Hard to imagine how it would be possible to deliver a more thoroughly comprehensive, intimate real-time (i.e. free of revisionist alterations) presentation of how players work towards their decisions - particularly helpful in the viewer evaluations of a player's approach is comparing how their reading on an opponent lines up with that opponent explains himself. All in all, a very effective execution of a brilliant concept. Bravo.

For sure they are almost playing a different game because of how many levels they are thinking on.. The 2/5 game at my casino does not look like this therefore you SHOULD NOT play like this.. I’m appreciative of what they are trying to do don’t get me wrong it will come in handy if you have a sicko on your table but this does not help the average grinder.. That being said I actually enjoyed the video I’m not hating just telling the truth......

Wow this is just brilliant content

This is the best content ever, Berkey oh em Gee

Berkey has a way of articulating things I knew to do instinctively at a table. He also has a way of articulating the ways to stop himself from doing things I did at the table. That's where the true value lies in my opinion.

What type of sorcery is this? Wizardry I tell you! Great content guys! Hope to see y’all in Austin again.

These guys are using 4D chess logic to make terrible plays. Most people just, y’know, don’t go all in on KQo and lose an entire stack based on a vague hunch. They give people credit for reraises and see the flop before making crazy decisions. I mean, tournaments can be different, sometimes the best decision is to just shove and get that pair of 6s to fold, but this is a cash game, whys blow off stacks like that?

Christian donk bets with 49s...... what a pro.............

Thinking strategically is simply estimating your opponent's strategy based on the available information and then attempting to counter by following the incentive of your hand. So in short, you can apply this in any game

This content is great but the pay wall is to big. Any chance of selling this to PokerGo or otherwise outside of your training site?

Great content, always respected Matt's play and knowledge over the years, and I certainly appreciate poker pro's providing free educational info for rec players like myself. But one thing I can't understand...why? Isn't the poker field 100x harder than it was a decade ago due to all this free online information?

I'd push back against that a bit. Knowing how someone on your level thinks will only allow you to maneuver through those specific thoughts. The take away is to listen to anyone's thoughts (top tier or otherwise) and compare them to equilibrium strategy, finding exploits and certainties in your application

After watching the last hand, I've decided to quit poker. No matter how long I study, I will never be anywhere near that level.

Who downvotes these videos?? Y'all must of gotten stacked by the S4W squad and putting the hate to use with those button clicking skills. This is literally art. Matt Berkey + Machiavelli = Berkiavelli

It's funny poker these day's. I guess we could call that Overthinking into assumption.

Is that not the ultimate goal of exploitative play? To set up a profitable dynamic in whatever situation you find yourself?

Aren't people going to try to read the other people's lips?

This is actually a brilliant concept but that last hand where NH just lights 4k on fire and tries to justify it as some super high level play flushed all the credibility of these guys down the toilet.

vpip and whaling...two more terms i dont know

I love the concept but the hand analysis seems like a joke.

Is that real money? Or is it just for learning purposes and no one is loosing real money.

If this video is any indication It seems like live poker has come full circle. Pre poker boom the games were filled with low IQ pros like Amarillo Slim now it's filled with younger low IQ pros trying to mimick smart players like galfond and sauce.

Are these games for real money? Also, can someone please explain how other players cannot hear when the other players is talking about his thoughts? Also, not that anybody is lip reading, certainly is possible? Maybe these are silly questions, but to me, I am unclear on this.
