Play & Explain - 40 Minutes of 500z
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Hey everyone, here is a 40-minute video of me playing 500nl Zone poker on Bovada. In this session, I am running pretty card dead, and I spend some time talking about fighting for small pots.
Correction:
1:18 At this rake structure, my opponent does mix calling 68o preflop

I like this fellow's intellectual honesty as well as his play and how he explains things! ❤😊🎉
Hey man love the content so far, keep up the good work!
thanks for explaining why you still take a mix strategy in zone. That was something I was confused about but that makes total sense. I just wasn’t sure if I had a fundamental misunderstanding of why we balance in the first place 😅
wow one of the smartest and most honest poker videos out there. Watched you first on Johnathan little's channel and within 10 minutes realized you had a different level of understanding of the game with a great skill to articulate it that very few people have. Love watching and learning from your videos keep it up.
Thanks for the free content :)
1)23:29 you ISO J8s from LJ - Are you generally isolating with your RFI range for a given position? This hand makes me wonder if I am missing some +EV ISOs. Any advice on how wide we can go with our ISO ranges?
2)30:28 you double barrel A8/A87 5 with 150% pot size - I would have gone with B75 given the turn card. Are you just simplifying to B150 for turn double barrels?
Hi Pat, what is the program you use for random number generator?
The hand you had 99 in the BB and faced a 5x RFI from the SB, I was surprised you didnt 3bet. Those 5x RFIs are not a particularly strong range from my sample in my database, but even without knowing that, it makes sense to expand your 3bet range range relative to your calling range when you have barely more than half the pot odds you normally have in a BB defense spot. Since 99 is already a pure 3bet BVB, it seems like a slam dunk mandatory 3bet here against a probable rec.
Yeah, I think you're probably right!
supporting the channel! thanks for the content
Bi weekly means every two weeks and semi weekly means twice a week. That is confusing but correct.
Table 1 at 3:52 A9o is a bad bluff, even if villain is overfolding. Usually we are playing a semi polarized strategy with big sizing OTF. Even if you want to play small sizes A9o there is never a bet.
Villain is only folding worse Ax and the cards he is folding usually dont have much equity against us anyway. Whereas if we check, we allow villain to catch a 9 or an A and we take him to valuetown, or go to showdown and win. Overall A9o is usually a pure check OTF on most boards it doesnt hit, except on rangebet boards.
A9o is a pure bluff here.

hey man, can you do next time BB instead of $ ?
Have you made part of poker Detox team?
Do you think you could maintain a 5bb/100 winrate in the 500zone pool? Thanks for the video.
I think so. The games are pretty good. I have only played 35k hands in the 500z pool lifetime, but my win rate was around 7 bb/100
i dont know the rake structure, but since when in 3 max there is no 68o hand bb vs sb?
Yeah you are right, I thought at 500nl 68o would be a pure or almost pure fold, but it's getting called around 70% of the time. My mistake. I should be careful when giving preflop advice for these limits since I haven't really studied the ranges for them.
6max/3max are the same ranges by the way, it's just blind vs. blind.
Winrates are typically lower in rush games but due to the high volume of hands, dollars earned per hour can easily be higher. Don't you agree?
Depends on how many regular tables u play on at a time I would think.
2knl next?
How did you learn the theory for soo many spots? What were your study habits?
I learned mostly while building my coaching programs. I may go into more depth in future videos about my study/research methods
I have the same experience with Monday's on Bovada being really good. However I disagree about Sunday's imo its one of the best days for cash on there.
17:30 you call a 3bet with AQo. Wizard says it's mostly a fold and sometimes a raise. 4% it's a call at nl 500. Did you really use rng or did you screw up?
16:46 gtowiz says that when the SB calls we should only over call with A9o+ vs the HJ and ATo+ vs UTG...
What site do you recommend for players that can’t play Ignition/Bovada?
That Q3dd hand on 942T OTT is an OB OTT at a good frequency.
At the 36min mark you haves 9s and You say we need to pure call the river bet if we had a spade, any chance you could explain that because I would have thought the opposite. thx
Not sure if it was clear but I was talking about the flop. We want to pure call flop with a backdoor, mostly fold without.
On the KJo hand at 20:20, for someone trying to simplify their decisions (and vs mid-stakes pool), would it be ok to bluff-raise the spades/straight blocker combo every time (especially in an anonymous pool) vs a less-than-pot bet? Or do you think that you must have some mixes/calls with that combo. Since you called from BB, I guess it can be assumed that you don't have AQ/AK - so in a 3-bet pot, perhaps you could pure bluff with that combo since you'll also have AK/AQ/QQ/AA/KK in your range for value.
Also from an overarching perspective, if you were playing in an anonymous pool all the time, how much weight would you assign to mixing any decision when the opponent won't be able to get a sample on you anyways? It seems to me that in most scenarios where the EV difference is minimal between the aggressive and passive decision, in an anonymous pool you could default to the aggressive decision. I get that it depends on the specific circumstance, but is this a flawed way of thinking generally?
You can definitely raise it every time in anon pools. Just be aware that you will be unbalanced and overbluffing if you do this.
@@mobiuspoker who sees that you are unbalanced? 😂
When you’re playing how long are your sessions vs breaks etc? I’m trying to do a ~90m study session, followed by 3 ~90m playing sessions with a 15 min break between each. Previously (as a part-time player with another job) I’d just been playing 2 90m sessions, trying to up this to 3 moving forward, but don’t want to overplay if I’m mentally fatigued.
Currently, I’m trying to put in volume, but my A/B+ game is winning, B game is probably close to breakeven after rake, and my C game is pretty punty. I think the polarization of my play is holding me back from moving up more than my technical/theoretical game knowledge.
So I want to maximize volume while staying mentally under control.
Do you have any suggestions/criticisms? Perhaps even a part 2 to your Tilt/Mindset video about Process/Routine…
I pretty much never take breaks. Once I get into a session I have a hard time pulling away from it. I try not to play much longer than 4 hours in a session though unless I have a really good game and I'm "in jail."
Three 90-min sessions seems totally reasonable. If you can't play at least around 20 hours per week, you're probably not going to make much money in poker.
@@mobiuspoker thanks! Fair enough, I don’t love taking breaks either but I find if I’m playing poorly sometimes the break can reset me enough to play better.
Thanks for the video btw, really enjoy your content. I resonate with how you explain things.
Love the content, only complaint would be that the volume is a little low
Thanks for your feedback! I will try to improve it
ty for RNG
hey would you apply the same bet or fold strategy in the SB in low stakes?
