06:30 if someone buys in for $200, and raises to $15, you 100% can 3bet to $50 or $55. Those people aren’t thinking “omg that’s 25% of my stack”, they will still call with the same range that calls $40 imo
Thanks for posting this. My bankroll has been growing pretty steadily and my last 5 sessions it has bees decimated by 50%. I feel like I’ve been playing solid poker except for two big hands. A lot of 3 bet fold and calling down some bad beats. Keeping the head up!!
Curiosity killed the cat… 😂 very tough session. When every time you think the guy can’t have it and yet he does. It happened at my last 2/5 session where I lost 1000 to one individual player in the span of three separate hands in the span of 2 hours. Keep grinding out the content! Love the vlog!!
Your vlogs are entertaining informative and give me hope for my own bankroll challenge I’m at 5200 from a 200$ start and clawing my way to hopefully a bankroll to play for a living so I can quit my day job . Thanks for the motivation ❤
For your trip eights hand, I have found that a very small bet on the river after checking back the turn works very well. Throw out $25 and he will call you with ace high. And even better, that very small bet will sometimes induce a spazz raise.
This isn't a regular 2/5 game, it's hyper aggressive! I would be nitting it up and making sure I know who the aggro-fish are, so we can just call off vs them
The best way to combat aggression is with even more aggression. If you Nit it up and call down vs them, you let them realize 100% of their equity. You really have to start playing back at them, even adjustments like checkraising middle pair as the OOP 3bet caller makes a lot of sense.
@@BluffaloSam I tend to look at this in an even more simplistic fashion. If they are overbluffing a lot! Why do I ever need to push anything but value? I understand the point about Equity Realistion but it cuts both ways, they end up at rivers wtih very weak ranges whereby we can call off with some more marginal stuff and still be good more often than not. Maybe its just me, but x/r flops OOP with 3rd pair feels like a recipe for disaster
You can also randomize your bluffs or calls or raises using the suits. For example: when facing a 5bet with AK you can jam or call or fold in randomly: jam if you have ace of spades, call if you have hearts and fold if clubs or dimonds. This insures you are playing 50% of AKs and 25% is your 5bet range. You can make these on all type of probability randomized.
I like a bet on the turn with the aces to polarize your range when the 2nd six hit. betting big on river is a bit too strong but if you bet turn and river using the 6 as a bluff card then his thought process would lean more towards a call since the story seems more bluffy
could you add a timestamp? it helps me visualize my hands when I see the time in between your hands. thank you for the videos though, very informative!
Surprised they allow you to record/ or you got away for so long. Any merit in playing are parq? is the game softer? I feel like cascades is softer and hardrock has more incentives
2 casinos don't care as long as there aren't faces. The others haven't said anything, Parq is usually good for friday nights as it is downtown. I hate cascades, the slot machines, the darkness, the smell, and the DJ blasting away dubstep like 30 feet away. NTY. Hard rock is good, but 2/5 doesn't run consistently, and it's quite far for me.
I liked this one. Well done. I think you played much more reasonably this Vlog and not so over aggressive. Though I do think you got overly sticky in a few spots here. I do hate the way you played the second aces hand. Should have just jammed pre flop. When you flat a cold 4 bet it just looks so strong so he knows you have a huge hand. Though he gladly gets it in pre with AK and a lot of other hands. You’re finding your legs in 2-5 though!
You'll like the next video that's coming up! I just thought he has so much A4s etc here, as he's been 4betting a ton that night, wanted to give him a chance to bluff
@@BluffaloSam Yeah I understand why you did it. It just sucks it was your once chance of really getting even on the night. Being results oriented. Hopefully it doesn’t happen but how far are you gonna let your roll deplete before dropping back to 1-3?
@@nicholi2789 Yeah, tbh I'm quite shocked how light people are stacking off 200bbs deep, so may start doing some more preflop all ins. If I drop below $8,000 I'll go back to 1/3 until I'm at $10,000 again.
@@BluffaloSam yeah I mean just look at it this way. At 1-3 you were happy to stack off with a $400-$500 buy in. These guys at 2-5 view stacking off with a $1200-$1500 buy in the same way.
@@nicholi2789 Yeah, it's quite the adjustment. Saw a 125bb 5bet with KK, and then he snap called the 500bb shove. It's kinda insane to see that many blinds go in
Find your fold button brother. Nice vlog

It's always so much worse when it's the same person 😂
That’s very much how I run, thanks for your video, I enjoy them all, !!
It comes and goes! Hope you run better at your next session :)
Interesting video thanks
Everything is good, thanks for the vlog.

Keep it up fella!!! $5,200 is a long way from $200 :)
This seems like a really aggro game. I haven't seen that many 4 bets in many 2-5 games.
When 2/5 is the highest stake run in a city of 3 million (save for a single table of 5/10 on weekends) the game gets quite a bit tougher.
For your trip eights hand, I have found that a very small bet on the river after checking back the turn works very well. Throw out $25 and he will call you with ace high. And even better, that very small bet will sometimes induce a spazz raise.
I use small sizes OOP on river a lot, I just thought this guy has so much air here I'm gonna give him as much rope as possible
You are a rubber band bub. You WILL bounce back Sam.
Just wait for tomorrow's video!

@StreetSoulLover It's not the best strategy, it sounds good in theory, but it's really just playing into their game.
That's what happens when two idiots who know nothing about poker discuss poker!

How do you 'randomize' on the spot? Thanks!
I just look at the second hand on my watch
You can also randomize your bluffs or calls or raises using the suits.

Probably not, it's already a ton to note at the table. Maybe if I'm playing in a livestream I wouldn't mind that
What are you using to randomize your choice of 3b or fold on certain hands?
I read in another comment of his that he uses the second hand of his watch
Lots of 4 bets and mega deep stack lol sounds fun… and tough for 2/5. Where is this?
Vancouver, BC. Parq casino sometimes runs it, but most of the games are at Grand Villa
Surprised they allow you to record/ or you got away for so long. Any merit in playing are parq? is the game softer? I feel like cascades is softer and hardrock has more incentives

@1:59 he shows Ace of diamonds. I think he had Aces.
He told me he had AKo, I believe him, he's a friend.
@@BluffaloSam Sounds reasonable.
14 outs for 2 cards is 51% & 15 out is 54%
I think it's a bit different as just outs = pure equity, as I can still hit an offsuit J to null his A/K outs.

2/5 is to high for a 10k bankroll!
No such thing
@@BluffaloSam Clearly 10k is too small for 2/5 you have 10 buletts that is not enough. 2 bad weeks and you're broke
@@niknik6023 I'm not staying at 2/5 if my roll drops to like 5k. Aggressive shot taking is important, especially at the lower stakes.
