Deep Stack Adjustments, poker vlog 211

Let’s go!!!!

Nice win Doug have a great day 😊

Nice win Doug

Pocket jacks

Maybe pocket 10s with the 10H? Strang hand

I hate bomb pots. Crappy hands like 85S suck you when you would’ve folded them almost all the time. I wish they’d ban them from the casinos as they take sooo much time especially here in Texas with their obsession with PLO double board bomb pots as they charge by time too

You won a $44 pot with a surprising 44. Just watch out, maaan -- 4 is the Chinese number of death. 😂❤❤

I appreciate the question in beginning..... I often deal with LOOOONG stretch of being card dead..... I normally deal with it well, however it's frustrating afterwards bc it looks like I'm playing like a "Nit" however I'm just not getting cards..... while I see maniacs play trash/ flop around n make hands.....🤷🏾‍♂️

Appreciate your comments about playing deep stack poker. I hardly ever have a truly deep stack and don’t get much practice in that situation. I have played several of the hands you warn about incorrectly and not been very successful. Good lesson for me. As always really think you’re making me a much tougher opponent!

Kh10h or pocket J

you see too many monsters under your bed.

Great vlog, Doug! I look forward to them every Sunday morning!

Say hi to the Shaman

We're running late 😭

Thx great job chef😊

Hi Doug, hope youre good, Im unfortunately pretty sick, got the big "C" marvellous eh? liver and bowel, chemotherapy for me, yikes, keep well old buddy, best wishes, Fraser,great vlog as always!!

That guy had K 10 of hearts, no doubt.

I think you m8ssed some value with the AA hand. The 2 on the river, while completing a straight with a 3, isn't a card to be afraid of. What 3s are there.
Unless the V is capable of a bluff raise, a quarter pot bet is likely getting called.

3 jacks probably

I hate people who tank for 3-4 minutes on the river. The longer someone tanks is directly correlated with how dumb he is

Think the guy had a one pair hand like yours with a flush draw....maybe KJ hearts/clubs or KQ clubs...when the overcard comes and he misses his flush he just thinks he can't be good...maybe he was wrong...who knows? Enjoy your vlogs.

Doug, thanks for the great answer on card-death. Excellent advice, which I will use. Normally, I try to recognize the poor conditions, but IF the table is very good, I'll see if I can muster patience and have the discipline to play consistently. If I start feeling emotionally tilted or believing in "bad luck", I know to bench myself for a while, or be done for the day.

New to the game and really enjoy your videos

Great vlog!

Great thoughts on deep stack poker! Definitely good food for thought. I normally buy on for 100 bbs, but win a few pots and you find yourself 300-500 bbs deep with a few opponents. Adjustments to play definitely need to be made. Thanks so much for your input.

I think he had K-10 of hearts. Excellent breakdown of your hands. Thanks Doug

I get playing deep stacked is different but that doesn’t mean you should be scared when you have aces

Thanx again Mr. McCusker for your blog and informative insights!

What do you recommend to be properly bankrolled

KJ of heart

WP. When you play 200BB, your "big" bets should be larger; otherwise you don't give yourself much of a chance to get all in by the river.

85s: I'd raise larger on the flop. If you're giving up after the turn, I think your bet needs to be larger because villain is probably not folding a flush draw for a bet that is less than 1/3 pot, and he's not making a mistake.

A9o: How would you play a flush draw on this flop? I think I'd cbet this hand IP. Not saying that you should go for 3 streets. I just think you generally get more value by betting early and then checking down on the river if necessary. (That way you also get maximum information by forcing villain to show on the river instead of giving him the opportunity to muck.)

76s: It's so nice when villain plays poorly and gives you all his money.

KQ: Crazy fold on the end unless he ONLY had a draw. Good fold by you.

On the 456 two spade board at the end with AsAx I'm not sure you need to be that passive. I'm more likely to have 76, 77, 86, 97 than 78 or 56 so I imagine the standard play is to bet especially if your opponent isn't one to bluff frequently.

You’re a good guy man, I want you to come to my funeral…Last time I heard that intro was my grandad. Helluva player too.

Busted flush/straight draw for both of em. They’re thinking, “any pair or better wins..why pay xtra”.

I disagree. Early position fold the KJo pre flop. Button gotta call and fold 3 bet

Algorithm

I should have found the door today when i started playing loose

Not crazy about your “value” the river, when the second Ace had fallen (you holding the 8-5), when your opponent was most likely to have an Ace, or a better pocket pair, and him giving you a chance to minimize your counterfeited hand.

Great fold and hand break down with the KQ on the KJ4 board.

How many hours a week do you play Doug

For sure AJ hearts
