Only played poker a handful of times, but just for fun I decided to enter a local small stakes poker tournament and started watching your old beginner tips videos the morning of the first day of the tournament…. Somehow I made it to the final table with the largest stack 😂 I was honestly surprised at how well your advise worked against some people who I know for a fact are way better players than me.
if after the turn your rival rises your bet (assuming its a tight player) you should fold even with the K any double or set will crush you and that's what just happened.
Just the other day I was playing on a 2/2 poker table. The buy in to play on a 2/2 table is between $40-$300. I buy-in for the max which is $300. Within an 1.5 hrs I profited $385 and I left the casino😊😊😊
I started learning about poker via your videos (and VR gaming for free) two months ago ahead of a trip to Vegas. I wanted a go in a real life poker room and last weekend I played twice with $1/$2 at two casinos in Vegas! Totally intimidating but I held on to only playing the Premium hands your advice had drilled into my head. I didn't lose all my money, just most of it.... But on this occasion, the first time experience was worth it. I'm going to keep playing and learning. I'll keep practicing in VR and maybe see what the real life poker scene is like at London casinos, as that's my home town. Thanks Nathan! 😊
Can you discuss straddling? So a cash game I like to play is 1/2 NL and at this poker room you can do the traditional under the gun straddle, but you can also straddle on the button? How do you (or the group here please) feel about straddling on the button?
Awesome video. If this was totally overwhelming and went completely over your head as a beginner, just study up with some more terminology and fundamentals videos, play a few more hours' worth, and then circle back to this video. With a little bit more understanding and experience, this video is packed with immediately actionable advice that will take you from crawling around in the dark to making conscious, strategic moves at the table. I just started playing (online) two days ago and went from draining my bankroll every hour to actually flying the kite, sniffing out the fish, hanging out at the table, and catching some awesome hands. I'm obviously still a total noob, but after a handful of videos like yours, and watching a 30min compilation of daniel negreanu playing an online tourney while teaching, I'm able to keep my roll up enough to play for hours and learn from my successes and mistakes. Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent video for beginners and most everybody else not playing at the highest levels. Poker is very exciting, enjoyable and addictive, but playing with the idea of doing it for a living isn't going to end well for 9 out of 10 people. Variance is a bitch.
Got any advice on when I should move from 1c/2c to 2c/5c and continue onwards? Just as an example, lets say I have a bankroll of just 20 USD, what should we be doing to build this?
3000 big blinds is pretty good to have to be properly bankrolled, assuming you win at a decent rate. So for 2c/5c, you need $150 to be properly bankrolled. That's 3000 big blinds. Having 2000 big blinds is okay too, but you gotta make you win more.
How do they play post flop? Do they still continue to large bets? If my raises have no fold equity and my bets get called I would be raising big on value hands, limping speculative hands, and just value betting relentlessly. Why raise a speculative hand if there is no fold equity and you can still get all of the money in when you make a nutted hand?
Honestly we all get so caught up with fancy GTO stuff these days that it's nice to get back to basics. Continuing on the proper board textures and making good decisions preflop is still 75% of the game, after all... yes the other 25% matters, but one can get carried away...
Love the videos brother. I watch every single one. I think this video should be 22 tips with “Position” being stressed early in the beginning. I know you’ve touched on it in other videos but to complete this masterclass, add Position! Keep up the great content 💯
I been having problems with strong aces, losing to weaker two paired aces, almost all the time. I find set mining and straight,flush, chasing its more profitable for me. I just keep losing tons with A-k, and suited As and the flush not hitting against AK
You need to clarify c-betting in terms of position I think. In your bad habits video, you recommend call checking. Here you recommend continuation betting. This seems like two pieces of advice in conflict with each other. What is/are the determining factors on when to do which?
I do have a checking range both in position and out of position. But I believe that aggressive poker is winning poker, so when in doubt I will often fire at pots.
Sunday night, I was playing a tournament with 30 contestants (a few of whom having yet to sign in at that point). Table's 10 people large. Took a bad beat earlier, and needed to make a comeback. Hand's 5-4 Clubs. Whole table was calling the Big Blind. With the button, I was last to act. I raised 6,000. 4 other players decided to call. Flop comes, and hits A-Q-J of Spades. Checks all around. I shoved All-in. Small Blind hesitates, but folds since she only flopped top pair. Next two players folded immediately. But the last player hesitated immensely. Good news based on the hesitancy is that it communicated to me that she didn't have the King or Ten of Spades, nor did she have trips, a straight or a flush. 'Cause if she had flopped either of these things, I'd be dead at this point. I'm guessing she must have had two-pair, but regardless, she folded, and I was up to nearly 50,000. I revealed my bluff to the whole table, and a couple hands later, I hit top two pair on the River, and three players shoved including the commanding chip leader and the bully of the table. I called, and I eliminated two players and took down the chip leader, taking a commanding lead over the whole table.
I kept track how many times I had AK for 30 days I play 5 days a week for 5 hours a day not a lot I lost with AK 21 times and won 8, 3 of the 8 where before the flop. I made just over 200 and would rather just call with AK and see if I hit a flop over raising it up because it's just not that good of a hand for me
@@BlackRain79Pokeryo, in the sheet you gave for tip 16, what if we don’t have the hands in red? What we do with the ones in white? Fold or call? And why are some pink and some red?
I know a little bit but I’m gonna crash course this before going to my local room to play a 50$ tourney today. Will let you know how it goes. EDIT: I won 2 or 3 hands then ended up very short, won and all in, all in again everyone folded. Then with about 8 big blinds I shoved on the flop to a 2 Bb bet I had QJ off against J6 off. We both had a jack and my opponent spiked a 6 in the river and sent me home. Bad beat
I hope you answer this question. You talk about C betting 50% of pot. Im not against that, but a solver or GTO might be. Do you ever consider that or lean towards a certain style of play?
Theres NO VIDEOA AT ALL on this topic. Can you PLEASE make a video on how you should change your play from online poker to live. The strategic differences, how to change your play. Thank you!!
Always watch how others are playing. In live play in local tournaments usually for that stakes there are worse players than online, so you should bet big on value hands and play more tight
The point is don’t be clever and just build the pot Playing a game at home with the same friends each week isn’t the same as playing casino poker. You’re right in a home game. (Maybe)
Couple of days ago Jus in reference I was in one two game the position State five a couple of limperd before me I raise it to 15 which has been pretty much an overall challenge bet at the table I have pocket jacks I get one color and I realize he's a pretty good player he calls the other players fold the flop comes 77 Jack not wanting to lose any players cuz there's two suited on the table I need a 45 Dollar bet the turn is a gut shot to a straight knowing that this player has any piece of it he would bet it so I checked the river comes and it's an ace of diamonds what makes the flush thinking that he would either call at least or not go all in when he made the flush I bet $110 he pushed all in and of course I snap called into four of a kind 4 walking sticks that sevens I'm wondering if I should have just went all in before the flop I won a baby pot and save myself over $400
I wouldn’t go all in with Jacks, it’s really unlucky what happened, there’s honestly nothing you could have done better and the fact that you didn’t lose that much is pretty good. Four of a kind off flop versus your set is worst case scenario.

Hello, I just wanted to say that the probabilities you stated arent actually right. These would apply for 5 card poker but in Texas hold em, you have 7 in total, so the odds are much more likely and under such condition, 1 pair is more common than no pair at all(out of 100 hands , youd have 78x times one pair but only 21x no pair at all) 7:22
@@odysseasv7138 yes, but you GET to CHOOSE the BEST combination of 5 out of these. So you count it for 7. Look on wikipedia if you dont belive me. They explain it why its counted like this.

Funnest social game in dee world!!!!
Not a beginner, but I still watch because it’s nice to have valuable reminders. 👍🏼
If you’re not studying, you’re losing.
Exactly . Im doing the same
gg
Exactly! Same!
I did what you teach, I got A-K, on the table is K, 9, 3, 9, 10, I bet on preflop, flop, turn, river, enemy always call, and enemy had 9-3.. 😅
if after the turn your rival rises your bet (assuming its a tight player) you should fold even with the K any double or set will crush you and that's what just happened.

Got any advice on when I should move from 1c/2c to 2c/5c and continue onwards? Just as an example, lets say I have a bankroll of just 20 USD, what should we be doing to build this?
i think he said once bankroll should be 30x the buy in
3000 big blinds is pretty good to have to be properly bankrolled, assuming you win at a decent rate. So for 2c/5c, you need $150 to be properly bankrolled. That's 3000 big blinds.
Having 2000 big blinds is okay too, but you gotta make you win more.
you need at least $100 bankroll for 2c/5c level. Move up as soon as you get that bankroll. And so on. Keep moving up based on your bankroll size.
10-30 buy ins I guess
At home games with beginners I often get called by 90% of the players preflop, even if I raise it to 5BB + 1BB for every limper. Any suggestions?
Raise it more. Make it 10. Make it 20. Wait till you catch TPTK and RELENTLESSLY value bet
All in
Find a better group

Probably just variance. AK is 71% to win vs A6 preflop for example. They will hit some weird two pair, straight etc. 29% of the time.

Decent/ Mediocre player here. Great video went 3x in 3 of 4 games booking only 1 loss since the video.
Awesome, glad this one helped you!
These tips are good for experienced for a refresher 🎉❤❤🎉
Thank you!
My most common bad burn is having 2 pair but losing to 3 of a kind
So do you ever check?
When you're out of position, when you're trapping, when your hand is doodoo
I do have a checking range both in position and out of position. But I believe that aggressive poker is winning poker, so when in doubt I will often fire at pots.

Is a suited 79 worth playing on
But what do I do if I get a bad hand do I just fold every time because if I do people just won’t bet when I play
definitely a beginner. What should you do on flops with pairs?
cbet small when you are the original raiser, and check call some of the better A-highs when you are not the original raiser
It all really depends. Do they raise pre flop ? Poker is all situational.
Can you make a video on how to identify each type of poker player. Ex: a limp in preflop good way to spot fish
He already has.
Thanks from AU Nathan. Good to practice the basics at my level.
Happy to help!
Love your content brother... Please keep it up.

I kept track how many times I had AK for 30 days I play 5 days a week for 5 hours a day not a lot I lost with AK 21 times and won 8, 3 of the 8 where before the flop. I made just over 200 and would rather just call with AK and see if I hit a flop over raising it up because it's just not that good of a hand for me
Not a lot? That's just shy of full time.
I'm a nit and folded AA last night on the river. We can do it too. :)
great tips, tried it today online and lost 300$ in about 3 hours. keep it up 👍

A-9 off. U said in the 5 bad hands video to not play A-9 off. Im confused

We are not playing against perfect players and gto strategy is for playing against good players not low stakes players usually.
great advice

Always watch how others are playing. In live play in local tournaments usually for that stakes there are worse players than online, so you should bet big on value hands and play more tight
Good idea, will make a note of that!
When do you not c-bet?
If you just raise aggressively only when you have good hands won’t everyone just keep folding right away
If everyone folds when you have good hands then youll get free money from limpers
Raise sometime when you have an OK hand, mix it up a little so you aren't predictable.
The point is don’t be clever and just build the pot
Playing a game at home with the same friends each week isn’t the same as playing casino poker.
You’re right in a home game. (Maybe)
never fold on a check
very good course! Thanks. There are some great advices even for intermediate players.
