Good video but would love to see you play some more deep plo.
I'm gonna stick with this for another week or two, because I'm in the US at the moment and can't record more footage. Once I'm back, I'll hop into some of my own action. Keep the requests coming!
Moar!! I def prefer these over your own live action vids.
Hi, Phil. What your advice would be on how to play hands on the button versus a loose cut-off opener, that aren't good enough to call, ok to 3bet, but facing loose vpip players on the blinds that are going to call your 3bet?
Hands like J573ds, 9456ds etc. You don't want to play multiway pot with them do you? But you can't get to HU pots since players from the blinds cold-call a lot.
Thanks, and sorry if it's a bit off topic.
When the blinds have wide cold-call ranges, I probably just fold these hands. Just because someone has a loose opening range doesn't mean you'll be making money by 3-betting low equity / medium playability hands.
A lot of people feel that every perceived leak deserves a strong response, but it's just not true. You want to make sure you punish him for opening such a weak range, but you get to punish him already when you have good hands.
That said, J753ds and 9654ds are normally 3-bets for me in this spot for the reasons you mentioned. I just don't want you (or others) to get carried away and start "punishing" loose opens by 3-betting J732ds or K874ss type hands.
If the CO opens wide and is very bad postflop, it's another story, and isolating him with hands you might otherwise fold becomes a good option.
Hey Phil, nice video as always.
I was wondering could you maybe do a video of playing from the sb? What kind of hands to overcall, defend, 3bet... And also what kind of hands to limp/steal with when folded to you. I myself have a lot of trouble with it and in my games it seems no one really knows what to do...
Thanks jaeyman! This one will have to go on my backburner - I've addressed playing post OOP postflop after 3-betting, but preflop precision isn't my strength. I don't feel confident enough to give you strong advice on this spot.
Hey Phil,
I think when you want to release content that is significantly lower than your normal stake, review vids are the way to go. The problem (which I'm sure you realize) is that when you play in those games as Mr Sweets, the meta is altered in an unpredictable way when opponent knows they are playing versus a highstakes player on camera. And while it's cool to try to figure out how certain opponents will react to that, it's not super useful/applicable for your average viewer.
Very good point. I think I'll do this more often.
29:40-- you recommend Hero limp 9754 single suited from the SB after it folds around to him.
do you think you give up much equity by limping your whole range in this spot (and perhaps, constructing a limp-re-raising range)?
at mid-stakes I find many players overreacting to limps from SB and raising too frequently / misreading your range during later stages of the hand. thoughts?
I'd be very surprised if limping our whole range is the best strategy.
I think that splitting up your strong hands into a raising range and a LRR range is the best way to proceed (keeping certain 'types' of hands in each range - specifically AAxx/KKxx, etc). There are some hands that prefer being the hand that 3-bets and others that prefer being the hand that opens and/or 4-bets. In other words, some hands to better at certain SPRs.
I don't have all the answers, but that's a good place to start if you want to delve deeper into playing from the SB.
Very nice vid, Phil. I really enjoy this format. It's s good to watch your thoughts into "normal people" lines lol
When you're talking about your lines, you almost never make a mistake, so sometimes this kind of video is more "real"(including the fact that you're playing midstakes zoom).
Thanks Phil
really nice vid and format good job :-)
