Do you go "all in" with any of these 5 hands? Also, check out my other video on how to CRUSH Zoom poker games online: ruclips.net/video/XdVdnXFsTKI/видео.html
There's shoving all in and calling all in, also early and late position. Also are you the first in, or are you coming over the top of someone. I'm developing a bit of a range for when I'm short stacked, 30bb, getting a lot of practice😁
Great advice. A lot of this centers around getting into limped pots, and I think the big, overall lesson here is "Never go broke in a limped pot". I play 3-4 tournaments a week at my local card room and I see these mistakes happen ALL the time. Nathan has nailed it once again.
You’ve still got ~30% against KK so it’s not a disaster if you get called. As long you’re getting them to fold enough hands like JJ/TT. Some nits might even fold QQ which is obviously great for you.
For me blockers only work against flushes with an ace you block. How many times do you see people with the same hands so you have one of the pairs blocked is a fallacy
Top Pair Top Kicker in a multiway pot should probably be mentioned here too. Most players aren't putting a lot of money in if they can't beat top pair so if you have more than one player willing to put money in then be cautious going all in with TPTK
I feel that going all in with just a pair or two pair, even AA, is problematic.. with Aces your brain mailfunctions and before you know it you’re all in against trips or a straight.. it is because it goes so quick online. I often find myself losing because I just go all in too quickly while in general I think I am pretty ok overall.. how can I prevent going in too quickly?
I've been playing super low stakes, .05 .10 blinds, and I've been winning consistently. I started with 25 dollars on my account and I'm up to 115 dollars. I'm thinking about moving up to higher stakes now. This channel gives good advice.
I would wait til $200-$500 depends on your skill level and discipline example if you decide to move up to .10/.25 you have at least 8-20 buy ins. You want to have enough buy ins to feel comfortable for you to bluff and go all ins and hero calls in any situation.
You are doing great. But like others Said, either wait until you have like 400-500 ... Or go to smaller stakes than 25. You are doing great. Don't be in a rush. If you go to 25 stakes with 115 account and variance hits you, it Will be hard to recover mentally. Be patient. All the best.
Another huge problem with hitting a baby flush on the flop or turn is that another suited card comes up later. A baby flush might win with three suited cards, but it's almost certainly going to lose if there are four suited cards.
That's kinda of those hands where you probably want to to play only in good positions and very aggressively to negate all those lucky hands but it kinda depends on the flop. You can always step on the land mine there and you are risking loosing s big pot for a good chance to gain a small pot, it is very luck based so playing it moderately an maybe pressuring after a favorable turn for you could be the right call, but also it requires you to be able and give up the "great hand" if the table is unfavorable
I've seen many times where 1 or 2 opponents wouldn't have a straight even with 4 of a suite on the board and and me or someone else flopping a straight. Of course its all about their bet size. If they have A or K high straight then they will usually make a big raise and that's when you know to fold. If I flop a straight I try not to make it obvious cause then everyone will fold but I will limp to the turn or raise a little bit. Alot of players will fold no matter the raise. Its really just the Ace and King that you have to watch out for and especially the Ace. Its definitely better to win a small pot than lose a decent sized one.
My biggest weakness comes after the flop. If there is a possible straight on the board by the time we reach the river, my opponent will go all in. Rest assured that I am always holding the lower end of the straight in my hand, and I will call. I know calling is wrong, but have trouble laying it down. Most times I lose... It is my cryptonite.
Try to use the clock more often, i have this same problem so i click the clock and go over the hands he can have and think about how he played pre flop
You should talk about how deep you are playing and in what positions you are. AQ can be a very profitable shove or call depending on the positions and stacks
KJ use to be nicknamed the sucker hand! What I like about this channel is, it is (straight forward poker) and if anyone thinks that old school poker is defunct then just look at (Doyle Brunson's last poker run before he passed away!
I just busted out of a tournament with J 10 of spades. I raised and got 3 bet on the button by a very loose player and decided to jam. He had A 6 offsuit and called. I thought I was way behind and sure enough lost the hand. But now checking the Poker odds calculator it turns out it's a pure coin flip! 49.24 for J10 (spades) and 50.37 for A 6
Another problem with those smaller suited connectors besides flush over flush (which to be fair is kind of rare) is that even if you nail a flush , say on the turn. If another club hits the river your hand is pretty much dead now to virtually any club.
Thanks man. Following your advices I was able to correct (many mistakes) especially loosing high pairs to 3 of a kind.... I started to notice the pattern in the way people check, raise or call... level up my game..
If it is a loose limpy game, I try to raise a marginal suited connector like 87s or 54s pretty big to thin out the field. Suited connectors have breakeven ev and typically only make a little money near the button. But if you're folding them in the HJ or CO, you're being too nitty and people will notice. You do not want to overlimp with 76s and let T4s, J5s, Q7s, K2s come along and crush you with a bigger flush on the river...likely for your entire stack. I had K4s in the small blind at 1/3 the other day and there were three limps before BTN. BTN limped along with 87s instead of raising which let me see the flop. Five minutes later I was scooping his entire 100bb stack when the flush came in. If you raise or reraise a small SC preflop, there's probably 50% less of a chance you get out-flushed as typically only suited aces, suited Broadways, and maybe a couple of bigger suited connectors call. The suited trash that dominates you will mostly fold which is quite a large chunk of hands.
Good stuff Mr. Nathan thank you for all this valuable information like I said on another video it’s definitely helping my game. Hope you run good in all your games.
Most costing hand ever is AKo, everybody thinks it’s good but it’s just useful to win small pots and lose giant pots,. I just play JJ+ aggressive and limp in position 22+. Poket pairs are the only hand useful to win large pots because they are stealth end so powerful with the set.
One of the big biggest pots I have ever one was in a medium stakes game, there was a flush draw and a stranger on the board we get to the river. None of them would’ve been able to hit. He put me all in and I call with Ace high and win
Love your guides but i'm leary about buying your book I attempted to get the poker cheat sheets online and it sent me to a page that i couldn't access so i'm kinda scared i'll pay the money and won't be able to access the book ...I really want to read it keep up the vids they are very helpful
I think the one thing to keep in mind against players in low stakes who are literally shoving all their ranges.... AQ KJ might as well be aces. Your going to dominating their ranges. I consistently get it all in with AQ KJ and have my opp dominated. But I also make sure to to only do this against absolute fish
Fish is the key point. The video mentions any reasonable player, mostly multi-way. But if you know you're up against an absolute whale then for sure it's hunting season. But you better be sure it's a whale and not a shark in disguise :D
True story. I once went all in against Ace King with Ace Queen and the only thing that was paired on the board was my Queen. That man had to be fuming.
I'm not trying to go all in with anything unless its down to me and one other person or I have a goof feeling about it which doesn't always work out in my favor. Eventually you'll get in a position where you will have to go all in though so try to make it as favorable for you as possible.
Never really saw the value in going all in with anything other than aa.there are some certain multi way pots it makes sense if you are short stacked and are likely to triple up with 1 caller it is ok with AK kk
what if your short stacked and you getting value from limping calls surely that would be a good value bet. This only refers to A Q and only if you so short stacked that a couple more big blinds will make you all in anyway. I found that limp hands for me are caused by boredom or frustration its this that causes me to lose more than any other reason.
Thanks i learned about these hands the hard way already lol. AQ haunted me for a long time and im still overplaying KJ suited so thanks for the tip i needed to hear it so i can cut kj out oop range
Tony G taught me to "never overplay KJ" on some video a long time ago. He said it like it was a mantra of his. His words always ring in my ears when I get that hand.
Perhaps a better title would have been "overplay" or "over commit" as you are not referring to actually shoving allin but rather going up the ladder with 3 bets, 4bets, etc...
I’ve still got a lot to learn, but I don’t think I’d beat myself up about getting stacked by AJ with J9 on KQT. I’d certainly be worried about it if they 4 bet shoved the flop, but unless they were some mega nit I’m still calling.
I think a point you will understand over time is J9-suited MAY BE a Fold in early position. It's definitely not a Hand you should "overplay". The best advice in no-limit hold'em is to PLAY GOOD CARDS. Seemingly, that concept is hard to embrace among DeGens
@@EricA-xd9fn J9 suited is an awesome hand if you kno whow to play poker. he should of really put ACES in there becuase that is the hand people usually go all in with and that hand always loses when you get called.
King jack is garbage for me same for pocket king and pocket queen. Funny enough suited a2 a3 are great for me weirdly enough I Get a lot of straights with it
Reelly enjoy your videos but against the right player on a 55Q flop, especially if you open action with a suited connector more players assume you are betting the Q that's in your range. I play mostly cash so I could be wrong here but the odds of them having the case 5 are pretty low. I ask because I think I'm going to enter a tourney today and really need to tune up my tourney game
None of this matters if you play online poker. Odds don't mean a thing, reckless players playing K3 off beat AK suited more than they don't. You'd may be thinking ,yea but in the long run. NO, in the long run odds still don't mean a thing. If someone could come up with software that 90% is actually 90% that would be great.
Agree. I have always had bad luck with pocket aces if going in hard pre-flop. Usually low middle cards flop and some jerk wins the hand not folding their 5 8 os as of course luck has it that they're all low cards that make the board.
I'd have to say a couple of those hands like KJ or AQ get me in trouble but usually only in a cash game against a maniac. Even maniacs hit the nuts sometimes to my 2nd nuts
People will go all in when they flop two pair or a set with the J9 example you said, and calling there is not the worst thing. Depends on if a nit or a maniac. j9 is not bad to play if you flop a straight. They have to have *exactly* AJ and an aggressive player will raise, every time, with this hand preflop
Look at the position and stats, if possible, of the open raiser A lot different to play AK vs e/p, rather than mid or late position You might just call vs e/p
If we do 3betting with wide range (value & light 3-betting) in microstakes, should we have some light 5-betting All-in range (such as A5s) to prevent light 4-betting being profitable?
If you 5 bet only AA, KK, QO, AK you become very predictable. So you need some bluffs and A5s is a great one because card removal effect. But you should do this against a player who has a balanced 4 bet range. If the other player only 4 bets for value you dont need a balanced 5 bet range.
Pretty much half of these are "you don't have the best poket if it came to all in pre-flop " and the other half is "if yiu make it chances are you have a risky board and if you aren't really good st reading your opponents you will probably loose a lot of money"
Base your moves off table,bb & position if in a tourney. Guy has 7k in tourney winnings. I have a million and can’t stress enough to consider all factors before making the decision.
Hello Nathan, thanks for another great video. I have a question about the J9 on the KQT board. Whenever I get into a situation like this and when someone raises, I often put them on top pair or 2 pair hands that I can extract value with (in microstakes). I believe that players at this level quite oftenly would want to go all in with a 2 pair on this flop or even top pair top kicker like AK. In comparison someone with AJ, despite possible, is only a small subset of all possible hands they can have. I am not sure whether I’m winning or losing money by playing this situation this way, but do you think there’s a flaw in my logic?
I agree it seems very conservative to fold J9 on KQT. You’d have to be fairly deep stacked against a nit. Even then can you really say they don’t have KK/QQ/TT (maybe if they limped preflop) or KQ/KT/QT? The trouble is a lot of players will play all offsuit combos of AJ, so if you have J9 there’s still 12 combos. And you only have like 6% equity vs AJ.
No need to throw away 2nd nuts, I think what Nathan refers to is that: 1) don't go crazy on the spot and don't let yourself think that's your pot already, a board can pair later on or a flush comes out. 2) Just play with caution and try to read his hand, and if it's a nitty player trying to push all in on the flop you may consider folding because it's like 5BB - 7BB in the pot at this point and there's no need to throw away your stack.
@@Плут-с2о that’s rarely how it goes though, 7BB to someone shoving all in for 200 BBs? Even if they did I’d probably still call, because does AJ really do that? It’s not like they know you’ve got J9.
K-J is the Kirk Cousins of poker hands. It looks great until its up against anything decent and then it crumbles. I'm willing to get it in with AQ preflop if my opponent meets the following criteria: 1) Opponent an aggro nut who will ship anything preflop and Its profitable long term to stack off with them. Even then, I ask myself could i be a little patient keep it small preflop wait to hit top pair+ and let them ship light when im a bigger favourite. 2) My opponent is someone who is willing to make a lot of light 3-4 bets and will fold everything but the top of their range when I shove and I'm make enough profit by shipping AQ as a bluff (it blocks AA, QQ and AK) to justify getting stacked when my opponent has the goods. Even then, if my table selection is good, I sk, do I need to take this spot, or could I just wait a little bit for one of the fish to give me their money by doing fish things.
Used to play a SUPER Nit who never got his stack in, unless he had a middle set or better. Folded low sets to him a number of times. Bluffed him a lot on scare cards though. Sometimes he would show his hands that he thought went bad. Gotta love the Nits. Small profits from them, but consistent profits.
@@coyote71. Only against one specific player. A SUPER NIT who I have seen just call many times on the river with flopped bottom set. 20,000 hands or so against him. If you want to win at Poker, play the player, not just your hand.
@@Foolish188 Very true. I'm only a novice at microstakes as of yet, but as with anything, the only way to improve is to spend a lot of time and energy into what it is you're doing. I hope the same applies to me in poker haha
Q9s, J9s, J8s, T8s...all are marginal hands at best because the straight or even the flush is not the nuts, but literally no one will fold these live for any amount because they are so pretty. I got stacked with Q9 versus AQ on the flopped straight... made me reevaluate. Not to mention all the times you flop a weak pair or a draw and it never gets there and you end up having to fold.
there is no never in poker, usually it's bad idea to go all in with AQ, but against a player who burned money with weak hands in the previous hands with others and he is obviously tilted you have to open up your all in preflop range, with KJ, AJ I fold to 3bets, but I 3bet with them when the raiser is from late position, small connectors are useless in low stakes, these guys should be played heads-up mostly.
Unless you’re up against a proper fish who’ll call with worse Ax hands, getting it in with AK preflop is kind of a semi-bluff. You’re really hoping villain will fold JJ/TT/99, but of course even if they do call, you still have a solid chunk of equity. And of course if you show up with AK when shoving, the next time when you have AA/KK they’ll be much more likely to call you down with JJ/TT which is great.
In micro bounty tournaments I'd call 100BB shove with AKo in the early stages, after level 5 I like to 'nit' it up and only call below 66BB shoves pre. Also calling QQ to -50BB shoves pre in bounty/turbo tournaments, it seems to do well against the field whether it is mathematically correct or not.
J9 i fold utg and woulda flopped a boat, of course the same is true for 94o. T3o. What im saying is im friggin snakebit, gunshy and tilted.! Im pretty new to poker but i just want to fold in peace!
No 2 cards are a absolute guarantee to win the pot that's why we see pros play thrash hands... it's all about intuition and the betting pattern... some you get right some you don't... if we have a set of rules to win poker would be boring...only difference ia they chase bet and fold better than us...
Your statistics are way off in this video. For KhJd vs KsQd, the figures are actually 25.74% vs 74.26%. Both PokerStove and Equilab come up with these numbers! Still a big statistical underdog, as you would expect, but actually has over twice the chance than you show in the video. Keep these videos coming, though. I look at as many as I can!
A,-K is the most overrated hand in poker. I used to lose more with this hand than any other. A pair of deuces beats it. I have gotten to the point where I do not raise pre-flop anymore with A-K, suited or not, and will only call a small pre-flop raise with it and usually I am right and would have lost the hand if I had played it. I only play.
Do you go "all in" with any of these 5 hands? Also, check out my other video on how to CRUSH Zoom poker games online: ruclips.net/video/XdVdnXFsTKI/видео.html

AQ, is a great blocker for AA,QQ, that's why they almost always show me KK!!
Against the right opponent its a valid light ship, but they need to tick all of the boxes
it unblocks KK 😂
You’ve still got ~30% against KK so it’s not a disaster if you get called. As long you’re getting them to fold enough hands like JJ/TT. Some nits might even fold QQ which is obviously great for you.
That's funny because it's true.
For me blockers only work against flushes with an ace you block. How many times do you see people with the same hands so you have one of the pairs blocked is a fallacy
You're Right-Nathan&Thanks!-Raymond "Mike" Hong!-(I'll Try-To Avoid-Those Hands!-Mike!)😎👍!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I am definitely guilty of over playing these hands. Lately, however, it’s usually only when very short stacked.
Top Pair Top Kicker in a multiway pot should probably be mentioned here too. Most players aren't putting a lot of money in if they can't beat top pair so if you have more than one player willing to put money in then be cautious going all in with TPTK
I've made the mistake a few times recently jamming preflop with AQ and got burnt against AK/AA even QQ. I've learnt my lesson, thanks!
I feel that going all in with just a pair or two pair, even AA, is problematic.. with Aces your brain mailfunctions and before you know it you’re all in against trips or a straight.. it is because it goes so quick online. I often find myself losing because I just go all in too quickly while in general I think I am pretty ok overall.. how can I prevent going in too quickly?

I would wait til $200-$500 depends on your skill level and discipline example if you decide to move up to .10/.25 you have at least 8-20 buy ins. You want to have enough buy ins to feel comfortable for you to bluff and go all ins and hero calls in any situation.
I would agree worth Bon hem on this I tried to move up like that before and it cost me.
You are doing great. But like others Said, either wait until you have like 400-500 ... Or go to smaller stakes than 25. You are doing great. Don't be in a rush. If you go to 25 stakes with 115 account and variance hits you, it Will be hard to recover mentally. Be patient. All the best.

Thought you would mention going all in with a suited hand.
There needs to be more books and guides on how to play low to mid stakes online poker this is where the vast majority of the action is
If you hit child flushes just keep the pot small and don't go all in unless they have a small stack.

Thanks for this vid dude 👍👍👍 very useful poker guide
True story. I once went all in against Ace King with Ace Queen and the only thing that was paired on the board was my Queen. That man had to be fuming.
A5 suited in late position when short stacked someone in the blinds always wakes up with a better Ace!
I'm not trying to go all in with anything unless its down to me and one other person or I have a goof feeling about it which doesn't always work out in my favor. Eventually you'll get in a position where you will have to go all in though so try to make it as favorable for you as possible.
Right before I watched this video I lost a big pot with A-Q to K-K. You hit the nail on the head with these examples.
I ran into Ace King and we still hit a King and Queen on the flop 😂
So, a 7-2 off suit is okay to go all in with, especially tournaments?
Never really saw the value in going all in with anything other than aa.there are some certain multi way pots it makes sense if you are short stacked and are likely to triple up with 1 caller it is ok with AK kk

Reelly enjoy your videos but against the right player on a 55Q flop, especially if you open action with a suited connector more players assume you are betting the Q that's in your range. I play mostly cash so I could be wrong here but the odds of them having the case 5 are pretty low. I ask because I think I'm going to enter a tourney today and really need to tune up my tourney game
None of this matters if you play online poker. Odds don't mean a thing, reckless players playing K3 off beat AK suited more than they don't.
You'd may be thinking ,yea but in the long run. NO, in the long run odds still don't mean a thing. If someone could come up with software that 90% is actually 90% that would be great.
Happy to help, thanks for watching my poker videos!
AA, I dont think I have ever won a hand with pocket A's online.
Agree. I have always had bad luck with pocket aces if going in hard pre-flop. Usually low middle cards flop and some jerk wins the hand not folding their 5 8 os as of course luck has it that they're all low cards that make the board.
I'd have to say a couple of those hands like KJ or AQ get me in trouble but usually only in a cash game against a maniac. Even maniacs hit the nuts sometimes to my 2nd nuts
Good stuff thanks
J9 ..You see people saying "oh I've got a blocker to AJ" so less likely to be up against that hand.
I've nevr had trouble with trips and a bad kicker. I guess I don't get trips often enough.
Pocket queens has cost me the most amount of money at the poker table. It's gotten so bad that I actually started folding those pre-flop. LOL!
People will go all in when they flop two pair or a set with the J9 example you said, and calling there is not the worst thing. Depends on if a nit or a maniac. j9 is not bad to play if you flop a straight. They have to have *exactly* AJ and an aggressive player will raise, every time, with this hand preflop
Pocket Jacks should be on this list
89 suited can be dangerous as many people go broke vs AK on flops of 10, J, Q
KQ is a hand that kills me everytime I go Allin with it. Even AK has failed me more than it's got me big pots
I usually fold them pré-flop when the action get crazy down there, but I'm having trouble with As King
I also do that. Luckily, I only play fast poker, so I don't get to see the outcome, and whether I was right or not.
@@ihavenoname6724 yeah but sometimes it's frustrating because I take a lot of notes on players
@@ihavenoname6724 Fast poker?
Look at the position and stats, if possible, of the open raiser
A lot different to play AK vs e/p, rather than mid or late position
You might just call vs e/p
@@Плут-с2о you know, zoom and the like.
Pocket jacks are my nemesis
AK has been my nemesis recently.
Same
Thank god I found this channel
You forgot about AK, as many times as I got f...ed and the other guy had AA or KK is incredible!
If we do 3betting with wide range (value & light 3-betting) in microstakes, should we have some light 5-betting All-in range (such as A5s) to prevent light 4-betting being profitable?
If you 5 bet only AA, KK, QO, AK you become very predictable. So you need some bluffs and A5s is a great one because card removal effect. But you should do this against a player who has a balanced 4 bet range. If the other player only 4 bets for value you dont need a balanced 5 bet range.
so, when you have a hand with huge REVERSE implied odds, stop shoveling money in.
got it.
AA obv
Pretty much half of these are "you don't have the best poket if it came to all in pre-flop " and the other half is "if yiu make it chances are you have a risky board and if you aren't really good st reading your opponents you will probably loose a lot of money"
TQ causes me all sorts of troubles
Base your moves off table,bb & position if in a tourney.
Guy has 7k in tourney winnings.
I have a million and can’t stress enough to consider all factors before making the decision.
Hello Nathan, thanks for another great video. I have a question about the J9 on the KQT board. Whenever I get into a situation like this and when someone raises, I often put them on top pair or 2 pair hands that I can extract value with (in microstakes). I believe that players at this level quite oftenly would want to go all in with a 2 pair on this flop or even top pair top kicker like AK. In comparison someone with AJ, despite possible, is only a small subset of all possible hands they can have. I am not sure whether I’m winning or losing money by playing this situation this way, but do you think there’s a flaw in my logic?
I agree it seems very conservative to fold J9 on KQT.
You’d have to be fairly deep stacked against a nit. Even then can you really say they don’t have KK/QQ/TT (maybe if they limped preflop) or KQ/KT/QT?
The trouble is a lot of players will play all offsuit combos of AJ, so if you have J9 there’s still 12 combos.
And you only have like 6% equity vs AJ.
No need to throw away 2nd nuts, I think what Nathan refers to is that: 1) don't go crazy on the spot and don't let yourself think that's your pot already, a board can pair later on or a flush comes out. 2) Just play with caution and try to read his hand, and if it's a nitty player trying to push all in on the flop you may consider folding because it's like 5BB - 7BB in the pot at this point and there's no need to throw away your stack.
@@Плут-с2о that’s rarely how it goes though, 7BB to someone shoving all in for 200 BBs?
Even if they did I’d probably still call, because does AJ really do that? It’s not like they know you’ve got J9.
This is useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
Thanks for watching my poker videos, glad they help!
K-J is the Kirk Cousins of poker hands. It looks great until its up against anything decent and then it crumbles.
I'm willing to get it in with AQ preflop if my opponent meets the following criteria:
1) Opponent an aggro nut who will ship anything preflop and Its profitable long term to stack off with them. Even then, I ask myself could i be a little patient keep it small preflop wait to hit top pair+ and let them ship light when im a bigger favourite.
2) My opponent is someone who is willing to make a lot of light 3-4 bets and will fold everything but the top of their range when I shove and I'm make enough profit by shipping AQ as a bluff (it blocks AA, QQ and AK) to justify getting stacked when my opponent has the goods. Even then, if my table selection is good, I sk, do I need to take this spot, or could I just wait a little bit for one of the fish to give me their money by doing fish things.
King Queen off suite is a death nill
You forgot to mention situations set vs overset, which often occur when a player opens 55- on EP-MP and gets HUGE ACTION on any flop out of nowhere.
Used to play a SUPER Nit who never got his stack in, unless he had a middle set or better. Folded low sets to him a number of times. Bluffed him a lot on scare cards though. Sometimes he would show his hands that he thought went bad. Gotta love the Nits. Small profits from them, but consistent profits.
@@Foolish188 if you want to win at poker never but never fold a set when you have the pair in your hand !!!
@@coyote71. Only against one specific player. A SUPER NIT who I have seen just call many times on the river with flopped bottom set. 20,000 hands or so against him. If you want to win at Poker, play the player, not just your hand.
@@Foolish188 Very true. I'm only a novice at microstakes as of yet, but as with anything, the only way to improve is to spend a lot of time and energy into what it is you're doing. I hope the same applies to me in poker haha
JJ of course lol.👊
Bullets have given me the most trouble 😅
Your tracker does not work on gg poker
not necessarily going all in but just playing this hand KT gets me into trouble I feel like more often then not
Q9s, J9s, J8s, T8s...all are marginal hands at best because the straight or even the flush is not the nuts, but literally no one will fold these live for any amount because they are so pretty.
I got stacked with Q9 versus AQ on the flopped straight... made me reevaluate. Not to mention all the times you flop a weak pair or a draw and it never gets there and you end up having to fold.
These are some hands I shouldn't even play, going all in with Q10... why did I do that?
I have finished "second" in so many hands. Very costly mistake. Your baby. flush is a great example!
Painful lesson indeed. Glad this one helped!
there is no never in poker, usually it's bad idea to go all in with AQ, but against a player who burned money with weak hands in the previous hands with others and he is obviously tilted you have to open up your all in preflop range, with KJ, AJ I fold to 3bets, but I 3bet with them when the raiser is from late position, small connectors are useless in low stakes, these guys should be played heads-up mostly.
Yeah against a proper maniac AQ preflop is a monster. But those players are relatively rare.
Exactly, no never, no always, except for it always depends
Not convinced getting it all in with AK preflop is a good idea either. Usually not in my games and definetly not for 100bb+
Yeah, unless you like to flip for your stack and as Nathan points out some flips aren't that close to being flips (i.e.50 - 50)
Unless you’re up against a proper fish who’ll call with worse Ax hands, getting it in with AK preflop is kind of a semi-bluff. You’re really hoping villain will fold JJ/TT/99, but of course even if they do call, you still have a solid chunk of equity.
And of course if you show up with AK when shoving, the next time when you have AA/KK they’ll be much more likely to call you down with JJ/TT which is great.
In micro bounty tournaments I'd call 100BB shove with AKo in the early stages, after level 5 I like to 'nit' it up and only call below 66BB shoves pre. Also calling QQ to -50BB shoves pre in bounty/turbo tournaments, it seems to do well against the field whether it is mathematically correct or not.
Another addition to this list would be the small boat. I've lost more money with the baby boat than any other hand.
The hand that I loose is AKs vs my opponents all in push with AQo. Basically any hand I get my $ in good is a guaranteed looser lol
J9 i fold utg and woulda flopped a boat, of course the same is true for 94o. T3o. What im saying is im friggin snakebit, gunshy and tilted.! Im pretty new to poker but i just want to fold in peace!
No 2 cards are a absolute guarantee to win the pot that's why we see pros play thrash hands... it's all about intuition and the betting pattern... some you get right some you don't... if we have a set of rules to win poker would be boring...only difference ia they chase bet and fold better than us...
AQ are king magnets , it,s a law !
AQ used to be known as the Doyle Bryson, long before 10-2. That's because he said it was a trap hand and he never plays it.
I was listening to this video while playing poker and got dealt Ad Qs during the segment lol.
You mentioned a rule without naming it, that hasn't changed over the years: Never go broke in an unraised pot.
it's called limped pot and he mentions it about three times, what are you talking about
@@terencehill3972 Isn't a limped pot an unraised pot? At least that's what I always thought unraised means. Like nobody entered with a raise.
KK I loose alot of the time ...
Your statistics are way off in this video. For KhJd vs KsQd, the figures are actually 25.74% vs 74.26%. Both PokerStove and Equilab come up with these numbers! Still a big statistical underdog, as you would expect, but actually has over twice the chance than you show in the video. Keep these videos coming, though. I look at as many as I can!
If I have 65 suited and the flop comes 55K I'm getting piles in!
AQ and baby flush
AK. I always lose with AK
Full house with no pocket pairs and holding the lower trips.
..
A,-K is the most overrated hand in poker. I used to lose more with this hand than any other. A pair of deuces beats it. I have gotten to the point where I do not raise pre-flop anymore with A-K, suited or not, and will only call a small pre-flop raise with it and usually I am right and would have lost the hand if I had played it. I only play.
My biggest losing all in hand is QQ
