Here are the comments I got. You guys did awesome at finding the leaks. I appreciate both the fact that I got complements on my good play, and the fact that the problems I had were pretty easy for others to spot out, meaning I had some apparant leaks that are now hopefully gone.

In the video TStone got, there were also some questions I had asked him in a notepad, so don't get confused if he answers something that you can't find anywhere. Overall, I think I learned a lot from this, and I highly recommend it to everyone. TStone did a great job, and although I had a hard time forking over the money, it was well worth the investment.

Here are his comments:


SB 52/8/1 openraises you call in the BB with QT flop is 8xx, he bets you raise

-i love 3betting these hands preflop. you have a strong hand and would rather control the tempo then be put in spots like this. after youve just called preflop i think you should fold this flop. raising is better than calling however. this isnt an easy situation however, i spoke with some good players and i heard different thoughts on this. also realize that at 5/10 the rake in this hand lessens your pot odds and raising or calling is just bleeding money. if you raise however you should check the turn and take the free card.

-i like the river call in the KJ hand. raising might be considered expert to eliminate the guy representing an overpair, but he is very aggressive for his stats along with very loose. its quite possible you have him beat but if he has a larger pair than yours hes probably calling 2 anyway.

-3bet the KQo preflop yes. i also bet the KQ on that rag board because this game is very passive youll see a river card for free.

-i wouldnt bet the KKJ flop if sb was out definitely not. that board is terrible for you with 2 limpers. if they are tight definitely no. stealing pots is overrated.

-you want the tag behind you. its better that way. you want the limpers in front of you so you can isolate them and you want the tags behind you so they dont raise in front of you forcing you to fold otherwise profitable hands.

you raise AQo from the SB, flop is J24, you bet and get a couple callers. turn is a 5. you bet river is a king you check call.

-bet the AQ flop, bet the turn as well. you have a gutshot and need to see the river. the game is passive. i also checkcall this river because the guy is a total idiot.

you raise some limpers with 99 flop is Jxx you bet they call, turn is a blank you bet they call river is an ace

-in the 99 hand there is no reason to value bet this river. betting accomplishes nothing and worse pairs will fold now that the ace hit.

CO limper, SB completes you check in the BB with T8, flop is 963r.

-after the sb checks i would definitely bet this. you have alot of pot equity and this is a good steal flop.

-i like stealing J5s on the button against a 27/11/1.3 BB.

you raise 44 in the HJ with a 48/12/.6 in the BB

-dont raise this there is really no value in such weak hands especially since you cant take it down preflop. i also dont like betting the TJQ flop because its almost impossible you get a fold out of him and almost all players will bet the river after youved checked the turn. you cant realize your equity.

-in the hand with 84o and the SB completse and you check, if the SB checks the flop i will often take a stab at it if its not very coordinated. i think it depends on my image though. if ive been caught stealing some pots i wont bet it, but if im showing strong hands i will.

3 very loose players limp in front of you and you limp on the button with JTo.

-I like this limp. they are so loose and so bad your hand has alot of vlaue.

loose SB completes, you check in the BB with J3s

-i love raising these hands becuase it generates alot of folding equity for you. it also keeps your opponents actions pure. he wont be able to bet flops when hes missed because youve raised preflop. it takes away alot of his folding equity and it builds a pot in position against a terrible player which usually leads to good things.

51/9 limps on the button, you fold A3o in the SB

-complete with this. he raises enough preflop that he is raising Ax hands. you have the only ace at the table right now and there is definitely no reason to be folding.

UTG limps and you have K9o in the HJ

-fold this. K9o is a bad hand. you were talking about openraising this if the UTG player folds. K9o is not a hand you want to be stealing with from the HJ. you have tags behind you who are going to 3bet you alot and you have a very loose player in the BB. you have no folding equity, a bad hand and alot of risk.

47/11/.5 opens on the button, SB 51/9 calls you fold A6o in the BB

-definitely call this. your hand is huge in this situation. defend your blinds more.

against a 59/9 openlimping button i call with 87o. much worse than that and i fold.

you openraise J6s from the button BB a 27/11/1.3 calls. flop is AKK you bet he calls, turn is a Q you bet

-after he calls the flop you need to give up on this hand regardless of what hits the turn. its just far too likely youre beat. once the queen falls you definitely must must check this. the queen completes any gutshot draws and he is certainly not folding. after the river hits its another king and it looked like you were going to bet it. give up man hes got you beat.

sb completes you check in the bb with 68o flop is J9x he checks you bet

-yes bet this. you have a gutshot and no high card strength. pick it up.

you openraise Q9o in CO BB (50/8) calls. flop is 9xx he bets you call, turn is x he bets you raise

-i like waiting for the turn to raise in this hand as well. its a tough spot tho because your hand is vulnerable to overcards. he might checkcall alot of turns is what i mean. still though i think your hand is strong enough to wait. if its any weaker i wouldnt.

-you played the TT hand well. definitely raise that flop. dont wait for the turn. no reason to value bet the river with a diamond and king hitting.

UTG 43/17/2 limps, you fold 9Ts in the HJ

-definitely play this. 9Ts is a monster at this loose table. i would raise it if the BB was tighter but since he is 57vpip i limp it.

you fold in the BB with 46o getting 9:1

-i dont call this. thats a bad hand

-in the 23o hand i wouldnt checkcall that under any means

-easy fold with the QTo facing a CO steal

HJ 35/15/1.6 open raises, BT 52/10 calls, youre in BB with ATs and 3bet

-i like the 3bet. you have alot of preflop equity with the terrible player coldcalling

-dont raise sb completors with hands as bad as J5o unless you have a good reason to.

-fold 57o in the SB facing a tag BB, thats a bad hand especially in a 2/5 structure.

4 limpers to you in the BB and you raise 77

-this is a really close situation and i spoke with some very good posters about this. there was alot of debate but i think raising is correct. we did an equity calculation and it turns out that raising in this situation generates a .25SB profit for us. thats huge. nice raise imo. this would make a great hush thread.

2 limpers you raise AJs from SB bb folds limpers call. flop is Qxx 2 hearts you bet and get 1 caller

-i like following through again the turn if you miss against this 1 caller. if you werent going to follow through on the turn against 1 player you shouldnt have bet the flop.

-in the J3 hand i would normally slow play this but the SB is so aggressive (47/20/2 after 100) that he might play back at you hoping youre stealing. still though i would call and raise turn.
