Thought - hand breakdowns like this would be really cool if you covered up the opponents' hands and then revealed what they were holding after the fact.
The maths is there basically to help explain why it is a good sound strategy. It has brought the game to the calculating mind a bit more and away from instinct. But both working in tandem is a killer combination.
As someone just introducing myself to high level modern poker analysis, that's what makes it hard for me to buy that this is effective. You have to do so many things right just for the math to kick in, and even then you're hoping that it pays off for you in the long run.
Old school and new school came to the same conclusion on this one, naturally I might add. In my opinion it is way more interesting to break down hands where old school and new school ends up taking different approaches and making different decisions. Still...I think this is an interesting angle to look at hands from.
Great to understand the way you break it down. I like to think I would have instantly folded without having to go through that thought process though. That close to Final table I think your comment about preserving your stack takes ultimate priority regardless of the maths.
I was in Vegas this past weekend and I wanted to play, but I haven't studied in years. After watching you a few times this past year, I got scared to play, as I realized might have been BIG Fish now. This video just confirmed it and thank you for saving me money! lol Thank you for the simple breakdown too, it makes the modern play a little more understandable and fun :).
Really love these old school/new school videos. Not many 'old school' players made the transition to GTO play, so your perspective is pretty unique in a lot of ways. I also think, especially for 5/10 and below cash games, new school players are a little too quick to throw out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to old school play.
Are you gonna make a video about the round 2 match with Hellmuth? Ever since I started watching you guys in early 2000s. That guy just gave off a special energy. These great reads and passion make him a good Ambassador for the game. In my opinion though, Daniel is the more friendly of the two. Negreanu is a legendary player
I thought the extra analysis associated with AK suited was interesting. Given DNegs had AKo, then of the 9 AK combos left, only two are suited. “Old school” might have really only considered the nine AK and six AA/KK combos. Still bad. But if the more accurate analysis is likely two AKs combos and the six AA/KK combos, then it’s even worse.
It's cool to hear the breakdown. However, considering you're not calling either way, if you arrive at the same decision, wouldn't another example would bring out the bigger differences between the new school and old school?
Negreanu, I'm a new subscriber. I love the content, sir! thanks for the insight. I play every Wednesday with a group of family and friends and have really noticed the difference in the last few months after watching.
What I have found about my playing style and love for the game is not about the cards at all (playing against other hands) but more about playing against the people at the table.
It’s always interesting to see these two perspectives in cash vs tournament play. The BBs tighten up the play and ranges a little more in these tournies
In cash you can rebuy so its all about your equity and chance to win the hand vs how much it cost you to be in the hand. In tournaments it's all about ICM and relative skill level. And ye; most players overestimate their relative skill levels.
Very good danial, very Good for learning the game. If you had time in next video would you discuss the concept of frequencies and give a example. Keep up the videos.
Sure, I touch on that when I can. Frequencies refer to how often you do something. So if you never 3 bet, your 3 bet frequency would be 0%. If you always 3 bet, it would be 100%. If you are doing either of those things, you are exploitable. A better example may be when continuation betting the flop as the preflop raiser. If your frequency is really high, then your betting range is quite weak- you are betting the flop too much. If your frequency is really low, then your betting range is quite STRONG. What you want to have is a balanced frequency when you bet the flop. Sometimes you bet strong hands, sometimes you bet weak hands. That way, whether you bet the flop, or more importantly CHECK the flop, you still can have a lot of strong hands in your range. Imagine a player who never ever slow plays the flop. Ever. If they check the flop... that means their range is garbage and you can just bet the turn and take it with nothing
Hey Daniel. Im enjoying your old v new analysis (and your other vids too). But, whilst the thinking is different, they both seem to lead to the same conclusions. Can you provide an example where the outcomes are different please (or point me to the vid if you have already done so)?
I agree with your assessment of this hand. Ike Haxton once commented "when you get it all in with Ace King with a 50 big blind stack you're just smoked in that spot". Would you ever flat the raise, in hopes to induce a shove behind you? (I think the 6s had shorter stack?)
Maybe at a small frequency sure, but it's tough to call a 3 bet cold out of position and not have a range that is face up and easily read. Your opponents can eliminate so many hands that wouldn't call and it makes it super tough. Like if the flop comes 456 you will never have board coverage. Your opponent knows you don't have a set or a straight and can apply a lot of pressure on your range that is AK, AQ, 99-QQ
The idea that a player as good as Daniel wasn't using combinatorics in 2015 is just baffling to me. I've been thinking about poker like this for 3 years and I only make like 5k a year.
Love these videos! I'm curious how much GTO influences your game today. I would guess 10 years ago you were somewhere around like 80-85% exploitative, and 10-15% GTO. How accurate is that and how would you describe your style today using those percentages? I have conflicting thoughts on how to use GTO and how much. My overall learning strategy is to use GTO to help my exploitative play stronger, if that makes sense lol. I've become much more GTO dependent in the last 5-6 years. I'd really love to hear your comments and opinions on this
@@dnegspoker Too exploitable imo for such short stack depth. If someone is making a play against you any small % of the time it's a huge error to fold KK. Remember that time you bluffed that guy with sunglasses on because you knew he knew you never bluff early in a tournament? (this was years back). Well what if a player at the main event just got frisky and made a play on you? It can happen, and only needs to happen low frequency to make folding KK a big error. GTO-wise at least, we know it's a big error. When veering from GTO to exploit, if villain exploits you back then they are exploiting for way more than your initial exploit. These ideas are covered in Modern Poker Theory book.
lol no offence but the 'GTO' analysis is almost exactly the same and you could have summed it up with 'He has AA or KK' which I think we all knew, and you knew when playing in 2015. Nothing has changed
True Scott and the fact he prolly can’t outplay neg after the flop and he must thought neg could b making a move but yea that was a bad 5 bet all in .. kings maybe but Daniel is right way too strong of a hand to do that .. he must have thought Daniel had kings
@@scottposlosky8474 yes ur right so that’s the point u have best hand possible bro u don’t push someone away heads up ever with that preflop especially negs who u know u have crushed Bc he nvr does that 4 betting often
Still made the great lay down, legend!! I remember watching that table and if I remember right you he got you on river? So close to that main event bracelet to!! Next year I’ll beat you to it heads up, I need the money more lol ❤️
Daniel can you write a new book on cash games? Your books are all from when you were thinking in the 'old school' way but now as you have improved and even gained some more popularity since then I think it will do well. I don't think many of the guys thinking in these terms have written books they are more interested in making video courses that cost an arm and a leg. A good book on modern strategy would be welcome for us who rather reading and would be much more cost effective.
I play very low stakes where people are way less predictable; in some ways the fact that you are deep in a world-class tournament makes your opponents more predictable? Or maybe not in general but when they five-bet all in!? Thoughts?
Wouldn't it be a better play for the player with AA to just call the 4 bet. As if he constructs your range, he should pick the 1 combo of AA, the 12 combos of KK and QQ and the 12 combos of AK meaning he can easily avoid you folding QQ and AK and be a massive favorite against your range with a very good chance of getting your whole stack and a mux smaller chance of a suck out and loosing the hand. Plus he should then know that you would likely place him on JJ QQ or possibly AK, He should also know that your most likely calling off with QQ, KK on most flops say 90%, and AK on the occasional flop say 1/3 of the time So out of the 12 combos of AK and the 12 combos of KK, QQ he gets stacks in 15 or 16 times out of 24 or 66%. He gets folds 33% of the time and wins the same as if he shoved. He would loose about 14% of the time based on he has to shove or call a shove on the flop almost 100% of the time. So out of 24 hands He wins the same as if he had 5 bet 8 times He wins for a stack 12 times He loses for your stack size 4 times I don't understand rhe ICM model properly but surely this is the best play? I'm no Poker expert so correct me if I'm wrong and this is actually a suboptimal play
Question: Why is everyone raising approximately 2.2x? I feel like that gives odds for basically any hand to call, esp. considering the previous raisers in the hand.
I remember this hand quite well! I always felt like jamming aces into Negreanu's range at this point was a bit of a mistake, seeing how mr cold 4bet negreanu never really cold 4bets, I feel his range would play better as a flat. Especially top range! You could make an argument to jam KK, and A5s or something. But if he flats JJ & QQ, and probably AK, it seems weird you wanna split the range in such a way and not include AA. But what the hell do I know, I never won the wsop ME or the world championchip of Risk. And I don't have 40 millions in tournament winnings either. So I guess the pros should fight this out while I enjoy the show
Hi Daniel. I tried to play well with Aces but, I’m usually short stacked. I, 4x it. Can I mix in Ace King and Kings with my 4x raising range? I tried nines, didn’t work. Ace 10 called and spiked a 10 on the flop. Thank you for your time and consideration. By the way, this video really helped, I wish I had access to this information 4 years ago when I had Kings and 3-bet. He 4-bet and I made the error of going all in, Aces held, of course.
can u do the hand against esfandiari where he folds st.flush.......board was A2354 all spades . we couldn't see ur cards so i have guess of ur holdings. FYI....if u need the hand video i can send it to u......tnx
I liked both approaches, to how you reached your conclusions..... I think some of these "ultra wizards" are way over thinking this.... It's poker. Don't overcomplicate it... Put your opponent on a hand... does that hand make any sense????
looks like you're constantly looking at your phone for notes and keeping it on by touching the screen. Try the guided access, it might help. (if my assumption is right)

I agree, but I do think that the argument against flatting is that UTG is left to act, and if he raises then it ends up being the same thing. But if he flats as well, you're going to a flop completely out of position without the betting lead in a bloated 3 bet pot against two potentially strong hands.
Hi Daniel, even though the GTO math made the correct assumption, so did your old school read. I think you cant get away from the old school read vs just a solver. Obviously, the solver works to some extent, but I feel a good read will win more often than GTO. I put my theory to test at a live Venetian tournament a few weeks ago. GTO has holes or maybe players try to get too creative. Either way, I study GTO only to understand how a GTO player thinks, but still play small/big ball. Love your videos. Good luck to you.
I love this idea for a series, and I'm very much looking forward to more. I've already liked and subscribed, and I see that 21 people have down voted. WTF is wrong with those 21 people? :-)
Daniel, going back to a similar question I asked in your previous video, what do you think is the rationale of Joe's shove. That 5 bet shove shows so much strength considering your image. In that scenario I believe you would consider folding KK if you had there.. If you have KK, against his shoving range you have 6 combos of AA where u are at 20% and 8 AK combos where u are ahead. And like you said he would shove a suited AK which is only 2 combos against your hypothetical KK at that spot. So my questions are would you fold KK that spot and is shoving the most optimal play for Joe considering your 4 bet range where he have you crushed. In other words would it be more optimal for him to give you rope to hang yourself.
REGARDING YOUR RISE, I THINK YOU COULD SAVE YOUR SHEETS IF YOU FOLDED AFTER THE SECOND RISE. IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS A TOURNAMENT WITH STRONG PLAYERS, AND THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF ONE OF THEM TO HAVE A COUPLE, THE LESS AVERAGE, WAS HIGH. AK is a dangerous hand, with at most equal probability in front of a pair, just below QQ.
At sensibly equal probabilities I don't think it should be played! For me, folding is the solution if I assume that the opponent has at least equal chances to mine !!! But I'm not a professional, I say this only because, after considering this in principle, I was more successful!
I love these videos! How much did the fact that it is in The WSOP ME effect the tight range you put him on here. E.G - if it was a $1500 WSOP event would you consider calling with AK even against the same player in this spot?
Thought - hand breakdowns like this would be really cool if you covered up the opponents' hands and then revealed what they were holding after the fact.
Thought the same
Pro trick : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
I agree.
I don’t think you give old school Daniel enough credit.. he did calculate the combos in his head - he just used different terminology!
Daniel, whether you’re winning or losing you’re a class act, a legend no question. Love the breakdown, keep them coming!👍
I like Daniel but it's worrisome how much he loses

The maths is there basically to help explain why it is a good sound strategy. It has brought the game to the calculating mind a bit more and away from instinct. But both working in tandem is a killer combination.
The math is only viable if you have the instincts, if you assign an incorrect range then all the math is pointless.
As someone just introducing myself to high level modern poker analysis, that's what makes it hard for me to buy that this is effective. You have to do so many things right just for the math to kick in, and even then you're hoping that it pays off for you in the long run.

Love these videos so much!!! Actually makes you realise how much calculation you have to do for every hand.

Hellmuth might be onto something.. it's good to understand GTO only to exploit GTO. Trust in your own style of play.
But does Phil actually understand GTO?
His play doesn't look like he has any idea of GTO in most spots.
Most successful poker players use GTO, but the likes of Phil Hellmuth (most bracelets) and Brynn Kenney (most cash winnings) exploit GTO

Good analysis, thanks!
Watching from Brazil. Thx a lot the analysis you make. So, i have a doubt: QQ in your hand would you surely fold?
So if he thought you had 20% equity should he have raised smaller on the 5-bet to get more out of you?

the new school vrs old school is great keep up the great content!!!
Great analysis! The only thing one could argue is for you to just call his 3 bet with AK off suit in bad position since the mentality is small ball.
I agree, but I do think that the argument against flatting is that UTG is left to act, and if he raises then it ends up being the same thing. But if he flats as well, you're going to a flop completely out of position without the betting lead in a bloated 3 bet pot against two potentially strong hands.

Is AKo necessarily a 4 bet against a 3 bet against UTG?
Thanks so much I love these videos and can’t wait to watch you at WSOP 😊
Hi Daniel, even though the GTO math made the correct assumption, so did your old school read. I think you cant get away from the old school read vs just a solver. Obviously, the solver works to some extent, but I feel a good read will win more often than GTO. I put my theory to test at a live Venetian tournament a few weeks ago. GTO has holes or maybe players try to get too creative. Either way, I study GTO only to understand how a GTO player thinks, but still play small/big ball. Love your videos. Good luck to you.
Hey Daniel what camera do you use for your content? It looks really good.
Remember when the main event had like 60% televised hands be all in on the turn. It played like a PKO. Lol.
I love this idea for a series, and I'm very much looking forward to more.
I've already liked and subscribed, and I see that 21 people have down voted. WTF is wrong with those 21 people? :-)
Great to see daniel invested in a decent mic, now he just needs to actually use it
Love this series! Thanks for the great video.
In his cold 4-bet range, why include A4s and A3s but not A5s? I don't think he's just flat calling with it OOP
Daniel, going back to a similar question I asked in your previous video, what do you think is the rationale of Joe's shove.
That 5 bet shove shows so much strength considering your image. In that scenario I believe you would consider folding KK if you had there..
If you have KK, against his shoving range you have 6 combos of AA where u are at 20% and 8 AK combos where u are ahead. And like you said he would shove a suited AK which is only 2 combos against your hypothetical KK at that spot. So my questions are would you fold KK that spot and is shoving the most optimal play for Joe considering your 4 bet range where he have you crushed. In other words would it be more optimal for him to give you rope to hang yourself.
REGARDING YOUR RISE, I THINK YOU COULD SAVE YOUR SHEETS IF YOU FOLDED AFTER THE SECOND RISE. IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS A TOURNAMENT WITH STRONG PLAYERS, AND THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF ONE OF THEM TO HAVE A COUPLE, THE LESS AVERAGE, WAS HIGH. AK is a dangerous hand, with at most equal probability in front of a pair, just below QQ.
At sensibly equal probabilities I don't think it should be played! For me, folding is the solution if I assume that the opponent has at least equal chances to mine !!! But I'm not a professional, I say this only because, after considering this in principle, I was more successful!
Where's the analysis of you getting shit on by hellmuth again ?
How does it feel being a favorite and losing to WHITE MAGIC twice ?
Hey nice summary. Appreciate it. Would you say most if not all pairs would be playable against Ak off suit? If it was a regular size bet may 2* or 3*?
Would you have called with KK?
I love these videos! How much did the fact that it is in The WSOP ME effect the tight range you put him on here. E.G - if it was a $1500 WSOP event would you consider calling with AK even against the same player in this spot?
It has a significant effect for sure, also because we play 2 hour levels
You've gotten better at this and all it took was few hundred hours of your time and little over million dollars for Doug Polk 👍
Love these videos. Thanks.
