Love your videos! In the KQ vs 87s on his perspective is good to shove river on the 8? To try to fold you some Jx hearts that he loses on showdown… and also try to fold your KQ, KTs or AJss??
could be an option but i do think he wins enough vs my nut flush draws that check back some otr. i also don't expect him to think i'll fold a King otr, and also i think mixing some Jx as IP is good here too. i guess it really depends on the opponent you're facing - if they like to fold, bluff an 8, if they don't, then i wouldn't go for it
that ak jamming 2x turn acatully makes a lot of sense to me. I think it’s a value bluff: he can either fold u hands like at/ tj or aj if u think he is jamming a very polar range.or just letting u fold/ call some combo draws like aq/qj . It does accomplish a lot by shoving ak in my opinion.Btw is co Stefan hahaha
It is impossible to beat GG pre rake back, GG isnt static. I was raked whatever i won not matter how high or low. I beat NL50 for 15bb , raked 14.5bb, bet PLO 50 for 22bb, i was raked 21bb. Its impossible. GG is a scam ponzo scheme fuck GG
If someone as knowledgeable as you is surprised that hand 2 barrels turn and calls river, aka villain plays it perfectly according to the solver, is there any suspicion of rta or is he just that good naturally?
I guess in some hands perhaps you’d be right. this one, while being pretty nuts, isn’t truly outrageous though. I can definitely see myself taking his line some of the time
Is it standard for a pro to breakeven / lose at the tables and make their money through affiliates / content nowadays? Not a dig by means but nearly every week is a losing one and your obivously a great player. Seems very difficult for new players to breakthrough if this is the lanscape these days. Or are you just running horribly? Cheers
if you are winning after rakeback you are still winning. i get your point though, i don't get that vibe from bena but some sponsored streamers who seem to be making all their money through the sponsorship while throwing "their own money" down the drain give me bad vibes, it kinda gives everyone a bit of a bad rep just by how it looks.
There is definitely an element of runbad with Ben's results this year, hes had a winning graph for like 10+ years. However the ecosystem GGPoker has created has made "winning" very difficult. The rake is extremely high and there is probably a handful of regs who have a positive winrate or breakeven before rakeback. These graphs that Ben posts are pre rakeback. Every few videos he talks about the rakeback hes made or other bonuses like Bad Beat Jackpot. When you factor those in he might not actually be "losing" despite the graphs. Hope that makes sense!
it’s very normal for people to break even or lose small pre rakeback yes. the vast majority of grinders make a living from rb alone. I also don’t make money from content - after editing costs I lose. poker definitely harder to breakthrough than it ever was though yeah. and to your last point - yes I do think the overwhelmingly likely outcome for my poor results has been one of the worst runs I’ve ever witnessed haha. time will tell if that’s true or not!
First hand seems fine as CO, u dont have all combos of KQ and equity denial seems like a big thing, I’ll die before folding 2 pairs nql😂 but pls prove me wrong
Poker is a dead game.Those situations that u ve showed are standard plays even in 0.01/0.02.U ve had Aa vs AK...easy call.Floped some outrageous trips...easy all in...flopped another trips...easy all in...and had KQ on a K high board.Nothing special.Anybody would win like this.What s interesting...if u would ve put the same hands in reverse...and still win at least one of the four hands displayed.Poker is easy when u have the best hands
Your good at poker but I don't like your head
seems reasonable to me. just drag me outta frame so you can get the full poker experience with no bald head
Least you got a sense of humour! Btw I like ppl that look like guess who.

Really enjoy these recap vids 🙌🏼
yo thanks mate!
Always nice to see a video of yours pop up in my feed ❤
ayyy thanks bro. i've been binge watching your shorts btw, algo knows i watch them all :D
Nh with that flopped set of queens vs me! ❤
@@garyblackwoodpoker I sooooo nearly said that in the video 🤣
What's wrong with the new 2k tables on GG?
haha nothing really just more high rake and contributing to the gg machine

@@jackxu886 yeah I think that must’ve been their thought process too. haha nah not Stefan!
It's a dry side pot so you can't shove a polar range. Your bluffs need to still have equity against BB.
Ur a very sweet person in ur heart love ur vids
🤣😻🙏
@11_45 how a about lead turn.. has any acomplish in your ponit of view .. regards from argentina
i think vs a super bluffy opponent we wanna let them have every opportunity to spice it off. leading could well achieve this too though!
Nice to see you have a winning week or two , good job 💪💪💪
thanks Alex!
Thought Gazzy had QJhh with that snap. nh both
haha I did for a sec too. ty!
Have you ever had a winning month pre rake back during this challenge? And Is there anyone in the pool winning pre rake back high stakes gg?

haha I think I’ve had a couple winning months pre rb but it has been bleak! yeah there are quite a lot of people that win pre rb
there is one russian reg who ran 8bb/100 on 100k hands.

A question bro, why not play live , cause you don’t play much volume online so you could have huge winrate live , so less downswings and more profits
I really dislike the lifestyle of live mate! I also play around 20 hours a week and study another 4-5 so hours aren’t super super low!
like on the kqo hand do you really have so much to theory memorized that you know the exact % where you should shove or check back on the river?
at this stack depth i don't know the theory inside out no. but at 100bb i have quite a good idea!
@@BenaBadBeatPoker why you such a baller

hahaha yeah maybe we dont ever fold 2p but if that is the case PLUS he makes us call combo draws, it could do really well

I disagree with all of this but that’s ok - it isn’t as grim of an outlook as you make to be imo. plenty of merit in poker remains 🙏🙏
