iSTRONG's Tutorial Video #2: 50NL 6-max

[iSTRONG]

Since I received quite a bit of positive feedback from my first video I decided to make another one.
It's 35 mins long and weights about 45MB.
It's geared towards beginners; pretty standard poker albeit with a slight LAG twist.
I am still a learning player so don't take my word as gospel , be critical and ask questions.
You can view the video here.

Please sir may i have some more!


Q
on the hand you say players play too loosely in the blinds
you complete in the sb with Ad6d.
you mean too loosely after a raise, no?

Axs is a speculative hand, so it's ok to complete that especially when there is more than one limper. Completing with hands like A8o in a multiway pot is not a good idea.

edit: No, I didn' watch the video.

i'd steal more preflop against limpers and raisers.

yes that's right. I meant calling raises with speculative hands out of position.

[derosnec]

52o hand on the button with one limper. I raise.

LOL. you're even more of a maniac than myself.

[derosnec]

Not a maniac, just a pf steal in position against someone showing weakness (ok, maybe it is somewhat maniacal)

The AJs hand. You checked a great flop (223, I think) and then raised a turn bet when the Q came. I was puzzled by this play because, aside from the lack of a cbet on that flop, you raised the turn to the same guy that called your push earlier with 88 (you had AA). Is your reasoning here (for waiting for turn to raise) that he likely has a middle pocket pair (and no draws on the board) and would call a c-bet (since he would have an overpair on flop) but would fold if a broadway card shows up (whereas in 88 hand there wasnt any broadways)?

Just watched the first one, and can I say, I HATE ultimate bet's interface. I will never play there.

That was my exact thinking.
