Thanks for posting these kind of videos ... Got a big one 2500 buy in and thats the largest buy in i have ever done ... took 17th in a tournament for 8 grand last month ..i really wanna crack the 5 digit payout sometime .... I mostly play tight but aggressive... anyway much appreciated.
I just bought your book sir and so far 40 pages in it is a great read and I will encourage everyone that wants to learn how to play GTO poker with your knowledge to get the book!
The tilt thing resonates with me. Years ago, when I was very inexperienced, I was playing an online cash game and flopped two pair, got my stack in, and got outdrawn. Then I rebought, tilted off another buy in, and was so mad that that beat cost me two buy ins. Wow, was that a loser mindset. Great advice and video, as always.
@@FlappyBelly Certainly so, but I can’t control how he plays or what the dealer throws out there. I can only control how I respond, which has definitely vastly improved since the time in which this incident that I mentioned occurred.
Thanks, Johnathan! I love your videos, books and other coaching materials. All I know about good poker comes from you! I would like to share my small success - I won the Ladies Event during Polish Poker Championships early this month! I still have a lot to do but I really feel I am making progress! 🌹🌹🌹
Jonathan, I really like the way you explain the "why" behind the charts. I also appreciate how you discuss the other factors that you should consider, such as where we are in the tournament and payout implications. I am really struggling to learn how to make the charts work for me. Your explanations help. Thank you.
I came 4th the other day in a pko . When there was about 30ish players i lost 2 flips almost in a row. 1st i had A 9 s against a shorter stack with aj off. A hand or 2 later i had 10s against a lower pair(cant remember their pair) that caught a set on the river. So i was left with less then a blind. Well i picked my spots and fought my way to 4th.
I'm not a tournament player, but this past week i came in 1st, 21st, 1st, and 1st. I'm just getting started, and anything Jonathan can offer to help me improve in the future, I'm definitely going to listen to, and study from.
8:40 so a question! let say If u 3bet the 2bb raise from the Btn with J5o to 5.5bb and get a call, heads up to the flop which is J 3 Q and opponent bet for 6bb what would u do? then u basically risk all Ur stack and go all in with J5o or just fold Ur pair? which he can be bluffing or he can have a Q or a J with a better kicker or also an ace or an king which might come on the turn or the river and U'll get knocked out with J5o ?! its honestly a question not that professional to realize how to play this situations ?! thanks
If you're still live, I would love if you had basic clue on the game but can only play 1 evening a week. But can study 30mins a day where would you focus your time to maximise improvement and efficiency of your time
Hey Johnathon what about when opponents keep making horrible calls and beating you. Should you just quit that site or game. I’m talking at an alarming rate like 80%+.
Im always scared to play the Ax low. I like to shove with mid suited connectors because i feel like i almost always have 2 live cards. Before i used to shove any A when i was short stacked and got called with bigger A every time
Very nice, thanks for that interesting video. I subscribed short time ago with a standard membership on pokercoaching. Unfortunately the available classes in the membership area is very poor but at least there's a lot of free material outside.
I'm a little puzzled by the 3-bet range you show at 2:00. A8o looks like 100% 3bet, and 88 is also strongly 3-bet. This seems to make you 8-heavy in your 3-bet range. With the exception of Q9 vs. Q8, you 3-bet all the hands containing an 8 more than the equivalent hands with 9s. Why would 99 never raise but 88 does so around half the time? As a computer expert, this seems to me to be an aberration of feedback, somehow. I could see the 99 vs 88 difference if we had a lot fewer other 8s in our 3-bet range and we needed to get some in there for balance, but that's not the case. I do know that these algorithms sometimes get some weird feedback, and I'm starting to suspect that this is one case.
These arent perfect ranges. Jonathan Little is good but he isnt the best poker coach of all time. You look at different coaching sites ranges they would be similar but they wouldnt be the same.There is more than one set of ranges that can be pretty balanced and profitable but some are closer to equlibrium than others.
The are perhaps without accounting for post flop at a very high level as would an advanced Solver, but they might be better for practical use for some players especially begginers where they cant play anywhere close to the computer, and simplifying a stragey often times when you calculate the EV it doesnt actually loose that much EV when you simplify it. If PIOs optimal strategy is to have 5 bets sizes on the flop but you simpify it by making it use only 1 size the EV loss isnt actually that significant
I get a big stack early and then I punt it at the final 2-3 tables. I realized people play tricky at later stages because they all have good abc poker skills. Exploiting is the best way to win.
Jonathan, thank you for your great insight. Your quite the professional. Your content is the best. I really appreciate your sharing of your knowledge. You make the game interesting and worthwhile! Again 🙏 thanks.
I try to follow every single one of your tips to a tee but I consistently run into bad beats. Which I know is apart of variance in poker. But final table $50 tournament, 4 left: 3 get paid. I’m 3rd largest stack. I 3-bet jam AA against UTG raiders, I get called off against Q4o, and the flop comes Q 4 4. I just don’t understand who plays for 5 hours and decides this is the hand that they call off against me (TAG)
jonanthan why you are not playing triton series man? After those two wins, he should play these tournaments. the triton guys do not conduct it in usa for what reason i dont know. they only do it in london, montecarlo,vietname,cyprus, south korea now. ------------- these american high stake regulars need to play them.
I'm reminded of the last tournament I played. A guy sat down to my left and was acting as if he was looking for a double up or reenter. To his credit, his acting worked and I was all-in drawing to 6 outs. When I hit, he absolutely lost his shit and bought in and busted twice more that I know of in the following 20 minutes.
Lol. Was just thinking how is that all these big time players manage to overcome the variance of the inevitable shove fest in the latter stages to actually win worthwhile money while i keep getting busted out with little or nothing to show for my "deep" run except the loss of 4 hours of my life. Was beginning to attribute it to luck. Turns out i just need to be better.
No, there is a lot of luck. IIRC, Daniel Negreanu, one of the best players in the world, has had 3 losing WSOPs in a row. Tournament players are always on a downswing until they hit a big one.
Are poker tournaments really booming? Online the numbers seem way down. Even in Vegas a lot of the low stakes rooms have closed down. I know WSOP was up but I feel that was more pent up demand due to the pandemic.
What annoys the piss outta me is the super short stacks always seem to chip up close to the bubble. Then it gets harder and harder to get them to bust before the min cash.
Few months ago i was playing 8ball pool and sunday milloin sats at the same time, got my tickets, but my teammates were steaming. Will not do again, promise

We've all been there brother, some of us more than once 😂
But isn't the loser mindset the person who tries to outdraw you?

Yeah 99 vs AJo is indeed a flip but overpair against lesser pair is 80 vs 20

Question- how many people entered the tournaments you placed first in?
You might wanna retire from tournament poker then because you've spent all your lifetime rungood
I am a tournament player and the past week I got 1475th, 903rd, 2274th, 822nd, 4091st, 551st, 987th, 357th, 994th.

Colorblind.. can't tell the difference between 3bet and call.
Can you change the colors in the app?
Such a wealth of cutting-edge information in these videos. Thanks for the effort you put in to help others play better poker.
I'm glad you find them helpful! Thanks for saying so 🙏
Going to the lodge $300 buy in tourney, 1st live tournament, thanks for the tips, hopefully I do well
The Mini Monster is a helluva first tournament. Good luck!

Looking for Vegas tournies on Saturdays 250$ or less. In town for the weekend and Saturdays my day for poker. Any suggestions?
Golden Nugget
I find running Jonathan's videos at 75% speed he sounds like a normal person... Wish it had 85% speed option.
Could the right image at 1:30+ be BB vs BTN open?
For 5 what if your playin go 2 tourneys at once

Idk the CO range but maybe it's more 9x heavy and just folds more 8x so with an 8 you unblock 9x that are opens but autofold to a 3bet

I’ve started playing poker 3 months ago and have played about 10 tournaments and finally got 3rd last week.
I get a big stack early and then I punt it at the final 2-3 tables. I realized people play tricky at later stages because they all have good abc poker skills.
Exploiting is the best way to win.
Great info Sir.. thank you! I’m a fish in a big pond and need this kind of poker strategy..
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Jonathan little
You're welcome Ciaran!
The 3bet color and the call color are basically identical on the charts thanks to my colorblindness. Another excuse I can use for not studying 😂
Diligence is the mother of good fortune
What annoys the piss outta me is the super short stacks always seem to chip up close to the bubble. Then it gets harder and harder to get them to bust before the min cash.
I wish some of these charts were not red/green for us colorblind people. Some are easy to see and others not
I thought the definition for a short stack is 10 BB or less and not 40 BB stack

It's not exactly rigged so much as extremely easy to cheat.
Live in casino games are still my favorite.
