My Spin Legends Poker Journey (Spin & Gos) Documented through YouTube!

definetly better months to come

QTs was a nice fold on the turn.
not even close to having 35%

Dont remember time point anymore but some comments on two hands.

66: Where you had straight on 789Tx with two busted flush draws. Villain overshoved river and you sort of snap folded. Can be ok line versus unknown as exploitative line but it does also open door for heavy abuse in spots like these. Pretty great spot for villain to put heavy pressure on your range with overshove. Especially if you run into someone who has seen you make this fold. But yeah when you dont block either of flush draws with this 6x combo it would be perfect for bluff catch.

QTs in BB versus two limps: If I remember right you had 12-13bb so I would have been happy to shove preflop. I would expect lot of fold equity and risk:reward is great. Also hand like this has great equity even when getting called. But in general when SB complete he will fold almost always and BU had been limp happy if I remember right. So I doubt checking will give better value even though hand plays well.

As played when you check and flop comes A89 with your flush draw you can obviously raise versus SB lead as hand has huge equity. Problem versus thinking player is that you are basically representing just 89 for value. Ax, 88 and 99 would likely shove preflop. So thinking player is likely not folding e.g. 9x. On turn you have to fold versus BU shove. He can sometimes have weaker drawing hands in his range but likely pretty rarely as he is shoving versus two. So 13 outs with 26% equity is not enough.

66: (4:35) So would you say in this spot we made the correct fold? Considering we're facing a Rec and block both flushes? Completely agree if we don't block flushes this should be a bluff catch. Thanks for pointing this out as it wasn't in my thought process at the time.

QTs: I like your thought process here also and not a standard play for me. I agree that the risk/reward ratio is great here and i dont think we even care if SB did come along which they rarely do. I think as played i should have raised flop & shoved turn given our equity.

Thanks for your input as always ghaleon!

Hey guys!

Here is this weeks second live play video.
We start pretty bad in the video but turn it around to take down the last 3 games!

Hope you enjoy

6 as flush draw blocker is not issue. Villain is obviously not bluffing if he has 6 and I dont think 6x straight should really value shove as default. So to me this 66 is good as bluff catch. Better than e.g. 6xKh would be. Other line of thinking for bluff catch are combos that would block villain Jx but in HU ranges are so wide that having e.g. QT wont block them that much as villain could play J2s etc. Main point anyway is that we should not be calling just Jx as default in this spot. I think on average recreationals are not using overshoves as often as bluff so folding is more reasonable than versus good aggro reg. But still it should be spot for timebank decision

18:32 KTo: Something to think about here is that if you dont value cbet this how does your cbet range look like? Mainly about balance of value and semibluff/bluff combos. You dont want to cbet necessarily all Tx but this is one with top kicker. Even if you cbet it doesnt mean you need to plan for bet-bet-bet. But you can e.g. bet flop, check turn, evaluate river depending what has happened and how board has run. There is ton of weaker hands that can give action on flop and as you said villains on average tend to be (too) eager to 3bet Ax preflop.

Some of those Qx in BvB pretty standard to check to showdown even though not much showdown. But you have so much more sensible combos to bluff that have no showdown value and more ways to improve versus hi card hands.

24:34 46o: Villain having 5x is totally irrelevant as he would value bet it always anyway. So by checking we wont lose value versus it. Main question is what villain does with Jx if we check or if he calls them versus donk shove. If he is actually value betting good amount of Jx on river then checking can quickly become lot better as then villain also has possibility to bluff. But if villain checks stuff like QJ, KJ then donk shove probably start to get better.

Sort of funny opponent folding and showing Ax on 7bb stack depth. Interesting question is if shoving any2 would be optimal at that point for few hands.

40:30 T8o: Well played hand. I think villain line is totally fine with turn donk bet but imo he should make turn bet lot bigger. E.g. I would probably bet like 120 with these stacks to make pot size bet on river. E.g. if he has 5x he should be aiming to get allin. So to me his sizings wont really make that much sense. Also he can have few more bluffs with bigger sizings.

43:15 K5o: I would tend to go for bet-bet-bet in limped pot depending of board run out. He should not have that much better Kx in check range. But check is fine also. Interesting spot in river versus his small bet because I would really think about making thin value raise. Raise to 260 and fold to shove. Because his sizings look lot like some Qx, JT type of hands and its really unlikely villain would shove over as bluff.

I think that third player was some sort of reg as well because I have played in couple same games with him in my small amount of 15$ games.

Week 5/6 Results

Hey Guys!

Click on the video below to see my results for the month so far.
Off to a great start but need to catch up on that missing volume!

Volume Goal this month: 1200

What is your standard stack off range in firsts hand for minraise-call from button in these games? Had spot like this today when played few 15$ after my normal session:

Versus sensible range A8o wont really be good enough even with likely dead chips from SB but it is sort of close spot imo because player pool does so much weird spewy stuff in these 2x multipliers at least. Like ATo would be snap anyway. If villain shoves 24.0%, 22+ A2s+ A7o+ A5o-A4o K9s+ KJo+ Q9s+ QJo J9s+ T8s+ 98s it would be breakeven as top heavy range. Well as said sensible player would never do stuff like that but...

Hero wins 51 BB

It is a spot i need to look further into and i am not allowed to give away specific ranges as i am apart of SL but for Axos hands i would say ATos would be my cut off here readless.

In general i do see some fish and regs squeezing with lower Ax & some broadway so A8os might not be to bad but i would wait for reads first before calling with A8os.

Hey Guys!

Hi Guys!

Hope you all smashed February!
Been a awhile since my last video so here it is.

Hope you enjoy and will post my monthly results on the 1st.

FEBRUARY RESULTS!

Hi Guys!

February was a mixed month between the highs and the lows.

I got told during the month that i would be made redundant due to the company disbanding so it took my focus away from poker to plan what i will be doing going forward etc.

Poker wise everything went pretty well apart from the volume aspect but sometimes life happens so just gotta deal with it.

Here is my Graph for February & i have posted a video below showing all graphs and my short term future plans.

I hope you enjoy

Hi Guys,

I have edited my first post to show breakdown of graphs.

Also just uploaded opening my chests earned in February if you're interested in seeing what rakeback i got.

Spotted your blog a couple weeks ago, and I've just finished watching the last video today. Keep up the good work!
Would like to see you throw in an extra table into some of your videos, I agree it's good to one table and have the extra time to think and talk about the hands, but who actually one tables?

Watching your videos, and reading the hand analysis between ghaleon, have really helped me adjust my spins game. So cheers for that!

Good luck for the future! Hope it all works out for you.

Hey Man, thanks for the support and feedback!
Yes i will add more videos where i play multiple tables and even longer session etc so keep a look out.
Ghaleon is a great help so lets hope he keeps posting

Absolutely insane cEV results at 15s, you are going to crush 30s for sure.

Unlucky on the job situation, but maybe it's the beginning of something much more interesting for you.

Wouldn't mind hearing about some of the passive income streams.

Good luck!

Thanks man and it will be interesting for sure!
Hoping to keep my $15 ChipEV above 80 and to move up to the $30s next month.

I don't have any passive income at the moment but i do have other income streams. (Mainly Poker, Table Tennis coaching)
The goal is to create multiple passive incomes streams from investments (Mainly stocks), YouTube, product services and many more ideas that i have in mind.

I will document all this along the way as i start to expand into other fields so should be pretty interesting and educational.
