Now, if only you had a robust teaching method that demonstrated your approach was far superior than, say, Red Chip's. I.e. validated through the data from other individuals rather than just from you because these results are much more likely to be your ungodly level of skill than the ranges. For people without those skills, tighter ranges are at least a bit more prudent. Anyway, entertaining as always.

Well if you're going to set the ball so perfectly for me, it would be rude not to spike it. imgur.com/a/YJBzvq6 Clockwise from the top right: 1) Henry got banned from his private game and then moved to $1/2 Ignition Zone, where he was immediately a crusher. 2) Alec started at $25NL at the beginning of 2020 and began playing $5/10 in August, and even played at the same table against me at ~$3k. 3) An Overnight Monster playing $5/10 on N8 against Goose.Core and coolering him.

I really don't understand the perspective of 'lets get basic strategies given to people who have never played poker before and compare them to what a solver does'. Half the videos with attacks on Red Chip, J Little, Splitsuit etc. seem to miss the whole point of these, they're basic strategies that if you carry out you won't go far wrong. This is the kind of thing I would give my Dad if he was playing his first poker game, is it perfect or near optimal for either GTO or heavily exploitable? No. Is it better than having random ranges and opening the same range from every position? Absolutely. Teaching an absolute beginner to play like a LAG before they've understood basic game mechanics, post flop play etc. is a much quicker way to burn money IMO.

Actually my strategies are easier to recognize and execute, give up less exploitative counterplay from a pure gto perspective, and are more robust facing any opponent. You're missing the point about why their strategies are so bad as even a starting point. Again, many of my players come to me at very low limits and I still insist they play loose, then they crush. It's not stylistic opinion, it's quantifiable exploits based on pure math and very little "sense" of what is good or bad.

@@AlvinTeachesPoker how about the 10% rake in lower limits ? In another video you share very tight ranges. And here you talk about being more lose to have a better red line.

I always like the positive energy you bring to your videos and the alternative views an approaches you use and talk about!!! So I wanted to say thank you and please dont stop posting.

Glad to see newer contents being uploaded at a faster pace from u Alvin! Your videos are extremely valuable for me brother and one of 2 people on KZread that I trust for quality poker assessment. Keep shining on these fools. They hating cause for the first time, they being burnt by you outshining them in poker & coaching instead of what they usually expect, burnt by throwing shades. Haha!

Great video, sir! Thank you for more great content.

TY Alvin , great tips !

Very eye opening, thank you very much!

Refreshing! TY

Awesome video!!

Wow. This hurts my feelings a little but excited to get some coaching from you in the near future!

how are you adapting the opening ranges vs. limps? are you just treating the limps as "opens" and then raising your 3betting range from that position?

Alvin, you took down one of my favorite video, the one where you showed us how to incorporate overbets on the turn. Will you re-upload that any time soon?

Hi Alvin how did your 4betting do OOP? You have a way higher stat for that than the sim you showed - your sim recommended you only 4b KK+/AK right even COvBTN which would be somewhere around 10%, but your stats for UTG-CO are around 20%....

When you say postflop training wheels/GTO simplifications, what does this mean? Like just range betting 1/3 on most flops?

I bet or check my entire range!

I just download the current Red Chip "bulletproof" ranges, and the current version doesn't look nearly as tight as the version shown in this video - and it now comes with a couple of paragraphs justifying why the ranges are not "perfect GTO ranges". I'd say acting on the comments in this video is acknowledgement the video is right.

In Zone poker I feel like people are just calling me down with anything, they aren't folding to barrels if they have anything at all, and if you check they're making gross sized bets with any pair or draw. But then when I decide to fight back, I always run into their big hands. I wish I could afford your school but unfortunately I'm not making enough yet.

@john hunter. I like Alvin, i like his strategy and I tried an experiment applying it (long before i saw his videos). And yes, it works very well. BUT: Depending on many factors: What are your level of experience, which room are you playing in, etc, etc. So, for instance, this doesn't apply 100 % or almost at all if you are a beginner which is "forced" to be agressive when you are ashley by default a very calm or risk averse person. Yes, you can develop it to that point, but how much money you have to burn until you get there no one is tolding you. The same, it may apply in America or Asia on rooms like Bovada, Bodog and others. But in Europe and on Poker stars, try this stragtegy with cautious. Even in those microlimits there are a ton of maniacs and ultimate station whales (like u said) than tight scaried fishes, you'll never run the people over with blind agression. So as a baseline, a solid TA strategy is bringing you much more EV here. But i agree, this red line chart is way too tight. Anyway, my rule before all others: just pay attention on the tables, what are people doing and adjust accordingly. So, never play on autopilot, blinded based on some GTO ranges, some gurus charts, etc, etc. Cheers.

Actually if you look into the gto book "Applications of no limit holdem" they are opening 47.5% from button which is with opening aize of 3.5bb so your 54% is total inline with gto play if your opening size is less than 3.5bb. So i agree red chip ranges are too tight specially if they are opening 2.5bb which they probably are. Thats my understanding i could be wrong, i am not an expert just a beginner trying to understand gto

@@AlvinTeachesPoker that is interesting, because what he has done to calculate is he looks at bet size of 3 bet to see how much percentage our range should we be defending against 3 bet and applied same strategy to calculate the percentage of our range for 4 bet and 5 bet jamming. Then he looks at the EV of 5 bet jamming hands against various ranges. So then based upon the ones which are 0 EV or above he calculates 5 bet range and thus scale back down to calculate opening range which then used will have a 5 bet jamming range of 0 EV or above. Because if you open too wide you will have negative ev hands against various different ranges for 3bet 4bet and 5 bet. This is what i make of it, offcourse i could be wrong as if i understood completely then i would definitely be atleast playing higher stakes . I am not defending or challenging your claim, i am just presenting what i understood.

I do see your point. And it made me question why they would do that at Redchip. I think the reason YOU can play so loose, and they recomend playing quite tight is basically the same reason. You have a huge skill edge. And, these ranges (if they arw part of the CORE curriculum) are aimed at beginners who will mostly be at a skill disadvantage. You clearly teqch higger level stuff, and so this is not a shot at you. Just pointing out. Seem reasonable?

If you haven't been watching my channel, you'll see it's not me cherry picking a 20k sample, it's what I can sustain in these very soft games and in the video I explain how I completely misunderstand the correct river barreling frequency and can dramatically improve my winrate.

Those ranges are trash btw. Ryan Fee had better ranges 10 years ago.

It's pretty easy to complain about free resources not being optimal while not providing your own RFI ranges for free. The GTO solutions cost up to 1000$ for 6max but I don't see those being handed out for free, yet those 1000$ solutions are what this free information is being benchmarked against? Seems kinda weird man.

Then pay money. You can buy gto solutions from a book for the cost of a book, you'd be pretty dumb to pay 1k instead of buying a solver and doing it yourself. If you want everything for free, then don't complain when you get losing information. I tell you exactly how often I raise in this video.
