I've had a few requests for the $2 level games lately.  This should cover the $1-2 level.

I'll stress that we don't recommend playing these to many players, as the rake is 10% compared to 5% at $5 and higher levels.  However, for some very small bankrolls it makes sense to play these rather than play on a super short roll in the $5s.

next step is free money game lololol come on guys it s not poker nomore lol 

C'mon, users request videos, we provide them.  There will be another video posted tomorrow of higher stakes games and we both know there's something like 200 videos on here already, probably over half of them at $50s or higher.  Patience and understanding!

sorry just kidding ...

Good beginner video Fydor.

New users can definitely use your thought process.

How do I get a HUSNG skin? much better than FTPs.

Just made this video upon the many requests we recieved...hope it can help all the smaller-stake guys who are using BR management in attempts to make it through the lvls. Good Luck!!

Yeah ure table theme is very cool, where do u have it since it isnt included in the tools section?:)

OK video, with good discussion about assumptions against low stakes players followed by adjusting to this particular player. And I've heard advice of bet-folding the river a few times now (recall your T2 hand on 77T8J three flush), but it's not yet in my arsenal, so the more I hear it the better.

I rated it 4 Stars.

I had general questions about attacking limps. You noticed that the Villain was tight and therefore turned up the aggression. He was mostly limping or folding and not raising much.

You attacked his limp several times with non-premium hands OOP:

@10:55 A6o 30/60 Effective Stacks: 985, You raise to 5x. You are obviously committed once you do this. Elsewhere in the video, you suggest that he is able to limp in with some stronger hands. Won't he be folding everything that is weaker and calling everything stronger to this raise? At this point, I don't think you've attacked his limp yet, so the hands he calls with will likely dominate your holding. There is enough fold equity to make this profitable?

@12:50 J4o 40/80 ES: 1025. You raise to 280. Obviously, the strength of your hand has nothing to do with your attack here. My question is, isn't there enough other "junk" that is better to attack the limp with...for example, some lower connectors? How do you decide which particular hands to attack his limp with? Purely on match flow and gut instinct as to when you think a raise will cause his fold? Or is there a guideline you can give?

Your next BB is KK, which of course you attack his limp with again. Your next BB is 74o, which you check, but then...

@14:05 T2o 40/80 ES: 1165. You again raise to 280. Three out the last four BBs you attack his limp, and this last one with total garbage? Isn't he likely getting a bit suspicious? Or do you just plan to keep doing this until he starts fighting back? I see this sometimes in videos without explanations, and it's something totally missing in my games. Of course, if I were just to start attacking limps randomly, my ROI would drop like a rock. Again, there must be some guideline or pearl of wisdom you can share here.

Two BBs later, you do the same with 95s...!!!

At the 50/100 blind level, you suddenly stop attacking limps. I guess there is less room for play here?

Thanks!

I spoke with Fydor over AIM regarding these questions, and basically this was his response: (Somewhat paraphrased, but I sent it to him for approval)

 @10:55 To be honest, I'm not a fan of making of 5x here. I'd prefer a shove. If you do happen to make it 5x, I'd be shoving any flop. But we don't have a hand that flops too well, and our hand plays well allin preflop.

RE: Attacking limps. If he is limp/folding a lot of hands then you can do it with pretty much any two cards, but obviously don't overdo it, because he will start to trap.

Honestly, I should have slowed down a bit. Sometimes when you're making a video you lose track of what's going on because your talking and focusing on what you're saying.

It's possible to keep attacking if your opponent is a complete donk who limp/folds like crazy and maybe that's why I was doing it. I don't remember. But you shouldn't overdo it or he will adjust.

But if he's ONLY playing back with strong hands and folding everything else after he limps, I have a ton of fold equity. And it won't be hard for me to get away when called/raised.
