Nice vid - curious as to how comfortable you are playing someone like Feint 150bb's deep when you are most likely used to the shorter stack game? I recently transitioned over from UB to FTP so I had to make some adjustments in my game - you did mention valuing hands like 67s more than AT when the stacks are deeper - other than this, what kind of adjustments, if any, are you making?

I find that at the regular speed games, people tend to really over-value their top pair-type hands when they are deep, and over-rep those hands. I enjoy playing the deep-stacks vs fishier opponents because it just gives you a ton of maneuverability and more chances to exploit certain tendencies you might pick up on. Of course, the games end up going much longer than standard 75bb games, and action on UB is pretty inconsistent.

I'd like to see more vids on sites like UB/AP, where stacks are deeper - it's too bad the first level cut out. I think it can make for some very interesting spots, and it's refreshing to see these spots as opposed to the "standard" spots we see so often when effective stacks shrink. Also, I'd really like to discuss this more if anyone is interested, and would definitely be interested in some kind of collaboration for a vid series or something if that appeals to anyone.

I've played a reasonable amount of high stakes cash games so I am very comfortable with my deep stacked play. Ironically with your name, I've had Urindanger and Trex313 sweat me a bit and I think that they have done a lot to iron out most of the leaks I had while playing beyond 75BB deep. It is a shame that they don't coach because the amount that they have impacted my game is incredible compared to the speed of learning on my own. I think that the biggest problem I have playing deep stacked in HUSNGs is that the other players are so clueless as to how to play that it makes it difficult for me to assign a range. At 5/10+ cash I would almost never consider stacking off AQ for 150BB without some significant metagame, but against some of the players (even the regs) on UB AQ is basically the nuts.

The other significant adjustments that need to be made are generally when to pot control versus when to build the pot. You can put your opponents in very difficult spots if you take advantage of the stack sizes because you have a much better idea of how many barrels you will fire than they do. I think that a major problem that a lot of people I play against have is that they don't know when to give up their hand. There are frequently spots where I will raise them light on the turn because I know they will flat my raise then fold when I jam the river. Realistically, if I'm jamming the river with my whole range then flatting my raise at the turn is disastrous, but they just don't know any better.

I was disappointed with the early levels being cut out as well because I think that I played (and ran) well during it. I'll probably end up making more videos on UB in the future.

 Awesome, ty for the reply :) 

I know exactly what you mean about assigning ranges, but after playing even just a few hands vs villain, you can peg a lot of them early on as to who is over-valuing there hands pre and post-flop, and who you should be pot-controlling against, etc. Definitely interesting and I look forward to seeing more in the future.

I'm kind of crazy maybe, but what do you think of incorporating more 3b bluffs, especially when stacks are deep, vs someone like Feint who is opening a wide range and probably not going crazy w/ 4b shoves.. I think you did mention he was shipping over your 3b's at a decent frequency in past games, so maybe you did experiment with this already, but he should definitely be respecting your 3b's from what I saw.

I think that who you do or don't 3bet light against should be dependent on how they are responding to your 3bets. He hasn't seemed to give my 3bets much respect so I've kept it fairly straight forward, but I would definitely be balancing my range a bit more if he adapted.

Greetings,

I wanted to thank you for making this video.  I've never played on Ultimate Bet before, but after seeing this video I just might as their software looked awesome and their blind structure looks even better.   Anyway, I haven't watched one of your videos for a while (to my own detriment) and just wanted to give you some positive feedback.

First, I really like your avoidance of unnecessary technical jargon/language.  You do a a really good job of explaining your decisions to a diverse audience, even at this limit.  Also, your pacing is great.  The video never became boring and I found myself cheering along as you were trying to use your telekinetic powers to manipulate the turn and river cards in your favor ;-)  Furthermore, I enjoyed the discussion of how you were adapting your play to your opponent's predispositions.  You gave us the necessary background to enable us to have a deep understanding of the rationale behind your moves.  Lastly, your videos have helped me a lot with reading my opponents and understanding flop textures.

Thank you,

Jeffrey (five stars)
