But you preach no bluffing
@@aleksejusdanulevicius6730x
ya i just watched this video and river turned a paired bored and fish called me down with middle pair great stuff
Bluff her by telling her you are in love with one of her friends. Let her up the betting. Put up or shut up.
And in another version, villain check raises All-In on the river, showing QJ suited for the rivered broadway. It's a war out there!
Not sure if wife is leaving over my poker addiction...or she's just bluffing
Reraise her and tell her a believable story before going all into her
In this case, you always call. If she is not bluffing, she is doing you a favor.
Only one way to find out
She ain't bluffing, but she also ain't worth it if she's gonna leave you over something you love doing.
@@joed2818 bad advice ... ending up alone is the worse ... trust me because i am 😩
The most important thing here is player type. The same hand played against a fish :
"I got AQ/AJ on the flop, I'm never folding 2 overcards, call"
"I picked up a gutshot on the turn, and I'm never folding a gutshot, call"
"I rivered top pair, I got the nuts now. Snap call."
Yup, exactly :)
@@BlackRain79Poker Why do players call so much with 2 overcards, especially when they have few if any backdoor straight and flush outs and especially out of position? Such plays strike me as just plain bad unless you are doing a float with an intent to raise later. Such hands only have 6 outs to top pair. But making top pair can wind up costing you your whole stack. i.e. one pair is usually not worth 4 streets of action. I just don't understand calling when your low number of outs won't even get you a hand you want to play for stacks.
Easy, if you don't out your opponent on a 10, it's easy to call one street to see if your cards improved. People are c-betting a lot these days, so defending a premium hand can sometimes be legit. Just like defending AK/AQ.
*put your opponent on a 10
@@ligafftheindifferent3495 why re-raise if you are diving into the pot volunteerly? It's small stakes, what did you expect. It's a cookie price, then a lunch price, not much to have fun in the end. Most of the beginners have never heard or re-raising unless they flopped a set.
I find this little video more instructive than some whole courses ! Very simple, very helpful. Thx Nat.
I agree. Nathan is doing a great job of focusing in on the particular spots that can influence our win rate the most. Considering how much material there is out there for how to 'play well' he is really doing an uber job finding simple techs that work.
In low stakes, I tend not to do pure bluffs like this because the other players can sometimes behave unexpected. Unless the turn card was helpful to me, I would've given up. The K hit the villain's range as much as it hits the hero's.
Bluffing in lower stakes is more of a feeling than a science. Sometimes you just have that feeling.
Brother, no poker players making money, almost 99% players losing money and time. Cowards like him working for poker sites and fucking some stories to keep us loosing money
You make things seem too easy. You are the number 1 poker teacher on the internet -bar-none.
Once or twice a night when I am on the button and it's a limp pot, I do not even look at my cards (no one notices) and raise pre-flop. Usually one or two people call. On the flop, I throw in another bluff bid, and on the turn another. A lot of times this works and I don't even know what I have. If another player bets or raises, of course I have to look at my cards now and play the hand from there. This works more then it fails. I only do this once or twice per session.
Tell the story! That is some of the best advice ever.
We live in stories. It plugs directly into our psychology.
Thank you for being so aware.
Another form of scare card is the third card of the same suit. Also the fourth card of a straight. It's an opportunity to claim an improvement. As with any scare cards the scary part is playing against the possibility your opponent has actually improved. Use with considerable prudence ;P
..
I love to take advantage of bluffers that are aggressive by playing the weak position and let them go out on a limb with the big bets. Most of the time it is a fold on their part when things get real.
Hi Nathan great video, I was just wondering how you can be so sure he isn't slow playing a monster like pocket aces and pocket kings. I know you said he would most likely have raised but after seeing that you were betting so aggressively I feel like there's a chance he could be trapping you how can you be so confident he isn't especially since you weren't blocking any of those hands.
I have a dozen years experience and have not played a lot recently. I completely agree with your believable story. I always say, I play with 4 cards, not 2. The two you believe I have and the two in my hand, just in case. What I learned from your video, is to pay more attention to whom I choose to bluff. I make my mistakes there!
Nice vid as always, very clear and understandable explanation 👌
One of my strategies “If you’re not getting dealt good cards, just play good cards”
The key of course, as you stress, is creating that illusion through realistic and plausible plays 👍
Love your channel. Keep the good work and thanks for the lectures they really help. I really think that the most people have problems with the mental game. Its boring topic, but essential.
Thanks Drago! I agree that most people struggle with the mental game. I will have more videos coming on that soon.
Totally essential! Never boring! :) Winning is always fun.
Some very useful information there my friend 🙏🏻😎. I especially like “perceived range” believable range via story telling ;). Excellent presentation man I very much appreciate generous spirit of information.I believe it will help my game thank you
Thanks Christian appreciate it!
This is great free content.Another good way of bluffing is if you have the range advantage.
Excellent breakdown!!
Nathan, this type of nuance and small detail is what im looking for. 99% of other poker vids are general strategy. THANK YOU!
My pleasure!
Thnx for the great video's... there verry helpfull. Greetingz from the Netherlands and keep up the good work!!
No prob, glad my poker videos are helping you!
This seems like kind of a bad spot to keep barreling, and the sizing chosen on each street also seem less than optimal. On, the flop, yes we have the big pairs (QQ+), but he has the nut advantage by having all of the sets while we only have TT. Given your sizing on the dry board, it is perfectly reasonable for sets to take a call-call-call line while you barrel off.
It is also completely reasonable for him to float you with QJs, at least the three combos with backdoor flush draws. Overcards and two back doors is worth a call, especially since you can clearly have bluffs. He can also easily have hands like KTs or AT.
This run out looks great for you, but it actually isn't. Beyond your opponent's nut advantage on the flop, you also shouldn't just be wildly double barreling with all of your Ax hands, which have showdown value, so the A on the river isn't actually as good for you as it looks. By calling half pot on the scary turn after calling the flop, it looks like villain has Tx or Kx (or QJ, which is now open ended), and most of those hands have either improved (AT/KT/QJ) or have nut blockers (KQ/KJ/QT/JT).
There are very few draws that missed on this dry board, so what exactly are you trying to fold out? Sure, weaker players may fold 66/77/88/99/J9 (though they may have folded most of those on the turn) or even QT/JT, but the story you are telling doesn't actually make a lot of sense. You are repping AA/KK/TT/AK/QJ, which you can have, but there aren't actually that many combos of those hands and villain looks very strong by calling 3-bet OOP and calling two decent sized bets postflop. It looks like they either have a monster or a showdown value hand that likely blocks the few combos of value you are repping. It really doesn't seem like you will get enough folds for this exact line to be profitable.
Plus your sizing makes for an awkward river shove. They only have to call 28.75 to win 72, so they rarely have to be right to make this call. You need to bet smaller either on the flop or the turn to create a river sizing that would actually have applied maximum pressure. Based on the wild zero-equity bluff you are running, a player who is paying even a tiny bit of attention knows that you have enough bluffs to make this a slam dunk call with JT or better.
The general concept makes sense, barrel and apply pressure, but this exact run-out doesn't seem like the home run triple barrel spot you seem to think.
Excellent criticism. I was also worried about the choice of this combo to keep barreling on the turn despite the lack of any equity improvement. But your point about Villain's likely blockers to Hero's nutted hands also is excellent.
I often go in pre flop with some weird hands and if I hit the flop I just give them the rope and let them run with it lol
QJs is very unlikely. TAG type of players will likely fold this hand on a PF3bet so as hands like 66 77 88 etc. If you call these kinds of hands pre-flop, then your not a TAG type of player. TT, JJ, QQ or least AK would be his likely ranges here but not AA or KK because villain will 4bet pre-flop and hero will fold (therefore no story to tell). So, it is possible the villain hits his set on flop. Let's assume villain hits his set on the flop, villain check trapping. K comes on the turn, villain will not going to like this K on the turn, K is one of hero's perceived strong hand remember hero 3bet on PF so, AA KK QQ are Nathan's perceived upper range here. Villain will be force to raise on the turn to find out where his set stands. Of course Nathan does not have a K, but he might continue with the story or simply hit the break cut his losses. The real question is how often do you think the villain will hit his mark? there are 2-10's left if he got the other 2-10's or JJ's or QQ's out of 40 or so more cards possible left on the deck. I say the odds is small. The math is really on Nathan's favor here. Therefore it is mathematically profitable in the long run.
Question: Are you ever showing up at the river w/ AQs or AJs and jamming it in? I mean given ranges, we'd have to think he's not peeling QJs on the flop (maybe QdJd specifically), so he'd really only show up w/ 1-2 combos of ATs that have us beat.
Ive had alot of success in similar spots, by c bet flop small on dry textures like this, then if the turn is a scare card, sizing up and even sometimes overbet the turn. Ive had people fold hands like JJ and a 10 face up, because ive "obviously" hit the turn. Only problem, if they do call the turn you have to just give up on most rivers cos they not folding after investing that much on the turn often.
Tight and nitty players are my favourite so far. You can't make a ton of money from them, but they make for really easy reads and you can just bully them out of their BBs/3BB->CB
when you got position on them
Agreed, and this is a big part of a winning strategy in small stakes games these days because these players are the majority of opponents you will encounter.
Im not often making triple barrel board has to be very good and i have to have nice equity on turn most of the time but cbets im making almost always with a at least a lil bit of equity and on turn im usually continuing
Nice video and the most important thing. Have a read on who you are going to bluff. That is where the money is!
that story sometimes becomes a nightmare.lol.
What plker site do you use? Ty for the tips....been winning like crazy
What I like about your videos is that they are short. I come away learning one main thing. Less is more.
Brother, no poker players making money, almost 99% players losing money and time. Cowards like him working for poker sites and fucking some stories to keep us loosing money
Hey Nathan. Is there a "good" ratio of bluffs to value hands? Like maybe 10% or 5% or something like that.
Thxs for the video
Hey Nathan, lets say in your hand example you c-bet and DB 1/2 pot on turn with AK on T43K and the guy check jams on you all in, are you calling it off because you are at the top of your range there, or are you folding even getting good odds and closing the action by telling yourself it's an underbluffed spot and villain won't have enough worse. Thanks.
I love the 1/3 bet on the flop. Lots of good turns to continue on
And id say he has 55-99. The T. Maybe a couple Ace highs with back doors.
What if he knows your range is wider, though? What if he learns that you could be doing this, well, with a 7-8 suited, as in this hand. If he knows this about you, then wouldn't he be more inclined to call your bluff?
Do you make same play if river comes jack, or low card? this perfect run out makes it too easy
Would like to see how you handle if the TAG shows some resistance. For example, what if he would have opened the betting with 1/2 pot on the Turn?
Then you fold.
Good answer @arronabs. Nathan don't need to show, it's implied. K on the turn is one of villain's perceived ranges of hands A is one of them including 99, pr 10, JJ and QQ but not AA or KK because the villain will 4bet PF the hero and the hero will fold. But the fact that villain checks on the turn, Nathan will continue telling his story. Ace comes in the river villain checks, Nathan continues with his very convincing story until check mate. The fact that villains checked on the turn and river, we can really narrow his hands ranges to 10/Js, JJ or QQ. The real question here would be, how often the villain will hit one of his range hand K for example...four K out of 30 or so possible cards left. The odds are so small. I say Nathan's approached on this is mathematically profitable. As long as you play this with TAG type of players like Nathan says.
Good as always, thank you. Tried this at Zoom at NL5 and NL10. But you'd have to be very careful. I would not only consider VPIP/PFR but also (very important) Fold To 3Bet after Raising, WTSD and Fold To River (C)Bet. After trying some big bluffs now and then for a year or so (nearly half a million hands) I only do it against people I have 250 hands minimum on (stats) and who have a WTSD below 25 to 27% and tend to fold more than 65% to a river bet. It often works, but even semi-tight players sometimes called me down with 2nd best pair and medium Kicker, although as in your example a King came on turn and an Ace on the River, and even a backdoor flush could be completed. (Villain had 29% wtsd and foldet 75% on the river and we were in a 3Bet-Pot and I am in position with the initiative). It just happened some hours ago. Maybe one shouldn't try this at the micros (at least not at the weekend) ;-). Sometimes those guys who seem to have solid TAG-stats just want to bluffcatch. Against total nits (20% wtsd, 14/12 or something like that) it is a good strategy to mix in some big bluffs. But I only do it 50% to 75% of the time (depending on their stats), as even those guys sometimes adapt to your style. Strangely big bluffs are working good for me at NL5 (6max of course) Zoom and on NL25 Zoom, but often not so good at NL10 Zoom. But it may be variance as that is very high at Zoom. (My winrate for the last 50k hands at no limit 5 is at 11,5 bb/100 (ev) and I just had a 25 buy-ins-downswing over the last 20k hands at NL 10 which is one of my biggest Zoom Downswings during 5 or so years. Got so many coolers and I am not really tilting any more since some years. It can be ridicoulos. I had 5x KK vs AA preflop, often Set over Set, even two or three times flopped flush vs. flopped flush, often ran into sets with AA, KK in 3bet-pots, etc.). But I think I will beat NL 10 again in the long run, also thanks to your content! Have a nice weekend. I always appreciate your postings and clips.
Thanks DerDude, agreed gotta be careful with this strategy at lower stakes!
Well, it’s not anyhow amazing bluff. I think this hand was very poorly played by that MP player. Actually he must have been quite nitty, not a tag reg. Even though you did 3bet, MP is still going to have decently strong range, quite similar to yours, except those aces, kings and ace king. And he still has way more QJ which are the nuts in this case. Also he is going to have decent amount of AT. So meh... You are kind of lucky that you don’t block JJs, 99s, QQs, QT, KJ, etc these hands may fold. But I think good reg is probably calling KQ+ at least at some frequency.
Nathan, great subject! I'd like to see more on successful bluffs. I find it tough to bluff much because it just seems that players will call with anything. Only the most obvious situations seem to work for me. I also hate bluffing where I have to put my entire stack at risk. You are right - it takes having the right player with the right runout.
@blackrain79 I think a helpful vlog would also be how to play heaters - when to get loose, when to get tight and, most importantly, when to walk away.
Brother, no poker players making money, almost 99% players losing money and time. Cowards like him working for poker sites and fucking some stories to keep us loosing money
I did this yesterday , being on the SB, with pocket 6s and finished with quads taking away his entire stack and winning for the day (over 250BBs).
Would we still go for the third barrel on any non-Broadway card?
You have to be representing something on the board. If no ace on river, you're trying to represent either King with big kicker or two pair. This is a pure position play more than a big bluff. Simply putting all the thinking back on the out of position player.
great video thanks!!! so in this hand you risked your 50 to win 22. will this be a profitable play in long run. you have to be right more than 2 out of 3 times. sounds like a high risk low reward play.
Glad my poker videos are helping you, thanks for watching!
I notice you use 1/2 pot c bey as a small bet do you discourage a 1/3 c bet?
Another great video.
On occasion, I don't mind being caught at bluffing. It can lead to some really big wins. All you do is "bluff" your big hand the same way. But do it too much and they all become calling stations. ... such a fun game!!
Thanks for watching my poker videos, glad they help!
This information changed my game from pure luck to making smart(er) decisions and not going broke anymore (4 out of 5 times). It also shows the impossibility of winning for the recreational player(almost every player is "hip" and reads the same free advise now). I think 90% of the players should just enjoy the excitement and comaradie of the game. If you cant afford to lose DONT PLAY! Perhaps if you are a poker SAVANT ( like Rainman) you can understand the "masturbation math" presented in poker training, but it is nonsense to most of us who just want to have fun. The "slick" poker hustlers who try to deceive and sandbag their way to a days pay make me sick. They are usually unfriendly, unwashed and not fun. I think the poker rooms should "identify" the dirtbags (Here's one!) who come to "rob" honest players and stink up the joint. That's my opinion I am sticking to it.
"Lets stick the guy with 1k with the guy with 1 hundred... that'll be fair.."
I play against a guy who would call every street in this hand, and scoop the pot with A9. He does it all the time because it's low stakes and he's 80 years old and probably just wipes his ass with hundred dollar bills.
I've gotten the better of him over the last few months, because I know how to play him now. It was maddening at first.
I want your book. Please. Send link
Another great video! Excellent advice, scare cards are money
Thanks orb!
I need to bluff more; this is great help!
Don't we all :) Glad my poker videos are helping you!
I was involved in a similar hand against a calling station…..l couldn’t get him off the hand he went all the way with JT….and took my $150. The other player said, “that’s was a good read.” It took me 2 hours to get his whole stack, $270.
What did U bet on turn???
the video that let me to this, you said 67 s causes big trouble and should be folded, and 78s schould be played like that? I always run into a10 in these situations, i mean he raised in middle position and just called your 3bet, in my opinion it just looks to much be set up for a river shove, iget called down often when i play that way in these spots
Depends on what I have put across as my rep, perceived range. It's all about perception.
I try to stay as close to thirty % as possible. More like 20% and I know that number needs to come up, depending on the actual game, how many rec players.
The dry boards, yes and even before you said JJ, I said it. Especially after he called you post flop. Perfect bluff cards on both turn and river.
Bet he had JJ!
Would be nice to see a video on picking off bluffs because at Microstakes it seems they bluff so seldom
Which is the easiest poker sites??
I make a bluff when my opponent looks scared. It usually works.
How do you find a online cash game ??
You have all the over pairs on the flop and all the sets. It may not be a great flop for your hand but it is a good flop for your range
You never mentioned your own hud stats. Your table image and stats have got to be just as important as your betting in that hand. If you play back against Regs they are defiantly watching your stats too. You shouldn’t be trying this spot unless you have pretty Taggy stats as well to back this up.
What site is this?
Good,but what if he goes all in after the river and your bluffing?
I think the table could be a bit bigger and the cards and text even smaller
When I do this I'm always just blasting into the top of their range and they call me down even though I had range advantage pre flop :)
This is the spot I'm usually against a calling station who calls with a pair of 3s
I think the villains range is weighted towards AK/KQ/AQ based on his position/pre flop open.
He could have other hands too, but K on the turn and A on the river hits his perceived range as well
If he's calling flop with any of those hands he's a huge whale and u shouldn't be bluffing them ever bc they're a station lol. Any player who isn't a massive donkey won't call with KQ... tf would u be ahead of lol
@@benlinden5644 you are wrong. The flop is dry so he can easily call 60% of the pot, even a pot with two overcards. BTN has the biggest range after the blinds so he could 30bet preflop with any junk pair like 55 or 66 here. The problem is the TAG should have shoved on the river to make it look like he did catch his straight finally and that's why he was playing so passively all the way.
@@br4insful calling flop the QK is a big leak here. you don't beat many of the hands in his 3bet range (even less given its small stakes) and u aren't getting anywhere near pot odds to call with 2 overs, not to mention the pot is bloated from the 3 bet so implied odds are even worse when u hit, which it isn't always good either given hero has all combos of AA KK QQ while villain should have none.
Huh, I am perplexed why you shipped it if you put him on ace ten. Would he then say it was unlikely for you to bet like that with queen jack, so I would be worried about a 2 pair call.
This kind of runout is exactly the kind where I have a hard time emptying that third clip-I just don't feel like my story is believable enough. With the turn bet I'm saying I love the K, and of course it's great for Hero's perceived range up to that point. But doesn't the A kinda subvert the story? When we shove on the river we're saying "OK I was bullshitting you about the King and you caught me, but this time I really do love the Ace, I promise!"
Although now that I'm writing it out... I see the A does absolutely nothing for Villain's perceived range, V's line hasn't given H any reason to fear the Ace at all. So Hero's shove is basically saying "I still like the turn, 'cuz you obviously don't have Ax." So I guess I answered my own question lol. Sometimes putting something into words just makes it click :p Great vid as always!
"I don't think he would have kq or kj or something of that manner because he would most likely fold here on the flop" You obviously haven't seen the 1-3 games here in Houston
great content
Happy to help, thanks for watching my poker videos!
my bank roll is at this bluffing level at the moment but good content.
Works great in small stakes online or in person cash games. Not gonna work in micro stakes. Those suckers just call everything down. Okay if you found a TAG, then they will also play this way, but know your opponents before trying this in micro.
Cool
If he had jj or qq wouldn't he bet after the flop???
Sitting strong? A weak bet catches a lot more chips than a check. A weak bet is also a kind of bluff which can be more effective than simply slow playing, especially against an aggressive player with a middling hand. A check can look a lot more like a trap than a weak bet as people generally reveal the strength of their hands with the size of their bet, but a check reveals nothing.
..
Where does everyone play online poker? I cant find ant sites and if I use a vpn it ask to be verified which I cant do
I like to bluff even with good hands. Make them think your strong when your weak weak when your strong. When bluffing recognize when thier not going antwhere.
Particularly here he must have had some 99 or so. 2 other overcards are scary for any pocket pair. QQ might re-raise the turn to check out if you do have something better. But they fold on the river since AXs in your range.
A guy played me like how you played your hand. I called him all the way down to the river lol
I know how to bluff but what if your opp is also bluffing, and the whole table is over betting. No book covers this. They only say how YOU should bluff
you cant use huds on ignition bovada or acr
Let me ask you this. Pre flop I 3 bet in position with 8 ,9 ♧.Flop comes 8♤ , 7♡ , 10 ♤ i 4 bet it ,2 guys call. Turn card was K ♤ so at this point 2 guys checked before me so I decide to jamm rase it after I missed my scale on turn,one guy fold ,recreational player called.The river comes A ♡ and this guy has A of ♤ with 6 of ◇ .The question is ,do you think he would call if I Check turn and All in on river?
Why not C-bet smaller? say 1/3 on flop?
I honestly think that because C-bets these days are often called by regs, that more size may be needed to make them not float.
Player Type is Number One, for sure. Don't want to run perfect bluff only to have a 65/10 call down with bottom pair. PIO indicates that if Villain calls with one more hand than optimal on River, which is certainly true of calling stations, Hero should never bluff River. Conversely, if Villain is folding more than optimal, Hero should increase bluffs by degrees. Range Advantage, Nut Advantage, Runout, Blockers, Un-blockers, all part of the picture. I would say 65-70% of my WR comes from bluffing, most often taking it down on the Flop. For me, the decision to barrel the Turn is the most subtle. Really have to be conscious of the range Villain brings to the Turn. Capped, but narrowed and strengthened. For example, if middle or low card pairs, exit stage left.
What hands should opponent call down with according to PIO?
@@FefeLeVrai Very Board and Range Dependent. But if Hero is IP PFR with Nut Advantage and Range Advantage, often PIO will have OOP fold a percentage of a hand as high as 2d Pair on the Turn barrel. Really depends though. No one answer., as far as I know. I will look at a sim and get back with a specific case, if you would like.
@@FefeLeVrai For example, on a A85r board, IP Hero betting a 20% range and Villain calling with a 15% range, if Hero bets .5Pot on Flop and .75Pot on Turn, solver has Villain folding middle pair on Turn.
@@FefeLeVrai Kxxr board, naked middle/bottom pair generally folds on brick Turn to double barrel.
Yup, extremely important to know the player type before attempting a big bluff like this.
Maybe this is the universe you live in, but the universe I live in the villain shows up on the river with TT trapping me into shipping my stack to him with 8 high.
If the ace didn't come out, the majority of people would called there.
Ya the ace is basically the ultimate scare card there. I think it's almost a mandatory triple barrel.
Is just shoving all-in bluffing, or just hoping for the best? I prefer 'feeler bets' that don't get me pot committed, with occaisional double barrel bets in the right situation. It may not work so often, but you aren't knocked out when it goes wrong. As a relatively tight player I find these kind of bets effective, as I lead people to believe that I only raise when I have something. Never allowing your opponent to see what you had is best, if you want to maintain your cover, in as many situations as possible is vital. Big bluffs make good video, but really its a combination of previous hands that allow you to make that big bluff consistently. Peole watching one big bluff, then going and playing that way all the time won't make them good, consistently winning, players.
If you were the villan, would you have called with A, 10?
Is he really folding the river here? That Ace on the river may hit your range, but it probably didn't beat whatever he has. It seems like he should be folding the turn or calling both bets unless something unusual happens. When players are running 3 streets of cold bluffs, calling and folding a river just cannot be right unless you were no a big draw..
I just need to not get unlucky during the most important hand. If no bad luck consistently, I dominate most
if he called raised pre. I am not bluffing with that turn and river.
The thing i run into is that people always have K10/A10/AK and they never fold, even if i shove it... maybe its because i play low tourneys and not cash games. Im still in the learning period of poker and i think its harder because people dont care about the 0.55ct buy in and go all in with a pair of 10's..
live cash is the same
I love your videos...so good, best on YT. Some friendly feedback: explain acronyms and jargon before you use it. Don't say, "This player has a VPIP blah blah..." and then explain what VPIP is. This is not a video about VPIP. You don't even mention it again. It just confuses people. If you're going to mention VPIP, say, "Voluntary Put In Pot, also called VPIP." As soon as you throw out those hard to understand, uncommon words, you lose your audience. I wouldn't even mention it in this video. I realize this is an old video, but you still do it pretty often. I love your shorts that explain how to play particular hands in particular situations...keep going with those.
I do question the success of our bluff on the A river if he was hanging on w/ AT.
he' never folding top 2.
Ya I doubt he folds that hand. Small part of his range though, probably (maybe?) only calls a 3bet OOP preflop with suited varieties of AT (i.e. less combos).
Range perception vs being worried he has one specific hand.
@@carlkillough4196 you are not wrong, but I was referring to Nathan listing hands we might bluff villain off off and he said "if he was hanging on w/ AT"
Getting unlucky is my biggest problem. Everyone tells me my skills are maxxed but your luck is terrible. That is the most annoying thing ever to be told over and over again.
Are we ever afraid of QJ?
Re-Raise? You play right back at 'em huh....?
👏👏 ‼️®™️
When the board gets paired it's a great time to claim an improvement as the odds of your opponent improving from it are very low.
..
Q J suited pre flop, calls all the way...screwed
Should I be answering other poker ♣️ ♦️ ♥️ players questions about the hand ✋🏼 🖐️ 🤚🏼 I have with accurate honesty ?
What if he had KK or A A?? this bluff is too risky, he can trap you anytime. I wouldn't do that very often, sometimes it works, but its too risky.. :)
or even 10 10. You won this hand against shit player i see :D he could re'raise you anytime, but he just called you. Stupid mistake
I bluff to win most of my hands. Eventhough I am a stiff player
