I'm 1 minute into video and haven't watched. I just play linear and very few bluffs. I'm definitely up but interested in to see how many mistakes I can correct....
8:34 "If you're listening to the sound of my voice and watching this video right now, you are much more hardcore than you realize" What a confidence boost. Thanks!
This video is the BEST 2 hours on how to destroy micro stakes. SO much value. I love Alex Fitzgerald and his approach. One day brother, I will have you as a coach!!
I just got back into poker fairly recently, and this is the most helpful video I have found online so far. there isn't much time wasted on things that are too obvious. i also like that it is specifically about low stakes
Holy dam, I have never gotten so much slaps across the face ... I was doing many of the mistakes mentioned in this video. I finished it today and implemented what I learned and instead of a slightly positive or negative day, I ended the day 540 Big Blinds in the positive!!! This helped fix MAJOR leaks in my post flop game(where I bled most of my money). Thank you so much!!!
Pushing all in on the 2nd example seems like a weird push. I guess losing just 3 dollars is not a big deal but still that seems like an overall losing strategy.
I sometimes call to see the persons hand 😅😂. I am new at this. So it's ( I guess) helping to learn how often (almost never) someone bluffs with big bets.
I’m only halfway through this but absolutely loving it and damn am I making some of these mistakes but the question I have is do you have something like this for cash games in the micros?
I've tried to talk to people about GTO at my local cardroom(not a small city, quite a few players). It's mind BOGGLING how many people are against GTO and even MORE MIND BOGGLING the reasons. I suffered a bad beat and a friend(with a straight face) said "See, GTO cannot account for bad beats." I asked him what his philosophy was and how in the world he's strained the luck out of poker.
I noticed you didnt mention "ranges" at all, or very little if you ddi and missed it... is there a reasob you weren't trying to put the villains on their positional ranges?.... p s., much appreciate this video great help and teachings
I guess I've been cbetting more than I should be (at least exploitatively). Like the reason you cbet on good equity boards is partly so they have to call you when you actually hit right? But they aren't even thinking about that. And I am definitely one of those people who WANTS to believe they will fold to a bluff and they just don't, but then also bets too small hoping not to scare them off. The way to beat micros is to make them pay to see that river.
watched it all, i realize my post flop play onward is suboptimal, i try to take down a lot of pots early esp if i have the lead, i wouldve bet many times when he just checked, guess thats why i have a loty to learn.
If the opposing players at the table are not calling pre flop shoves with their smaller stacks, 20 -30 big blinds, should you change your strategy and start making small raises with premium hands? I mean, you do want to get these stacks to commit at some point, right?
I had a situation this friday on a "home game". We started playing cash 1/2 with 200$ after 2-3 hours i was chip leader with 1500$ got the fish on the table few times when he bluffed me with high cards and etc, but i was in a situation that i thought about whole night and even now... i had AK off suited we were 5 people on the table i was on the button CO raise to 10$ he was very loose i 3bet to 25$ flop comes A 10 5 all spades, villain raise 40$ i 3bet him to 120$ turn comes another A, he checks i raised 200$ he called river came the worst card... 2 of spades, 4 spades on board i didnt had any spade villain snap raise to 400$, i thinked about bluffing.. but i caught him in 2-3 situations like this i dont think he will repeat the mistake.. i folded my AK trips... did i played it right ? What were you going to do on my place?
Great material as always thanks Alex and Jonathan I have been trying to dominate micros for quite some time (couple years?) and I wish I would have the time to just play everyday... tbh I have spent so much on training videos etc that I guess I am quite down on my poker investment, but I don't consider it a loss, just an investment... Difficult to make money at the micros unless you end up winning one of those crazy 2000-5000 player MTTs or whatever, I mean, it is really difficult to make real money there and it can be very frustrating, honestly I was even sweating some of the spots because I am like "omg we flopped third pair with QQ again XD". I wonder to what extent these adjustments apply to slightly higher MTTs like 16 to 22 USD buy ins for example.
can you do one on microstake cash games ? a lot of the strategies of going all in short stacked arent SUPER helpful in cashgames since it’s rare to ever rlly be under like:.. 60BB unless I guess you’re specifically into playing a short stack strategy. but ya like I cant see myself risking $5 to pick up $0.17 (and defend my $0.05) with ATs
The KJo from the BTN vs UTG doesn't seem to be a GTO fold at all, what's the idea here? I understands micro players aren't too familiar with GTO usually, however what's the thought process? That they have a tighter range than GTO? Surely you could easily make the case that a micro player could be either tighter or looser, thus meaning GTO is still the sweetspot you should apply unless you have info on the player. Really don't see why this hand isn't a call IP.
Ya...but if i have soo much bad luck....when i go all in, whith better cards most allawas....and i lose.... Who i can't mange this...an exemple....yo KK and villan AQ off suite....and he win....
Ive applied the second example three times now and lost all-ins. Not sure this is quite a sustainable strategy. And yes, I did this only when I had hands like A8s and other strong hands.
Ok IDK if you will ever even read this but I have a question. Great content by the way thank you. I will be utilizing this information tonight in fact. Anyway my question is on the after the flop segment @ 46 minutes in, the A7 hand. You decided to play and caught your mid pair is there anything wrong with leading with a small to mid sized bet just to get information. Yes it's a spade heavy flop but how do you know unless you make some kind of bet that they ain't bluffing you. Fuck I would, you checked into me. By making a 1/4 to 1/2 sized pot bet if they missed they would fold, but if they didn't they are gonna call or raise then you know for a fact yeah I'm beat. Am I wrong in my way of thinking? Again excellent content thank you.
Im confused. Alex tells us over and over again about how we basically shouldnt bother trying to bluff on microstakes tournaments because they dont fold now suddenly at 1:44:30 we are check raising after missing the flop???
Yeah, I actually think donk betting is superior here because we can go 66-75% pot making the bluff much cheaper (maybe go 5k chips and that is half the money we spend to bluff). The board hits a BB def range quite well... I thought Alex would recommend donking. Check raising players who like to cbet a lot works very well in the micros, I even like going for XR from the BB on A high disconnected boards because people see the A on the board and "represent" it way too much - especially vs late position raisers. But in a low connected I like donking, opponent should fold anything worse than a pair and if they continue oh well we are done with the hand unless we hit TP and that's it. But maybe I am just crazy XD
EXCELLENT POINT. IT TAKES ENERGY TO BLUFF AND PLAY LIKE A MANIAC. IT COSTS MASSIVE ENERGY. YOU CANT PLAY IT HOURS AND HOURS LIKE THAT. --------------- AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THE HELL YOU CAN SHOVE ALL SORT OF RANGES AND HOPE TO WIN. --------------
First off, great video with a lot of awesome information… But for fucks sake dude y’all need to cut back on the ads… This is a 2 hour long video and every 5 fucking minutes there’s an ad playing
No offence but I don't love this video as much as the others. Unlike your other videos, it doesn't start with the GTO strategy, and explain reasons or heuristics around how and why you would deviate from GTO in that spot to be exploitative. Like at 18:00 for example, you say to fold that KJo from the BN. But KJo on the BN vs an UTG raise is a GTO call. But you don't explain that, and you don't explain why you would fold that hand, even after you said you think the UTG might be loose, which should be more conviction to call with the bottom of your range, which is KJo according GTO (modern poker theory ranges). I'm sorry for the criticism but i hope you can take it constructively, because otherwise i think you make excellent content most of the time, but to me, this specific video is just a few specific examples that don't tell you how or when to deviate generally.
@Conor M You still need some type of strategy regardless of the stakes. What is the strategy here? Is it to play tighter than normal and shave off the bottom of your range at micro stakes? Otherwise it seems like he's just playing by "feel", which will end up being inconsistent and can lead to mistakes.
@ErDaddy Did we watch the same video? He explained each street in each hand and deviated far from GTO depending on the player, their tendencies, stack size, position etc etc. You're thinking "GTO says this, solver says that", but that largely goes out the window at these stakes.
IT IS MIGHTY DIFFICULT. THE ABOVE DUDE SPENT 20 YEARS THERE! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SO BE READY TO GET BIATCH SLAPPED BY A TRUCK DRIVER BECAUSE CARD FELL IN HIS FAVOUR AND YOU HAD AKKK,AA,AJ AND IN YOUR HAND AND ON THE BUTTON WHEN ALL CALLED AND YOU STUDIED ALL THESE POSITIONS,EQUITY,GPO,ICM ET ALL!!!!! ================= I KID YOU NOT. TRUCK DRIVER WILL PUNK YOU OR A JANITOR AND THAT PAIN IS IMMENCE. ======================= BECAUSE MIND ACCEPTING DEFEAT IS VERY PAINFUL! THE ELEMENT OF LUCK IS THE ONLY NEUTRALIZER IN TOWN! HE GOT THAT CARD AND YOU DID NOT FAIL TO NOTICE. IT WILL PUNK SOLVERS TOO AS SOLVERS ARE DESIGNED BY HUMAN BEINGS( LIKE CHESS ENGINES)
your rationale for folding the Q9o in the first example is completely absurd...stating that just because a losing player is going to lose more than the big blind on average by calling with Q9 does not make it a fold, as it is leaks postflop that are the reason it is losing more than the big blind, not that it is a bad call....it's akin to telling someone who is a losing player that the correct strategy is to just not play poker...
You should stop promoting this game at micros that are unbeatable.Not because you can't beat them but the rake is unbeatable.By promoting this as a viable road you are being dishonest.You pro players all do coaching because there is no money in this anymore due to the bad bonus systems and massive increase in rake .Chuck into that the Dug Polk ev fact that after 5 million hands his expected EV was just not believable.Karma is a given in life and if you continue you are doing yourself and others a bad service .
this guy is very weak passive. if your playing microstakes, playing that way people will run you over. they will constantly bluff and raise you. microstakes players are very over aggressive and bluffy. i think the best strategy is to wait for a good hand and play it hard, tight and aggressive is the best, wait till you get a good hand and board and let the fish hang themselves
I've watched this 3 or 4 times now and may not seem significant to most but I was wondering how many micro or low stakes tourneys u busted out while creating this content. Also thanks again for taking the time to make this
On the hand at 1:10. What I do to talk myself out of wanting to see that loop closed and calling bad is I ask myself. Can I find a better spot vs this player to get my money in. Usually the answer is yes. He might be tricking me. If so he got me this hand. But I'll find a better spot to put him to the test.
Talk less. 2 minutes max on each hand so I don't have to skip forward every hand. 1:03:00 Check Raise: 1500 -> 5000. Why don't you mention it in the ten minutes that follow?
Not much info on positions, stack sizes or player types but I’d not jam all in with a set when there’s a flush draw on the board and a straight draw which he hit both. What was the betting pre flop? He’s got the nut straight on that board.
I noticed in the video that u checked when oop in hu pots as the preflop aggressor several times, are you always supposed to do this and I just didn’t know, as I would just lead as the preflop aggressor
I really hope the guy who bet pot on the 3 flush board was bluffing. My first instinct on that 3 flush board was to raise, you will find out real quick whether or not he has a flush there.
Yep, I agree, best video on this topic I've seen! HOWEVER, since you've been kind enuf to improve my game, I'm going to improve yours. This is going to test your emotional intelligence but being so very intelligent, I'm guessing you can take it. Your tone of voice tends to be a bit harsh and a bit condescending when making a big point. This is what drove little kids crazy in 3rd grade. A better "VOICE" is the happy-because-you-are-a-winning-player tone- more entertaining, more friendly, WAY easier to listen to. GRINDING WORDS - NO! NO! NO! What is grinding? It's what your Mother did at the end of her words- elongating them in a VERY irritating way, kind of GRINDING that last syllable, or more technically, often the last phoneme. It's how the word AND morphs into the EEEEEYYYYOOOOOONNNNNDDDDD abortion that you pronounce. And is a one syllable word. It should be pronounced as such. Practice saying it as FAST AND COMPACT as you possibly can. You grind many other words too, but once you realize you're doing it, and once you realize how it can affect an audience, I have faith that you can CHECK-RAISE this behavior and take a more profitable line.
@@Johnclouth the grinding words are very irritating but I was mistaken about tone. It was Johnathon who is so sarcastic and condescending, not this guy. He is very nice. Sorry. In any case, these videos are freaking awesome and these guys are geniuses. If I practice for a hundred years I could never be as good as Alex.

Adjust tho to better players. Bet hard into calling stations with good hands.

Seems like a crazy amount of all ins. One wrong move against a monster or a bad beat and you’re out of the tournament.
It's to accumulate chips. Good players cash high or win bigger often. Most people ate just happy to min cash
Hey so maybe a noob question, but to what extent do these strategies apply to cash games?
Very much so!
Great video, and as a bonus for you, you just sold an audio book as a result.
If the opposing players at the table are not calling pre flop shoves with their smaller stacks, 20 -30 big blinds, should you change your strategy and start making small raises with premium hands? I mean, you do want to get these stacks to commit at some point, right?

Loved this video - thanks so much for the content you all put out.
I've watched this 3 or 4 times now and may not seem significant to most but I was wondering how many micro or low stakes tourneys u busted out while creating this content. Also thanks again for taking the time to make this
Nicholas Cage and Doug Polk had a baby...
On the hand at 1:10. What I do to talk myself out of wanting to see that loop closed and calling bad is I ask myself. Can I find a better spot vs this player to get my money in. Usually the answer is yes. He might be tricking me. If so he got me this hand. But I'll find a better spot to put him to the test.
Talk less. 2 minutes max on each hand so I don't have to skip forward every hand.
1:03:00 Check Raise: 1500 -> 5000. Why don't you mention it in the ten minutes that follow?
My hand: [6h 6s]
Flop: [6c 2c 3d]
I raise 50x and get called
River: [4c]
I go all in and get called and lose to [7c 5c]
Why did you go all-in?
Not much info on positions, stack sizes or player types but I’d not jam all in with a set when there’s a flush draw on the board and a straight draw which he hit both. What was the betting pre flop? He’s got the nut straight on that board.
I noticed in the video that u checked when oop in hu pots as the preflop aggressor several times, are you always supposed to do this and I just didn’t know, as I would just lead as the preflop aggressor
This lesson is awesome and the way of teaching is so straight and clear, leaves no doubt that it worth looking👍 Thx so much!
I really hope the guy who bet pot on the 3 flush board was bluffing.
My first instinct on that 3 flush board was to raise, you will find out real quick whether or not he has a flush there.
Yep, I agree, best video on this topic I've seen! HOWEVER, since you've been kind enuf to improve my game, I'm going to improve yours. This is going to test your emotional intelligence but being so very intelligent, I'm guessing you can take it.
Your tone of voice tends to be a bit harsh and a bit condescending when making a big point. This is what drove little kids crazy in 3rd grade. A better "VOICE" is the happy-because-you-are-a-winning-player tone- more entertaining, more friendly, WAY easier to listen to.
GRINDING WORDS - NO! NO! NO! What is grinding? It's what your Mother did at the end of her words- elongating them in a VERY irritating way, kind of GRINDING that last syllable, or more technically, often the last phoneme. It's how the word AND morphs into the EEEEEYYYYOOOOOONNNNNDDDDD abortion that you pronounce.
And is a one syllable word. It should be pronounced as such. Practice saying it as FAST AND COMPACT as you possibly can. You grind many other words too, but once you realize you're doing it, and once you realize how it can affect an audience, I have faith that you can CHECK-RAISE this behavior and take a more profitable line.
Haha I can’t tell if this is a meme or you’re legit a tweaker
@@Johnclouth the grinding words are very irritating but I was mistaken about tone. It was Johnathon who is so sarcastic and condescending, not this guy. He is very nice. Sorry. In any case, these videos are freaking awesome and these guys are geniuses. If I practice for a hundred years I could never be as good as Alex.
300/600 is not microstakes. Far, far from it.
