Gary Chappell aka Chaps1988 gets into the action right from the jump in a 44 entry pool that is skewing soft.

hi Gary Chappell

11:56 you fold 97s in the HJ. Earlier in the video you said J9s is basically a pure open, T8s is a mix and 97s a fold as shown here. Just wondering if you can offer any advice to my RFI chart for 100NL with a lot of recreational players. Not sure if i'm burning money with some of these SCs or not. Also playing ATo and KJo from LJ and mostly going 3-4 ways to the flop.

It looks fairly solid ranges. I would just question whether T8s/97s is profitable from HJ. And J9s UTG is questionable. But depends how your pool plays - maybe open them in weak lineups.

Yeah, not sure how good it is in high rake structure and vs good opponents whereby cant realise as much equity postflop. I should imagine in most ranges its a purely mixed hand in terms of limp-call or open, and facing a 3bet call/4bet/fold.

nice video. the addition of the PIO analysis at the end is a big positive imo.

where are you playing nowadays? barely see you on Stars grinding any longer. guess you are on Party or something where you actually get rakeback :D

I'm currently on a bit of a poker sabbatical. Have some personal stuff going on that I need to sort out, and also its a good time for me to look to the future and have plans/qualifications in place if I cant/don't want to continue with poker, as playing until i'm 50 is not that appealing or realistic imo. Had a really good start of the year so allowed me the chance to do that now.

I've still been dipping in and out of the games and put in some reasonable volume, but I'll be back at it fulltime at some point when my head is in the right place etc.

I only played 200z when 500z wasnt running.

All my videos that will be posted in next couple months or so are from Jan-March when I was grinding fully, and then I'll be back fulltime so my videos 2nd half of this year will be from that.

appreciate the honesty in your response! yeah that's fair enough. shame about the timing of these personal issues though as the games are so soft atm, but sometimes other things are more important than poker :P

fwiw i actually thought you had improved quite a lot recently, the PIO study seems to be paying off. so i thought it would have been a strange time to walk away from the game haha.

see you again at the tables soon!

Yeh that’s why I’ve still been playing some of the time, as realise it’s a good time to play. But don’t wanna overdo it and not my focus right now.

Cheers for the comments. .

Nice video mate. Few questions:

20:30 Table 2: What are our bluffs OTR? I find it always difficult to find bluffs on 4 to flush board.

26:00 Table 2: Do you think that a range bet OTF as a strategy losses EV compared to check/bet strategy on these kinda of boards?

28:10 Table 1: Is it too nitty to check back OTR in nitty games like 100z with our hand?

35:00 Table 2: In ranges that I got ATs is beeing called and even used as 5bet bluff jam in these positions. I see your threshold for calling here AJs. Would you say that at lower stakes like 100z folding is the right play?
