One of my biggest bluff was vs a huge calling station. I told him “you’ve been calling me all night, I know you’re calling” and he folded :) I cashed out +2500 in 2 hours of 2/5 or 1/3, don’t remember. He was calling me in other spots a lot when I had it. It’s ok to bluff them after they paid you off a lot.
Yep, sometimes it works. But imagine the feeling in your stomach, when he snap calls you ;-)
Referring to the hand where the whale wins with 72: Greenstein in his book "Ace on the river" says something aligning with "don't berate him and start giving him a rant, instead just be thankful for being at the right table".
That's exactly it! Smart man this guy.
What a great video about a great book. Thanks for the review!
Love your channel man👍keep making vids
Thanks! Appreciate it! Ad glad to hear that my videos provide value.
i needed to hear this!!!
So you just made a video on how to beat calling stations and your tip is bluffing them ? No man . Just tighten up . 3 bet them in position. Beat their value with your value. And dont play shorthanded tables with them.
Why not the shorthanded tables?
@johnchristopher1260 I was just thinking the same thing and would prefer it actually.
Think he means short stacked @@johnchristopher1260
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
That's really helpful thank you
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Great video
Thank you!
Thank you for the video sir and the great content as always.
👍👍👍👍
The book by Alex Fitzgerald that you are mentioning in this video is this a book for cashgame players or tournament players?
Or a bit of a mix of both?
I'm a cashgame player so if it's a cashgame related book then i am seriously thinking about buying it because i like Alex Fitzgerald's work and i do play regularly in these 'no folding type' of cashgames.
Thank you, I appreciate it! Glad to hear that the content has provided some value.
The book is both for cash and tournament. The examples are probably 50/50, but pretty much everything in the book applies to cash games. I am a cash player myself and found it very valuable.
@@LivePokerGuide 👍👍👍👍Thank you for clearing this up and for your honest opinion.
What is the name of the software you showed here ? The one where u where showing the ranges, not the hand replayer? Ty
I'm not entirely sure which one you mean. I used Flopzilla and Equilab.
I made a video about the latter one, if you're interested:

To me, the hardest player type to adjust to is the guy that bets on every street no matter what. Literally every street, every hand, he takes a shot at it by betting. Sometimes it's small, sometimes it's bigger, but it's never bigger than like half pot. I'm not even talking about a specific person. This is a player type I occasionally run across and it's hard to pick your spot with them. Odds are they usually don't have a hand, but if you raise them with a bluff, they often call. A lot of these players are a cross between calling stations and donk betting annoyances. But especially if I have a middling hand it's often difficult to deal with them. If I don't raise their small bets, they often get there with random overs or backdoor draws and it's like they named their price the whole way. Maybe you can make a video on this type of player.
I hear you! This player type is indeed very frustrating to play against. My first question would be to ask: is he a good/winning player or not? Because there are really good players who do that. They are a real pain in the neck, and you should stay away from them if possible.
If he is just an aggro fish, then just call them down with top pair or better - or even raise them with monsters (if you really think that they call your raise).
Agreed; if they're good just try to not get involved and play tight. They're just gonna kill your winrate and there's no need to get involved in an ego battle. :)
If they're not that good, then they're just spewy. I don't agree with just calling down with TP; I think we need to hit these guys with a decent diet of x/r as a counter. Otherwise they simply win too much of the distribution, especially since as you say, our TP won't always hold up against their random 2 cards.
I like a polarized x/r range against these villains since they "don't have it" so often that it's a big win for our range when we take it down with a low-equity bluff. Plus when they continue against those hands, we don't mind giving up/folding. And of course with the thick value part of our polarized range we're just never folding.
My local casino recently opened a 4-table poker "room". 50% are locals who seem to know each other outside poker. Many calling stations but also a lot of players who play A2C. Can't tell you how many 2 pairs show down holding 6-2, Q-7off, J-4. You must only play value. It can be frustrating because your VPIP is going to be low and you may be watching someone on a heater just rake in chips.
Yes absolutely, in these games, you have to reduce your bluffing frequency a lot and bet for value when you have it.
Hi Andrea:there is an interesting hand I want to share with you.i It was 3 5 with max buy in of 1500 and opponent got me cover and I had 1000 in my stack,I had Q9 club on the button and I called against a 45 dollar open from the MP. The flop came 678 with 2 clubs, opponent jam 1200 all in on a 90 dollar pot, what the heck, I was tank for 30 seconds and decided to called with the intention of hitting my 2 live card also and I put him on Ak. If he got over pair he would not put out an intimate bet like that. Unfortunately, turn 3 diamond and river 4 spade and opponent show AK spade ♠️ and I lost. I completely missed all my outs and lost 1300 this session. Last 2 weeks been a very rough for me, may I ask about your thoughts about this hand?
Thanks for sending over this hand. I think it shows that you need to work on your fundamentals.
Your read was correct that he had AK, although I am not sure why you really thought that. If I have no info on a player, I would not think that he has AK there. But that's not even the point.
My point is preflop. You made a massive blunder by calling 9BB open! If you look at solvers, they would not call absolutely anything in that spot. And I agree, there is no hand in the world I would call with in this spot. Just 3bet or fold. Your exact hand is a fold all day long.
I think you would benefit from watching this video:

@@LivePokerGuideThanks Andrea, I will sure work more on the fundamentals, my blunder was the pre flop and I should have folded at that spot. And I will watch that video to learn
@@LivePokerGuideThe reason I thought he had a big bluff hand was the bet doesn’t make sense to a strong hand, and this player is on tilt after he called an all in 2000 dollars plus pre flop with AJ off suit against AA with another player. He was in a hurry to make his money back
Haha I can't believe you used me as an example! I don't think the préflop was 65 GBP though. I feel honoured and insulted at the same time though 😅
Hehe, well deserved ;-)! And yes, you did call £65 after you raised to £20. I couldn't believe it either. Well, it worked out well for you.
Value bet thinner and bigger and value bet until you get raised.
He didn't cold call 65 w 72
He was the preflop raiser for 20
No, he didn't cold call; he raised and then called a 3bet oop.
You need to be more specific when referring to "loose" players... as LAG and loose weak/passive is much different
Of course there are different types of loose players. But players who never fold tend to be loose weak/passive and not so much good LAGs.
IMO the best way to beat these types is just pay attention stop looking at your phone. I had a crazy player his first name was action . When the time was right we got into a pot that was small but the river bet huge . Since I had been waiting to catch this fool I knew some stuff about him already. Still a crying river call everything gets there but I know he has air . So I call and win a huge one with 55 unsuited.
I would only call with 55 suited
@@iamamish at least u read the whole comment that's what's important. You should come play at Lucky Lady casino everybody is a donkey including me .
@@DrDabb47 if you’re a donkey I’m not sure what that makes me, the guy who managed to find 55 suited in his range
@@iamamish your a hope -a -Tron.
Would you have called wirh 55 suited 😂 ?
Oh yes, those guys. Like when I had QQ and he chased wheel gushot to hit it on the rive and felt me. And then five hands later, where I had JJ against is A2 and I had 75% equity on 852 flop but he turned the 2 to once again felt me. Those guys. What I have discovered, and the reason that I am really starting to suspect that making money at poker is a myth, is that I can grind up just fine for hours, but lose all my money in one or two hands that are either coolers or bad beats. Also - I lose all my money with strong hands. overpairs, two pair and even sets. I don't think it's about what I have as much as it's about others willing to fold. Just that simple. And this bit about you're making money when people are playing bad is something I'm also growing quite skeptical about. No, I'm not making money. I'm rebuying. If I were making money, I wouldn't be rebuying. Sure, we make it on the grind when they miss and/or fold and we take down small pots. But lose it all in big pots where they get lucky.
I totally understand your frustration, and I understand that you're becoming sceptical about the "you make money". But all I can say is that mathematically it's true. You are just being way too results oriented. If you want to control results fully, you need to play chess.
But the problem is that in chess there is hardly any money to win. In poker, there's lots of money to be won. The reason for that is that donkeys can suck out on you.
@@LivePokerGuide Yeah, I am focusing a little too much on the bad beats. Some hands are totally my fault, as well. the hardest part of poker is keeping the faith when things go sideways. I appreciate your response and your channel. Thank you.
I like your content,
but bluff overbetting on the river on KQxxA where villian has easy all 16 JT kombos is an awful play 😅
I think you should bluff for around potsize in this spot,
this should be enough to target one pair hands and will be less expensive for you if villian rivered the nuts ✌️
Fair enough. Pot sized bet might get the job done.
I am not a calling station!
Value town
Had a very simlar thing happen to me at my last session guy was in the game for 2k just dumping money i wake up with kk on the button utg raised to 15 one caller and the action guy to my right in the cutoff raised to 100 i 3 bet to 400 to isolate and he calls in already thinking 10s plus or a/k a/q type hand flop comes 2,4,9 two spades he checks i c bet on the smaller side 200 hoping he jams and he does. I snap call holding the k of spades the guy flips over 2/4 offsuit 😂 i was heated but didnt loose my cool. At the end of the day you want those calls. You just dont want them to hit lol long story short i ended up getting my money back from the other players but was never able to get into another hand with the crazy guy he ended up dumping it all back to the other players.
Love they called, hate that they got there.
Urgh, that hurts! But same as in my situation, it's great that they put so much money in with that junk.
These guys may seem like donkeys, and yes they can be exploited, but they’re not dumb and can make your life hell in short run. By not folding they’re tying to make you play more face up, so you won’t try to triple barrel with AK cause they’re not afraid to call down with bottom pair. It’s their way of probing for weakness so you will x/f all the times you miss or bluff you whenever the board gets scary for you.
Honestly, I think you're giving some of these guys way too much credit.
Trying to bluff a calling station is terrible advice.
Absolutely!
