This was much the same lesson as you did with how to play AK. I used the same thinking on these questions. It is not just AK, it is a mindset and recognizing where a raise is way better than a call.
Example 4. Jonathan what you think about donk 200 check and waiting for your oponent agresion ? He can think oh he tried win easy pot then he chceck and now i must hit becouse i have nothing !!
I really enjoy all of the coaches but Alex is probably my favorite. He is a teacher . Easy to listen to and I can tell he really enjoys teaching which makes learning easy and so much fun. Thanks
In example number 2, that goes along with what Jonathan has said about check raise bluffs not being that common in lower stakes. The call on the flop is telling, gives us a good reason to do that overbet. Thanks for letting me think about overbets more because I don't really have them in my game except trying to get worse hands to call me on the river :( which usually just ends up scaring them off.
I LOVE the overbet. In loose passive games, it's sometimes to only way to generate any fold equity. That said, it's not easy to know when it's appropriate. You can value own yourself pretty badly if you aren't smart about it.
Interesting video! I paused on the turn of example 2. Our overbet on the turn assumes that villain's check-call range on the flop is way too weak, and it kinda doesn't make that much sense (in my humble opinion) because if we had a flopped overpair or some kind of queen or some thick value hand like a straight or a set, then we wouldn't want him to consider folding a 7, and if we had an OP or a Q then we would have to call off a turn check-raise which would feel pretty dicy... interesting play though and probably good if you say it is
20:17 I found the x/r after considering his cbet frequency. He should be cbetting this flop close to %100. If he folds any hand that's not an ace or pair, we can exploit it by x/r every time. As a response, he needs to be defending against an x/r with a range wider than Ax or pair. If he's forced to defend more widely, were getting a lot of value with AQo. Further, if he does have an Ace, we can likely get more value on later streets.
In the last example, trick 5 - with a board of Ah 2h 3d - wouldn’t you frequently bet small on the flop due to having a slight range advantage but no real nut advantage?
Betting small, gives draws a better price or if he has a 2 or 3 and hits it on the turn, probably wouldn't happen with the big bet. Yes he can have A2, A3, 22 and 33s but I play tournaments all day and small bets, like everyone is doing small bets, small bets on the turn. Low stakes we want to exploit and should not worry about balance and nut advantage. The more skilled the opponent than yeah maybe think like that but I use his 150 percent turn bet alot and it does work like 75 to 80 percent. Trust me, Alex is one of the best coaches out there. If I need a hand to be reviewed he always will get back to me. Try it and see. Hope this helps, keep grinding
For hand 2, you capped your opponent's range based on timing tells. These are less reliable online, when multi-tablers never think too long about a play, and someone who seems to be tanking could just be multi-tasking. Could we still cap our opponents' range here. Also, if we are going to do this as a bluff, what value hands would we balance it with?
for the 3rd hand, instead of leading out on the river, why not just XR on the turn? following your logic, V betting so small so that he can have a free show down on the river, then why don't we just raise the turn?

Which is YOUR favorite postflop trick from this video? 😀
The first one. Such an interesting idea I’d never had considered. Thanks for the good content Jonathan Little!
Check, raise, fold to three bet.

I talk to him through emails, super nice and helpful. Alex we were both right about Tank. Ty for helping me
I took a private lesson recently with him. Great teacher and really interesting guy. 👍
@@ElJefe0719 hes the best. Loves boxing, like me it's hard to find boxing lovers lol
Man when Alex gives a webinar “I listen”. He is outstanding. Thanks so much Alex, your the best!

In the 3rd one where he leads river, wouldn’t raising the turn be better? Or would that just scare him away too much
question. In explme #2, what if villan has two over cards like J Q or 10 Q and hit the Q on turn??
Good job 👍👍 thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
awesome pratical strategy thought

Why isn't hand 3 an example of Postflop Trick #1 (i.e., why not raise the turn) ?
For hand 2, you capped your opponent's range based on timing tells. These are less reliable online, when multi-tablers never think too long about a play, and someone who seems to be tanking could just be multi-tasking. Could we still cap our opponents' range here. Also, if we are going to do this as a bluff, what value hands would we balance it with?
Why didnt we raise the turn on number^#3
This is great
What if flop was same but hearts instead of Diamond do you still check?
Sorry the A10 off hand
for the 3rd hand, instead of leading out on the river, why not just XR on the turn? following your logic, V betting so small so that he can have a free show down on the river, then why don't we just raise the turn?
Do these apply to online micro stakes like NL2 & NL5?
😀
Patience. Endurance. Instinct.
After weeding out any field, poker is STILL a coin flip.
Leading for value, i feel like i cost myself a few bucks every session.
You'd lose so much money doing this on low stakes
The only thing that makes sense in this video is that it doesn't make any sense.
Example 4 with the check raise. As a low stakes player I think that’s a fold for the villian most of the time assuming you have the trip 2’s.
