Great quality material. I especially appreciated the insight 23:00 that they, (at lower stakes), when betting, have the combos that beat you 100% of the time, but they have the natural bluffs and overplayed value combos less often. I have just started intuiting this recently but you put it well.
Hey Jonathan! I live in Europe and have recently started playing poker. At first I found it rather difficult, however, your vidoeos are absolutely top shelf. Cheers man.
I once remember a hand where I folded 64o preflop, and the other three 6’s were on the board on the river, and someone jammed and got the fold and mucked. I knew they did not have the quads because I folded them. So what I folded preflop can be relevant to what I learn about the other players in special situations.
he could have had a high pocket pair, made a full house, and was pretty sure he had the best hand, because quads are rare. sounds like he was bluffing though, since he mucked.
I'm 15 minutes into the vidow and this is already insanely helpful. Thank you so much for everything that you do man, I can clearly see my game improving because of your content. :)
You're vids keep me coming back for more and more information. You make learning fun! Your bluntness combined with your funny personality and fantastic knowledge is a great teaching style!.

You provide so much amazing information for free I cannot wait to see what the paid for coaching holds. Thank you for your dedication to the game and to us your students.
Great video, thank you! Been out of the game for years, itching to play again but it seems like postflop bet sizing is heaps different these days, at least from the Brad Owen vids I've watched. So it's great to see what bet sizing you recommend.
@@PokerCoaching Undoubtedly people are better, although I imagine the folks at my local small town casino are still pretty bad. Still though, these new bet sizes... I understand betting smaller with a range advantage on the flop, and bigger with a polar range on flops we don't hit. Lots to learn from you Jonathan, very much appreciate you making these videos, pure gold!
Hey Jonathan! Something I was considering in the hand 87o vs the timid player with QTs, I've been reading about assessing equity and nut advantage when determining a bet size. Since our opponent is timid with clear value hands, are we justified in capping their range in such a way that we reduce their nut equity? My thought process is that, given that our opponent is more timid, we are more likely to have the nutted hands in this spot than our opponent. The turn and river overbet presses that advantage.
On the flop, the nut advantage does not change for the player type. After the action checks through, against any player type, the BB often times has the nut advantage on the turn because IP bets most of the nut hands in their range.
Hey Johnathan. I view every single video of yours and have learned so much! I have been grinding 4 tables of NL5 on bovada for 2 months now and have gotten my $20 deposit up to $250. I am itching to take a stab at NL25 zone because I do pretty good there whenever I play it. I have been following a strict bankroll management plan and I am not supposed to move up to even 10NL until I'm at $400. I know I should just stick with the plan but what do you think? Just a 1 buy in stab!
Nice job grinding it up! You have plenty for NL5, so I think taking a shot at a higher stake makes sense. Just make sure if the shot goes poorly, you move back down and continue to focus on beating the game and grinding it up slowly.
@@PokerCoaching Hey coach,what would it take for a broke "nobody" to get some 1 on 1 with you? Maybe if I make it big I owe you 50k or something.

We can delete this if you accept the challenge, lol...😉 forgot to add I'm also a father of 9 (6 step but mine)
maybe this is a silly question, but is there a program where we can practice against 5 bots playing GTO strategy? Maybe something that would assess our skill levels and help us improve, aside of watching and studying your very informative videos?? I am thankful for them, I have learned a lot after only 6 hours of videos!
i am not up on most poker places rules, but do players use an app on their phone WHILE playing ? to show valuations, betting ranges, etc ?? is that now a new "normal" while playing ? something showing what you show above in the Stnd Button vs HJ betting and the Exploitative Btn vs HJ strategy ?? or is that strictly a " between hands" kind of usage/app ? just not the best at remembering this range, that range, those ranges.. etc.. love the tips, going to try to use them down in Jacksonville FL, hopefully soon.
So here's something I don't understand that's discussed in the first 10 minutes. So you're against opponents who call 3 bets too wide and pretty much never fold. Wouldn't you want to tighten your 3 bet range? If you start 3 betting with more marginal hands, when you're called, it's harder to know where you are because your opponents are calling so wide, so how do you know your A-10s isn't dominanted by A-Qs? I'd be getting more and more nervous when they keep calling on every street when I know they could have called preflop with anything from J-6s to A-Ks. I'd be much more comfortable 3 betting against opponents who have a predictable calling range. Am I wrong or missing something?
@@PokerCoaching I see, ok that makes sense, so you open your range in a linear fashion that contains slightly looser hands, but hands still likely to beat their range. That makes sense, thanks for the reply!
You can flat more the closer you are to the bottom. AJs can be a 3bet depending on how tight is the Villain. In this case he is very splashy and that's why you want to 3bet more against this type of players and also you avoid playing them multiway. Another thing is that because of the rake at 1/3 you are incentivized to 3bet more against this player to play bigger pots.
YOUR TRAINING MAKE SENSE DURING LIVE PLAY. BUT INTERNET POKER IS DIFFERENT. THE PLAYERS SEEM TO ALWAYS CATCH ON TURN RIVER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY MAKE A BAD CALL.
He means call because good players will have bluffs and KQ for value (which we beat). Weak players will almos never bluff and are even to scared to value bet top pair here. So against weak players we want to fold because their betting range are flushes, straights (some how), sets, ...without the bluffs or value hands that we beat.

no one raises with A 7 offsuit then calls a 3bet. This isn't exploiting anything. Any decent player can sniff out weak players at the table after a few hours and then adjust their play accordingly. That first scenario doesn't happen unless your playing with beginners.
Hmmm...something doesn't seem right. in example 1, he proves he will pay $25 to play J8s. Why would you assume he isn't playing K9s during the second hand? Assuming that he doesn't have K9s then going all in is asking to be trapped. Why even mention learning a lesson from hand 1 when you didn't use it in hand 2? The lesson you supposedly learned is that he will raise preflop with KingXs, but then you immediately assume he doesn't have KxFlush on river. Can you explain this? My question might be "How did you know that villain wasn't trapping you with KXclubs?"
This is a very nice video on how to play against people who have shown before what sort of player they are. Interesting! But why explaining it over and over again? Its OK to explain it two times in other words, but explaining it again and again and again and again makes it like you think we are all morons. If I don't understand your explanation at once, I'll rewind. 😉 .
I use these tips and I start winning slowly and consistent with average of 10BB/100 hours (started tracking since 1 week now). But somehow I always lose my whole stack after a while with with things like set over set on the flop or my KK vs AA preflop all in -_-. Any tip Jonathan? It's seems to happen consistently.
Sometimes you are going to run hot. While it is difficult to avoid KK vs AA, you can often avoid postflop coolers by not paying your opponents off. You may be running poorly, or you may be overplaying strong, but non-nut hands. I suggest you take a look at how you play those.
18:30 doesn't make much sense to me. We've just established that villain checks strong hands instead of value betting them. Since he checks his value hands, this makes his checking range way stronger than the average player, so attacking his checking range with bluffs is a questionable play. Also, we have no information about his calling range from the previous hand. He can very well be a total calling station, as are a lot of players at these stakes. IMO hero just got lucky he ran into the extremely rare tight-passive villain, instead of the infinitely more common loose-passive type who would snap call this.
He checked behind on the river with a clear value bet, though, which points to him being afraid of monsters and raises/big bets. He isn't merely slowplaying too much.
specific beats general when exploiting. This is *about* learning which of the two types you're talking about villain *actually* is, not just using a frequency model to be durable in the absence of specifics.
@@FefeLeVrai … just as passively/timidly as in the first one. Looks like he doesn't like to put money into the pot without the absolute nuts. We overbet _because_ his checking range includes stronger hands-so he can fold his 2nd and top pair hands he didn't valuebet. We didn't observe him bluffcatch with marginal holdings/garbage (which still are in his range), but a very strong hand afraid of putting money in.

You would want to make your range more linear to contain lots of hands that beat their calling range, like AT and KJ.

Wow,I thought I knew how to play,Lol

Jonathan: In hand #2 Why is the ATs on the button not a 3-bet? Is AJs a 3-bet?
You can flat more the closer you are to the bottom. AJs can be a 3bet depending on how tight is the Villain. In this case he is very splashy and that's why you want to 3bet more against this type of players and also you avoid playing them multiway. Another thing is that because of the rake at 1/3 you are incentivized to 3bet more against this player to play bigger pots.
ATo would be a 3-bet but ATs flops well enough to the point that you don't need to 3-bet.
@@PokerCoaching Thanks.
