Diego fires up six tables of $.50/$1 (with a couple of $1/$2 tables mixed in) and reviews his play.

I find 6 tables too confusing, especially when you jump through different hands before finishing the previous one.
Sometimes is hard to know which hand you are talking about.
Also is really difficult to watch 6 tables on a small screen (iPad).
I can tell that your analisys of the hands is very interesting though so i would love you to do same format with maybe 3 tables.

Hi diego how do you get odds to show up like that is the a HEM thing?
totally agree with 4 tables for live videos (not bad for session review)
Cool intro man!!

oh man your a SSer/1/2Ser xD

Yes, it was a feature from 888Caption, but I think it doesn't work anymore because it was against 888's T&Cs

Thanks! Cool intros will continue in the future ^^

Thanks for the video Diego.

One comment about the last hand, I honestly think it's pointless to have a bluff range in this spot (for the shove turn I mean). It might make sense at a GTO level but practically speaking, the action on the flop shows a lot of strength from all the players and you'll only have some fold equity for both of them at once when you have the nuts because you're not blocking the draws.

What I mean by that is there's basically two situations:

_ You raised a draw on the flop. Those are the hands that are candidates for a bluff shove, but at the same time you're massively blocking the two ranges that you want them to have (for example if you have JTs as you mentioned). So the probability that at least one of them has a very strong hand he'll easily call is very high.

_ You raised the nuts on the flop (like this time). In this scenario, being against two draws is at least possible but you obviously want to shove anyway because there's no point in giving a free river, they'll only pay if they hit (and you're potentially losing value against some good hands if a scary river comes).

You mentioned that the guy who called you could have KJ but I strongly disagree with that, he never ever has KJ. The "weakest" hand (that isn't a draw) I can see him have is AK against a big donk bet and a strong raise. And if he calls flop with AK, he's calling turn on a brick (or he should fold flop).

Basically it's a spot where it's in the open that players have nuts/strong draws so it's more of a "ok we know we both have nut hands, let's see who has the better one" type of action. And trying to incorporate bluffs that will massively block what you're trying to get TWO folds from is useless.

A few remarks...

1-About shoving a draw. I', almost 100% sure I said in the video JT would make a fantastic bluff for all the reasons you mention. T9 would also be a nice raise flop and continue on a blank. Low clubs would also be nice candidates.

2-The guy who donks already proved in that video that he donks merged, as he did in the first hand, so Kx given the action and both player holdings is somewhat likely. Draw of course is a possibility.

3-I don't think I said in the video that having high clubs would make a terrific shove, I said I would like to have hands that have equity but unblock villain's folding range like JT

Hello great video!Just a random question!Is it worth playing on poker888 without rakeback at all? Because they changed their rakeback system.send me a private message with your own opinion if you want!Thank you!

Diego Ramirez 8 years, 2 months ago

Well, many people think like that, but I still think it's a profitable site.

My sample on 888 is 200k hands at 10evbb. Not having rakeback sucks but it's a fishy site with a good software if you use 888caption

the Ajo hand @21 min, did you check if you should go full range on the flop on PioSOLVER? I think you should but just curious.

Rambi 7 years, 7 months ago

Great video diego, one thing i wish to ask you, for example if we are versus fish and flop is rainbow A75 (we are dealer fish is in blinds) should we go more often more then 30-33% (whole range) and abuse the fact that fish will call 1/2 and 33% the same more or less?
While obviously betting whole range versus rest of the players.
On the 55 hand 40min 34 sec, is there merrit to betting perhaps a bit smaller and getting called more often or you think all in is the way to go at all times?

Diego Ramirez 7 years, 7 months ago

I hear that king od argument all the time. If fish is doing X, shouldnt we do Y? Well, the answer is of course! If fish calls the same to 1/3 than to 1/2 we should definitely bet bigger, but that's too much of assumption in my view, and that's not how I approach poker, at least on the flop where I like to be much more solid on my strategy.
