I Turn QUADS in Three-Way ALL IN - Poker Vlog 6

Some footage from my recent session at the Bike in LA.

[@TheSailor69]

Your post analysis is pretty on par with your skill level at 2/3. It takes time to apply those lessons in real time in your next sessions, I still find myself struggling with it from time to time too. So keep it up!

[@pokersam]

Thank you! Truthfully, I think I am similar skill level to the people that play 1/2, but I really don't enjoy my time at those tables and the rake is brutal. I will continue to play 2/3 and 5/5 (if no 2/3 tables are available for long periods of time)...

[@Poker-in-VR]

nice quads! And tough one with the overcards & flush draw. Sooooo many outs! I have to put some time into learning more about equity calculations. Talk more about it please :)

[@pokersam]

I got lucky on that one for sure. I'll do my best to talk more about it, still learning myself XD

[@jaappatel282]

Another banger brother! Keep up the videos :) Almost 500 subs! Early congrats.

[@pokersam]

Yes sirrr we are close. Thanks!

[@austinrudkin]

Love these videos Sam, keep 'em coming!

[@pokersam]

Appreciate that!

[@theejayzeeable]

Day of the week and time would be nice to know. Good vlog.

[@pokersam]

I'll include that from now on in the vlogs, thanks for the feedback.

[@steverey6100]

Crisp video brother keep them coming!

[@pokersam]

Thank you!

[@tasuzone]

Oh boy another Sam vid. :)

[@pokersam]

Yes sir tasuzone glad to see you back!

the KJ hand, I think you should just be x/r all in on the flop. On that flop T42, people really only have sets of 44 or 22, which is 6 combos. On the flop, KJcc is ahead or flipping with most one pair hands. I do really like checking, out of position though. But, I think on the flop, with how short your opponents are, I like a x/r all in. I think you could do this with as thin as AT/KT for value, and all over pairs. A x/r all in really puts all of your opponents one pair hands in a miserable spot, and if they fold any pair, that is a huge result, and if they call, you are likely an equity favorite. Calling K high, out of position is just not a winning call. You should drive your equity here, and either realize all of it or fold, especially with a shallow SPR.

[@MaydayAggro]

What is the max buy-in at 2/3? If you can buy in for more, I'd try to take at least 500, and more if possible. With a "standard raise" of 15 and a stack of 300, you are effectively playing 2/5 with a 60BB stack.

[@pokersam]

@@MaydayAggro at the Bike I think it’s $300, at commerce it’s a lot lower. I find myself essentially playing 2/5 or 5/5 with my opening bets at 2/3 games, need to adjust that for sure.

[@WeissAdvice]

Nice video!

[@pokersam]

Thank you, Weiss. Nice to see you around again.

[@MaydayAggro]

T9o: First I would just fold this hand with so many limpers. If you acted first, you definitely should fold. You don't gain enough EV to make up for the fact that you are likely dominated and unsuited. Second, if there were several limpers, your raise size should be much larger. I do not know how many limpers there were, but your raise size should be "standard" plus 1BB for each limper. Otherwise no one is making a mistake by calling. Against so many opponents, this should be a check on the flop. DEFINITELY take note of this player. 33:You don't have anywhere near the required implied odds to set mine vs a jam and call. You need at least 8 to 1, and you have at best just over 5 to 1 here ((12 + 65 + 65 + 200)/65). Obviously with a hand like 33, you need better than 8 to 1 to address the times you end up having set under set or, in this case, set vs straight. How did you make 600 from this hand with one player all in for 65 and the other all in for 265? ATcc: The flop bet is fine heads up (HU), but I'd just check vs 3 opponents. Cbet of 50 is especially large multiway. You can call a small to medium bet from the BU with 2 overcards and bdsd/bdfd combo. KJcc: Why the 8.3x preflop raise (PFR)? You again do not have the right odds to call the jam. You have 12 outs (any club and any K), meaning you need better than 2.83 pot odds. Calling 155 into a pot of 280 gives you pot odds of 2.8. 54o: Just fold. "Happy I limped when I see the flop" is results oriented.

[@pokersam]

@@MaydayAggro thanks for the analysis on these hands! Definitely take all this advice and use it going forward. I got very lucky on a lot of these hands and need to make sure I don’t play the same way in the future where the luck balances out. I think for the 33 hand I included my bet in the pot, still trying to figure out the best way to show the size of the pot including my bets and not sure if I should be including the $ I put in the pot in the gains or not during the video. I’ll mess around with it.

[@raylewis6117]

I'm new I'm here let's poker.

[@pokersam]

And let’s win!

[@TheNow_Now]

A5 hand you have to play better. A5o is a just a pure fold. If you are going to 3b, 3b A5s. On the turn, the same bet as previous street is basically always weak. I would expect it to be a one pair hand or draw at best. You need to raise the turn 100%, vs that small bet size. since the pot is so big, with so little behind, just jam. If they have AJ, they have AJ. You want to put any flush draws (two of them) or pair+draws in a miserable spot. There are a lot of bad rivers, so you want to realize your equity. The river offsuit 4 is actually one of the best bricks there is. Again, vs a small sizing, you just need to jam. Some weak Ax will call it off, chopping since they play AJ44x. You just can't be scared of AJ/JJ. There are only 9 combos that beat you here. Also, in low stakes, peoples bet size basically always correlates with their hand strength. In fact, I think you can jam basically any Ax here, since I doubt they ever have AJ/AQ/AK, based off their bet sizing.

[@pokersam]

I agree, I played way too scared of AJ. I’m not sure why I keep putting my opponents on specific hands instead of ranges, but learning to change the way I think and make decisions based more on math than feeing. I missed my equity on that hand huge

[@autisticwolf3409]

@@pokersamI keep doing it too. I over play my bluffs, and under play my actual good hands. Means I make less money and lose more. Slow down when you’ve got a hand and think how to extract money instead of playing defensive.

[@pokersam]

@@autisticwolf3409 yep, we have to just keep putting the reps in and reviewing our mistakes. We’ll get there!

[@DwayneRussell-q5i]

The 33 hand when you call OOP. Why are you leading the flop? If he has an overpair and you check, he’s going to bet. If he has J10, KQ, etc, he’s pretty much drawing dead, and you want him to put money in the pot. You want him to turn a pair… you don’t want him to fold when he has nothing.

[@pokersam]

I figured I was already so deep in the pot and he bet so much already he would be inclined to call. But, after review, I think that was a mistake and I should of slowed down and checked to him. Luckily it worked out. Good insight though, thanks!

[@Bender.Business]

Great video! Earned a sub from me 👍

[@pokersam]

Appreciate that Marc!

[@TLJ13]

Just a suggestion... turn down the music especially the snare drum beat is very annoying. Enjoy your vids.

[@pokersam]

Damn I’m sorry I’m still trying to figure out what a good level of volume is and what kind of music to use. I’ll change it up next video and hopefully it’s more mild

[@Bender.Business]

@@pokersam I got a couple more suggestions too. I did some social media and marketing work for a podcast and think you should start making some shorts and maybe start posting that content on other platforms too

[@pokersam]

@@Bender.Business Thanks for the feedback. I have been told by a few people recently about branching out and starting shorts, so it must be a sign. Do you suggest doing like Instagram reels and KZbin shorts? Or more of TikTok stuff?

[@thaarbitor2003]

Yay another pointless poker vlog
