You changed my life man. Been delved in study for months mostly all with your teachings. I’ve turned $2,400 into $4,300 in 56 HRS of play at 1/2. You’re the 🐐
You need to really hit up JL's back catalogue. It's stuffed with things for you. You can join his Poker Coaching for free to get a feel too. Good variance to you from Canberra AU. =)
@xLTxHardcore rather than just betting according to pot and stack size, this added a dynamic to different bet sizing in all positions. While this is mentioned in every video, the content within this pot-odds video seemed to bring all that together. Now I'm not talking ONLY pot-odds, I'm talking about all of the content within this. .... not sure if im clear or not. It just really helped me to view the game more dynamically. It's also helped me view my opponents and what they may be playing.... easier for range placements. I hope I answered your question.
@@markcapestro5390Very well explained. My math isn't strong and I get nervous in game when I'm trying to use a new skill (information). It's hard for me to use the basics of odds, let alone the dynamics of exploitation. How do you practice or study these theoretical concepts before you get to the game?
On the example at 8:25 if you call with 94 best case turn improves equity but very likely it will still be trash. Let’s say it gives you a gut shot and river draw to the flush. Well what do you do if the other player bets pot? are you really getting the odds? I don’t understand how 94 can defend that flop… if you miss it’s auto fold and even if you slightly improve do you just call knowing you’re behind? Good opponents may not slow down when you call the flop
I watch your vids all the time. I have a full time job and I can't afford your premium content so I abuse all the free stuff.thanks john. Good luck to you
Let’s say button raises and you call BB with 67 suited. Flop comes Qh7c4c You check and the button bets polar, should you call and then reassess? Usually with the polar bets it’ll be either Qx or 56 and random flush draws especially considering overall board is pretty equal in equity to the BB calling range. If you call with middle pair how do you keep going when the board bricks out on draws but the button continuously applies aggression? How often do you call down with middle pair and how often are you good? I know it depends on player type but just in general what would you do by the river. Just say it bricks out
Let’s say you begin to bet polar with logical bluffs like straight draws and flush fraws and villian calls. While they may be calling with weak pairs they also could be calling with the same draws you are trying to bluff… so if the draw gets there what do we do then? Because it’s a good bluff card but it’s also bad if they have the same calling range
Just came to say thanks Coach! My second ever live bounty tournament and i made it to ft and 6th place! Will get back to premium membership when i get to grind littlebit more dinero, thank u Coach.
Thanks as always Jonathan. I have a different question but do you know what happened to Kevin Phwaap? I recall he suffered a stroke then returned to the game in 2016/2017 but them disappeared again. I believe you two were acquaintances possibly even house mates. Just wanted to check on his well being.
I played 4 tournaments online a few months ago, I played once a week on the weekends. A mutual friend invited me to his home games, this is the only reason I started to play. I'm not new to poker, me and my friends would play almost every weekend when I was younger. I won the tournament twice, got to the final table and came in top 20 in the 4 i played. I only earned around 2k, it's not like I could quit my job. So I started studying GTO thinking I could make this a good side hussle for now and I've watched almost all of your videos. I feel like it's made me worse. I haven't made top 50% since I started using GTO. Is there a point in playing this way if the people I play against don't use it?
Your baseline is GTO. You're supposed to adapt GTO to your opponents tendencies that stray from GTO. This is the spirit of exploitation. For example, you're being exploited in tournaments by players who play wider than GTO while you're likely trying to stay tight. Which means you're over folding against "weaker" opponents. The point of learning GTO is to learn WHY your play was successful before and not just an accident of the gut.
@@xLTxHardcore GTO said if HJ raises, Cutoff 3 bets, The button 4 bets, if you don't have certain cards, you fold. People online, just don't fold crap. Ax or Kx calls everytime. Offsuit, suited, it doesn't matter. I don't hit the flop when I get called, I C-bet and get reraised all in most of the time. It's just dumb. No more GTO for me.
After watching your videos, i always hear your voice saying, "Pot odds exists" whenever I have to call a bet that feels uncomfortable. And sometimes I end up winning a big pot that way
Preflop is straightforward, it's judging the value of marginal hands at the river I find hard. Callking off my 7 against many of my opponents is often -100% ev if they bet into the river. Tbh, I play much better against good players than vs 'randos' who play by feel.

11:41 why doesnt the button contain Ax suited in his range? Is thst because they checked the flop?
Amazing video paired with the poker math one
my compliments to the coder that defeated my adblocker for a replay poker advertisement. first time ive seen one in yonks

Thanks Jonathan, is there a vid on AQ AJ AT preflop plays.
Let’s say you begin to bet polar with logical bluffs like straight draws and flush fraws and villian calls. While they may be calling with weak pairs they also could be calling with the same draws you are trying to bluff… so if the draw gets there what do we do then?

Hey, Tyler. I'm looking for somebody to discuss poker hands and improve together. Would you like to try?
Just came to say thanks Coach! My second ever live bounty tournament and i made it to ft and 6th place! Will get back to premium membership when i get to grind littlebit more dinero, thank u Coach.
That is awesome! So glad the lessons are paying off 👊

18% raises, 42% calls, 39% folds, 1% burn the cards and spit on the opponent😅
Is a PLO course being added?
I believe JL/PC is onto that foirt 2024...afaik ofc.
i like your vids!
Thanks!
I'm a newer player. What does defend mean in his context?
Defend, meaning call or raise. When you defend you continue with the hand against the opponent/s.
Are you playing the 50K?
After watching your videos, i always hear your voice saying, "Pot odds exists" whenever I have to call a bet that feels uncomfortable. And sometimes I end up winning a big pot that way
Yep!
What do we know about Global Poker? Unregulated "sweepstakes" poker. The only thing available in many states. Legit?
I would play Ignition or Acr (with hud)
what if you’re opponents are really bad and bet 25% pot with the nuts and call every bluff with bottom pair
First!

your fornat suclks
Where’s yours smart guy? Fkn troll he does a lot more for people than you probably do in helping people learn but you have something to say?
