You taught me at 17 when I began studying Small Ball. It overhauled my game and gave me a $100k net worth in my mid-twenties. Now you're aiding me again in my early 30's. Thank you Sir.
I'm relatively new to poker, but I've really gotten into it since watching Daniel. He's really animated and generally happy even if he's losing. He's insane at reading people and calling their hands. I've been in a rut recently trying to develop my skills but had a hard time finding exactly where I'm at to develop from there. This video has really helped me to understand some ideas which may be basic to others, but I now have an idea of where I'm at and where I want to go.
I misread the title, I read it as "Poker Rages Explained". I was looking for you to explain Mike Matusow & Phil Hellmuth. Might have been a good video.
You can tell he knows what he’s talking about. He’s able to talk about this continuously without “uhm” “uh” or “you know.” Definitely worth a listen even if you already have a good idea about ranges
@@jchensley7211 I was playing NLH on pokerstars and went all in with AK and lost to A3 it was pretty annoying. People in ring games are calling stations
ive played for a living for over 10 years and the game got so more complicated because where theres money to make it will attract people. people started giving poker lessons so the field got much better. to have an edge on better players you needed to evolve your game and balance it so it becomes less predictable. so to make a living of out poker in 2018 you need to be very advanced or find good games like the lower limits like 1-2. still there you'll need to know how to exploit your opponents.
I love how intellectual this game is. I've been watching a bunch of videos of you and it amazes me when you look at someone and practically know their hand.
Thanks for this Daniel. I was really big into poker pre-2009 but have not paid attention to it for a long time. You have always been one of my favorite players and this is like having you as a coach!
Great Explanation of the evolution of poker and ranges, I thing is the best one I have seen so far. I allready knew this stuff but it was hard for me to explain it to somebody. you made it simple. thanks.
Absolutely loved this video... Can't wait for more high end nuanced strategy break down. I'm normally playing with what's my hand Vs what I think theres is, the concept of calculating the ranges the opponent could have and how many card combinations could beat my range is fantastic. I want to get to a higher level of poker can't wait to apply some basic probability and math to my hands.
I feel you here, it’s actually pretty fascinating once connections start being made upstairs 🧠 when applying all these things I’m seeing pros do online.
Ted A It’s from his advertisement for his MasterClass. A few months ago, that was the first sentence you’d hear before you could skip his ad and watch your poker UA-cam video. “Everything you do at the table-conveys information-You can’t be all loosey-goosey eating a sandwich-HOOH BABY I LOVE IT” *skip ad*
For those of us who actually appreciate the fact, humble enough to listen, a most gratuitous Thank you. The modesty in which you share your information Makes it so much easier to understand. I consider myself a very good poker player, and I find myself being transparent to better players. Thank you for taking the time And giving us aspiring not for the money, but to be good at the game . Hope to play with you one day . 👊
the perfect lesson for my level; understood everything and learned two interesting things ... the AK vs AA, KK, QQ counting when holding lower pair like JJ and potentially C-betting when I might not have the cards but I have the range advantage; JJ might also block the straight for AK but 99 might not
My dad taught me five card draw poker when i was around 8 and then texas hold'em around 9. That was 20 years ago. I've always loved playing poker but i've never really watched poker tournaments nor have i really thought about "trying my luck" at it. But i've watched a lot of videos these past weeks where you are playing. You're really good, and nearly always "know" what cards your opponent has. To a point where i would call it amazing. Only found your channel now, great video! i've subscribed and looking forward to watch all your vids. Good luck with everything !
Thank you for these videos Kid. I had fallen out of love with poker after 2 years of terrible play, and some bad beats. But your consistency and beautiful personality are getting me back in the game piece by piece. I count my poker Idols on a small list... starting with my Grandfather, and having Doyle, Ivey, Helmuth and yourself now competing for 2-5! Quarantine... here I come!!!
Thank you for your dedication to the game and for helping those who haven't had the opportunity to enhance their skills like you have and sharing your knowledge. It's been a great advantage, thanks!
Super helpful thank you - switch from old school to new school feels quite overwhelming but starting to get my mind around it through videos like this and WSOP vlogs really helps so thank you for taking the time!
Just proves to me how complicated this easy to learn but difficult game to play is , why we love it and why some players do better than others . Knowledge is always power I think . Thanks . great insightful video .
Great instruction. I’m starting to understand ranges more and more. I lost a hand on the button to AQos. I raised she called . W hit the flip. She bet. I raised. She called. A hit the turn. Yup. Trip Qs. Next outing booked a nice win using ranges. So powerful. Thx Daniel. Love watching you play. You always keep it professional.
You're the freakin best bro!! I use so many of your breakdowns and actual hands for non-poker situations in everyday life. Very valuable stuff both on and off the table. Thanks brotha.
Yeah its pretty simple. Whats the chance for my opponent, who raises with a tight range from all positions, to have an 8 if he raised preflop to take a simple example, on a board like 88K? Pretty low i believe.
Daniel. Great video, you are explaining this perfectly. Keep these more detailed ones coming! The "math side" of poker is the most exhilarating part of the game for me along with taking that risky call or bluff. Keep these quality vids coming!
I appreciate this concept. One of the collateral benefits for me is that the mental process keeps me engaged in the game when I am not on a hand, when I get coolered, and so forth.
So what kind of a range should I put the guy on if he is all loosey-goosey having his sandwich? Edit: Wow! 2K likes! Wish my mom knew I'm breaking the internet.

Informative, instructional and intuitive on your part, Daniel. I have been a big fan of how you keenly read people's hands to the letter. I know you don't win everything, but you have a really good insight into the game. I'll look forward to more videos, good sir!
Daniel, you're my favorite player. I saw that picture of you recently and I know you're hella fit but you looked like you needed to eat something. I'm an old guy, 70, and I'm a pretty fair poker player. I would say I win or break even 65% of the times that I go to the casino.

It's helping me to keep up with them young whippersnappers.

Are you kidding this is great stuff! Thank you so much. Obviously, I'm Getting started back into poker. Oh, I'm buying your book. Thanks again, I hope you'll have a lot more to come.
This is mostly against other pros, in a home game just stick to old school style of play and you will do fine. I always over analyzed and did poorly mucking mediocre hands just for the two remaining players showdown with low pairs 😂
you dont have to understand ranges in order to raise or call a raise with AK preflop. Playing ranges doesnt mean that other person has to understand ranges, these are just basic premium hands that people will play according to their value. People who bet half the hands with garbage do it not because they dont understand the value of their hand but because they think that they can get away with bluffs easier than they actually would. If someone youre playing doesnt use ranges as part of their strategy, would simply not have any idea what you might be holding. SO what youre implying here would only work to your advantage not against you.
Playing normal people can be boring since you have to play standard tight poker. As others have said, you can limp in with looser hands if everyone is scared of betting pre-flop but generally, you'll bluff way less (if at all) and rely on premium hands. Once you watch some showdowns you can begin to put players on their own weird selective ranges.
DNegs is such a natural at the game and puts in a lot of work. I can see just by his mannerisms during play that he's doing at least 4-6 permutations and scenarios at the same time. It all boils down to the feel of the game that some of us simply don't have and the calcs-calculations where you just go off the probabilities. Thank you for this video.
I’ve struggled for years to understand this concept. Thank you for unlocking it. Please go slow and elaborate on the specifics…my brain really wants to learn this!!
COMBINATRIX: "If you take the blue pill, you will return to your old life... You will forget about anti-blockers, bluff calls, and triple range merges. ... But if you take the red pill... you will see how deep the rabbit hole g-" No. I'm sorry. I just can't do this. It's "combinatorics."
The combinatrix puts you on a pocket pair. She puts your face on that pocket pair with her bootheel on your skull. Next time you bust before the final table, she will make you eat what remains of your roll. You thought you could be a professional, you worm?

Perhaps you have read that A5s is a good hand to 5b bluff shove with because you block AA/AK/AQ etc and when you get called you have decent equity. BUT what they do NOT tell you is that you ALSO block A5s/55/54/56 and so on. So, combinatrixally, you block more than you might think. In addition, A5s is a great hand to CALL a 5b shove with because you BLOCK A5s, so it is more likely your opponent is 5b bluff shoving with hands like A2-A4s, which you dominate.
Perfect vid for me. Explaining some basic stuff and showing it on screen really helps me. I'm a new player and trying to understand the fundamentals, and this kind of breakdown is fantastic for me
It takes a special person to be a great ambassador of a game. First you have to prove yourself at that game. Then you must be able to spread the word to the world in a manner that a new player can grasp with little or no extra studying. This needs done by a good looking and well spoken individual. Yes, you are ideal. The game is much bigger and better because of you. Thanks.
Great information. I've been reading more about ranges and this was pretty helpful. Definitely keep going with the videos as it can help a rec player like myself get better and understand a little more of what the pros see.
Compelling, informative video Daniel. Great to see you explain how the game analysis has gone to a deeper level since the early 2000's. Looking forward to more leading edge commenrary on poker theory as well as your explanation of the seemingly complex world of game theory applied to poker. Any useful explanation of how important decisions are made in the "heat of battle and the fog of war" in this fun game of poker is appreciated. All the best in your upcoming WSOP season.
Thank you - thank you - thank you‼️. This is what I have been looking for. Mindset info to help table presence and discipline. We all must take responsibility for how we act & react at the table - your “ attitude awareness “ approach is ideal. Looking forward to to more👍
Can't wait for the WSOP VLogs!!!!!! Best Vlogs on youtube hands down. Last year was awesome. I hope it's not too much trouble for you though. Good luck too. I hope you get a bracelet or two ;D
This is fascinating, Daniel. You are describing poker “rules” or “ranges” just as I learned to play bridge. There is an expected response I am supposed to give my partner to let them know how strong or weak my hand is. But the team we are playing knows the same rules, therefore they also know how weak or strong my hand and partners hands are. I see no advantage to “play by these rules” in poker because I then don’t have an advantage if I bet a particular way based on ranges if the other players roughly know what my hand is. This is why newer players piss Phil H. off because they don’t play “by the ranges”. In my never to be humbled opinion. Great stuff, Daniel. I loved watching you against so many others, especially Phil H. I would love to read your response to my comparison to bridge.
Nice job I though it was alot of what I do playing now as well in early 2000 .... But you still have the alot of bad lucky players. That never go by this. I stay relaxed till there luck runs out.
The guy who got me into poker. Just started watching some of the world series plays and you are truly the most fun to watch play. I hope to see more in the future and to watch and learn from your vids!
Love the videos. Some move a little quick for dumb old me BUT I do have the advantage of the pause feature to stop it and allow a strategy to sink in a little before moving on. You are the one guy I will always stop whatever I’m doing to watch you play. You’re incredibly entertaining to watch with all your chatter.
great content Daniel thanks for sharing! cant wait for more around this topic as well as the Daily WSOP VLOGS i wached ALL the previous ones last year every morning!! Thanks keep it up :)
great work daniel.. are you going to do a combos video? i get the concept of combos and i do think about it when i play, but how the number of combos effects my decisions is where i need to work on. thanks and keep it up!
thank you, this video touches on a perspective not addressed by most instructors you make advanced concepts appear simple even though its taken you years to harness your skills you share them in such direct to the point manner that even a novice like my self can grasp the concept so again thank you
I just started playing poker, I’m 25 and absolutely love it. I play for little money as I’m not trying to make this my career but it’s still fun to win so I’m trying to learn as much as possible.
Think I'm going to use this process to figure out what my wife is thinking, and why I'm always in trouble with her... and that's maybe winning an argument once in awhile
This never gets old. This calculations in this entire video are computed in your brain and executed in mere seconds of real time. Awesome! It also definitely comes with practice. I dream of being a pro but know my shortcomings, not ready until I win a live tournament. Online small buy in games don't necessarily count in my bool. You need some brass in the cajones to lay down or bet big numbers.
That was a Master Class. I feel like I was actually able to follow him. It can be complicated but he did a great job of touching on all the relevant points. If you were paying attention, you got enough information to go further in your learning.
Everyone told me I had to study GTO before I go back to NL, come to find out I was doing this back in the day already, but you’re still a great talker buddy 😎
Even a bigger problem is that room he's recording in, big, open, no sound absorption (softener). The information is GREAT though. Thank you for adding to the arsenal @Daniel
" describe the hand in a very elementary way for the most part, so that you will understand it"..... in other words... you all jus' aint dat bright....
This was WONDERFUL, and absolutely presented in a way that I "a poker fan / newer player,online " could digest. Thank you so much, really it's perfect.
So what Daniel is talking about, playing more sophisticated at a high level, I learned watching Esfandiari while he was commentating a live game. He was always talking about telling a story. Really resonated with me.

Perhaps you have read that A5s is a good hand to 5b bluff shove with because you block AA/AK/AQ etc and when you get called you have decent equity. BUT what they do NOT tell you is that you ALSO block A5s/55/54/56 and so on. So, combinatrixally, you block more than you might think. In addition, A5s is a great hand to CALL a 5b shove with because you BLOCK A5s, so it is more likely your opponent is 5b bluff shoving with hands like A2-A4s, which you dominate.

Perfect vid for me. Explaining some basic stuff and showing it on screen really helps me. I'm a new player and trying to understand the fundamentals, and this kind of breakdown is fantastic for me
It takes a special person to be a great ambassador of a game. First you have to prove yourself at that game. Then you must be able to spread the word to the world in a manner that a new player can grasp with little or no extra studying. This needs done by a good looking and well spoken individual. Yes, you are ideal. The game is much bigger and better because of you. Thanks.
Great information. I've been reading more about ranges and this was pretty helpful. Definitely keep going with the videos as it can help a rec player like myself get better and understand a little more of what the pros see.
Just wait till you start getting into balancing your range, more big info to figure out lol
Compelling, informative video Daniel. Great to see you explain how the game analysis has gone to a deeper level since the early 2000's. Looking forward to more leading edge commenrary on poker theory as well as your explanation of the seemingly complex world of game theory applied to poker. Any useful explanation of how important decisions are made in the "heat of battle and the fog of war" in this fun game of poker is appreciated. All the best in your upcoming WSOP season.
If this is just elementary, then I'm screwed.
It's the very best I've heard strategy on playing JJ posted in this video. Thanks Dan!
Thank you - thank you - thank you‼️. This is what I have been looking for. Mindset info to help table presence and discipline.
We all must take responsibility for how we act & react at the table - your “ attitude awareness “ approach is ideal.
Looking forward to to more👍
"or someone else who's smart, will explain to you"...lol
Can't wait for the WSOP VLogs!!!!!! Best Vlogs on youtube hands down. Last year was awesome. I hope it's not too much trouble for you though. Good luck too. I hope you get a bracelet or two ;D
This explains why Tom Dwan is the hardest player to play against. Just watching him play frustrates me.
Him and Ivey would scare me the most
Ivey is the silent assassin. It must be scary to play against him.
He's probably the best I've seen
Yes because he doesn't use ranges, odds and percentages. He just gambles
@@greer8288 he’s a mixture of both that’s why he’s so unpredictable
Out of poker since 2004 here. This topic is a good one for me to begin working on. Thanks Daniel for a great intro to new methods.
This is fascinating, Daniel. You are describing poker “rules” or “ranges” just as I learned to play bridge. There is an expected response I am supposed to give my partner to let them know how strong or weak my hand is. But the team we are playing knows the same rules, therefore they also know how weak or strong my hand and partners hands are. I see no advantage to “play by these rules” in poker because I then don’t have an advantage if I bet a particular way based on ranges if the other players roughly know what my hand is. This is why newer players piss Phil H. off because they don’t play “by the ranges”. In my never to be humbled opinion. Great stuff, Daniel. I loved watching you against so many others, especially Phil H. I would love to read your response to my comparison to bridge.
Great Vid will keep watching and rewatching as I learn from your channel. Thanks
Bro, I was playing lossey goosey eating a sandwich and lost! His spiting bars
Daniel! The OG from Toronto!!!!
Teo G Poker he’s Canadian?? That’s depressing.
Cris Davis he's Romanian but moved to Toronto when he was young. Inspiration to all.
Teo G Poker Romanian? That’s even more depressing..
pretty sure he's born in toronto lol
oTenZ Very depressing!
Very very helpful. You explain things on a level that is understandable. Really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Thanks
I used to think I understood poker, now I know I have to start all over again. Thank you for this.
Can you do a video about poker tells and betting patterns plz??
look up mike caro
Nice job I though it was alot of what I do playing now as well in early 2000 .... But you still have the alot of bad lucky players. That never go by this. I stay relaxed till there luck runs out.
really great Video Daniel 😍😍💪🏼 Amazing graphics 🤘🏼😍
The guy who got me into poker. Just started watching some of the world series plays and you are truly the most fun to watch play. I hope to see more in the future and to watch and learn from your vids!
Love the videos. Some move a little quick for dumb old me BUT I do have the advantage of the pause feature to stop it and allow a strategy to sink in a little before moving on. You are the one guy I will always stop whatever I’m doing to watch you play. You’re incredibly entertaining to watch with all your chatter.
great content Daniel thanks for sharing! cant wait for more around this topic as well as the Daily WSOP VLOGS i wached ALL the previous ones last year every morning!! Thanks keep it up :)
This video is from back when life was simple and Dnegs never asked anyone to step to him
great work daniel.. are you going to do a combos video? i get the concept of combos and i do think about it when i play, but how the number of combos effects my decisions is where i need to work on. thanks and keep it up!
thank you, this video touches on a perspective not addressed by most instructors you make advanced concepts appear simple even though its taken you years to harness your skills you share them in such direct to the point manner that even a novice like my self can grasp the concept so again thank you
Nice video Daniel. I've really enjoyed watching you play poker since the early 2000s. Your ability to read people is incredible!
Thank you for the upload monsieur
Daniel, is more range better? =)
Damn misread that title, thought it was "Poker Rake Explained." Can't find such information here, now can we!
I just like hearing Daniel talk. He's so knowledgeable.
I just started playing poker, I’m 25 and absolutely love it. I play for little money as I’m not trying to make this my career but it’s still fun to win so I’m trying to learn as much as possible.
Lol when I glanced at the video title I thought it said "Power Rangers Exposed"
Old school poker was way more fun than nowadays
Why ?
@@rabitozoctuikalon943 because you could win so much more
You mean when players weren't such thinkers. Lol
Fun yes , competitive, no.. now a days some casual $100 tournament players are really good . Even 1-3 players. And for me , competition is Fun
Instructions unclear. Am now homeless.
😂
DANIEL I HAVE WATCHED YOU FOR YEARS YOU ARE THE BEST ALL AROUND
Nicely explained intro. My heyday was 01-08, just getting back into poker again now. Gto and solvers are a big leap forward for profitable players.
Think I'm going to use this process to figure out what my wife is thinking, and why I'm always in trouble with her... and that's maybe winning an argument once in awhile
I think you'll have more chance of winning the WSOP!
Stick to the facts, when women are right they stick to facts, when they are wrong they go off subject try and distract you
@@donsolos nailed it. They turn to emotional outbursts when theyve been had.
4:00 Hanson went all in with Jacks and the guy with A-K CALLED? With nothing?
AK is the bane of amateurs lol
Lmao
So to make my range hidden, I should focus on giving away as little information as possible.
To protect your range, fold everything.
This never gets old. This calculations in this entire video are computed in your brain and executed in mere seconds of real time. Awesome! It also definitely comes with practice. I dream of being a pro but know my shortcomings, not ready until I win a live tournament. Online small buy in games don't necessarily count in my bool. You need some brass in the cajones to lay down or bet big numbers.
That was a Master Class. I feel like I was actually able to follow him. It can be complicated but he did a great job of touching on all the relevant points. If you were paying attention, you got enough information to go further in your learning.
Thought Range meant the 6 gun on your hip. ;)
i read this as, "Power Rangers Explained"
Jesus, are you recording in an auditorium?
Nah its just his massive fucking house.
Table mic is a prop; he's using the camera mic, so it picks up the whole room. Noob mistake... :)
Bob Jones 😂
Cap10VDO Or he just has the mic turned up and it's also picking up the room
Everyone told me I had to study GTO before I go back to NL, come to find out I was doing this back in the day already, but you’re still a great talker buddy 😎
Crazy how informative this is, and it’s free. Amazing content, thank you!
Mic is wayyyy too amplified.
Yeah it's clipping slightly.
Even a bigger problem is that room he's recording in, big, open, no sound absorption (softener). The information is GREAT though. Thank you for adding to the arsenal @Daniel
Red = Bad.
Also why the slight reverb lol
@@ColeCoonce Better dead than red ;)
" describe the hand in a very elementary way for the most part, so that you will understand it".....
in other words...
you all jus' aint dat bright....
turn gain to 15% pls i see the bar on the top f that yeti, your next to it its overblown.
This was WONDERFUL, and absolutely presented in a way that I "a poker fan / newer player,online " could digest. Thank you so much, really it's perfect.
So what Daniel is talking about, playing more sophisticated at a high level, I learned watching Esfandiari while he was commentating a live game. He was always talking about telling a story. Really resonated with me.
You need to understand that everything you do at the poker table conveys information
