Mastering The Fundamentals: Preflop Tournament Strategy
• Mastering The Fundamen...
This poker video from the Mastering The Fundamentals series covers everything you need to know to play the later stages of poker tournaments perfectly!
Now that you have learnt your perfect preflop ranges you will be heading to the flop with a strong range that will have lots of playability. This is where the game of poker becomes far more complex as there are infinite possibilities of boards, bet sizes & actions. Learning a good core fundamental poker strategy will help you tackle all situations that you face at the poker tables.
Jonathan talks about the terms range & nut advantage. He explains why it is important to know what they are and what the differences between them are. Gone are the days that you would put opponent’s on a specific holding. You should be basing your strategy on a range of hands that you and your opponents will be playing in certain positions and effective stack depth.
He uses PIOsolver which is a relatively new piece of software that calculates what is the Game Theory Optimal (GTO) decision. He shows you exactly how the solver would play and explains why to help you understand why certain actions are generally more optimal than others.
Jonathan also covers a whole section on how to play the bubble portion of a poker tournament profitably. As play progresses, you should give up small edges that win chips in exchange for making it more likely that you get in the money and cash in the poker tournament. This will often mean that you should longer; 3-bet with marginal hands, raise thin for value postflop, value betting thin for large amounts, bluffing for large amounts. Do not make drastic adjustments too soon! If you happen to have a big stack on the bubble then you should play aggressively on the bubble. As the medium or short stacks, you should make a point to get in the money. Remember that when you are extremely close to the money you should make extreme adjustments to guarantee yourself cashing in the poker tournament.
Jonathan also covers the optimal final table strategy and how your strategy should adjust depending on your stack size relative to the other players at the table. You should be looking to maximize the amount you win from the tournament rather than sacrificing EV for the sake of trying to win the trophy and busting out earlier than you should.

On this Poker Coaching channel we cover a weekly poker topic to help improve your poker strategy!
In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.
Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? 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?

Just won 1st in my small local casino. Bought in for 100, cashed out 750!!!
Another amazing video JL
Super interesting stuff, especially the solver output. The change in play effects the range so much. Because LJ has only 18% check backs, the solver almost pronounces him dead on almost every card after that because he would bet almost all 10s and overcards. There is however an exploitative play in that though if you play a young solver genius in the bb, you check back with a 10x and he will come out betting on the next street(s) so you can roll him up.
NEEDED this. Been running/playing well lately but have been struggling on FTs. My weak point for sure and it’s resulted in a bunch of stone bubbles recently
Your videos are amazing man. I have been dominating my tournaments recently because of you.

@pokercoaching what are thia solver program called and can anybody ger it?
I was playing short stack with 25k on the button. blinds 1000-500 with 500 anti. big blind raised to 2500 under the gun 3 bet to 7500 i look down to K-J suited in hearts. i did think fold and also thought jam... But small blind called the 7500. Big blind folded. flop all diamonds 9-6-J, small blind checks under the gun checks. i told myself all checked they have no over pair that is holding a diamond so i jammed. fold from small blind and under the gun tanked about a min and said well if you flopped it nice hand. he called A-J with no Diamond. i havent finished the video should i had jammed pre flop,fold,or what i did flat?
the turn is hard to play well consistently
Were back in here
Often, they get to the final ( often become the stone bubble) stages of online satellites but rarely normal tournaments. Live is another story though. I will rematch the early and middle stages video .
Hi Jonathan - is there a strategy to register late in a MTT? The only reason I can think is where the blinds are higher and it is easier to get all your chips in on the flop or by the turn. In addition due to the higher blind levels, there is less players calling your pre-flop raise with marginal hands as it is no longer 'cheap' to see a flop. The downside that I see registering late is that rather than having a 100BB+ (when register early), I may have 30 to 40 BB. I would like to get your advice on this subject.

I think that if you're good at playing deep stacks there's no reason to register late as on average you will gain chips and by registring late you give up on this opportunity. However I personally tend to register late for approximately 10% of my tournaments as I think it is fine to lose just a little bit of equity to be able to play more tournaments in 1 day
I have incoming $250K tournament in a couple of hours.. hope this one helps!
@16:50 I don’t think the solver is bluffing when shoving QQ and KK. It’s going for value when turn goes xx and BB x river as well. That is such a capped line
