  1. Great insight about stack size and hand play in the low limits. Cap restrictions suck, and are basically a scam by the casino. The cap turns any game into a short stack grind to start, and only games with big stacks in-play are worth joining. My solution is to play one level higher than I'm normally comfortable (meaning 2/5 instead of 1/2 or 2/3), and just grind a short stack to double or triple up, and then split.

  2. He calls his show crush live poker but doesn't know that people don't open to $15 at the Trop 1-2 game.

  3. Funny hand. With a stack to pot ratio of just over two, the only real mistake Hero could make here, was to not get the money in. I would honestly probably just lead, but if checking can give this kind of action, that is cool as well. As long as Hero dont fold, I am happy.

  4. Had almost a similar hand and the flop; 1/3, I was MP2 (KhQc), UGT and UGT 1 limped, I raised to 20 both called everyone else folded. flop came out QhJh4c , with the flop the UTG bets out 125, the radar went up, because one thing i noticed was that the UTG raised most broadways in his hand preflop, saw him do it even with QJ, this hand he did not. The UTG 1, short stack goes all in. I tank for a bit, I definitely would have bet if checked to me the initial raiser, (I think analyzing both my play and my opponents play will make me a better player). I tanked, and came to conclusion he must have set of 4s and UTG1 had either draw or a Q. I verbally went through the process of my reads what they would have and showed my KQ to the table and folded, immediately UTG said it was a good fold. He showed pocket 4s and the UTG 1 had Q10, board blanked out. After the hand I think I got too much respect, every time I raised they folded. Twice I had Rockets and Cowboys and raised standard amount and everyone folded. I took more blinds then before, watching these videos helps a lot! Thank you.

  5. Bart is too nice to guys like this. He just wanted to tell his story and it was pretty obvious early on when Bart was trying to talk through the hand with him but the guy kept saying he wanted to tell him what his thought process was.

  6. LOL. Dude gets it all in good OTF 3 ways, and Bart spends 6 minutes berating him.
