Bart, I'm pretty lurky here. But I've watched every video of yours for the last couple years. I changed from live to online around Covid, but even though I haven't been in a live game in a few years now, I've still learned so much about this game from you and this channel. Hand reading, thinking thru a hand, hearing all the different perspectives of callers, your input, I've gotten alot from this channel. This is just a note of thanks. I appreciate what you offer to us all, and CLP is the best Poker strategy Podcast I've found. Thank you Bart, Blessings to you and your family 🙏

[@NefariousMinds]

I love this breakdown of small stakes much more than the call-ins!! Keep it coming please!!!

[@tiki4rafiki390]

This video was awesome, so fun to get some insight into the way you think about multi-way action. Would love some more of this! Thanks Bart.

[@alloutofnothingatall]

Bart, for the AA vs JJ hand where you advocate a super small bet so you can rep some bluffs, what kind of bluffs are betting 125 on the flop and then 75 on the turn?

[@wirmerflagge999]

Bart, could you do a survey of "When Duces Won" and analyze a number of hands and how they are played for the win and how and why they were a winner in each case - position, pot size, etc ... factors which affect these outcomes? I personally find myself playing 2s like I would Aces, very aggressive in order to chase people away from the river, etc... while hoping to see quads eventually. It is never a very "zen" hand. And i've only won with Duces when I do flip a set or quads. There must be a better way of playing 2s and 3s for that matter.

Bart your insight is priceless. Thanks for this content.

[@jongaston1254]

I like your openness in your thought processes

[@LIONTAMER3D]

Because the stakes are smaller, the importance of not missing value bets/raises is more significant; paramount.

[@TTBSQUAD]

Hey brother great info and love watching this kind of stuff but that being said one small criticism here. Will you change your mouse head to be either a dif color or maybe bigger because when you are pointing at people and saying this guy I have to rewind and try and track that thing and it ain’t easy

[@mangohavoc6428]

Eyyy, this is where I’m cutting my teeth. Only like 15 min in so far but Bart you are nailing the commentary. Bunch of 🐠 🐟 🎣 🙃

[@newstandardaccount]

I really enjoyed this video - it's like the call-in show but without the callers

[@nat2r]

Its funny, when I was learning to play I went to a web forum and was talking about how I believed that A high flops were often more dangerous than others given that weak aces made up such a huge part of the opponents range in 1/2. I basically got laughed at by the community there because they saw that I was seeing monsters under the bed, so-to-speak. Really funny to hear it so matter of fact in a training.

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

People really underestimate just how often low-stakes fish would rather flat all non-broadway Ax, than even just considering a 3Bet.

[@alanrice7410]

I was playing poker relatively tight but when I got a flush draw, I bet 1/2 the pot on the flop, 1/2 the pot on the turn, and when I drew a blank on the river, I put in an oversized bet and lost the hand showing I was capable of bluffing. I got pocket 5’s pre-flop, then on the flop, I got a set of 5’s with a board of A58. I bet 150% of the pot figuring it will look I don’t want to get called and expecting an Ace hand to call me. My thought was that I can make it look like I am bluffing while simultaneously building the size of the pot. That move failed and my opponent laid down A10. Why did my attempt to represent a bluff fail against an opponent with top pair and medium kicker?

[@dustyatherton3430]

Thanks for that Bart.

[@nalanwaters3365]

Intro: "This level is equivalent to what most of you guys play at". Why am I feeling attacked here lol. But in all seriousness great video Bart, thank you so much!

[@tjtinaj83]

The 7,8s hand that was opened I thought was ok to do. Raising there with that hand allows you to have a polarised range for raising. The call after the re-raise was questionable but realistically perhaps there is a percentage where you should call after an open raise.

[@FuzzypupPoker]

Florida is a rake now $6 + $1 or +$2..... the recs loooove the high hand promos. The high hand doesn't impact a good player's game as you hit it to compensate for the take. rake vs drop is a huge difference. Assuming you play just ~25% of your hands per hour at a live 8 or 9 handed game and win ~1/3rd of your hands that's a brutal $13 to $18 an hour stripped from your winrate assuming $200 stacks. If the table is short the game is unbeatable with a drop.

[@ncochran01]

In the first hand, the BB folded and you said he was getting 4 to 1. What do you mean 4 to 1? On what? How? Trying to better understand all of the terms. I'm a very novice player and I call based on feeling, not the hands being played.

[@madsam52]

Bart, I think you would be shocked on how bad the play is at 1-2 at Commerce

[@CastroX1]

The 1-2 at commerce is not even worth it even the 3-5 is shit.

[@seanmac3381]

@@CastroX1 I know you're right, but I go there a lot in the morning and getting on any game is near impossible. The 1-2 and 2-3 sometimes are the only options. I just play recreational for a hobby so I don't sweat it. The play at those levels is beyond comprehension compared to Bart's analysis of a reasonable hold em game.

[@CastroX1]

@seanmac3381 1-2 and 2-3 people just end up shoving a draw and it's insane.

[@DatAceTho]

23:00 combinations, sure, but hands like A8 to AT just went from a river check back to a river bet. So, facing a bet I think Ryan is up against an A *more* after the ace pairs.

[@badkoolaid22]

A higher percentage of possible Ax betting is not the same as seeing a bet more often

[@DatAceTho]

@@badkoolaid22 I'm not quite following you

[@badkoolaid22]

@@DatAceTho putting another A on the board removes about 33% of all possible A-x combinations. If you weigh more towards suited A-x, it removes even more than that So with 33% less A-x out there, you need the remaining A-x to bet 50% more often than before in order to see the same frequency of betting from A-x on the river. Given the action, that number seems hard to get to. Many Aces with a pair or straight draw bet that flop, so you're really only talking about A-2, -3, -10, as I feel like you'd see a good amount of C-bets from A-J+
