Hey mate, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome content!! Loving your channel and the informative, humble way you approach the game. Please keep the awesome videos coming mate!!😀👍 #outstanding

[@SimonStaxPoker]

How lovely to hear-thanks for the kind words mate, really helps on a downswing! More content coming soon!!

[@robertkennedy8475]

I swear this video just sums up online poker for me I just don't know how much I trust it I understand ur going to run bad but man I've been playing for a couple years online and I've lost so much money getting sucked out on its completely crazy

[@austinhoffa99]

GG is whacky , I’ve played 97 k hands in less than a year . The cards come out different at the casino imo .

[@Susgussss]

They pump the cards like crazy especially the unregulated websites. It’s not rigged in anyone’s favor but it’s definitely not real poker with how many nutty runouts happen in a single session.

[@TheVoiceofReason4ya]

GG has to be one of the most action inducing sites I have ever played. Take that any which way you want. Everyone always has a piece and there are never any bricks it feels like, and no one knows how to fold. makes it feel like bingo.

[@SimonStaxPoker]

That's a really good way of putting it to be honest. Whether running good or bad, I do feel like there is a lot of action. Could partly be from running 4 tables and just seeing a lot of spots potentially as well... Wouldn't mind a bit of run good though haha

[@TheVoiceofReason4ya]

@@SimonStaxPoker Ive been playing poker for about 26 years, live and online. I have never seen more action than at GG. It's almost like you are playing short decked, and not knowing it. The reads, calls, etc, its not even poker. the only good thing about GG is the traffic and polished software. Bodog, and even ACR at least you can get folds.

[@toddmurphy390]

I kind of agree however at least it’s not like stars where I have been dealt KK vs AA up to 10 times in a day playing cash. Then the one time it’s the other way the guy hits the K. That has happened too many days to count on that completely rigged site.

Ouch

[@danielhonig5440]

I run like this all time on gg and cash tables, I can't believe it but I try it alltime. Iam not a bad player so I can fold to. But it look ridicolous all good hands I played I get really ridicolous sucked out. So when I have AA someone press preflop 10$ all in. Sure you call and surprise he have 28 not connectet. So no wounder flop come 2 3 2 turn be a 8 river be a 8. He wins. So another hand. I have AK nobody raise. Flop comes A 2 K I check. Someone press all in 9.90 $ I called. He show 56. Turn comes a 3 river be a 4. He won. So I can tell you like 20k hands. I get runner runner or ridiculous beats from player who fold so much to play shit when I have just to win b runner runner. Since yesterday iam sure I still can't win there no matter how good I am. Bye the way I win real cash tables or tournaments and I never see thinks happenz like on gg. That's not a downswing over 2 years. No they still rigged me out. Iam not a amateur poker player so I know it's not possible to get fucked like this for 90% of the time. That's not possible. Just for info I called like 100$ on chips on 10nl to look how much unreal bad beats I will get. So 70% where runner runner. No joke. So this rng Programm let me have a 100% permanent downswing 😉.

[@boojay7076]

I think the issue is you over commit your hand pre flop... I have aces so no matter what comes on flop turn river I'm never folding. The key to being a great poker player is being able to access the situation and folding when you know you're beat. Usually when people flat call pre and then want to get 100bb in they usually have you beat. Just because you start with AA or KK doesn't mean you're guaranteed the pot

[@SimonStaxPoker]

Remember these are mostly just the big pots I show, definitely folding aces and kings sometimes but I agree with your overall point, sometimes I hang onto cards thinking about their face value rather than their value against our opponents range-something I'm trying to get better at!

[@dawidnadlonek2638]

1st hand BB v HJ bro TT and 99 is pure call, not 3bet at all, even more confiedent in this its NL5, where people flat more often :)

[@jakobyuksel7420]

AK hand where you folded to 3x river shove: how is the king of clubs relevant? He doesn’t bluff with the king of c as it is a pair. Having the A of c would be a whole different story.

[@SimonStaxPoker]

Yeah I think that is probably a good point - I think at the time I was probably thinking that we simply reduce the amount of club draws he has but that's obviously a pair which he isn't really repping here. I still think the fold is correct as what bluffs does he have that are 5x raising turn IP and 3x pot jamming river? (p.s. if you can time stamp any hands you wanna talk about in future that would really help )🙏

[@joshuahopping7013]

That is what they do……. Exactly what you said, they literally pick the winner with their software , deal out 2 great hands and even let them come on the board, just no longer picked you to win it but to stay in with a monster also. Online poker Sucks bad

[@shwnmnstr77]

@@joshuahopping7013 these sites make literally billions in rake over their life time. It makes zero sense for them to rig anything. Why would you cut corners that risk your entire venture when your venture is printing money. Use logic. Online poker feels surreal because you can play 500 hands an hour so the crazy 1/10000 suff happens multiple times in a day and our fragile human minds can't handle it. I repeat, online poker is not rigged people, load up and play!

[@dunner079]

Well your first hand at 1:43 , betting Aces into a 10 high flop is not something you should be doing in a single raised pot let alone a multiway pot. The big blind has a massive advantage against both of you on this flop and you can expect a very strong range here.

[@fexcasanova]

3:25 that sh was not random. That ace on the River was to make sure you make the call. Saw that type of sh só many times

[@SimonStaxPoker]

Pretty bad play by me tbh. I should just fold turn and DEFINITELY fold river.

[@fexcasanova]

@@SimonStaxPoker i agree. But it is very weird. You had chips behind and hit 2 outs. Does something as a test then tell me if i'm paranoid, is this: pay attention in how you run against players you have no hands played yet(or at lest very few)the no ununsual regs(if you see a new guy in the pool, pay attention on your 80% when you get in good.)see how many times you'll get fkd

[@yooyoo8637]

I feel like the last hand was a tilt call, you would fold that hand if you wasn’t on a downswing. I wouldn’t give a NL5 villain enough credit for finding bluffs there.

[@dunner079]

98s 3:45 from the HJ (not a great spot to open raise this hand) and betting top pair with no range advantage. Your building pots with no incentive due to the flop texture and your not betting big enough for such an infrequent board to bet on. No offense but your all over the place. The first hand AA was a fold by the turn.

[@SimonStaxPoker]

Plenty of mistakes looking back now

Which hand are you referring to? I've played a fair few rivers 😂

[@melodii]

@@SimonStaxPoker multiple spots, was more of a generalization. I think you could check back and be good in a lot of spots. You also bet when nothing worse is calling/raising. I recommend you get a solver and view your opponent's ranges to see what theyre continuing with.

man you make many bad calls thats not a question of ev there , when you say he hit runner runner clubs , man he got a pair on flop , thats just normal to call with second pair + bcdoor fd , and river you must fold he have absolutly no bluff when you size like that , he can have any kx clubs too , your call with the aces on flop 69t is border when we know the field but ok why not , on turn this an absolute fold and on river this is again a fold , man this is not your run , you make bad decisions , and you can think its easy to say that but ppl saying something and do not what they say , but here its just obvious , this is not hard to guess a value sometimes

[@SimonStaxPoker]

I have to agree with you. Some of these plays are really bad. Should be checking that river with AA or betting bigger on earlier streets. The AK hand is an overplay. I think bet-folding the river is fine or checking back but when we get to the river, 1 pair hands just are rarely worth 3 streets of value. I'm working hard to improve my game a lot and hopefully you'll see that in future videos. Thanks for watching man.

What do you mean by “we have to call”? You don’t… so don’t call…

[@SimonStaxPoker]

I'm not sure which hand you're referring to but usually if I say that it's because they will either have enough bluffs or enough value combos that we still beat to make it a profitable call.

[@LowcaNiedzwiedzi]

@@SimonStaxPoker you said it a lot of times 😄 it’s low stakes. You are not playing vs Tom Dwan. Especially when they raise you on the river, you have a pretty easy fold. I know it’s hard to let go of your “premium hands”, but folding more often will make you a more profitable player for sure.

[@SimonStaxPoker]

@@LowcaNiedzwiedzi you're probably right to be fair. We do have to call sometimes though or we are over folding. Hopefully can continue to improve in 2022!
