analyzing longples coaching

feel free to add anything if i missed something about this hand, longple.

also just some advice for people getting longple's coaching, or anyones coaching. I think a very important part of being a student is not to go overboard with what you are taught. I mean this hand example is a very good play but it's important to remember to only do it in the spots where it is profitable. Sometimes when im experimenting and learning new stuff i start doing it too much and often in the wrong spots. So yeah, just keep the mindset of simple logic and print moniez.

isn't a big part apart from getting a raise by a straight this inducing bluff raises as you basically represent a thin value bet that should fold a lot to raise?

A lot of people will just turn a ton of made hand stuff into a bluff instead of calling here

yeah, i believe i put that in my post. the part where i say they could be turning top pairs into bluffs

I miss online poker T.T I want to play some 200nl in my undies and get coached.

I say we all chip in and throw longple some money to make more videos :-))))))

Honestly longple is a much better player than I could ever hope to be and probably is a better teacher than me idk but I feel like the bulk of the concepts you described were in like sklansky's nlhe:tp or some other basic book somewhere

All I'm saying is I'm sure you could've used a better example . Grats on getting longple's coaching

so you're saying we should base our betsize on our opponent's range in a given situation? o_O O: :O =O

this is almost true, people are to bad even at highstakes to catch up because they cant think on their own, "on the fly"

every1 plays the same way and knows the standard stuff theyve seen in every DC CR video etcetc, there is very few regs i feel the need to balance fully against.

exploiting and targetting his range instead of always betting 2/3 pot in 100% of situations will make them go ?wtf and then make a misstake cuz they dont know how to play good against stuff they havent seen before from a thinking player

but u cant go overboard obviously, but for example in this hand, i just wanted to bet a sizing and missreprecent my actual hand to what my range usually looks like coming to this river, im gonna have an overpair alot

and betting this size makes him valueraise all the hand that woulda called a biggerraise, like 2pairs and sets, and hes gonna raise/call a straight sometimes cuz hes getting such a good price and he dosnt understand whats happening

and hes gonna be more inclined to sometimes call or make his 1pair hands into a bluff, that probably would have folded to a bigger bet

but the mainpoint is that im not losing any value from his valuerange, but im gaining value sometimes from his weaker part by making him bluffraise or call cuz of the good price and hope i have some random bluff or what ever, cuz i do alot of wierdsizings im pretty sure he could talk himself into making a 2nd pair call here thinking im capable of bluffing cuz i do these wierd bluffs alot with like low straightdraws and stuff if there is a flushdraw on the board, just to fold out higher flusdraws/straightdraws if i dont think he will fold a pair anyways, im betting 1/6 pot, for example

This little gem deserves a strategy thread of it's own, not just blog entry with comments.
