Salut holdem.ro,

I'm looking forward to making some videos/articles for you guys, which I hope you will find useful in improving your game.

Unfortunately, I don't speak any Romanian, but if you have any questions/suggestions please post and I will do my best to read them all.

As mentioned above the first article will be published on 28th of October.

Good luck at the tables!

First of all, thank you very much for doing this !
Second, you've just said about suggestions. I have some suggestions for you if not bother:
Could you make some videos/articles about the following, please:
1. How do you determine what equity you have while playing and How to proceed on various flops with no equity ?
2. What kind of flops there are and how do you recognize them and how do you play accordingly on them ?
3. When and how you decide to check/call, check/raise and check/fold your hand ?

Thank you !

All good questions.

Hopefully a lot of this will appear in the series, for example we will talk a little about flop-texture in the article on cbetting/barrelling, and a little bit about determining your equity in the article on hand-reading.

If there is time I will start answering your questions in next weeks video.

Thanks for your suggestions

I want to ask you something about bankroll management/variation.
1. When are you gonna close a table ? After winning how much and/or after loosing how much ?
2. How do you make table selection ?
3. When are you gonna close a session ? After winning how much and/or after loosing how much ?
4. I heard some other players that you should close a table after loosing 2 or 3 stacks at that table. How do you count them if your software client i configured to make rebuy to full stack every time ? eg. You just loose 1/4 of you stack and the next hand you get autorebuy for a new full stack.
5. What about playing multitable ? How many tables you play and how many hours per day in order to have such a nice PokerTracker graph ?
What is your advice for a beginner if he wanna play multitable ? Asking you this because I heard that you could play worse when do multitable. According to this, how could you fix this leak ?

Thank you !

Hey Unknown,

Thanks for the questions,

I just finished recording the second video and I've briefly mentioned some of your first questions. I will answer the others here in the thread -

1. I don't set a limit on how much I win/lose. I think of poker as one long, continuous session. The main in factor on whether I continue playing is mindset/confidence. So long as I feel I'm playing my best game I will continue playing regardless of how much I win/lose.

2. Sometimes you can get a rough indication by looking at the players/flop and average-pot size in the software lobby. Typically, the higher these numbers the better the table. I usually avoid tables with too many shortstackers (<40bb), and the best situation you can find is being in position on a fish. It helps to tag players with colour-codes, because depending on the software you use, it will show the colours in the lobby and allow you to quickly identify tables with lots of fish. You can also consider using table selection software such as "table-scan turbo".

3. Same as question 1

4. Ideally you will need some tracking software such as Holdem-manager or Pokertracker. You can then refresh your session stats to see how much $ you are down. How much you are up/down in a session is not necessarily important so long as you have good bankroll-management and don't need to be moving down stakes very soon. You should focus as much as you can on playing the best poker you can, not whether you are up or down

5. Multitabling is a great idea if you want to increase your volume. I do think in general however many players try to play too many tables too quickly. I played 1 table for a long time until eventually trying 3-4. I didn't put in a lot of volume at the time but I was definitely only playing a maximum of 4 tables for at least a year. I know people who have just been playing for a few months and try to play 6 tables, and I definitely think it is too much for them. As you start out in your poker career, your main interest should be in improving your game and making the best plays possible, not putting in sick volume.

These days I will play up to 15 tables at a time, but it has taken a lot of experience and slowly adding tables one at a time when I think I can cope. Everyone is different; but it's better to play slightly too few tables than to play too many and suddenly become a losing player.

As for how often I play....usually anywhere between 1-8 hours a day. Some days I don't even play. That's the great thing about poker, you have a lot more freedom with how you use your time.

It's a HEM feature.

I believe it shows the average VPIP/PFR and pot-size (which I don't really use). You can also click on the winners of the previous hands to bring up a copy of the hand-history for those hands.

@w34z3l: Thank you for doing all of this !

Hey, I have just seen your vid !
Nice one !
Wanna ask you something (again ) :
1. You play a hand like A2 or A5 and the flop comes AKXr and you've said that the bet line is gonna be just two streets: bet flop and turn and check the river OR check the flop and bet the turn and the river. Why this ? Could you explain more deeper, please ?
Why not bet/bet/bet every street ? Anyway, on the river you folded because the board became dangerous. => It wouldn't then be more wise to bet every street in order to avoid free dangerous cards ?

2. You forgot to say what hands you play from each position and which hand do you call/fold and raise a 3bet with versus each position.

Thank you !

Why not bet/bet/bet every street ?

In this particular hand the big-blind is a regular. It is unlikely he is ever going to be calling 3barrels with a hand like a Kx or worse. If we did fire 3 streets and he called, it's likely the weakest hand he would ever show up with is an Ax type hand, and since we have the A2 any Ax is going to win at showdown. We should therefore be able to see immediately on the flop that it is not realistic to get more than 2 streets of value unless our hand improves.

Anyway, on the river you folded because the board became dangerous. => It wouldn't then be more wise to bet every street in order to avoid free dangerous cards ?

Actually the main reason I folded was because he overbet, and at the micro-stakes this means at the very least he probably has 2-pair in this spot. To a smaller size bet I might consider a call, but may still fold since as you say, the river isn't a great card.

As mentioned we can't fire 3 streets here unless our hand improves. AKx rainbow is not an especially draw heavy board, so by checking the flop we don't risk too much and make it easier for him to call down turn and river with a Kx or TT type hand (because he expects us to cbet nearly all our Ax hands and a lot of our Kx hands on the flop).

The other line I mentioned was to bet/check/bet , which has a similar effect to the check/bet/bet line. He expects us to barrel our strong made hands on the turn and can potentially look us up on the river with that Kx and TT.

If we did fire flop AND turn in this case he may consider folding Kx or TT to the second barrel because there is the threat of a large river bet, and we potentially lose value. (If we had reason to believe his range was draw heavy we could definitely fire flop and turn and check back the river, but I do not specifically mention this line).

2. You forgot to say what hands you play from each position and which hand do you call/fold and raise a 3bet with versus each position.

Thank you !

To make a comprehensive list of which hands to open from which positions against which opponents with which particular stack sizes would take a lifetime. I do discuss some general rules in the video and this was exactly my intention. You don't want to memorise a huge set of rules but rather to understand the principles behind why you are playing certain hands.
Ultimately you need to formulate your own ideas about which hands you raise from which positions. If you think have a solid reason for doing something, do it! The reasons for doing something are far more important than the play itself.

Hope it answers your questions
