Also Jonathan has a great point. I can't imagine somebody complaining about getting to sit for 40 or 50 hours a week and play poker and make money. That's my dream job
I’ve watching your videos and it’s helped. However I’m on a bad run a ton bad beats, players bluffing I call and they’re hitting a %2, playing position. 5:07
This helped alot and i will be buying your program to start my poker career i love the game not just of the money but the thrill and the interaction with people💪
Life is like a ladder, there are many levels that you and others may start at but all get to climb as high as their abilities can take them. The starting level isn't the issue, its your abilities.
My problem is i build up a big stack n villain builds up a big stack. I get AA and villain gets QQ we both go all in and villain spikes a Q and I lose all my stack. It always happens. How u navigate that?
Understand that poker works because these things can happen. Players play the game because variance exists and the best preflop hand won’t always make the strongest hand postflop. Understanding the math behind common situations - all in in this case, and what the stats are for overpair vs underpair for hands like AA v QQ. Finally when playing deeper stacked, calling 4B is not a bad play and then playing smartly can work.
Hi Jonathan! Thank you for all the videos and for sharing your awesome knowledge. Any videos on how to play open-ended draws on the flop? Flush, straight and straight flush. Thank you!
Thanks for the videos... small things. Card ded and was getting tighter against tighter players the past two weeks. Listened to the video and upd myself 5 buyins online jn a 2hr 2 table session
So much value here. Going to Vegas for the first time in February specifically to play poker. Any good advice for study and improvement? Mainly played online and local casino games. Much better at tourneys than cash. Thanks!
Don't be scared just because it's Vegas. I've always found it's easier there than smaller regional poker rooms. Lots of recreational, drunks, and tourists. Play some of the bigger rooms, like the Aria, Bellagio, etc at peak times. 6pm-12am Thursday - Sunday. 1/3 NL is just as easy here as it is anywhere!
You asked what our leaks are some of my leaks are I still let tilt multiply my losses during down swings and variance, also I think I’ve improved my opening ranges but still need to consider position more.
My problem isn't losing so much, it's sizing I have a problem with. Albeit, I've only just started learning GTO mixed with exploit. My sizing on BTN or UTG are always the same, so I'm consistent, but post flop I run into "how much now?" My sessions when I do win are 10-15 bbs more than I started with.
I've been playing 1/3 once a week with a week missed here and there for the last 7 months and I play anywhere from 5 to 10 hrs a session. People don't believe me when I tell them my hrly average when I tell them. Everyone says you can At Best be a Slightly Winning Player or maybe 20 or 30$ at the very best. I know the room I play at is Incredibly Soft but it's out of state and 1.5hrs away with 9$ in tolls in between. I'm really thinking about moving closer to the room. What is the most a player can make playing 1/3 or even 2/5? The latter doesn't play that much different.
I think a lot of players just need a taste of success. Once you start crushing the game you will love playing! If it feels like a chore, you probably need to study more.
I would love to play full time live game, I can only play 1/2 cash game, should I quit my job and use the 10.000€ of savings as BANKROLL ? How can I know ? If I play once a week how will I never know ? Thanks ❤
Need some opinion here, playing cash game with 50 BB and up to around 300 BB, could go to 500 BB had my trip king with better kicker didn’t chop but at the end of the session, I lost 75 BB. Now is this possible just bad luck or there must be something that I do wrong? I end up losing 2 big pot, and 3 medium pot
I may have it wrong? But in your example of 10$ against a player with 3,2 all in LAG guy. You calculated the winner gets only $27,160, not the $127,160 after 10,000 hands. My thoughts are that if he started with only $10 then you would only subtract $10 leaving him with actually $127,150. Please explain why that would be the way you indicated. Thanks.
im new to poker. When people say they make 7BB per 100. is that per 100 hands? or per 100 rotations? I’ve been watching a lot of courses and studying charts and all of that but I think right now a big thing Im struggling with is that i have no frame of reference for what a winning game looks or feels like. Like is it like card counting where you basically have a coin that lands heads 51% of the time. ie your win/loss feels random in the moment? and if that’s true. should I expect to leave a session with double my stack 50% of the time, busting 40% of the time and ending basically even 10% of the time. Or should i expect to end my session 10-20% up 75% of the time. Doubled 15% of the time and busted 10% of the time? I understand there is no 1 answer to this but personally I feel like the single thing that’d help me the most to conceptualize GTO strategy into a way I can use it practically is to have a conceptual frame of reference for what winning poker looks like. Hopefully my question makes sense.
Hey Johnathon! Love your videos, they have helped a ton! I would be eternally grateful if you could go through the proper thought process pre flop, flop, turn, and river ie. what are all the things you take note of eg. stack sizes, what are the value / bluff hands opp has, bet sizing etc
Thank you for the free few days of premium content, after taking 2 courses twice to make sure I retained the information, I won my first satellite ($11 buy in) into a ($109 buy in) $150K tournament prize pool 🙌🏽- Will be subscribing to premium content soon!
@@PokerCoaching Update: I held 1st -5th place for over an hour unfortunately 2 back to back hands on the river card took most of my stack away, being low stack on table went all in preflop with jacks but was knocked out by pocket AA’s… Still I placed 123 out of 1620 players turned $11 into $305, and will keep growing my bankroll from that🙌🏽
I hate it when complete maniacs show up that straddle to 4bb or 8bb preflop and end up winning or losing a whole stack every 2nd or 3rd hand - sure there are ways to adjust to make money against that kind of play but the variance inherent to this is extreme and harder to deal with emotionally.
Maniacs are pretty easy to exploit. Tighten up your range and bet bigger when you have the range advantange. Nothing better than getting it all in preflop with QQ vs a maniac!
Why not include preflop charts for 150-200bb stacks??? No one is playing cash games with 20-60bb so those charts are useless lmao any good player is just going to top off at least 100bb more if their stack is down to 20-60bb
Man I've lost 25k and 35k but I've won that also so let me tell y'all this... This is definitely not for the faint of heart so dive in this shall be a rollercoaster ride you will cry and you will rejoice just get ready let's go💯💯💯💯
People, do not be jealous of people who are sitting at higher stakes that you deem to be fish or worse than you. Remember, they may not be very good at poker but they got very good at something else that bankrolls their poker. Whereas you, presumably have not developed a valuable skill enough to achieve the high paying salary you desire to support you. No one sits at the high stakes that haven't damn well earned it.
How are you usually losing money? Outdraws or OMC slowplaying AA between limpers and I can't put him on the hand. What do your opponents do that gives you trouble? Straddling lowering the SPR, limping AA after limpers then calling my raise with others left to act, Trick trappy in spots they shouldn't be and I walk into it with their XC, XC, XC. What are the big winners doing that you are not? I am the big winner lol. You must study and adjust! I tell other wannabe players all the time that I am friendly with, they don't listen. They watch some videos, some blogs of players, don't read books, don't use solvers, don't even use Flopzilla, don't come up with new strategies, don't educate about tells, don't understand about table dynamics and being friendly to the recs. All good for me. But the largest issue is the tricky trappy OMCs. Like....... UTG super loose Limps, OMC MP Limp AA, I raise KQs from the BUT (I see SB indicating fold), UTG, MP calls. FLOP Qs2s2c - X, X, B, F, (OMC) C TURN Kc - X, B, (discomfort) C RIVER 3d - (rolling eyes discomfort) X, I B large, C ........ my head explodes quietly It isn't the frequency of occurrence it is the pot size. Usually all the pots are large because how can you even imagine someone limps AA between limpers then doesn't back raise. Now if my table has several guys like this it becomes a problem of frequency as well.
I love how matter-of-fact you are. Pay attention. Study. Get better. I love it.
a lot of your videos are really dense but this one was easy to understand and super helpful for a super intermediate player.
Glad it helped!

Fantastic video :) I love how Jonathan tells it how it is! So much of this game is about mindset and dedication.
My problem is i build up a big stack n villain builds up a big stack. I get AA and villain gets QQ we both go all in and villain spikes a Q and I lose all my stack. It always happens. How u navigate that?
When I play micro-stakes online, once I’ve got 4 times the buy in amount, I reopen a new window…. And start my stacks from scratch.

If you don’t mind when your opponents call you with garbage then why raise with premium hands pre flop?

there are man casinos where u can not reload till all ur stack is gone, meaning u have to play sometimes with less than 100 bb
@@leekwitscher7073 yes but people double up pretty easily.
...we have charts for 150 and 200bbs in the PokerCoaching app.
That's just not true. Very common in my casino: buy in for 100BB, drift down to 80BB. Then someone straddles, and you have (effectively) 40BB.
Shortstackers exist. So please include 50 bb cash charts.
Are they close to 40bb mtt charts?

So true, poker players on Twitter seem to be the most altruistic cxxts, and it was awesome to see them go broke when Bitcoin crashed lol
I like Jonathan's lessons and teaching but man that guy talks like machine gun bursts. I've had to slow his videos down. 😂
Pew pew!
First
How are you usually losing money? Outdraws or OMC slowplaying AA between limpers and I can't put him on the hand.
What do your opponents do that gives you trouble? Straddling lowering the SPR, limping AA after limpers then calling my raise with others left to act, Trick trappy in spots they shouldn't be and I walk into it with their XC, XC, XC.
What are the big winners doing that you are not? I am the big winner lol.
You must study and adjust! I tell other wannabe players all the time that I am friendly with, they don't listen. They watch some videos, some blogs of players, don't read books, don't use solvers, don't even use Flopzilla, don't come up with new strategies, don't educate about tells, don't understand about table dynamics and being friendly to the recs. All good for me.
But the largest issue is the tricky trappy OMCs. Like....... UTG super loose Limps, OMC MP Limp AA, I raise KQs from the BUT (I see SB indicating fold), UTG, MP calls.
FLOP Qs2s2c - X, X, B, F, (OMC) C
TURN Kc - X, B, (discomfort) C
RIVER 3d - (rolling eyes discomfort) X, I B large, C ........ my head explodes quietly
It isn't the frequency of occurrence it is the pot size. Usually all the pots are large because how can you even imagine someone limps AA between limpers then doesn't back raise.
Now if my table has several guys like this it becomes a problem of frequency as well.
Thank you
