This standard play at 1/3 in Cleveland not even remotely special

Thanks for videos like these, absolutely love it 👌🏻

It’s face up because you can see the cards and you have Bart analyzing.

When I first started playing poker in the 1990's at Commerce, I always wore sunglasses, because I was nervous of the stakes I was playing in - to get through a hand was a day's pay for me; But I soon discovered after awhile of doing it, that when you wear sunglasses against unsophisticated opponents, it makes them not trust you, so I still do it now. Trust me, sunglasses against recs makes them think you are bluffing or weak.

Haha it's always so annoying, but it's better than an actual squeeze when you're holding a small pair, suited connector or Asmall suited.

@@benforshizzle of you have a small suited ace you should have 3bet yourself

I always assume its a small pp

Yea but your dealer loves it.

How is the grinding going for you?

jason hounsell Sounds terrible.

Lauro Padilla I’m not sure what you mean, I assume your referring to checking aces? However if we are 250BB’s deep, multi-way and you bet aces on that board your going to be in a world of hurt, I’ll raise sets, two pairs and draws - your going to be in a huge pot, with an overpair calling down hoping your good, any scare cards that come that complete flushes or straights you will hate and likely fold, even my draws have good equity, and my value hands just crush you. That’s why aces is a clear check on that board multi way. If your in a horrible game where people only raise good hands, fine - bet aces and fold to the aggression, against good players they will exploit you for c-betting too loose (aces on that board is too loose multi-way and the amount of overpairs I’ve put in ridiculous horrible spots when I jam the river is funny when they do bet that board)

@@jasonhounsell3297 No I 100% agree. Checking is definitely fine. What I was referring to when I said "Sounds terrible" was the quality of the games you play in. They sound very tough and unprofitable. To give you some context your 50p-1 games probably plays like a soft $5-$10 game in California.

Lauro Padilla Yea that’s what I always think watching Barts stuff and Brad Owens vlogs. You do get fish for sure who do silly stuff, but most the regs are much better, and the good regs in a 1-1 game have a really good understanding of theory. Betting small to keep ranges wide, they understand position and polarisation so you bet larger in polar spots etc... they can be tough. I have a few soft games I play in that are very profitable home games, however in the casino, you will get 3 bet fairly well. An example hand I played last night. We have AJ off in the HJ - folds to me and I open 3x - the button is a good player but not someone I’ve seen, a young Italian who I’ve seen his lines and they are very good. He 3bet to 14x. I can’t continue profitably as a call, and AJ has good removal, however off suit will under realise if I call. I 4 bet to 37x (we are 130bb deep) - button calls. Flop is AA4 - I down bet 19 into 74 (obv to get value from pairs, put KQ suited in a bad spot etc) - BTN flats - turn brings a backdoor flush on a 6 as well as front door flush draw - I check (if it goes check check I can go large on blank rivers and put some hands like JJ in a bad spot) - he jams turn for 80ish into 112 - I have to call at this point. He has A9 and turned the flush draw (sadly it hits) He had to defend in position to my 4bet pre as I sized small, obv has to call flop with say KQ with backdoors - when I check turn after small sizing I can have 10,10-KK as well as AX etc - his jam puts my range in a bad spot and with his bluffs he folds out a load of my pairs sometimes. AJ is middle of my range, as I will have AK a bunch, and aces sometimes - I also have a lot of 10’s - K’s - I obv have to call and hope he has not got AK or AQ. To be fair however that kid was better than the avg. reg at casinos, his defending and 3betting range from what I could tell was very good. That’s why I was happy to 4bet AJ as my bluff hand, against some other regs I might not as they are slightly value heavy but still are somewhat solid.

Defending A9 suited to a 4 bet on the BUT is awful. In position or not. 5 bet or fold. But honestly live games don't play on that intricate of a level so it's a fold. A10 suited is my cutoff there. Your OOP 4 bet range shouldn't be too many hands, AJ is a decent bluff candidate but should be mainly value in general. Easy fold in his spot.

it’s really not in casinos that have bigger games available regularly. 2/5 is only solid if it’s the biggest game offered.

Foxwoods? Is that place going to die because of the Encore now and Springfield MGM? -- Bart

Yes, that's true. There is the Twin Rivers Casino too. I'm a reg at Mohegan

The 2/5 games at encore are very juicy. On Friday and Saturday there are anywhere from 10 - 15. They’re tougher than this, but not particularly

Where do you play

TylerWx no it’s not , I play 2/5 games at best bet often, it’s not this soft

@@BradleyT2p2 i'm not a member but thanks for the thought.

“Old man coffee”

Guy was in position. He got led into.

Not only for this situation, but a balanced range in multiway pots is not a high priority. You want to maximize the amount of money going in the middle. Most of the action is value driven

Bruce M. $75 would be my guess

@@NKKK19 i suppose "not bloating the pot" is a factor in that? but you end up pricing in a lot of draws and stuff i would think. 4-way pots are tricky.

Im a bit shocked by his analysis on that QQ hand,i cant see anything wrong with a pot sized bet here,these guys are weak passive theyll call,also shocked at the guy folding JJ,no way that is correct.The pfr must be a nit and they know a pot sized bet means a really good hand. This is why analyzing these live games is not great for learning sound poker fundamentals.No way a pro folds JJ there just based on GTO

Rake

Because in low stakes, the donks call with craziness and you are trying to iso out those clowns.

lol 2/5 is low stakes for live poker for sure.. stakes can go up to 25/50 and 50/100 why would 2/5 be considered high?

You consider it mid-stakes?

@@911Ranger1 Online I'd consider it med/high stakes. It'd be much tougher online.

I almost screamed. He has a fucking set 8 ways. My butt clenched right away

Especially seat 1

You reckon if that folded AQ had hit his front card the dealer would have called his hand dead?

Hes an even worse lawyer too
