16:04- flopped K flush hand. Isn't his flop bet sizing trying to induce a shove from short stacker and his turn play is setting an all in situation OTR? Can we get away from this hand OTR?
as I said during the video I gave him all AAxx-combos , so he will have the A-blocker a decent amount of the time that he would probably play the same. In other spots I may consider folding Turn or River but here I think folding 2nd nuts would be a mistake
it's def on the loose side and I wouldn't advocate it as a standart open. these hands dont play that great multiway OOP and only mediocre against 3bets.
What was your aggression (agg or agg%) while playing plo50 zoom? You dont have that in your HUD, neither steal stats for example. Do you use the same HUD when you play higher stakes and normal tables?
@ 7.20, Slayer opens CO,gets flatted by SB and CB AAJ5 @ Q98r (+BD Nut FD). I like to have this hand in my X-back range. I think it is slightly to strong to be bet / folding the flop here and I do not think we should have a very high CB % in this spot since our range will be too weak. What do you guys think?
against passive players I prefer cbetting since we dont expect to get bluffraised. vs tough players I actually still prefer bet/folding and rather check back a stronger hand like AAKJ with BD-NFD that can continue on more turns vs a bet.
@ 28.50, Slayer flats A992, gets 3Bet (small) by BB who makes a 60% CB @ AJ2 2f into 2 players. Slayer raise/folds the flop with top and bottom here. Why is it better/whats the reasoning for turning this hand into a "bluff" compared to the more standard call down / use your position?
top+bottom has bad playbility on future streets and on this board I expect any hand that is not AJ+ to just call (like KhK*h*) or AKQ , so we can shove turns lower then a 9 and give up on broadways since they very likely inprove his range. If we just call we allow him to apply pressure with his semibluffs and have to make a decision for stacks basically (call Turn and blank Rivers or just fold Turn).
calling isnt terrible by any means and I dont make these 'raise for information' all that often, I just thought it was a decent spot for it.
38:50 right table; Loose open i get, but is this std. for you to call a 3b OOP with those hands always/sometimes/rarely, here to balance out your 3b calling range vs. unknown 3bettors vs. UTG??
I prefer to defend these hands vs tight players that are AA/highcard heavy (which I assume are most zoom50 players) and would consider folding vs tough, well balanced 3betters. Usually I fold most mediocre rundowns UTG and only open the gapless, preferably ds ones, depending on table conditions.
Min 18:35, I love your style, but can only work when you know when to stop, otherwise you bleeding money in that spots. I would say that oop you need more careful because this players are slow playing a bunch in position.
sure, it's a thin line between + and - EV but I think when there are enough better hands in his range that we can potentially make him fold then bluffing can't be wrong.
checking against a very tight player is ok, but I see a lot of value in betting vs weaker players/callhappy players that won't fold a hand like JhJ*h* and don't fold any rivered flush
the benefit of betting is that we can get called by a lot of dominated draws.
but ya, there is nothing wrong with cbetting less and playing more pot control with your medium/good hands. In the end everybody should play a style he feels confortable with.
glad you enjoy the videos! I invite you to browse through the plo-videos and see which ones you find interesting. I would assume that it's possible to beat plo25 with a tight, solid approach.
gl!

thanks for great vid! It's always enjoyable to watch your playing.
Great vid alien, I really enjoyed all 4 of your vids~! Keep up the great work!!
Get a new microphone plox ^^ no offence but it sounds like you are sitting in a room without anything but your pc and 1 meter away from the mic
8:15-that seems like a horrible spot to rep a straight. As agro as you seem in this video, are you ever checking back qt on the flop?
i would not cbet 100% of my QT combos, in addition I dont think balancing mathers a lot vs unknowns.

nice video: 17:24: UTG are you always open hands like medium pairs which are semi coordinated single suited as a default? and why/why not?
thx in advance

Hi!
Just watched a few minutes yet.
Can you tell us about your color coding a bit?
What was your aggression (agg or agg%) while playing plo50 zoom? You dont have that in your HUD, neither steal stats for example. Do you use the same HUD when you play higher stakes and normal tables?
Thx!

Ok i love the video - i hope we will see more from you in the future!

great video man and awesome thought process, hope i will apply some of it :D keep up the good work

Min 19.30 Table 2, again I dont like your 2 Barrel, in my opinion check plays best in that situation, but maybe I am wrong.
checking against a very tight player is ok, but I see a lot of value in betting vs weaker players/callhappy players that won't fold a hand like JhJ*h* and don't fold any rivered flush
Min 20:25, 4 ways we have little fold equity, again i think checking flop plays better in our wrap.
the benefit of betting is that we can get called by a lot of dominated draws.

Hi nice video thx you are German ?
at 20:15 hand - left table
what happens if the turn bricks? like a 2... do we shove, x/c or x/f?!
c/c if i have enough EQ vs to call it off , so probably any non-pairing card
hi im new to this site loving the videos. just out of curiousity is there any 25pl zoom videos and is it possible to defeat 25pl due to rake?
