Samoleus 1k NL Part 4

Hi guys, just wanted to say that after the couple of posters that mentioned my habit of saying "you know", I've become much more cognizant of it. Unfortunately, this video and the next 4-5 by me had already been produced at the time that I was made aware of that. I hope those of you that are bothered by it can bear with it through the next few videos that are released.

thomasmastano, thanks for the compliments. unfortunately, I don't think that I will reduce the amount of detail in my explanations. after your suggestion of paring down the detail, I asked (in my blog) if that is what the rest of our members wanted. the overwhelming majority said that they want me to keep the amount of detail that I have in my videos. I'll shorten the explanations a bit for you and others in your camp, but the majority prefer my lengthier explanations. I hope you understand

Honestly, don't worry too much about repeating things like "you know", everybody says something like that. If you can do videos without it - well done and great for us, but don't worry too much - the important thing is the poker theory you give us. About the amount of detail in your explanations I think the real question is what level you should put your thoughts on. Do you want to go through simple concepts in detail or should you assume we all know why you sometimes 3-bet garbage preflop?

against bad players i will almost always 3x or 3.5x or 4x the BTN if i can get away with it. since there calling range is pretty much the same and i want to get in as much money as possible when i have positional advantage. against standard regs who arent too trigger happy with 3betting ill just std 3x. What do you think of all of this?

You play well and explain yourself well, but your explanations can get pretty laborious and repetitive at times - as is the case again with the QQ hand and the AK hand at minute 32.

with the Ac5x hand, he is likely to have a real hand (ie a king or a pocket pair) and not a flush draw. a flush draw is less likely to continue on a paired board (and would often raise if he did decide to continue). when the flush gets there, he can't really raise much. and given that he does have a real hand, he is more likely to call a bet than try to turn it into a bluff on the river. with the TT, there is a very very small range of better hands (if any) that will fold to a turn bet and

that makes sense (in the TT hand). Essentially you're saying you don't like to bet hands in the middle of your range/bottom of your value range since its very hard to get called by worse and would prefer to just bet bluffs instead. The only other one was a betsizing thing 9877r in 3bet pot, you hold QTs and bet 190 into 210 on the turn. Why so large? Are you just trying to discourage peels from Tx hands which beat you? (AT/KT) I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos.
