lol I think it's more that 2NL is very nitty most of the time and not going to battle for pots pre with non nut 3 bet ranges

Yes, its not as easy as it used to be. You need to study and improve.

10nl

Ah cool! :) What's your name on Pokerstars? (or do you want to keep it secret to exploit me? ;-)

@@ArtigianPoker DaveVinyl is my name at pokerstars ;) Du solltest ein paar Stats von mir haben, haha

Unfortunately, that's not true. 66 would be a mix between all 3 options against a CO open in GTO if the opening size is 2.3x. But he made it 3x, which means that in GTO this is a pure fold. That said, exploitatively, you can of course 3bet if you know that he overfolds to 3bets or if he is fit or fold postflop.

@@ArtigianPoker Thats assuming the open raise is made by a GTO optimal person, at 2nl that is never the case...lol

I think that is a wise strategy.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of check-calling the river after betting flop and turn. With 3rd pair, I only have a bluff catcher, and I don't see a lot of bluffs in his range after he calls 2 barrels.

You're correct that you don't pay rake if you win the hand preflop. But you do pay rake whether you win or lose the hand. Everyone who puts money into the pot (including the blinds if they fold preflop), will pay a portion of the rake.

I answered your question in my Ask Me Anything live stream on my other channel because I wanted to answer it in more than just a couple of sentences. It was the 5th question, so it is fairly at the beginning. Here's the link: kzbin.infovi-IF5yKhXI

I have heard that. I’ve never played on GG, but the games must be insanely good. Shame that their rake is so terrible.

Yeah, agree on this one.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comment!

@@ArtigianPoker Your welcome ;) by the way are you german? Your name sounds a lot like a german one :)

@@DaveVinylMusic I am German. Where are you from?

@@ArtigianPoker Ich auch. Ich komme aus Mainz und du?

Well do e! Keep going!

Yeah that sounds very differently. Do you play on Zoom on Pokerstars? I think the regular tables are much looser and a lot more money is going in, but on zoom I find that the pools are very nitty on anything between 2NL and 100NL

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah the audio is very quiet but the annoying PS buzzer seems at full volume

Thanks! Yes, I will try to make it louder.

I know. I will try to reduce the volume of that annoying PS buzzer.

Baically, just use the ones on GTO Wizard. They are commonly accepted as being the most accurate ones. Make sure to choose the lowest stakes available on the rake structure. If you pretty much follow those, you will do fine. Here's a link to GTOW.

@@ArtigianPoker I have free membership but not too simple for a smooth brain like me to understand! I can't even find the ranges 🤣 I always feel that playing GTO at 2nl is nuts it's too wide and they just play anything!

Great to hear that my videos provide you with value. Also, I would highly recommend watching my free 1 hour masterclass for loose and splashy games on my main channel "Live Poker Guide". It is applicable for low stakes online games as well. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pojapHlurNCKr6c

@@ArtigianPoker Thank you for the info. You should start a "Bankroll Challenge" so you can get your tipps for every limit. Would be reallc cool if you ask me.

Thanks. Yes, I rewatched it and I agree. I even said it on stream that he most likely has a pocket pair. But my thinking was: he might only call 50% of the time with lower pocket pairs and he will sometimes turn that into a bluff and then I have to fold, while he would always call with a better Ace. However: what I didn't consider is that a reg would never flat call there preflop, which means he's a recreational. Had I computed that in the moment, I would definitely have gone for value. So yes, going B50 is definitely the way to go.

Legal! Boa sorte! Ate a prossima!

Yeah that was exactly my thought, when I played 2NL. It is definitely beatable for decent players, but it's not like players are just throwing money away.

Haha, yeah, always good to see other players struggle ;-)

Thank you, much appreciated!

I normally play live 1/2, 1/3 and 2/5. I only really play online either for training purposes or for the stream. So the stakes you see here are the ones I play, but 90% of my volume is live. Also, my main KZbin channel is about live poker.

I replied to this question in my Ask Me Anything live stream on my other channel today. Here's the link: kzbin.infoBpNzwj9lQUU The answer starts at around 12:00

That is awesome! Great to hear! Here's my first video on 5NL if you haven't seen it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4fPmnasataZb9U

Hey, thanks for watching and pointing that out! I'll crank up the microphone volume for the next video.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't play enough volume to get any meaningful win rate. Variance is so high that even 100k hands will not tell you your true win rate. And I put most of my volume in live play rather than online, so I don't know.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear that the content is useful. On my other channel (Live Poker Guide) I also do lots of educational content about poker. You might want to check that out too if you haven't seen it yet: www.youtube.com/@LivePokerGuide

Thanks! I'm not a fan of those sounds either. I will see if I can turn them off somehow, never tried.

Awesome. If you turn off directly card animation the sound will disappear and the whole card dealing is more smooth.

Thanks, will do next time.

Thanks! So the snap bets and checks are usually tells. It depends what the situation is because a snap check to the aggressor is very different to a snap check in position. In general, I would say snap checks remove the middle of someone's range and make the top of their range slightly less likely. Snap bets can mean a lot of things, so this one is harder. Large bets, esp in mw pots tend to mean a lot of strength. Donk bets are normally rather weak, but if they donk pot, I would treat them with a lot more respect. I would be much more inclined to fold pretty much everything except for the top of my range. I recently published a video on my other channel about exactly these sort of things. Here it is in case you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ3FoYF6pL2BfLc

Thank you!

Thanks! I do actually do play and explains for regular cash game tables. Here’s an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4LTmWt-Z86rbM0si=RGwsFGlQR4MVvvQc I’m planning to do another one in the next few days.
