Did Runitonce get rid of their store? Only see books and courses listed. Wish they sold flex fit hats. Would 100% buy one.
Hand #2 13min QdJd open 2bb, get 3bet to 9.25bb with 37.5bb effective to start the hand. I was surprised how tight hero is supposed to play this spot via snowie. Stack depth has a pretty big impact on it. I plugged effect stacks into snowie and you can see continue range on the right [88+ AK+ AJs+] compared to 100bb stacks on the left [88+, AQ+, A10s+, QJs+] but also mixes in more flats and less 4 bet or fold. Green squares basically pure 4bet and black numbers are 4 bet frequency.
Usually don't watch MTT videos, but have to watch Krab :-P
Here is the link to the WPT video Kevin Rabichow is reviewing. 29:30 of linked video for start to the Jh9h hand.
Did you notice Jh9h on the AT8hh-9x board you look around a lot after betting the turn. On the river you tend to just look at your own stack and the board and not at your opponent, you did take a quick glance but can tell you were more comfortable. Maybe easier to see the tell knowing the hole cards. Obviously not worried about opponents hand holding the nuts on the 7h river, but body language also tells the same story.
I like your critical eye for this! I'm certainly not an expert in controlling my body language. I try to be consistent in looking at my opponents only when the action is on them, and only if there is going to be further action (that is, I wouldn't keep looking up if I'd gone all-in). I have used this footage to do a bit of review on body language already, but perhaps it merits a second look!
Why don't you want to look at them when it's not there turn? Can pick up tells when the flop hits the felt and their eyes get bigger or they sit up straight etc. Doesn't tell the whole story, but you know they are interested in the board and you'll likely have less FE from this tell or can size up with your value hands as an exploit. Zach Elwood makes a lot of videos on tells like these. Of course you don't wanna be a weirdo and just stare people down entire time. However, if you are only looking at them when it's their turn, they may give off false tells on purpose. I always love the "false tell" of them being unhappy when the flush comes in, then they raise you LOL.
Yea these are great points, and I would aim to be the most aware of what my opponent is giving off during moments like when they check their cards, or when the flop/turn/river comes. What I probably should have said is that when the action is on me, I wouldn't break my gaze to look directly at them, as they're quite likely to be observing me closely during that time. I can also tell from peripheral vision if they're staring me down or not, in case that is useful information for me.
Haven't watched this yet, but kudo's on the youtube quality title. I see you have been in the lab. Made me click :)
Credit to the RIO team for the titles, I almost never submit them!
