Dude was a half wit. I hope you win it back later.
Last time I went to battle with Kings in a casino I caught the third king on the river. Busted aces with about $2000 + in the pot. Dude slow played me calling the entire time until the river. He actually started crying and left with his mousy looking girlfriend with green hair and a face covered in tats and piercings. I mean what did he think I had when the king showed its face on the river and I reraise him for 800?
Brunson is rolling in his grave with these new GTO players. He played the man and position. Yes, it’s great to have a plan {or a theory} but as Tyson said, it all changes when you get punched in the face. Daniel Negreanu is the current master to follow. But very few will have his autistic brain power and attentive super power so they play “theory”.
Thank you, easy to understand for the layman.
Cheers!
On your KTo hand, on the river you called with the nuts, which in some places is forbidden, you should raise every time with the nuts. Is there any reason you didn’t? Maybe something related to the rake? Thank you
Brain fart + 100% certain we were chopping. The rake was maxed, so zero reason for me to just call unless I was tired and could have possibly misread the board =)
it all commest to speculation, because you need to make assumptions. the other player can have any cards he wants to play ergo your shove with such bullshit hand is just a gamble
Another example: If you bet half pot and get called, the pot doubles. After three streets, the pot is 2x2x2 = 8x its original size. But if you bet full pot and get called, the pot triples. After three streets, the pot is 3x3x3 = 27x its original size.
I dont know if it's different st lower stake, but at the table i usually play (2/5 5/10 live) even bad players will note that you usually bet 33% pot on that K73r flop and now you bet 66%. This doesnt mean they will fold K6s on the flop, but surely the will proced with more caution when they see your bigger bets. Also a lot of hands go multiway live and you are up with some fishes and some regs, maybe good maybe decent, so these one surely will note thw different size. Flop is the street i play more "close to gto as possible" against everyone. On the turn i start to deviate if necessary and River is surely the most exploitative street. I am really liking this way for playing gto/exploitative stile.
Bad players also think small bet size means you have nothing. So IMO just use your normal bet sizes with everyone, unless you have a read they are super strong then you can bet large.
Fair.
James - Great Topic! I can also see this being applicable to Tournament situations in determining how to get all the money in by the river when deeper, or how to leave yourself something behind just in case you get called down and lose.
Yes indeed!
This is exactly why I love this channel....🥹😍
Thanks Chance!
You dont like that they dont tell you that they know who you are? Lol wtf..
Did I say that I *expect* them to, or have a preference that they do? Lol wtf...
I'm looking for a way to do this that doesn't involve me pulling out a ev calculator on my phone. Is there a way that i can do this in my head?
Practice between sessions so that you can estimate better in real-time. There isn't really any other way ime.
Love you brother! Question, is the DIVIATE course included in the PRO membership? Also, my math may be the worst in the history of poker layers, is there any hoe or me??? Brett
Yes, DEVIATE is included in PRO. And anyone can learn the math, it will just take longer for some people. Have you tried my workbook yet? www.splitsuit.com/poker-preflop-math-workbook
Another possibility is that simply your read on your opponents image of being a nit was wrong, which is highly probable when playing live poker given the small sample size and not seeing their hole cards most of the time.
Possible, for sure.
My god your videos are awesome. I'm just starting in Poker, enjoying it and keen to learn more. Came across 1, then 2, then all of your videos and wow, you explain things so well - thank you! Signed up for Core too! Thank you, already learning heaps!
Welcome to poker! Take your time with CORE and it will give you a great foundation to work with!
The solves are for 100BB eff without any rake ?
Correct.
The problem with applying this to the table when playing is we know that from player population data that was shown on a red chip poker podcast with coach w33zel over betting the pot as a bluff had less success than betting an amount under the pot, so this would mean that in theory some bluffs can be assumed to be plus EV but could actually be minus in reality. The assumption that betting a bigger amount will always yield more folds is not actually true when we analyze player population data.
The only issue is that it presumes that online and live population data are the exact same, which you can certainly argue they are not 👍
I can't even express thoroughly how much I appreciate that you reveal your losing sessions and break them down for us. Keep doing that
Cheers!
might have been helpful going into the quiz to know that a "line" of poker chips contains 20 chips. i had no idea.
totally fair.
right now, practice each day and you'll definitely feel your edge over the game get sharper. 🔪💰
Ranges (especially button) is too tight. Especially live , where most players are TERRIBLE!!!.
Great video! Thanks!
You're very welcome Santiago!
Interesting quiz.
Cheers =)
Thank you for the Quiz it was good to see where my skills were at. I appreciate all you do!
You're very welcome Jeremiah!
Good stuff, everyone needs to remember the basics. 2 other comments... 1. I've always called them stacks, not lines. maybe a local colloquial type thing. 2. I have played in rooms where if the all-in was over half of the original bet it was considered a raise and you could 3 Bet. Definitely know the house rules where you're at.
1. Yup, lots of localization for these terms 2. 100% ask for the house rules in advance if you can 👍
support this channel.
Thank you!
does it mean that after calling with 25% pot odds and having 8% chances of making the best hand in a $160 POT, you should get called a bet of $215, 100% of the time?
If you aren't getting correct pot odds at the moment, you need to know how much extra you need to make on future streets AND if you can reasonably make that extra amount
how/why did you assign this range to your opponent? You have no stats on him. He could be a fish or NIT or TAG... So why this range?
Because we need a range to work with. This video is more about teaching the methodology of studying with the tool so you can do your own exploration with your own range assumptions =)
New to GTO ranges, but the lack of all suited connectors (excepting the SB) is very surprising.
If you don’t hit the flop be prepared to let it go.
Dude, You are a bad spokes person. You are not explaining why not good and not taking your time why dont do this and why good.. in your head you know why its good or not but not explaining much. have you watch yourself? all I hear is this is good and not good but why not explain...
Do you have specific questions? I could certainly elaborate on all points, but doing so would make even a single-hand video like this incredibly long...so it's a balance of video length and depth.
great content!
Thank you!
Good to have you back split
Thank you!
Love squeezing this hand. It's one of my favorites to do it with and from any position as long as I feel I can get heads up or 3 way with it
Can you do a video on straddling?
Does this one work? kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWqbxtZ_dMbdZpc.html
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY IF YOU PLAY ONLINE POKER AND FOLLOW "RANGES'. THESE PEOPLE WILL CALL A 4X RAISE WITH 47 NOT EVEN SUITED. THIS MIGHT WORK WITH THE PROS BUT ONLINE POKER IS A JUNGLE
🛑 STOP THE BACKGROUND MUSIC 😢
It's not even that loud!
@@ThePokerBank Can't focus
Just fold it preflop. Save yourself.
Damned amazing how you recorded a video specifically for 2024, way back in 2020.
Even more amazing...it will still apply in 2037!
Well done another of valid points this is good discipline I guess
Cheers David!
oh basically you compare the percentage that you will win the pot against how much your risking for the reward. if how much your risking to gain is higher than your percentage of winning the pot is too great, then it is not a EV+ call
