Have you seen a poker fish do this before? Also, here is my brutally honest advice for new players to stop losing: ua-cam.com/video/8ZYn-AUIZgY/v-deo.html
Was in a tournament in AC once. Guy two seats to my left would flat call every hand preflop, then go gonzo once the flop came down. It was an easy read, because he was going full any-two, in every hand. So I get dealt KhJh in the big blind. It gets called around, I check. Flop comes down Qh10h7s. I check, and Gonzo bets into me for about a third of my stack. Everyone else folds, I call, it's heads up, and the turn was a 2c. I check. Gonzo goes after half my stack, I make the crying call. River comes down...Ace of Hearts. I'd just rivered a royal. I check, and Gonzo asks, "How much you got?" Music to my ears. I said "count it" as flatly as I could. Gonzo got the count, and proceeded to overbet it. Normally, you have to raise when you've got the nuts and you're last to act, but I couldn't, since I was being overbet. So I'm like, "Fine, I call and you lose." It was junk, as we all suspected. I turned over my royal and took a bow.
Nathan, at the micro stakes are you just basic range reading? Or do you think more in depth with it? Like thinking about their bluffs/value bets etc? Or are we more just playing our hands and reading theirs very basic? Side note - I’ve found personally when I use the most basic range reading at micros I win, a lot
I use to not really get poker until i stumbled across a video explaining betting high value cards and I swear it just all clicked watching the players move , what value they’re representing, what value I have/ represent and player type all alllow you to influence odds in your favor after that you just gotta know when too hold em and when too fold em 🎶
For players playing the lowest stakes in California with a drop system, is a button open still a weak hand? Are players opening button $15 to really try to steal $2 after the drop?
It's a rookie mistake to "target" fish and try to get in the pots with them anyway. Preflop you should just stick to basic strategy and the fish will catch themselves. If you start playing wider to target limpers you just lose to the other regs.
Well, against the over aggressive bluffy players, we want to have a polarized raising range, with our strongest and weakest playable hands. We're obviously 3 betting with AA, KK, QQ, maybe JJ, depending on position of bluffy player, plus AK and maybe AQS. That gives us around 64 combos of value 3 betting hands. We're gonna need some bluffs here, or even Mr. hyper-agro will just fold. We want him 4 betting with AJ and TT. Then we have some easy folds with our bluff hands and make easy money getting it in dominating the crap out of his range with our value. Great bluff hands are A5 and A4S. That's 8 combos of bluffs and we block his AA. Same with some KingX suited hands, we're blocking his KK. I'll also 3 bet some trashy suited connectors and gappers against this player. Bottom line, you do need to fight fire with fire from the top and bottom of your range, and play pot control with good show down hands and bluff catchers.
Also today a won a knockout tournament and somone thanked me then I realized I was best at the table and he rode my coat tail to place 2nd 😂 I use to be the fish 3 days ago 😂

should we c-bet Out-Of-Position with our strong hands, or only c-bet when In Position?

Remember, on the river, if all you have are pocket aces then that is all they are. Pocket Aces.
so... everyone i play with. inluding me
Can you give a general estimate of how often I should bluff preflop on the button?
he doesn’t know he’s terrible
Great advice for all ranks of players.
Great video! Super informative. 👍🏼

8. Player goes on a "rampage."
I like the way you assume nothing of your viewers by quickly defining terms as you go. You're doing good work BR79P.
Bro put a wheel draw on the flop and talked about the kicker 😂
What are the odds of making that inside straight though?
This video was super helpful, thank you!

My Non-Showdown line is the way in the black, and my Showdown is the way in the red. Haha I guess I need to wait for your next video!
I never associated 'the rock' as a 'nit' - I always thought they were TAG if the table was loose, and LAG if the table was tight!

No suited connectors up to Jack 10 suited, now that's really tight +your opponent should never know bout that if you play somewhat regularly somewhere

Dude I swear I take all your tips and it just comes naturally to me I’ve lost maybe 10 out of 150 hands

These advanced videos are much better

I tried to order your Free Cheat Sheet twice last week and no emails from you much less the cheat sheet. What's up Nathan?
What about a K with a K kicker?
Nice 😂
