Just started watching your videos. Have to say these are some of the best free content ive seen. A lot easier to comprehend the points your trying to make.
Why are we adding hands (As5s-As3s, KQs, KsJs, QsJs) into a range on the river? If we are adding those hands, why not add As2s? Shouldn't the range get narrower as the hand plays out?
I only play tournies but seriously considering cash games now, tournaments are so wide with people's ranges.. get this... Early stages of a tournament, blinds 600-1200 I look down at QQ and raise to 3.4k.. some woman calls, nice flop 395 I bet 7k, she calls.. turn J I bet 11k she jams, I call and she flips over J5 :/ like who calls with J5o to a raise like that and then calls flop with middle pair to a bet like that lol.. seriously stick to cash unless you can avoid those spots.. tournies are wideeeeee
I enjoy your commentary. I have one question. I saw an interview you did in 2015 with poker news explaining the differences between small vs big buyin tournaments. You stated how you will normally by-pass the smaller buy-ins i.e. $1500. How did you get to this point in your career where $1500 buy-ins isn't big enough for you. examples (your were a rich kid already, you won the lottery, you won a small poker tournament with a large payout, etc) please any insight will be greatly appreciated.
It seems like this would let your oponent know how much to value bet. And then when bluffing make it large enough so you can't call this bet amount over time. I like the strategy, but there are some nit oponents who hardly if ever bluff and then you have those who bet bluff whenever they miss a draw.
why does it say there are 6 combos of aces at 6:31 if we hold the Ad? wouldnt there only be 3 combos? also, wouldn't there only be 1 combo of pocket tens left? Wouldn't we beat 6 bluffs but only lose to 25 combos of value hands? isnt this closer to 1/4 not 1/5 or am I missing something?
@@Marc_berrrry-oh i do like you. What ever you won or lose, keep record your hands and opp hands and stakes. I release i can't keep pocus on game over 3hs and i just leave table when i losing after 3hours played or move the table.
Its funny when I see guys saying "oh in this position he could have this or that combo of cards" while in reality he could have any 2 cards, you just don't know and you are guessing but instead of guessing the exact 2 cards you are guessing a range....
No, it's even banned on pokerstars but no they would be totally impractical to use to help in a hand. I have seen people pull one up after a hand to illustrate a point about their range advantage (they input their own range roughly, and villain's range, and showed that they had a range advantage or disadvantage, can't remember which) - that was before they were banned and was clearly not the type of use that you are thinking of.
Hand reading is a crucial skill in both cash games and tournaments. If you improve your ability to understand equities vs. ranges (which PokerCruncher does), you'll be a better overall player.
I did. And I think it’s more limited on the Iphone. And probably more difficult to use as well. But I don’t have a mac or Ipad, so I guess I will have to try to get the most of the pokercruncher app on my phone. By the way, I want to thank you for replying to me. I am your fan, and I really appreciate everything you teach us!
Two things I dislike about Alec ... 1. He dont really play poker with the winners. 2. He makes most of his money selling "how to " or " win big" strategies to suckers. Never plays live poker and cant replicate or consistently win.
Silly. A solver where you have to put in your opponent's range? The range should be the GTO range. It's not possible to know opponent's range, this is useless.
Can the opponent hand range that we enter into the calc be determined just through preflop action for that particular position? For example lets say I open 2.3bb from UTG+1 and LJ calls which leads to heads up on the flop? can we simply enter the LJ preflop calling range into the calculator to get our odds for each further street?
So my pot odds calculator says a pot sized bet is 50% equity. You say 33%. So I count my own bet in the equity? 10+10+10 to win 30 or is it 10 to win 20? So confusing...
Hey man, here's how I think of it. If the pot is $100 and the bet is $100 you're calling $100 to win $200. Therefore you're getting 2:1 so you need 33% equity to break even. Hope that helps!

I would tend towards discounting TT+ if there wasn't a raise/3-bet preflop

Is it best to study one subject a week or multiple a week?
Every day lol
Alec make another video on how 1/2 nl live cash games fund your tournament buy ins. My BR was depleted because i only played tourneys
Play more cash games :)

A lot, lot, lot of grinding and saving.
PC is far superior to Mac buddy, lol.
Depends on the use. Gaming? PC stomps 10/10. Music creation? PC sucks any MAC’s dick 9/10
I ran the same board and hole cards in a equity caculater and doesn't come up 29-30 percent ....
How do you put someone on a range when the pot is multi way and the game is loose passive?
Watch your opponents learn them and pick your moments all this study does is help guide our intuition
What’s best way to understand plo equites you mentioned poker cruncher
Thx Alec
Nice video 👍
Thanks Carlos.
Just like GTO !!!

What other poker equity calculators do they have for pc that cost around the same
Combonator is good for pc you can highlight groups of his value hands and bluffs and then get a value to bluff ratio super easily
Thanks - that program looks pretty interesting. I've never understood why they haven't created more end-to-end software.
How do you calculate this in your Hand during a live game?
Ben Ben you don’t mate you will start to learn it off by heart as you’ve kept practising off the table.
@@MoreThanBlocks. but if i wanna calculate at the table what would be the fastest and most accurate way?
@@benben3110 after played a hand, you could use one of the many poker apps available on cellphones.
@@Marc_berrrry-oh i do like you. What ever you won or lose, keep record your hands and opp hands and stakes. I release i can't keep pocus on game over 3hs and i just leave table when i losing after 3hours played or move the table.
Thats were the skills come into play someone who can do this in a matter of seconds is a force to be reckoned with

Is an equity calculator good for a tournament, or do you only need an ICM calculator for tournaments?
Works great for both.
Do people use those equitiy calcs while playing online?
No, it's even banned on pokerstars but no they would be totally impractical to use to help in a hand. I have seen people pull one up after a hand to illustrate a point about their range advantage (they input their own range roughly, and villain's range, and showed that they had a range advantage or disadvantage, can't remember which) - that was before they were banned and was clearly not the type of use that you are thinking of.
I’m not busy
How does this transfer to tournaments

Oh, I'm not ready for this lol
Better microphone
Sweet.
man the sound.. you need to fix your sound!
It’s the cream of nuts with bread n butter
confusing because amateurs dont understand the terminology
What is the point of that caculator as you will never ever find out what your opponent has...
Marius M Ranges...
a myth.
Do you know an app like this for Iphone?
I will appreciate it!
Try PokerCruncher
I did.
And I think it’s more limited on the Iphone. And probably more difficult to use as well. But I don’t have a mac or Ipad, so I guess I will have to try to get the most of the pokercruncher app on my phone.

if you have a mac you should buy a microphone haha
i play like a meditative assassin stoned on hashish lol
Probably the most important word to bring to the poker table. Equity!
Wow.
Im lost
read all the poker books you can! you cant just get by on free knowledge, some of the best poker books ive read costed less than 10$
how much money have you made?

I lost it when he said if you have pc you should buy a mac
what good is this phone when you play against them maniac.
Well, you put in all possible poker hands and calculate equity that way 😂😂😂
I was here
These exercises are insane. Its easier to just fold lol. You dnt know what kind 9f community cards ur getting its hard to predict these things.
Half the opponents hand range would just never bet three times so it seems stupid
He said assuming the player is a good TAG player. Against different opponents you can enter different hand ranges based on your read...
PC > MAC
“If you have a PC you should buy a Mac.” Douchey comment
online or live i have good reasons to lick my teeth at a large pot! im hungry like a crazy weasel
