I like your way of thinking, but I also think that in some hands it should be simplified, because as far as I understand nick is an aggressive "reg", and that's why I think he must be more aggressive on turn, because with small size bet people don't trust him, and if the river is not shav all in, such bet sizing on the turn makes no sense to me. And the problem is that he always plays the same, sometimes he needs to mix, because his 4 bet doesn't mean much to people in many cases, in that case sometimes narrowing the range a bit is the best possible thing where he will get paid on big hands! sorry in my bad english ahhahah
Hi, I'm here for the cash game review. Quality video as usual. Commenting before watching because I'm that confident in your content. Keep on keeping on lad. Bongo
loved how Bena reacted when you said "this hand is against a good reg.. one of the best !" (11:30) wondering what was he thinkin' about this statement =] , great video guys , great content and an even better vibe !
I usually watch vids on faster speed but this is one of those rare 100% speed GOAT vids. Thanks for the content and here's to improving over the summer!
awesome content nick and Ben. its probably one of the best content here and you guys are providing it for free. thanks for the generosity and excellent work for both your viewers, subscribers and the poker community as a whole.
Cheers mate! Hahaha that hand was a huge deal on stream at the time with Ryan and I was just happy ap to be able to shove lol. Turn is just a check obv but I needed a small win in this one!
Thx for the content. So cool to see how you learn, progress and also make mistakes. Not to see you fail, but I think most serious players on the micros make like these agressive mistakes. Difficult 3 bet pots that seem easy to do 1/3 with range etc... I also make these same mistakes that end up costing a lot.
Nice one again👌 I wouldn't care to much on stats with such a small sample like in the AKo hand in min 7 doesn't mean that he just 3bet QQ+.. 250 hands is basicly unknown except he's playing like 60/10/1 or something ridiculous. Keep that stuff going man💪
At 4:52 Ben says 'having hearts is good for a river bet'. Can someone please explain the reason for that? He says it's bad for betting the turn. I assume it's bc you block heart floats that fold, but I'm confused on reason it's good on the river.
Nice video. I'm recently coming back to zoom after doing very well at 25 and 50 zoom up until 2015. Unless the games have changed that much I can't help but feel that you're overcomplicating your thought processes so much that you're leaving yourself a little unclear in spots and I think Ben nailed this in the summarising statement. Sometimes thinking on level 2 or 3 can outlevel you when a lot of 25nl people are on 0 or 1. There's also the old adage that at zoom, when people are betting, they're more often doing it for thick value rather than bluffs or thin value. I think a lot of the time you can start to overestimate their ability which pushes you in to making plays that just aren't profitable. Just my observations but thanks for a great vid.
Thanks! You definitely have a point. I do think it's best to start with solid fundamentals and then adapt where necessary, but I agree that my adaptions aren't on point at the moment! I'll keep working on it though.
Hey man!! Because of high rake, i play a 100% 4bet strategy with continue range OOP, i would love to know your opinion on this, and maybe talk about this to BenabadBeat? Population dont have 5bets bluffs, like, if u look at theory there are 5bets allin A5s etc as a bluff. And we dont cap our range. I am trying this about 2 months right now. Ps. I try to play 50nl for 2 days, lost 300usd hahahahah. But there are a lot of fishes there too, and i run very bad. Like, people raising/calling 3bet with 95s from hijack and hitting the flush. Im back to nl25, but i think that is not very different from nl50.
Hey buddy, hope things are going well for you! I actually think this is a completely reasonable approach, paying rake and being OOP is horrible! Things that avoid this can't be bad, but we have to be careful with frequencies. You're absolutely right about under bluffed 5 bet jams too! Good luck mate.
Thanks for this vid. I'm unsure about bet sizing. Are you meant to bet bigger when you have a stronger range than your opponent and bet smaller(/check) when they have a stronger range?
It's fairly complicated as there are lots of competing factors but you pretty much have to consider both players ranges and how they interact with the board. If you have lots of marginal hands that need to deny equity and villain has a few very strong hands for example you may bet small and with a fairly wide range to deny equity but not run into villains strong hands too often. If you have way more nutted hands as well as weak hands (more polar range) then you generally want to bet big with value/bluffs and check the marginal stuff. I think the easiest way to develop an intuition for bet sizing is by looking at solvers and learning concepts from gto toy games.
At the moment my study is next to non existent! The most I do is send Bena some hands after my session. If I was to study it would be with GTO+ and my discord.
tip: instead of mentioning your Ks blocker w/your AK ott vs fish, give your thoughts on WHY you think its at all relevant. In this case it may not be at all relevant and I can think of one small reason why the Ks blocker is more favorable to betting
Also stop being so hard on yourself man. First and foremost it's tilting to watch, secondly we all are still learning the game and finally you play pretty solid; there are no insane punts where you are losing tonnes of EV (unlike a lot of the villains play). Be more sure of yourself Nick you tit, you're good at this game
Cheers mate, just getting a bit frustrated with my workload at the moment and feeling I'm not as good as I should be or can be. Appreciate the support for sure though. Not going to take you tilting as a barometer because let's be honest, doesn't take much!
Great vid mate (enjoyed part 1 as well) but stop being so self deprecating! Every hand it's like you're begging Ben to tell you that you're terrible (and he doesn't because you're not) or you're apologising for a minor mistake (or something that's not even a mistake). I know you've been in a downswing at 25NL but you're allowed to have some more confidence!
Thanks buddy, the confidence is definitely taking a hit. I've got a lot going on at the moment that has left me low on study time and I feel my ability is taking a knock. Will try my best to address it, but I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching!
Cmon its NL25. Focus more on exploiting players at these stakes than playin GTO. Coach is giving good advices but theyre working better at higher stakes.
I had very few notes on any of the players in question, so you'd be asking for a general exploit to the 25nl pool. I personally think this leads to dangerous assumptions, especially as I'm fully aware of how capable some of these regulars are.
@@eastyyy22 GTO will cost you more money at low stakes than it will win you. I wouldn't even bother with it unless you are playing $500nl or higher. My experience is based on 6 max $25nl and not zoom but 99% of the time your good reg opponents will play straight up ABC poker and betting will be super focused on value. They pretty much never bluff (especially big multi tablers - they don't have time to think it through); over folding is an excellent exploit. Focus more on general exploits and less (if nothing) on GTO.

Yay Time for Ben to turn my brain into silly putty and then crush my puny brain into a million gto pieces
By the way 25nl has been going, I think that's what happened to me!
awesome content nick and Ben. its probably one of the best content here and you guys are providing it for free. thanks for the generosity and excellent work for both your viewers, subscribers and the poker community as a whole.
Thanks very much, really appreciate this! Glad you enjoyed it.
Enjoyed this format so much
Thanks, I'm glad it was well received!
Thanks a lot for this content man. I'm mostly a live player, been playing a bit online again, and this is super helpful.
You're welcome! Appreciate you watching, good luck!
Great Vid matey, props to bena as always, stay zen
Cheers mate! Hahaha that hand was a huge deal on stream at the time with Ryan and I was just happy ap to be able to shove lol. Turn is just a check obv but I needed a small win in this one!
#insanevalue with this vid, need to watch it again. Way too hard on yourself Nick, none were punts.
Appreciate it mate, and thanks for all your input on stream! I feel like I am appropriately hard on myself but thanks for confidence boost haha.
Awesome video and learnt a few things along the way! More please!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!

Great part 2!
Cheers Ryan lad.
Very good video and very learning good content. Ben also seems like a such a good guy.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it! Ben is an incredibly nice guy and an absolute legend.
Great educational video. Have you guys solved the A7s hand eventually?
Thank you! Yeah we did it afterwards but I can't actually remember the result, Ben did it quickly. If I remember correctly it was not good lol.
Can I like even before I watched it. The legend is back! (Bena) (sorry Nick)
You absolutely can, thank you! No need to apologise haha.
BENA BE MY DAD
I'm first in line for adoption.

Thanks! I definitely get caught up on my HUD too much, need to work on a lot at the moment!
15:36 when ben says to check the turn it's a check/call right?
Just found your channel Nick, this is great content. You and Ben compliment each other well, unreal
Thanks a lot, Jonny! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know!
really good stuff
thanks mate!

Whats ur job/r u looking to become poker pro in the foreseeable future? V fun vid btw get more ppl like him on if can plz
I've got a full time job, I'm not sure what the future holds for me in poker! Maybe one day, who knows.
Like in the dark!
Good man, thanks!
Tubulance ? im on a 40 BI downswing im sure ive made mistakes but honestly doesnt seem like i did anything outrageous !
Have a look over your database and review some hands!
What resources are you using to study out of interest?
At the moment my study is next to non existent! The most I do is send Bena some hands after my session. If I was to study it would be with GTO+ and my discord.
Nice!
Thanks, hope you enjoy it!
how many hands you have to play with an opponent to say you have info on him? 100 hands, 1K, 2-3k?
Probably something like 500 hands.
Wow this is what a iam guessing 17 to maybe 19 pre flop range is. Iam a lag. This range seems so nitty. Enjoy your content

I'm a tourny player what is 25 nl? 25 dollar buy in? Or is the 25 in relation to the blinds
Yeah $25 buy in, 10c/25c blinds.
