    This video is really useful for a project that I am working on. I'm a software dev and an aspiring poker player. I've found a lot of the tools available for analyzing poker situations to be lacking in some way or another. To maximize study time efficiency I've started developing my own solver like app using open source libs with the intention of also releasing it open source. So far I've completed a simulator that is similar in some ways to flopzilla and pokerstove. It uses a javascript based port of pokerstove for evaluating hands but also supports ranges(and weighted ranges). The output equities almost mirror that of equilab for range evaluation. The next steps are a range trainer(user defined ranges) and post flop action evaluation based on user defined ranges(think pokersnowie with user defined ranges). This video is really useful for a basic protocol for dealing with a super common post flop situation.

    Hey Jonathan, great video, Just had a question regarding the examples you gave.
    so in the example you give you have a standard EP opening range and then an MP opening range, with AQ3 then 876 with your range equity vs the defending range as roughly 64% and 53% respectively on those boards. Then categorize us as having a huge or Tiny range advantage and then employing either a frequent small or an infrequent large style strategy. My question is, what defines a tiny or large range advantage? say we had a board that gave us a 58% equity range vs range advantage, is that classified as large or small, or something in between, and if so, what should our betting strategy be? Thanks!

    Really good stuff.Just one question.When using the range chart around the 12 minute mark to determine which holdings to bet you include draws(including weaker draws)
    Now I assume you are talking continuation bets when it checks to the preflop raiser (with a range advantage)
    Betting draws (including gut shots/backdoors flushes with an over) in this example is recommended as there is good fold equity.
    However in the scenario in the video( flop 9h-7h -3c) with holdings say Kc 10c are you recommending to proceed the same with a bet in front?
    Should we call the bet and proceed or fold as we lost fold equity?

    Great video and thanks for the essential poker tips. I'm not understanding range advantage. In the example he showed, where the cards came 9 7 3, does he not have range advantage because of the flop? Or is it because he is playing from middle position against BB? I thought BB plays a wider range, so doesn't that mean his range is weaker than middle position?

  • @alexou2001
    @alexou2001 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jonathan thanks for the great video. I need to clarify something if you can help me. On the 2-3 minutes you talk about the profitable bluffs formula. I want to phrase this differently but I am not sure if this is how it works. For example, if we know that a player is calling 60% to a c-bet on the flop, it means that he folds a maximum of around 40%.
    As far as I understand it and using the formula, betting 65% of the pot size (65/165 = 39.3%) means that I take my opponent to the maximum limits of his folding frequency. Is my understanding correct? So is 65% the MAXIMUM bet sizing we should use in such a case?
    And another question: is there a way to calculate the MINIMUM bet sizing we should use for our c-bet bluffs?

  • @chieffanLJ27
    @chieffanLJ27 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So Ive watched this video a few times. Ive been barrelling pretty light, esp when people float the flop and fold the turn just because. However, i get in sticky situations when i all of a sudden get looked up with A high with these players. I get wayyy too aggro trying to get folds.
    Ive actually been trying to develop a checking range to stop myself getting in trouble. Essentially i try to look at range advantage, but im not good at it, and in 10nl, i feel like opponents dont look at range advantage, and even if i bet from UTG and flop is AKJ, and i have 99 for example, i get floated with J9s or something, and it just...it gets hairy quick.
    Thank you for this video, theres a lot of information to think about, especially exploitatively. I know i have leaks, so this is definitely a huge one

    • @thomasobrien4707
      @thomasobrien4707 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      LoonTink id say in low stakes cash games like 10NL not many players are considering range advantage and they are probably very ABC, meaning it’s obvious what their range is

    • @thomasobrien4707
      @thomasobrien4707 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should only continue to double/triple barrel with value generally against these opponents if they’re not folding bottom pair (calling station). So change your betting range to be more value (second pair, bottom pair) instead of more range-based because your opponents are only looking at their two cards

  • @mothecat776

  • @Reportforfeed
    @Reportforfeed 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey I have a question. So if the board is wet you should bet big to protect your equity right ? But what if you have a flush draw with ace as a kicker or if you already have the nut flush ? How are you suppose de play/bet ? Cause in this case if you bet large you will not get paid very often and you don't need to protect you hand if you have a the best flush draw or nut flush.

Leaving with profits in cash games and running deep in tournaments on one buy in (I don't rebuy and besides when I've been eliminated there's no more rebuying anyway.lol) I want to take these skills I'm learning as far as I can take them and possibly make something of myself with this game.

    how should you adjust you c bet sizing if they're are no antes?

  • @influentia1patterns
    @influentia1patterns 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is what I do.
    1)If you don’t mind information leakage, *generally* bet your strongest hands and the hands just at and below the weakest calling range. I call this the strongest folding range. Draws a little too weak to call and vulnerable hands like under pair or pocket pair with lots of overcards that could make it weaker pair on the flop.
    So J72 flop... with 2 suits to a flush
    You will check/call your 88-TT and A2 and A7. Your sets you almost always raise. You will usually call and sometimes bet/raise AJ and QQ+. Check/call 98 with backdoor draws, your AK, your T9 with backdoor draws. your AQ you sometimes bluff raise, sometimes check/call, your AT you usually bluff raise, your pocket pair you bluff raise 22-66. You can float 2 facecards with backdoor straight and flush possibilities with some bluff raises. Your single high card backdoor draw like A9 you usually bluff raise, sometimes fold, occasionally float. Hands with 2 overs to the 7 like Q9 with backdoor flush you can sometimes fold sometimes raise. Without flush draw usually fold sometimes raise. Many other weaker hands
    Yes it depends on opponent but you have to continue often enough to avoid exploitation as the baseline strategy and be able to go after it the proper amount so opponent can’t just bluff catch all day or on the other side never bluff catch. So it doesn’t change too much if opening hand ranges are roughly the same.
    On turn
    on say a J728 board with 2 suits you might bluff hands like:
    KQ with flush draw
    A2-A6 with flush draw.
    A9
    AT
    KQ no flush draw
    A7
    A2
    Generally fold weaker hands. Call bluff catchers, raise strong hands.
    2)If you do want to conceal information leakage your have to use board texture and static/dynamic flops to determine whether to bet almost all or almost always none (almost always check) (you can also cbet 100% of flops if the field is generally weak and still conceal info)
    So A72 board if I’m in position and it checks to me I check. A77 I check. A98 I check A98 with 2 or 3 suits I may bet
    K72 I check, K98 I check, KQJ I bet.
    Q72 I usually check.
    J72 I mix up checking and betting.. JTx I bet
    T72 and lower I usually bet.
    From out of position it’s sort of the opposite since no card can come on A77 flop that will change the nature of the hand so out of position doesn’t give away any info and have threat to keep betting.
    The actual best strategy might be a bit of a blend where you simply increase the percentage of the time that you check or bet based on flop texture.
    For most purposes doing the best decision 75% of the time and 25% of the time mixing it up for deception is probably good enough.
    3)Tournaments.
    In tournaments the later you get and the more blinds rise relative to stacks, and the more I believe pot control is needed. So early on I am more aggressive with betting, use larger bet sizes and larger preflop bet size early and then taper it down as tournament goes. I also increase the frequency I check whether it’s on the turn or flop or both. I usually do this by flop texture then after a few hands I might do the strategy that forks my range and gives away information but tournaments information leakage isn’t that bad of a problem.

    Is flopping trips with a poor kicker with 2 cards on the board giving people potential flush draws a premium hand or a marginal hand? If I'm playing against people who have no obviously flaws (like he just arrived at the table), is this good? What if I'm against someone who overvalues pocket pairs and might just be holding a full house?

    • @aftrglw
      @aftrglw 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Pretty sure he means that you are less worried about overcards. If you check the flop with JJ, you’re giving your opponents’ Broadway combos the ability to peel another card, so any Q, K or A on the turn can counterfeit you. This is less of a concern with AA and KK.

    • @Pumalate77
      @Pumalate77 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @Tsiphon
    @Tsiphon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video! I wanted to try messing around with this in a more visual way like you have at 10:10. I like the color coding. Is there a program you used to do this (with some specific key-combo)? I looked at combonator, Equilab, and Flopzilla but honestly I can't figure out how to make them do much besides range selection and equity calculations. If you did do this on a poker program were you able to make a handy legend like that in the program? Seems like those features would heavily streamline the process for the more visual learners.

    I get it.. ranges, math, etc. I do.
    Ive been playing since 06 or so and Ive played around 1,200,000 hands. 95% of what Ive played has been online.
    I used to play before I went to work, and when I got home until I went to sleep. Then Friday night til late and all day Saturdays and Sundays.
    From all my experience, Ive developed my own style of play that works pretty well for me, but I know... I KNOW that there are areas where I could improve. For instance, I know that sometimes I give up on hands too easily. I often just fold and move on because I dont want to engage in the "my crap hand is better than your crap hand" game. I want to CRUSH them.... which means that my playing style requires me to start with strong hands and hit flops.
    What concerns me about coaching or lessons is that the style of play that Im learning may be counter to my natural style of play which means that it would be difficult for me to make a positive adjustment even if I wanted to.
    I'm not a pokey, loosy, jabby, bluffy, any two cards, type of player. I'm a tight aggro nit. Suited connectors, occasional stuff like 9-10, pocket pairs, and premium hands is all I play and when I play them depends entirely on position.
    When I dont get dealt ANY of those hands (like last night...) I just fade away to the blinds and Im out after I make my last stand with A5 off and get 3 calls.
    That said, I'm seriously considering these courses. I'd like to be able to cherry pick the stuff that would be most helpful to my game and apply it.

    • @archlord381
      @archlord381 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So you're saying last night you were card dead? Card dead for a standard player would mean you didn't get anything worth seeing a flop with. IF all you're playing with is suited connectores, 9-10, pairs and premiums you are just not playing enough hands. How many times has your AK been beat by a flopped two pair, flush, etc. You can't always just be the guy who gets sucked out on with premium hands. You needd to balance your playing range so that sometimes you will be the guy who flops a set, straight, two pair against AK or other great hands.

    Soo John I have a question, lets say you have a really unlucky night pre-flop literally getting junk constantly or never hitting flops.. Would you consider bluffing more ? Otherwise it seems like you fold fold fold fold fold and suddenly bet.. people think you have a big hand? so this should give me more incentive to bluff? While when I'm in the hotseat I have less incentive to bluff (unless I constantly show the winning hand)

    • @PokerCoaching
      @PokerCoaching  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Certainly your image is important. If you're playing very good players they will realize that you folding a lot is not an indication of you being tight, but if the players think that you are a very tight image you can exploit them by bluffing more.

    So... If my 30 bet into 100 needs to work 23% of the time and my opponent makes a pair or draw 40% of the time, I see this is an immediately profitable bet. That is less clear is when my opponent should NOT fold. If he has no pair and no draw, where can he find the necessary calls I know everyone says you cannot play fit or fold poker, yet if you are the BB and called a raise and now the flop leaves you with no pair and no draw, what can you do to overcome or at least attenuate this problem.

    Was just watching and noticed an inconsistency (which may be me misunderstanding). At 11:25 you say that you want between a 2:1 and 1:1 ratio of bluffs to draws. But, then the math you describe is actually Draws to Premium Made Hand ratio (the 24% vs 18%). I'm assuming you meant the 2:1 to 1:1 ratio you describe should be Draws to PMH ratio? Thanks
    Love your material.

      Correct. On the flop, you want to keep roughly a 2:1 bluff (draws) to value (PMH) ratio.

    what is the idea behind betting larger on a board where your opponent has a range advantage (or where your have none)? seems counter intuitive but is it because you are naturally bluffing more on such a middling / connected board? is it also to deter your opponent from raising?

      @@PokerCoaching Thank you for replying! I understand the concept you describe (that there is an inverse relationship between bet sizing and frequency, such that we use a large sizing at a low frequency - which, intuitively, makes sense); however, this does not explain how we determine the exact frequency. For example, why 75% and not 80%?

    • @Pokarface7

      @@consumer61 If the pot was $4 and you bet 75% ($3),
      Imagine:
      Risk = n (a call)
      Reward = m (old pot size + bet size)
      n / (m +n)
      3 / (7 + 3) = 3/10 = pot odds 30%.
      However, to justify calling 75% of the pot, the villain would need to win +30% to make a profit, or needs 30% equity to complete the draw. If villain pays this only to see one more card, he or she would need 14 outs to complete the draw! Most hands rarely have 14 outs, flush draws have 9 outs, straight draws have 8, gut shots 4, so calling 3/4 of the pot is a mistake...unless, you add implied odds, so you'll need to study that as well.
      Note, that at the moment that YOU bet 75%, you only need to win 43% of the time to break even. Everything above 43% is profit. I believe flopping a pair happens ~30% of the time, so if villain folds everytime they don't flop a pair (a tough assumption), you're already winning more than 43% (Study bluff break even points to understand this).
      Study the rule of 2 and 4 to understand drawing equity.
      Study pot odds to understand what fraction of the pot to bet.
      Remember:
      Equity > than pot odds % = call
      Equity < pot odds % = fold

When we have a range advantage on the flop, you say in the video that we should bet small. This is also something that I've seen empirically to mostly make sense, since we can bluff at a high frequency and put our opponents' weaker hands in tough spots. What I don't understand is why this changes on the turn and the river--why do we go from betting our range advantage small on the flop to betting large or even overbetting on later streets?

      Yes not capping your range by making small bets (25%-33% pot with a balanced range) can be a very effective strategy in certain situations. I use that play often with good results especially on the turn IP when I want to get a check on the river so I can check back. If I check back turn I'll often face a bigger bet from a polarized range on the river which can suck. By not capping my range and betting small my opponent is somewhat handcuffed.

    Just curious... it would annoy me if it's not netted out. Someone could be the top earner of all time just by playing the most volume, but if they've lost more in buy-ins than they've won... they're not gonna have a good time.

    It seems to me that with that strategy I cbet ~40% of time. I know that's a bad argument, but I get the feeling like everyone on the web is saying that ~60% is much better. Following the herd is probably not a good idea, but I hesitate. On the other hand I feel like whenever I play against someone with 60% cbet and he does cbet OOP on flop like K75, If I have 78 I'll surely call it and more often than not on micros I'll get a check on turn and win the pot at the end.

      Capping your range is fine as long as it is protected by the presence of hands that can easily call down. If your opponent decides to try to exploit this by only value betting top pair and better, it will result in you winning all the small and medium pots, and also picking it up with many of your bluffs.
