Is 50NL SOFTER than 10NL?! Life After the Challenge Begins! | Top 10 Poker Hands Ep. 70

[@drayvinwilliams2389]

Hearing you explain your thought process on exploitative sizings/when to check to allow bluffs, etc. is really nice for seeing how much you have improved at the game!

[@eastyyy22]

Thanks a lot mate! Feel I've regressed a bit but this was when I was studying regularly and feeling good.

[@SamiElHyadi]

I had a stretch where I didn't stack a single individual for 3k hands playing 5nl fastfold on ignition. Not a single all in preflop unless it was AA or KK. 25nl fastfold is a night and day difference.

[@eastyyy22]

Sometimes it goes that way lad!

[@nicolozaniolobedankt]

3 k hands 😂 you guys are so funny wait till the next downswing and see how different your play is from NL10. The stakes are not the problem if you can’t handle the variance.

[@SamiElHyadi]

@@nicolozaniolobedankt I grinded 5nl with 25bb/100 over 50k hands before moving up to 25nl. My winrate did not change significantly after I moved up. I now play 50nl fastfold comfortably. It's not alot of money, but I am proud of every big blind.

[@nicolozaniolobedankt]

@@SamiElHyadi lol show me that graph on Instagram! 50k hands is 5/6 days playing but for you and this pro guy it’s months

[@mrg555]

Omg this 50NL pool ... And some people say poker is dead 😆😆

[@Upbeatpkr]

Juicyyy #1 spot against Hildreth. Nice little sweat too.

[@eastyyy22]

People in the comments telling me to fold to Hildreth 😅

[@partlett123]

Happy Sunday! The higher the BB the softer the field! 500NL here we come.

[@eastyyy22]

Happy Sunday lad!

[@bryonwhaley2981]

Would the AQs be better as a jam pre with all the dead money or would it be better if it was AQo? Feel like I've seen this spot and AQ prints ev in that spot but I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️

[@eastyyy22]

I thought about it and I think it's super reasonable, but had BB tagged as a nit so didn't think he would have 4b folds or 4b calls with worse. That's why assumptions are dangerous!

[@bryonwhaley2981]

Didn't see the tag. Either way thank you for the content. You seem happier at 50nl. Forget that bankroll challenge bs

[@Realnamenogimmicksdude]

Whoop whoop

[@Hildreth1101]

The Lord taketh away, and the Lord giveth.

[@TheProgaddict]

The AQs hand is for me a clear fold on the flop, but I play SNG for a living, so what do I know about cash game 😅? The fact that both vilains had what they had is just hilarious...

[@eastyyy22]

I learnt to stop folding a while ago lad

[@anthonycarreira8045]

The KJ hand seems like a fold vs population at 50NL, this ain’t GTO wiz ranges haha. The AKo vs ATo allin pre was just brutal to watch

[@eastyyy22]

Vs this guy I should call even more often than gto wiz lad.

[@董粉-d3m]

ggs!

[@liveslowlivesimple]

idk what your goal in poker is but if you wanna maximize profits id suggest trying regular tables. the ratio of fish is so much higher than zoom

[@eastyyy22]

I rarely play off stream and regular tables are just not viable for streaming

[@isaacpalmer6249]

anyone else feeling nostalgic for and somewhat robbed of the blowup we'd had seen with the AT > AK hand if this was the Challenge? Fair play tho mate and wp!

[@eastyyy22]

The challenge makes me feel things I've never felt before

[@tqetgdgtydsgfas5892]

'Obviously blocking JT is good' like villain is not betting it OTT for a high frequency. It doesn't really matter at all

[@FefeLeVrai]

Am I supposed to see a difference between 50NL and 10NL? Because I really don't see a single one, pool is just as purple. So why do you like 50NL better? Maybe fewer bumhunts because they don't want to stick in 50 bucks with 72o? Is that why you're calmer?

[@eastyyy22]

Because if I lose, I'm not further constrained to playing 10nl until I've navigated the minefield for long enough to make $1000 without rakeback with all my results laid bare to a mostly vindictice audience 😅. Basically when it's not the challenge it's just about improving and that's calming.

[@bjaireid1]

Next time work in 1 rant for the boys!!

[@sillychinas]

Fish are fish no matter the stakes. The better players get better at higher stakes, but that’s all.

[@mrcv1999]

on that KJ hand i was fucking screamig at the computer what the fuck was running through ur head to call such a punt with that shit on such a board...

[@eastyyy22]

I mean if you saw the redline of the guy it's against you would understand. He is a member of my Discord and probably the single biggest blaster I've ever seen. My call is about right at the frequencies I chose, and I'd like to call quite a bit more often than theory against him.

[@Hildreth1101]

This is one of my main value hands in this spot, aside from low freq AQ Turn Xs and AA. I'd probably pure bet everything above that in my value range OTT, as for my bluffs I will bluff JJs/TTs close to pure when I don't bluff them OTT, I will overbluff OTR with all my missed SC junk, 54s is pure betting Turn but there is 65, 76, 87, 98, T9s so I probably have about 30 combos of bluffs vs likely 10-15 value so it's actually not a bad call at all, though lot of my bluffs will inevitable have Jx in them but good thing about Jd is I would in reality bluff Jx a lot OTT anyway so in the B-X-B line I will be overbluffing in general. However vs Nick I will probably take some of the worst bluffs and give them up knowing he is likely going to call closer to balanced than most the pool that'd fold 90% of their Range OTR but in reality I don't think I could help myself, so chances are I might split my Range and use a 70% river sizing with some of the air and value bet AA + some Ax. Most of Nick's X range is Kx and Qx + some Ax, so I think my own Ax can potentially value bet with the right removal vs a capped range. But TL:DR this isn't really a punt call, it's really close or winning depending on what I actually do.

I think micros are too sick people call with anything and so get lot of bad beats. At 50nl people don’t wanna gamble as much . Watched you for a while you a good player but get unlucky a lot

[@eastyyy22]

thanks mate!
