Avoiding setups in the early game | bencb Live Play #1

[@RaiseYourEdge]

It's always tough to avoid setups, especially in a tournament environment. Hope you guys enjoyed the video and don't forget to like and subscribe and leave any feedback down below!

[@clementodenknirps7161]

Since I see alot of comments that say there are too many tables, I want to say, that I really like it this way. Most viewers play in the same way anyway, so i dont see a problem.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

i completely understand that for beginners this format is a little overwhelming but we are all here to learn from each other

[@slb159]

I don't see the problem either. People can always hit the rewind button like I do. I think I recall him saying in an earlier video that he plays up to 25 tables when not recording, so this is probably a laid-back Sunday afternoon for him anyway haha.

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Shit I can’t even play that many tables cuz the site doesn’t have that much action. Can’t wait till it’s legal in all the states again😡

[@AbhishekChauhan321]

Bro , please bring back all those videos . they were so awesome

[@RaiseYourEdge]

Most won't unfortunately. We will see what we can do with some. Don't worry though, lots more coming :-)

[@norispintilie6838]

But what happened with them?

[@Pokerlikejobeu]

[@HaveSomeClarity]

Massive respect for not letting that issue stop you. The GOAT.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

thank you buddy, we will never stop!

[@JH4eva]

Amazing! Here from Brazil watching your videos. Thanks for share!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

you are welcome buddy, i am here to share my knowledge with you

[@geoffbeyer1873]

Ben's on another level playing this many tables on one screen. Just like the coaching vids with Lex, I love listening to the way he approaches the game.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

glad you like it buddy

[@ivanbokhonko8712]

on 56:30 isildur has value bet only if u will call with some Ax , otherway he has not enough Equity

[@jacksaunders1654]

Great video Ben! Really made me feel at nature, especially the birds singing in the background

[@temurimchedlidze1043]

I'm learning on your videos please make this video in rashan language thanks for your work

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we are trying to put all the elements in our videos so we are happy that you like it :)

[@redair118]

@bencb to fix the color at only one table u have to activate --> Multi-tabling --> Table Themes Customization -- > Apply to this table only

[@RaiseYourEdge]

ok thank you buddy

[@sergiy7498]

Church bells after first break are awesome. I think it`s good sign. God bless Raiseyouredge!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

i thought so too :) god bless all of you guys

[@MrTiJoao]

Ben, thank you very much, really. You are a trully inspiration. Every video you launch i took around 2.5x time writing notes. Please keep going the good work :-)

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we wont stop, and great work talking notes these notes will get you to the next level

[@lukasbutzke5884]

Really like your videos, specially your live sessions recorded! A lot to learn in one hour and a half! Thanks for sharing, awesome content, as always :) GL!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

thank you for the kind words. We are trying to give you guys the best material to learn that we have

[@arce5787]

Hey Ben, great content as always! Wanted to ask about 1:19:38 shoving AJo utg, this kind of situation happens very often and I'm not sure how to play specifically AJo and KQo utg with 15bb, sometimes I even raise fold or fold preflop, because I don't see it as profitable shove against calling ranges. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on that.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

It is about the foldequity you have plus the equity when called. You should defenitely study those spots with the help of nash.

[@MHKpoker]

Hey Ben nice to see the videos back! Great content! Thank you and GL!!!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we are also happy, thank you for the feedback

[@adrianoalves20]

What´s up Ben? Great video! I have a question: minute 38:25 the AJ hand left side, why is the 2s the best bluff card? Wouldn´t be better for you to bluff without a spade? You´re repping QT, J9, KQ? What do you think his range is? TX, J8? Thanks!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

Because we block the flushes he can have. If the flushdraw bricks I wouldnt continue bluffing since we block his folding range (flushdraws).

[@gleniofcoelho]

Wow, this is extremely nice of you to come up with videos like this for free Ben. Wish you the best man, gl! :)

[@RaiseYourEdge]

our goal is to give as much free content as we can, im glad you like it

[@skaddy3762]

What do you do with pocket 7s vs probirs ~~25:30 when he calls your raise and the jack comes on the turn? @RaiseYourEdge

[@Jeroeny]

Thanks for the video Ben. About 44 on the leftside at 1:09:57. You say it is a rejam. Is 44 the bottom of your default jamming range UTG versus BB 25 bbs effective? I think I would jam 77+ here. But maybe you have a read on him that he is opening too wide UTG?

[@RaiseYourEdge]

for 25bb and less you can rejam any pair profitably against any position from BB.

[@EuthanizePitbulls]

@@RaiseYourEdge Ben, can you elaborate on the projected UTG ranges created when pointing this out? Feels like reshoving 25 bb vs most utg opening ranges 9-handed is rather optimistic/punty...Thanks, appreciate the vids

[@mitcelli]

58:08 is that a spot you could open shove 89s from the cutoff?.. with two guys

[@RaiseYourEdge]

would be okay but not insanely printing. Prefer raising.

[@andreasp8303]

thanks for a new vid! may i ask what u even changed compared to former videos? we still see stats notes etc.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

less stats

[@andreasp8303]

lol

[@mattnoell557]

Do you have any vids with less tables? I was having trouble following which game you were talking about at any particular spot better than half the time.

[@RaiseYourEdge]

check out our content you will find enough

[@DubleBuble19]

Hey. Does anyone know if Ben is clicking the on tables or he only hovers them over and it makes them active? If that's the thing how can you make that happen? Thanks

[@RaiseYourEdge]

hey buddy, when it is my turn the tables pops up if you have them set up like I do, but when i want to select a table i have to click.

[@DubleBuble19]

Raise Your Edge Thanks Ben, you have mastered the clicking to max speed , Haha.

[@robwanders_]

I think this is great content! Action everywhere, and if it goes to fast I'll just pause it. learn alot from your Masterclass and these YT vids!! keep it up

[@RaiseYourEdge]

thank you for the nice comment we are happy that people can benefit from our content

[@Ohlegab]

nice video! how can I add the number of bb in big on the bottom left from pokertracker?

[@RaiseYourEdge]

im using HM2 there you have a option for it

[@xxChacaronXX]

I much rather see someone play 4 tables and talk about their entire range building process instead of so many different spots on different tables. I'm obviously very grateful for the free content tho :D

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we will upload different stuff in the future, stay tuned and let´s crush

[@xxChacaronXX]

Will do, thanks Ben!

[@michelbruinsma9075]

Thanks for the free content Ben. Also you're accent is really cool to listen to :)

[@RaiseYourEdge]

only for you guys and thank you buddy

[@Caspervt]

Hey Ben, what would you say is a more profitable open 100bb deep 6 handed, a hand like AToff or Q9s and why? Given raw equity vs playability. I´m trying to get a better understanding of why to put certain hands in (opening) ranges.

[@DavidMartins2]

Yeahhh new video yaaa :) Entertaining, fun and educational thanks Ben :)

[@RaiseYourEdge]

thanks, that is our mission

[@KKpokerPH]

@ 7:14 55 better flat than 4bet shoving?

[@mikkel8861]

Just made my coffee and see that daddy is back again with some FRESH high quality content. Life is good

[@RaiseYourEdge]

We are always trying to give back as much as possible buddy :)

[@vemprapista3872]

Hello Ben. in pokerstars I have this configuration that when I move the mouse on the screen it is superimposed on others that are nearby, I realized that in your partypoker happens the same thing. Do you use any software to set it up this way or does the partypoker itself have this option? thanks for the live session, glgl!

[@RaiseYourEdge]

I really dont know which setting you mean? Can you elaborate?

[@truetrue2963]

AJ hand around 1:05 why did u type something in the chat? that was the only time u did that lol. could u not continue betting and rep the straight yourself ?

[@nunobaptista1841]

some six man turbo will be good , we have so poor material 6 man turbo on youtube :) gl mate nice videos like always

[@RaiseYourEdge]

stay tuned in the future there will come more stuff

[@zeetox7694]

Never clicked so fast while grinding

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we are happy that you enjoy the videos :)

[@pauljones3587]

Hi Ben What about 46.33 when you was getting over 5 to 1 with ace 8 in big blind I was just curious if you would of folded if it was suited?

[@Yerr1337]

Suited ace is a nobrainer call. Offsuit performs terribly and is too often dominated. Even if you hit an ace you're only winning small pots or playing in bluffcatcher mode and losing big pots.

[@Humla17]

insane, I tried 4 tables once, I got a fk heartattack ;p unbelievable to see what people are capable of...love to watch it :p

[@RaiseYourEdge]

thanks buddy, it took me a long time to get it done but hard work and dedication can get you a lot of places

[@arminhunger481]

lawl - 4 tabling is pretty confident, even for fishys... but playin over 11+ tables with results like master bencb is rly awesome :>

[@ap6342]

I hope you can reupload all the tournament reviews with callmuckty and the other guys, those have been just pure value! But nice to see you back uploading new videos 💪🏼

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we are trying everything in our power to get as many up again as possible

[@adrianoalves20]

I know it´s a dying format but could you record a sesh playing 45-180 man SNG? Preferably Turbo. : )

[@RaiseYourEdge]

we have a lot planned for the future so stay tuned :)

[@rafaelamaro817]

Hey ben. Do you use the rule of 5 and 10% for calling raises pre and post flop? Congrats for 30k winning yesterday 💪

[@RaiseYourEdge]

depends on a lot of things, postiton step sizes icm etc.

[@rafaelamaro817]

Raise Your Edge oh ok, i know that rule is not a standard play but im freeking out, everyday in the same mtt i finished always in top 20, everyday, sound like a curse or maybe i just dont know how to play that final stage. Going to check out your new vid 🙏

[@essanhajimustapha1178]

very awesome content .. thanks a lot for sharing it

[@RaiseYourEdge]

only for you guys

[@andresantana7876]

ben at 1:12:00 what would be your open range at that A3o hand ? would you like open 87s since your have 18 bigs and both blinds are very short aswell ? i am never sure how to approach those spots .. and would you play the KTo like the bb did or would you shove over your raise pre ? really interesting spot. thanks for the video and keep up the good work !

[@RaiseYourEdge]

First you need to put in some work with HRC/ICMizer in order to estimate the frequency you can raise/fold with. Then you pick hands that are quite marginal as a jam. The very +ev hands which we can not raise/call tho (22-33 or JTs, K9s,K8s etc..) we just jam. Then we raise/fold the slightly -ev or slightly +ev all in hands and balance them with our premium hands. With

[@Dzastater]

Ben, Imagine you have KK, you are big blind no flop, would it be better to raise big from the beginning? what if you are under the gun, would you just jam them or would you flat/trapcheck in order to make them think you don't have a great hand. One of the hardest things is when to bet big or when to trapcheck, i always think if you let many people limp, that you will get a badhit which is obviously less profit than bet big and win a smaller pot after they eventually fold

Why did you fold ace 5 in big blind when you was getting such a good price?

[@RaiseYourEdge]

timestamp ?

[@pauljones3587]

Raise Your Edge thanks for your reply. Yeah it was ace 4 at 35.38 sorry, but anyway you were getting over 4 to 1 in big blind! That’s good odds for a call! Don,t you look at the odds in big blind?

[@skylerbeckett4239]

Its versus two opponents and 2.5x. Both ranges are much stronger than ours. Also we don't realize equity very well OOP.

[@pauljones3587]

Skyler Beckett but your getting 9 to 2 odds! Gambling is all about getting over the odds! You miss my point about gets odds to call.

[@gerardo231]

Houston Howie he makes the videos for free and not with intend of earning money on twitch or whatever, so obv prioritize how he feels comfortable grinding and not how it makes a better video

[@hhoust1]

I realize that, I play the exact same way, idk how any of the schematics work and whether or not you could still play this way and make it look different on video, I was just voicing one problem that makes it harder to watch the video personally. I also heard him say something about wanting his content to be the best, and I think that a format change would make it better

[@RaiseYourEdge]

Take it easy guys, we will try a lot of different formats in the future, we are trying to get better everyday, just like you. Stay updated more valuable stuff to come soon.

[@robwanders_]

I can spend a whole day watching this video, pause it and really think about the hands. On twitch, streamers only show 1table and sometimes you miss the action.

thats why i wanted to show you guys my whole screen because it is max value for you guyss
