Opening QTo UTG is not profitable.
Calling a 3bet with AK vs a SB-3bet is simply bad. If you dont know why i dont understand why youre playing 2/4.
Squeezing with AA to 32 is bad. Obviously you dont know why.
If he reraises you on the KQ9 you are putting him on a "KQ/AK kind of hand". Why? I dont think its reasonable.
Checking AA on 889 is just hilarious. And should he have QJ there you dont need to be pissed, cause you let him get there.
snapbetting AK on KTx is bad vs a competent player.

LOL. You serious man. This has got to be the worst comment I've ever seen on a vid. You offer no constructive criticism, you just simply state "oh that play is bad" with an explanation of "if you dont know then u shouldnt be play such and such stakes" LOL. You sound like a woman nagging her husband because he didnt buy her the exact thing she wanted "Well if you dont know why im mad, im not telling you!!" HAHA get a life dude. I bet you felt real good bout yourself after you posted this too. "fuck yea, I sure showed that guy" hahahah

Well done LG. Lots of great plays and tips. Keep up the good work. Let the haters hate!

Bahahahaa senseless?He is absolutely right in what he said you donk and he even explained it.100% agree with midasmp.
1.You don`t have the bankroll for 2/4
2.You CALL with AK vs a sb raise.What are you gonna do if you dont hit?Yeah right you call putting him on AQ
And so on and so forth...checkbehind AA kkthxbye

I agree with cunego here. You show your a competent player and you mix it up a bit.

I also get some people don't like the check behind with AA on 889. I prefer to bet there too , but thats just a matter of opinion I guess. Checking it behind made you earn more money because you let your opponent catch up.

And the AK hand , well a 4bet there is kinda standard on that SB 3bet. Then you would probably have gotten it all in preflop and won a flip vs his JJ. But just calling in position was fine.




But you can't change my mind about the TJs hand in the first vid. I don't like your play there. Under 10 blinds is always shove or fold for me.
I just approach no limit hold'em tournies in a different way I guess...


Still have to watch the PLO vid. Don't know much about PLO , so i won't comment on that one.

You open x % of hands UTG in a 6max game. You will get 3bet some % of the time by 5 players still to act (Assuming they 3bet 4 % on average, which would be veeeery low for 2/4, you will get 3bet 20 % of the time). Everytime somebody 3bets you you should fold. So you lose 20 % of the time without seeing a flop. When you get called, you will get called a lot in position (there are 3 players who might each call you about 20 % of the time), and people will call with 22+, some SCs and many broadway-combos that are not good enough to 3bet (like JQ,KQ, some AQ,KT,AJ). vers that range you have 34%.
Now an Ace or a King hits about 36% of the time, in which case you can take it down with a cbet. Lets say youre gonna take it down about 70% of the time (which is very high), so you take it down in 70%*36%=25%. Some flops will come with only low cards, in which case you will experience maaany floats and bluffraises (if some opponents are decent). If you hit a Q or a T sure, you can cbet and take it down, but you will usually be in many tough spots if somebody calls your cbet (which will obviously happen a lot when they dominate you). + If you hit a Q or a T and you get raised you might lose money in the long run if you call and try to guess right later.



In a standard 6-max game the BU will raise about 40-50% of the time. To counter that, the Blinds can call wide and 3bet wide. A problem with calling in the SB is that BB can squeeze a very wide range, and the SB will have to lay down hands as strong as QJ or even KQ,AJ then. So a standard SB-3bet-range vs BU will be pretty wide and include many hands that dont wanna get squeezed. As the normal BU knows that, he will 4bet bluff some and call a bit lighter. So the SB starts to shove a wider range, cause he has some FE. Also if you call AK you hit about 36% of flops, and you will see that you will have problems getting their stack then. Everytime you dont hit you are at the mercy of the SB (as he can barrel you off your float should you decide to call a cbet). Having said that AK gains its value by seeing 5 cards as often as possible, + 4betting a SB-3bet gets you a nice image and might induces shoves from Ax. (btw, if i 3bet AQ from the SB, i never fold to a 4bet).




They have to call about 22 $ to win about 400. this makes a call with anout any SCs and every single PP profitable. Also they will rather call instead of maybe 4bet-bluffing or shoving small PPs vers you, which obviously is kind of disastrous. If you have a balanced squeezing range, you can comfortably make it about 13x and get loads of aqtion pretty often.



AK he should be 3betting (at least some of the time), KQ he might as well. very likely are some NFDs, some JT, some pair+FD. And obviously some bluffs with outs like AT,AJ,8T.

I think im wasting my time, right? Just rip it apart.

lol LG you have your work cut out arguing against Midasmp's post here. Really concise and thought out post.

As for the video, I nearly commented on this yesterday, started, then got distracted. Completely agree with regards to opening QT utg, I don't understand why you are doing that, are you doing it as a steal? Or are you wanting to get action OOP most of the time? It really feels like your just raising marginal hands there to just get involved. Also, before the flop is dealt you say 'I am gonna cbet this'... what? How can you do that. You have no idea what the flop will bring, you have to consider the flop texture and whether or not a Cbet is just gonna get raised all the time and you ultimately spew money.

As for flatting AK, you definitely seem to assign the 3bettor in the SB a far too defined range. As Midasmp said, your range on the button is so so wide and therefore, his 3betting range is going to be very wide. AK is the very top of both of you ranges here, and just flatting the 3bet with the justification of 'I am in position' seems silly, because you are going to get blown off the hand almost all the time when you don't hit.

You are obviously confident in your play, and that is good, and the video was actually very watchable. However you do have to be open to people criticism. There are some solid thinking posters on this site, and your game is far from watertight so you should definitely take the advice on board rather than go on a 10 minute monologue about how you are 'disgusted' with people not loving your play.

But good video, and a nice session.

Think again.
