I realized a big leak I had over the last month was fighting for too many pots on boards that weren't good for me and I was just bleeding chips on those bluffs. It's always good to remember it's okay to give up.
Great video for beginners like myself! Started getting into poker and watched your master the fundamentals, got my free $2.00 acr up to 34$ playing 1c/2c and free roll tournaments. Edit: 1st 30min session after watching this video and I'm up 200BB LFG.
I understand the 1 BB cbet but in reality especially earlier in tourneys it just doesnt work often enough just like Negreanu has said which is why he doesnt like the GTO play of a tiny cbet like this. I will agree it works better when later in a tourney and if you mix it up with bigger cbets rather you have it or not. Many players will just continue with their entire range and will float with all kinds of hands. Works great when someone is also playing a GTO strategy but 99.9% of players dont play anywhere near GTO
I am already on a different coaching class and I am too old to sign up for other classes such as your master class. But, your training videos on RUclips are the best. When I compare your videos with the videos from PokerCode, that I have paid for and subscribed to, your videos are absolute best. More importantly, I have heard from a friend of mine about your generosity to good causes, and I must say I admire you as a great human as well as an excellent poker coach and player.🙏
I see the AKspades and the 765 hearts flop, and my head is filled with the big F-bomb, haha. I'm thrilled with anticipation of what I'm going to watch :)
Another great lesson, Jonathan. I just finished my first read of your Mastering Small Stakes book and have started over at the beginning with yellow highlighter and notebook in hand. I've been putting the info to good use at my local 1/3 game and I am seeing good results. Keep the info coming!
Can't say I agree with the idea of continuation betting 78s on a AKQ flop with the idea that your opponent can't call with second or third pair. At low stakes live games that's precisely what they will call with.
Jonathan, I’ve been loving your videos and even purchased your book Excelling at NLHE, and your content has been improving my game tremendously. I’ve already crushed one of my friends’ home games and almost ready to head to the casinos! Thank you so much for all that you do.
Just nice how on point that example 7 was, i played a hand exactly like you said with AJcc on JT9ddd ended check folding vs bet and call and saw midset and mid 2 pair vs my TPTK no backdoor flush :) thanks Jonathan your input makes me a better player
I'm confused about Example 3 (Hero raise UTG; button call; flop KQ9 rainbow) You say we don't have a range and nut advantage. Why? We have AA, KK, QQ, AK, which presumably villain doesn't (no 3-bet). That's a pretty big nut advantage, no? Also, we probably have a moderate range advantage because we have less junk than villain, because our UTG RFI range is so tight. He's calling all pocket pairs, including some we're folding, and he probably has more suited connectors than us. Much of our 'junk' is suited aces (BDFD+Gutshot), but those could also be considered weak draws. Our only real junk is AXh and mid-pocket pairs (77; 88?) + the occasional suited connector we throw into the mix here.
I agree, I was confused by this example too and came to the comments looking for answers. Any insight over the last year that might explain his thought process? Haha
When calculating range/nut advantage, do you look at the total number of hands in their range that could have connected with the board, or the % of hands that connected in proportion to the rest of their range? i.e., let's say you raise early position and the button calls. Flop comes A76 rainbow. On this board, you are definitely going to have the nut advantage (AA), but the button will have more 2 pair, sets, and random Ax in their range. You on the other hand will have way more bluff catchers (99-KK) and strong one pairs (AJ-AK). Even though the button has more total hands that connect with this flop, they also have a bunch of random crap that missed so the % of their range that connects will be smaller than yours.
I have the same exact question - especially when thinking about situatuons like ex4 and ex5 from the video. A clearer definition of "having more" Ax/Kx etc is needed
Well for me if it's 100% whiff (like black AK on a red 567 flop) & im out of position i'll usually judt check/fold, in position maybe a delayed c-bet or just check it down. Like mentioned range & type of opponent(s) in the hand may change that but the first paragraph is what i'd do most often.
When someone checks to you on the flop, and you only have some draws with no current winning hand, should you check to see another card? or should you bluff or semi bluff? I always get tempted to bluff over-check but I have a feeling I should be checking more. Thanks.
The one thing I don’t understand about playing with ranges is that this all makes sense in games with good players where you can get a general idea of their range, but what about in microstakes? I play on bovada and it’s rare you even see a hand go to showdown in .02/.05 or .5/.10 and when you do half the time one hand mucks. So realistically I’m seeing _maybe_ 10-15 faceup hands an hour. Should I just assume my opponents have GTO ranges but slightly looser? I have a feeling what I really need to do to be successful in microstakes is to be _patient._ Try to c-bet bluff but dont triple barrel (bc even tho it works sometimes it seems like it doesn’t work enough to be profitable, or at least I cant identify the spots where it does and doesn’t work). bet when i have top pair or better depending on board texture and bet linearly to my hand strength. The one thing I don’t like is it feels like maybe once every 3 hours I’ll get a hand where I have a good hand _and_ the opponent had a good but worse hand. But maybe that’s just how poker is? I wish I knew what a winning player playing the “fundamentals” at micro stakes looked like.
If your playing cash then you can afford to just wait on hands and go from there. Losing a few small hands to see what they are playing will pay off in the long run.
A video idea for you (unless you already have it!) - poker strategy by position. This video covers a situation for every position, but it would be interesting to see it from the other perspective where its a position for every situation. What i'm learning is that position is the most critical piece of information, so knowing how to play each position would be great!
What? It's way better for you if your opponents don't know how you play. If I go play live at a place where people don't know me. I will usually play it up that I don't know what I'm doing if I can. You just need to work woth whatever table image you've got that night.
You're the man, thanks for all your lessons. How can I proceed with 'ranges' by choosing what is the right for me based on the general type of player I am, rather than more randomly flowing depending on my mood in the session. I am struggling to memorise all the different ranges, based on players, C-bets, etc
Weekly low stakes tourney, $20 buy in, usually 8-12 people: My range: typical tight aggressive. Opponents range: Unclear, every hand. Absolute donkey. My position: Standard TAG RFI or call. My stack depth: >100bb usually. Opponents tendencies: Absolute donkey. Number of players: 7-11 in every flop. Result: Miss flop, fold. Is this typical??
2:05 Jonathan so I’m wondering, buddy when you say ranges in this situation, do you mean the specific cards that they would play or do you mean the general hand range for that position at the table because I noticed it’s different with the lunatics I play with with in live games
Hey Jonathan - great content! While I agree for the most part that you have to defend narrower in multi-way pots, I do think there's some legitimacy and leveraging players against each other in multi-way plots because each person has to defend tighter so sometimes you can use that to actually play more aggressively and get bluffs through
i liked your correction of grammar. Good video. This is exactly what i've been missing. The example of J-6-6 with an Ax, you say it's best to check, but what if they raise? do you call? or because of the perceved range i.e. they might have that 6 or that J, dont you just fold at this point? I guess it depends on player type but so unpredictable with fish because they have no logic applied to their plays
It’s extremely hard to put people on ranges in the micro stakes when you raise 9x blinds pre flop and get called with 2,3 off suit and they win with a pair of deuces
The 1bb cbet at the local $1/2 is considered a signal that you have a high-hand and need the minimum in the pot to qualify. I think in terms of "what's the least amount to bet to be equal" would be more like 3bb.
When playing against recs who only play their exact hand, and not range, how much value should you be putting towards your own range? Since they obviously aren't thinking about your range when they don't even think of their own.
If you don't cbet often you should cbet. Ppl knowing your image will fold more often. If you do cbet often but opponent is tight you can either check or cbet. Depends on if you think his pre-flop calling range is made hands or decent hands like AJ +. If he has good pocket pairs I would not cbet often vs this guy without a made hand. If opponent is loose and aggressive I would cbet or check. Check depending on if he likes to 3 bet flops that suit his range. If you always cbet then don't cbet your made hands and that will most likely induce a loose player into bluffing.
Would you say the maths/probability backs up most of these recommendations? (I think so, but wondering to what extent - or is it mostly human psychology tendencies etc that lead to these recommendations?)
Can somebody explain to me the thought proces you imply to the game in matter of equity, odds and EV? I mean, i read about it a couple of times i understand it as i read but when i play some games online (which is not the best way to learn, bc it's obviously different than tournament or even casual game with friends) i have no time to analise and count those things, not mention when i should count it. There must be some kind of shortcuts to memorise it. So what I am asking is what are the steps to evaluate, are you evaluating every street or maybe only particular situations?
I like my table image to be “tilted” so opps call me down when I’m over betting the pot on all three streets with the monsters and just look like I’m rage-barreling.
Problem with this even with range advantage once these players hit a hand they don't fold and they r tight players , so they always bet with a hit and ur blank ...... So u gotta wait to hit .
I was betting 1/2 pot on dry flops and 3/4 on wet flops and i was doing pretty good. Also if the preflop agressor bet small on the flop (less than half pot) most of the time especially on wet flops i was check/raising them and won most of the time. even if they call my raise i was betting 3/4 pot on safe card on turn and won most of the time. Hole cards don't matter. Definitely +EV recipe for micro stakes. but lately i started watching too much videos like this and reading articles on poker strategy that advocate for betting small...
I implemented small bets and from being 25NL crusher I can't even beat 2NL. I get stacked by fish and donkeys time after time even on 2NL. R.I.P. bankroll 😂 I think that poker coaches should state that some strategies are not for micros...
Why none of the examples of board textures included one where both players miss the flop? These are always the toughest to play from oop because it feels like they should fold a lot to a cbet but in online 6max games people overcall flop and turn, it's not registering to me how a flop cbet on such boards aren't profitable but yet people rarely fold in these spots.
If i open utg with say 78o and get called by mp and the flop hits what an utg should have ,say AKx, and i play like i did indeed hit my range, shouldn't i be able to take the pot? so if AKx comes it's my pot and if the flop hits 89o i take the pot, I'm just saying, talk about mixing up your game!
How do you know if you have the range advantage when you believe your opponents are all playing pretty solid ranges? I guess for example if I am playing top 20% I know my range, but how am I identifying my opponent's range to know if I have range advantage, or if they're even considering range advantage and not just playing their specific hands in general? I guess I just don't really understand playing vs ranges in general..
It doesn't matter if your opponent is not thinking in the same level as you. You should still think about how to play vs their entire range. If you open UTG and get called UTG+1 they should have mostly suited broadways and medium pocket pairs. They should have no garbage and they also have no QQ+ because they would've raised that. If the BB defends you they have a very wide range, much lower cards on average, far less pocket pairs. So the UTG+1 has range advantage on a high coordinated board like QT8 2 tone. The BB has range advantage on a low-low-low board. You will have range advantage on a uncoordinated high card board like A73 or K95.
I don't learn with your style so much at the moment. You give a lot of examples but I don't see the big image, the pattern. so when I play no hit spots I don't know why to do what. I think I need content more theoretical with 80% of als possibilities to make a plan. no critics. I think I just have to what your vids a little bit more. maybe I can make the thought transfer...
Hey Folks I am quite beginner player grinding small tournaments and cash games on GGpoker. I wanted to ask if anybody knows whether cashing out the equity when u are all in is good or bad ? Thank you
Instructions unclear. Raised 69BB and 2 USB sticks with personal, compromising photos of my opponent after drawing 3 of clubs, the joker and Jace the Mind Sculpture from Magic the Gathering.
These are the best videos, what to do when things are not text book ideal. AA in position, easy. 72 out of position, easy. But… 10 8 suited cutoff with LAG under the gun plus 1 open, huh??? what??? “Why didn’t I go play bingo with the wife?” 🤣
Jonathan. Hi !! My idea to "not miss the flop". When open raising Early Position 1,2,3, (probably to become Out Of Position) I try to structure my range "pair heavy" AA...QQ...TT...77 [66 55] ... and limit my bluff range. That way I have many pairs (and overpairs and sets). What do you think? In addition my image can be "tight", and when I loosen up on the cutoff and button I have "a range advantage"...
I am exploitative. It depends on who im playing and what they think of me in the short frame of time we have played together. Exploitative play is the best play. Even the best GTO players exploit each others thought process. They are the top tier players. I don't think ill ever learn GTO. Exploit is easier for me.
@@king_has_no_clothskul8635 heh-heh. Wow. Dassa lotta caps and exclamations. I dunno. It just seems to me that if your opponent is any good, he's gonna mix up his tendencies. So you really don't know his range. At least not to the accuracy where you can just plug it into a mathematical equation like it's a given fact. But dat's just me. I can tell by the caps you know what you're talking about so I'm probably wrong.

@@joeseddit LOL. I TYPED CRICKET GAME WHICH INDIA LOST: WORLD CUP FINAL!!! ----------------------- poker is not a perfect game man. --------- you have to study your opponent and know how he is calling based on that you adjust your range is the point. what type of player he is, is what you have to determine. all poker sites say that no matter what pot-odds, equity, bet size that and this you decide. ------------- a player will call based on his position,stack size and stage at the tournament. he is not gonna play the same way at different stages,positions and stack sizes. he will alter his bet sizes and also his bluffs and adjust his range. you also adjust yours based on that player or players. ------------------- and HOPE the cards FALL ON YOUR SIDE RATHER THAN THEIRS. ----------------- IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS OF PRACTICE AND EASIER SAID THAN DONE FOR SURE. --------------- LITTLE SAID HE WAS PLAYING 5000 HANDS PER DAY.

@@joeseddit errr, no. I think, based on my understanding of GTO poker, @king_has_no_clothskul8635 has it incorrect. The ranges are set by GTO--Each position has a range of hands that any player should fold/call/raise/reraise with to maximize EV. Therefore, depending on your opponent's position and their action you can assign a range of hands to them and play accordingly. A player's tendencies can cause you to shift them a bit, sure. But the base ranges themselves are set off the results of millions of simulations to find the optimal action for each hand at each position.
ANY IMPROVEMENT? CANT BE BLAMED AS YOU ARE GOING FOR TOP SPOT AND NOT JUST BEING IN THE MONEY WHICH ONLY RECOVERS YOUR BUY-INN AT MOST. I LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I DID THAT. BUT IT HURTS EVEN FOR A DOLLAR BUY-INNS!!!
@jonathan: I’m confused at about 13:05 you are giving “Example 4” K82 rainbow UTG vs BTN. I thought this would be similar to K75 rainbow from LJ vs BTN-and on K75, I believe we should be RANGE BETTING and LARGE-and you said we should bet frequently and small. Am I missing something? Is K75 very substantially different from K82 r? Or is the issue that UTG opener is very different from LJ? Or are you talking in this video about 30 BB stack depth at tournaments? Whereas I mostly study cash and tend to focus on 200BB depth? I suspect this might be aimed at 30BB depth because later you say this depends on your having enough kings in your range including K7s-which I am definitely not opening from UTG at 200 BB depth!
"you can't win if you check" is an untrue statement. You win by avoiding a situation where you trap yourself against someone who hit their range on the 8-9-6 board. It is easy for 2 bb to have 2 pair or beter and to check to you and allow you to c-bet bluff your missed range. Checking is a win, in that scenario.
You think you’re speaking slowly enough because of the pauses between your sentences but when you speak, you’re speaking way too fast. Please speak slower if you can. It would be much more helpful. Thanks.
I like your content but I can’t stand your voice . Suggestion , have somebody explain to you or use AI voice. Just a suggestion , you will get more viewers and subscribers .
When you raise preflop and miss the flop do you:
A) Bet too frequently?
B) Do not bet enough?
C) I am perfectly balanced! 😅
A. Definitely A.
A
A for sure
I would definitely say I am perfectly balanced between folding away all my equity and over betting and losing all my chips.
Cry
Just don't miss the flop????
Once they master GTO they won’t do that anymore
Some players don’t miss the flop because they see it 100% of the time. The flop really wishes they’d give it some space.
Genius...
If you miss the flop, don’t worry - another one will be along in a few minutes. They’re like busses.
It's simple, we kill the batman.
I realized a big leak I had over the last month was fighting for too many pots on boards that weren't good for me and I was just bleeding chips on those bluffs. It's always good to remember it's okay to give up.
Right on point! I've learned to take a second, think it through, and make the tough but necessary fold. Lose a little, win a lot!
This is my current issue. Really trying to focus on my post flop aggression to correct it
Great video for beginners like myself! Started getting into poker and watched your master the fundamentals, got my free $2.00 acr up to 34$ playing 1c/2c and free roll tournaments.
Edit: 1st 30min session after watching this video and I'm up 200BB LFG.
Dont get carried away
Good job man👏👏👏👏
I really appreciate your lessons. Thank you for taking the time to create great content!!!
My pleasure!
I understand the 1 BB cbet but in reality especially earlier in tourneys it just doesnt work often enough just like Negreanu has said which is why he doesnt like the GTO play of a tiny cbet like this. I will agree it works better when later in a tourney and if you mix it up with bigger cbets rather you have it or not. Many players will just continue with their entire range and will float with all kinds of hands. Works great when someone is also playing a GTO strategy but 99.9% of players dont play anywhere near GTO
I don't always miss the flop but when I do I fire all three barrels into the villians set.
Me too 😂
I am already on a different coaching class and I am too old to sign up for other classes such as your master class. But, your training videos on RUclips are the best. When I compare your videos with the videos from PokerCode, that I have paid for and subscribed to, your videos are absolute best. More importantly, I have heard from a friend of mine about your generosity to good causes, and I must say I admire you as a great human as well as an excellent poker coach and player.🙏
That's very kind of you to say 🙏 thank you!
I see the AKspades and the 765 hearts flop, and my head is filled with the big F-bomb, haha. I'm thrilled with anticipation of what I'm going to watch :)
Another great lesson, Jonathan. I just finished my first read of your Mastering Small Stakes book and have started over at the beginning with yellow highlighter and notebook in hand. I've been putting the info to good use at my local 1/3 game and I am seeing good results. Keep the info coming!
What do you note down in the book?
How are you doing in the game now?
Can't say I agree with the idea of continuation betting 78s on a AKQ flop with the idea that your opponent can't call with second or third pair. At low stakes live games that's precisely what they will call with.
Depends on who has position.
Jonathan, I’ve been loving your videos and even purchased your book Excelling at NLHE, and your content has been improving my game tremendously. I’ve already crushed one of my friends’ home games and almost ready to head to the casinos! Thank you so much for all that you do.
Just nice how on point that example 7 was, i played a hand exactly like you said with AJcc on JT9ddd ended check folding vs bet and call and saw midset and mid 2 pair vs my TPTK no backdoor flush :) thanks Jonathan your input makes me a better player
I'm confused about Example 3 (Hero raise UTG; button call; flop KQ9 rainbow)
You say we don't have a range and nut advantage. Why?
We have AA, KK, QQ, AK, which presumably villain doesn't (no 3-bet). That's a pretty big nut advantage, no?
Also, we probably have a moderate range advantage because we have less junk than villain, because our UTG RFI range is so tight. He's calling all pocket pairs, including some we're folding, and he probably has more suited connectors than us.
Much of our 'junk' is suited aces (BDFD+Gutshot), but those could also be considered weak draws. Our only real junk is AXh and mid-pocket pairs (77; 88?) + the occasional suited connector we throw into the mix here.
I agree, I was confused by this example too and came to the comments looking for answers. Any insight over the last year that might explain his thought process? Haha
I’m new to your channel. Great video. But are we talking cash games or tournaments ?
When calculating range/nut advantage, do you look at the total number of hands in their range that could have connected with the board, or the % of hands that connected in proportion to the rest of their range?
i.e., let's say you raise early position and the button calls. Flop comes A76 rainbow.
On this board, you are definitely going to have the nut advantage (AA), but the button will have more 2 pair, sets, and random Ax in their range. You on the other hand will have way more bluff catchers (99-KK) and strong one pairs (AJ-AK).
Even though the button has more total hands that connect with this flop, they also have a bunch of random crap that missed so the % of their range that connects will be smaller than yours.
I have the same exact question - especially when thinking about situatuons like ex4 and ex5 from the video. A clearer definition of "having more" Ax/Kx etc is needed
What they said
Well for me if it's 100% whiff (like black AK on a red 567 flop) & im out of position i'll usually judt check/fold, in position maybe a delayed c-bet or just check it down.
Like mentioned range & type of opponent(s) in the hand may change that but the first paragraph is what i'd do most often.
When someone checks to you on the flop, and you only have some draws with no current winning hand, should you check to see another card? or should you bluff or semi bluff? I always get tempted to bluff over-check but I have a feeling I should be checking more. Thanks.
I’ll bluff depending on texture….I actually believe any paired rainbow board should be bet 100% in position
The one thing I don’t understand about playing with ranges is that this all makes sense in games with good players where you can get a general idea of their range, but what about in microstakes? I play on bovada and it’s rare you even see a hand go to showdown in .02/.05 or .5/.10 and when you do half the time one hand mucks. So realistically I’m seeing _maybe_ 10-15 faceup hands an hour. Should I just assume my opponents have GTO ranges but slightly looser?
I have a feeling what I really need to do to be successful in microstakes is to be _patient._ Try to c-bet bluff but dont triple barrel (bc even tho it works sometimes it seems like it doesn’t work enough to be profitable, or at least I cant identify the spots where it does and doesn’t work). bet when i have top pair or better depending on board texture and bet linearly to my hand strength. The one thing I don’t like is it feels like maybe once every 3 hours I’ll get a hand where I have a good hand _and_ the opponent had a good but worse hand. But maybe that’s just how poker is?
I wish I knew what a winning player playing the “fundamentals” at micro stakes looked like.
that being said this video was still helpful
I don't have an answer for you but I completely empathize with your sentiments.
If your playing cash then you can afford to just wait on hands and go from there. Losing a few small hands to see what they are playing will pay off in the long run.
A video idea for you (unless you already have it!) - poker strategy by position. This video covers a situation for every position, but it would be interesting to see it from the other perspective where its a position for every situation. What i'm learning is that position is the most critical piece of information, so knowing how to play each position would be great!
You have to establish your identity at a table first. That takes a few hands.
What?
It's way better for you if your opponents don't know how you play.
If I go play live at a place where people don't know me. I will usually play it up that I don't know what I'm doing if I can.
You just need to work woth whatever table image you've got that night.
My favorite video of yours JL.
starting to watch your videos and they are really helpful, nice job on explaining these concept
You're the man, thanks for all your lessons. How can I proceed with 'ranges' by choosing what is the right for me based on the general type of player I am, rather than more randomly flowing depending on my mood in the session. I am struggling to memorise all the different ranges, based on players, C-bets, etc
Thank you
You're welcome
Another great lesson Jonathan. I like your teaching style and enthusiasm! #pokercoaching
Thanks John! Appreciate it 😁
Weekly low stakes tourney, $20 buy in, usually 8-12 people:
My range: typical tight aggressive.
Opponents range: Unclear, every hand. Absolute donkey.
My position: Standard TAG RFI or call.
My stack depth: >100bb usually.
Opponents tendencies: Absolute donkey.
Number of players: 7-11 in every flop.
Result: Miss flop, fold.
Is this typical??
2:05 Jonathan so I’m wondering, buddy when you say ranges in this situation, do you mean the specific cards that they would play or do you mean the general hand range for that position at the table because I noticed it’s different with the lunatics I play with with in live games
Hey Jonathan - great content! While I agree for the most part that you have to defend narrower in multi-way pots, I do think there's some legitimacy and leveraging players against each other in multi-way plots because each person has to defend tighter so sometimes you can use that to actually play more aggressively and get bluffs through
i liked your correction of grammar. Good video. This is exactly what i've been missing. The example of J-6-6 with an Ax, you say it's best to check, but what if they raise? do you call? or because of the perceved range i.e. they might have that 6 or that J, dont you just fold at this point? I guess it depends on player type but so unpredictable with fish because they have no logic applied to their plays
I love ur videos like this. Great help. Ty👍
Glad you like them!
Yes the 1BB C-bet content would be great! I'd like ideas of how to incorporate this into my own games
Easy
When you dont have the nut advantage and stack syzes get smaller you wanna do it more
Start with the obvious scenarios and move up
It’s extremely hard to put people on ranges in the micro stakes when you raise 9x blinds pre flop and get called with 2,3 off suit and they win with a pair of deuces
12:35 how do we not have much of a nut advantage? UTG has KK, QQ, AK, KQ, 99 and the whole UTG range is not very big
AK is about the worst hand to be holding unless you hit the flop. I lose TO and WITH AK more often than any other hole cards I’ve ever held.
thats why we used to call it Anna Kournikova - looks great but plays like shit
I feel you, maybe partly because AK is played more hands?
Why is the BB likely to have a wider range? Because they check with anything! (They have already payed to play).
Please explain “range”. Thanks
Such awesome content, thank you!
The 1bb cbet at the local $1/2 is considered a signal that you have a high-hand and need the minimum in the pot to qualify. I think in terms of "what's the least amount to bet to be equal" would be more like 3bb.
When playing against recs who only play their exact hand, and not range, how much value should you be putting towards your own range? Since they obviously aren't thinking about your range when they don't even think of their own.
If you don't cbet often you should cbet. Ppl knowing your image will fold more often.
If you do cbet often but opponent is tight you can either check or cbet. Depends on if you think his pre-flop calling range is made hands or decent hands like AJ +. If he has good pocket pairs I would not cbet often vs this guy without a made hand.
If opponent is loose and aggressive I would cbet or check. Check depending on if he likes to 3 bet flops that suit his range.
If you always cbet then don't cbet your made hands and that will most likely induce a loose player into bluffing.
Definitely do a 1bb video
I’m a sucker for flat calling with a low pair but often fold to the c bet
Would you say the maths/probability backs up most of these recommendations? (I think so, but wondering to what extent - or is it mostly human psychology tendencies etc that lead to these recommendations?)
Can somebody explain to me the thought proces you imply to the game in matter of equity, odds and EV? I mean, i read about it a couple of times i understand it as i read but when i play some games online (which is not the best way to learn, bc it's obviously different than tournament or even casual game with friends) i have no time to analise and count those things, not mention when i should count it. There must be some kind of shortcuts to memorise it.
So what I am asking is what are the steps to evaluate, are you evaluating every street or maybe only particular situations?
Great video, but i find that the exemples are not as visual or intuitive as they could be. It would be great if you showed them with the simulator!
Can you make some videos on fixed limit games?
I like my table image to be “tilted” so opps call me down when I’m over betting the pot on all three streets with the monsters and just look like I’m rage-barreling.
You shouldn't ever call a bet or make a raise unless you have at least a pair, Jack!
As always coach,Tks
Problem with this even with range advantage once these players hit a hand they don't fold and they r tight players , so they always bet with a hit and ur blank ...... So u gotta wait to hit .
Recently I started just betting 1/2 - 3/4 pot like 85% of the time and checking 15% of the time and it's been working well
I was betting 1/2 pot on dry flops and 3/4 on wet flops and i was doing pretty good.
Also if the preflop agressor bet small on the flop (less than half pot) most of the time especially on wet flops i was check/raising them and won most of the time.
even if they call my raise i was betting 3/4 pot on safe card on turn and won most of the time.
Hole cards don't matter.
Definitely +EV recipe for micro stakes.
but lately i started watching too much videos like this and reading articles on poker strategy that advocate for betting small...
I implemented small bets and from being 25NL crusher I can't even beat 2NL.
I get stacked by fish and donkeys time after time even on 2NL.
R.I.P. bankroll 😂
I think that poker coaches should state that some strategies are not for micros...
As a fellow writer take solace from this re. Grammar; that’s why we have an editor!
thank you for ur knowledge
My pleasure
What winrate do you think a gto solver would have against Linus 6max per big bling one hundred??????
Why none of the examples of board textures included one where both players miss the flop? These are always the toughest to play from oop because it feels like they should fold a lot to a cbet but in online 6max games people overcall flop and turn, it's not registering to me how a flop cbet on such boards aren't profitable but yet people rarely fold in these spots.
Very informative, thank you Jonathan
Nothing wrong with "as long as" but "if" is more economical
1BB bet video please!!!!
More on when to bet small!
Also depends on wheather the flop is coordinated or not.
If i open utg with say 78o and get called by mp and the flop hits what an utg should have ,say AKx, and i play like i did indeed hit my range, shouldn't i be able to take the pot? so if AKx comes it's my pot and if the flop hits 89o i take the pot, I'm just saying, talk about mixing up your game!
How do you know if you have the range advantage when you believe your opponents are all playing pretty solid ranges?
I guess for example if I am playing top 20% I know my range, but how am I identifying my opponent's range to know if I have range advantage, or if they're even considering range advantage and not just playing their specific hands in general?
I guess I just don't really understand playing vs ranges in general..
It doesn't matter if your opponent is not thinking in the same level as you. You should still think about how to play vs their entire range.
If you open UTG and get called UTG+1 they should have mostly suited broadways and medium pocket pairs. They should have no garbage and they also have no QQ+ because they would've raised that.
If the BB defends you they have a very wide range, much lower cards on average, far less pocket pairs.
So the UTG+1 has range advantage on a high coordinated board like QT8 2 tone.
The BB has range advantage on a low-low-low board.
You will have range advantage on a uncoordinated high card board like A73 or K95.
Yes please to 1BB bet video!
I don't learn with your style so much at the moment. You give a lot of examples but I don't see the big image, the pattern. so when I play no hit spots I don't know why to do what. I think I need content more theoretical with 80% of als possibilities to make a plan. no critics. I think I just have to what your vids a little bit more. maybe I can make the thought transfer...
Hey Folks I am quite beginner player grinding small tournaments and cash games on GGpoker. I wanted to ask if anybody knows whether cashing out the equity when u are all in is good or bad ?
Thank you
14:00 so playing K7 suited utg is gto?????
“Your identity should be wrapped up in if you make good, strong, high equity decisions at the poker table and in your life”
Instructions unclear.
Raised 69BB and 2 USB sticks with personal, compromising photos of my opponent after drawing 3 of clubs, the joker and Jace the Mind Sculpture from Magic the Gathering.
These are the best videos, what to do when things are not text book ideal.
AA in position, easy.
72 out of position, easy.
But…
10 8 suited cutoff with LAG under the gun plus 1 open, huh??? what???
“Why didn’t I go play bingo with the wife?” 🤣
Jonathan. Hi !! My idea to "not miss the flop". When open raising Early Position 1,2,3, (probably to become Out Of Position) I try to structure my range "pair heavy" AA...QQ...TT...77 [66 55] ... and limit my bluff range. That way I have many pairs (and overpairs and sets). What do you think? In addition my image can be "tight", and when I loosen up on the cutoff and button I have "a range advantage"...
I am exploitative. It depends on who im playing and what they think of me in the short frame of time we have played together. Exploitative play is the best play. Even the best GTO players exploit each others thought process. They are the top tier players. I don't think ill ever learn GTO. Exploit is easier for me.
How do you know your opponent's range? Does he just tell you at some point while playing? Hand you a tip sheet?
YOU HAVE TO STUDY YOUR OPPONENTS BY SEEING THEIR TENDENCIES. SO IT COMES BY REAL TIME EXPERIENCE. FIRST HOUR!!!!
@@king_has_no_clothskul8635
heh-heh. Wow. Dassa lotta caps and exclamations. I dunno. It just seems to me that if your opponent is any good, he's gonna mix up his tendencies. So you really don't know his range. At least not to the accuracy where you can just plug it into a mathematical equation like it's a given fact. But dat's just me. I can tell by the caps you know what you're talking about so I'm probably wrong.
@@joeseddit well, they failed to apply the knowledge. what was rahul doing? rohit gav his wicket away, gill horrible shot when not set. no rotation of strike.
there are chinks in batting order:lack of depth. surkya kumar is not a one day player. he got out 3 times straight and that were the signs. all he does is sweep and did not adopt when they were balling short, stay there till 50 th over.
did you see how pat commions bailed out asustralia both in tests and one dayers? against afghanistan? afghan failed dropping sitters( young country and budding one. so you pardon them).

after 6 there is nothing. on top of that you have PANDYA MISSING IN ACTION. YOU JUST HAVE ONE GUY WHO CAN BAT N BOWL AND HE WAS GONE MISSING. HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN YADAVS SPOT AND HE HAS THE SHOTS TO HIT ANYWHERE UNLIKE SURYA KUMAR YADAV WHO FELL IN TO A TRAP.
SANJU SAMSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY IN MIDDLE ORDER WAS NOT CONSIDERED AT ALL.
---------------------
INDIA ALSO HAD NO PANT.
WHILE AUSSIES HAD NO SPACE EVEN FOR STONIS--A PREMIER ALL ROUNDER.
SO EVERYTHING FELL IN PLACE FOR AUSTRALIA.
A HORRENDOUS PITCH WHICH WENT DID.
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PEOPLE AGAINST YOU YOU CANT WIN.
-----------------------------------------------------
TO AGAINST CRICKET BOARD THEY PROVIDED A GREEN TOP WHEN INDIA WAS LAGGING BEHIND IN 2004, AND AUSTRALIA TOOK THE SERIES.
A RANK TURNER IN MUMBAI WAS TOO LATE
----------------------------------------------------
THESE FACTORS ARE TAKEN OUT IN AMERICAN GAMES: THEY HAVE NO WEATHER INTERFERENCE AND AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES.
-------------------------------------------------------
LAST WORLD CUP WAS THEIR EXCELLENT CHANCE BUT AGAIN INEXPERIENCED MIDDLE ORDER DID THEM INN: BOTH PANDYA AND PANT GOING FOR NEEDLESS SHOTS. SHAMMI A PREMIER SWING BOWLERS WAS NOT SELECTED. NZ WOULD HAVE BEEN SKILTTLED FOR 150!
IN-FORM DAWAN WAS INJURED AND DID NOT PLAY!!
-------------------
A MIRACLE HIT WAS REQUIRED TO GET DHONI OUT THOUGH IT WAS TOUCH LATE AND SAME BOWL WENT FOR 4 RUNS AGAINST ENGLAND( KARMA FOR THAT LOW BUDGET NEWZEALAND).
THE CHINKS IN INDIAN ARMOUR WERE SHOWN BY MITCHELL AND WILLIAMSON IN THAT SEMI-FINALS!! BUT FORTUNATELY PITCH HAD SOME LIFE UNLIKE THIS.
------------------------------------
MICKEY MOUSE GROUNDS. NO GROUND IS 80 METERS.
=====================
IYER SITTING DUCK AGAINST QUALITY PACE BOWLING. HE WAS SITTING BACK ON A SLOW PITCH FEARING BOUNCERS RATHER THAN BLOCKING THE BALL STANDING OUTSIDE THE CREASE ON FRONT FOOT. AND YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND SADLY BEING A SCIENTIST I KNEW IT!
--------------------------------------
BARRING KOHLI NOBODY DOES ROTATION OF STRIKES WHICH WAS NEEDED WHEN BOUNDARIES WERE NOT COMING!!
-------------------------
IN INDIA GAVASKAR, TENDULKAR, KOHLI AND DHONI ARE THE GREATE RUNNERS BETWEEN THE WICKETS AND ON LOWER LEVEL JADEJA, AZHAR OCCASSIONALLY AND ROBIN SINGH( WHO REDEEMED HIS CARRER) ROTATED THE STRIKE. REST BASICALLY SUCK!
---------------------------------------------------------------
I KNOW HOW TO BEAT AUSSIES BUT I AM NOT INVOLVED. YOU SEE HOW ARGENTINA BEAT FRANCE DESPITE MBAPPE THREATENING AN UPSET( THERE IS NO PITCH DECIDING IN SOCCER FORTUNATELY THOUGH ARGENTINA BLEW SO MANY CHANCE IN THE FIRST HALF AND IT NEARLY COST THEM). THE SAME ARGENTINA WON HOCKEY OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WHICH HEAVY WEIGHT INDIA HAS NOT DONE IN MY LIFE TIME.
----------------------------------
A SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY PLAYING HOCKEY AND WINNING GOLD AT OLYMPICS IS ONE OF THE SPORTS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AND EXPLAIN HOW IT HAPPENED? IT IS LIKE DUTCH WINNING WORLD CUP BEATING AUSSIES!!!
------------------------------------
SO WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.
--------------------------------------------------------
INDIA DID NOT PLAY ASHWIN IN TEST MATCH WORLD CUP AND THEY PLAYED HIM IN A PREVIOUS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON OVERCAST CONDITIONS!!
SO THESE PEOPLE GOOFING UP IS NOTHING NEW.
---------------------------------------------------
AND POOR WEATHER ALWAYS INTERFERING WITH SOUTH AFRICANS IS BEYOND ME.
THEY ALSO GOOFED UP WITH MILLER NOT STAYING TILL 50TH OVER.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A SECOND STIRNG INDIAN TEAM BEAT AUSSIES IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD. SO IT IS DOABLE. BUT YOU HAVE TO PLAN PROPERLY. THERE THE PITCHES WERE CONSISTENT.
THOUGH AUSTRALIA MAKES BOUNCY PITCHES AND TOURING NATIONS COMING WITH NO PLAN AND PROPER PREPARTION IN AUSTRALIA MEANS NOBODY HAS BEATEN THEM BARRING INDIA.
---------------------------------------------
AND OVERCONFIDENT ENGLAND BIT THE DUST. WHY? THEY PLAYED IN ENGLAND AND SHOWED UP THINKING THEY KNOW CONDITIONS AS THEIR PLAYERS PLAY IPL. IPL HAPPENS IN SUMMER. THIS IS BEGINNING OF WINTER. AND THAT IS T-20, A FOUR HOUR MATCH TO 9 HOUR 50 OVER MATCH!
------------------------------
SO IF YOU LOOK DEEP, YOU KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG.

THE PROBLEM WHY IT HURTS IS TOO MUCH WAIT. ONCE IN 4 YEARS AND ONE OFF? COME ON NOW. WE ARE IN A MODERN ERA.
------------------------------------------------------
I CAME TO KNOW ALL THIS FROM USA SPORTS!! THE METHOD TO MADNESS!!!

-----------------------
poker is not a perfect game man.
---------
you have to study your opponent and know how he is calling based on that you adjust your range is the point. what type of player he is, is what you have to determine. all poker sites say that no matter what pot-odds, equity, bet size that and this you decide.
-------------
a player will call based on his position,stack size and stage at the tournament. he is not gonna play the same way at different stages,positions and stack sizes. he will alter his bet sizes and also his bluffs and adjust his range. you also adjust yours based on that player or players.
-------------------
and HOPE the cards FALL ON YOUR SIDE RATHER THAN THEIRS.
-----------------
IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS OF PRACTICE AND EASIER SAID THAN DONE FOR SURE.
---------------
LITTLE SAID HE WAS PLAYING 5000 HANDS PER DAY. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN 3 TO 4 MILLION HANDS( WHICH IS 4 YEARS 12 HOURS WORK PER DAY ONLINE PLAYING MULTI-TABLES AT 60 HANDS PER HOUR) LIVE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE AS YOU CAN PLAY MAX 30).
-----------------
HE STARTED YOUNG AND HAS GRINDED. SO HE HAS TIME.
-------------------
FOR NEW-BEES IT IS BABY STEPS. AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW THESE RANGES AT 10 STACK SIZES AND 9 POSITIONS. THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 169 STARTING HANDS IN THAT CUBE.
----------------------
YOU ARE NOT GONNA PLUG AND STUDY IN GTO RIGHT AWAY AS YOU NEED THAT SOFTWARE AND YOU HAVE TO BUY. NOT SURE POKER COACHING PROVIDES IT ONLINE.
-----------------------------
IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MASTER THOSE PRE-FLOP CHARTS THAT ARE GIVEN FREE. THEY ARE JUST GUIDELINES AND CANT BE BY-HEARTED. ALSO PUSH FOLD CHART AND QUIZZ.
------------------
SO POKER IS BEATING YOUR OPPONENT.
-----------------------
NOW WITH SOLVER INVOLVED, ANALYTICAL AND ALSO STATSTICAL.
MEANING THEY KNOW HOW MANY TIMES 10/10 FLOPS A SET BASED ON STATSTICS AS SOLVER IS MORE MATHEMATICAL THAN REALITY( IT HAS FEEDER FROM EXPERTS). AND MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY IS NOT THAT USEFUL. IT IS USEFUL BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.
-----------------------
ONCE YOU NAIL THE MATH, PRE-FLOP CHARTS AND KNOW THEM ROUGHLY AT THESE POSITIONS AND STACK SIZES.
THEN YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON EXPLOITATIVE( WHICH COMES BY REAL PRACTICE AND NOT STUDYING AT TABLE).
AND BRAVE TO BLUFF ALL THE TIME AS THERE IS MASSIVE VARIANCE.
YOU WILL GO DOWN 5K IN ORDER TO WIN 15K.
------------------------------------
YOU NEED TO READY TO LOSE AND HAVE PROPER BANKROLL.
YOU NEED TO HAVE MONEY COMING INN SO THAT YOU LOSE 1000 DOLLARS IN A SESSION. YOU EITHER TAKE 2 WEEKS OFF TO GET THAT MONEY OR DO NOT RISK SO MUCH!!
----------------------------------
THESE ARE ELITE PLAYERS AND THEY BUY IN 25000 K LIKE IT IS NOTHING. THAT IS NOT FOR ORDINARY MORTALS.
I SEE 1 DOLLAR AND 2 DOLLAR POT SIZE BLOWS TO 1000! SO IT GETS EXPONENTIAL JUST LIKE THAT.
------------------------------
HE IS A TREMENDOUS PLAYER AS HE HAS BEEN DOWN ONLY 25K IT SEEMS. JARVIS ANOTHER GUY WHO SAID HE WAS NEVER BAD BEAT.
----------------------------
BUT NEGRENEU KEPT IT REAL AND SAID I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION DOWN INTHAT INTERVIEW AND HIS 12 MILLION WIN CAME NEARLY A DECADE AGO.
---------------------------
IN HIS 25000 DOLLAR BUY INN AN OPPONENT HAD GONE IN 9 TIMES WITHIN FIRST 2 HOURS ALREADY! 9 BULLETS.
THAT MEANS HE BLEW 250K ALREADY. WHICH IS A COLLEGE BUDGET AT ELITE COLLEGES IN USA.
---------------------------
SO YOU HAVE TO START AT BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP AND IT HELPS FOR PEOPLE WHO START YOUNG WITH NO BURDEN AS TIME ON THEIR SIDE AND THEY CAN AFFORD TO BLOW 4 HOURS GRINDING, 4 YEARS MASTERING!!!
----------------------------
THE 200 DOLLAR EARNING IS ELITE OF ELITE. YOU HAVE TO GET MONEY FORM OPPONENTS WHO ARE ALSO THERE TO WIN.
-------------------------
THIS IS VERY HARD BECAUSE IF YOU GET FINANCIAL DEGREE IT PAYS 180K WITH THAT 250K FOR STARTERS AND USA IS THE BIG BOSS.
--------------------------
SO IF YOU ARE VERY WELL ENDOWED IN BLOWING MONEY YOU HAVE TO GO FOR IT AS LOSS IS PAINFUL.
HE HAS SPENT LOT OF TIME TO DEAL WITH THEM DOWNSWINGS.
-------------------------
THESE TOP PROS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. THEY BLOW 250K IN BUY INN LIKE IT IS NOTHING AND TOP OF THE TOP GO TILL MILLION N 2!
--------------------------
IT CAN BE DEADLY BECAUSE 10 CENT GAMES POT CAN BLOW TILL 100 DOLLARS IN NO TIME.
------------------------
SO YOU HAVE TO START ROCK BOTTOM AND START CLIMBING UP!!
------------------------
AND HE ALSO SAID THAT HE BROUGHT ALL BOOKS WHILE WORKING AND ALSO PAID 25K TO GET COACHED BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED PLAYING TO MAKE MONEY IN VEGAS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THAT NOW.
HE WAS 19 SO IT WORKED OUT.
--------------------------------
THERE ARE OTHER FIELDS: MUSIC, SPORTS ETC ETC. KEY IS IF YOU LIKE IT YOU MUST LATCH ON TO IT WHEN YOUNG SO YO HAVE TIME ON YOUR SIDE.
----------------------
OTHERWISE THIS WILL BE JUST MAX 100 DOLLAR HOBBY PER WEEK, IF YOU CAN SPARE THAT MATCH. BECAUSE YOU CAN BE DOWN 100 DOLLARS IN MINUTES.
-----------------------
I NOTICED THAT!!
--------------------------
I GOT ROYAL FLUSH IN BEGINNING PART OF TOURNAMENT IN THE VERY FIRST MONTY I TOUCHED POKER IN MY LIFE!!!
IT DID NOT COME AT FINAL TABLE.
AND I ALSO LOST TO ROYAL FLUSH AT THE FINAL TABLE IN 10 CENT BUY IN TOURNAMENT. THE PRIZE MONEY WAS 10 DOLLARS. I GOT 7.5 HE GOT 10. SO NO BIG DEAL.
-------------------------------
TOURNAMENT MULTI-ENTRIES WILL HURT YOU WHEN YOU CANT GET A BREAK WITH GOOD CARDS AND ANOTHER SIDE IS YOU LOSE WITH GOOD CARDS. YOU GET AK,QQ,AJ,AA YOU ARE GONNA FOLD IF OPPONENT GOES ALL INN? IT IS HARD TO GET THEM TO START WITH. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE GONNA GO ALL INN.
-----------------------
CASH GAMES IS ALSO SAME ONE OR TWO HOURS YOU RUN IN TO BAD BEATS YOU ARE DOWN 100 DOLLARS IN 10 CENTS/25 CENTS AND DOWN 1000 DOLLAR IN 2 DOLLAR/5 DOLLARS AND DOWN 10000 HOURS IN MERE 100 DOLLAR/200 DOLLAR BLINDS!

THE RISK SHOULD BE 1% OF YOUR SAVINGS: FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE SAVING 10000 DOLLARS IN USA PER YEAR AND BANK GAVE YOU 5%(WISHFUL THINKING).
YOU RISK 500 DOLLAR PER ANNUM. MAKE IT 750 DOLLARS TO BE GENEROUS AKA 2 DOLLARS PER DAY. THATS IT. PLAY 24, 10 CENT TOURNAMENTS AND SEE IF YOU CAN WIN 10 PER DAY( AKA IN THE MONEY) TAKE IT FROM THERE. ANY JUMP WILL SET YOU BACK INSTANTLY!!! AND YOU WILL BE SLOWED DOWN BY 5 TIMES.
----------------------------
POKER IS NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN. THERE ARE OTHER FIELDS WHERE YOU CAN CRACK 6 FIG SALARIES FOR SAME INVESTMENT: DOCTORS, LAWYERS, STEM FIELD WHERE EVERYTHING IS FREE IN USA.
---------------------------
SPORTS FREE IN USA, IF YOU CAN THROW THE BASE BALL AT 85 MPH YOU ARE INN AND THEY WILL DO THE REST 5 MILES PER HOUR.
---------------------------
IN THE WHOLE WORLD USA IS THE ONLY PLACE ( UK IS SLEEPING TO MY CHAGRIN) WHERE YOU CAN GET AN OFFER YOU CANT REFUSE.
NOT IN OTHER PLACES!!!
-------------------------
SO ONUS IS ON YOU.
MAD MONEY JIM CRAMER SAID I LOST 300 MIL OUT OF 400 MIL AND WALKED AWAY WITH 100 MIL BEFORE BUBBLE BURST AND THAT 100 MIL TOOK ME HERE.
SOME GOT HOSED IN 2008 CRISIS AND NOW YOU SEE STOCK MARKET CANT BUY A DIP DESPITE WARS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHAT NOT.
AND NATION BURIED IN DEBT( 33 TRIL N COUNTING) WHEN FINANCIAL CRISIS HIT USA DEBT WAS MERE 11 TRIL.
------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS STOCK MARKET RUN HAS DEFIED ALL ODDS AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW WORLD CAN HAVE DEBT AND STILL BE MERRY!!
---------------------------------
POKER ALWAYS HAS BEEN HIGH STAKES. THAT LONGEST POKER RUN IN THAT THEATER IN PHEONIX BIRD CAGE( A SMALL DINGY THEATERE) HAD 1000 DOLLAR BUY INN IN THOSE DAYS ( MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE ARE OTHER GAMBLING AREAS EVEN IN CARDS: I NEED TO CHECK BACARAT OR CHINESE HOW MUCH THEY BET.
---------------------
AND HORSE BETTING WHERE HONG KONG TURF CLUB HAVE NEARLY 20 BIL REVENUE. HK IS SMALLER THAN NYK OK?
--------------------------------------
A CLUB MAKES MORE THAN LAS VEGAS. WELL HK IS MUCH BIGGER THAN VGAS.
---------------------------------------------------
AND MACAU GAMBLING REVENUE IS TOUCHING 50 BIL BY 2026( 38 NOW) COMPARED TO 20 BIL LAS VEGAS.
MACAU HAS ONLY 50K CAPACITY WITH MERE 200 HOTELS COMPARED TO LAS VEGAS 130K WITH NEARLY 400 HOTELS.
----------------------------------------
SO THE CHINESE ARE GOING BERSERK AND THEY ARE JUST GETTING STARTED.
THE JAPANESE GOT OLD AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME. GERMANS LOVE GAMBLING TOO BUT NOT AT CHINESE LEVEL.
--------------------------------------------
I WROTE A BOOK!!!
@@joeseddit errr, no. I think, based on my understanding of GTO poker, @king_has_no_clothskul8635 has it incorrect. The ranges are set by GTO--Each position has a range of hands that any player should fold/call/raise/reraise with to maximize EV. Therefore, depending on your opponent's position and their action you can assign a range of hands to them and play accordingly. A player's tendencies can cause you to shift them a bit, sure. But the base ranges themselves are set off the results of millions of simulations to find the optimal action for each hand at each position.
Continue bet if your range hits the flop
I have a bad habit of trying for one more big pot before the bubble and end up often busting. Trying to break that
ANY IMPROVEMENT? CANT BE BLAMED AS YOU ARE GOING FOR TOP SPOT AND NOT JUST BEING IN THE MONEY WHICH ONLY RECOVERS YOUR BUY-INN AT MOST. I LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I DID THAT. BUT IT HURTS EVEN FOR A DOLLAR BUY-INNS!!!
When to bet tiny sounds fun.
Try to be Heads Up In Position
Thumbs up thanks
Thank you too!
Someone send this video to Wesley
On a heavily coordinated board like that, FOLD
Fold and save your money

Hi Jonathan
Hello!
Hi
@jonathan: I’m confused at about 13:05 you are giving “Example 4”
K82 rainbow UTG vs BTN.
I thought this would be similar to K75 rainbow from LJ vs BTN-and on K75, I believe we should be RANGE BETTING and LARGE-and you said we should bet frequently and small.
Am I missing something? Is K75 very substantially different from K82 r? Or is the issue that UTG opener is very different from LJ?
Or are you talking in this video about 30 BB stack depth at tournaments? Whereas I mostly study cash and tend to focus on 200BB depth? I suspect this might be aimed at 30BB depth because later you say this depends on your having enough kings in your range including K7s-which I am definitely not opening from UTG at 200 BB depth!
First! Good morning Jonathan and everyone! 😊
Morning!
Fold
If your short stack thats the best option
IN POKER BIG SHARK EATS SMALL SHARK. WELL, THAT IS TRUE IN REAL LIFE AS WELL.
Liked for grammar
"as long as" is gramatically fine there; the grammar checks are not that accurate
Tiny in the future😊
"you can't win if you check" is an untrue statement. You win by avoiding a situation where you trap yourself against someone who hit their range on the 8-9-6 board. It is easy for 2 bb to have 2 pair or beter and to check to you and allow you to c-bet bluff your missed range. Checking is a win, in that scenario.
Explain properly tipping dealers in cash games.
You think you’re speaking slowly enough because of the pauses between your sentences but when you speak, you’re speaking way too fast. Please speak slower if you can. It would be much more helpful. Thanks.
I 5-bet raise when i see your grammar mistakes.
I would just like to say Hi!
Hi Shawn!
That`s a lot of BS on one Setting.
