1. Wjere is this game at? Button straddle with strange order?!

2. Very good. Thanks for sharing and breaking your process and thoughts down slowly

3. The caller is a Fish !! How He puts his opponent on Quad 6 !? 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

4. Awesome video Bart.

5. You people are a JOKE! You people REALLY think you know what an opponent is holding is laughable! You people trying to be psychic and trying to know for a fact what someone is holding is laughable! Poker isn't about trying to be a fortune teller. Poker is and always will be about the math. Poker math doesn't change no matter how hard you fake psychics want to make it be.

6. I am a new player and not an expert, though I study and love this game. I love the math and I use it often, though I have more to learn as this video proved, also learned a lot from this video, nevertheless I do NOT just use math, I use my read on my opponent and that is based on their playing style, betting patterns and their current mood, ALSO it very much depends on how they look at me as a player. I honestly find that I am almost always right when I think my hand is beat, so by trusting my judgment I have found that I save a LOT of money. I do make the call however if the SPR dictates and I have good equity. I would be happy to do this,. but I am playing with a low bankroll. Things have improved a lot of the last couple months, my first month of playing 1 2 no limit I was up about $ 1,400 though by learning how to improve my game I lost that money and more, though it was worth it. As you learn in chess, when you improve at a game you will go through periods where you do worse because you are implementing new ideas and strategies and errors are almost inevitable. Tiger Woods changed is golf swing and similar happened. Golf is pretty much a mathematical game in the sense that math would be needed to play correctly if programming a machine.
   I developed a feel for the cards and players by playing 3 6 limit for 7 months and 1 2 the last 3 and a half months and, I have made errors of course but it seems to be paying off. I use range, pot odds and combos to make decisions though feel and situation are perhaps equally important though the later is much more difficult to teach. My personal belief is that feel for the game is what separates very good players from the top players.
   In any case if all your plays are mathematically plus E V then you will win money for certain over time, however there are things that go beyond math, such as player types and tendencies. ALSO very important to realize that many players will play differently against different opponents, If some player is playing very lose and wild and you are playing tight, a decent player will adjust to that. This is something that math does not deal with and it is part of the beauty of poker. I actually love math and I have a background in theoretical physics and I also have a USCF Expert rating at chess, but at the same time there is more to poker than mathematical logic and that is a wonderful thing if you can utilize both.

7. Been watching alot of the You tubers and go through different times where I like one over the other but I gotta say Bart is probably the most grounded and gives nice balance of education and hand review and keeps it interesting. Keep up the good work.

8. Any other good videos to recommend with this type of port odds to equity “in your head” calculation? This is possibly the most instructive video I have ever seen on this topic and I would like to see more examples please!

9. I think he had either 76 spade or A,10, J of heart. If he call the raise with Q6 offsuit his a lucky donk

10. Why can you rule out 76s here? If it's a limp pot, isn't that something people can go in with?
