For a limited time, I am giving away my Best-Selling E-Book, Strategies for Beating Small Stakes Poker Cash Games for FREE: pages.pokercoaching.com/free-small-stakes-poker-ebook
Hi Jonathan. You make a great point about rake in the first few minutes. I'd like to clarify something about rake though. My local casino takes a rake from every pot with action. $1-2 is 10% capped at $20, max buy in 50BB (Absolutely criminal, never play that). $1-3 is 10% capped at $15, max buy in 100BB (better but still criminal). Anyway, since they take a rake effectively on every street, I figure that each person in the pot has contributed towards the rake, i.e., a portion of each person's bet/s has gone towards the rake. To me, this makes sense and it helps you weigh up those marginal "pure poker" pot odds calls which would become -EV because the rake reduces the potential reward for the amount you're risking. But I've had some strongly opposing views that the only person who contributes to the rake is the winner since the size of the pot is otherwise less than it would have been so they've "lost" that amount to rake. Who is right?
Gamblers like the thrill of seeing flops , playing as few hands as possible and just cashing in when you get the nuts takes an amount of discipline more than what the average player has
Also moving forward AGGRESSIVELY with made hands and string hands when flopped is the weakness disciplined beginners exhibit. Missing bets is the difference between break even and highly profitable in the long run.
@@corriedebeer799 thata when implied odds and pot odds really matter....sometimes if u have a nut flush draw and two oved cards it's better to get it in on the flop. You have a ton of equity and puts pressure on one pair hands. But pot odds and implied odds
I'm not sure if its part of my personality, but I have problems 3-betting/check-raising wide in a live setting. I just seem to chicken out. Behind a computer it just seems less confrontational. I think I need to try a couple sessions using charts to force myself to get into these tougher situations.
Yes. You will see a nice increase to your win-rate when you start to 3bet with a balanced strategy. Nothing in poker is confrontational, the goal is to win!
I felt this too for a long time, and it takes a while to get over it. Some people use a little (a *LITTLE*) bit of alcohol to help them get over this hump. I prefer to just go cold turkey. Go to a game and have your goal be to make players not want to play against you. If you want to play poker to make money, you can't be afraid to have people not like you for playing too aggressive, and thus not letting them see easy flops and play small ball, easy poker. Most people don't actually judge you negatively for playing aggressive, and those that do are usually your standard old-man-coffee who limps with kings to try and flop quads and hit the high hand bonus. Sometimes in poker, you're going to bluff and just run into it. It happens. Sometimes you're going to lose big pots due to bluffs, and those feel the worst because you feel it's your fault and was avoidable. But it's important to not listen to your emotions and just stick to the strategy which you know will win you money in the long run, even if it leaves you red-faced every now and then.
This is really really awesome. I don’t like watching video without any scene that looks attractive but I fucking spent one hour to listen this. Thank a lot Jonathan for your sharing
I am currently going over strategies for small stakes cash games. I can not remember what the levels online and off line that this line of thinking will allow a long term profit. Can you please tell me up to what levels this book will help. Thanks.
Which of your books if any would cover the basics of no limit ? Specifically the terms/definitions used during table action and in videos. Appreciate your contribution to the game.
Yes! But I followed these rules & losses my FULL HOUSE (Queens over Jacks) to 4 of a Kind on the River lol...I couldn't even get upset. Just looked at it like 'that's just how the cards turned today'
In colorado we only have spred limit or 30 /60 limit games. Blinds 2,5, $100 max bet in the spred games, which is what I play. Will this bundle work for me?
In Vegas, if there’s no flop, there’s no drop. Wouldn’t that incentivize one to 3 bet/open more liberally preflop there, more than California for instance?
Yes, certainly. It shouldn't affect your opening ranges very much though, but it definitely adds value to 3-betting over calling against the original raiser.
I am grinding online for quite decent time already and I was looking for something what could fix my leaks to improve my win rate. And also something what could make me ready for a live games as I want to try them in my city. When I saw this, I was like Fry in Futurama - “Shut up and take my money!” xD
I'm already pretty dam good but I MUST IMPROVE. For reasons I wont go into, I cant work anymore. My monthly income has become stupid in a bad way. I have no dam money. To remedy this, I'm going poker. I simply have no choice. I cant afford to become a member, but I'm going to buy this. I will study it like a preacher does the Bible...and then I'm going to have to play "scared" until I earn enough to build a bank roll of 20 buy ins minimum. Probably around 4k for smallest NL stakes. The toughest part of this is going to be defeating my own tendencies... Ive played over a million hands online. Some live. Probably 1.5 mil - 2 mil. 90% tourneys. Those habits are now hard wired, so I need to get past them in order to improve. Improvement can only happen with change so LETS DO IT! By the way, I dont usually thank people when I buy something. Sometimes. ..but point is, Ive been searching and searching for a way to achieve my goals, but in poker that's really tough without guidance. So thanks Jonathan for making this available! I'd like to see more inexpensive bundles if possible. Thanks
@@PokerCoaching Thanks Jonathan! Its odd. I have all this experience, and I know I can win...but I have no confidence that what I already know will be good enough. I think it needs to be even better especially since the quality of my life literally depends on it. Why NOT do everything I possibly can to improve? I did my job well, and poker is no different in my eyes. My intentions with the bundle is to improve the "system" that I already have in place, so I can attain the additional confidence that I currently lack. That's really all I can ask.

OMG- Jonathan is essentially leading you down a terrible life path and he doesn’t care- he just wants your money. Please consult your trusted friends and family regarding this life choice. Attempting to professionally gamble under those circumstances is not responsible.
I want to be clear that when I said great attitude, I was referring to your desire to learn and improve. Certainly, you should gamble responsibly and find ways of playing properly bankrolled. For all bankroll questions check out jonathanlittlepoker.com/bankroll
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I read over the comment too quickly and was referring to his desire to learn and improve when saying great attitude. Certainly, I would never want someone to gamble irresponsibly.
I do not understand why you would bet every card, but an A?? Can you please explain Jonathen?? Thanks! Brett ..from the now world famous Stones Gambling Hall!
After watching/listening this video. (Multiple times) Listening while doing Adult chores we all love. I entered $100 no rebuy no add on tournament. I kid you not. First tournament after. Won the tournament. Granted cards were landing. However no ego. Stayed positive, congratulated my opponents when I was outplayed. But I outplayed my opponents 75+% of the time. My debit card is on its way to read your material.
On the new 6 max charts GTO.... why we only flat on the BU and why we just 3 bet linear? Is it better to use your polar 3 betting and flat also from other Postions? and of course NUTZ as allways
When you flat from the HJ and CO, it allows for the BTN player to squeeze with a very wide range. Due to the fact that you're guaranteed to play the pot in position, you can have a flatting range from the BTN, but the HJ, CO, and SB should just use a linear 3-betting strategy.
after seeing this video I realized I play EVEN TIGHTER than Jonathan suggests to play and I still cant properly make profit in low stakes cash games. I loose a lot of all ins I was statistically favored and I get turned and rivered to often after being favored on the flop. Not sure how to improve there, probably betting size and aggression factor I pressume.
One other thing Jonathan,, and thank you for your time, It seems to me there are ssso many people playing crap hands and hitting. K,3 K,5 etc.. making 2 pair. I see this in 1/2 a lot. So frustrating!!! I guess the answer is to stay the course and the long run odds will work in my favor?! Brett
You have to increase your range for making higher value hands. Dropping all unsuited hands below J,10 is a MUST. Unsuited "weak" aces have to go unless in late position then wheel hands can be feathered in. Playing suited one gappers is probably as loose as you can go and that might be questionable depending on level of play. TIGHT. Play +EV and make sure you're getting proper odds on flush draws and set mining. DISCIPLINE while everyone else loses theirs is what wins the day.
Thanks for the videos Jonathan. I need some help here from anyone who is willing and constructive criticism is ok as long as it helps me out, I know position is important but what should be the last connected/suited connected hand I should play in the lets say button or even cutoff? I have noticed that a lot of the money I lose is from playing hands like QJ suited or even A Q off suit on the button. Furthermore I play a lot of .10/.20 cash games so I usually call with that and if someone raises lets say 1 I'll call but it seems I never hit it. I know getting a flush or a straight is hard but even a top pair is great. Any help with that will be wonderful because I don't know if I'm making mistakes here or if it's just a simple bad beat.
Check out these 6max cash game preflop charts. They show you an implementable GTO strategy for how to play different hand types from what position: pages.pokercoaching.com/6max-gto-charts
I see that you commented a year ago so you might not need the advice anymore, but from your comment it seems to me that you really need to study and make major changes to your game. Your asking if you should play hands that are way up near the top of the buttons range. To me it seems as if you are waiting to hit the nuts to bet and that isn't how poker is played, especially if you are playing on a 6 max table. Neither hand you mentioned should be a call or a double flat (calling getting raised and calling again shows major weakness so people are probably blasting you off hands.) These hands should be 3-bet preflop and then the action will naturally check to you so you can C bet the flop. Develop a balanced range of hands, so let's say with 80% of hands you 3 bet with you want to c bet the flop, in this scenario that means 20% of your hands your checking. For your check range you need to have 10% junk and 10% strong hands so checking isn't an auto sign to just bet you off on the turn. The same with your betting range. A big portion of it needs to be your best hands and best draws but you need some air in there so your opponents can't just fold to your bets. Get yourself some good charts for the game you play and develop your strategy from every street. Try to stay balanced and make yourself hard to play against.
At 4 min he tells us not to call raises with trash, then immediately proceeds to use card examples of when not to limp into a pot after it’s been limped around (complete;y neglecting any examples of calling a raise light… maybe he misspoke easier and meant to say don’t limp into limped pots light, not “don’t call raised pots light”. I mean, don’t do either but still… somewhat unclear.) then he actually shows viable hands to limp in after it’s been limped around, like 97s… I’d say raise light to widen your raising range and to punish limpers (especially if you’re at a weak table with passive players who will limp fold), or just fold… limping to see a cheap flop when you have 3 or more to act is a bad idea.
I hired my first coach once I had a bankroll of about $5,000. He mainly taught me how to hold onto money and not be an idiot, which is exactly what I needed at the time.
Quick question. The A3 suited scenerio at 23:00. min You say it’s better to check A3 high cause it has show down value. But if we feel we have the best hand with A3 diamonds should we not A- build the pot and B protect the hand ?
You probably said this somewhere in the video, but is the $99 fee a one time charge? When I went to the website, it seems like they are trying to sell us a monthly membership.
@@antontzonev1194 $99/month. When you sign up through a bundle, you keep that bundle forever and then get to access the entire library and new content added each month.
I don’t think the 3-betting against calling stations argument holds up. In my experience, low-stakes calling stations will call, not 4-bet, with almost everything except AA and KK, and sometimes even flat KK. Also, the bottom part of a good player’s opening range is absent from these players’ ranges, because they just limp that stuff. So when we 3bet AJo from OOP, we get called by many hands that dominate us and get folds from worse hands; we get few calls from hands we dominate. We have also opened our whole stack up in a 100BB cap game. Now, if the real reason for 3betting is to get used to the feeling of playing aggressively with non-premium hands because that’s what you have to do to win at the higher stakes, I understand.
Okay - I signed up for the list couple days ago already but don’t want to quite pull the trigger on a subscription yet - I’d rather just focus on online small stakes cash games. I got a free account a few days ago as well. I’m just very impatient to consume all the cash pkg info - if u can say it’s not gonna happen in the next 6 months, I’ll look elsewhere.
I really don't see anything about check-raise I agree with almost everything you say so too bad I don't see anything about check-raise like if they would have had a set when you had a pair of kings and played it the exact same I wanted to hear what you would have done if you got check raised and I know you would never re-raise or would you in small Stakes
Do you have scholarships available?? my house gets 720.00 a month as you can imagine that doesn't go very far and I really need to change that. I have some skills but I also know that I have holes in my game. Please help

Oh well I don't know I thought your video was over once you gave all of those tips at the 10-minute mark or so I don't remember but would you ever re-raise on what I was talking about if you knew for a fact I mean obviously not a fact but ninety percent sure that they had a skiing and you had to Bluff your way to win even though you thought you were value betting at first and I know it depends on the player but still what players would you do what with obviously Pros you could get to fold
I’ve not been to good health wise and so I was a little surprised I missed this whole promotion. I have now purchased it. But I need to know why I missed this by going back through my emails. I take it, nothings changed on your end as to why I never received the notification about this product? Anyway, it took me less than 30 seconds to decide this product was worth the $99 (£85). All I need now is the time to watch it, make notes and implement small changes in to my game for when I can play. Plaza
Value betting the river with one pair is not a good idea with low stakes because u are always getting calls with only top pairs or w pairs. Honestly i play 1/3 2/5 and 5/5. These player all know what they are doing never any newbies. Also in these stakes alot of people limp to pot control out of position so range is usually not that bad. I agree with 3 betting tho
This is not true. I get called down all the time with TPTK or TP second kicker on the river in 50nl and 100nl and the 1/3 pot value bet is most of my profitable plays. Check his stats if he is loose passive you are very likely to get called down with the best hand if villain has not shown any strength. I’d prefer to err on side of aggressiveness and learn the hard way when is the right time to value bet and how much, but it is often the correct and profitable play.
Bit of a personal question but I've always wondered so I have to ask. When you were playing full time, were you happy with your life? Poker is a very intriguing game with tons of dynamics and factors to consider. That makes it a lot of fun. However, I can't help but feel that people who do it for a living might feel unfulfilled; because, let's be honest, the majority of them don't really bring anything positive to society. Did you do some charity work or something on the side to help you feel fulfilled and happy while playing full time?
most people don't bring anything positive to society.???? Does a loan officer bring anything of value to society? how bout a mailman? people who are positive, genuine and empathetic bring value to society? its much more about your personality not profession? But critical thinking is lacking in america and that leads people to be satisfied with the rat race that is the social norm. thanks
I wish the guy I was playing against on Friday took your advice. I flop a set of Qs and he turns a flush with 92s. Why these assholes calling preflop raises with 92 and taking my money??? Are there no poker Gods?
You are very knowledgeable but not a lot constantly have more than an hour, if you can make it small and do it by parts it will be better. I have one more concerned but I might offend you .

Great advice Too much of it. Thanks for wasting 1/2 hour of my life with your bait and switch infomercial. I'll see you at the gardens tiny tables, we'll see how you fare.
The only thing that seems a little off is his take on 1/2 pre-flop raise sizing. In every 1/2 game that I have ever seen, played in, or dealt ( thousands upon thousands ) the standard pre-flop open is somewhere between $10 - $20 (depending on limpers and player types).Everything Jonathan says to do is honestly just pure gold. I started playing again recently after a 5 year hiatus and I wanted an efficient way to get my skill level up to par with the local regs. Watching just his free UA-cam content alone gave me the structure and mindset I needed to compete with the local 1/2 and 2/5 players and be profitable. If you or anyone thinks that listening to his advice is a waste of time .... you are not paying attention.
@@gorilladigits8223 ...and I even address twice in this video how to play if you are lucky enough to find yourself in a game where people raise to a huge amount preflop.
Jonathan Little - Poker Coaching yes you did. And honestly, in hindsight my comment about your 1/2 1/3 pre-flop sizing advice seems asinine. I’m just so accustomed to people calling larger bets pre. I think most small stakes players don’t take stack size into account and also do not have a lot of experience playing deep either

Furthermore I play a lot of .10/.20 cash games so I usually call with that and if someone raises lets say 1 I'll call but it seems I never hit it. I know getting a flush or a straight is hard but even a top pair is great. Any help with that will be wonderful because I don't know if I'm making mistakes here or if it's just a simple bad beat.

I see that you commented a year ago so you might not need the advice anymore, but from your comment it seems to me that you really need to study and make major changes to your game. Your asking if you should play hands that are way up near the top of the buttons range. To me it seems as if you are waiting to hit the nuts to bet and that isn't how poker is played, especially if you are playing on a 6 max table. Neither hand you mentioned should be a call or a double flat (calling getting raised and calling again shows major weakness so people are probably blasting you off hands.) These hands should be 3-bet preflop and then the action will naturally check to you so you can C bet the flop. Develop a balanced range of hands, so let's say with 80% of hands you 3 bet with you want to c bet the flop, in this scenario that means 20% of your hands your checking. For your check range you need to have 10% junk and 10% strong hands so checking isn't an auto sign to just bet you off on the turn. The same with your betting range. A big portion of it needs to be your best hands and best draws but you need some air in there so your opponents can't just fold to your bets.
Get yourself some good charts for the game you play and develop your strategy from every street. Try to stay balanced and make yourself hard to play against.
@@PokerCoaching p
At 4 min he tells us not to call raises with trash, then immediately proceeds to use card examples of when not to limp into a pot after it’s been limped around (complete;y neglecting any examples of calling a raise light… maybe he misspoke easier and meant to say don’t limp into limped pots light, not “don’t call raised pots light”. I mean, don’t do either but still… somewhat unclear.) then he actually shows viable hands to limp in after it’s been limped around, like 97s… I’d say raise light to widen your raising range and to punish limpers (especially if you’re at a weak table with passive players who will limp fold), or just fold… limping to see a cheap flop when you have 3 or more to act is a bad idea.
When you hired a poker coach, what areas did you focus on? And how far along in your career when you hired them?
I hired my first coach once I had a bankroll of about $5,000. He mainly taught me how to hold onto money and not be an idiot, which is exactly what I needed at the time.
Quick question. The A3 suited scenerio at 23:00. min You say it’s better to check A3 high cause it has show down value. But if we feel we have the best hand with A3 diamonds should we not A- build the pot and B protect the hand ?
You probably said this somewhere in the video, but is the $99 fee a one time charge? When I went to the website, it seems like they are trying to sell us a monthly membership.
For the bundle, it is a one time charge. For all of the bundle + more content inside PokerCoaching Premium, it is a monthly payment.
@@PokerCoaching You got my money!
Jonathan Little - Poker Coaching what is the monthly price for Pokercoaching premium?
@@antontzonev1194 $99/month. When you sign up through a bundle, you keep that bundle forever and then get to access the entire library and new content added each month.
I don’t think the 3-betting against calling stations argument holds up. In my experience, low-stakes calling stations will call, not 4-bet, with almost everything except AA and KK, and sometimes even flat KK. Also, the bottom part of a good player’s opening range is absent from these players’ ranges, because they just limp that stuff. So when we 3bet AJo from OOP, we get called by many hands that dominate us and get folds from worse hands; we get few calls from hands we dominate. We have also opened our whole stack up in a 100BB cap game.
Now, if the real reason for 3betting is to get used to the feeling of playing aggressively with non-premium hands because that’s what you have to do to win at the higher stakes, I understand.
Matt Brown 3-bet with something marginal like j10 then bluff and show it. This will get them to call more 3 bets
Where can I find a pdf of the 3 betting charts?

Do these tips work mostly for North Americans only? I'm an expat living in Prague and they are maniacs.
All of these tips will work great against overly aggressive players!
@@PokerCoaching Not if you're against Mike Postle. :)
Very helpful, I thank you,
Jonathan. Why did you leave out POSITION from your discussion.??
Huh?
Will this be on sale again this year? I’d get it at $99.
I am not sure, be sure to get on my email list by signing up to a free account at PokerCoaching.com.
Okay - I signed up for the list couple days ago already but don’t want to quite pull the trigger on a subscription yet - I’d rather just focus on online small stakes cash games. I got a free account a few days ago as well. I’m just very impatient to consume all the cash pkg info - if u can say it’s not gonna happen in the next 6 months, I’ll look elsewhere.
I really don't see anything about check-raise I agree with almost everything you say so too bad I don't see anything about check-raise like if they would have had a set when you had a pair of kings and played it the exact same I wanted to hear what you would have done if you got check raised and I know you would never re-raise or would you in small Stakes
Do you have scholarships available?? my house gets 720.00 a month as you can imagine that doesn't go very far and I really need to change that.
I have some skills but I also know that I have holes in my game. Please help
I do not give out scholarships. I do offer a free membership to PokerCoaching.com though. You will get access to 20 quizzes, 3 homework webinars, and preflop charts to help you improve your game. Sign up here: pokercoaching.com
So stoked on this!
Oh well I don't know I thought your video was over once you gave all of those tips at the 10-minute mark or so I don't remember but would you ever re-raise on what I was talking about if you knew for a fact I mean obviously not a fact but ninety percent sure that they had a skiing and you had to Bluff your way to win even though you thought you were value betting at first and I know it depends on the player but still what players would you do what with obviously Pros you could get to fold
Very helpful. Ty

Yes
I’ve not been to good health wise and so I was a little surprised I missed this whole promotion. I have now purchased it. But I need to know why I missed this by going back through my emails. I take it, nothings changed on your end as to why I never received the notification about this product?
Anyway, it took me less than 30 seconds to decide this product was worth the $99 (£85). All I need now is the time to watch it, make notes and implement small changes in to my game for when I can play.

I hope you enjoy it!
How much do you charge?
Thanks keep it up 👍
What is rake
A fee charged by the poker room. Usually a % of each pot in small stakes cash games.
Jonathan Little - Poker Coaching so this would be how casinos make money from poker?
@@jadenadams9933 Yes.
Awesome content. Thx JL.
Value betting the river with one pair is not a good idea with low stakes because u are always getting calls with only top pairs or w pairs. Honestly i play 1/3 2/5 and 5/5. These player all know what they are doing never any newbies. Also in these stakes alot of people limp to pot control out of position so range is usually not that bad. I agree with 3 betting tho
This is not true. I get called down all the time with TPTK or TP second kicker on the river in 50nl and 100nl and the 1/3 pot value bet is most of my profitable plays. Check his stats if he is loose passive you are very likely to get called down with the best hand if villain has not shown any strength. I’d prefer to err on side of aggressiveness and learn the hard way when is the right time to value bet and how much, but it is often the correct and profitable play.
Yes.
55 so your heads up
I haven't been 3 betting enough and I been playing way too many hands
Ian Burns start playing better hands in early position, 3-bet more, and bluff after your opponent checks 2 times, you’ll make much more money
Playing 8 hours a day is only kind of full-time what?
You can always grind more. I played 12 when I was doing it full time. :)
Bit of a personal question but I've always wondered so I have to ask. When you were playing full time, were you happy with your life? Poker is a very intriguing game with tons of dynamics and factors to consider. That makes it a lot of fun. However, I can't help but feel that people who do it for a living might feel unfulfilled; because, let's be honest, the majority of them don't really bring anything positive to society. Did you do some charity work or something on the side to help you feel fulfilled and happy while playing full time?
most people don't bring anything positive to society.???? Does a loan officer bring anything of value to society? how bout a mailman? people who are positive, genuine and empathetic bring value to society? its much more about your personality not profession? But critical thinking is lacking in america and that leads people to be satisfied with the rat race that is the social norm. thanks
@@jasonrenshaw1053 if there were no mailmen then who would deliver your mail. lol
This is the most Beta-ass comment I’ve ever seen directed towards a poker player.
$100 an hour, $800 a session?!? wow! In my dreams.
your cheat sheet link is a dead link!!!
It is working for me.
check it. Nonb nobody ever calls over calls
in another video you recommend not defending small blind. in this video you have an example of raising sb
GTO doesnt work in low stakes i learned that the hard way.
It does, but exploitative strategies will likely work better.
I wish the guy I was playing against on Friday took your advice. I flop a set of Qs and he turns a flush with 92s. Why these assholes calling preflop raises with 92 and taking my money??? Are there no poker Gods?
YES
You are very knowledgeable but not a lot constantly have more than an hour, if you can make it small and do it by parts it will be better. I have one more concerned but I might offend you .
I don't get offended.
Hello
JLittle has great content... and these are 5 great tips... But this was a 1h 6min video, where over half the time was spent pitching pokercoaching.com. I understand a man's gotta make a living, but it felt a little excessive.
Noted. Thank you for your feedback.
At least he put the long ad at the end--end 40min anyway, haha. Easy to flip off after you've seen enough.
@@PokerCoaching I appreciate that you did us all the favor of at least front loading all of your courtesy content before you went into the serious pitch for pokercoaching.com. That way, those of us who are interested could continue and those of us who aren't can simply stop the video. Great tips by the way.
👍
Yes! ALOT!!!
5o hads hand
It takes like 50s has to get the flow so I can you play the heads up just to get the feel of the phone just to get the phone with replaceable heads up you don't get to get out of their play to get into the groove

You're on the cub
Come
That's a no-brainer with the perfect
So basically you talk about poker for 24 minutes out of the 1 hr video the rest is just promoting lol ok
How about you create a video and than complain
in the first minutes this guy is throwing nontent at us. I was curios what has to say a guy who won millions. So i will still watch. Let's see.
after the first minutes he really gives some interesting advices for novices. I am too old and too experienced for that, but nicely done. Any advanced tips on your website? Is that 30 days money back guarantee real? Because it's not fair to find something i know an pay for it. Like here :) (i payed with my time)
Maybe add a bitcoin payment option?
If you want to pay using a different method, email support@pokercoaching.com.
Wow played for an hour and won 200 bucks you better do exactly what he said amazing!!! Hahaha this is fkng stupid
Your poker content is good. But your tipping is disgusting.
Maybe your service sucks
Great advice
Too much of it. Thanks for wasting 1/2 hour of my life with your bait and switch infomercial. I'll see you at the gardens tiny tables, we'll see how you fare.
What a waste of time. This guy is totally out of touch with casino SS.
The only thing that seems a little off is his take on 1/2 pre-flop raise sizing. In every 1/2 game that I have ever seen, played in, or dealt ( thousands upon thousands ) the standard pre-flop open is somewhere between $10 - $20 (depending on limpers and player types).Everything Jonathan says to do is honestly just pure gold. I started playing again recently after a 5 year hiatus and I wanted an efficient way to get my skill level up to par with the local regs. Watching just his free UA-cam content alone gave me the structure and mindset I needed to compete with the local 1/2 and 2/5 players and be profitable. If you or anyone thinks that listening to his advice is a waste of time .... you are not paying attention.
@@gorilladigits8223 ...and I even address twice in this video how to play if you are lucky enough to find yourself in a game where people raise to a huge amount preflop.
Jonathan Little - Poker Coaching yes you did. And honestly, in hindsight my comment about your 1/2 1/3 pre-flop sizing advice seems asinine. I’m just so accustomed to people calling larger bets pre. I think most small stakes players don’t take stack size into account and also do not have a lot of experience playing deep either
Yes
