You're great. I've been studying for a year. Jonathan little, Nathan from blackrain, saulo costa, bart from clp, gto wizard, game theory impossible, all sorts of places. Went from a whale, to a nit to a tag, and now I've been learning how to not play with scared money. Studying gto and exploits. Now I've started punting a little too much with bluffs, but also I'm not sure if they've been a good bluff or not. And it's so hard to do all this in your head before the clock is called, or piss people off cause its a 40$ pot on the flop and going into the tank is a dick move. Thanks for the help. I'm loving your recent challenge. I'm at a 1/3 that plays like a 2/5 cause it's only in 5$ increments. 10% up to 7$ post flop is the rake. If you're challenge is 100 an hour (roughly 60bb/100) is feasible, or even half that, my game would print. I've made 4k in 100 hours live. Couple grand over 250k hands online. You UA-camrs are to thank for that. I might be running hot, i might be better than my pool, or maybe I just lucked out a lot, but hot damn with UA-camrs of your caliber, and the rest. I think i can get 50 an hour at my local casino. Thank you for everything.
I haven't watched all your videos, so i don't know if it's 60bb/100. From my memory you're in a 5/5. Roughly 33 hands an hour. 100/5= 20. 20 x 3 = 60. I'm open to learn if you want to correct my estimate. Either way, I think I might be replacing my day job soon. Which is door dash/uber so i don't actually have to quit, so it's always there In case i rampage my bank roll to the dirt.
Marc this is really good stuff, as a part time for profit player these are definitely mistakes I see myself making sometimes. Showdown fallacy is a really good one and I think will become a mainstay in poker training. Great work man. Wish I had seen ya at hustler 5-5 when I was there a few weeks ago
Great stuff. The only thing I'd say is that as a slowly losing tight player I over fold not because I think other players underbluff but because I think they know I'm value dense so when they're betting against me it's because they can beat my thin value hand like TPTK or over pairs. Also the 1/3 Flop, 2/3-3/4 turn bet sizing is just regs trying to be balanced because this is what the solvers have told them.
2:27 I agree giving up at the end is why so many aren’t profitable. At the same time, with a board like that, your opponents gonna be thinking all of the same things, missed flush draw, straight didn’t get there and they may have a medium pair and will ultimately call you down. That player is also gonna have notes on you throughout that game and if you’re not telling a convincing story, you will be called down, especially at lower stakes.
Marc, what would your sizing be on the turn here 23:05? Something like 120 or so because they are capped? And on the river on a blank, on let's say a 9 or a 3? 1/4 pot to fold out a draw and about 450-500 to fold out Qx hands? 👍👍👍👍
I have the same question. I figured it was B50-B100-B150 on a non completing flush. I want B150 to get both Qx and missed draws to fold as a catch-all size. Maybe B100 on a flush completing card targeting Qx to fold? Are there any rivers you are giving up?
As a typical abc player with a blue line going up, red line going down and actual winnings just slightly winning arround 1-2bb/100, i gotta review and internalize this video and i think i will be good! thanks for this great content.
Agree 100%... your videos are a gold mine for live low stakes. The exploitative concepts are simple and the logical threads pull through. Only ask if you can remember to emphasize the player type we're exploiting a little more ... Recreational player, reg, low stakes pro etc ...
Ty cutie. Although I think that you're overestimating how sticky low stakes players are with top pair. I agree with everything you said and I would still bluff on the J high board when the flush and straight get there. But I do it not to get QJ to fold, I just know at least in the games I play people will literally never fold top pair but also I'll know my opponent won't have top pair because if they did have QJ they'd be raising the flop. At least that's the observations I made in the games I play in my area.
A lot of times when people say this they are playing 1/2 or 1/3. 2/5 or especially 5/5, players are better and therefore will fold top pair. It's actually a pretty different player population. In 1/2, you can't get someone to fold top pair. Usually the stack depth isn't there and calling it all off for 150 into a pot of 100 is not that hard for them. But in 2/5, people will be hesitant to put in 600 more into a pot of 300. One of the main ways humans are not rational is they respond differently to absolute sizes compared to relative sizes. Technically a 200 bet into 100 should feel the same as a 600 bet into 300, but humans don't respond that way. Also, another difference in the player population between 1/2 and 2/5 is that players will not raise as much with good hands. They're super passive. That's why you have to play for more money with thin value at 1/2.
I played a guy at my casino half a year ago. I had AK suited in position. He called my triple barrel, which arguably probably had shit sizes and maybe he knew a tell of mine, with pocket 6s. He said "i got a pair so I have to call"... Yes there are plenty of low stakes sticky players. But I'm getting better at spotting it, and getting reads. I think a good player would have known that guy was an idiot, and not triple barreled like i did. Also sizing, timing, live tells. I'm thinking the calling stations can easily be spotted and abused. Since that day I've continued studying and am much better. I can't wait to see that guy again.
Also, i r rarely see people buy in with 100 bb, which is a straight tell. My game has a max buy in of 200bb and I'm the only one I've seen buy in for that amount. These people with 33 or 50bb stacks are crazy, and it's getting easier to tell what type of player they are as i study. I'm getting pretty pumped cause I've done 40 an hour over 10p hours, when i was a nit. I'm ready to abuse regulars, not just casual maniacs, or the gambler that shows up on weekends.
Serious and not at all trolly question: the KJ small bet bluff turn small bet bluff river line on the board pairing turn example, we are really only targeting the A high part of their range. How likely is the small bet to fold out A high? I guess we have a good price on the river bluff so A high can hero us 1/2 the time and our bluff still is profitable?
The way I handle flush draw on the turn is to keep villain in - pot size would fold out most draws hence I go your dreaded half pot/three quarters. Are you 100% sure we should always go bigger here?
I feel like this strategy works very well against a player pool that has alot of different people in it. What about you play against the same people day in day out?
Awesome video mark it really illuminated a lot of thing. My one gripe is that you said the low stakes pro was bad to call out of the small blind, but then countered your own logic when you also called pocket aces to a squeeze. But calling with strong prelim hands against players that will bluff more than they should, and also appropriately thinly bet. Calling aces isn’t bad. His mistake was check raising the flop and not letting you blast off.
maybe i didn’t emphasize the point enough. the point wasn’t to call with aces to let someone bluff, it was because the original player who opened had a $125 stack and rest of table had $1000. i don’t care about winning $125. if i 3b i shut the rest of table out. COMPLETELY different than flatting aa sb vs btn. apples to uranium comparison.
Marc, I have a common situation at 1/3 when button straddles and early/mid poisions just call. And lets say I'm in cut off. I have so many hands to open with but even if I go for 30-35 almost always nobody's is folding and I get to see the flop with 4-5 players. Unless I go for higher opening size like 55 or 65 to end up heads up and 3 way. Would you make you cut off range range much more narrow for such table and open big or would you consider to call along with medium hands and raise big with strong hands?
The call out of bluffing because we block AQ and AJ hurts, because I totally just triple barrel bluffed into a brick wall with that exact hand last weekend, haha

When you talk about being able to go thin for value or put in big bluffs, something was a bit confusing there. In the example you showed you kind of made it sound like in the same scenario we could have a big bluff or a thin value hand. But aren’t the board textures and opponent ranges that favor thin value bets totally different from where we want to put in huge bluffs? Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding but if we can overbet jam for thin value with top pair, get called off and we’re good, then that’s certainly a HORRIBLE spot to be blasting off with J high, right? Because if our opponent is calling with second pair on a paired board, that just seems like a spot to either bluff small or even give up no?
I dont know the type of fields you guys play at but yeah youre never getting people off top pair in UK low stakes by barreling off, this full aggro (with attention to sizing) strat is just igniting
I play a lot in the UK and I think it's the toughest place I've played at 1/2 or 1/3 and agree with you. That said there is still some good info in this video I'll be taking to the tables.
the way you are explaining can be dangerous for someone that doesnt understand the game. Most of the decisions are first of all vilain dependant in a live game imo. You usually double barell whn u got more equity on the turn because you will be overbluffing way too much. SSome players just dont fall top paire or second paire
I’ve yet to come across a low stakes player who folds TP, even when a draw comes in. My experience is I was lightning money on fire, plus poker wisdom has it don’t bluff recreationals. Yet I’m no pro, and I listen to hungryhorse with interest. But I much would like to see some real live examples where they actually regularly fold TP, not just sounding nice in theory…
In an attempt to balance the range of humans playing poker, instead of solely big boi bluffs and big boi value bets, could we also have big gurl value bets and big gurl bluffs? Please and thank you.
If they aren't folding then you just need to adjust and get Max value when you have overpaid, 2 pair hands. By the way I agree with you about players rarely folding those top pair holdings

@ this is a very good point, I’d say the biggest weakness in my game is knowing stack sizes and it showed.
@hungry horse What program/tool do you use to visualulize the hands?
not OP but I had the same question and googled the logo on the felt plus poker and got holdem manager 3, which looks like the program.
Marc, I have a common situation at 1/3 when button straddles and early/mid poisions just call.
And lets say I'm in cut off. I have so many hands to open with but even if I go for 30-35 almost always nobody's is folding and I get to see the flop with 4-5 players.

Would you make you cut off range range much more narrow for such table and open big or would you consider to call along with medium hands and raise big with strong hands?
If everyone's calling, you have to narrow your range unless they are loose-weak...
Damn #1 right out the gate is accurate. The medium strength hands otr gets checked by me alot.
When I have low showdown value I'm betting the river.
What's the river size? Marc said small. 80-120? I feel like much smaller a 5 looks me up a little too often.
The turn card king on the first hand is a GREAT card to barrell
especially when the fish floated with AK KQ KJ!
Would you also use these strategies if you played with pretty much the same people everyday (home game), some of them capable of making adjustments?
yes
I'm finding that my opponenets refuse to raise the flop with good hands, any advice?

31:01 you are 100 percent correct. That is good bucketing right there. Its hard to find a player that can do both.
When you talk about being able to go thin for value or put in big bluffs, something was a bit confusing there.
In the example you showed you kind of made it sound like in the same scenario we could have a big bluff or a thin value hand. But aren’t the board textures and opponent ranges that favor thin value bets totally different from where we want to put in huge bluffs?
Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding but if we can overbet jam for thin value with top pair, get called off and we’re good, then that’s certainly a HORRIBLE spot to be blasting off with J high, right? Because if our opponent is calling with second pair on a paired board, that just seems like a spot to either bluff small or even give up no?
you’re absolutely correct. wasn’t necessarily discussing the spot, just how players are capable of one or other.
