I think notification would be better for threads imo since you already can get a pile of stuff in the feed from all the other activity going on.

I think it sounds like a good topic as well

The jam from the other guy is mostly made up of mid pps+ and probably about AJs+, AQo+ (since he has just over 10bbs and should always be getting called after reshoving over the open here. The flatters range should be somewheres around mid PPs+ as well, A10s+, AJo+ and a few broadway combos like KQs. On my phone at the moment so I cant do this for you right now but throw it into stove and see how your hand does against those two ranges, you would be surprised at what they are set at. But if you are deciding to continue with the hand I think you should rejam and not flat

Thanks guys, and yea I totally agree with you on the note taking during videos Viktor, I do that now already with nlhe videos that I watch orr for replayers I pause before the coach/presenter speaks and I say what I would do in that spot then see what the presenter states about the given spot and compare the differences (helped a ton with my learning curve)

Ben, how come your saying for that hand ( ^ ), for him to take the line x/r x/c looks stronger than the x/r, bet line? Could you explain why that is for me please so I could have a better grasp and understanding on the PLO side of different line thought processes for these type of scenarios/hands?

Thanks appreciate it Mikey

Grayson so would you double barrel this spot instead of the check on turn?

looks like a fun setup

Michael we were on the bubble here (9 itm) so ICM is involved a bit as well.. Only played about 5 hands at this table (got transferred over from the other table to balance out) so didn't have a lot of information on all of the players here

Given the range that you perceive him to have and the history you have with him i believe you have to fold river as well. I dont think you win here enough times as a bluff catcher to make it profitable call.. Matt already did the math on it for that range as well :)

Oh ok cool..I think it would be interesting to see a topic done on donk-betting if you are ever looking for something to do a video on. There's not a whole lot out on it and when used correctly I feel it can really help out in the games, either defending them or utilizing them yourself.

Hey here's a little video on flopzilla hopefully that helps you out more

Thanks for the input guys...So lets say same dynamics how wide are you reshipping in this given spot? Whats your cutoff hand here

If you know he is a spazz or state him as a spazz and with your thought "I CIB to induce” why would you want to CIB bigger if he is a spazz and your plan is to induce him? So wouldn’t going bigger just limit his spazzing range to his stronger holdings opposed to keeping it smaller where he has more room to “spazz”?

I actually have played with and without a hud. I started out playing live poker so I when I transferred over to the online scene I was new to the whole hud scenery. I have played with hm2 before and I do from time to time but I always seem to run into problems with the program (could just be because Im a noob with the software) so I don’t religiously rely on it (which the live poker has helped me out with). Two successful plays in my opinion off the top of my head include Tom Dwan and Alex Fitzgerald, now they both primarily play different games however they do venture into the other realms and play the other game ie: Dwan plays more cash than mtts, and Fitzgerald played more mtts than cash however still plays cash. Dwan has stated that he does not use a hud at all while playing (Andressopranno showed me where he stated this a week or two ago actually) whereas Fitzgerald swears by hm2 and the success he has had with it. (You could also throw Galfond into the mix because I don’t recall seeing him use a HUD in the majority of his videos that I have watched in the past either, but you could probably hear his input on it).

As far as what you are stating regarding the vpip and players changing gears from early game where they are playing a nit range compared to a middle/late stage where they tend to loosen up and maybe somewheres in the 22-32 range (just throwing out some numbers), I believe you are correct about inaccurate data at this time because you do not have a large sample of hands on the player. Basically what you can use it for is seeing how often they are opening from a certain position out of how many attempts, etc. to give you a general idea. I was recently talking to Andressoprano the other day and he made the statement that at the majority of stakes “worrying” about balancing your range against the majority of opponents is ridiculous because you just don’t have a large enough sample of hands on the players (for the most part) unless you get up to higher stakes (like Galfond and playing the same person day in and day out) and that is where you would be more inclined or need to start encompassing more of that stuff in.

Not sure if any of that helps out any, but I would go with whatever one you feel more comfortable playing with and when you do use a HUD what are your primary uses for it, as in what stats are you primarily looking at or trying to gather information on.

Confirmed

Thanks Nic, I'll be checking a few of these out over the course of the week :)

Thanks buddy, sent email

Min pp that you'll 3b/c here?

I'll look through my database and send you some stuff tonight.
