What a great video! We lowstakes pokerplayers are lucky with such a great content creator. Thanks Marc for your great work you put into the channel. (and Gethen as well of course) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've made thousands over the years playing live but alcohol took most of the profits before I got out of the building. I drink less these days cos I'm getting old, so I'm planning on incorporating live back into my game...I plan on binging all of your content over the next couple weeks.
Great video. I usually play with the same regs all the time. The thing for me is, you end up betting river with so many bluffs, into range that has so many single pairs, people start calling me down lighter and also start playing strong made hands in a more passive way, because they know, I will put the money in for them, so they dont need to raise flop or turn. I dont think there are complicated thoughts behind this, Big Jeremy in seat 8 just tells himself, he cant have it all the time. How would you choose your give ups?
Yeah, it is getting tough if good regs start to slowplay their monsters in a way that they seem capped but really aren't. (Like just calling flop and turn bets with a set)
I'm gonna unsubscribe to all other poker channels on YT and see where this one leads me. I love how Thought process is constantly hammered in and how I'm kept on track by not being confused with all sorts of esoteric terminology and concepts. Thanks for all the great content!

Is there any time you give up on a bluff? From various videos it seems like other than showdown value, it's a triple barrel unless the opponent raises you. I'm just trying to clarify whether I'm applying the strategies you teach correctly, perfectly fine if triple barreling no matter what, unless the opponent raises or you have a showdown value hand, is the way to go, just carious. Also too, maybe I'm defending wrong but I feel like I make more and have a better session when I cbet most flops out of position, most opponents play a much wider calling range than the preflop raisers raising range, adding the fact that most people play their draws too passively and their value to straight forward, I don't see the issue? It just seems so wrong to check fold a flop that you feel you can when so often either with a cbet or a barrel.
Thanks great video, I want to understand though at 14:19 when asked about opponent's range if Ad hits the river he says villains range now includes Ace-x of hearts, not sure why v's range would change based on what's on the river
im not entirely sure but maybe because you're not blocking aces and its plausible the villain has called all the way to the river following a nut flush with Ax of hearts but has now maybe made top pair on the river or something like two pair with hands like A10x that called with top pair top kicker on the flop.
Great vid. I went back and read a section from a very popular poker book about c-betting and holy smokes was it a convoluted mess. You guys have a great process and it really streamlines decision making and gets us close to ‘best play’ in a comfortable way. I won 57bb/hour at the VERY fishy $1/$1 game I played last night thanks to the Hungry Horse method. 😂
with A on river, u still want to target when its loads more combos of random pp's and Tx, than the few combos u mentioned on the A, so u size down, a size, so that 2 paired river will raise jam you, wih ur 88

It would have been really helpfull to add your strategy to some unfavourable river cards.. say a 10 or a heart? Would you go into check fold mode when bluffing?
In my humble, if you’re holding Qd,Jd on the board of 10h,8h,5d,2s,Ad I think this is a very hard hand to bluff. I think it’s truly who I’m playing against is what’s going to determined if I’m going to bluff this spot or not If my opponent is tight and he calls me with a tight range, I can’t really put him on a 10x unless A,10 suited But if he calls with a wider range, I can put him on a 10x range. 10,9 suited, 10, 8 suited or even 10,7 suited and with Ax range as well.
I like to add one more thing. If you do bluff in this hand and get called down by whatever, now you can use your image to value bet on the River even more and higher chance you’ll get paid off easier because people thinking you’re trying to bluff again. But again it’s really depends on that person.
Holy shit. So I'm a low stakes winner and I help friends take their poker game from "random idiot who doesn't know anything" to learning how to actually approach the game. This is the first time in my 15 years of poker study that I've seen a coach talk about "Be able to articulate your thought process out loud with words" which is the entire foundation of how I help my friends. Cool to say, and obviously, I WILDLY AGREE!
I log out of my current training platform when you drop videos to watch them. How much longer until the membership is available so I can switch over? This is so much easier to digest without zoning out.
1. Why are most of your preferred 3b sizings 4x ip, vs 3-3.5x? 2. Could you make a video showing adjustments (if any) at 100bb effective stack vs 200bb effective stack? 3. What about a video showing leaks/exploits in a 3b pot oop?
for sizing - choose the size that accomplishes our goals. if we're going to 3b a very tight range and our opponent calls way too much, use bigger sizes. if we just want to iso and want to be 3b a lot and our opponent has a big fold button post, maybe we want to use a wider range and go 3x. size is just a function of what we want to accomplish, there is no "correct" size, the range just adjusts with the size.
I play livegames with an hourly high hand bonus. How can we deviate when they never going to raise big hands on our flop cbets since they want to bring their big hands to the river?
Hey I’m really learning a lot I have a more general question. Would it be wrong to apply these strategies at 1 3 where people are not usually deep enough to overbet turn and still have enough behind to continue bluffing. Also sometimes when you say you try to get top pair to fold I feel like at 1 3 top pair will never fold. As a result I tend to just play super tight and barely bluff and just try to get paid off with all my value. Do you think this is the wrong approach to the stack size issue and people calling very light?
Also after people see how you play don’t they start to adapt and call a lot lighter. I feel like once people at the table label me as very aggressive they call even lighter than they normally would which makes it even harder to bluff. Thanks for taking the time to read
This is great information I been following you channel for a while and I'm starting to understand it I'd like to play online small stakes cash games any suggestions?
I doubted but now I know that Hungry Horse is awesome. Damn. A quick question/observation: if we use different sizing for value and bluff, this could be exploited by good regs. So up to what level do we do this? 2/5? 5/10?
just because we’re using diff sizes doesn’t mean they know what we’re doing. it’s not like we’re going big with bluffs always, or big with value always. depends on their range and manipulating them to do what we want. even against “good” regs.
I’ve typically been 3 betting to a 3x sizing in position to a raiser. Should I be going 4x more often? I’ve generally gone 4x or 4.5x if I’m out of position like in the blinds
sizing is just a function of how the player is responding and what we want to accomplish! if the player is calling way too wide, we may want to use a tight range with a large size and just value them to death. if a player is fit or fold post, we may want to 3b very small and just get pot heads up and be able to win more than our fair share of hands with a very wide range.
Great stuff 🎉not to rag on Lexo poker but said he was terrible and a nit since I first seen him play it’s so funny how peeps think there good and there soo bad. 😂
Hi guys, recent subscriber. Love the content and the vibe. I have a question about the example hands used in this video though. In both cases on the river you are fully polarized after betting three streets. Doesn't this mean that you have to use larger sizes by default? Also, it seems that you are using different sizes depending on the the hands that you're targeting in your opponent's range. That's all well and good, but the problem is that varying your bet size according to your hand (which is ultimately what you were doing in some of the examples in this video) is giving away information quite transparently. If you played this way against an observant villain then over time they would figure this out and be able to play very well against you as a result. What I believe you should do, when polarized with either value hands or bluffs, is use the same size in both cases, and in general that is going to be a large size. That way your opponent cannot tell whether you have a value hand or a bluff according to the bet size you use. Of course this means losing some value when we know our opponent is capped and we are going to jam the river, but that is the price that's necessary to pay in order to have properly balanced ranges.
this is too deep to get into in a youtube reply. but no one is balanced. not you, not me, not doug polk. it is incredibly hard to play even close to balanced. and in live poker - people are generally way less skilled. even observant players will have NO CLUE what we are doing. it’s not like we’re blanket going big with value, or big with bluffs, or whatever. we are targeting based on what we want to happen. no one will figure that out. ever.
@@hungryhorsepoker Okay, thanks for the reply. To be honest I would notice this fairly quickly in a cash game (for example, in a few sessions vs an opponent who was doing it). Using smaller sizes on the river after having bet flop and turn would set off major alarm bells for me. Targeting based on what you want to happen is giving away information about your hand in my opinion. But I do agree with the sentiment of what you're saying and that in general players are not this observant and will not know what you're doing. I really like your content, keep it up!
we haven’t announced details yet! the membership program will be launching in oct / nov, not sep. right now we’re running our last bootcamp. you’ll be the first to know when details are released
we say this in every video - it doesn’t matter. process > results. always. resist scratching the curiosity itch and focus on the thought process (if your goal is getting really really good)
its a travesty not jamming with set of 88 vs a fish, fish is good at one thing, and that's putting you on AK, and not folding, flushdraw missed, fish might thnk that matters, he might also think "ive put in too much to fold now" Pretty sure jamming is the only option, should mb bet a bit more on turn, to not have a crazy overbet size. With QJs, u do the opposite, size down on the turn, to have the big overbet
Common Mistakes ⭐ Not exploiting hard enough ⭐ Acting before thinky. Stop and Think. ⭐ Not asking the right questions ⭐ Not asking the inverse question. "Invert, always invert' Charlie Munger
you really think a fish´s 3 bet calling range is 89s but not 8Ts, because he knows one-gapper are inferior`? At least the fish in Berlin cashgames have no idea about things like that, that´s why they are fish! I Remember a 4 bet pot, where all the money goes in on the flop and the fish announces he has "the pig" - and flopped two pair (the pig is 9 3 off)...
There's literally only 1 step: Be the preflop aggessor. They win 90% of the pots. Mopes call preflop while crushers are ALWAYS raising. Be the open raiser or 3-bettor. That's it. Now stop watching RUclips and go crush
Let me preface this by admitting that from what I’ve watched so far of HHP, it *does* seem like you pick out some more effective exploits than many of the other youtubers. Nevertheless, I generally an issue with the vague calling people fish aspect when there’s significant overlap between the anti-fish strategies and the symptoms of fishiness. E.g., when you’re the aggressor, you’ll take a size that exploits the fact that fish “over fold” when facing that bet in that spot. But when you’re on the opposite side facing the aggression, you’ll say that you should always fold because the population underbluff those spots. Are the “fish” really fish if they’re actually taking the correct response to the population tendencies? Similarly, your fish’s cutoff opening range here is pretty much the same as some version of upswings CO RFI range. Granted, there’s a difference between individual components of the strategy and the full strategy (e.g., calling the perfect range on the turn is actually bad if you’re going to overfold the river). But as a blanket term, it’s not particularly helpful to the viewer. At least this video defines a bit of the bad-play symptoms in more detail than some other videos (e.g., calling the 3bet too wide and not 4betting enough), but it’s still a bit jarring. It’d be cool if someone went through the symptoms of fishery and evaluated which fishy symptoms are actually good exploits against the population (not the super pros) and which are bad ones.
This isn't for online poker is it? If you are playing NL 500 online you would practically never see anything this video shows like 4x or 5x open raises or 4x 3-bet size in position. You would mostly go against pros. Not even in NL2 online you would see this very often. Also those stacks would be very big for online play.
Absolutely love the random needles at Phil Hellmuth. The guy is the biggest whale in the history of poker, but all the fish put him on the pedestal and think he's great at the game. Find any average 1/3 reg at the casino, have him enter as many WSOP events as Phil has played (with some of the same player pools) and I guarantee that player will have as many if not more bracelets than Phil. The amount of bracelets doesn't mean much when you literally have entered more WSOPs that any other player by a large margin and all your victories for the most part were pre 2000 when 90% of the field were whales who put in 300bbs w/ 1 pair

In my humble, if you’re holding Qd,Jd on the board of 10h,8h,5d,2s,Ad
I think this is a very hard hand to bluff. I think it’s truly who I’m playing against is what’s going to determined if I’m going to bluff this spot or not
If my opponent is tight and he calls me with a tight range, I can’t really put him on a 10x unless A,10 suited
But if he calls with a wider range, I can put him on a 10x range. 10,9 suited, 10, 8 suited or even 10,7 suited and with Ax range as well.
I like to add one more thing. If you do bluff in this hand and get called down by whatever, now you can use your image to value bet on the River even more and higher chance you’ll get paid off easier because people thinking you’re trying to bluff again. But again it’s really depends on that person.

@@hungryhorsepoker Okay, thanks for the reply. To be honest I would notice this fairly quickly in a cash game (for example, in a few sessions vs an opponent who was doing it). Using smaller sizes on the river after having bet flop and turn would set off major alarm bells for me. Targeting based on what you want to happen is giving away information about your hand in my opinion. But I do agree with the sentiment of what you're saying and that in general players are not this observant and will not know what you're doing. I really like your content, keep it up!
Gun to head - what it takes to fold and go right under - fucking brilliant bro. Thank you
another v good vid
hey I played poker with this guy!
Signed up couple of weeks ago for September program and still haven’t heard from you! What’s up 😊
we haven’t announced details yet! the membership program will be launching in oct / nov, not sep. right now we’re running our last bootcamp. you’ll be the first to know when details are released
@@hungryhorsepoker can’t wait 😢
It is Dug Poke.
I thought it was spelled Vanessa Selbst
Good video
My thought process this hand is
1 get the money in
2 find a nice buffet to spend on the money
That picture of hellmuth. Omg is it perfect for that diva
How important is calibration? I feel like I give it the college try but am really inefficient.
so important! but calibration is just reps reps reps. the more reps you get, the better you get at calibrating
What do you have against poor Lex-O? Putting his skills on blast!
Would 9 J of heart fold to a $1,260 shove after flop?
Anyway to show what the villain actually has? Then we get to see how good the range selection is.
we say this in every video - it doesn’t matter. process > results. always. resist scratching the curiosity itch and focus on the thought process (if your goal is getting really really good)
Damn I tried this bluffed a fish but they still called lol with 4 card flush board with facecards
its a travesty not jamming with set of 88 vs a fish, fish is good at one thing, and that's putting you on AK, and not folding, flushdraw missed, fish might thnk that matters, he might also think "ive put in too much to fold now" Pretty sure jamming is the only option, should mb bet a bit more on turn, to not have a crazy overbet size. With QJs, u do the opposite, size down on the turn, to have the big overbet
What’s up my man. You gave up on that low stakes poker challenge?
i post a low stakes video every thursday….
I always click like on these videos so more people will watch them and get better at the pokerz, so I'll make less money. 😢
don't worry, most will say it doesn't work!
Your telling me the book I just bought from Lex-O on how to crush low steaks is a sham…?

Oh man we're savaging on Lex over here? 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious.
Love the hungry horse! Sweet baby there!!
What poker room tho? After the scandal with GG and the super users I just dont know anymore
live.
Not many play online these days.
Does your thumbnail say, “blurred text”, “another text” pixelated
i believe so. i gave these notes to our thumb editor and he took them very literally 😂
Yo Squish, you still writing music?
no i’m too busy with all these videos
I knew you were an artist in some capacity
I missed Gethen!
me too
He is legend, must come back.
“They never fold with top pair”
“They always fold when I have value”
This is what keeps the poker economy alive….
crazy once you see it right!
Is my guy telling lex poker a fish? 😂😂😂
you really think a fish´s 3 bet calling range is 89s but not 8Ts, because he knows one-gapper are inferior`? At least the fish in Berlin cashgames have no idea about things like that, that´s why they are fish! I Remember a 4 bet pot, where all the money goes in on the flop and the fish announces he has "the pig" - and flopped two pair (the pig is 9 3 off)...
Nice video but annoying with that melodi running behind
Oh shit shots at lexo
There's literally only 1 step: Be the preflop aggessor. They win 90% of the pots. Mopes call preflop while crushers are ALWAYS raising. Be the open raiser or 3-bettor. That's it. Now stop watching RUclips and go crush
Wrong…. There’s more to it than that to be a Crusher…
HAVE A GENTLE DAY.
I LIKE THAT. THAT WILL BE THE ONLY THING I TAKE FROM THIS VIDEO. THANKS
its the most important part
Let me preface this by admitting that from what I’ve watched so far of HHP, it *does* seem like you pick out some more effective exploits than many of the other youtubers.
Nevertheless, I generally an issue with the vague calling people fish aspect when there’s significant overlap between the anti-fish strategies and the symptoms of fishiness. E.g., when you’re the aggressor, you’ll take a size that exploits the fact that fish “over fold” when facing that bet in that spot. But when you’re on the opposite side facing the aggression, you’ll say that you should always fold because the population underbluff those spots. Are the “fish” really fish if they’re actually taking the correct response to the population tendencies? Similarly, your fish’s cutoff opening range here is pretty much the same as some version of upswings CO RFI range. Granted, there’s a difference between individual components of the strategy and the full strategy (e.g., calling the perfect range on the turn is actually bad if you’re going to overfold the river). But as a blanket term, it’s not particularly helpful to the viewer. At least this video defines a bit of the bad-play symptoms in more detail than some other videos (e.g., calling the 3bet too wide and not 4betting enough), but it’s still a bit jarring.
It’d be cool if someone went through the symptoms of fishery and evaluated which fishy symptoms are actually good exploits against the population (not the super pros) and which are bad ones.
Y’all goats I mean. Horses!
You need to wear dark glasses because it's obvious that you're a blast.
This isn't for online poker is it? If you are playing NL 500 online you would practically never see anything this video shows like 4x or 5x open raises or 4x 3-bet size in position. You would mostly go against pros. Not even in NL2 online you would see this very often. Also those stacks would be very big for online play.

Absolutely love the random needles at Phil Hellmuth. The guy is the biggest whale in the history of poker, but all the fish put him on the pedestal and think he's great at the game. Find any average 1/3 reg at the casino, have him enter as many WSOP events as Phil has played (with some of the same player pools) and I guarantee that player will have as many if not more bracelets than Phil. The amount of bracelets doesn't mean much when you literally have entered more WSOPs that any other player by a large margin and all your victories for the most part were pre 2000 when 90% of the field were whales who put in 300bbs w/ 1 pair
It's sooo mean but Phil is such a lolcow
Nobody breaks down a hand balloon chart like G-Money.
thats wut they say!
I always wondered if Lex O poker was really a winning player or he just lived off his youtube money and was closer to break even?
Or, hear me out. Donk 100% of the time oop and fold aces preflop every time.
yes!
Not even 30 seconds in and already laughing at the shade to Lex O. I thought he was decent. Like his vlogs, but I’m a 🐠 so what do I know 🐵
look at that sweet baby there!
Why are we trying to get the nuts to call us on the turn lmao wtf is this 😂
yoooooo
omg
@@hungryhorsepoker hey man, just wanted to say, i’ve been following the channel heavily lately, watched so many vids. i’ve been crushing it in dallas $1/$2 for about $120-$130 an hour. been seeing a lot of progress in my play. and you were a big help to that. thanks so much marc 🫡
