Heads Up No Limit Hold Em Video Package

Kevin Krab42 on PokerStars and Full Tilt) Rabichow has built a complete heads up no limit cash game poker video package. This collection of videos totals over 3 hours and 45 minutes and is structured to help beginner and intermediate level players looking to jump into hu cash or improve their existing play. Players learn how to play hands without any reads on their opponents, how to make adjustments starting with little information and how to play hands in specific situations against the types of opponents you are most likely to face at the tables. Both preflop and postflop analysis is covered in depth, from basic fundamentals to more advanced and deeper strategy.

Below, Kevin provides a description of each part of the series including samples of several videos.

Video 1
This is an introduction of what to expect from the series. I discuss the way the lobby structure impacts HUNL games and the long term advantages to those who battle regs. I also introduce the three common player profiles that I recommend using to plan adjustments to our opponents.
Video 2
In this video I present my readless approach to preflop play. Then I review some of the ways you may go about assigning a player profile to your opponent. After fitting that profile, I discuss how to make preflop adjustments both IP and OOP. 
Video 3
This video moves into an advanced discussion of preflop play. I describe how to build the highest EV 3betting range possible against various opponents. I then begin transitioning into the postflop portion of the series by advocating getting our range to late streets as often as possible.
Video 4
I hold a very in depth discussion about the purposes of cbetting (and betting in general) throughout this video. I explain why the traditional breakdown of bets as value/bluff is necessary but at times insufficient.
Video 5

Following up a discussion of why to bet, I use this video to break down a variety of spots where we should want to check. An analysis of different board textures helps us break down when to bluff multiple streets, when to trap and a few other adjustments. Lastly I look at some popular misconceptions about good or bad bluff cards.
Video 6
In the final presentation video I break down the concept of randomization by equity. Helped by a few hand examples I approach playing 3bet pots in detail and close the video with some general advice.
Video 7 (Live Video 1)


The first of three parts in a 2-tabling match against a 100nl reg on Stars. I discuss the merits of floating when we don't expect to get barrelled often, as well as floating our strong draws instead of raising to get it in. We analyse bet sizing in detail when our opponent shows that he uses a number of sizes in different spots. Near the end of the video we begin to notice that villain isn't folding to cbets and begin discussing our adjustments.



Video 8 (Live Video 2)
In the 2nd part of our match we run into a lot of spots where it becomes relevant that villain isn't folding to our cbets. Finding a good spot to overbet leads to a breakdown of what circumstances I'm looking for to make an overbet bluff or value bet. When I find a second good spot to overbet I also discuss my feelings on levelling wars. Near the end of this part villain opens up a donkbetting game and I explain my plans to exploit it.
Video 9 (Live Video 3)
In this final video our opponents aggression seems to have tapered off and I point out some spots where I failed to properly adjust. I begin to notice some timing tells and take advantage of the information they give off. Near the end of the match we have to fold a fairly strong hand to an underbet and I note how we can catch our opponent if he's bluffing this spot.

Nice video pack

Submitted by LA_Team on February 1, 2013 - 06:31.

Nice video pack, I really liked it and I will probably purchase the advanced class.

Only complaint: the audio quality of the last two videos makes 'em not always easy to understand for a non-native english speaker like me, but maybe it's just my problem...btw you use A LOT of "like"! :)

I really like how the series

Submitted by vzhong on December 18, 2012 - 22:23.

I really like how the series are structured and Barewire present the theory behind the practice very well.

It's very instructional and  helpful for someone from HUSNG background like me.

I only play husngs

 

however am pretty in-experienced at NLHE (long time limit player) and have only played 6maxnlhe micros in the past

so my question is do you think i will find value in this pack even though I'm just playing hyperturbos HU? I'm especially interested in improving my post flop game.

 

Look forward to anyones opinon on the above

I wrote this on youtube as well, but just in case you didn't see it:

 

The only information not covered in my pack that would help your hyperturbo game is preflop shoving math. Everything relevant to postflop decision making and building your ranges is discussed in detail. I will warn you that there won't be any examples in the videos that specifically address sub 25bb play. That said, the theory discussed throughout the series is meant to improve your thought process and exploitative approach, which will improve your game in all HUNL formats.

how do you get so much volume

Submitted by tomo66 on October 9, 2012 - 18:14.

how do you get so much volume in these days? do u manage to find regs who will play?

Barewire's picture

Yeah, I'm currently playing

Submitted by Barewire on October 10, 2012 - 09:28.

Yeah, I'm currently playing on 4 networks and at one point was playing 5-6, and I'm always looking for regs to play. I'm sure at least 2/3 of my volume in the last several months is against regs, there's just no way to put in more than like 15k hands in a month against fish at mid stakes and higher even playing all the major networks. On the networks with multiple skins it helps to change screen names occasionally if they allow it, and the networks that are KoTH are much easier to find matches on.

Hey Barewire:   With so many

Hey Barewire:

 

With so many cash training sites out there with tons and tons of HU videos, can you expand a bit on why this series is different (other than being by you!) from what's out there?

That's a somewhat tough

Submitted by Barewire on October 8, 2012 - 14:23.

That's a somewhat tough question because I haven't watched any of the mainstream training sites in a few years, but I'll give it a shot. Basically I stopped watching the content on other sites because HUNL videos were rare and usually from old school coaches who don't play the games today. No doubt guys like Phil Galfond were making high quality content if they put out a 5/10 NL series because he's incredibly smart, but for the most part he'll be introducing interesting theory and fail to deliver accurate reads from today's games. So I realized that if I wanted to improve beyond the theory I had to discuss with the regs of today, none of whom were working for any training sites I'm familiar with. So I like to think that I bring a current perspective in this series because I'm still playing and winning in today's HUNL games.

The other big thing that I did in this series that I don't see enough on other sites is the presentation section. Watching regs hand pick some cool live sessions at mid and high stakes is fun for entertainment value, but it's not as instructional as this series will be because it doesn't explicily lay out the theory behind the practice. I wanted this series to be more like aejones' audio book (which was originally sold for $5,000!) in that it's covering all the basics of proper cash game play and it's presented in a way that you can work alongside it. I think that if you're just getting started in HUNL, or even if you're a fairly proficient heads up player who needs a refresher course, watching 1-2 of my videos per week (in order) while working on your game is going to yield a big improvement. The other training sites to my knowledge don't have a "course" that is this comprehensive.
