Drop a like, and subscribe to follow along with this journey, and all comments are welcome, good or bad!
Bro I mean this with the utmost respect for your hand analysis and competence; 2/5 is barely, if at all, different from 1/2. From what I’ve seen, I feel like you give way to much credit to these players. Relax, treat it like 1/2;3 unless a competent player gives you a sign otherwise. Great vlog, 100k is around the corner :)
Thanks a ton fella :) confidence is definitely increasing the more I play!
Excellent explanation of your reasoning. Keep logging
The JJ in the 2/5 you double up was amazing. It was the best play I've seen in a long time. Perfekt played in my opinion 😮
Great videos, you play well. Is randomizing at 1/3 really better than just value betting 100% of the time? Should the turned straight really be checked twice? I think betting it 100% of the time will net you more money in the long run.
I only randomize against regs at 2/5 or higher. Checking strong hands makes a ton of money in live games, but betting is fine too
You flop sets more than I’ve seen. Played 8 hours yesterday and never hit some of them. Ended up$1600 at 1/2 but it was just a grind. Nothing ever fell in my lap. Love the content.
I'm extremely good at flopping sets. That's a huge result at 1/2 though, congrats!
I like how you played the pocket jacks hand. Nice read. The only thing I’m not sure I like is the check on the turn. Though I understand the logic.
Well played.
I just don't think a bet accomplishes anything, value owning ourselves most of the time, and getting worse to fold nearly 100% of the time.
I like how you slowed down and thought about how to extract max value instead of going with a jam to just get the hand over with.
no fold equity
AWESOME Vlog. After two horrible sessions of 1-3 dropping my personal 10K challenge bankroll down to around 6K, I figured sure why not try 2-5. I think the jump in stakes made me concentrate much more and I ended up booking a $1600 win getting my bank roll back up to $8200. Thanks for all the content/inspiration and Keep grinding.
Those are 2 very horrible 1/3 sessions holy! Congrats on the win Rory!
@@BluffaloSam total loss at the two $1-$3 sessions was just under 2k. Forgot to put that in my previous post.
@@rorypicaut9742 that's nearly 7 buyins, that definitely hurts
Nice vlog, I enjoyed your play and thought process. Best of luck growing that bankroll!
Thanks fella!
Nice comeback in that second 2/5 session.
Enjoying your vlogs!
Thank you! Big relief to cash out for such a small loss after that start
AA: Villain's turn bet is tiny. After he checks river, it's difficult to give him a strong range. He can maybe have some slow-played 8x and straights, but I think he mostly has overcards. I think a smaller bet might be better against that kind of range. Of course that depends on what hands villain open limps and then calls a 3! with....
JJ: WP. I think a flop check-raise is also an option to put him in a difficult spot with his TT - 88 (maybe 77). (I think he can squeeze with these and then almost has to call the smaller 4! with everything.) He may also hero with some broadway combos.
AKo: WP. I prefer to bet flop while I still have a significant nut advantage and then check turn, but either is probably fine. It would have been a mistake to bluff the river, imo. Villains have really condensed their ranges, especially after checking twice on flop and turn.
54dd: I think you butchered this hand. I think the flop raise is ok, but I prefer to call and then check-raise turn. I think it is MUCH more likely that he checks turn when you x-raise the flop, but if you x-c, you are more likely to have the opportunity to x-r the turn, and you would be raising a card that is supposed to be good for your BB range and might actually make him suspicious. On the river I think your target range for the x-raise is way too narrow. I'd just probe smaller on the river, hoping to get some calls from overpairs, Qx, JJ - 99, maybe a less likely 8x.
98ss: Good fold. I think the turn is an underbluffed spot, so you are probably drawing, and possibly to a losing hand. Also, villain has only 125 remaining, so your implied odds are sh!t.
AA ("generally considered a good hand" 😂): WP. I do think that you targeted too narrow a range again, but meh.
55: I think the turn jam was a mistake here. If villain's range is JJ/33/22/A4s, you beat 6 combos and lose to 7. If he also has A4o, you are even further behind.
KQo: Why not check with the intention of calling most reasonable bets? I think the bet was maybe too thin.
JTo: Why are you trapping and then calling on the turn with a tiny pot and an SPR near 30?
Nice win and WP!
AA: I'm still getting reads, so a lot of my bet sizes are still what I would size my entire range including bluffs until I get some more solid notes.
JJ: Ooo flop check raise is nasty, I like it. Also, I'm noticing the more I play in these games, their 3bet ranges are still just pure value, just slightly wider than normal, I don't think many players are squeezing 99 here.
AKo: That was a tough hand, I think flop bet is ok, but getting check raised OTF is such a disaster...
54dd: Can we really call a half pot bet OOP?
55: He didn't have too much behind, the raise is essentially an all in, I think it's pretty much the same result as I'm calling almost all rivers, and I don't think he's bluffing this spot.
KQo: I just don't see him ever betting a worse hand when checked to, 95% of his range here has SDV and is going to just check back, I want to target that range. We just happened to run into it this time.
JTo: I don't think anyone has much, stacks aren't going in this hand, and I really like having very strong check ranges, my weaker Jx here I think is better in my check backs, and my stronger Jx can take the more aggressive lines.
On the AKo, I think getting raised is uncomfortable but not a disaster. You're only behind a set, and villain should rarely be raising you on a board like this because you have all the nuts. You definitely don't want to see this board get more coordinated.
With 54dd, I think a call is fine, and I think raise rarely gets a fold from the pfr.
I think the jam with 55 is bad because you are usually behind when called. The amount behind doesn't matter when that is the case.
On KQo, if you check, villain can think that Kx is good. He can bluff any spade or any J. If he has KT/QT/K8, he can get here and think he's good. The point is that I think KQ is better as a bluffcatcher than a value beater with this possible flush, possible straight runout. It's probably close though.
@MaydayAggro @MaydayAggro I'm behind ATs A9s and T9s all possible, those sets are also quite likely given preflop action
For the 55, I think it's pretty moot point OTT, money is going in on this street or the next, I can't imagine many rivers I'm folding, or that will change his action with any part of his range.
KQo, all those hands you listed except Jx will call a bet, but I think he calls even wider than that here. I just don't see him betting worse when checked to except on the off chance he has a hand like KT
i get the same speech every time i go play a session lol
Loving how straightforward your analysis is. Subsrcribed!
Appreciated! Hope you enjoy all the videos to come :)
lmao that commentary at 15:40 got me dead 😂 with that board texture after a 4 bet jam, KK really do be complete doo doo
I can only hope for a chop at that point 😂
Nice work comeback Sam!
It's been entertaining watching you run it up. Love hearing your thought process.
Much appreciated! Glad you're enjoying the content :)
Awesome. Congrats.
Bro, it's nice run
Bro you win a 2K pot with JJ and only tip $1 WTF.
A red bird for the dealer would have been nice.
It's tip pool here with the entire casino, the tip means literally nothing. I did give another $2 afterwards for that hand though
Got it. It’s still on the low side in my opinion.
Great vlog!
Way to come back from a couple of real coolers! I think you'll find that you are fully ready for these stakes, but you'll get more action before other players get to know you. Big pots coming your way!
Thanks buddy!
@@BluffaloSam sorry, forgot to add that 'medium society' is exceptionally clever. Consider your back patted!
@@jrcorsey Thanks again 😂
exponential winrate! Here we go
Yes please!
How do you feel about risking 1/10 of your roll at 2/5?
Not great 😂 but the plan is to go back to 1/3 if the bankroll drops below $8,000.
@@BluffaloSam they always say shot taking is important if your ready for it
@@cactuarnoob100 Can't be playing 1/3 forever! It is a big jump from $400 buyin where no one bluffs to a $1,000 buyin
@@BluffaloSam yeah! Glad to see you didn’t get crushed completely on a shot take and hope you can keep going.
@cactuarnoob100 I can't remember how much I lost exactly, but when I had a 6.5k roll I think I lost around 4k of it trying to shot take 2/5 😂 glad it's going better this time around!
First? 😅
You got it!
Was that your mom
Sure was, put her to work since she's staying at mine 😂
Pay the man his money!!
