Hey, thanks for the shout-out Saulo! You are the #1 reason of my success in Poker, it's a pleasure to be able to call you, in addition to a business partner, a good friend. Keep it up with the best Poker content in RUclips!
Just got staked at 200NL based on 12bb/100 at 50NL. By a millionaire stock investor. We were talking about poker versus investing and I was showing him some stats, talking about variance and edge, and bankroll strategy About knowing the theory to craft profitable exploits, about being able to pay a bunch of big, unexpected bills because of poker. And next thing I know, we're partners. No hesitation on his part. Kind of interesting. Bought me a new desk, computer, and monitor too. Wild. We'll see. I think I can make him some money. But he doesn't care. Well, he cares and doesn't care. It's like an experiment for him. Very smart, funny, decent guy. Good partner.
It's like the equivalent of you giving me $2.00 and me saying I think I can make you some money. lol , it's not about the money, he supports your dream and w.e money he gave you is probably insignificant to him, anyhow good luck on your journey
I normally don't agree with most poker content spewed on youtube but one of my favorite lines you said here was "you don't need proof you need evidence". This is someone who has a solid understanding of variance. even at 50k hands there is still about 8% variance even at a 5-7 BB / 100 rate
Hola Saulo, ví este vídeo apenas lo publicaste cuando estaba grindeando 50NL con 30 BI, me dió el push final para empezar con shots en 100NL y a día de hoy los shots son en 200NL jaja Tienes mucha razón en que si estás reventando un stake, muy seguramente te vaya muy bien en el siguiente ^^ gracias bro! Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪
Que winrate tenias en NL50? Ando a 7bb/100 en 150k manos, pero retiro dinero y mi banca es de 20BI del siguiente stake. ¿Me recomiendas shotear? Saludos y gracias de antemano.
Great video thanks for it. Would you do a video about tips or strategy for people that play micros from nl2 to nl25 for example. Is better play zoom or regular tables? Thanks and good luck
I've been lurking thru ur vids for a while now. I've played MTTs full time for a few years, though my EVbb/100 is good on paper, I've never achieved the $ results I set for myself. I've been considering switching to cash, and your vids have been much appreciated. Thank you for the experience you share here 🙏
BB/100 isn't a perfect metric when judging profitability in Mtt's. Whales donating lots of BB early game can make graphs look artificially good but doesn't actually translate into much ev.
Hey Saulo first of all thanks for the regular precious content you release to us all!!! 😊 then i have some questiona related this video: 1. When you say practice you mean playing against solver righ? Wizard drills mode. So you think the best line would be to practice it for diferente spots, context positions etc on the same session, same week? Or do you think the practice session should be according to the content you are studying at the momento, for istance, im learning how to construct my range on 3bpots OOP from SB, then i do the practice mode only focusing on that... 2. Do you think about exploitative deviations while you are practacing? 3. How do you keep in mind the spot of study during grind? I think is natural to let go and just go through each spot that happens... Thanks alot man for the free videos ❤
1 - Doesnt matter. Don't spend anytime figuring out what to study. That's waste of energy. Just sit in your chair and fire the drills, no matter which one 2 - Always. You should practice drills not to become a bot, but rather to know your starting point when you realize you should deviate. 3 - A session focused on applying what you studied is a great idea. All you gotta do is set an intention and apply conscious effort to keep that intention at the forefront of your mind. Play shorter sessions for that to work. Hope that helps!
@@saulocostapoker re. 1 -- where does one find these drills? Thanks, you make excellent poker content! edit: Nevermind I think I see the link in your description - the gtowizard link. Thanks!
Amazing content Saulo, thank you. If you were an MTT player, what would your study routine be, taking into account that sessions are usually 6 to 10 hours on average?
I would say that one should always be very selective with the quality of the game they are playing in. If you already have this habit, its hard to go wrong when taking shots. Problem is that most people don't even have that habit to begin with
Great content Saulo. I have a question : Lately, i studied a lot in deepth like you said and i enjoy it a lot. But I know I am lacking of pratice because i am getting bored very quickly. How can I change that ? Create a game to have some fun ? Create some rule ? Thanks
Study the most popular spots (btn vs bb, bvb etc) and then look for those spots while you are playing. Seeing your hard work pay off is a crucial part of the studying feedback loop.
Faaala @saulocostapoker , tranquilo? No vídeo vc comenta que mesmo com o field soft, não é fácil de bater o rake. Quais jogos, e sites vc recomenda com melhores condições? Pretendo jogar nl50 e nl100. Qual o bb/100 de um bom jogador nesses limites? E quantas mãos um regular consegue fazer por mês, tendo em vista 25 dias de trabalhos por mês, 8h diárias? Peço também que me recomende os softwares de estudo e tracker de resultados. Grande abraço, obrigado pelo conteúdo e atenção. Edit: postei este mesmo comentário em outro vídeo, mas como era mais antigo fiquei com receio de que vc nao o visse.
Thanks for the video. I like your advise of taking earlier shots. I am quite a super nit in that area. I have more than 200 buyins for my current level (25nl). I started playing rush and cash a couple of weeks ago and really want to "prove" to myself I really beat the game before moving to the 50NL. Question. Are the higher zoom/rush&cash game still profitable. A lot of people are claiming it isnt. Whats your opinion??
It is true that very few people win pre-rakeback. That doesn't mean its not profitable though...playing reasonable volume you can get 2-4bb of rakeback. That being said, if I were playing low stakes I wouldn't play fast/fold formats like rush and cash. I would focus on reg tables, trying to get the best tables and seats against the recreational players
@@saulocostapoker most volume is on GG. the future of online poker looks very bleak indeed, regs fighting over scraps of winrate post rakeback, with masses of new regs coming up thru the micros every year. And now everyone has access to instant GTO calculators... And I suspect the few winners have something to do with that.
Saulo Costa you are just a guarantee when comes to useful and original content, keep it up Im looking forward to when you will sell your bot grind simulator 💪
Saulo, Obg pelos emails do Boletim Informativo de Poker e por todo o conteúdo deste canal. Por favor, não pare! Tem algum outro lugar onde podemos acompanhar seus ensinamentos sobre o poker? Feliz 2024 pra vc e sua família!
Obrigado meu querido, pra você também! Não pretendo parar por enquanto 😎 Cara no momento são esses dois meios mesmo - vídeos no canal e a newsletter. Em breve terei alguns cursos pagos
hi, I have a question. If there’s a spot where you have to pure check but you bet. How would the your custom training bot react? Irl spot where villain bet into me when it should be range check, how should I react?
The solver always has a response for any line, its just that its never used. But it was calculated at some point in the solving process what should be the optimal response vs a bet. So the bot would just do what it calculated in the last iteration where the other player took that line at a >0% frequency. Not sure if that was clear enough, sorry if it wasnt. Irl, you should be concerned with what that piece of information means. How does someone make themselves exploitable by developing a betting range where solver pure checks? When solver pure checks, its generally because range is so weak that the other player should be quite aggressive vs you. When the other player is quite aggressive vs you, all of your nuts make more money by allowing the player to put money into the pot. When all of your nuts want to always check, then you can't really balance any betting range, as it would be extremely capped. So all other hands have to check too. If your opponent is betting when they are supposed to range check, they are making one of their ranges extremely capped - either they are using their few nuts in that betting range, making the checking range extremely weak, or they are keeping the nuts in the checking range, making the betting range super weak. I would typically expect people who do this to be putting the nuts in the betting range. Which means you should bet super often and big when they check. Hope that helped!
Something around 500k hands is a decent sample size. It won't "determine" your winrate though, it still contains a lot of variance. Not just variance from card and runout distribution, but player pool variance, table quality variance, your own game level variance, and so on. I generally say you will never know your winrate in any given game because by the time you built a sample size where variance has been diminished, you are a completely different player from the beginning of the sample
I don't use results much to be honest. I would look into stats, specific hands played that showcase great edge or simply having the money to shot take is enough to shot take. That being said, the more extreme the evidence the more it has weight. So if you run 40k hands at 15bb/100, its unlikely you are not a strong winner. I would use these types of results as evidence that you should shot take, if I didn't have access to the examples mentioned earlier
Saulo what about tons and tons of people claiming that unless you are nl100+ you shouldn’t be studying and it is possible to get to nl200 without studying?
Who are these people? Cuz I haven't seen them. In any case, they are wrong. If you want to keep poker as hobby then yeah I wouldn't have an issue with that. But if you want to make poker your profession, then that's the worst advice possible
I guess same stuff applies to MTTs. If you have any reason to believe you are beating the field, try your luck at higher stakes as soon as possible. I don't think Cash games are dying. Still plenty of recreational players, which is all that is needed for it to be profitable
saulo you talk about where the edge comes from in this video a lot. where DOES the edge come from? making less EV mistakes than your opponents and exploiting mistakes you see?
if i want to start with a very low barnkroll, 100 dls for examples..I normally start good, with some ups and downs, but after some sessions i tend to loose everyhing when going higher stakes, or by slowly making bad decisions and start again some days later...is it different if we start with 1000 dls or its the same?
Losing and the ups and downs don't have anything to do with how much you start with. It has to do with your edge (or lack thereof) over the field, and the standard deviation of your strategy
What is a good 6 max cash game training software... Been playing alot and not seeing the results that i would like. For me its hard learning from just being told or reading its something that I have to see and practice. What would you recommend?
I dunno, I feel fairly confident that 50nl rush n cash is a good bit tougher than 25nl rush n cash. Generally far fewer players in the player pool at any given time and fewer obvious fish from what I can observe. Overall, good points!
50 is the limit where ppl live off poker and have a more professional approach so there will be 2-3 good players in the pool but in term of recs they are the same ppl from 25. it is a mental barrier
Would you say that people still play pretty far away from solvers even in high stakes game? I think its not difficult as a pro player to learn gto concepts and how each spot roughly works given the resources we have nowadays. I thought if everyone is just playing gtoyish then everyone will just be breaking even or winning slightly after rake? Does that mean it is almost inevitable for one to deviate from gto to exploit other regs in order to have a good enough win rate? Or just studying gto super hard and stick to it can yield a good enough win rate? If exploiting and deviating is inevitable while other regs know what the gto play roughly is, does that mean it becomes a leveling war at some point and it is just a competition of who have the better leveling game/reads/ability to adjust to the dynamics asap?
No. High stakes regs suck relative to solver. Check my "4 Wrong Poker Wisdoms" video, I show the data of HS Regs X GTO bot. That being said, you have an incongruence in your thought process. It doesn't make sense to try and exploit if people are playing close to GTO. If the assumption is that regs are playing close to GTO, then there is nothing to exploit and you should try to get close to GTO yourself against them. Besides, money comes from the recreational players, not the other regs. So whether or not regulars are close to GTO is not very relevant to your winrate. Yes you can squeeze some EV from regs that are worse than you, but its not even close to the money you get out of recs. Hope that helps mate! Cheers
@@saulocostapoker Thanks for answering! Although I learn quite a bit of GTO but I am mainly a live cash player that's why I am not too familiar with the online world. I played a bit of nl25 and nl50 zoom on gg and I recognize how people are much more solid compared to live players. Also I always hear that NL200 is already tough af and doesn't have a lot of recs? When you say NL2k and 5k I imagine a terrible environment with literally no fish at all haha. I guess I was always intimidated by the story I heard from others which may not be true. That's why I always thought that you are always battling others regs which player style like Jarretman or David Kaye (Don't know if they are solid enough to you but they are surely balanced and tough enough for me haha. Don't think I can squeeze any profit after rake if the whole pool is playing like that. Maybe you find it easy haha.) Yeah obviously the win rate mostly come from the fish. I just didn't know there are fishes on high stake online poker haha.
Como dito no video, nao me basearia em winrate para dar shots em limites mais altos. Se tiver a banca pra dar o shot, ja vale a pena, independente de resultados de curto prazo
i disagree about the difference in skill level, at GG poker, the difference between nl100 and 200 is absurd, but 50 to 100 is not much different, there are way less fishs at 200 as well.
It's the same thing in chess, people just put in empty reps all the time. They'll play 20 5 minute games a day, not study and think their getting better.
You have great content but for stakes 50nl+. Im sorry, but in lower stakes a lot of that not working, been trying a lot..overbets, timing stuff..really a lot. Loosing massively, people are overcalling left and right. I know you will say not true etc, but unfortunately it is, in micro stakes guys keep it simple, top15% hands, bet only value and bet bet bet..no flats, just 3b or fold, dont call 3b out of position, keep 4b QQ+ and AK, overfold massively vs 4bets. No fancy plays simple and agressive, one bet size 75% and bomb it, no need to think about sizings, if they have a piece they call any size and forget GTO till 50nl, dont even look. Believ it or not, you will be fine than. But as I said your content is superb, dont get me wrong please, no offense.

Yeah, same idea applies. If you have any reason to believe you can beat your current limit, try your luck higher as soon and as often as possible
which software do you use for analyzing GGPoker hand history?
awesome vid and content, where do you do your drills Saulo?
Hey mate. I think GTO Wizard is the best option for drills
I think we should be more selective in the quality of the game we take shots in, as compared to our usual limit.
This is the essence, the heart of this game and should never be forgot
Solid advice..shot take when the pool is soft at the higher stake.
I would say that one should always be very selective with the quality of the game they are playing in. If you already have this habit, its hard to go wrong when taking shots. Problem is that most people don't even have that habit to begin with
Great content Saulo. I have a question : Lately, i studied a lot in deepth like you said and i enjoy it a lot. But I know I am lacking of pratice because i am getting bored very quickly. How can I change that ? Create a game to have some fun ? Create some rule ? Thanks
So you like studying and get bored playing? Not sure if I understood correctly
Study the most popular spots (btn vs bb, bvb etc) and then look for those spots while you are playing. Seeing your hard work pay off is a crucial part of the studying feedback loop.
how much do you think winrate declines across stakes so what would a 5bb/100 players win rate at 50nl be at 100nl factoring in change in rake.
Amazing content Saulo thank you for sharing that for free! What coach/training site would you propose for a MTT player?
To be honest I'm not very familiar with MTT content creators. I know that GTO Wizard has some content on MTTs, and I trust them so I would start there

I guess same stuff applies to MTTs. If you have any reason to believe you are beating the field, try your luck at higher stakes as soon as possible. I don't think Cash games are dying. Still plenty of recreational players, which is all that is needed for it to be profitable

No. High stakes regs suck relative to solver. Check my "4 Wrong Poker Wisdoms" video, I show the data of HS Regs X GTO bot.
That being said, you have an incongruence in your thought process. It doesn't make sense to try and exploit if people are playing close to GTO. If the assumption is that regs are playing close to GTO, then there is nothing to exploit and you should try to get close to GTO yourself against them.
Besides, money comes from the recreational players, not the other regs. So whether or not regulars are close to GTO is not very relevant to your winrate. Yes you can squeeze some EV from regs that are worse than you, but its not even close to the money you get out of recs.
Hope that helps mate! Cheers
@@saulocostapoker Thanks for answering! Although I learn quite a bit of GTO but I am mainly a live cash player that's why I am not too familiar with the online world. I played a bit of nl25 and nl50 zoom on gg and I recognize how people are much more solid compared to live players.
Also I always hear that NL200 is already tough af and doesn't have a lot of recs? When you say NL2k and 5k I imagine a terrible environment with literally no fish at all haha. I guess I was always intimidated by the story I heard from others which may not be true. That's why I always thought that you are always battling others regs which player style like Jarretman or David Kaye (Don't know if they are solid enough to you but they are surely balanced and tough enough for me haha. Don't think I can squeeze any profit after rake if the whole pool is playing like that. Maybe you find it easy haha.)
Yeah obviously the win rate mostly come from the fish. I just didn't know there are fishes on high stake online poker haha.
quantos BB/100 é uma boa winrate para tentarmos dar tiros nos limites mais altos?
e quantas mãos é necessária na amostragem?
Como dito no video, nao me basearia em winrate para dar shots em limites mais altos. Se tiver a banca pra dar o shot, ja vale a pena, independente de resultados de curto prazo
i disagree about the difference in skill level, at GG poker, the difference between nl100 and 200 is absurd, but 50 to 100 is not much different, there are way less fishs at 200 as well.

I make ~150BB/100 on play money sites but I can’t go to real money site because I’m underage.
It's the same thing in chess, people just put in empty reps all the time. They'll play 20 5 minute games a day, not study and think their getting better.
teu inglês é mto pica. Se eu não reconhece que é brasileiro, iria pensar q é um nativo.
haha obrigado Leo!
this guys advice literally turned me from a mid stakes 15bb/100 winner into a 12bb/100 loser dont listen to him
😂😂
You have great content but for stakes 50nl+. Im sorry, but in lower stakes a lot of that not working, been trying a lot..overbets, timing stuff..really a lot. Loosing massively, people are overcalling left and right. I know you will say not true etc, but unfortunately it is, in micro stakes guys keep it simple, top15% hands, bet only value and bet bet bet..no flats, just 3b or fold, dont call 3b out of position, keep 4b QQ+ and AK, overfold massively vs 4bets. No fancy plays simple and agressive, one bet size 75% and bomb it, no need to think about sizings, if they have a piece they call any size and forget GTO till 50nl, dont even look. Believ it or not, you will be fine than. But as I said your content is superb, dont get me wrong please, no offense.
Stop teaching poker pls
Wow
