I listened to you talk through your first hand, talking about ranges, and how since you're deep the villain might make that play... and it made me realize how so many of us who study the game outplay ourselves at these stakes. People just love to play Ax, period. Also, when he calls the 22A flop, you're dead.
Not just that, I think the check on the turn is what makes the river bet so bad. You are never checking the turn with AK or AQ. So for the guy with A6, since the river gives him queen kicker, he is never folding. Since the hands that beat him, AA, AK, and AQ is never checking on the turn.
AcAh @11:04 $100 preflop. Your raise sizes out of position need to be bigger than if you were in position especially playing so deep. Flop can go either way between betting and checking. Turn is good. River is great and great sizing. Definitely like your logic on the river.
I like fast playing sets on the flop as your opponent is much less likely to give you credit versus waiting to raise on the turn which always looks very strong. That being said, in position with such a dry board, you’re right that it’s an easy just call in that spot. Though if your opponent had AK and called or jammed you’d have felt like a genius.
Yeah I don’t think it was that bad. If he had AK/AQ you might get it in on the flop. If he didn’t even have an Ace you’re probably getting just one more bet out of him anyway.
In my opinion, the first hand with KK was played fine. You're the preflop aggressor, so the flop bet makes sense. If the opponent floated with a Qx hand, he's likely calling the river. I'm curious to see what people have to say
Qd8d @5:31 Pre-flop fine, flop fine. Turn is probably close. You could have a ton of Jx (J9o+, J7s+) so it'd be hard for them to check-raise with worse. Seems fine to bet to protect/value here and shut down on river. River is a must call for this sizing. If opponent bet $200-250, then it's close and appropriate to tank. $60 bet is a snap call.
I'd say on the river he should've raised big an taken down the pot. The opps betting is clearly a blocking bet, any big raise would've taken down the pot.
Thank you for posting the challenging session! I'm a new subscriber to your channel with a new vlog of my own and one day I aspire to play those tables in Vegas myself! It's a long way down the road for me however, I'm just getting started. What software do you use to make the overlays?
Kh9h @7:06 Flop, you can go between check or bet. Check-raise of this size seems like a must call. Turn is a call. River is a check. Your thought process after though.. Like, you can't just "wait for a better spot". That sounds like a tournament mind-set (which is also bad logic). You have to make good plays and sometimes that comes "readless" with "marginal hands".
9s8s @3:06 Calling utg+1 here is definitely loose but fine, especially if table is not 3-bet happy. Flop is a mistake. No need to raise here. Not only are you read-less but you just have so much equity to raise/fold (unless it goes 3-bet/4-bet). Also the guy behind you can have 86, 77, sometimes TT, sometimes J8s, T9s, and a bunch of diamond draws that have really good equity.
Kiet, heres a little advice for you bud:Don't try to force your hands, when "luck" isn't rplaying with our cards, play super tight and simply win at showdown with the nuts. I know this might sound nitty, but when we're running bad you have to play nitty.
Haven't played this game in over a year but it was not good, full of pros. Anyways appreciate the analysis of fewer hands than a big volume of hands without. You play TAG? Would like to see more bluff hands. Bluffing is so hard!!
KK @ 0:57, 3-betting bigger preflop to 280$. flop bet 25% with range. turn is check with your hand, betting 66% with hands like 99, some TT, AK, some AQ. checking QQ/KK/AA, A5s/AJs/KQs. river: betting $200 is losing roughly 10bb (thats a big mistake) It's interesting that he has A6 here. Not because of preflop, that's whatever. Turn should be a bet with all aces. Also your logic is flawed on river. For him to call flop with Qx.. he would have to check those hands on the turn and not turn it into a bluff. Also 88-JJ fold river like high 90% of time. QQ you're getting piled on. Ax is always calling.
The 3-bet size with KK is too big and so is the c-bet on the flop. $175 is not small after $225 preflop. The river bet doesn't make any sense after his fast call on the flop. Obv timing tell, obv A. Since you are blocking AK a shove on the turn would have made sense.
Raising the set of 8s is not a bad play at those stakes. People don’t fold. Just unfortunate he def didn’t have an ace. Doubt he would have kept barreling with nothing. You didn’t lose out on that much value
8c8h @10:20 I think this is where exploitative and theoretical diverge. Theoretically SB should call with all Ax. but.. Exploitative.. you don't have worse than Ax often enough for SB to call with Ax correctly enough. You're never turning 22 into a bluff. You're rarely turning 99/TT into a raise here for protection. You're not turning broadway/65/76 into bluffs here at any decent frequency. Maybe he calls down with AK but he was going to get bets in with that, and he might find a hero fold here with that which would be a disaster.
Raise pre flop with k9 flop top pair and just fold to a single rasie? Why bet then ? You can't fold every time you get raised on the flop so small or you will be pushed around folding top pair all the time
After seeing your title, I was gonna suggest only fans as a way to build it back. But your last screenshot showed you still have a $7k roll. Perhaps if you remembered to turn the fan off, you’d have run better.

Doesn’t make any sense to bet the river with kings. He only calling u with ak aq or qq

I won’t be too critical in my feedback of your of your flop raise with 88 since it’s obviously your first day playing poker 😆

I can't believe A6cc called you all the way lol That would've put me on tilt
Were you also playing mostly Wynn 2/5 in your previous trips? That’s a tough game, plays very deep and with some tough players.
First time watching the channel. I think you're doing a really good job.
Nice video. You kinda sound like Kermit.
i know that howard stern looking player lol
seen him at red rocks
Around 6:45 if you put him on only an 8 and the other player folds out of turn the door was wide open to bluff river and get him off the K8
always sucks to make a trip to vegas and lose, but at least you're close enough that you don't have to wait for next time. do you have plans for wsop?

Don’t slow play at 2/5
As crazy as this is gonna sound, could have been worse.
Owch we all have had nights like that

lol I thought you were gonna get barried not even bad result
i jusr lost 300 with a set of jacks vs turned flush AIPF. this video helps Ilol
I've lost full house over full house. I flopped mine and she rivered a bigger one🙄
You need to get back to studying.
A6 calling that much pre is HORRIBLE!!!
Andddd they won the pot lol
@Mike-sr6gd Annnnd being results oriented is not a thing, ask any pro. The call was still a horrible one no matter the result
first
This was a really painful watch. Wtf were you doing on the first hand? Some of the worst poker I’ve seen
Saying he has Range advantage with KK and the A is on the flop.. you warhd to many poker Vlogs and those study charts you study all day is FLAWED
Very dumb raise on set 888. You played really donkey for checking up. That's why you stay in that poker level.😅
