GL Mikel would just recommend playing more and gaining experience 25NL is very beatable on stars pool is quite nitty post flop. People will also overcall your 3bet and under 4bet. This is just a nugget of information for you 😃

Why don’t u play 8 handed anymore ?

HAHA nice start man

Hand 1 (AsAh): If villain's range is polarised (can you have three poles?) then why would we check-raise if they bet small? In any case, solvers have taught us that villain should never bet small when we check river. Players may do it but the optimal line can't rely on a mistake. Just block-betting the river ourselves loses a bit of value when they have a good flush but hoovers up far more from weaker hands.

Hey Mikel, Thanks for this session. If you need some good free Preflop GTO ranges just let me know. The last hand (22) you can bluff it with your specific hand on the river when the board is extremely wet. If the fish has an very high VPIP and is big bet size is somewhat the standard i would also call the flop

This guy is worse than the 5nl guy. They both should be playing the inverse stakes 😆

As played 22 has about 50% equity on the river. Too much to bluff with and not enough to value bet with.

I play 100nl. Should I leave this 25nl only space?

33:51 opponent's range made no sense but is check raising a good option there ?

In my Pokerstars pool there is no 25nl… it’s 30nl…

How are there not more views on these videos? Hands down the best free content online.

People actually still do play starcraft2

but . . . I have actually played a few sessions of 100nl . . . . recently.

2mins in,stopped,you basically saying play like a nit,that’s the advise fellas lmao

How do people feel about bluff check raising the pocket 2s. That 7 high board seems like it hits us more that the opponent and we have the flush blocker (as much as a 2 ever can be). I think that line would look a lot like a set all of which we have in range and we also have more flush draws if another diamond hits. If the opponent continues or plays back easy fold and we deny equity and avoid getting bluffed off. May be not against big bet as we have here but at a low frequency I think this could be profitable.

The AI photos for this channel are hysterical 🤣

I heard one time in a real that a 4 card flush board is very underbluffed.

Leets Gooo!

You are the goat peter

Great series -- appreciate the humor :)

It'd be interesting to see what a solver would do with AK vs that huge raise, it's probably not even an exploitative fold vs that sizing, solver probably folds most of the time

You should draw some whiskers on to go with your cat ears

His cluttered thought process makes my head hurt. Typical reg thought process to panic and project when facing a large bet on the river.

love the cat ears chair uwu

Not feeling the 77 hand, you would need to have played with villain for a while to make the assumptions you are making

I am from Germany as well, here we can only play 4 tables at a time. So I assume kevin plays fast fold tables most of the time. I heard that he plays on Partypoker but I found that everyone is fckn nitty there since you cant use Hud. Are there fast fold games running on Bet online? I am planning to play on there since it it the only non german-regulated, ok-raked, Hud-allowed site here.

at carrot from a 100nl player, i think the 20:40 is exploit so good we can do it with JJ TT even Q8. so not doing it with 77 is a punt. in live some people fold 2 pair vs this for sure. i think with 22 at 24:20 we should definitely bet huge turn jam river hes just not got enough calls.

Only complaint about this series is that the editor needs to show the pre-flop action. I can usually figure out what happened but on eg the 77 hand there's like a second to notice that hero raises to 5BB UTG and button calls before it goes to the flop. Otherwise this is great content and I always learn something new.

Pete from the future - your chair gives you cat's ears. unless you were actually wearing cat's ears for Halloween . . .

on which sites does kevin normally play?

What a beast Kevin is 💪

Good luck, See you on the felt. Unsubscribe ✅

11:10 I prefer a pot sized 3b on the turn, villain is under checking flush draws on the flop. Villain's sizing is linear and indicative of a 'protection check back river' raise. Villain is capped at one pair, even AsJx is betting flop at some frequency. So best hand villain has with a spade at a high frequency is QsJx. I'd follow through on all rivers as well

🔥🔥🔥🔥

question about first hand: H has many bluffs here (AQo KQo KJo...). as the oop player i really expect IP to overbluff here so ill overcall any pairs. therefore in your thinking process should you consider V's player type before overbluffing with any 2 broadways ?

to me its a call simply because of the "wtf factor".

Jesus. 8 minutes in and you've said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. GET TO IT ALREADY. ZZZZZ

Subscribed for a while now, by far one of the most educational videos. Seriously considering to get the course/coaching after this video.

benababee would fold

Snap fold.

Your best video.

Just snap call, and win 70% of the time, and when he shows you AA move on...

Can hero have tons of worse hands than A5 or 33 that raise river for value? A5>65s>33 (1 combo max), A5,33>54s but what other non-boat 5x does hero have (maybe K5s once in a blue moon). Hero never has a straight, so only other raises are A6s maybe? Not saying that in practise this means V won't jam A5s or 33, but I think it's a lot thinner than it intuitively looks at first glance

I have folded boats in similar lines, but I wouldn't fold this one.

really interesting hand. Being low stakes, i think the only combos are: 3combos AA, 1 combo A5s, 1 combo 33, and 1 combo 55, 0 combo of bluffs and merges. So in my mind it is clearly a fold, an exploitative, ultra mega rare hero fold.

This is 100% a fold at this level.

What about 55 and some straight? Doesn't change the math much but it's missing. Unhappy call is right.

Just pay

Can you have a + winrate if you never bluff?

Yeah you missed 55 ... Still ... TRUE EV I guess we all need to say that on NL20 people will merge 5x all over the place. If you play against a highly capable player, okay, be my guest. I think the most true EV view on the topic is the amount of merge. Pete touched briefly on that. I think its very likely that K5s exists 2 times. Also, we do not know if we can rule out A5o so heavily. We have the definition of a value beater and you should only fold with a very very exploitative case - and even then we may be WRONG by folding. If you fold here, you basically only call quad fives. This could be okay for the spot. I think the biggest learning from the hand that the small raise on the river does not make much sense. The true EV line here is jam. You can get called by worse but you do not want to get jammed on. The "mode of investment" for the biggest part of our opponents range (5x, Ax) is by calling. Maybe sometimes a guy can not fold top pair. Just JAM on the bet yourself. We would never spoken about the spot. You have like 95% equity. Just put it in and we are all good.
