While I’ve been working on #5, #4 is actually very important also. Low stakes players have bluffs, but they underbluff. I’ve been hero calling in the past, and now looking back it was more ego driven rather than EV driven. I now fold more to aggression. My risk/reward has improved, and my win rate is materially higher.
I put this into practice last night, and it was shockingly effective. I pretty much ran like death. I probably VPIPed less than 10% because I got dealt so few raise-able hands. In ten hours, I was never dealt AK or a pair higher than 10s, and I won at showdown less than ten times. I paid off a few times I shouldn't have; I bluffed into slow played hands a few times; and I got it all in with a flopped straight to get cracked by runner-runner boat; and yet ultimately, my stack still grew. The vast majority of my wins were from steps 2 and 5 (with the help of 1 and 3). I only got called with a bluff catcher once. I only made four real hands the whole night, but got paid on three. I ended up winning over 400 BB on the session.
@@hungryhorsepoker I do not agree with your third point. Just down bet from out of position as the pre-flop aggressor instead of checking. Other than that these are good tips.
@@TheTree1 no. he makes complete sense. Checking gives you more information on your opponents hand as our villains make many face up decisions when checked to on the flop. Additionally they make way too many mistakes on the turn and it gives you many check raise opportunities… Now I may not check my entire range, but I would certainly check back my ep range.
You're really going the extra mile demonstrating this solver work so I've subscribed just for that. I was wondering what resources you utilized to learn poker and more specifically how to work with solvers once you reached an intermediate level.
tbh i just watched a youtube video on how to do basic stuff in piosolver, then jumped down the rabbit hole! just an intense curiosity was really the only thing that guided me.
Hi from Brasil, Ty a lot for the videos! Can u talk in the future videos about 3bet strategy both, pre and pos flop? in and out position, bonus 3bet in multiway pots?
13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know? 17. What is your most treasured memory? 18. What is your most terrible memory? 26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share ..." 27. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for him or her to know. 30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself? 31. Tell your partner something that you like about them already. 32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about? 33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
That was pretty nice. I find myself doing solver jams against fish with value because my bluffs want to bet that size but they clearly arent strong but would probably have paid off half pot for 30bb instead of going for the OB jam and getting a fold
Excellent tips, I hope to mentor with you soon. I currently play 1/2 in London and my English level is not that good yet, these are my challenges to start with. Hugs
Think of yourself like a electric eel at the poker table. If you try to shock your opponents early the chance of success is less than if you wait until they have been injured by other players.
I am enjoying your content. The low stakes games I play in average anywhere from 33BB to 100BB. When you say to play tighter how tight are you suggesting? Can you give an example?
I really liked the video in some ways. FWIW, despite the nice thought process, I think the guide is recommending strategies that are somewhat too simple. A more nuanced strategy would crush low stakes live NLHE games for even more profit than this 5 step guide. I don't really play 5/5 NLHE much anymore though unless I am playing there while waitijg for another table. Opinion of a live pro who cut his teeth at capped 3/5 NLHE 16+ years ago. I have also coached a lot of players for live 5/5 NLHE equivalent stakes. I did really like #5 of the 5 part guide though.
Do you have any advice for burning out when playing for a long time and how to refill the passion and comeback to play freshly again? Sometimes, I feel like poker is not fun 😢.
if it’s a hobby - don’t force yourself! take a break for as long as that need be until you actually have the urge to play. no one’s holding a gun to your head. if it’s your job - do something else! there are many ways to make way better money than poker. it’s only a great job if you truly love it and obsess over it.
It’s very tough when i ran very bad. Cannot make any hand and cannot stop losing. Even I made a strong hand, I ran into top of the opponents’ range. It took a lot of time to realize the real world that can be. Even if I study a ton, I can still have many losing sessions. As you said, we have to really love and obsess to this game to keep playing in cloudy days.
Great video - thanks! How do things change multiway? I'm assuming checking 100% of our range OOP might be an issue in a multiway pot. For example, say we raise in MP with QQ and CO, button, and BB all call. To use the same flop as in the video (Js9s2c), any K, Q, T, 8, or 7 completes a straight, spade completes a flush, any J or 9 causes trips, and an ace is a likely overcard. I'm assuming we would have to c-bet more often multiway to deny equity?
great question! too complex for a short answer, so i think i’ll make a video soon on this exact topic where i can show a bunch of diff scenarios for how i think about playing multi-way spots in position and out.
I dont understand the checking your entire range? Lets say you have a pretty good hand, for example KJ8 rainbow and you have KQ, you check they check? then what to do now? you probably have the best hand, but didnt get any value on the flop, and they most likely havent improved, feel like it makes sense to get your money in when they have more outs, so they call and give you more value?
does c betting whole range hu mean every time you're hu in a 3 bet pot you c bet or only if the board hits your perceived range? Not sure if i'm framing that correct, tyia
every board in a hu pot i’m cbetting ip. don’t care about who’s range it hits. most police players can’t spell range. except some very static / dry boards i talk about in other videos.
As a Texas poker player, lots of the “standard” adjustments don’t work for me. Texas 1/2 plays like 2/5 or higher. Max buy in is $1000 at my local card house. It’s also hourly so preflop is fundamentally different since rake isn’t a factor. Would you consider making a video on playing in these games where people really don’t follow GTO strategy and call way too wide preflop (resulting in lots of multiway pots, chasing draws, overvaluing top pair)
Piggybacking off of this, building a bankroll is so hard since I’m essentially starting at a 2/5 blind level. Even a $500 buy in really isn’t much in a big pot. The variance is also very high since most pots are multiway and people call down too light. How do I “start” playing live cash when the field is so volatile and loose and the smallest games still play huge?
couple points: what i've found: live poker is live poker is live poker. as part of our CFP, we have guys playing in california, vegas, texas, florida, philly, etc etc etc. we've had guys in our bootcamp in canada, austria, netherlands, etc. in all live poker games: players call too much pre, play too passive post, and fastplay value too much on flop/turn on dynamic boards. games are quite similar in every market. we do have a multiway guide video coming out soon which you may find useful!
Since rake doesn’t exist here does that allow for more opportunities to limp in with hands that can make the nuts post flop and cooler other people who call too wide with any two suited cards and overvalue top pair? Like suited aces, suited kings, low pairs?
Thanks! What do you do on the river and your tomato is being squished? Recently my tomato almost burst. Can you run a sim and share in your next video?
nice Video thx! You c-bet 50% default in small stakes games? or better how much value would add a c-bet strategy with 3 choices 33% 50% and 66%? if its not much i would stick to your default 50% cbet strategy (i play 2/4 live) i subscribed, greetings from germany.
@@apocalypsepromotions7676 i think it depens on nut advantage and board conectivity. But for simplyfie it, i ask if you could choose a 50% on default on all boards
thank you! 2 points - 1) a simple strategy executed WELL is always going to outperform a complex strategy. don't overcomplicate it against players who aren't thinking so hard. 2) i don't always cbet 50%! i cbet the size where they raise their strong hands + call their weak hands. have an entire video coming out on bet sizing in the next few weeks.
I don't know who teaches youtube vlogglers that background music is a good idea on a presentation sucjas this one. I hope you get the point. Looking forward to next video without background noise
@@hungryhorsepokerthe arrogance of people that think they speak for everyone, never surprises me. The background music is the best I've ever heard.

Great stuff. Do we still check our entire range when we are oop in a srp heads up? How about when we are oop in a srp multiway? I know we suppose to be doing a lot of checking when oop in general, but can we implement that strategy to single raised pots heads up and srp's multiway?
shortcut question i ask when hu: will they make more mistakes vs a check or vs a bet? usually - the answer is check when we are oop. i deviate when eff stacks are short as x has way less benefits. video on mw spots coming soon!
No concern about being unbalanced with step 5? Also does it have to be 2.5x? Can it be 1.5x? I feel 2.5x will stick out like a sore thumb, and villains will remember and adjust quickly
yeah fair point i should have clarified - the exact size doesn’t matter. choose the size that gets them to do what you want. it could be half pot. it could be pot. it could be 3x pot!

ima be honest i had nothing to do with that i think youtube did it for me 😂
@@hungryhorsepoker Well you make great videos, and I liked your bet sizing guide a lot!
Great stuff 🎉
thanks for the content Marc! what would be your pre-flop adjustment in a time-rake game? also if there is a btn straddle with last action?
in a time rake id probably open a bit wider from every position and would have more flats on button/bb.
That was pretty nice. I find myself doing solver jams against fish with value because my bluffs want to bet that size but they clearly arent strong but would probably have paid off half pot for 30bb instead of going for the OB jam and getting a fold
