3 HACKS To Play DRAWS PERFECTLY!
Have you ever wanted to know how to play draws perfectly? Well look no further as Jonathan Little gives you everything that you will need to play straight draws & flush draws PERFECTLY!
It is important to remember that all flush draws and straight draws do NOT have the same value! Generally draws that have overcards to the board will have more equity, especially if your opponent has a marginal holding like a pair.
Flush & Straight draws are incredibly profitable hands if you play them correctly. Here are 3 quick tips to help you make the best possible decision when you have a draw:
1. Raise more often against small bets
2. Raise more often from out of position
3. Do NOT raise high equity draws that would have to fold to a re-raise
🔥 RAISE MORE OFTEN AGAINST SMALL BETS 🔥
Small bets will indicate frequent bets, this means that your opponent will be betting with a very wide range that cannot often face too much aggression. For this reason you should raise frequently to apply pressure to your opponent's marginal hands. On the flip side, you should raise less often against large bets and you should actually fold more often when facing a larger bet size, especially with your worst draws.
🔥 RAISE MORE OFTEN FROM OUT OF POSITION 🔥
From in position, you will realize your equity well. From out of position, you won't! Position is power in poker! Imagine playing a game of rock/papper/scissors and always getting to act last. You would win every single time! Poker isn't as simple as this but it gives you a good idea on the importance of position.
🔥 Do NOT Raise/Fold Your High Equity Draws 🔥
Draws with decent equity that would have to fold to an all-in usually do not raise. It is a disaster when you have a lot of equity but are forced to fold to a huge raise size as you will often not be getting the correct price to mathematically call.

Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

I love your advice and content. But can you please start to provide more content with 8 and 9 handed strategies, because most tournaments aren't six handed.
I find this way of teaching very effective for me. I find the charts overwhelming. It is impossible to memorize the charts and most training don't teach the "why" behind the charts in a manner that makes sense to me. This episode explained the logic behind the charts. This was helpful.

Yes the why is often missing so that the theory, the reason is omitted. Thus listening here is like listening to music without knowing how to play. The teaching doesn't have the equity "why" and the thought process that goes into arriving at the "why". Most instruction fails for that reason.

I agree. Jonathan’s way of explaining the theory and why it works is what makes him one of, if not the best coach on KZread. So many of his videos have been put in to practice and it just makes sense. I fully believe he’s the reason I’ve gone from a losing 1/2 player to a winning 2/5-5/10 player
I was a losing player until I followed you and I'm a winner now....actually doing really well 😎 small adjustments just and not tilting like the Titanic anymore lol

raise smaller bets more and bigger bets less... got it!
Watched your video on my way back to the Bay Area today. Entered the Run Good Bankroll builder for $135. I called a raise out of the BB with 96 spades heads up. Flop was 8 spades 65 diamonds. I check raise the flop and take it down!
I shall be adopting this in my home game in a few weeks 💪🏻
Thank you for the videos Jonathan, making it to the money way more often after watching a bunch of ur vids. Yesterday made it fifth on pko tournament with field of 3k+ players.
19:24 also, I am curious about the colors on the grid. I believe orange means raise, green means call but what does blue and gray mean? why is AA gray as is J7 offsuit?
I agree with you 1000% in a game full of donks you don't won't to raise draws no body is folding you want to keep as many folks in the pot as possible, when your straight comes in at least 3 donks are calling when you shove.
Alweays love your content! Thank you for sharing i will be happy to play my next turnaments this week. Cheers Dario

"5% of the time is almost never" he says. i can hear the poker gods laughing 😂
Very nice..
For your example, you say "you will raise 22% of the time". Ok fine. But how does it unfold at tables ? So I have to not raise 78 times in a row, and then 22 times in a row I will raise ? How to apply that correctly ? Should we consider wind direction ? Air pressure ? Temperature ? I'm joking of course, but this is to say that it's pretty difficult to use this rule accordingly IMO. thanks anyway for the great content! 👍
What’s the adjustment if your playing a nit who only C-bets if they connected with the board? If they still bet small are you still supposed to check raise with these hands?
Are these scenarios heads up or multi way ?
what does it means the grey combinations in the chart?
how are all these hands like 93 and 82o in there in the first place? That seems pretty wide defend. But I guess I am not as optimistic or good as the GTO pro.
I play in a seriously soft 1$/2$ cash game here I definitely need to exploitatively under raise because I have no fold equity. Also I'm usually not heads up, I am in a lot of multiway pots. I think the strategy is pretty much to just play a tighter range across the board. Move many of my draws to my check calling range to realize equity, and try to pile it in when I have the goods. I think I am looking for it to be more complicated than that but its not. Sometimes I do feel like I am too nitty in this game but it seems like theappropriate exploit. I do think there is more opportunity to barrrel it off more especially since despite how wide villains are calling pre and post flop on the river, there is an opportunity to bluff hands since they are not arriving at the river balanced at all. I do have your book Jonathan on mastering small stakes. I am going through it a second time right now. Are there hand breakdowns of you playing in any truly wild cash games? Like where standard raise is 8-10x and are usually 3-5 handed to every flop?

You’re exactly right, just tighten up like crazy and fast play nutted hands since you’re against a lot of opponents, all who have a little bit of equity and make your hand more vulnerable
@randylahey8207

You're playing it just right. Be prepared to rebuy, and play a nutted range to exploit people who call too much. There are situations to bluff, they're just very player dependent. Build an image first as tight, then bet big in spots when scary cards come in that will push off even the biggest calling stations. Used to play in a game like that, and once I adjusted it was easy pickings. Not necessarily the most interesting poker, but profitable nonetheless...

@@PokerCoaching thank you for all the help. I had never played poker before a month ago, lost $200 within 5 minutes of sitting down for a cash game at my local casino. Then I bought and listened to your book strategies for beating small stakes poker and studied the preflop charts on your website. Which lead to me getting 5th place in a tournament at Caesar’s palace in Vegas last weekend. Now I need to figure out how to play when I miss the flop.
exploit every street to the max. all day everyday. The true gto.
It's counter intuitive to me to raise with shittier draws....but I don't dare argue with the GTO gods lol

its risk management imo, when u have a weak draw the risk of getting to showdown with nothing (or making ur draw and still losing) is high
Is there a difference in the approach in low/high stake games? And how does this approach differ in cash games/tourneys? If it even differs anyhow :D

Yes, you should always take advantage of what your opponents do incorrectly.
Clarification please - preflop the suited combos on your range chart indicate any given suited combo. Confirm that your range chart for post-flop play indicates a suited combo as ONLY the suit with the draw on the board. All other hands eg. suited in hearts/clubs/diamonds on the first example with the spade draw, are now counted as 'offsuite.' Is this correct interpretation?

The range charts show all combinations of hands that are available as played.
Folding a 28% draw needing 33%: Plus surely you can make that extra 5% on turn and/or river.

In my experience, playing your possible range at a 1/2 table is how you lose all your money to bottom pair. Too many donks. Unless the game is filled with regs, I’m playing 1/2 extremely tight and going huge when I have a made hand.

So 72o gets there on the flop, and calls a pot sized bet with A Q on the board and bottom pair. Gotcha.
