Listen, i seen myself in a lot of these situations you explain here, not knowing what to do, and just play the hand and hope i didt the right thing and hope for the best. When i see this, i know why my roll is not growing. I even get angry at other people when i should be angry at myself for my mistakes. You are really good. Thank you.

14:44 the scream is perfect for the re-re raise
10:55 I was in an almost identical situation in my game yesterday. I was UTG+2 with A5s, raised to $15 and got 3 callers. Flop came Axx with a fairly disconnected board. In the past, I probably would have bet into my opponents, but thanks to videos like these, I made the right play to check. Guy to my right bet $25, the person to his right called. I ended up folding my top pair. Turns out both people to my right had aces, and both outkicked me. Saved myself a lot of money by check-folding there.
This is so valuable. I used to move to upper stacks if I had the bad day at lower stacks to recover what I lost quickly. Somedays it works perfectly, but when it's not, I screwed up pretty badly. Thanks for this session.
Lost my first $20 in poker, kinda planned for it, needed some experience and feel like Im learning a lot from trying different game types.. Just been studying for a few more days, and Observing other games, $1/$2 seem interesting, I took notes on every player in the game for over an hour, and color-coded them based on my perception.. Interesting games, some easily observably weak players betting ALL in on nothing. I saw a couple really weak losers win big once or twice, and almost make their money back, but boy it was lucky.. Getting Three of a kind on the River card lol constantly going all in with nothing against pocket pair players who arent dumb Im thinking of trying more Spin N Go's but the $1/2 poker seems perfect for new, tight players if you're betting well and taking notes on players, challenging the weakest players. Definitely sit and watch players for 10-15 mins before sitting down.
Your passion shines through. Love the energy. I can feel the care vs other sites where it just seems like they have a "look at me" condescending attitude. Ive been dabbling in poker for quite a while but really taking the time now to hone my game. My intuition and lack of formally analyzing my play has got me a lot further than it probably should but i know when im stuck. For whatever reason studying my game has been difficult for me to start. Its like i want to think of myself as a good poker player and dont want criticism haha but truth is i need a spankin haha so thanks!

If you want to know where you're at, at any time, check raise and if you can't call a raise on the river, don't bet..... This is extremely important, especially online, try not to go all in before the Flop, let the flop come and then go from there, because if people have seen the flop, they are then, 80% more likely to fold their hand.... Last but not least and especially in tournaments, try to never go all in before the Flop, always try to find out the most information, for the least amount as possible..
You have the best poker content om the net!!!
You are a GOAT in teaching me poker I don't know why but I understand you better.

Happy Birthday JL! I have to say I loving you content. I start to make a bit money in poker and finally beats nl10 over a small sample. (before watching your free content I got crushed). I'm thinking about to change my training site(@the moment in upswing). They have unbelievable content, BUT for my its nothing for micros. They teach a lot of balancing etc. I found out that your tips and free books helped me more to understand my opponents and beating the micros!!? Maybe we see us next year in poker coaching. 😊. Pls stay healthy and go ahead creating such amazing free content. Thank you!!
Mr Little, I assure you sir, I am a shark in the making. If the best is a Great White, then I'm probably a Thresher or a Grey Nurse shark. I'll be a Great white with your help. I'm learning quickly, and I always do well at cash games (Small stakes) but using the knowledge acquired from your content, Johnathan, I am learning without any doubt and have got better. Maybe one day we'll be playing at the same table. I would love that. Just think what I could learn!!! H.O.L.I.D.A.Y lol sorry, couldn't resist it hehe
as i watched this i was currently in a tourney,.and if i wouldnt of paused this video it would of gotten faster to me before i called with 85 suited 4clubs on turn all in turn bet and would of folded...then after i called all in on flop with AJ..compulsively saw the signs of KK OR AA and ignored it..flopped top pair.and opponent pushed all in with kk and i called like a dummy..even though the signs was there..thanks for all u do

Variance most likely.
Hey bro it would be great if you would include a list of the tips in the comments section!!
what poker books do you recommend?
Also do you have any live videos of you explaining your decision so I can get an idea of on-the-spot situations and your thought patterns? or any training videos stored somewhere that you watch? I saw an advert on facebook but then it disappeared someone was playing live and explaining his decisions.
So if you 3 bet preflop you should lead and C bet on flop as long as your 1v1 or 2v1? but when it multiway or just limp into the flop you should be checking way more often? I usually C bet the flop a lot and lead a lot on the flop to try and bluff people out of it but that may be a leak at the moment.
at 10:00 why do you choose to do small C bets and not half pot and 3/4 pots bets as recommended? I usually do 1/2 or 3/4 c bets because it says to do that online but a lot of the time they either fold or call with a really good hand with 1/2 pot C bets. What do you class as a small bet? 3 big blinds on flop and turn?
i just play 0.01/0.02c blinds and $100 freerolls and 55c buy-ins at the moment, when do you know you are ready to move up to e.g 2c 4c blinds cash table and $5 buy in tournaments?
Got caught the other day running into aces. 3 bet a raise and he 4 bet jammed on me. Already had a majority of my stack committed. Hard to fold Queens/Kings in those situations. Especially when an opponent plays loose and opens such a wide range of hands. Oh well, guess that happens from time to time.
@PokerCoaching
3 жыл бұрын
Certainly, it will happen - accept and enjoy the variance :)
at 13:52 i would usually always semi-bluff this as I like the idea of them either folding but also if the bluff doesn't work I could pull a big hand, is this the right thing? or just semi-bluff sometimes and check othertimes to see if you pull a big hand?

What are the chance or odds of winning one of your give-aways? If you have 250.000 members, the chance might be on the smaller side. As poker players, I assume, we should calculate the EV. :)
Enjoy your vids put is it really accurate to say you will win an extra 15 bucks on average in the TT hand what about the times they raise and you fold or they call with better and you lose that 15 bucks. I agree you should bet the river though
The real question is do you want us to be the left shark or right shark
#3 multi way pots- 6-max LJ opens 3x SB calls Hero in BB calls w/ 66sc Jd Td 6h SB leads for 75% pot Hero calls LJ jams for 44bb SB calls After tanking, I folded.

That was beyond nitty. Even if you assume he's only jamming with 2 pair or better, JT is more likely than JJ or TT. Also, he's very likely to play like this with AJ or any overpair trying to protect against the draws. You have his range completely crushed, this is a snap call. I have folded bottom set to crazy action on flops with no reasonable 2 pair combos before (eg 33 on T43), but as soon as there's even one 2 pair combo, as you beat that you should literally never fold your set.

Jonathan, I object presenting 3-bet charts without including assumed 2-bet chart. As you surely know, in low stakes poker there is huge variance in 2-beting styles, especially on the button, from super tight to super loose. I assume your charts assume facing an average 2-bet style, but it would be helpful to know what its is that average 2-bet chart. Without that I am afraid lot of your readers will fail to make necessary adjustments to your 3-bet charts.
@PokerCoaching
2 жыл бұрын
See the charts at PokerCoaching.com in the Tools section. Obviously you should adjust to whatever your opponents do incorrectly. That said, if you play closer to GTO than your opponents do, you will win money from them on average even if you have no clue what they do incorrectly.
8 hours live cash play would be about 160 hands in most casinos I reckon.

- you are not playing aggresiv enough - dont be leading with marginal hand sorry but its not making a lot of sense....if i need to play agressiv, i miss the flop most of the time. when i'm not leading or rasing with those hand, i am mostly raising preflop and then go check fold....doesnt sound + EV 🤷🏻♂️ i get not betting on the flop - but i dont need to be aggresiv preflop then...

Don’t lead out of position with marginal hand because your opponents can raise you a lot. If you are in position then you can bet marginal hand on the flop. You need to bet mostly top pair and better and strong draws like open ended and flush draw, and mostly check middle pair and ace high and things like this
