Nathan, this is yet another superb video. What would be great is a video that covers the in-between rules. Everybody knows the basic stack (like the flush challenge), but it's hard to find any information online that covers the differential win/loss ties with the gamut of more obscure hands like when two people have an Ace or pair or what happens when the 5 on the table is a full house...what then?!
Good question. When a pair appears and the opponent does have a full house (on the river), you are beaten. Even Blackrain cannot tell you what to do and he will probably tell you that it depends on what kind of player you're up against. Fold when it's a nit and call when it's a fish. Because they all wear signs, telling you what kind of player they are.
Old strategy: Cross your fingers and be shocked when you don't hit your card on the river. Strategy after studying (inc these videos): Know your player types, narrow down ranges of hands, press that player in the last example. I'm not constantly aggressive so people usually believe me when I say I have something good (big bluff), but I've also been told I need to be more aggressive. That was such a classic example by the way. Those situations are so stressful when you don't have any strategy or intuition yet! You get the end, your card didn't show up to finish your flush and you're like... What now? Great examples, thank you :) Still trying to catch up on the pot odds stuff I'm a bit lost.
I ve chased that exact bad FD when I first started playing. Thanks for the great info, it’s really helping now that I’m starting to play again. Gotta start from the beginning and learn the basics again so I don’t make the same mistakes! Thanks for the great content!!!
Yo Nathan, if u bet a pot size iam pretty sure you have 3:1. For example there is 100 in the pot. Opponent bets 100. U need to put 100 in order to win 300. 33,333 percent.
Nope, your wrong it's 2:1 odds Nathan got it right. 100 in the pot. Opponent bets 100. The pot now has a total or 200. You call the 100 bet if you win, you would have won 200 not 300 so the odds is 2:1 not 3:1. I hope that is clear.
@@mariomahilum1549this is actually incorrect. So the 100$ in the pot. Your opponents bet of a 100$ = 200$. If we call then we would be risking our 100$ which would increase the pot size now to 300$ total. So we woukd need 1/3 equity as our break even point

Regarding your 89h river bluff line.. Assuming we are oop (out of position) as you mentioned we should consider xr flop (check raise) which I think is the only correct play assuming we are 100bb deep. After xr flop and your turn bet which gets called I believe that 98hh might actually be one of the worst combo of cards to turn into a bluff on river as we need our opponents to be holding similar combos as this. You had mentioned it would be disastrous for the river to go x x and we lose at showdown to Qx etc. I believe the scenario of where we lose vs high cards which also missed their respective draw would be so seldom that the rare time it happens we can live with it. The reason it being so rare is because we can actually eliminate pretty much their entire Qx range after turn call assuming they don’t play Q5h Q6h etc hands. I believe their high card missed draws that would win the x x river showdown would be A5h A6h etc. hence I prefer a 1.5 psb overbet on turns with our exact combo and as played flop, and for river bluffs as played flop and turn I would rather choose hands that block 2p+ combos that also is unlikely to win river showdown. Such as 67 or 53 etc. unblocking Ah is an absolute must as well
Dear Nathan, can you do a video of what to do when the board is paired and you hold a card that pairs with a card on the flop that isn't Part of the pair (not trips) covering as many different scenarios. Position, card value, possible flushs, possible straits, possible fulls houses for and against you, and any other expert advice you have on this sticky wicket.
I find it difficult sometimes to bluff big on the river because sometimes they just call with any pair even with the lowest pair. So it definitely is dependent on the player type. You are correct those type of weak regular players usually fold. Hell, even i will fold in that situation sometimes. Not always but sometimes its a fold if you are on the opposite side. Big bet would definitely make me think about calling with second best pair
Wow. No I really enjoy the videos but........... just can you fix it. I see the black suits just fine. Nathan, thanks for the explanation, really helpful!
Hi Nathan, I tried to download your free poker cheat sheet from your website but it doesn’t seem to work when I input my email address. Could you please help me download the free poker cheat sheet?
For The basic pot odds section, 3/4 pot bet would make you be getting 2.33:1 odds , not 2.5. I think the pot odds examples were wrong too 5:47 - as other comments said. Like you really can call when you are getting closer to 2:1 odds with the flush draw (calling a pot size bet) if your flush draw is assumes to be about 35% equity.
I did not understand item# 4 well. I understand the pot I will win will be smaller when dacing 20 BB vs 80 BB. But also one of the advantage of that is I have less to lose if the actually call and are able to beat me.
i assume its bc of the 35% success rate of a FD, chasing it wouldn't make sense if profit is not worth bearing any risk. That's why he says pot odds mean nothing w/o implied odds, 5 dollar call in a 10 dollar pot is still 3 to 1. However, I understand your point, for a rather recreational player, there might be logic behind pursuing a small pot here, with a "a w is a w" perspective, but the pro thinks about the long run, thus engaging in these small pots is inefficient for him. However we don't get that many reps in and therefore a bad beat is a bigger disaster for us lol, so a lower scaled pot is much safer to pursue fs. Also I'd add that as a 20BB I would be almost nit, especially live, so id automatically assume a 20BB has a monster hand
I had a very similar hand last night that I'd like to get an opinion on... I had JT of Ds on the button and raised 25.00 because the table was very aggressive. All folded except the tightest player at the table who showed a range of just premium hands. The flop comes 7D, QD, 7C and he checks to me to which I raise $25.00. He calls again. My read told me he was playing AK since he had never shown a card under 10. The turn comes a 9S giving me the straight and the flush draw. This time, he bets $25.00. I had an open ended straight draw and a flush draw which gave me 9 outs for hearts, plus (3) 8s or (3) Ks for a total of 15 outs. I calculated about 30% equity in the hand. With the bet of $25.00, and a total of approximately $125.00 including his bet in the pot, I had 5:1 or approximately 16.7% pot odds. Since pot odds were significantly lower than my equity, assuming I calculated it correctly, I believed it to be the right call. Question #1: Did I make the right call? The river comes the KS making my straight. There is no flush and I am playing against the tightest player at the table and he checks to which I bet $25.00. He raises me to $75.00. If I was correct in my call, he had AK and was trying to buy me out hoping that I missed. I thought about it because I was wondering if he might have been slow playing a 7, but his behavior didn't reflect that at all and the bet was approximately 50% of the pot. I had already bet %25.00 so his raise of $50.00 brought the pot to about $250.00 giving me, once again, 5:1 pot odds and I had hit my straight. I called just in case he had somehow acted completely opposite to what I thought and was rewarded with him flipping over AK. Question #2: Despite the fact that I won, did I play that right? @BlackRain79Poker
In my opinion I think you played it smart by really isolating his hand to AK. Only thing I would've done is re-raised him on the river. It was obvious at that point you had the nuts. And if you raised big enough he may put you on a bluff and then you could've built the pot for yourself. But also, pre-river you saved lots of money how you played if you didn't hit your straight.
@4:46 I'm a little confused why you say you 'typically want 3:1 pot odds or more,' when your equity is 35%. You win 35% and lose 65%. Isnt' that closer to needing 2:1 (or 65:35) odds than 3:1? If you have 33% equity, you win 1 out of 3 times, losing twice. If you lose twice and win once, you need 2:1 to break even. If you have 25% equity you win 1 out of 4 time, losing 3 time and winning once. If you get 3:1 you break even. Techincally with 35% equity you will win 35/100 and lose 65/100 if you ignore everything else. So you want 65:35 payout, or 13:7 payout to be specific to break even. You're right about a pot sized bet giving someone 2:1. Which means you need to win 1 out of 3 times to break even.
I've seen a lot of yours vids and have heard you mention living in Asia, so you might not be up on all the gambling laws in the US. But what do you suggest for a site to play poker online for real money? I live in Florida and I can't get any straight answers on the laws. Some places say online gambling is not allowed in Florida, some say it is allowed. Really want to play some poker but can't afford the high stakes games around me locally.
Man thx a lot! i love your straight forward style of your teaching;) Im a musician that focused on teaching when corona came and it is so much fun if you do it right! Thx for dedication to help people, i think your doing a great job! much love
I've won hands online and in casinos with two three people going all in on flush draws and me have the nut draw, nothing like taking a big pot on A high when we all miss and are too donkey not to push with it. It's a good move with short stacks that are desperately titled.
I hate to break this to you, but nowadays, people absolutely refuse to allow a flush or straight to potentially develop on the board and will simply jam if they spot any draws--especially if they have a hand they really like or had whiffed a monster hand. Oh, they may be willing to fold if they limped preflop. But raise them preflop, and they'll just jam on the flop regardless.
Pot odds is what you risk for what you gain, risk 50 to gain 150 is 50/150 so 1/3, the confusing part is because the total pot is 200 so 50/200 but you gain 150 not 200 since you're risking 50
Another great video, Nathan. I plan to grab your EPU as soon as I can. The microstakes stuff is super cool, and I wish I could take advantage of it easier (live in a US State that doesn't allow it). Good luck with your continued success.
Question. I make it $15 and get three callers so there is $60 in the pot. The Flop has three random diamonds. I have the naked ace of diamonds. The guy next to me bets 125 and it folds back to me. He then shows me that he has Jack ten of diamonds and says that if I call he is jamming on the next street for 800 more dollars. Should I fold, call or go all in?
Can i start playing poker professional on poker websites in order to earn my monthly money from poker if i play for about one year and have watched almost all your videos ?
The argument is by having A4 instead of AQ, it allows for the possibility of your opponent to have QX of that suit. Then if the flush comes, he has the second nuts while you with the A4 have the nuts. If instead you have the AQ of the suit, and the flush hits, then you know his flush cannot be that high and it therefore minimizes how much you can get out of him.
@howardkwastel7463 nailed it. Unblocking the Qh is great because it allows for more draws your opponent could have ie Qh fds, and also Qx sd. However depending on the preflop action and stack depths you could argue blocking Qh might prove more beneficial if the situation presents us with a scenario where shutting the equity yields us a +ev outcome as it does block a fair share of our opponents calls.
If we are really talking to rookies ..you should be aware and not forget you also have to have money in your stack too for implied odds to have value! Not only against a significant stack, but also having one yourself!
Thanks Roman! I recently had a lengthy layover in the Paris airport and bought this shirt haha. I honestly don't watch a ton of soccer, but my favorite team is Real Madrid 💪
i'll take a six high flush all day and i need a 125%+ bet into a three-way pot if I want to overcharge villains chasing a flush...they're still getting those 3:1 pot odds on a 100% bet when there's another caller in with them...maybe just be sure to not give freebies when it's multiway...the more callers, the better the chase...yay nutz
In the beginning of the video I thought, wow, finally this guy tries to improve on his motion graphics. But then the majority of the video still consists of the old static ppt style text overkill. Gfx need to go with the flow of the spoken info, so it is actually a benefit for the viewer. I know a guy if you're interested:) Anyways, thx for the tips!
If I got 2 or more TAGs in a pot, I switch to LAG type gameplay to increase my $$ by cracking Aces & Kings with suited connectors! 😂 They get soooo mad at me sometimes. "It's just a game!" - Me when they *rage quit.* 😂
I should read these comments, i was wondering how many people comment when he sais one hand is the best possible and theres a better hand out there. I reckon he does it deliberately on some vids.
I got caught chasing a openended straight flush draw last night. I had 6c7c. Flop was 2h4c5c. I hit the flush but someone else had suited ace of clubs And I got screwed out of most of my winnings from a ROYAL FUCKING FLUSH a few hands earlier. I had in my mind that it would be epic if I hit a straight flush right after that and it fucked me.
min 15:30 --- you have A3 on the table its K,Q,T .... you say you have best possible flush ... enemy bets , i force all in .... and look into the J9 of spades in 90% of the time ^^ thats my reality of poker ^^
Cool video, as always… but think the music you’ve added is distracting and sometimes makes it hard to understand what your saying. Not really needed, IMO
Uhhh… Nathan, you only need 2-1 or more pots odds if your probability of winnning is 35%. 2-1 pot odds in that case would be just above breakeven, but that’s calculating the pot size as what’s in the pot before you put the call in.
Low stakes don’t suck, you just shouldn’t bluff often in low stakes. Bluffs are only good for people that are putting you on a specific range that can beat their hand, not a random fish at the 1/2 table with top pair
How do you play your flush draws? Also, here are the 8 habits keeping poker beginners stuck: ruclips.net/video/FqVaM_nfXvo/видео.html

Ive been watchin a 1/3 on RUclips. And the minimum buyin is $800. And it's a match the stack game. So, does that sound right for a 1/3 NL?
What are all the locks in straights in poker?
I've won hands online and in casinos with two three people going all in on flush draws and me have the nut draw, nothing like taking a big pot on A high when we all miss and are too donkey not to push with it.
It's a good move with short stacks that are desperately titled.

I thought 3 to 1 odds translates to 25% and not 33%. It's 50/200, not 50/150. Can anyone confirm this ?
Sound same to me, now i am not confused 😂
Pot odds is what you risk for what you gain, risk 50 to gain 150 is 50/150 so 1/3, the confusing part is because the total pot is 200 so 50/200 but you gain 150 not 200 since you're risking 50

Fold. You could call if he betted
Does it work both ways with pot odds. Lets say there Kh Jh 5s, i have KJ and want to scare away anyone holding hearts. Do i bet pot at least?
Oh you explain it in the video at 7:25
isnt the pot odds the pot + their bet + your bet? so if they bet $50 into $100 you would also have to bet $50 so its $50 for $200? so 4 to 1?

Great video Nathan
I like PSG, mbappe is the next CR7
What is yours favorite soccer team?
Thanks Roman! I recently had a lengthy layover in the Paris airport and bought this shirt haha. I honestly don't watch a ton of soccer, but my favorite team is Real Madrid 💪
Basic good information. A4 suited noted.
Also 75 % pot noted at end of video.
i'll take a six high flush all day
and i need a 125%+ bet into a three-way pot if I want to overcharge villains chasing a flush...they're still getting those 3:1 pot odds on a 100% bet when there's another caller in with them...maybe just be sure to not give freebies when it's multiway...the more callers, the better the chase...yay nutz
Thanks for the tips, I need all the help I can get
Happy to help!
Is it 35% to hit a flush draw or hit the flush once you have the draw?
To hit once u have it but i guess you have it figured by now.
Good vid
3:43
35% chance of completing a flush draw from flop does not convert to 3:1 odds…your chances of completing are slightly better than 2:1
Thanks for the video. I can honestly say , that I fold my miss draws too much. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Point #4 very good - never did ck their stack size! thanks
35% of the time when you have 4/5 cards on the flop with turn/river still to come, just to be clear to viewers
Flush with Ace high, I go all in oponent has full house 😂
In the beginning of the video I thought, wow, finally this guy tries to improve on his motion graphics. But then the majority of the video still consists of the old static ppt style text overkill. Gfx need to go with the flow of the spoken info, so it is actually a benefit for the viewer. I know a guy if you're interested:)
Anyways, thx for the tips!
dont chase flush on a paired board
Doesn't matter how much you bet we have a table full of callers. Why did you call all in with 5, 8os and how did you hit a straight on the river!!
If I got 2 or more TAGs in a pot, I switch to LAG type gameplay to increase my $$ by cracking Aces & Kings with suited connectors! 😂 They get soooo mad at me sometimes. "It's just a game!" - Me when they *rage quit.* 😂
Very nice
Thanks
Online guys hit their flush against me 80-90% of the time. It’s sickening. Even 3/4 bet flop then pumping turn. Call stations!!!
Have you considered... adjusting?
i still stink
I should read these comments, i was wondering how many people comment when he sais one hand is the best possible and theres a better hand out there. I reckon he does it deliberately on some vids.
eg id rater draw to a straight flush than nut flush first flop,
In my last house game I lost 2 queen high flushes to king high… I was very very happy!!!
Why did that make you happy getting outbid on your flush hands?
I got caught chasing a openended straight flush draw last night. I had 6c7c. Flop was 2h4c5c. I hit the flush but someone else had suited ace of clubs And I got screwed out of most of my winnings from a ROYAL FUCKING FLUSH a few hands earlier. I had in my mind that it would be epic if I hit a straight flush right after that and it fucked me.
Number 2 is my fault and I know it , underplaying good hands especially flush
When the student is ready . The teacher will appear …
min 15:30 --- you have A3 on the table its K,Q,T .... you say you have best possible flush ... enemy bets , i force all in .... and look into the J9 of spades in 90% of the time ^^ thats my reality of poker ^^
Cool video, as always… but think the music you’ve added is distracting and sometimes makes it hard to understand what your saying. Not really needed, IMO
Thanks for the tip
it's all subjective, of course. I'm basically ADHD so it doesn't take much for me to get distracted. LOL.
Uhhh… Nathan, you only need 2-1 or more pots odds if your probability of winnning is 35%. 2-1 pot odds in that case would be just above breakeven, but that’s calculating the pot size as what’s in the pot before you put the call in.
k of spades doesnt make us the best hand, it´s jack 9 of spades
We call the worst possible flush the "butt flush."
Great at math or not ...How do you land a 3 high flush draw? 😂
Just tried bluffing this guy on river and bro couldnt fold top pair weak kicker. Low stakes just sucks to try and win at.
That’s why you never try bluffing a fish they never fold anything even bottom pair 2 kicker
@@JaySityEnt Very true. Good thing I only play for fun these days.
Low stakes don’t suck, you just shouldn’t bluff often in low stakes. Bluffs are only good for people that are putting you on a specific range that can beat their hand, not a random fish at the 1/2 table with top pair
a pot sized bet gives you 3-1 odds what are you talking about
tell 8 high getting 2:1 not to shove -- BUT THEY DO and bust my aces with 8 hi draw
