Discussion for Phil's 6 Tables Midstakes NL Live.

At 19:30, what do you think about villan's play with 99? Can someone balance there by 4bet/calling 88+ and 4b bluffing?

Great video. I don't mind the drifting nature of the commentary in this because you get around to some really great points. For a really tight UTG range, would you still open all pocket pairs? KQo? AJo? I assume if someone wants to play less than 20% of hands, they will eventually have to adjust their preflop all in ranges, but when a laggy player is doing this to "change gears", should they still be getting in the same range of value hands since the opponent won't have adjusted yet? On the other end of playing "different" than most regs preflop is a guy on pokerstars who opens more than 40% of hands from every position while winning at a good rate at mid-high stakes. It seems this should be very exploitable. Since no one else is doing it, is it just that regs haven't taken the time to figure it out or adjust? So did it feel gross open folding 98s preflop? :P

seems like even phil doesn't have a big edge in those games anymore, which gave the whole vid kind of a pessimistic undertone. otherwise good video, especially for the "fancy play syndrom" guys. maybe it is really time to switch to omaha, gonna check out the omaha transition vids soon ^^

I wish PLO didn't exist.

 

Great vid.
