I actually just started watching a few vloggers and the YouTube algorithm spit out more recommendations and I noticed they were in Florida. Maybe not the same casino you’re at though. There’s Lex O and Harry B at Florida.
I’ve also seen Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, Jaman Burton, Mariano, Rampage, and PokerBeast. Haven’t watched tooo much of them, but if you wanted to highlight some that are particularly good where I can learn a lot, or some that are particularly bad that I should avoid, that would be helpful! Or any that I missed!
I've seen some of Lex and I believe he plays in the Miami area, so 3-4 hours away from me. Plus he plays NLHE cash games. I don't really play much NLHE cash games, but he seemed pretty solid. I'm not familiar with Harry B
I watch Brad Owen and find him entertaining, although I feel like his most recent stuff he's trying to force the entertainment in his videos and it comes across as disingenuous a bit for my liking. But seems like a nice and humble guy overall from what I've watched.
Andrew Neme is starting to get into PLO more, which is cool. I have differences of opinions with what his coach is teaching him. I feel it's more relevant to GTO-style online 6-max games rather than full-ring live ones, at least in the games I've experienced. Perhaps where they play it's different?
Rampage seems like a lot of what he does is "well, fuck it, I have bottom pair, I call........oh, got there!"
I don't know that you can learn a ton from Vloggers. Their format is generally more for entertainment, and they're going to cherry-pick situations for that. In live poker you might fold for what seems like 3-4 hours sometimes waiting for good situations, and even then may not come out on top. I do respect Brad Owen that he's shared a lot of his losing sessions too.
I enjoy watching Boski for tournament action, his monotone voice has grown on me. Ryan DePaulo is always entertaining in his Vlogs as well, but also mostly tournament focused.
There isn't a ton of PLO content out there. There is a new kid that's been vlogging lately (DonkFishPoker), he has a pretty awful/boring voice to listen to, and his style is a bit TOO tight in my opinion. He plays 5/5 PLO with buyins from $200-1K (he always seems to buyin for $300 and try to spin it up and get out). He tends to fold some hands I might play, and only call in spots where his stack is so small in relation to the action that he should be getting it in and hoping to get it headsup with some dead money (some double suited connected style hands, etc). But I do watch him regularly and he's gaining some traction.
Seems like you either pot, limp/call or fold. What situations (except riverbets) don't you pot if you're the aggressor?
If you're asking about post-flop play, I rarely make cute bets, generally if I am betting it's full pot. I'm also rarely the aggressor preflop, as I want to focus on pot-control so that my hands with decent equity can continue post-flop and not get pushed out because the pot is bloated. Likewise, the more players in the pot, the harder it is for the overly-aggressive bluffers to utilize that tool since facing 5+ opponents they'll be hard-pressed to run a successful bluff.
As far as not betting if you've been the aggressor, it comes down to board textures and hand ranges. Does the board favor my range or my opponents, given the action up to this point?
If someone raises preflop and the board comes
it's going to usually favor the range of the callers rather than the player who raised (since usually those raises are going to be AAxx, KKxx or Broadway suited cards like AKJT, AQQT, etc) So in that case, the raiser facing multiple opponents shouldn't be betting a flop of that texture (although some still do, and of course if they play tricky and happened to raise with a hand that hit that board, they may get paid off if people put them on Aces or broadway holdings)
