To play tighter pre-flop in PLO - I've played avg. 50 % VPIP in 6max and I'm a consistent winner and i hate it....that I haven't had the discipline to tighten up pre-flop jet - but now it's time
Playing more so variance doesn't kill me so much! Number one thing you've taught me. Use Less Emotions! Its math. Being emotional is exhausting. Don't fall in love with your QQ when the tightest person at the table 5bets over you and 3 other players when he hasn't played a pot in hrs. He Has AA. If you can see past these moments, it takes less energy allowing you to play longer days or more frequently. The human mind takes things to harshly sometimes. Learn to let go. The people that can will succeed.
The comment about playing nights and weekends was probably the best poker advice I was ever given. I was going to play at noon today but spent the day studying poker and heading out now to start playing around 7:30 pm. So grateful I watched this video🙏
This used to be the #1 advice. It's not as strict anymore on ggpoker as it's night virtually everywhere and they've very recreation focused.That said, saturday and friday night are still the big cash cows.
I used to play for a living, but the life wasn't for me. Now I work full time and only play on the weekends. I've built up a decent roll many times by simply putting aside a buy-in every week, battling the weekend warriors. When playing, always keep your poker money separate from your life money. Only 'cash out' if you want to take a break for a bit. I've never considered myself an incredible player, but I've been able to maintain a 10bb+/hr winrate for over a decade through proper BM, keeping up with current strategies and avoiding tilt.
Bb/hr doesn't mean anything Bro we don't know how Mass multitabler you where. I play on 6 tables and I play something like 450 hands per hour, but you Need to speak in bb/100 to avoid n.tables mistakes. Btw 10bb/hr in 6tables should be like 2bb/100 While 10bb/hr in a single table should be something like 13bb/100. That's why we don't use bb/hr, because that doesn't mean literally anything
@@fullor9395 I only play live poker, so just one table. And the game is turbo, with 10 seconds to act on all streets, so we get in anywhere between 20-25 hands an hour. I think that works out to about 30-40bb/100.
@@ekiaho That's right. I only play live now. bb/100 is estimated to be 30-45 depending on how slow or fast the game is. I play turbo tables now, so we get through a good number of hands every hour.
Wow. Are you joking? Start with you are sitting with a bunch of old men that pretend like they don’t care. A table of kids with dumb haircuts much better sir…
Jonathan, love your content. Your comments on PLO are very much misguided, with all do respect. It's an excellent format for all types of players to learn. The games are great. Edges are always low against competent players in poker. Are there big edges in 10k buy-in tournaments? With the exception of the occasional rec, of course not. PLO is a slow game? I'm only one person, but that hasn't been my experience. There are enormous edges to be had in games up to 10-10. Once you get up to 25-25, then like in all forms of poker, the games get tougher but are still very much beatable.
Alright, so in order to play 100/200, with 40-50 buy ins, and assuming you buy in for 100 BB that's 20k buy in once. x50 buy ins is 1 million dollars. I only need a million dollars in my poker bankroll to play 100/200! Awesome.
J Little, I just had 2 big cashes (big for me) in 1 month. Got 2nd out of 6700 in the $11 mystery bounty on pokerstars for $3800 and won a $27 bounty tournament for $1300, I withdrew €2500, yes euros, and now I emptied the rest of my bankroll on too expensive tournaments 😭😂
Pretty sure I know who Mr Little is referring to in that great $25/50 Pennsylvania cash game! Guy was a "dealer" with lots of expendable extra cash to burn! Think was $4000 min buy in game at the the Meadows for a time
I've profited like 800 dollars playing 5 handed 20 dollar buy in private games and I live so far from a casino. I wanna know if I'm good or if my friends are just trash.
The answer is your sample size is probably drastically too small to know if you're actually good or your friends are trash. I can always beat my game with friends but when I go to the casino I have a much more realistic win rate.
apparently anyone who decides to declare it, there is no union, so if you want to be a Pro just stand up and delare it" your not going to win any money but at least you'll be a Pro!
The microstakes games on global are full of mid/high stakes players with sharkscope ability level 62-80+ I suppose its a cheap way to practice against high skill players.
@@brucedawson6586just play on global and search the strongest players on sharkscope and you’ll see their stats for yourself.

@@CardsAreFun711Jonathan little himself said online cash/SnG are insanely difficult because the players are really good and the win rates are too small to justify battling the regs while getting wrecked by the rake. But whatever man believe what you want have a nice day.
The current stat of poker makes this almost impossible, rake online has destroyed poker and the cardrooms and casinos have been following. MTTs might be the only form of poker that isnt destroyed by rake, but bounty mtts have changed the skill gap as well. I wouldnt learn to play poker for a living now. Learn to trade
Its very possible, it just need hard work just like anything else that is done professionally. It takes a lot of effort, and probably the hardest part is, if someone wouldnt love the game its impossible to play eventually. Every time you meet a downer period, only consistency , good mindset and love for the game will help prevail, if not that ... its easy to just stop. Rake in cash micros is high, but with proper play there also can get pretty high winrates, because people just overall have no idea what they are doing. But its still hard , its hard because even then it takes a lot , ton of time’, to build it all and prevail.
Yes you can to a point if you know what you are trying to improve. Just like if you are playing basketball against toddlers you can still improve your ball handling and shooting. You can not become the best by playing only against people worse than you.
Thumbnail looks too good to be true. If you study anything really hard for many years you most likely will be successful but in poker like in businesses only ten percent will survive and 5 percent will make money. It requires LUCK, believe me more people have skills than you. So be careful how much you invest. Think of it as a pyramid you can take less skilled people's money as you go up the ladder.

I always get a kick out of the CD story when it comes up. This time we get a little more info... they were ALL the Eminem CDs.
What's funny is when this was happening Eminem had no more than 2 or 3 albums. So all his bankroll went to max 3 CDs 😆
Starting out again after a long break back to basics for me 😊
Global Poker free rolls are great to get a bankroll going...
Thank you Johnathan! 😀👍💰

Your only options are ACR, Bovada/ignition, and global. Of those Jon recommends Global 1st , bovada, and then Americas cardroom. In that order.

So Jonathan, in your opinion, what's the (ballpark) acceptable minimum # of hands per week for a live-only player? Either part-time or full-time.
What makes someone a pro ?
That they do it for living and are able to sustain themselves purely by it.

Can you actually become better at poker while only playing with people playing "worse" than you ?
Not really
Yes you can to a point if you know what you are trying to improve. Just like if you are playing basketball against toddlers you can still improve your ball handling and shooting.
You can not become the best by playing only against people worse than you.
This is about increasing bankroll mainly so you are focusing on playing worse players to make money more than improving yourself
Poker is very fun and exciting game, but if you want to play eight plus hours a day it's boring as fuck and it turns into work.
