Play your sets more agressively, imo.
Set 6s: On turn, raise the guy, who was betting 400. Whatever he has, he isn't folding on turn, but will when he missed his draw on river like here.
Set5s: Raise, they will call with A for wheeldraw, with T etc.

JJ: if 3bettor has any clue, he isn't squeezing light this small with the guy in the pot who flats 3x on 17x-stack - and he won't squeeze against the early position raise by the other guy who isn't raising set 5s on turn and river. ;)

Button A9/KQ against 15x-stacks: Shove KQ,(to get A-2 and stuff to fold) and raise-call with A9 (to keep A-2 and stuff in their range), imo. Against flattards, just shove both.

22: here, i like the call on the river. I don't think there are many worse hands in his valuebetting range here. Only hand i can think of is 74spades.
So snap him off and don't raise. He has either a busted draw or got there with 65 or A5spades or sumthin. Imo.

66 in sb: pretty obvious he had A and missed flop and turn. That's why i would have liked a checkraise on turn or a fold on the river. What do you beat otr? 44?

last hand:
I don't think you have to get it in pre with KJs against him. You are never ahead of even his calling range and deep enough to flat him in position, esp. against a guy who will spew his chips off when he has the betting lead.
80 bb with KJs, cmon, lol.

Thx for uploading!

Yeah, i agree, i think i fall into the trap of greed and auto-slowplay hands like sets way too much. Especially on a drawy board like with the set of 5's...

Aaahhh i knew there was a good reason for r/c A9 and just shoving the KQ, just couldn't remember. I guess it is somewhat less applicable for the super small stakes tourneys where you aren't really getting 3-bet light all too often from the blinds, so i guess my default play should be to shove in this level of buy-in.

i think both the 66 where i call down, and the last hand with KJ is a result of me being affected by a bit of tilt, i think because they are playing weirdly/super maniacal, i respond by sub-consciously doing nearly the same: eg: just calling down with the 66 vs a passive player, or putting it all in with a big stack with KJs. Patience would've been more a virtue on that last one!

Thanks a lot for replying, super helpful advice :)

I noticed you don't seem to plan out the betsizin from the flop.

Like the AA hand you cold 3bet smaller pre to set up a small bet flop-shove turn..

Or bigger to leave your self with like a 2/3 flop shove..Instead you left yourself with a 1.2 pot bet on flop and clearly wasn't happy about it....
But try to always think about this pre and you will eliminate some shitty spots like that..

But you play pretty solid imo..

nice vid, whereabouts in NZ are you?
i find the best way to combat minbets is to interpret them as checks, so if you were planning on cbetting raise his minbet to your cbet amount

Hobb2:
Thanks man :)
Yeah, i may be guilty of not looking ahead enough in the hand, but rather just focusing on the street im on at that moment, so like you say, i get into some yuck spots. I think just trying to plan out what i would do on future streets if villiam does this or that would improve it!


Bryce87:
Im on the North Shore (Auckland) you down under too bro? Thats a really interesting idea, ive never thought of that. I guess if you play it that way, you're not spewing off more chips by raising if you stick with what you wouldve bet anyway. At the very least it'll give you some more info on the strength of villians hand.

Thanks for your comments guys, really appreciate it. Lots of stuff for me to think about :)

yea, it is surprising how often it gets a fold as well..and if they raise you again interpret it as a c/r and start crapping yourself.. lol... oh and i mean raise his minbet to your original cbet size+his minbet if that wasn't obvious :p

Haha yeah, i spent a whole night figuring out how to do it first! didnt have any of the software or anything, and had to scavange around the house for a working mic :P
like i said in the vid, i find that players (including me obviously from my set plays) auto-slowplay, so when they check-raise its soooo strong.
Unfortunately i do work....but that hasnt stopped me from calling in sick a couple times in the past when there has been a big event on! What is the william hill one? guaranteed?

What software did you use? I am keen to try and record a speedpoker session lol.

As a general rule you should almost always c/r or lead when you flop a big hand OOP. Personally I prefer to c/r. It makes the hand so much easier to play and you also allow yourself the chance to extract a lot of value. The "auto-slowplay" syndrome is usually just fear of losing your customer but your real feal should be not getting max value for your big hands. Of course if you are playing against thinking players you would have to balance your flop c/r and/or leading range by throwing in some bluffs but with ssmtt's the way they are you will rarely need to worry about that, lol.

The william hill game is not listed for this monday which is strange, it should be on the following week however. It is a $1000 added $11 freezeout. So you normally have ~75 entrants with a $1750 prize pool. Pretty sick lol. 3000 chips 10min levels so it is kinda fast but at least there is a bit of play in early levels and it never goes any longer than four hours.

I pretty much just followed the advice in the "how to record" thread in the forum, so i used BBflashback to record. Also i watched"how to make excellent poker videos" from mal255, also in this forum for advice on how to compress/make it suitable to post on pokertube. I do notice, however, that the final product on here is lower quality than i hoped, so the text is a bit blurry, so i may have done something slightly wrong along the way, but at least its somewhat coherent! Just make sure your mic is turned on, unlike me! I recorded the whole second part before realising sound wasnt on, so i had to do it again whoops!

Yeah, i still think slowplaying is a decent way to play monsters postflop, but obviously against fish/calling stations, they are much more likely to call you off with worse if you dont slowplay. ie. ssmtt's.
