Your reactions to bad luck by Woocash22 made me laugh. It would be even funnier if, after the third stack lost, you said - 'Woocash22, you are no longer a player in our fund'.
Lol. The AQ timing tell. You do realize that someone with AA, KK, QQ or AK could be timebanking there because they dont know what to do as well. Or maybe they didnt stop their game but decided to take piss... that "timing tell" on the first hand is utterly useless.
Saulo I really love you work man.... Gostaria muito de fazer o seu curso... ou uma mentoria, começei a jogar cash 2/2€ live. Quando abre vagas para o seu coach?
I never heard the point about not running it twice so you have better odds to play deep. Love it, never thought about that one. Greetings - Kinda serious player who doesn’t want to go professional but just play good poker :)
hey man love the vids recently, was just wondering if you could make a video on how to study GTO and actually start from the ground up as a rec player. To show the journey of how one should improve, if not would you mind highlighting some tips down here bro! thanks.
Not sure I'd be able to help with that to be honest my friend 😕 I've been making intermediate to advanced content for years. Starting from the ground up as a rec is a context I'm very distant from. I do know of a ew TH-cam channels that are perhaps more suited to this type of audience: Jonathan Little, BlackRainPoker and The Poker Bank are a few that come to mind. Check them out, I'd imagine you can find good information
@@saulocostapoker thanks for your time to response man, i will check them out, hopefully ill get to the level of GTO understanding to get benefit from these videos!
I never played 5knl as main game, took a few shots here and there, which likely amount to ~10k hands total. Since late 2022 grinding is my 4th or 5th priority overall, so my volume is very low
Hey saulo love the channel but we would like to see a recent gameplay of you on ps zoom 200 playing solid a game like the 200 rush and cash thank you 🙏🏽
@@saulocostapokerworth noting champ that on Monday, Stars is announcing a new rakeback system that is going to be more generous/transparent. It then comes into effect on the 22nd Jan.

@@saulocostapoker you made me giggle a few times... in any case, if it works for you, it's good... but it is a dangerous game relying on timing tells... recs could be getting a beer etc
It's not about what they could or not be doing though. Timing tells are about probabilities - just like most things in poker. Someone that goes check-raise bet bet all in could just be his cat walking on his keyboard...but that's way less likely than him just having a very strong hand. A probability in poker doesn't have to be 100% for it to be extremely useful...just like you don't need to be right everytime you bluffcatch the river for it to be profitable. You just need to be right enough of the time, according to the pot odds. If one can be right about a timing tell read, even if just a fraction of the time, it will already be sufficient to make a profit relative to not using the timing tell. Hope that clarifies! If you still think differently however, I can respect that. You can avoid using it while I will keep using it myself
@@saulocostapoker thanks for the elaborate reply ! _"If you still think differently however, I can respect that. You can avoid using it while I will keep using it myself"_ Im not a pro, but I do have a positive win rate - and I too use timing tells in borderline situations - although I get the feeling you use them more than me. In my experience, the timing tells are more accurate in cash game settings than MTT (my pref. choice of game). It will be profitable to account for timing - but again in my experience, it gives way more information when instant/quick actions are made, rather than the use of time bank.

Awesome content as always! hey Saulo i have a question for you: I'm a doctor and play poker casually, try to play a session everyday for 1h, and as poker is not my main income or even makes part of it i would like to know from u how should i do my bankroll managment? should i be a little more agressive and how many buy-ins would u advise, other thing should i be playing 2 or 3 tables of zoom or 6 regular tables! (even its not my main income i dont like to loose money and have been winning for a while have a winrate of 5bb/100 in zoom25. Thank You!
I used to play professionally myself and bankroll management depends on a lot of different factors, but the main thing is that you maintain a bankroll that gives you comfortable cushion to keep playing well though downswings. Most who don't play professional (and even some that do) really don't know how bad and how long downswings can last. 20-30BI downswings will happen if you play long enough, so most pros recommend 30BI at a minimum. That number can go up or down depending on the games (tournaments are generally more high variance than cash; games like Omaha are much more high-variance than NLHE cash) and your winrate (the higher your winrate, the lower the variance). It also depends on whether you have another source of income, because obviously with another income source you can replenish your bankroll more easily, so you can get away with having less of a bankroll. I will say that only playing an hour a day will probably make it tough to have much of an idea of your winrate for a long time. As for 2-3 table zoom Vs 6 regulars, it just depends on how comfortable you are with each and what the player pool is. Try both, and try to get a feel for which ones have more fish and which you're better at. ADD types like myself generally prefer Zoom, but there are often more fish at the regular tables. Good luck!

I like to run it twice or at least offer it to recs who will cash out if u click once but might be ok with running it twice and therefore not cashing out. Keeps that extra rake they pay available for you to win.
@@jeffshackleford3152When you get all the money in, you gave the option to cash in your equity for a fee. For example, if you get in with one card remaining and are a 60% favorite, if you cash out they will give you maybe 58% of the pot regardless of what the river is (so if you would have lost the hand you get 58% and if you win you get 58%). It basically hedges your bets.

I think he's supposed to fold the AKs to the 5B jam at 8:20
hi there. just curious why 88 is a 53.5% fold OTT in the 88 vs QJhh hand. Makes no sense to me. Love your content.
Timestamp?
Is it normal these days to such small 4b to 17.5bb? Also this iso of the limper to only 3bb? Both hands played by Woocash.
Yeah the cold 4bet IP is std size I think. The preflop iso I would personally make bigger indeed
Saulo, why u don't play anymore in Nl5k ?
I never played 5knl as main game, took a few shots here and there, which likely amount to ~10k hands total.

Awesome commentary on the QhJh Vs 88 flush-over-set hand!
Thanks buddy!
Yeeeaaa BOY. My favorite format! Ty!
Will we see you playing any more stars 200z or 500z when it runs? How come so much GG? Cheers for content, champ.
I dont even open stars lobby anymore, withdrew my bankroll from there. But, you're the second one to ask for this, so I'll make it happen

The confidence in labeling "regs" vs "recs" and how they behave is HILARIOUS ....
(but seriously, take care guys).

I would say focus on getting good at one table then scale up.
If you are playing reg tables then I would start at 2 then scale up.
Hey @saulocostapoker, would you consider making a video about timing tells on rivers?
Nice timing buddy! A video on timing tells is coming on Tuesday 😎 It won't be specifically about rivers though
