@@johnryan3102everyone thinks online poker is rigged rather if it’s regulated or not. Unregulated sites are more likely to get shut down vs regulated sites. JL talked about this for several years now.
I’m practicing dealing and shuffling cards rn. And when I do this I like to listen/watch educational poker videos at times. This video had me stop dealing so that I could really pay attention.

I've been playing poker for 3 months now, and I can tell you that losing money with suited connectors is definitely possible. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it
Hey Jonathan. I'm a truck driver so I've been watching and listening to your cash game strategy videos while I drive, and I've been grinding .25/ .50 sent online and I ran it up this weekend. Not nearly as many mistakes after I've listened to you! Your awesome and thanks!
Very helpful, thank you. Question: In the 87s example, on the flop you say the opponents are unlikely to have an ace. Then on the turn you say they could easily have an ace. You also say that JJ probably won't call a big bet but ThXh probably will. These two statements seem contradictory to me but I might be missing something!
@4:40 hey @pokercoaching Jonathan, love your stuff man! Question: with poker itself, tv shows, solvers and just general population trends happening all the time, how often do these ranges change or adapt vs population? Take SB 3bet vs BTN - was 96 ALWAYS a call? Even before solvers? I'm often curious how much these preflop ranges are changing from year-to year, month-to-month, etc? Like how A5s got super popualr for a year lol...
i live and play tournaments in las vegas, i play many events in the WSOP each year. I do deepstack tournaments weekly at the Wynn and Venetian, and i keep track of when i play suited connectors. I very very rarely hit suited connectors, and if u do hit. Then u have to fear a larger flush or straight, so if u play suited connectors you have to be able to fold them if u hit sometimes. I play suited connectors if i can limp in or min raise and in good position. Nowadays, many people 3 bet suited connectors, but i rarely raise suited connectors unless i am in position....It also depends your stack size to play them a lot
If you 3 bet suited connectors and hit your straight or slightly less often a flush, you'll usually be crushing hands that will call 3 bets, like Broadway cards or pairs that can make top pair, 2 pair, trips etc.
87clubs early position. Turn clubs, jam. Johnny callemall says show me the flush. Spikes 4th club on river J high. Early position suited cards 10 and above. Imho. Lesson learned.
What's a suited connector? Honestly, when I play at Aria I'm convinced unicorns are less rare. Tell me how to play J3 off... i get that hand every other deal.
T9 , first i ask myself how much would i bet if i wanted a call? because if i want a call i sure don't want to scare him off so sometimes smallish bets look scary to them for that reason and i might get the fold i really want, i'd bet around half pot . and if i miss the river depending on the card i'm prepared to go for it . hmm big huh? well that's why i listen to ya !
I dont have much evidence here, but against weaker players I like to show tons of info. Because i feel like they are not going to correctly adjust and will only make MORE mistakes.
4:35 This reaction by BU vs SB's 3-bet seems like a punt. In cash games 100BB deep, K2-K8s are clear folds. You don't get to call with gappers besides T8s. How could tournament 80BB deep be this different? I'm confused.
I love suited connectors, but depends on your luck too. You can flop the world infront of you, down in the hand but 56% equity vs your opponents hand. Poker is poker hahaha
It's possible to make profit with suited connector type of hands but they're not the most profitable hands. Most of your long term profit is gonna come from the top left of the preflop range chart, where the top 5% of hands reside.
T9ss on the turn I'd bet 7K into 8K. Putting a small pair in a tough spot. If you overbet I think they have an easy fold and although that's a good result putting your opponent in tough spots is superior to putting them in clear spots.
I am not a big time so called professional players but i could beat anyone when on lucky streak. Poker is mostly part skill on betting pattern and luck. That’s all.
I’m going to be honest here, most of this is going way over my head, and I will never use any of this knowledge. But I’m watching it nonetheless. This feels like the equivalent of an art major with no college math credits walking into a level 400 calculus class. I missed all the intro courses that would have prepared me for this type of discussion. So much so that I’m not even understanding the terminology being used. I’m just very lost.

I think that typically, peoples brains play tricks on them and blame the rng. 72o is supposed to win against AK very often, sometimes it just doesn't feel that way.
Deep stacked on the BTN facing an EP raise, would you rather have T9s or 76s? 🤔
10 9
76s
Deepstacked 76. Medium stack I want the 9 10 so I cover the 66-88 part of their range

So glad it's been useful for you and good luck at the tables, Michael!
suited connetors go down in value in tournaments 30bbs and lower. Really good deep stacked in a cash game
I agree but I do like them early in a tournament because they can really boost your stack when connecting when players are looser early on.
you still need to play them in position or in the blinds
Thank you for this by the way - maybe a video specifically about Cash Games & suited connectors?
I love your channel. Tons of great tips. Thanks!
Thanks! I'm so glad that you're enjoying it!
No! I want to lose money with suited connectors.

10:30 I think it's a 66% or 75% pot bet on that board with how the action has gone
87clubs early position. Turn clubs, jam. Johnny callemall says show me the flush. Spikes 4th club on river J high. Early position suited cards 10 and above. Imho. Lesson learned.
What strategy you would recommend for free roll tournaments
I’d rather have suited connectors than pocket pair any day I always thought it is easier to play when just starting out
I'm dealing at the 2024 Borgata Summer Open hope to see you at the tables soon Johnathan
could you please do a vid on suited connectors going multi way
On the J967 board my instinct here was to check call/raise...... Should we not ever be going for the check raise here? Or even check call?
What's a suited connector? Honestly, when I play at Aria I'm convinced unicorns are less rare. Tell me how to play J3 off... i get that hand every other deal.
you fold preflop
You go all in every single time. Sometimes they’ll fold. Think about it.
Those ones you should just fold preflop, so no need to worry about how to play them postflop!
T9 , first i ask myself how much would i bet if i wanted a call? because if i want a call i sure don't want to scare him off so sometimes smallish bets look scary to them for that reason and i might get the fold i really want, i'd bet around half pot . and if i miss the river depending on the card i'm prepared to go for it . hmm big huh? well that's why i listen to ya !
Morning JL. Cheers from Canberra.
Cheers!
Same practice in 1-2 cash games or is this more of a tournament strategy? Thanks
i am wondering if you think there is any advantage to showing good hands after you make your opponent fold
I dont have much evidence here, but against weaker players I like to show tons of info. Because i feel like they are not going to correctly adjust and will only make MORE mistakes.
Not typically good to give opponents any more information than absolutely necessary.
i like to especially early on , i want them to think i always have it .
I never lose with suited connectors. I always fold them.
what about out of position situations? I know they shouldn't be played but what if my stack is big$
Could we mix in some passive play with draws?
Passive play multi way i think is ideal
excellent
Thank you!

Perhaps because tournaments usually have a bb ante so the pot is c. 66% bigger.
If in the second example, you feel they would call any amount at times, why not go all in?
(the 6-10 straight vs ace with two spades..)
question: if we are 100bbs vs 40bbs opponent, does stack depth range become the 40bbs chart ?

Hello Johnston ❤
Hello!
Ur funny af I laugh about 2 tyme every video broski
18:47 but can't overplaying marginal hands and playing aggressively to steal pots be the same play ?
You don't want it to be! Marginal hands, there's no need to steal the pot. You can just check and when the pot.

Most of your long term profit is gonna come from the top left of the preflop range chart, where the top 5% of hands reside.
In a tournament you don't have time to wait for these hands. Not only that but you wont get action when you get them if you appear a nit.
10:28 …. Bet 12k (80% pot)
T9ss on the turn I'd bet 7K into 8K. Putting a small pair in a tough spot. If you overbet I think they have an easy fold and although that's a good result putting your opponent in tough spots is superior to putting them in clear spots.
and barrel river whether you make it or miss it, close to pot 20-25BB except if maybe a jack comes since pairs improve the likelihood of winning.
Hard to stop losing when they keep spiking
Keep grinding and staying focused on the things that you can control.
Hello
Hi!
3/4 pot bet?
Ain't no way I'm calling the turn in the 86s hand. Back door flush draw? Never happens.
I am not a big time so called professional players but i could beat anyone when on lucky streak. Poker is mostly part skill on betting pattern and luck. That’s all.
I bet 15k on the turn for the T9s hand.
A lot of this is dependant n competition and stakes, vs casino play and playing with real players.
That UTG+1 open chart looks really wide. Like I dont think K10 os should ever be an open there or the lower suited kings for that matter

You need to be able to bluff and win pots when you miss.
Overbetting in small Stakes Games is Not very effective. That's my experience . People don't call these big hands with marginal Hands
That sounds like bluffing using an overbet sizing is going to be very effective.

They can be if played correctly and at the right stack depths.
