Awesome breakdown Gary! Love the way you as well grinded you way out of the hole! I sense that you slow the game down no matter how things are going! That is great mental trait to have! Looking forward to the next one to drop! #letsgo!!
Hey Gaz, loving the content. Would be great if you could analyse some of these hands with a solver afterwards as some don’t feel right - for example the KQdd on the AK7 flop you gave up the betting lead despite having range advantage and allowed him to bluff you off it. Similar with the A4cc you called two streets in the hope of hitting a flush when maybe raising or folding is better? Would be great to confirm these!
Are you seeing a bird over there or non-poker work stuff over there Gaz? I'm just a bit curious about all these trips to LA for poker when you can play and vlog at the Vic or other London places...it's quite a trek and the accommodation must cost a whack too! Anyway, great vlogging as per usual and looking forward to the next.
Loving these Live Vlogs, boring question Changing GBP to USD for live poker in US, whats is the best way to go about this? heard Vegas ATMS can be a bit of a rip off. Change currency before i travel maybe? Revolut?
Love it mate, some things are a bit off (“full rainbow board” with 2 diamons on 14:00 and two Jd’s at 15:15) - but I never tried to make notes of all interesting hands so I guess this happens 😅
I thoroughly enjoyed your narration and poker game. Wished I wasn’t drunk in Vegas or I’d stop by Aria to say hi during your 24 hrs at Aria. I’ll catch you in casino in southern Cali when you’re around
I was thinking the same thing. He always seems to be digging himself out of the hole. The players that know him must realize how splashy he can be especially at the start of any new session. Such an action player!
@@garyblackwoodpoker all the time? Not sure I like it. There are plenty of hands that can call a bet that would otherwise check back, plus equity denial. Any A-Q seems like a bad card, as well as any 8 or 9 (but I guess you'd pick up BD str8 draw). Probably player dependent too I guess. Like, do you check QQ KK and AA there too?
@@digitaldavid5633not all the time but really really often. Heads up this is a range check spot in theory. The beauty of it is with a high check frequency spot comes a very aggressive check raise strategy!
A trick/"angel" you can always do while in position as long as its not the river is to always bet everything minus $5. As long as its not the river, you never have to show. But before you do this, do make sure to check with your casino if you are allowed to check back the nuts on the river for cash games. Sometimes you may have to put the last $5 in.
hope to see you soon at The Hard Rock in Hollywood Florida ! a meet up game would be perfect 🤞i enjoy all your vlogs, hope to meet you and play against you someday ! all the best! cheers
I thought I had A 10! 😂 crazy swings in this session but good to see u finish in profit this time!!! What do u do when ur waiting like 3 hours for a notable hand?? I find it hard to resist getting involved with like suited connectors which ends up getting me in trouble or I’m just blinding away
A very good question! I used to be really bad for making loose peels etc as you say, but I have cut that out now. I actually spend a fair bit of time standing up, stretching my legs, walking about etc during these card dead spells (while not missing any hands, just staying in the vicinity), and it helps a ton!
@@garyblackwoodpoker that actually makes sense! my fear was if I get up and go for a walk I may miss a winning hand, but your strategy sounds a lot better as I can still see the cards and then switch off (not entirely!) from the hand! Cheers Gazzy!
YIP YIP HOORAY 2 flopped & 1 turned SET for GB today haha!!! Well hopefully during this trip you can at least see a CALL/RAISE on the flop, turn or river when you'd bet without having to experience that dreadful TANK/FOLD scenario again !!! Trending a lil better today, B keep it up !!!
My bad, I completely missed that hand and was looking at the last hand. Was so confused and had to go back through the whole thing to find the right hand.
Hi Gary, are you considering playing GTO strategy with AQo in 3b pot on 876ss like low freq cbet and some XR or do you play this spot for exploitative reasons?
He completely misplayed this spot obviously. The flop is terrible for his range but perfect for the opponents range. Same on the turn. His story doesn't make any sense at all. GTO checks 99% here!
@@relaxationmeditationsleep2934 gto actually checks 92% here, making the rest of your post once again completely redundant. My line is fine. Stick to the micros and let the adults talk 😂😂😂 Thanks as always for watching my videos even though you are a hater ❤️
@@relaxationmeditationsleep2934 still depends what sim you run. Its not much EV difference with his particular holding between bet and check but if the villain misplays vs cbet probably cbet is more +EV. Also if villain has a wider range as is it the case in live games then oop can have higher cbet freq. I can understand his reasoning while vs good opponents its preferably to check the range as you said
@@garyblackwoodpoker I'm not a hater but a teacher. Unfortunately, you are resistant to learning. Also, I like to support this channel. If people play like you it's a win-win for me. I'm here for the entertainment. Have you ever considered consulting a mental coach? Obviously you have problems with critical comments and you are unable to respond with factual arguments.
Ugh I hate those screens at Commerce. As a chronic nail biter with nubs for fingers, I can never get them off smoothly if the dealer pitches them there.
Also off stream Gary, do you think its +EV to fold the AJ hand vs the big cbet multiway? You can be dominated and there are some implied odds. The MDF should be lower in mw pots except you have read that your opponents are very bad as it is the case here. Vs not a big whale and a solid player i would have folded AJ with bdfd vs that sizing, you can call me nit but i play gto live at those stakes and have around 30bb/100 win rate.
@@uniquelolapps7318 Nah I think we have a pretty easy call here, given the immediate strength of our hand, the backdoor potential (should be QdJx4d flop) & the implied odds with the loose goose behind. Recording or not I think this is a pretty clear call here.
What do you mean you didn't have to show first? In cash, you don't have to show at all, lol. When im all in, i never turn my hand over when the other cards are coming out. Only show if i won the pot.
Honestly no hate, as I like the vlogs and watching your videos but I am always surprised with how little pro's tip. I'm only a rec player and play at my local casino which is £1/£1 with a max £300 buy in but I'd always tip at least £100 throughout the session. £1 per pot, £5 for a £50-£100 pot and £10 - £20 if I stack someone or suck out on the river.
You are absolutely right, recs tip far far more than pros. A friend of mine won a huge pot the other day at 5/10 and slapped a $1 chip on his cards as he slid them over. My tips are reasonably good as a pro, $4/hr on average so far which amounts to $32 an hour at an 8 handed table
@@garyblackwoodpoker that’s fair enough. Even the dealers at my casino say that the people who play on the £300 cap (biggest table) tip way less than the recs who play on the £1/£1 £100 cap. Must be a thing about maximising earnings I guess
@@garyblackwoodpoker the music made it difficult for me to understand you. Don’t understand the 22 with two clubs draw. At best you have 20% and will you get value if you hit. Should be getting 5x return if you hit.

The AJ hand, you had Jd in your hand and on the board?
