To Test Your Skills, I built a BRAND NEW Poker Math Quiz! Even Pro's are struggling to get a 10/10. See how you stack up! pokercoaching.com/blog/quiz-poker-math/
Got the book and a membership to poker coaching also. Why am I still bad??? Honestly though, I have already seen my results improve in cash games and in small tournaments. Love the content and thanks for this free stuff too!!
I’ve tightened my game up so much! Currently went from 55% cash out on SNG Triple Ups and in 3 weeks I am at 61% with noticeable changes in my game . I’m truly blessed to have found you because I truly want this . Thank you Jonathan .
@pokercoaching. Thank you for this video. Extremely helpful, especially with the solver analysis. I would be very interested to see a similar video but from a pure exploit perspective. As you mentioned in video, you must deviate from this when opponents do not follow GTO. In lower stakes games below 5-10, the lack of proper three and four bet ranges is a defining factor. You mentioned this is prior videos. It seems that players who recognize and adjust to this have a TREMENDOUS low stakes exploit. I had thought that was going to be what this instant video was about. Players are so used to bet, call,call in low stakes that they reflexively believe bet followed by three bet is a value raise. And absolutely a four bet is seen that way. This allows a player to exploit by having “last bet” of three bet ala Gus Hansen of mid 2000s being aggressive when the style was still very tight. And then if anyone gives resistance, you can weight towards value. I appreciate this is NOT GTO and better players will exploit but the general fear of a three bet appears to be a defining characteristic of the low level player. I think the root of it is a fear of putting in four bet when player is overly three betting.
folded pocket queens to a 4 bet the other day in 2/5 (i was UTG, opened to $25, MP raised to $100, Small Blind Raised to $250, I folded - MP called. Hand ended after the a big bet from SB on flop. Am I fish... all players had about $800-$1.3K in their stack.
I've long had it my head that on the SB facing a Button raise, I should either fold or 3-bet, never flat. Interesting to see those flatting hands (60BB deep), like K2s or Q5s. I've definitely been missing out. Cheers Jonny, and good luck with PGo run, love watchin' ya :)
Ordered the new book from B&N. Enjoy your videos. You advocate studying. Would you suggest that range advantage be a major area of study for someone just getting back into NLH?
Of course I will buy your book. It’s a guaranteed win win. FYI, I will be carrying it in my backpack during WSOP so I can ask you to sign it if I run into you
Hi Jonathan, at my regular home tournament the other players are very sticky and will call a 3-bet with pretty much their entire open range. How would you adjust to this? Thanks!
Good rule of thumb for most things in poker: identify what your opponent is doing wrong and then do the opposite. If your opponent is calling too much, bluff less and wait for stronger value hands. Let them call hands where they should be folding and refrain from making bluffs you otherwise should that they are going to improperly call. Exploit their mistakes, never reward their mistakes
You're unlikely to realize your equity by calling. I.e. without the betting lead. You have decent equity against your opponents strongest hands since you have an ace. Unless you're dominated. You have the chance to make the nuts. Both ways. A2-A5s are interchangable in this respect. But there are some reasonable arguments for choosing any of them as your 3 bet bluff. But you should only choose one.
The solver always wants a balance of strong value hands and bluff hands. Solver wants to raise Kk, AKs, AKoff, and maybe AA. So it needs to find complimentary bluff hands. The solver uses the low suited ace hands. a2-a5. These hands have three good characteristics: 1. Ace in hand means pocket aces 50% less likely for opponent (blocker), 2. Suited gives ability to make nut flush, 3. Low card with ace gives ability to make straight, 4. Usually at least one over to pocket pair with ace. A5 is actually most powerful of this group because 5 gives most straights. You need a 5 or 10 to make a straight so having in your hand is beneficial. To be clear, you want a fold when you raise with suited ace wheel card like A2. You are raising solely so that your opponent can’t automatically assume your raises are premium only hands, but if you get called and have to go to flop, the solver is trying to put you in best position possible.
@@scotje11Low stakes aren’t playing the same game. You’re getting called or shoved on by a lot of people, so that 30-40% win odds will catch up to you fast, even if the equity is there.

You guys probably already know this but the app poker coaching charts still don't work
Works fine for me. On my phone, iPad and laptop
Sounds like user error to me .
Thanks for your videos!! Very eye opening stuff. Also, Congrats on the Poker Go Tournament Win !! Very patient play ....I guess it does pay off......!
Loving the book. I can work on one tip at a time👍🏻
In low-stakes games, average/bad regs will usually not 4-bet AK, so leave those hands in your opponent’s range if he calls your 3-bet.
Where i play they wont even RFI AK

Congratulations on winning #3 of the cup! I was cheering for u all the way👍✊
And the whole thing too! Like a baws!

I called 3 bet all in w pocket Qs and got hammered by pocket As 3 days ago.
Nah you’re likely good. You needed a Q
Where do you get the GTO app used in this video?

Where can you find this program ?
Only few words: thank you.
You're welcome
What is your favorite hand to 3-bet preflop?
AA & A5s 😂
You mean besides ultra premiums? ATs, all suited wheel aces, as well as KQs, KJs and the occasional KTs and JTs
AA. Obviously. Besides that, picking the right spot is the most fun thing; the specific hand doesn’t matter.
J8s and other wide suited connectors when in late position. It's really the most interesting part of Poker to me.
9Ts
Cheers JL. _just a quick engagement comment for the algorithm_
Thanks!
I appreciate it!

3bet wider with a strong linear range

What sotfware are you using?
I think you forgot the book link.
Bomb pot video please
dumb question... how do i find the "poker coaching app" on my desk top?
It is on your smart phone.
So modern theory really only applies to the high rollers essentially
And even more so player dependent live
How are some comments from 9 days ago when video came out an hour ago
K5s = the nuts
What’s so special about A2s that it’s basically a 100% 3-bet?

For board coverage on low boards, so your range isn’t only broadway card heavy
Specify in the title that this is for tournaments and not cash games.
I ordered the book from target
Blinds aside, there is no such thing as "position" in poker.
His videos make sense but i can’t stand listening to his voice maybe its me.
try this gto stategy in 0-16.5$ mtt and u gona runt hrough ur bankroll in a wek
How so
Just move up in stakes so they respect your raises. Easy game.
