- Опубликовано: 8 май 2022
- In today’s episode, we head back for some $1/3 NL Hold’em action at The Lodge in Austin, TX. We get seated at a $1/2 table for about an hour, building up our stack a bit before moving to our game of choice. We get a mad rush of cards, and eventually run into an interesting spot where we try to pick off a bluff with nothing but a pair of deuces in a $1.5K pot! Are we making the right call??

Reply here to tell me what you think villain was representing & how you would have played the A2 hand at 12:53!
Thought the hand was odd. My honest feelings watching it was that he was either holding pocket Aces, double blocking the wheel. Or had AK and was blasting off hoping to force a fold from you. Ballsy call on your part, but the right call in the end! You are doing a great job with the videos. Keep em coming.
Hell of a call A2! Excellent sir. I had a bad run last two sessions. Quads over boat. Better boat VS boat. How do I get away from those situations?
What tracker do you use?
@@ihumbleyew3430 I use Pokerbase to track my stats at the moment. Running into quads over boat or set over set is sometimes unavoidable, unfortunately. Variance can result in short term wins or losses that are better or worse than what should be expected on average. You've just got to remember that you're playing for the long term, and it all evens out in the end. It might make you feel better to check out episode 37! ruclips.net/video/_nuwHvdBdY0/видео.html
I like the call. Was expecting to see something like 55 where he turned his hand into a bluff.
I agree the 4 on the river makes it easier to make the call for sure though. Changes the nuts on the river, reduces his combos of trips, and when he hets that big he polarizes the hell out of himself. Still a ballsy call, but I like it a lot.
Dude that was a sick call. I would have folded probably but you owned that guy!
Definitely expected a five in his hand. Pretty gutsy calls all the way through. You went with your gut and it worked out! You know it won't always but it's sweet when it does!
Yeah, I thought it was a draw, but I didn't expect it to be a gutshot.
You should have way more subscribers. One of my favs
Thanks, Nick!
Bro I cannot fuckin believe you called that all in. Monster call. Jesus
I totally agree with what Shawn Warzeka said, was definitely expecting a 5 in his hand. Me being me I probably would have folded but I see and understand why you called, I'm glad it worked out for you hun. As always I loved this vlog with great content and tips. Til your next vlog Take care xxx
Lol that massive overbet with Aces is comical
I wasn't mad about it! 😄
My thought exactly.
I think that last hand is more about knowing the player. Any small/medium pocket pair (5s to 8s) by a LAG could be played that way. Good call. I probably would not have committed all that considering there were more hands that beat you than bluffs on that board. But you made the right read and call so good for you.
That's definitely true, knowing the player was a huge part of my decision to call down here. I know the player can be aggressive, and I know he is capable of making bluffs.
Love the content man keep up the good work.
Thanks, Danny!
great video man, congrats on the 25K bank roll
Been watching your videos for almost 2 weeks now and by far the right guy to learn from at these stakes ! Will be moving to Texas by end of June and hope to get to play with you and use your strats to build a bankroll. Keep up the good work and see you at the tables !
Hey Sunilking, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! What part of Texas are you moving to? Hope to see you around!
@@HuggiePoker !I’ve seen that most of your vlogs are at the Lodge in Round Rock and TCH, do you ever play in Dallas coz that’s where I’m moving to !
I haven't been there yet, but I'm interested in checking out Dallas, San Antonio, and maybe even Houston too, at some point! It probably won't happen this year unfortunately due to timing constraints with other life priorities.
@@HuggiePoker it’s all good brother, next time just announce it in your future vlogs so maybe some subscribers including myself can show up !
Definitely, man! Will do!
Dude... that hourly in those games... Texas might just live up to the hype! PLO player here though so will check out the 4 card scene
Yeah, it's definitely quite the scene out here! If you get the chance to check it out, let me know!
Sick Calldown in the A2hh Hand. If you have some History with this Guy and know he is capable of bluffing all 3 Streets.. nice Read!
Otherwise vs unknown Opp. Very tough, He could have alot of strong Hands, Like Sets, Straights & 2Pairs in his Range as well.
His Bluffs are only Hands like 75s or Ax Hands. Luckly he had one of those this time :D
Yeah, I've played with this guy before, which definitely factored into it. If it was vs. an unknown, I probably would have folded on the turn!
Anyway Congrats bruh 🎉🎉🔥
Bet your hands Huggie! Especially in TX.
Nice profitable session man, you have a new subscriber here. Good luck with that bankroll challenge. You make great reads and the cards seem to be favoring you anyway.
Thanks for the comment and the sub! Very much appreciate it. 🙂
@@HuggiePoker You're welcome!
Great content!! Congrats on hitting your BR goal. A2 hand the villian was playing like he had flopped a set of 4's and aggressive with his betting all in on the river is representing quads. You played with confidence, if had the goods you were willing to pay to see them. Was he semi buffling? Even after shown A2 pairing the board beating his 6 high A. He tought he won. Your commentary saying, that he was an an aggressive player was spot on. Its good to know your opponents. What I would of done? Not sure. Poker involves gambling and you took that line. You don't win hands by folding. Aggression met with aggression. Good job, nice win!! Keep posting and keep grinding out more W's then L's.
Thanks, Joe! To be clear, this guy is a bit of a joker at the table, and he didn't actually think he won. He was trying to pull my leg knowing that he lost. 😂 Hoping to have another W later this week, things have been stagnating a bit since this last episode. 🤞
Nice one😁
Congrats to you!!!!
Thank you, sir!
Insane call! I would have folded after seeing that trash flop if I had a2 suited. You’re too good!
Bro that last hand was so sick... well done!
Thanks, man!
Damn what a hand with the a2 of hearts. Nice read and great hand. I would of approached that by folding to his raise on the flop lol. No way would I be able to stick around and check call out of position with the turn and and river there
Hey, thanks Taylor! I think if I hadn't played with the player before, I'd be folding a lot more there. I just happened to have a better read given some past play with this guy. 🙂
you're making me want to move back there for 10 months and try my own BR challenge lol
You definitely should. 😉
So my first thoughts preflop was pocket 66s or 55s. After turn big bet I began thinking about what bluff he makes that beats your bluff or value most of the time and had some sort of A6 suited and off suite.
My flop bet read was similar to yours, but I definitely didn't put him on A6, so I think your read was better than mine!
Dude love watching u play and ur analysis , where did u go comeback ?
I'm 3-betting that flop raise. he either has overs with a draw or a weak over pair. if you 3 bet you protect your equity and if he 4 bets you can fold or peel and check/fold the river. i think your calling the flop raise and turn bet were the worst parts of the hand. as played and with the runout I tend to agree a crying call is needed. nice playing though,,,keep up the good work
Time to start mixing in some 5/10 😉
I'm heading to Vegas in July and planning to take a shot at it then! 🤞
Great stats. Im still trying to build a positive bankroll 😅. Which bankroll tracker do you use? Im just doing excel rn.
A2s hand: Pre - good raise. I expect villain to have middle connectors, pairs 22-77 (maybe 88), all suited combos except 72s and A-Js+ and KJs+, A2o-AJo, K8o+, Q8o+, J9o+, T9o, T8o, 98o, 97o, 87o, 86o, 76o, 65o, 54o. Otf - most of villain's range has draws here. Offsuit cards higher than 6x (with no draws or made pairs) are gone except Ax, maybe Kx. When villain raises, I assume he has a pocket pair, paired the board (and doesn't want to allow overcards to draw), or a straight draw or bdfd. Calling is the only option here. Can't fold for such a small price. When villain bets large ott, he's either got a set, a straight, or nothing. The Q did not help any of the draws, so I lean toward nothing here. The 4 on the river improved villain's flop top pair hands, but I doubt villain continues betting large ott with those hands after the flop bet-raise-call. I sigh call here.
Great call on your part. Only a few good hands really made sense - either 65 or A5, 33, or 22. A6 is a really good bluff here because it blocks both straights.
Great analysis. There are definitely some hands we lose to here, but I felt like there were too many bluffs and missed draws compared to winning hands taking this line.
@@HuggiePoker To clarify, I meant only that those hands are much less likely after he continues betting. If that's NOT the case, then you definitely have to call here because villain is waaaaaaay over bluffing.
@@MaydayAggro Yeah, I got you, sorry if I wasn't clear. 😄
What's your favorite room so far in Texas? I'm 4 hours in any direction from live poker so I'm a semi-weekend warrior at best but always considered taking a trip to Texas for some poker.
I've only played in 3 rooms in Texas so far, and they're all in the Austin area: TCH North Austin, The Lodge, and 52 Social. I like The Lodge the most simply because it has the most players and the best lighting. The other two are both nice rooms, but I'd like to see more players at both. (52 Social just opened recently, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it get a bigger player base over time.) The Lodge & 52 Social are basically across the street from each other, so you could check both out in the same trip if you're interested in one of them.
Great call! I dont know if I could of made it I thought he had a higher pair like 5s. 6s or 7s. Great job! I have a lot to learn
Thanks, Mike! I think a higher pair is possible on the flop, but once the scare card comes on the turn, plus I've shown interest and could have a pocket pair from his perspective based upon my actions at that point, I'd expect him to slow down with those types of hands.
Even on the reveal, dude thought he was gonna split the pot with you lol. Must be a newbie;)
@@mkader2494 The guy is a bit of a jokester and was just trying to pull my leg. 😄
@@HuggiePoker oh, i see 😎
The guy really thought he was chopping with that A6 hand lol??!
Nah, the guy is a jokester, he was just messing around. 😉
There's not a question mark at the end of that, so I assume, CONGRATS!
Gotta bet the QTs. AND the J5s. When the previous round checks through, don't assume someone will bet for you. Bet something small, hoping for a raise (with the flush). Bet larger on a middling flop (T8s). Anyone could have a pair or draw that wants to see another card. What's the rationale behind betting bigger with top pair if you think villain probably "has air and can't call much" (AJo)? Shouldn't you be min betting or checking to get him to bluff?
Good bet with the Q4s.
Yeah, I'm just used to the games here in Texas being rather aggressive. The tables are almost never this passive. Took seeing both of those hands check through for me to realize I need to bet for myself for a change. 😄
@@HuggiePoker I think you need to bet larger ott with the 74s. There's a possible flush draw and the 4 also brought more straight draws. Make 'em pay.
@@MaydayAggro Yep, I definitely agree with you on this one. I was thinking the same thing as I was reviewing this hand for the vlog. I bet $20 on the flop and got 2 callers, which is already $60 more into the pot. Betting $40 on the turn just gives a really good price to too many hands.
Another question: what's the poker session tracker you use?
I'm currently using Pokerbase, which is nice because it's free. It's lacking some features I'd like, but it does a great job for the price.
What do you ise for your bankroll tracking?
Great videos btw! thanks! I hope to see you on the felt sometime. I mainly play down in SA at Rounders.
Hey, Matthew! I use Pokerbase at the moment. It's free and gets the job done, though there are some more advanced features it's lacking for diving into stats. I'd love to come check out Rounders at some point, along with whatever other card rooms in the area are worth visiting!
How do you calculate for your hourly pay to the card houses? Do you just take it out of your total for the day or your bankroll in general? For instance if you played 5 hours and we're up $375, your bankroll actually increased $325
Yeah, that's exactly right. I included the expense in my session total. I figure that's the most accurate comparison to rake.
@@HuggiePoker exactly. I try to keep track of my daily fees, hourly fees, buy ins, and any other expenses. I want it to continue to pay for itself as I work on my play.
How many year have you played poker, huggie?
On the last hand I probably would have folded. You raised pretty big preflop, so I'm not expecting your opponents to call with complete garbage. I'd expect suited connectors, pairs, and broadway cards, with maybe something like A5s. You led out on the flop and got raised on a rainbow board. Raising a made hand makes no sense here (but people do dumb stuff), and it's skittles so he probably doesn't have a flush draw either. Maybe the raiser had called preflop with 45s but more likely a medium or low pocket pair. Raising this size with an over pair or even a set actually does make sense. I probably would have called the raise, but when he bet fairly big on the turn I would have been done with the hand. If I did happen to make it to the river then I'd be a bit more suspicious of his all-in bet. He's repping a boat or quads, and I'm not so sure I believe him at this point. He could could certainly have it, but it just looks like he's trying to push you off the hand now. So I'd probably call the river if I got there, but I probably would have never got there. Upon seeing that my opponent had A6o then I'd know he is a knucklehead, but I'd rather be sitting to his left.
The villain could have big cards (AT, KJ, JT, AJ) and trying to force out middling pairs with how fast he played. Obviously you feel terrible if he himself showed up with 77-99 but your read on the situation seemed good.
Yeah, I haven't talked about timing tells at all in my vlog, but I feel like the speed with which he acted definitely played a part in my thought process.
@@HuggiePoker yeah timing tells seem to be grossly underrated. Congrats on meeting your goals. It’s inspired me to try and meet mine.
@@cactuarnoob100 Good luck! Any specific goals you have in mind?
@@HuggiePoker I’m playing online currently given my schedule and lack of time to play live due to work. Hoping to run a BR up to 4k by the end of the year.
@@cactuarnoob100 Awesome, hope you are able to do it! I just downloaded Bovada and might throw $500 on there to give online poker another go.
50k comes quick
I hope so! I've lost a couple sessions since I hit the $25k mark unfortunately, and my time may be a bit more constrained going forward in terms of how often I get to play. We'll see!
I expected to see 55 in the last hand after he said you’re good. Did you show first again?
I did when he said I was good. I don't think this player would have said it without meaning it, having played with him before.
I would have put him on flush draw. Less likely a 4 bets like that especially when queen hits. Nh
Yeah, that's totally feasible. Thanks, Benjamin!
i was thinking A5 spades.
What blinds does your casino offer? Do they have 2/5, 5/10?
They have both. I think they're starting to push for a regular 5/10 game at a specific time each day, but I'm not sure when since I'm not playing those stakes as of yet.
@@HuggiePoker i ask because there's really no reason to build your bankroll much more if those stakes don't exist. :) Definitely need to build for 5/10, but not for 1/3.
@@MaydayAggro The $1/3 games here in Texas are match-the-stack, and everyone says they play like the $5/10 games in Vegas. I'm planning to try some $5/10 when I go to Vegas in a couple months, but I'm not quite ready to dive into that game here yet.
@@HuggiePoker I get it, and the A2s hand did end up playing like a 5/10 hand, but it seems most of them were relatively small pots, especially when compared to a $1k stack....
Yeah, I've definitely played some deeper games than this one. I'll admit I'm a bit timid when it comes to trying bigger stakes. Even moving to 1/3 took a number of tries before I really felt comfortable. I'm gonna keep playing 2/5 when I can until my Vegas trip comes so that 5/10 doesn't feel like such a big leap.
Hi. Do you know baki poker? A french vloger playinf all around the world. He played at the logde
Can't say I know him by name, though it's possible I've seen him and just didn't know!
@@HuggiePoker ok. Take a look at his channel. I also told him the same about you^^
Will do!
50 k loss end of year. ? Yes if show every event ? Just asking.
Not really sure what you're asking!
Probably has 66, I’m just guessing that he’s betting to deny equity.
Off by a little lol
Yeah, I think it's probably hard to put him on a hand if you've not played with him before. Having sat with this guy a few times definitely put more bluffs & semi-bluffs into his range for me.
Not gonna lie, that seems like a lot of risk to catch a bluff. Yeah, you won, but he could have easily had 44-88, A5, A4, A3, A2 as well. I would have led, then folded to the check raise. Way to keep live poker alive though!
Yeah, it's possible he could have had those hands, but I just didn't feel like any of those hands coincide with the action across all streets. Maybe he could have done it with A5, but I would have expected him to call flop and raise turn more likely with that hand.
@@HuggiePoker you do you....and obviously you were correct. Be wary though, calling down like this can get expensive long run.
For sure, it's not something I do regularly.
Calling with A2 was really good as the villains line made no sense. Great call. If they really had a good hand, they would be betting smaller to keep you in. Not much logic in this person's play.
Thanks! I've definitely seen this player make aggressive moves, and I wouldn't have been surprised for him to have a hand like 54 on the flop. But the continued aggression just didn't make sense as the board played out, unless he was bluffing w/ a hand holding a Q that saw a lucky turn. I still might expect that to slow down on the river though.
A2s hand. Didn’t like it. Way overvalued your hand. But who can argue with success?
Yeah, fair enough. I think it's either a bluff or essentially the nuts, and I could have been paying him off when he's got the nuts there as well.
