I grind the low limits full time. I play against the same people all the time, and they know that when I 3 bet them preflop that I could have AK and they also know that I will c-bet it sometimes. This knowledge gets me paid the times when I actually have a premium pair. I don't 3- bet nits who hardly ever raise, and I fold it preflop when it goes bet 3-bet in front of me by those kind of players. I'll limp-jam it against people who squeeze too often out of the blinds and will stack-off with a worse ace. Some people raise with AK and give up if they wiff the flop, I call those players light to take the pot away from them when they miss. Bottom line is, knowing how your opponents play is crucial to winning at poker, and putting doubt in their minds as to how you play is as well.
This is a great comment that explains a critical way of thinking and adapting to player types beyond just gto numbers. A lot to take in for someone new, but this kind of thought process should be a goal for newer players to aim for.
@@RedRupee Thank you very much for the kind words. Lately, I have been seeing a lot of poker content where people are saying that GTO and balance are ruining your game, and they couldn't be more wrong. When you play the same people all the time, it's crucial. When I lose a big pot with AK, I like to joke with my opponents that I have AKHD - Ace King Hyperactivity Disorder, because I want it to be in their minds that I have that bluff in my repertoire. I have won thousand-dollar pots at 1-3 with Ace King high all in pre-flop. I have won many pots where I 3-bet with it, against people who open light, and then bet 1/3 the pot ( if the flop texture is 1 big card and 2 little ones, if it is 2 big cards, I bet half the pot ) on the flop and they fold. I even played a hand against Brad Owen, that made his vlog, where I 3-bet to isolate him with AKs, and rivered the nut flush and jammed all-in and he tanked forever and then called. Yes, I like AK, mastering how to play it is one of the keys to winning NLH. Another basic one is to not put people on hands, put them on ranges. I am on a bit of a downswing right now, your response makes me feel good, TY..
I was getting killed with AK for a long time but I made some changes to the way i approached the hand and started seeing better results. A lot of the changes I made to the way I play it are the points you made in this video. However, I think your advice on over betting BIG hands on the river could be detrimental at low stakes (50 NL / 100NL / 200 NL). I find any time I have a monster hand if I over bet the river I never ever get paid. This could be due to my reputation amongst the player pool but people usually do not tend to do big bet bluffing on the river at lower / mid stakes. You almost never ever see it compared to the plays at high stakes games where there actually is more of a meta-game going on. Its kind of like this, if someone had a hand strong enough to call an over bet on the river theyre probably going to be leading with it.
Getting it in pre on Sit'n'goes isn't terrible when you know players will call off with strong aces in my opinion Jonathan. Totally agree on Cash and MTTs though.
This video just popped up a day after I played a bloody pot, I had AK an opponent had AK, and other opponent had KK. Preflop was 3 bet, flop 8JJ pot was opened by me 1/4 pot, called, raised pot, I reraised min, it was reraised again min and I and the other AK player got destroyed when no Ace came out. Learned my lesson and this video at least makes me understand why I messed up.
Hi. Could you explain how to play your last example (where villain showed A4) if we do not hit the flush? What would have happened in this case? Do I have to fold to a large bet, for example?
4:50 Check back or bet 33% pot. Gotta adapt to the player, lots of opponents I play at smaller stakes will fold out draws & middle pairs too easily. 13:00 I tend towards pot sized, maybe I need to go harder. But yeah...it all makes sense, it's just hard to implement optimally. Thanks JL.
You pot control with your weaker Ax portion of your range. That's good not only for controlling the size of the pot with marginal top pairs, but this also protects your checking range. Villain therefore can't arbitrarily bluff rivers, after turn check backs. The reason you don't do that with AK/AQ combos is that you miss value vs all of villains weaker Ax combos. And those are quite plenty. You want to go for 3 streets of value with your AK/AQ on clean inacuous runouts. Obviously it's essential to realise what board texture is appropriate- you won't want to trip it off on KJ10 two tone. There pot control is the best way to go. Don't miss on your value brother. Lowstakes bread and butter.
4:50 with 3 cards all below 10 vs a big blind I would probably check vs most oponents. If I got check-raised it would be bad situation, probably I would fell forced to call.
This is interesting. GTOWizard favours shoving AKo preflop in the situation you describe (LJ vs SB 3bet 100bb cash). And in general it seems to shove AKo a lot to a 3bet preflop, and AKs sometimes too. Any idea why that would be different from the solver you're using?
Once got it in 7 times (over hundreds of cash game hands) preflop with AA or KK against one guy who always had AK. Lost my stack all 7 times. Online Poker is Rigged! Lol Made a note to look for him when he was playing. Then got it in against him 20 times with AA and KK, won all 20 pots. You think he would have noticed. It was on Full Tilt, where they used to have a freeroll for anybody redepositing that month. He was always entered into that freeroll. I used to add notes about every player who redeposited, very profitable series of notes. Some deposited every month for a couple of years!
Are you suggesting that you have access to your opponent's hole cards during active play? Because in many circles that is considered cheating. You can get disqualified from the tournament and barred from future poker events. You shouldn't know your opponent's hole cards.
You have outs (another A, another K, or any diamond) means 14 outs. So as long as you get at least ~28% implied odds, it’s a call. If they shove turn, it’s 44 more bbs to win 76 bbs, so you’re getting about 37% to call. That leads me to believe it’s a fold?
QJ can be dominated. J10 is easy to navigate post flop. If a 10 hits, you’re in pretty good shape only losing to overpairs, whereas if a Q hits on QJ, you’re still losing to overpairs and can be dominated by QQ AQ KQ. Also J10 can make the nuts in 3 different ways
Good information on how to play AK. What do you think about multi-hands with AK? When I first started watching poker, AK was always referred to an over-valued hand. Hence the "Anna Kornikova" hand, looks good, plays badly. So I always think of AK as a weaker hand than say a pair. But I like your approach, don't treat AK like AA, play it like AK.
Do people actually lose with AK? My BB/100 has off-suit (396.) below only QQ,KK and AA. Suited is lower for some reason, beaten by 88, TT, AJ, AQ at (229.) Maybe I'm shoving more with the suited.
its a coin flip vs pocket pairs & dominated against aa, & kk. Need to evaluate position/player/stack for a read on what they have and then determine if you want to flip for stacks at that point in time.
I figured it was all situation dependent. I've only been recently looking into gto so I wasn't sure if there was a hard and fast answer. I generally would just play it based on the situation.
15 person tournament, 8 people left. Blinds high. Average stack has 15 BB. Everyone folds, I'm SB AKs... Raise 2.5 x BB preflop. The BB goes all in which is around 18xBB. Still leaves me 8xBB's. Bear in mind he's all in range is super wide as he's a gambler. There is also a bounty to win from him. I but him something KQ or KJ off. Recent hand he went all in with K2s and pushed me of an A10o .... Call... Up against 22... What the ... Nothing hits and he wins. Next hand I have AJo, and again he does all in and beats me with 44. Doh...
Define deep stacked- 100bb? 200b? 500bb? Don't listen to Matt. It all depends on the environment your playing in. There are games where people 3-bet/4-bet quite liberally with wide ranges. These are the spots you want to take to pile money in the pot pre with your AK+. If your playing tough opposition with structured ranges best stick to charts and their frequencies.
I just made a mistake I’m sb with 10s lj has kings . Limps to lj he raises folds to me I re raise. Folds to lj he raises again preflop. I tank and jam he snap calls and kings hold. I should’ve just called, and tried build flop turn
That turn with the J of spades. Is that not a shove? Range betting is why you said to check back the flop. So how much of that, the BB hitting nothing or hitting one pair on the flop do we take into account for our villain? When the J hits the turn and you jam with your 30% draw, you force out his 1 pairs and flush draws.
53spades was nuts .... i dont agree with you on the preflop all in except for the caveat Deep Stacked .... If you think your opponents range is Strong and you are deep stacked ok ...but most of the time its more in the middle and you are just gambling ..... So only what two hands beat it at that point ...aces and kings ..yes all the pairs beat it but you will beat all the other pairs a large portion of the time... How many players are actually playing textbook GTO based poker at 1/2 ? who is calling all in bets against you with any of those weaker pairs ? qq and jj maybe ? i dont mind the gamble at 1/2 for your first bullet item , the other items 100 percent on board .... i respect you and dont think for one second i'm more knowlegeable but like my chances most of the time pre flop staring at ak ...
you missed a very important point : do you call pre flop with AK if someone shove ? let's say you raise under the gun and under the gun +1 shove....what do you do ?
Ive been playing cash games only for a significant amount of time; daily. And now I am much less successful in tournaments. Why does it seem you cannot be good at both at the same time?
2, 5 and 7 of spades is only a 7 high flush (not a straight flush) and it certainly doesn't beat the best - ace high flush. So he correctly said it's the second "nuts".
I don't see how this makes you stop losing with AK cos most of the time you are folding on the flop and that is what keeps happening to me with AK. Maybe it makes you lose less. That's all. I still hate AK. When you hit people always put you on AK and when you miss you have to fold.
As an avid poker tournament play, I have seen more people bust out holding AK. For me, I dislike AK except for when you call a short stack under 15 big blinds.
So what is the most unprofitable hand you can be dealt? You mentioned something about that, but then you completely skip telling us what the hell the hand is. Now, why in the world would you do that Jonathan? You’re not a teaser.
To help eliminate controversy like at WSOP main FT, why not have RTA optional events or even RTA ONLY events w/strict simple time clock procedures, Street Poker vs. Wizards type thing or ALL wizards?
This is a terrible idea. With rake, if everyone played perfectly GTO strategy no one would make money unless ICM solutions weren't allowed. Why turn poker into one of the lowest EV casino games instead of the only one that is even potentially profitable?
It all depends the player u are calling a all in,,,,,i would fold against a very tight player, call very loose player who u have been watching at the table. So many people do not pay attention to every hand played, they can get so much information. I see so many players looking at their phones while playing, and many are playing online also. Phones should be banned at the table, they slow the game down so much. I played in many events this year at the WSOP, i dont know how many times we had to stop and tell the player his turn. Its out of control, or asking how much the raise or the blinds. The dealers need to enforce the phone rules
People suck at understanding the difference between cash games & tournament poker. AK is a pre-flop monster in tournament poker. In cash games? It's a piece of cheese & you're an idiot for playing it all-in pre-flop lol.
Everytime pot grows and i have AK ( top pair or two pairs ) anyone have three of kinds or make flush....its impossible to profit good with AK at ggpoker.... software doesnt let this kind of favorite hand win.
15 person tournament, 8 people left. Blinds high. Average stack has 15 BB. Everyone folds, I'm SB AKs... Raise 2.5 x BB preflop. The BB goes all in which is around 18xBB. Still leaves me 8xBB's.

Is AK a drawing hand?
Yes, it's the strongest suited connector & you should only semi-bluff with it pre-flop in tournaments, not cash games.
This video could really use some out of position play.
@OneEyedJack01 no, because YOU can't really use some "out of position play", either; so it all works out for the best
The only made hands are the pairs . Any other hand is a draw hand
@@LIONTAMER3DKQ is technically the strongest suited connector as it can make more straights

Thanks Jonathon for some timely, albeit obvious (once I was told), wisdom. Will try it tomorrow.

Last hand, on the turn you overbet while being behind, how many times will you hit that flush draw? 18%? Is pot control not a thing?
You pot control with your weaker Ax portion of your range. That's good not only for controlling the size of the pot with marginal top pairs, but this also protects your checking range. Villain therefore can't arbitrarily bluff rivers, after turn check backs.

Are you suggesting that you have access to your opponent's hole cards during active play? Because in many circles that is considered cheating. You can get disqualified from the tournament and barred from future poker events. You shouldn't know your opponent's hole cards.
Quick question @jonathan - In the last example, what if the opponent check raise shoves on the turn cuz he hit 2p, is it profitable to still call?
You have outs (another A, another K, or any diamond) means 14 outs. So as long as you get at least ~28% implied odds, it’s a call.
If they shove turn, it’s 44 more bbs to win 76 bbs, so you’re getting about 37% to call.
That leads me to believe it’s a fold?
That is a pot odds question that will vary depending on stack depth. If you can't calculate that it's a skill you need to learn.
@@RapIndulgent A is not an out for you. It’s a terrible result too!
Why isn’t it an out?
Villain already had two pair on the turn. Another A gives them a boat.

Good question sir...i would say 50bb in most cases its easy shove.. with 75 BB , it depends...if the action is from EP, probably is just call
25 bb for sure is a shove, 50 bb also probably a 3 bet shove esp off suit. 75 bb I think it’s a mix
Is there any scenario to go all in deep stacked in a cash game ?
Yeah when you decide you no longer want the money thats in front of you.
Define deep stacked- 100bb? 200b? 500bb?
Don't listen to Matt. It all depends on the environment your playing in. There are games where people 3-bet/4-bet quite liberally with wide ranges. These are the spots you want to take to pile money in the pot pre with your AK+.
If your playing tough opposition with structured ranges best stick to charts and their frequencies.
How about just not raising preflop and only calling if someone else raises
The first nut in the AK spades flush draw scenario is 35s
Hmm. Wouldnt top nuts be A2345 Suited, Then AAAA, and then your third nuts?
Wrong
What's with people raising to 2.2k with AKs at 500-1000 blinds? That's basically a min raise. You're gonna get called by half the table

#3 I need to bet bet bet my made hands, to cover for the times I am bluffing. If they can't tell the difference, you print money.

To help eliminate controversy like at WSOP main FT, why not have RTA optional events or even RTA ONLY events w/strict simple time clock procedures, Street Poker vs. Wizards type thing or ALL wizards?
This is a terrible idea. With rake, if everyone played perfectly GTO strategy no one would make money unless ICM solutions weren't allowed. Why turn poker into one of the lowest EV casino games instead of the only one that is even potentially profitable?
It all depends the player u are calling a all in,,,,,i would fold against a very tight player, call very loose player who u have been watching at the table. So many people do not pay attention to every hand played, they can get so much information. I see so many players looking at their phones while playing, and many are playing online also. Phones should be banned at the table, they slow the game down so much. I played in many events this year at the WSOP, i dont know how many times we had to stop and tell the player his turn. Its out of control, or asking how much the raise or the blinds. The dealers need to enforce the phone rules
People suck at understanding the difference between cash games & tournament poker. AK is a pre-flop monster in tournament poker. In cash games? It's a piece of cheese & you're an idiot for playing it all-in pre-flop lol.
Stop giving confusing informations, ace king and aces are just cards, never over estimate unless you have many chips to keep you alive in any games
Everyone is an expert on utube. Lol. Boring
Everytime pot grows and i have AK ( top pair or two pairs ) anyone have three of kinds or make flush....its impossible to profit good with AK at ggpoker.... software doesnt let this kind of favorite hand win.
Great video!!
15 person tournament, 8 people left. Blinds high. Average stack has 15 BB. Everyone folds, I'm SB AKs... Raise 2.5 x BB preflop. The BB goes all in which is around 18xBB. Still leaves me 8xBB's. Bear in mind he's all in range is super wide as he's a gambler. There is also a bounty to win from him. I but him something KQ or KJ off. Recent hand he went all in with K2s and pushed me of an A10o .... Call... Up against 22... What the ... Nothing hits and he wins. Next hand I have AJo, and again he does all in and beats me with 44. Doh...
That’s poker for ya.
