Thank you so much for this, I hope it was because of my suggestion in the survey and comments! P.S. I loved your book the GTO Poker Gems and looking forward new learnings!
I personally like KQ a lot. Heck, one of my tournament winning hands was KQ. But I'll always get a kick out of a nickname I heard for KQ at my local Casino- "Parking Lot" AKA you're going to be seeing the parking lot after busting out since you played this hand wrong.
@@ThePokerBank preflop specifically, my go to now is usually raise fold with KJ, but that doesn’t feel like the right strategy, seems very exploitative
Found a ton of extra blinds three betting KQ!! I play more tournaments than cash, a lot more. Wondering what different points you would make regarding tournaments as opposed to cash with this combo?
@@ThePokerBank I assume position and stack depths would be determining factors in the decision to continue or not.. Thanks for the insights. I though I was folding too much in certain situations, but I am probably doing ok. Just tell myself there are better spots to get them, and it generally works out ok...
4:32 Y, 3 bet to get vilians to fold ace rags etc rather than call behind to the flop multiway. 6:53 I now play some very good players in their social games, so it's nights at the strip club. Daily, I play a bunch of ABC123 gto kids, some sneakily aggro older people, the solidish regulars & a some crappy ones.
C-Betting is what I'm most unsure about. I've seen some different opinions on You-Tube (or maybe I'm interpreting them wrong). Nuttish vs. Nuttish Range vs. Range perceptions. Then to take into account the opponent, stack size, and their stickyness. I'll poke around your library of lessons and see what I can find, comparing them with some others. I like your lessons a lot as the length is easy to digest and content is strong...others have 25-30 minute videos that though good content, I just don't have the time to absorb it all in a single sitting (I try to watch one or two a day on breaks from work). OK TMI and TLDR....peace
@@ThePokerBank Appreciate it! Recently watched your 7 items for advanced players and helped reinforce the dynamic vs static boards....and Multi-way thought process. IP I do better (of course) and have good mix of Big vs. Little regardless of hitting strong or just air. OOP, flopping strong or air I'm "ok" with...it's the having "value.- but " type situation. Feel like I'm either value owning myself or giving up too much equity.
I have 0% with AK, so KQ gotta be better. Also, calling a 3bet with KQ makes you behind literally the entire 3bet range of MOST people (pairs, Ax, AA, KK, AK, AQ) and very weird postflop. Against a decent opponent who has suited connectors in their 3bet range it's viable though.
Does anyone know of a flopzilla equivalent that would be compatible with chrome or Linux? Or even a regular website that hosts such software? I read that flopzilla only works with windows?
Flopzilla is Windows-only, yes. There is a software called PPT that is web-based and has some seriously overlapping functionality fwiw: premiumpokertools.com/
@@ThePokerBank nice, nice. would i be able to follow along with the preflop workbook using PPT instead of flopzilla or would i end up missing crucial information?
@@therealitycollective9456 I believe you can do the entire Preflop & Math Workbook with PPT. Anything you couldn't do with it wouldn't be life changing for that workbook.
@@ThePokerBank yes it's somewhat like a garage hand for me and I just feel like if I don't connect on a straight board or two pair that there are so many hands still better lj,aj,kq,ak like if I hit top pair w jack or queen and hero still bets or raises I always feel stuck even though I know it's a strong hand
Your "would you rather" at the beginning, I think, needs to at least address what you intend to do if you 3 bet and get 4 bet, since obviously that's something that can happen if you 3 bet but not if you call.
@@ThePokerBank Oh for sure, just saying that variable was missing in the analysis. If some of your 3 bet range doesn't include hands you'd fold to a 4 bet, something is very wrong :)
In Summary, poems make good intros. That's the only clear words because after KQ your 100 word per sec explanation went IN and so fast there is not even time to process. It's obvious super fast because you keep running out of breath. Bad habit for anyone trying to explain/teach anything. I AM OUT!

I flopped my first-ever Royal Flush two weeks ago, and it was with KQ♦️♦️
That makes the hand MUCH easier to play!
did you win?

lol, perfect.
Split suit, you been around for a hot min now! Keep up the great work
Thanks Jason!
Split suit - can you do a video on KJ. I seem to lose a lot on this hand at late stage tournaments either shoving all in or calling all in.
So preflop specifically for KJ?

@@andyv123I'll pop it on my idea list =)
@@ThePokerBank thank you sir!
@@andyv123you're very welcome
Loves these breakdowns! Thanks Sweeny
You're very welcome! And you forgot the 3rd 'e' in my last name =)
Thanks for the redos. M7ch valued, glad i found you J.♠️🇳🇿
Would you recommend playing KQ split suited in early position?
Fold KQo from UTG in full ring
Save all split suited hands for serious endeavors imo.
@@ThePokerBank lol
Love these tips - thx Sweeny! Gonna have a new love affair with KQ tonight😂
When I look at gto wizard, it says kq off is usually a fold against a 3 bet. Is there something I'm missing?
In what spot/format? That will impact things massively (along with the trees Wiz uses)
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Nice video once again!
Thank you Jacob!
Good morning James, good video series
Good morning Dalton, and thank you!
I understand the first round completely but how do you calculate the %W and %L for the second round and etc. ?
They say I talk a little fast, but if you listen a lil' faster, I ain't got to slow down for you to catch up...
Found a ton of extra blinds three betting KQ!!
I play more tournaments than cash, a lot more.
Wondering what different points you would make regarding tournaments as opposed to cash with this combo?
The big differing point would be continuing as often vs 3bets with KQ since the small stack depth isn't as favorable
@@ThePokerBank I assume position and stack depths would be determining factors in the decision to continue or not..

Cheers! Any specific questions about cbetting? When hitting IP? When missing OOP? When flopping gutshots on Ace-high flops?
@@ThePokerBank Primarily OOP...either missing or hitting "OK" but not strong (KQ on AQ2 board) or the A high gutshot (KQ on AT2 flop).
@@300lbcanary2 I'll see what I can do =)

@@300lbcanary2makes total sense to me.
Curious. would you put in all your chips (say first hand of a tournament) with KK against AK? Love your content. Thanks.
Given the opportunity with pure info, yes.
How much better are you than the person with AK. If you're significantly better then you don't have to do this. If not then it's mandatory.
@@CLGilbert if you reject a 65-35% all in belive me, you're not much better than that player, no matter who he is.
I have 0% with AK, so KQ gotta be better. Also, calling a 3bet with KQ makes you behind literally the entire 3bet range of MOST people (pairs, Ax, AA, KK, AK, AQ) and very weird postflop. Against a decent opponent who has suited connectors in their 3bet range it's viable though.
"Behind a 3bet range" matters a lot less with position, remaining stack depth, and skill edge
@@ThePokerBank you're still forced to call twice with top pair, drawing almost dead most of the time
@@TomRauhe if your opponent is a nit who only 3bets purely nutted, then you're 100% correct.
Enjoy ur vids!

You got a mention in today's video =) ua-cam.com/video/lxZgODNYRAo/v-deo.html

It's typically a fold vs. a 4bet. But avoiding 3betting just because you *could* get 4bet isn't a proper framework =)
@@ThePokerBank Oh for sure, just saying that variable was missing in the analysis. If some of your 3 bet range doesn't include hands you'd fold to a 4 bet, something is very wrong :)
@@AlphaLackey fair. It's always a balance between explaining every facet of the analysis and video duration =)
@@ThePokerBank That's true. And there's always the comment section to go over the finer points afterwards!
İ dont like it that much. KQ and AJ are very tricky cards.
The good news is they are just as, if not more, tricky for your opponents to play too =)
Why does this guy ALWAYS sound like he is sick 😭😅
It's just the super cool voice I was born with, lol

It’s a video. You can pause and take notes. My suggestion… reduce the speed so James sounds drunk haha
