Quick Zoom Session Looking For Review/Critique
Hey guys,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6XN-85F14o
I am a beginner and obviously have heaps of leaks.
If someone can be bothered and is willing to review my video and give their critique and suggest improvements that would be great.
Thanks guys

AK hand around the 7 minute mark.
- Squeeze is good
- On the flop I think you need to cbet. You don't have enough equity to check call and it's easy for villain to put a lot of pressure on you on later streets. You have the K of hearts to barrel some good turns. If you are going to check this hand it needs to be a check/fold.
- On the river you have an easy value bet, you are always ahead here and he always has a Qx or Ax so I'd bet a little bigger, 35% is just leaving money on the table in spots like that you can go as high as 55-65% pot.
7:50 JTs
- Again its a very dry K73 rainbow board, and you have JTs with the backdoor flush. You can't check call and you have a lot of good turns you can barrel whilst he will miss this board a lot and have total air. You need to cbet. I'd try and cbet more in spots such as this and keep the bet slightly smaller( 50-55% pot ) with a wider range. Do the same bet sizing with your value hands. When you have a hand like TT or JJ on a board like this it gets tricky. You can check call against most players(at micros for sure) and if you're up against a good regular you'll probably want to bet that hand to otherwise it's very exploitable and puts your hand face-up. So bet small with 100% of your continuing range etc.
- On the river as played, yeah he never has anything but you need to bet bigger. I think this is a pretty big leak that you are betting this small in these pots. He has A high a lot of the time here, a small pair he's trying to showdown or absolutely nothing. Nothing is never going to call but you want to put his Ax hands and his small pairs in a tricky spot because you'll have air a lof of the time here too and and to bet bigger with those hands. Your bet is still polarised so bet 3.5-4 instead of 2 IMO.
10:36 T3s in the CO
- I assume you used stats that the table was really nitty and took am ambitious steal here. But I don't think this should ever be an open. If you wanna exploit the nits in the blinds you can open pretty lose but I think T7s, 96s type hands are the lowest you should go. T3s is basically any 2 cards and it going to be so tough to play when you are called. So yeah keep exploiting nits but try and stay closer to the standard openings still otherwise you'll get punished.
- The btn is much different, against the same players T3s can be an open on the button but you need to make sure if you open hands this low you are defending wider against 3bets.
77 around 11:20
- I don't like the 3bet. It's a gross spot because the player behind is still left to act and if he 4bets you can't call. So I'd call if the opener was more passive(stats/reads) and fold if he's more aggressive.
-As played, you're in a 4bet pot. I don't think you should be betting 65% pot. The initial pot is already large and it's another super dry board you should bet smaller say 50% or it's harder for his middle pairs and floats to call.
- When faced with the raise, very well played with the re-raise. It's such a narrow range now he only has AK or a FD, possibly a straight draw once in a blue moon. So you want to charge his draws and get stacks in Asap. Raise size is good too, although maybe go slightly larger for the times he has draws so he has to jam or fold instead of having the option to just call with good odds.
K2o at 13:20 ish.
- Really don't think you should be raising the limper with K2o, you're pushing your luck a bit. When he limps he's much less likely to fold to your 4x raise than if you were stealing blinds. K2o might be too loose if it was on the button also at these stakes.
- As played, you have nothing but it's a dry board with a weaker player. You missed the cbet. You aren't gunna have many draws on this board anyway so having the 2 in your hand opens op a lot of turn barrel opportunities if an A drops etc with the gutshot straight draw. But you don't need to be balanced here against the weaker player. You need to just cbet 50% pot in all these spots. It's a dry board, he never has anything and will fold most of the time to this bet so just do it, then just giveup when called unless you hit the king. That's how you beat the micros. But not cbetting is a big leak IMO, you're giving away too many of these pots.
Q9s
- good fold. He made it a large 3bet size and you're near the bottom of your CO range. You can consider 4bet bluffing if he is 3betting too much and it was a smaller sizing. Never call this with that hand.
QTo the next hand
- I'd call here. Limp then a raise, you have high cards and buttons range is wide. You can profitably call here multiway and play pots with the weaker player when you hit.
88 UTG at 15:30
- I'd fold this to MP 3bet. You have so many stronger hands to call here and you're out of position. You're only calling here to set mine but OOP it's not going to be that profitable. But it can be ok I guess at 2NL because you'll likely get more stacks in when you do hit but I'd still lean towards folding against most nits.
J4s at 16:10
- Were you going for the check/raise? This is a great hand to bluff. You don't have that many Value hands but he will have a hard time calling you down with a 6x and has a lot of hands that can't call. This is one of the best bluffing hands you have. If you weren't going for a X/R you should be betting big on this turn, say 70% pot. And betting big on a lot of rivers.
- If you had bet the 9 on the river is the perfect card to continue with. It completes more of your draws, is another over card to his 8x 6x and you don't have many bluffs left on this river because you aren't going to be bluffing much on the Q turn regardless.
17:05 JTo
-JTo and JTs are one of the easiest hands to play in position as the raiser. The fish limped, I think it's just going to be so profitable to raise him to 4x then cbet on a lot of boards. I think you miss value here by folding hands like JTo even 9To in these spots.
- When you see someone limp you're reaction should be to play pots with this player. You don't need a great hand you. If you get in a pot with a slightly weaker hand he won't put you in a tough spot, you can get out of the pot easily, but you will win so often as he's probably just playing fit or fold postflop and if the baord is say, T 5 2, he will pay you off 2 or 3 streets with the 5 or his draw.
I stopped footage at 17:20.
These are all just my opinions, I'm not a pro by any means but I have been profitable at higher stakes a while back and have had an Elite subscription on here. But I hope I've given you a few things to thing about. I think you played it well for the most parts.
Big leaks I would say are missed cbets, small betsizing with value hands. You're slightly too tight against weak players limping and too loose in some seal spots. I think you're thought process should be "can I bluff" every time you don't make a good hand on the flop and see if theres another option rather than just check folding. If you can pickup more of those type of pots that is going to have a huge impact on your winrate.
Ty so much for your help and advice.
After reviewing the video with your comments and time stamps what you said made a lot of sense. I am playing a few spots far to wide and I will try improve my bet sizing to extract more value.
Ty mate.
