David Williams Instructional Video - Playing $3-$6 No Limit

[outragedthrone]

david knows what he is talking about. when he hit that 64 good play very good play sometimes u can lose it all if u let the board get too far :D

[lollerz16]

Some excellent advice there David. Thanks a lot.

[zalmi1]

This guy is a very good cash game player. I play small stakes cash games (i.e. .10-.25 & .50-$1) I played these stakes once and got murdered at these stakes because people kept raising and reraising me. He's really teaching me how to play at these blinds. Anyone can criticize him for what he's doing or the moves he made, but the truth is, the only people who criticize are the people that have never experienced that action before. I, for one, tip my hat to this man. Great vid

[DesAllen7]

You mean tip your dick in his ass, haha. He sucks, hardcore. He sounds like a tool, know-it-nothing, is what he is.

[eurospace123]

i just startedputtin my videos on here, check my channel david

[tukm]

no point keeping it the same to confuse ur oponent...all u need to do is switch it up sometimes like bet big with not so strong hands and smaller sometimes on rly strong hand and keep switching them up -.-

[ironlung1028]

lol yea ok, you do that. see in the long run how it works. you keep your raise the same everytime and its impossible to put you on a hand, switch it up post flop buddy.

[paulio2293]

i cant agree more. KEEP MOTHERFUCKING PRE FLOP BETS THE SAME. why do you want to give people extra information that they might actually use incorrectly?

[leeroyden]

I like this one... he plays like InsanoCut, if you guys know him... so far he's my best fan, i give IsanoCut 5 star *****. My big fan on online poker, he shold play in big live pokers and I want his auto-graph :P. Well me commenting about this I' am sure I'll get -s but i just considering him like that.

[AnteUp34]

about the 64s hand.. i don't know if i'm crazy but, i'm pretty sure i'd check back that turn for pot control reasons because i'd hate to have to fold this hand to a c/r. either that or bet about 40% pot to extract value from the FD and OESD part of his range.

[tyrone37]

mayb but ill listen to david williams over you, no offense

[TheIllegit]

$98 is too large a turn bet w/ the 64d. It forces your opponent to play correctly... no worse hand calls except MAYBE 63, and all better hands win even more than they should. If you bet $65-$70 a flush draw, or A5, or 6x might think it's getting the right price when really they aren;t. And if he has a better hand you lose less.

[GeneYuss3]

It looks very much like he was on a draw based on the action (weak bet on flop and checking turn). There are so many scare cards that could come too. Even with pot bet, opponent is still getting 2:1 odds + implied odds.

[TheIllegit]

Right, but 2-1 + implied odds generally won't be enough to make calling correct, so in folding a draw he is playing correct. And if he has a marginal hand he's also folding correctly. But if he's getting 2.3-1 he might now call, still not really getting the right price.

[seanadam]

I think the blind had a 6 and a face card. He thought he was ahead on the flop and lead out to protect his hand. The action scared him off....

Anyway we'll never know....

[fatman1997cw]

Hey could someone lend me some money on Full Tilt Poker? I am trying to get going on there. My user name is fatdad100

[ArrogantCancerian]

On a side note, HAHA did you know his mom is playing hold'em now to? That's embarrassing.

[ArrogantCancerian]

I love it how these nobodies place in a major event and then claim to be professionals. wtf is David Williams? what makes him a pro? because he won a lot of money? thats complete BS. look at Chris money maker, look at Jaime gold. these fools make themselves look like the bad players they truly are. watxh jaine gold on high stakes...you can't watch it without shaking your head.

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

Williams is a respected rounder and MTT player.

Raymer is a respected MTT player and has had much more success.

Moneymaker has gone on to have more consistent success in MTTs.

Jaime Gold is an idiot.

The definition of "PRO" is someone who does an activity for a "pro"fession.

Jaime Gold has a day job, and is not a "pro" player, get it?

Your name suits you. KNOW what you are talking about before you speak, if we wanted to hear a dumb asshole, we'd watch a video of George Bush farting.

[ArrogantCancerian]

Thanks for the info. your probably one of the jerk-off's that voted for that moron, but that's another issue.

I'm actually quite knowledgeable in hold em. Been playing for quite some time. I play online and live. Its not my profession, but I bet I log more hours than you. Arrogance is bliss XD

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

You come off like a 12 year old. I have nothing more to say to a pile of shit like you, other than you're a fucking child. End of debate.

If you can't do your OWN homework, ignore the obvious and act like a completer retard... then well, that truly proves my point.

"ON A SIDE NOTE"... his mom was playing poker months after his near win and became addicted.... this is NOT news, OR embarrassing.

For someone who claims to be knowledgeable in poker, you sure are a clueless retard.

[ArrogantCancerian]

umm, yeah i knew that. guy, this is the internet, don't take it so seriously. such harsh words. a pile of shit? for what? my goodness.

[ArrogantCancerian]

you have nothing more to say? why the other replies then? mean what you say

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

BTW, go to "pokerroad[.]com" and watch Williams' interview.

This will help you to understand how this player in particular is a "pro"

...aside from the obvious, him making a consistent living playing MTTs and ring games making it his "pro"fession.

[ArrogantCancerian]

You again? Awfully sensitive about David Williams... Are you fucking David or what?

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

"on a side note", i DO play for a "pro"fession. And while it's nothing to boast, i have more hours live and online than you have total combined, period. This is evident in your ignorant fucking demeanor and questions to obvious answers.

AGAIN proving you are a ignorant child full of assumption and questions.

[ArrogantCancerian]

Ignorant? i haven't said anything that can be construed as ignorant. I merely questioned someones "pro" status. again, so sensitive! i'm sorry i hurt your feelings about your boyfriend, just calling it like it is.

[TheProductionofMDM]

wtf, u never throw ace away, just dont raise like a dumbass before the 1st flop

[alejandrothunder]

lol

[skitzo37]

Wrong. A 2 in early position is a very easy fold

[adib4d]

ur a rookie

[LOLFLUSHDRAW]

nope, you are an idiot

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

theproduction, you're a losing player for a reason. I (we) don't even need to play with you to know that, all because of 1 sentence.

Nice life tell dude.

[HoldemDB9]

I think some of the live pros really underestimate online play. Like when he said that at this level people will base their raise sizes on the strength of their hands. That will not happen at NL600. Online NL 600 plays like live NL 10,000.

[JohnPorkLord]

Yeah its pretty good advice especially the triple blinds, push out... 5 maybe 6 players increase your odds of winning the pot right there, then depending on what you got and what the other player has been betting, you can easily take the pot down the majority of the time especially if checks around to you, though experienced players lay traps...

[drkglass01]

Good advice from a very successful player.

[mjnbowlgod]

Davids made more money playing poker then any one posting here....

[GeneYuss3]

By the way guys. David is a trained professional, don't try this at home:)

[wachinanlerning]

what's FR, and EP, and SC?...

[GeneYuss3]

Full ring, early position, suited connector.

[allinrizzo]

Are you kidding me, most of this idiots are broke most of the time.

[nickn1patch]

players who just sit around waiting for cards are so easy to play. He plays fairly loose for FR and the open limp with the 64 or whatever is spewy. Should always come in with a raise if you're first to act.

[lickybits]

he calls with hands like 6 4?

[freedomcostsabuckO5]

Yes it's called being unpredictable. You should try it.

[PugsMcgee]

He plays horrible FR. He plays as if it's 6 max which isn't good at all. The limp in EP with SC's was horrible...

[GeneYuss3]

That's David playing conservative lol.

[Gforcebond]

Go ahead play like that. If you play like that in a 8 hour sesseion even a 4 hour session you will lose money with out a doubt. That's how donkeys play. Most importantly that's not how u should play in a cash game. In a cash game you sit back and wait for the cards to come. Almost EVERY good player i know that plays live poker WAITS for good hands and sure as hell doesn't play like this donkey williams. I've seen David Williams play on TV before and I'm NOT impressed. Take this donkey vid down.

[GeneYuss3]

Everyone has his/her own style. The loose-aggressive can be very profitable and you often get paid off when you have a good hand.

[BrentD2222]

I'm sorry with all due respect you are wrong. Cash games are not like tournaments. You are usually deep stacked and can always rebuy. Tournaments are the time to be patient and "sit back" and wait. Cash games you need to get in there and play if you want action. If you only play every 15 hands in a cash game it will be really tuff to get action. Try watching any of the big players on Stars or FullTilt ect. They get in there and play.

[GeneYuss3]

Ya, most pros play loose-aggressive. Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Patrick Antonius, Gus Hansen and so on.

[asong1588]

no, your the one that is wrong. TAG poker in cash games is the best way to profit. Good luck trying to win the tournament by "being patient" and "sitting back"... that will only get you ITM or close to it... you won't win the tourney like that.

[Chipndale89]

there are no right or wrong styles of play in cash games because the outcome is unpredictable and the structure is consistant unlike the tournament. as for tournaments u can still win playing tight as long as u know how to make a move and understand the reflection points in the late stages.

[246trinitrotoluene]

some good reads

well done

[Sanchezj2]

Nice video david!! please make more.
