![3 HACKS To BUILD A BIG Stack! [Poker Tournament Strategy]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vy06LLOOGkY/mqdefault.jpg)
All I wanted for Valentine’s Day is a nice poker session 😬. I ‘had’ poker before meeting my husband so he knew what it meant to me. But took a long break to have 4kids over 10 years and just got back into the game last March. First it started as 1 or 2 nights a week after kids were in bed. From 8pm to midnight. Then I realizes I needed more practice and became 3 or 4 nights a week from 8 pm - 2/3 am. I would play every day if I could, but trying to balance has been tough. Appreciate being able to take time to study as a PCP member ❤
Awesome that you put the kids first. Good luck out there at the tables 💯
Don’t worry about not getting to play 24/7. People enjoy things less the more they do something. I can attest to that with poker. Spent 6 months playing full time and can say it’s a lot more fun (and even profitable) to just play busy weekday nights and weekends.
All I want is for my casino to open again! They shut down at the beginning of Covid, and when they could open again, they decided to do a $100 million renovation project, so the poker room is still closed down! Won't be open until later this spring, apparently 🙁
Hopefully I can be in that position in the years ahead. Good luck to you.
@@johnnyboychess so true. i always try to become obsessed with something so i can be the best at it. i always get very good at it if i get to that point. but i always end up getting dead sick of it. i call it "burnout" and im the king of "burnout"
Man I've been on the biggest break of my life and what'd weird is after getting past that first month the years go by. As a former everyday online poker player I would grind 50 hours a week average and just not win. It was honestly destroying my life. It also put me with toxic ppl and I met the worst person ever when I moved here. After be honest with myself it was a sad day when I knew I couldn't make even a part time income off poker and had to take a gigantic break. Haven't played since, met a beautiful wife, work as a poker dealer go figure, but my life is so much better and I listen to Jonathan little all the time. Thank you so much dude . This is therapy to me lol
This is an excellent video. Watching this while playing .25/.50, 3-betting when out of position has made me more money. Sticking to the preflop range has made me more money. RFI tip has made me more solid at the table, and getting paid whenever I hit! Thank you for all these tips JL.
JL, you have made me love poker again.
Everyone should watch this video 2 or 3 times. This is my second time and I got even more value out of it. Great advice Jonathan!
True for a lot of his videos! I have to rewatch alot! ❤
Do you need help getting dressed in the morning?
@@Mark-jb1fj huh?
Hey jonathan! I was in a bit of a rut with online cash games and this video just helped me recoup all my losses in 2 days. It took 1 day to refine this new way of playing, and the 2nd day to actually start winning again.
If I go positive i'll be buying a premium subscription from your site for a year with my winnings, solely because of the tips you gave me in this (and other) videos.
Much appreciated man ❤ you're a saint.
Did u buy?
@@suhwateezea.214 He definitely lost his whole bankroll
@@dropdhammer6749 lol ur right 99% of the time there
This is one of the best videos u put out for average player!!! Great content!!!!
Thanks for all the great content Jonathan i learn more and more every day watching your videos
It is great to get perspective from someone so good. Thanks for the video!
I play 1/2 or 2/5 every weekend at my local casino and can tell you I can count on one hand the number of times people 1) 4-bet anything other than AA or KK preflop or 2) bluff shoved the river. You will absolutely make more $$ over folding rather than trying to pick off the 5% or less who can make these moves. Great video!
cuz ppl who play smaller table r more likely not being super rich and afraid to lose big hands, so yeah ppl wld be betting less and play relatively tight. However if u playing in a home game with boys thats a whole different level lmao.
Yes sir!
You probably have not played small stakes poker in A long Time. I am not an expert or pro. I do play a decent amount of 1/2 2/5 in Los Angeles area you are right there is Very little 3 beat(almost none) that's because in Smaller stakes it's Usually Bet then a Raise followed By All in. No one really call's A 3 bet in Small stakes live cash games. It gets all in pre flop most of the time if there is a 3rd bet and players want to continue. There definitely NO 4 Bets at the Smaller stakes Live cash games
Great work,glad to be back
Most people who were asking questions in the chat seem to be worried about being beaten in any individual hand. What they need to realize is that if you value bet on the river 20 times and get check raised off a winner 3 times and called by a better hand 3 times and get called for 2/3 of the pot 8 times and the opponent folds 6 times, you will still be way ahead over checking. Thin value bets and not bluff-catching players who don't bluff is the difference between being a winner and a loser at 1/2.
Ur soooo right! Great comment!
Thankyou Jonathan you e changed my life I’m doing what I love feel so much freedom and confidence needed to take this leap of faith in my ability!!!
Jonathen, I rarely see 4 bets ever! I see it go from 3 bet to ALL IN! When do you 4 bet, and when do you go all in??
Hey John, love your videos, and your attitude towards Texas Holdom. Could you an audio tech to get you a set up that doesn’t sound so offputting. Your built-in microphone or wherever the audio is coming from does not sound up to par with your level of expertise.
Keep em coming!
Question on the first Hack...If we're able to open wider because we're not getting 3 bet alot, wouldn't we still raise tighter since players are calling too wide?. I would assume Our preflop open range has the EV it does because it's taking in account we have proper fold equity?
What do you do when a limper is in front of you preflop, your range must.be stronger right. You don't want to raise with k6 suited with 3 limps in front of you?
You the man Johnathan, but opening Q3 suited on the button is scary man 😮
Doyle and the gang from old days had to learn it all in real life, ad there was no books or you channel to see for tips
Hey JL, wondering how a button straddle affects pre flop rfi ranges and sizing if at all. Thanks
Are places that charge an hourly rate (Texas) considered “rake”? And does it effect my limping rate?
Yes, but it does not impact the size of the pot.
How to avail the apps you are using?? Tnx..fans here..
Muchas gracias por el ebook
So ace king should always be a 3bet against low stakes players cuz know you’re getting 4 bet by hands that generally beat you (aces/kings)…and you’re getting calls by hands you generally dominate (ak/aj/a10/kq).
This is simplified, but I’m trying to ensure my logic is right
Thank you Jonathan!
You are so fresh and entertaining keep up the great work JL
Love your videos! Unfortunately, your charts are useless because I am red/green colorblind, red/green being the vast majority of color, blind people. Is there a “colorblind mode” available on your coaching site? Thanks
Great Video!!! ***Can you please get better Quality sound??? *** all your videos have low voice volume and I need to crank up my cars volume almost full blast. Thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the same. I love your videos!! Thanks for making them.
Thank you for covering the subject of open limping. No, you don't want to do it in most games. But there are times when the game is so tight you need to open limp just to get enough equity in the pot to make your hand realize more equity post flop. And too many players just don't understand this concept.
No. You just help them avoid their huge mistake of playing too tight preflop.
@@willguggn2 not true, especially if you notice the players who are tight folding frequently to continuation bets on the flop, turn or river. Know your opponents, and you can exploit them often.
Good to see you.
What about a stop win?
Thanks again
What happens when you're playing 1/2 cash and it's normal to get 3-4 players calling a 15x BB raise? And then 10 minutes later you see a $600 pot with top pair vs middle pair?
I feel like over-raising in this type of situation is a mistake. Limp calling then shipping huge bets when I hit the flop seems to work nicely in this situation.
That exposes you to get outdrawn by the majority of the fishes you find in small stakes games.
@@giovannimorales1675 it's already going to happen though. That was literally my point.
You might as well see the flop for cheaply then bet heavily with the best hand when you hit the flop... Sometimes you get out drawn, sure, but it's easy to tell when you have.
Very nice masterclass, thanks. Is it possible to apply these rules to micro limits where players call more?
nope
Do these videos apply to the micro stakes?? Im playing at 5/10C and 12.50/25C .. I bet most of your subs are playing at these stakes
Should I focus on cash games or Tournaments?
Yes hack. Love them!!! Hope they also help against my current downswing. Sure they do :)
It seems like there are hundreds of these charts. What are there, like 9 per position? How is it possible to memorize all these charts?
All it takes is repetition.
@@PokerCoaching Is there an effective way to do that losing a bunch of money while you learn? I know I could play for free online, but that’s like playing at a table full of absolute maniacs, which I haven’t found to be very helpful in the translation to live cash games.
If you have 14bb winrate and have say 33 Buy-ins I dont understand how you can afford to take 3 Buy-In swings on losing days. thats only 11 days of a downswing. Can someone elaborate on how this is a good idea? Or are we just playing 1 Buy-In a day?
J little i dont mind putting in the hours i enjoy learning its one of my favorite things but im not good at teaching myself. Ill sign up for poker coaching premium if you will do 1on1 with me as well? (Of course paid)
We love u jon
Thanks!
If you made a bankroll tracking app, I'd use it.
So let me get this straight. A three bet is when someone raises you and you re raise. Right.
JONANTHAN HOW MANY ROYAL FLUSH'S YOU GOT IN YOUR CARRER?
I want the free ebook
YES! MY EYES FEEL BROKE LATELY
Many of the charts I see say never open limp..... what about when there are 2 or 3 or 4 Limpers b4 it gets to you, raise right? Also what about when someone raises to 15 n 2 more ppl call( total of 3) should I 3 bet still???
yes correct, still raise, i usually cut out the bottom part of my range (the weaker hands) and adjust the sizing +1bb for every limper
@Mirko Colic ok.... so if we are cutting out bottom of our range.... then we are folding or calling for 2nd part of my Question?
oh sry somehow missed that part, (assuming 15 means a standard raise and not 15bb) i would say same principle applies here, tighten your range and the more people involved the bigger the sizing (lets say my standard raise is 3x and for 3+ people 4-5x the initial raise size, e.g. 3 -> 9bb and for more people 3 -> 12-15bb) and again tighten the range. keep in mind the goal of this is to isolate opponents with your strong hands to get maximum equity, e.g. AK or AA plays terrible in multiway pots. another tip for multiway is to maybe take some of the hands you usually raise with to call. good example is KQs or J10s, those are good raising candidates but play beautifully multiway postflop as well. hope this helps a bit
@Mirko Colic Definitely does..... I do most of what u said, just trying to get some clarity. Thx
Never limp and adjust the charts to the limper. You have to adjust the charts not follow strictly
That KJ hand facing a triple barrel is classic. Calling the river there in a vacuum makes you the exact person we're trying to exploit by going 3 streets with the KQ hand earlier - people who never fold top pair. That said, I had virtually that exact same situation yesterday (except I bet he called flop, then I checked and he bet turn and river) and I'd have folded QJ on a Q high board... except when I decided to give up, I looked up at him again and he was just staring me dead in the eyes not blinking. Snapped it off when I saw that and he had a missed straight draw. So this great advice is definitely player/live tell dependent.
So dont tell my opponent what Im gonna do before I do it. I gotta write that one down.
Genuis, right?!?
What I don't understand is that Jonathon doesn't play small stakes but he is so confident giving us advice on the game. Half of what he says simply isn't true in regards to small stakes. No one ever bluffs LOL
He started at small stakes and moved up. 🙄
People bluff noob
Ppl bluff but he says it’s rare at 1/2- 2/5 I don’t get what’s so hard and it’s true. Unless you have a drunk or maniac most of the time it’s rare to see a big river bluff and you usually know when it’s someone capable if you pay attn.
Rare big river bluffs
lol no river shove bluff Alec T vs Bart H last night on hustler 5 hi busted fl draw into AK off for BH having top pair. Maybe you gave Alec the idea
He said in low stakes games. Not high stakes streamed games which people bluff more to make a highlight vid
@@Samuel88853 I guess you didn't see he lol or understand sarcasm
first hour in at 1c 2c and im up 15 bigs
I'd be very content making $20,000 to $30,000 a year playing online poker and living in the highlands of Panama or Costa Rica. Any courses on this?
Do you think triple barreling as a bluff is usually profitable in small stakes?
no small stakes players love calling
Depends on your player type and whatever draw they're chasing.
i cant count the amount of times I have been called by bottom pair in low stakes game on paired boards/1 to the straight/1 to the flush. Small stakes attracts calling stations, its also the reason you tend to bet much bigger, players will just not fold if they have anything (ofc depends on the table but this has been my experience). The amount of times I have bet 1.5x, 2x pot on the river with top pair and get called by Ace high is ridiculous as well so, so as long as you're aware and exploiting, you can make a lot of money by rarely bluffing and always piling the money in as much as possible.
What’s most profitable in small stakes is maximizing your value from your made hands. Bluffing/bluff catching can be profitable depending on the situation and knowledge of your opponent, but is definitely not essential.
No way.
Nobody is folding to a $6 raise in my 1/2 game
Thank you for showing everyone how to lose all their money to me 💔
All i know is. 2 johns make right, when it will come to my decision feom now on 😊
12:40 how can u shittalk phil hellmuth??? how many bracelets u got??? lmao
Thomas is probably going to be taller than you. He's going to be a gentle giant💪 Give him a high five for me coach
I like to keeping skipping forward and letting it play for two seconds at a time when Jonathan is getting worked up.
It’s a Poker Rant Mashup.
In the chart, you should three-bet more with pocket 10s than pocket JJs which makes absolutely no sense to me.
Might not make sense in most live games, but I think the logic is that JJs tends to flop better/ have more playability, and therefore don't require the fold equity and are more willing to take a flop.
I agree with Marshall. Also if you get 4 bet, you should be more willing to fold TT than JJ. Thus, 3- betting with TT goes up a notch.
Guess thats Why Im not a poker pro lmao
Did Thomas share his candy?
Just dont bluff a 4bet, i see people do it all the time online micro's with jack shit. Then almost every single time the next in position or +1 goes all-in 😂
At 25, I played out of town in a big game, with all of my money on the table and an angry armed girlfriend at home and I did not give a fuck. Your advice is wonderful but I am 78 and I still don't care. It's not a way to live but it's been an edge at the table.
louder please! But thanks anyway!!
When you say that players think they "must be GTO" or "must be exploitative" is a misleading statement. GTO doesn't actually exist IN GAME. GTO refers to what a computer would do facing another computer. It's only a point of reference for study purposes. In game, nobody is capable of playing GTO. Even if you are, that means that you're not adjusting to other players' tendencies and mistakes; or in other words, being exploitative.
You're a Doofus ... leave the adult conversations to adults... your comment is pointless
I used to pay to see a flop every time, and I got way more success breaking that habit.
I would rather say "dang, would have flopped a straight" then say "dang, I should have just folded, that was a waste."
The best advice for improving anyone's game is to just play as much as possible.
Experience is the best teacher, and you gotta learn you are dealt/flopped complete trash waaaaaaay more often than the best hand, and chasing gut shots rarely pays off.
They changed the words in ur god dam book man?!?!? Wtf?!!! Lol
I appreciate all the information you put in these videos. But it seems like all of your videos are over an hour. I think if you made the videos into shorter clips and more digestible you would have more reach. Because sometimes I don't have an hour to invest in a video but I would like to hear what you have to say.
So go back to it 🤷♂️ he’s giving us free content SO DONT COMPLAIN WTF!!!
you don't have an hour to invest into studying then maybe you don't wanna get good that much...
Great advice for the high rollers. Small stakes poker doesn't really work this way. You are finding yourself in a multipot 99% of the time. Wanna steal blinds? No way they let you do that. There are no charts for 4 limpers, there are charts for RFI only. You raise 10BB - you have 5 calls. You 3-bet RFI, 2 calls at least. Great if you flopped two pair, not great if you didn't flop anything and the board is too wet. The simplest way to play tiny cash is to let people see the flop, bet a pot, everyone folds, except for the callcenters and nuts. In the end it would be the same amount of money you are investing and thanks to the callcenters you'd double. But risking more money with KQs even in the position against 5 people - what's the point? These people run you over and over again and who has a bankroll for 1-2 cash gamer? Who really have 30K just for poker fun?
Only once (!) I had a great time playing 1-3 after a tournament with 6 other people who actually studied theory of poker. Best 150 bucks spent on poker, although I lost the last hand with AQ on BB against AA on SB :D
I see a lot of check raise bluffs in 1-3. But I think it’s because I’m a woman. Lol
people are getting old, they can't see the cards correctly and their brains are not as sharp as at 25.That's why they are misreading their hands. lol
I can't watch this. The guy sounds like Andrew Tate.
