- Mastering postflop strategy is something every poker player strives to accomplish. Preflop poker is generally much easier when you are just learning GTO charts but the game becomes much more nuanced as you take a flop, turn & river.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know when to make a hero call on the river. Well look no further! I will teach you exactly whether to bluff catch and what questions you should be asking yourself when deciding whether to call or fold on the river. This is all part of having solid postflop strategy which is a key metric to becoming a winning poker player.
If you follow these simple steps in this video you will be better equipped in knowing which are the best spots & poker hands to bluff catch with.
It is a very important concept to learn that you do not want to block your opponent’s hands that they might potentially choose to bluff with. This particular tip has helped my students make thousands of dollars as they make the correct river calls.
Mastering postflop strategy should be one of your highest priorities when you have mastered preflop strategy. You will be more prepared after working through the poker flowcharts that I have prepared for you and understanding when to use them!

Did you consider all 5 of these questions on the river when deciding whether to call or fold?
I would fold for a few reasons.
1) We block the diamond - so it’s less likely that
2) BB just called a 3x which, at least at my local casino, means he has lots of little aces and will likely call most bets
3) he is a tight player making a suited ace more likely. Might have checked for pot control or because they thought they were in kicker trouble.
4) he is Rec (well I am too) so he is less likely to be bluffing. However, his only bet was a C bet and many rec’s will C bet most flops.
You keep putting it out there,and I'll keep watching..Great stuff,Tks coach.
Hand 1. Insta-fold QdJd. Most tight regs are not turning the only obvious draws (flush draws) into river bluffs, and we block ALL the most obvious bluffs (like JdTd). Easiest question ever ;)
Hand 2. Most good opponents are only betting good Kings and stronger for value. They know that the paired 7 allows them to attack with their range because they have the nut advantage. They can have all the flush draws and loads of straight draws. We would rather not have a jack (because of JT and J9), but otherwise I think this is a fine call. A better bluff catcher would be Qd8d.
Thx for all your help much appreciated thumbs up
Hi thanks for great video!
at 6:06 you said that, if we don't have 5 or 8 we unblock it from opponent to bluff with that. so on contrast is it good play that once you do have the 5 or the 8 to bluff-raise the river because they have less chance to have the straight?
I'm folding
opponent has a larger range in BB, so more bluffs are possible, but the only hands the opponent is bluffing with are busted straights, which you would block
I also find more made hands in their range than possible bluffs, that and given over bets on the river are usually a sign of value on lower stakes, I'd be comfortable folding
Honey! He called me with Q high!
Hellmuth?
Wsop like 1980?
In a situation where the bluff catcher is pretty weak like Q high, does it make sense to bluff raise instead of flat call to ensure you don’t lose to a random A high or underpair?
Here, Jonathan is assuming that our opponent is polarised. When our opponent has good hands or air, we should bluff raise very infrequently, because we only have a hand that can go for value very infrequently. When we do bluff raise, we should block auto-calls. So, in hand two, a hand that blocks boats (like 6d2d) is preferable.
Thanks a lot for this video
Yes in K87 scenario. there are a lot of busted straight and flush draws I don't block, but is Q high strong enough to call there?
Ok vs tight rec player, over-pot bet is usually weighted toward the goods, so I don’t think he has enough bluffs to begin with, I am blocking the diamonds that didn’t come in, I don’t think he’s turning a low pocket into a bluff, so this is an easy fold
Fold.
Vs the semipro: there are lots of spades and straight draws that missed, and he shld be capable. I am unblocking all the bluffs. I admit I have never bluff-caught a Q-high before, but this seems like the right set-up!!
Call?!!
3rd case unknown BB:
The problem here is what are the “obvious bluffs”? Pocket 8s? I have to think many people would check 88 on the river. Maybe A7 of spades or clubs? That’s 2 combos🤣 he just doesn’t have many bluffs here. Seems much more likely he has a king with a low kicker like maybe K6 of hearts-not sure he check-raises all his kings on the flop, especially ones with bad kicker.
Fold.
Is it also worth considering if you block value?
It's always less important to block value than it is if you block potential bluffs. This is because there's always less bluffs than value in their range, so blocking bluffs effects the opponents ratio to be value-heavy more than blocking value turns it into being bluff-heavy.
Would hands that block value be the best candidates for those weak showdown hands that you can turn into a bluff? Something like having Ax of the suit where a flush comes in or one of the cards needed to make a straight while you also have a middle pair. You lose to all their value hands but block the top part of their range.
I can’t call a tight reg in this spot. I don’t have it in me. Am I wrong?
What site do you play on? Acr has been a little to sus to trust.
When I travel, I play partypoker, PokerStars, and GG Poker. In the US, I've played some Global Poker which seems reasonable.
@@PokerCoaching you should give Ignition a go…plus you remain anonymous
Fold.
!!WARNING!! for those new, learning the micros. This does NOT apply at the micros at all. !!WARNING!!
Wife: "is that video sped up?"
Me: "no that's just his voice"
Surprised to see that this vid isn't garret vs wesley set over set
No on th QJ bluff catcher. not enough obvious bluffs and QJd blocks flush draws
looked at the chart and came to the fold. 1-3 are unknown and I am giving 4 a no.
This channel is fucking gold on god
In like 3 years I’m going to have to get a real job again. Stop making content like this seriously the game is already getting tough as it is. P.S. Thank you for the charts, dammit!
