Crushing A Loose Aggressive Player At My Table

#ad
In this poker vlog I'm playing the 1/2 no limit cash game at MGM Grand. This was an awesome session with big hands, great action, and super awesome people at the table! Definitely one of my favorite vlogs so far.

It was a pleasure playing with you and the gang at MGM! It was great fun! Loved this video re-living it all again! Cant wait to see what you get up to over the coming months

[@4betblind]

Emily!! The pleasure was all mine! Thanks for the kind words, and I hope to see you next summer 🙂 Take care!

[@robvegaspoker6427]

Hi Emily, Well, I did what I promised you in person I hope you liked it. Take care!

[@robvegaspoker]

Emily, I had forgotten that on your great quad 6's hand, you victimized poor Will. Oh well, he got a great VLOG out of it! I just now posted the rest of the story, with your great reaction to your good fortune! Hope you enjoy it.

Love the humor in your channel. The trust issues due to captain crunch mistakes is professional level comedy.

[@joshgoossen7440]

That was the best/funniest poker video I’ve ever watched!

[@frankreed7560]

I love your humor and style, I think it lends itself well to a wider audience. However, I find myself getting lost in a lot of the technical jargon and strategy as a college dorm poker player. To this end, I think a series of videos introducing/teaching concepts with a lot of jokes would be really useful and popular. Maybe a set of videos that serves as an intro to poker (especially higher level play), and then a series of videos dedicated to specific strategies and concepts? Just a thought but I could see you becoming a hub for accessible, funny poker videos for people who aren’t in the usual “scene.”

[@4betblind]

thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I'm slowly branching into coaching and strategy, a beginner style series of videos is definitely something i'll consider.

[@ACStuart]

​@4betblind I agree with the other guy! Your editing and writing are leagues better than similar channels, but it's hard to follow as someone newly interested in the game. If you don't want to do explainers, maybe consider just having pop-up cards that define the terms as you're saying them for the first time in each video. I really think you could do great with non-poker people through humor and good editing, especially if you make reels/tiktoks of your best hands without getting lost in jargon.

[@4betblind]

I appreciate the feedback! Were there any specific moments or terms that stuck out to you as needing explanation?@@ACStuart

[@wobwobrob]

Hard disagree - please don't dumb down the content!

[@ACStuart]

@@wobwobrob I'm not suggesting that he removes the advanced terminology or inside jokes, just that he makes the content more accessible by defining basic terms and ideas-even just in pop-ups! I don't think that's dumbing it down at all.

So true about the social aspect of poker. I'm a winning player at low stakes (never had a losing year since I started keeping track in 2009) but I'll never be a pro. I simply enjoy the game and all of its levels and I truly enjoy the wide spectrum of people that play this game. Oh, and btw, I subscribed. Love your humor.

[@209twitch]

Stumbled across this vlog and it made me laugh. Subscribed. Regarding the 88 set hand, I would just bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot and try to get money in. Low stakes live players generally aren’t going to find the bluffs needed, but they’ll find plenty of worse calls, so I wouldn’t slow play here. Good luck and I’ll be watching

[@4betblind]

Thanks for the kind words! Agreed, at these stakes it's almost universally correct to pile money in with your good hands at every opportunity.

7:37 had me bust out laughing 😂😂

[@jimsty7550]

You have a new subscriber in me. Well done, sir. Fantastic content!

[@kxjx]

I don't like that checked set or the check with the 3 spades and a connected board. But I reckon it depends what other hands you are betting the flop with. I am probably only check raising there if I have a hyper loose agressive player I am trying to deal with.

[@rasserfrasser]

This is a great channel, love the pacing and voiceover. It's not FRENETIC! and it's also informative for better or worse as the game goes along which makes it feel more natural. Not like, "This is how you win EVERYTHING!" lol

[@Bjarkus3]

The setof 8s bet 20-25 dls on the flop, if he raises,to 80 you should tank and then raise to 140

[@donaldshotts4429]

I actually like the check on the flop. If the opponent has a flush draw, or TJ or JQ,A9 suited etc, 77 then they'll probably bet and you can check raise small or maybe lead out on the turn if it's not a spade.

[@genekboyer]

The 88 hand, check or bet on the flop is fine. Should be betting the turn big most of the time though, 75%. Your opponent will have lots of Ax

[@grahamdavis8777]

I checked down a set in a tournament last week just like this, and pretty much for similar reasons. Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do. Bet or check, I doubt you would have made any more money in the end. Sometimes, the cards just dont pay.

[@austinjones3093]

Over the years I have developed into a TAG because of videos like this. Let them know you have the lash and show them you will use it to. One thing I have found is when I am aggressive it makes other people passive and often because of the aggression they will do live tells they normally will not do.

[@frustin]

wish we had a poker place like that near me (uk)

[@burkhartlaw1]

As to the 8s hand: I believe that you should bet small (25%) on the flop because he called a big preflop raise so he’ll be unlikely to just fold immediately. It looks like you’re stabbing at it. As to the turn I would have bet here if I didn’t bet flop because he’s likely to have an ace given the preflop action. I am firmly against slow play as it has cost me a lot of money.

[@Acewingman11]

7:00 flop check fine, turn check bad, river check worse.

[@dennissvitak5475]

Loose aggressive players are my favorite. Insult him a few times, and get him on tilt, then wait for a good hand, and slow play him. Works like a champ.

[@tomcat9727]

I would have bet atleast once on that pocket 88. I usually go for small cbets (like 1/3 of a pot), so thats what I would have done. I would have probably bet the turn as well, because the A is more likely in my opponents range. Idk if it is right or wrong though. 7 on river is not very good card for you, because it completes TJ straight and also some other straights that might have been in your opponents range, so I would just check and pray he wont lead, cuz that would likely indicate something strong.

[@vukgovedarica5616]

Love the content, pleaee make more!

[@catdaddy2643]

The ACE of ♠️ Spades

[@cwolf208]

On the 88, I personally would have lead out for 1/2ish pot trying to buy the hand like I'm an Ace high/overpair. If he's as aggressive as you think, he might think he can bully you out and you're more likely to get a raise/continuation on the turn. Depending on my image the 1/2 might move a bit up or down. If they've seen me small cbet on iffy boards and take it down, I probably do the same thing here as I did before. HOWEVER, I fully concede that based on your dialog in the videos I've seen that you're a better player than I am so ehh, I might be mistaken. I'm a fan of trying to build a pot early there. I think the flush draw has a decent chance of semi-bluff raising you on the flop and you can call or 3 bet. That turn card basically ends the hand though. EDIT: The JT 4 to a straight board is a clear call unless one of those guys is a rock.

[@samj45345]

7:23 why would you check right before the showdown? It was clear his hand was worse since he checked twice already when the pot small so you might as well have raised it at that point. I just learned the rules of poker a few days ago so am i wrong?

7:42 Against the I'm sick of your s*** range, I actually have reasonable equity 🤣

[@FriBinCringe]

Can someone explain what he means at 4:25 “considering my opponent was in the Big Blind, there’s going to be a lot of flushes in his range.” This sounds as if your position at the table has an effect on the suits you will be dealt, which doesn’t make sense (i’m assuming this isn’t what he means).

[@thats70sraptor30]

Because the big blind is forced to bet regardless, often times people will play with a wider variety of hands. Suited hands are favorable for "just in case" flushes, so something like 97 spades, which might normally be folded in another position, could still actually be in play for someone in the blinds.

[@rtconnelly]

6:41 I would bet there bc checking into that forth street signals a strong hand. I haven't seen his cards but why not signal the ace if he called a three bet preflop? Ax or pocket pairs would play the same way as him and he's about 50% to have a flush draw.

[@leovanlierop4580]

14:34 He probably had ace king at the time. My guess.

[@gagehorton6110]

Nice shoutout to Brad lol

[@Baekstrom]

The set of eights hand is tricky. Being out of position makes it even harder. I guess you could argue that it is a sin to flop a set and then not build a big pot, but with your read and the way the board ran out, I think I'll accept your reasoning for your decisions. It's been many years since I played, so I'm more than a bit rusty, so maybe don't put too much stock into my opinion.

[@CruceEntertainment]

7:40, you might as well at least C bet the turn. He probably would have folded, and as you see, he was scared off by the Ace anyway, and a bit scared of you too.

[@kineahora8736]

Yeah the 88 middle set hand was awful. Just make a small c-bet and hope to get raised.
