Discussion for Samoleus 400 NL HU Part 1.

Wow thanks for such a great compliment ElCapitan! ... I have created a thread in the BFP video discussion forum to discuss your specific questions.

boredatheist, you are making the mistake of wanting to play against what your opponent SHOULD do and not what he DOES do. my opponent was playing back at me a lot when I did make moves, and he was paying off when I did have hands. so my strategy was optimal against the way that he was playing. remember, you should always optimize against your opponent - NOT against how you think your opponent SHOULD play.

On that hand where you stack btm 2 K6, what is worst hand that you stack with a turn shove? If you had AJ in your spot instead of K6, how would you proceed v. a c/r and follow through? I like your vids and this one made me realize that I have a top pair problem myself. I stack top pair too liberally v. a c/r. I also c/r and stack the turn too thin at time with top pairs myself. I would have played AT the same as villain. Do you ever c/r top and how thin do you do it?

i don't mind his line with A/T, though i'd reserve it for later in a match with more info where i think it'll work much better i think he just leveled himself

As far as actual game play went, it seemed like you c/c'd the flop a lot with A high (or K high on an A high flop) or PPs, but then folded the turn all the time, even though he was double barrelling a lot. I know you need to do that sometimes for balance, it just seemed like you did it a lot. Maybe something you could discuss in a later vid?

Good videos. You mentionned how aggressive he was in the video but to be honest he wasent really that aggressive exept for a lot of 3 betting preflop. I dont think his 5 bet shove with KQ was that bad. I would guess that his asusmptions at that point was that a good part of your 4 betting range was air. You mentionned that you use some of your best hand that cant quite call 3 bet to 4 bet. Intesting idea if he flat some of those 4 bets. He wasent double barreling to much so I like much of your float with A high and marginals hands. I think he was polarising he double barrel, since when he had second or third pair he would check the turn in position to showdown.
