8 minutes?

hello P.Leno Inc.

I thought you did a great job in this video, spoke pretty clearly and slowly which is quite an achievement really considering you're pretty much a geordie,

My feedback would be as everyone has said really..

The HH isnt very clear and it would be miles better if it was - using a hand re-player is the way to go imo

I would like to see a LITTLE more detailed combinatronic work on the river bluff - showing the actual calculations you've used to determine the breakeven fold% of the river bluff - also you're then showing the audience WHY shoving is better than calling (I know it seems obvious but I think it would make the video better if it was explained clearly)

Also you never once mentioned the oppo could have 55 ? (!)

I thought it was a very good video and by the time you've released 2 or 3 I reckon you'll be making really really good vids good work !!!

As for the hand I remember you posting it on this forum and I said at the time I liked it, calling is 100% a worse move than jamming and vs the described villain it's an ideal spot to bluff imo (very hard to call  56s off here for him) also I think you want a range that bluffs in this spot for defo and it's hard to have one.

ya I liked it, the quick videos are often alot more interesting than longer videos with dead time. I also understood what you were saying which surprised me.

I seem to be the only one who was fine with the look of the vid, but i'm pretty hardcore and the vid seemed to change quality a few mins in and suddenly it was all perfectly readable.

I often like hhs where one player hasn't seen the hh before and is discussing xy holding rather than our specific hand, once you've discussed the ranges then showing the hand can continue the discussion and focus it slightly more on the part of your range that you've got in the spot with.

I failed on this part this time round I'm sure. I spoke very fast because wanted to fit in quite alot of content into 10 minutes.

Like both, but think you might have been a little quick in the second video.  I like the idea of quick 10minute videos working a particular concept.  One a week?

Question about opening raise amounts, is it really standard to vary your open depending on what position you're in?  You say open 3.5x utg and 2.5x the button, why not just 2.5 everything?

Cheers (i take it this is purely for cash?)

MTT are you talking about for live pokers yh or online?

I have a strategy online where I open 3.5x (this is PLO remember but i htink the concepts are the same) for EP and 2.5 or 3x from the CO or BTN (depending who is on the btn)

the reasons for this are that when I open EP I generally want to disaude an army of callers, as most hands are tough to play 4way OOP single raised, so opening a little more means less people call generally who I will be OOP to, when im in the CO or the BTN i can open a little smaller, getting a better price on my steal and flop Cbet + I am looking to encourage callers as most people who call me will be OOP to me which makes me a favorite to win the hand a high% of the time.

This is for PLO though, wether it applies to NL online or not I don't know, but hopefully that somewhat answers the question.

As for live I pretty much just vary my opening size depending on who's left to act and how good my hand is lol

I can understand raising 3.5x utg in live poker because if you 2.5x it utg at live 0.50/1 you'll probably get 8 callers. 

In NL online, if we raise bigger utg are we not forcing out weaker hands that we want to call and only getting played back at with premiums?  Wouldn't it be better to just tighten our utg opening range rather than increasing our raise size?

This is thinking of the hands in actual hand vs hand equity, as in when we open QJs utg for 3.5x we will pretty likely let J9 fold and AQ is going to come along, which sounds like it's terrible, but it isn't. The playability of our hands post-flop is drastically decreased speshly as we're going to be playing OOP.

Only getting played back at with premiums is fine if our 3.5x raise discourages players from 3betting us light as that means they will be folding and our 4bet range is pretty simple to build here.

i agree though we should have tight opening range UTG, opening to 3.5x only works if the range you're opening is strong enough.
