    Thanks for the warm welcome! I’ll be happy to make videos that are within my competence and that there’s demand for. We’ll see what that turns out to be.

    Great work Nate. Looking forward to the rest of the series. It’s totally different to anything I’ve seen before and although I only ever play online I’m sure this can help my game.

    664ssx Ks vs. guy from NY you felt like you would extract value. You bet 600, cr flop 1600. Turn you bet 3k with QJss. River you bet 5425 I believe. He said he called with AK. I can see AKo where he picks up the nut flush draw on the turn. He has very few flushes with the KQJ removed. The flush draw also removes a lot of the 6 combos since he can’t have A6s-J6s. 2 combos of A6d, A6c..maybe 76d, 76c..but I tend to believe him. He’s folding 8s by the river. So yeah 3 combos AsKc, AsKd, AsKh

    JMR: Thanks for your note. I find that online play helps me play better live in that it causes me to really drill my standard ranges and think through spots against tougher players. I also find that live play helps me online just because there’s so much more interpersonal information and because there’s a lot of time to think about every hand; it helps exercise muscles that are harder to exercise online but very useful there. So I think you’re right that it can help your game.

    maybe its only me but i find this 1-seat, 3-seat thing really confusing and i get lost often while listening. Why are you not just using general poker terms like. UTG opens, UTG1 folds ,CO was sitting out, i am in the BB and call? that makes it much easier to know positions

  6. Nate

    Thanks very much for the feedback. The reason is that I wanted to use consistent names for the players so that it would be easy to understand how reads from one hand affect how I should play another hand. The 8-seat is the 8-seat throughout the day, whereas UTG changes hand to hand.

    Of course, that’s just an explanation, and not a proof that the choice I made was a good one! I imagine it would be useful if I made the positions more explicit more often.

    Glad to see you here Nate! I heard you mention this series on the Thinking Poker podcast and went looking for it right away! I love playing live so I am really enjoying reliving this with you.
    – I also saw the flush draw on the flop so I guess our minds flip things around equally
    – I agree that position notations would really help but I like the seats as names too.
    – Have you tried entering the hands in to a replayer to make it more interactive? I know some tools will let you build hands from live info so you don’t have to “program” a history.

    Looking forward to the rest!

    seems to make sense.
    maybe just make it a must to say always who is the button even if the guy is not involved in the hand.
    great series otherwise

    Thanks, MovieFX!

    I’ll try to be more explicit about positions; I imagine that people generally would have an easier time following the series.

    I looked around for replayers, but couldn’t find one that has a license that permits me to use it commercially in a context like this. I’d be grateful for any recommendations you have here.

    Hand #10…i’d be curious what your calling range from the big blind would be against the fish. i realize AT is not a great hand and you’d rather have the connecting hands but against someone you are “looking to play pots with” i would think that range would be wide enough to include AT

  11. Nate

    Thanks for the question, Tazzjazz. I folded largely because he made it 350. When a player who varies his preflop raise sizing uses the larger size, AT is a good bet to be in bad shape. Moreover, I would be out of position. I was looking to play pots with the 8-seat largely because he gave away too much information; sometimes that means he will give away information that will cause me to fold hands I would otherwise play.
