is wild. Makes absolutely zero sense
If you are as good as Ben is , youll know the fundamentals of gto ranges and he's also going to be good enough to notice players making substandard plays and he takes notes and will adjust.
Instructive for sure, but doesn't really answer the question in the title:) Need tens of thousands of hands to say. Obv Bencb can beat them, but I am sure that after 50k hands he would agree that it was harder than he thought. Edit: and even 50k is not that much....
@@kristoffernilsson6043 im so sick of these sunrunners on youtube who fail their own bankroll challenges. For players of these stakes they are not smart enough to realize to stop playing GTO and use a playstyle that reduces variance to prove they can beat the rake in low stakes. If you constantly 3,4 bet with wide ranges and stack off with coin flips of course you will have high variance.
Dont think anyone on PS lives of 10 dollar tables, you'd need to play 10 hours a day with 4 tables running constantly to have a shoot and its way to brutal of a life i bet lol

dont play poker in Germany. These are my thoughts. If you just play for fun, stay and enjoy. If you want to pursue it more serious, leave the country.

Stop playing Cash games, play tournaments instead
There is no 5,5% rake on pokerstars, gg Poker rakes your tournament winnings only

Whoa just got done watching .01/.02! Now this!? Ben!
"are you the real bencb?" ... "no" that made me chuckle
I saw at a certain point, you had a club diamond doible flush draw board with AcKs?
