A9o BU: I'm not sure about the cbet here. This flop is going to be hit by villain a lot, with pairs, straight and flush draws. You think villain would bet tiny with his nuts and overbet with bluffs? 1. Not many players overbet. 2. That strategy seems backwards, since you are not folding your good hands to overbets and your marginal and trash hands will fold to just about any bet. J9s: "SB should always be 3bet or fold" - unless BB is terrible and calls wide. KK: Not much you can do so mw. 86ss: You are much more likely to get called on the flop, somewhat less likely to get called on the turn than on the flop. I just bet early hoping overcards, pp, draws call. QTo: "Seemed a little small for a mw pot" - bets SHOULD be smaller in mw pots. "With this small sizing out opponent is saying he has a weak top pair or an absolute monster." Those two hand types should have completely different bet sizing. Truthfully, a weak top pair should be checking this turn a lot. A2dd: You're going to be easy to play against. Your bet sizes are governed by the strength of your hand. Just bet the turn big. There's a possible flush draw and the T brings a straight draw. You could have either of those hands too. Just bet everything large and make people guess whether you are strong or weak. 85 is way too small. With only 340 to start, I'd just jam turn.

I appreciate a Jamal Agnew highlight

I play tournaments for fun. Poker cash games have all the players you described but what about the ones that are decent and have unlimited bankrolls. I have seen guys drop 2K and just keep buying in. You get pocket AA and the board come 7 2 and they bet you all in. You lose every time. I know that is poker but I do not want to play against people with so much money they can run over the table. So I do not get involved in these type of games.

Nice candid vlog. Appreciate it

QQ is a fold facing a 4 bet, especially in low stakes. Their range is AA, KK, and AK - a flip or getting crushed.

These are my exact sessions

Love your vlogs man! I play in a small 1/3 game in southern indiana. The last couple weeks have been brutal for me. Heres to July! 😂

The A6cc I think the turn bet was a blocker bet which in turned worked for out for him because to little to fold but board had to much out their to raise.

love showing every hand. Felt bad for you on the run it twice hand.

AA limp....

This entire video you only played pocket pairs???

Don't complain so much please.

Nice vlog. Keep up the good work!

Idiot sandwich skit cracked me up 😂

Ahahhahhah Key and Peele "Substitute Teacher" scene ... 😂😂😂

which app do you use that breaks down the monthly results? i use poker bankroll tracker but it doesnt have a breakdown by month like what you're showing in the end of the video

Pocket Kings are the new Pocket Jacks 💩

it's pretty simple, you have: Nits - narrow range, only raises JJ+, zero bluffs Stations - wide range, chases draws, loves to see flops Maniacs - any two will do, likes to build big pots and make big bluffs Crushers - flexible range, optimal bet sizing, exploits opponents' weaknesses, table changes when necessary

what’s your overall opinion of Stones?

In the AQ vs J9 hand you had 2A, 3x8, 3xQ and 4xT for 12 outs. Don’t cut yourself short. ;)

Great vlog! I’m looking forward to the next one!

Your AsJs hands on the turn has a lot of fold equity since if u bet and make and one pair hand or lower pocket pair fold then u actually realize said fold equity

Hi, I'm new to your channel. Thanks for your content. How do you classify players like me that don't fit your color scheme? I am a semi tight to semi moderate tightness to looseness ratio, about a 24% VPIP, and see the flop about 26,27% of time in sit n go's, tournaments, cash games. I am semi aggressive, and bluff about 7 to 17 to 33% of the time, depending on situation(1 time I went all in every 2,3,4 hands no matter what I had preflop, because nobody at table called unless had AA. Went on to win that 115 person $50 buy in tournament for a $900 win)(was at a tribal casino). My playstyle, etc, is I play positional poker, and a mix of exploitative, and GTO mix, combination, into 1 method, style. I cbet about 49% to 67% of time depending on situation, game, tournament, position, table, player, skill edge, stack sizes, etc. I am a semi winning, semi poker shark, etc, player. Have been playing since about 2005, for about 17,18,19 years both at Brick and mortar casinos, and online. Offline I have cashed about 115 to 125 to 135 out of about 300 tournaments, and cash about 36% of sit n go's, tournaments, etc, and have about a 19% ROI in tournaments, sit n go's, cash games, etc, both online, offline, etc. I have read, studied, applied, learned from my poker coach, mentor, Harrington on Hold Em, Super System by Doyle, Full Tilt Tournament green book by Chris Ferguson, Helmuth's poker book, skalansky's poker book, Full Tilt poker academy, Upswing Poker, J Little's Poker coaching academy, 2+2 poker forums, Bart Hanson at Crush Live Poker, Nathan Blackrain Poker videos, Doug Polk videos, Poker Profit Vlog, numerous poker blogs, experience, etc. So if someone like me was at your table, how would you label them?(I"m often mislabeled by everybody at the tables in some form) I think you need to come up with a color for a poker shark, winning player, etc, as I don't think your color scheme accounts for players like me, sharks, winning players, etc. As for how you did, I agree with you, that you need to widen, expand your ranges, work on your bet sizing, make more multi purpose bets that make draws pay too much, extracts value, turn hands into semi bluffs, protects hands from draws, etc, that bigger bets, about 3/5 to 2/3 to 3/4 to 4/5 to pot to 1.5 pot to double pot to all in, etc, depending on situation, etc. I do think you need to bluff more, and when bluff, pick better spots(altho sometimes you probably do bluff in good spots, and just keep running into buzz saws), and need to Tilt less, and know when to quit, etc. Hope that helps you, others. Thanks again for your content. Hang in there, and good luck, etc.

Identifying does no good playing against me cause Im constantly changing my style and plays LoL

I'm new to poker and not very good but I'm learning alot from the table and your vlog. Can you show us what your set up for recording looks like... is your phone on a stand?

You won’t play Q9 suited? I get folding it in early position but would definitely raise in hijack or later

If anyone in the room (or the building) wants to know the time, they can just look in the direction of your table mate. Jesus, I've never seen a watch face that large.

I enjoy your vlog and appreciate your transparency. Time for variance to give way to an upswing.

Yessszz love the videos

Sounds like the way I ran!!

You lied to me and said you would play A2 suited “blood diamonds” next vlog! 😂

Very tight table

Thanks for posting your graph/stats! I’m always second guessing myself about playing poker so seeing people’s results lets me see how I’m doing. My 2024 results so far are 1/2 NL 165hours and +7116 for $43.09 an hour. Lifetime since 2022 for 1/2 NL im at 732hrs and +33620 for $45.92 an hour. I feel you about running bad - honestly feels like I only have losing sessions because I get it all in as a 80+% favorite and don’t hold - I so rarely punt and bc of that almost never get it in bad. Poker is just a ruthless game no matter how well you play.

Bro ur missing one more player type: pro. Low stakes pros like me do exist. Its rare but we exist. Edit: also another one: Nit.

This is why we play Capitol Casino. Thunder and Stones is shite for action.

12:13 isn't that what you want, is to be called by worse?

I understand some of your play, but some of your cbets are abit off. Like KQ on A52 multiway is just pure check. Even heads up like CO vs BB, good Kx usually checks here, since not much worse folds to a bet and Bb has all suited Ax. Also when you 3b QQ and get 4b clicked to 120, i think jamming is the worst option. I think you could make an argument for folding even, since the 4b click is just so nutted in low stakes. At best, you are against AK, since they are never/ever/ever finding the bluff here with like A5s/ATs/KQs etc. All in all nice play and good results! I might have to hop in the GG game 😂

Glad you got your dog a nice couch! Might need to get him a buddy to share it with lol. A couple thoughts; on your J9 hand after your 3bet, I think you kinda played your hand face up. Against that opponent it probably wouldn't matter but if you had a missed AK you would probably downbet to $40 after 3betting to $45. If you play your made hands the same way you play your missed hands (especially on the flop) you'll look polarizing to opponents and be tougher to play against. On your A2 of spades flush, I think you could've bet larger when you made your flush. The opponent had nothing this time, so no matter what you did you weren't getting paid but when the opponent does make a flush you want max value. How many times have you seen opponents fold even a 5 high flush? I feel like they're almost never folding that. Also, some opponents will even call a large bet with like QJo type hand with 1 spade. Great content and love the vlog! Looking forward to seeing you crush your end of year goal!

As a poker player of 51 years I agree.

What color are you?

What about adding a category for good players, crushers, and wizards? I play in a terrific 1/3 game and the player pool is very wide. But there are several very competent players--I would think your fellow vlogger, Doug, would be one of the competent ones. How about adding a "Doug" category? Great vlog and hope you start to run better.

Cease and desist from playing A/9 off suit...from any position, lol! Also, I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put into making these videos; by now I've become familiar with the fact that filming, editing footage, taking notes on each hand, etc as a poker vlogger is a very time consuming process so kudos to you, sir, for such a well done job! Keep em coming every Sunday!

When you flopped two pairs and you betted he had nothing on the flop with J7❤??? Went runner runner❤ that's a horrible bad beat that's a loose player It's like that at the gardens casino in LA too many reckless players

As a person who is also on a downswing currently constantly getting out flopped or rivered, what are you best points of advice for recovering/keeping your head up?

Quick question- what app are you using to track your results?

I think your bluffs are off because you bluff in some wrong spots. Can’t check check and bluff river. You will get called most of the time.

1bb / hour = not bad. Winning!

my son turned me on to ur site. so as kurt said... "here we are now, entertain us!" ✌🏻👽

Won't make you feel any better, but I started strong in January and faded some in May and June. Currently running + $11.50 per hour. Unless I have an unexpected run, I also will miss my goal of a yearly profit of $12k.

Hey what app are you using to track all that? You're a good player man. Noone plays perfect.
