I appreciate the question in beginning..... I often deal with LOOOONG stretch of being card dead..... I normally deal with it well, however it's frustrating afterwards bc it looks like I'm playing like a "Nit" however I'm just not getting cards..... while I see maniacs play trash/ flop around n make hands.....🤷🏾‍♂️

@billthecanuck Ай бұрын

dont sweat people calling you a "nit".... i take it as a compliment if i have discipline to fold bad hands. i personally build a very nit "image" so i can throw out the occasional bluff and people believe me. most of the time it works, last night i had a guy look me up when i was getting out of line and people were surprised i bluffed so much, they always just assume i have it. /shrug

@billthecanuck yea..... I bluff more than ppl think when I'm playing with ppl who I play with often, so it does help..... just frustrating when u get nothing and/or 2nd best..

@@eugeneahmad5459 some games you can increase your bluff frequency, but in loose action games someone is likely to look you up.

When you finally get any playable hand (not in early position), 3-bet, and ppl will act like you have AK+, including after the flop.

Appreciate your comments about playing deep stack poker. I hardly ever have a truly deep stack and don’t get much practice in that situation. I have played several of the hands you warn about incorrectly and not been very successful. Good lesson for me. As always really think you’re making me a much tougher opponent!

I think you m8ssed some value with the AA hand. The 2 on the river, while completing a straight with a 3, isn't a card to be afraid of. What 3s are there. Unless the V is capable of a bluff raise, a quarter pot bet is likely getting called.

Doug, thanks for the great answer on card-death. Excellent advice, which I will use. Normally, I try to recognize the poor conditions, but IF the table is very good, I'll see if I can muster patience and have the discipline to play consistently. If I start feeling emotionally tilted or believing in "bad luck", I know to bench myself for a while, or be done for the day.

Great thoughts on deep stack poker! Definitely good food for thought. I normally buy on for 100 bbs, but win a few pots and you find yourself 300-500 bbs deep with a few opponents. Adjustments to play definitely need to be made. Thanks so much for your input.

WP. When you play 200BB, your "big" bets should be larger; otherwise you don't give yourself much of a chance to get all in by the river. 85s: I'd raise larger on the flop. If you're giving up after the turn, I think your bet needs to be larger because villain is probably not folding a flush draw for a bet that is less than 1/3 pot, and he's not making a mistake. A9o: How would you play a flush draw on this flop? I think I'd cbet this hand IP. Not saying that you should go for 3 streets. I just think you generally get more value by betting early and then checking down on the river if necessary. (That way you also get maximum information by forcing villain to show on the river instead of giving him the opportunity to muck.) 76s: It's so nice when villain plays poorly and gives you all his money. KQ: Crazy fold on the end unless he ONLY had a draw. Good fold by you.

@dougmccuskerpoker Ай бұрын

Totally agree, need larger opening sizes when deep. 85 definitely need to check turn and fold to action. A9, this player will try to steal a very high % if I check behind. KQ, I’m calling for pot odds with most of my hands.

What do you recommend to be properly bankrolled

@dougmccuskerpoker Ай бұрын

I would recommend a minimum of 20 max buy ins. So if you buy $500 x 20 bullets= 10k. Should allow you to play comfortably unless the game plays much bigger than normal.

I hate bomb pots. Crappy hands like 85S suck you when you would’ve folded them almost all the time. I wish they’d ban them from the casinos as they take sooo much time especially here in Texas with their obsession with PLO double board bomb pots as they charge by time too

On the 456 two spade board at the end with AsAx I'm not sure you need to be that passive. I'm more likely to have 76, 77, 86, 97 than 78 or 56 so I imagine the standard play is to bet especially if your opponent isn't one to bluff frequently.

My range should not hit that board hard, betting could expose me to my opponent forcing me out. I want him to bluff or over value his hand.

Not crazy about your “value” the river, when the second Ace had fallen (you holding the 8-5), when your opponent was most likely to have an Ace, or a better pocket pair, and him giving you a chance to minimize your counterfeited hand.

12:30 (KQ) this hand hard to follow (who opened, with how much, who called, how many players, Flop: who bet / _a player bet_ (??)/, who called, _player to my right_ (??), what initial opener did on flop??). . 16:47 they all played fishy. No one of them knew what they're doing. This includes the winner _(player at the end of table)_ . sB played horribly. How can you be 2 streets aggressor into multiway pot, then folding river bet that was 10% of a pot size??? _Player at the end of table_ must had AA/AK. (KT would not play this way) ...he had high pair that was too scared to raise, too scared to fold on both flop and turn. Once he saw SB checked river, he figured his AA/AK must be best hand. (as player to your right obviously missed everything). Again, SB was full of it...perhaps some combo draw with top pair (KQ/QTh). Then, on river when saw an "A", he shyt his pants: _"ohh, fkcu! My top pair is beat here. I fold to a min bet"_ . EDIT: I'd like to play at that table.
