Are you winning at poker yet? Also, here is my simple strategy to beat a poker fish (works every time): th-cam.com/video/mau38xvPlb0/w-d-xo.html
Mostly agree with these points. However:
Regarding (7) limping, note that this is only a problem vs good players who will take advantage of your capped ranged. Against weaker players, limping is fine. In fact, I'd argue that limping most of your pocket pairs and suited aces is the right play against people who don't know how to punish you for it.
Regarding (4), I think squeezing is a great play with your stronger hands, however I find that it doesn't work so good with some of the more speculative holdings. For example, although squeezing with your suited aces is probably OK, as you're blocking a lot of the hands your opponents can reasonably call with, the problem with this move is it that it causes weaker suited hands to fold, and that's a problem because if you can set up a flush-over-flush cooler, you'll probably get your opponent's entire stack. And unfortunately, at the softer games your A4s will often get called by A8o and other such rubbish, which puts you in a tough spot. In a similar way, I find that my squeezes with suited connectors get called enough that it's just not worth it. Maybe squeeze with like 50% of your suited connectors, just so you can flip them over and prove that you're not just squeezing exclusively with KQo+, but I don't think you should do this with every suited connector you're dealt in late position. Instead, just limp in with everyone else and try to make a straight, and be careful because if you hit an 8-high flush, because anyone who seems eager to play a big pot with your probably has you beat.
Regarding (2), sometimes this can't be helped. I often squeeze the limpers to about $20 on the $1/$3 tables I play, and still get a large number of callers. It's not ideal, but if they're calling with KTo, your AKo is going to be in good shape and you'll probably win the pot about 50% of the time, which is all you really need when the pot is so big because of all the people who called with speculative holdings.
Finally, I'll add one more point to BlackRain's comments: you'll never see a good player treat KJo like it's KQo. If you're making the mistake of playing a lot of "king jackoffs" in the hope of hitting the flop, start folding these more readily, and I can pretty much guarantee that your profitability will head north.
Regarding limping, I find limping in with small pocket pairs and suited aces are pretty bad. You never win the blinds straight away and post flop is difficult to play. If you flop a set with the pair, flop a flush with the AXs, sure but you are still probably only going to win a very small pot in these unlikely occasions.
Even if you hit top pair with the ace, you are often going to either win a tiny pot because you are the only one with the ace or get called all the way by a bigger ace, losing a big pot. After once or twice, even weaker players are going to realise you do have plenty of small aces in your limping range and they would just give up a small pot when the limped flop comes an ace and you bet.
Limping small pairs also caps your range to small hands, making it seem more likely that you actually hit something when it flops all small cards. Then it would also be difficult to get paid. Raising your pair preflop means your postflop raise on a small board is sometimes a two overcards c-bet, and sometimes a set. This way the top pair or two-pair would actually pay your set off.
In all my experience, limping usually means getting squeezed hard, or a multiway wide range pot where people can hit all sorts of random stuff that beats you, and a hard spot to bluff as well. This means your EV limping in is either super small since every limper is going to hit something with about the same probability, or just negative if you had to limp-fold or limp-call with a capped range. It's just way better to either raise or just let it go and see the next hand. I only reserve limping for some super speculative hands or very occasionally first limp-raise slow playing AA/KK in early positions with some LAG players behind me.
Finally, I'll add one more point to your comment. "Jackking off" sounds way better than "king jackoff".
@@MrNicePotatoLol at that last bit. I agree with your comments in principle, and against good players you're very right, but that's also not where the money is made. Case in point: I've recently started raise-opening a lot more pocket pairs and suited aces, and I actually feel like my winrate has gone down somewhat as a result.
Good points! Thanks for watching my poker videos, glad they help!
@@BlackRain79Poker Thank you for making them. I've definitely been slow playing a bit less since starting to watch your videos, and I think it's helped.
I enjoy your videos. I have played poker for fun for 40+ years. I have started playing serious poker. Playing 1/2 with 5 straddle. The videos and books have help me so much. Thank you!
Glad my poker videos and my books are helping you Christopher!

Nowhere near professional but it's fun seeing the reactions when I win those pots! You definitely give me the tips and tricks in what to look for, thanks man!
Great video, Solid tips!

I always go in with AA,KK,QQ, anything from A to 9 lol. I hate flops slow poker.
Great video as always, Nathan
Thanks for watching my poker videos, glad they help!
Speaking Facts. Information is Power
I like limping in 2-20 - I'm not confident in my hand but when you hit it, it makes up for the other times I don't limp. I'm selective on limping, I don't do it with crap hands usually middle/mediocre ones. I don't limp with A-Q offsuite, I raise with that. Maybe I'm just trash and playing bad, my biggest struggle is when people raise on 2-20 preflop and you call if you whiff the board you can't bluff others to fold most of the time so you end up folding on a bet. Most don't bluff either so you know they generally paired something.
You’re thinking the wrong way !! Most of the time, when you miss, your opponent misses too so you don’t have to worry about that and play with confidence. 1) you have to know your opponent’s range…asking yourself: if He raised to $15 what 2 cards He should have?? 2) play cards that can beat his cards like small pairs or suited connectors. 3) play in position…because it’s better for you to bluff and win the hand if you act after the other player. I hope you learn something and good luck !!
@@junito1008 I struggle with them missing on a 2-20 table though, I've tried to bluff and most don't fold so not sure how to play without being tighter and just playing if I hit the board? Not sure the best approach.
Nah, you're playing fine. Limping pocket pairs and suited aces is a good idea whenever the table doesn't understand that you need to be punished for capping your range like this.
Great Video's However I have a question. #7 Limping. Your example says you should be raised to $6? In my home game, the standard open is usually $12 in our 1/2 game and usually gets 2 plus callers. What do you recommend there? I mean a #6 raise would be an 8 handed limp fest. Also Im in Texas LOL
raise to 20-25
Lately I raised my AA UTG+1 in a fullring cashgame to 5bb to isolate, but 5 players called. Flop came K-8-10 rainbow and I check-called half pot vs button and UTG and check-folded the (blank) turn bet from the button, while UTG called again. On the river button shoved, UTG called... It was set of 8s (button) vs K-10...
When ppl on such tables call 5 × bets try to limp your Aces UTG, they will most of the time raise you, or even reraise the player before him, then shove your aces, ( looks like AK) and you will see how many trash to JJ pockets will call you..or go directly to 10 × raise preflop first..
@@Biostatic right, that was kind of my expectation to get reraised, but no one did so. 🤷🏼♂️ Maybe I've just been to tight before...
@@markusbecker802 5x bets get mostly reraised from such c-stations when they have a really good Hand to, if you lucky they think JJ or QQ are Nuts, but those guys reraise often when you limp and you do nothing wrong when you sit on a Table and Play rhe firsthalf hour Tight, Tight is is Right, you can open your Range later if you see they are to tight, the AA or KK limp shove Strategy works alot for me, but only when you know their patterns, the 5x raise from You was absolutley fine, next time an Ace to shows up on the Flop and you win a Big Pot against 2 pairs and bottom Set.
Where can I play online cash games ?? What are the best sites??
Some thoughts on limping: why not limp on the SB sometimes? Also, in MP, NEVER limp first in, but you can limp after limpers for info, just be aware this is not a bet, you're simply paying a BB to see what everybody does before you decide.
For the exploit, you can as well raise any suited ace on the button all of the time I think, almost anything really, limper or no limper, and when there are limpers around, 4x is not a bad idea anyway either. In tournaments, you can sometimes like set a standard for the table that will stick when some players follow along and hence you can influence general SPR and variances.
However, I 100% agree, punish them and raise them more often (I might have said something like J7 instead of A4s, and that might be personal preference, but as a reminder here: A4o is complete trash), and see them crumble because they don't know why they are being bullied, they can feel they're doing something wrong but nobody tells them what, so they become more insecure and make even more mistakes. (Or... you do tell them at some point, and explain the limp, but they won't shut up and listen for a minute but debate a different "opinion"..)
#2 could be a topic for its own video. How do you make bigger raises in order to get fewer callers without giving away your hand? If you usually raise 3x but bump it to 10x every time you have AA, even the fish are going to catch on.
Variance. Don't always raise so large to identify your hand. 3x, 5x is fine and if people raise beforehand you can push it to 10x because you've got someone invested already. If you always go max value you're right people catch on and you'll only ever get the best of hands calling.
@@Magetastic69 Agreed. You need to make those larger raises with a variety of hands as well. Variance is key to getting paid.
I played cash game $1/$3 in Vegas and had to open to $20 just to thin the field to 1 or 2 players with AA or KK. Then my raises for "other" hands could be $15. Playing heads up even with 87s is easier heads up
it's totally fine to get more callers, don't be scared of this. He is wrong about how it's bad to be a statistical underdog, if there are 4 players you only need to put in 25% of the money so you only need to win 25% of the time not 50%. At 100bb deep, I would raise to 3.5 bb every time which is pot sized and I would not change it
Sometimes, I limp in on purpose, only if I am above 90% sure of a winning hand e.g if by the river I have flush or full house with a top pair, then I will limp in 9/10 times they will go all in and then I call and take the pot. But I stress I only do this against the fish or loose aggressive players.
In a $1 /$2 house game what if you are not the first one to bet.Most people limp in.I usually bet 3× the big blind =$6.Thank you just said add $1 for each limper.What if before the flop in the house game 1/2 the guy is betting or raising $100 every hand.Was I right to cash out?I was getting frustrated because if I call I do not have deep pockets.Thank you.
Hey William, yes that's right, make it $6 and then add $2 more per limper like I mentioned in the video. If somebody is going all-in for $100 every hand, I would call with a wider range, especially if I was in one of the last seats to act. I would certainly be calling with TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA, AK and AQ as a starter. Hope this helps, thanks for watching my videos!
I thought it will be in this list chasing your customers away by teaching them or calling them names cause im doing so pretty often
I play with alot off fish should i 20x the blind to get most of them to fold.. $1/$2 blinds..they well call just about anything under $10
If you have JJ and a $10 raise gets 4 callers you need to raise maybe $15-20
Not having a limp-strategy in your game is a huge leak.
I always charge large with pocket iPhones 😉

I'm sure this guy is crushing online play; but you don't get stats like 'folds 70%+ to 3b' offline.
A lot of this content makes sense...if you're using a HUD. IDK; I don't think that makes better poker players; I think it makes people better at statistical analysis that just isn't available live.
I get not limping. I don't limp but raising it to $6 in 1/2 or 1/3 cash games will not do much. For $6 people will play just about ANYTHING. If I can't raise more than $6 I am going to just fold.
😂😂😂I love playing with people like you and loves doing the opposite of what you say and normally free money into my pocket
All well and good, but i would say when it comes to limping it depends on the table. I had tables where 99% of hands get raised anyways, so when i open limp and then reraise i have a ton of dead money and can build a big pot. Way more lucrative then just a 3bb open.
Yea if you have wild players you can trap with limps. Kk
First one 🎉

So limpin isn’t pimpin?!
I randomly ran into this baity title and got curious and watched 3 minutes.
Your advice is way too generic at best man. Poker is not black and white. There are plenty of spots where the optimal actions are mixed. I don't even get n9, why are we talking about leading when we are the original raiser? What are the positions and stack sizes involved? All of that changes massively what you should do including some cases where its perfectly reasonable to x/r tptk.
If I’m playing a cheap game with bad players, I feel like there’s no harm in limping a bad hand just to see a flop. Most of the players aren’t good enough to re raise pre flop so I’m just paying 25-50 cents for a chance at a lot more if my 2-3 off suit some how hits a straight on the flop. Whenever I fold a horrible hand it somehow always would have won me a bunch of money if I stayed in

If u play in Tournament style....non of this works, in Cash Games yes this is very good video.....but for Tournament style, people limp and raise with all sorts of crap and they will hit stuff with hands that a normal player would fold. I kno a guy who will raise with ANY 2 suited cards.. and he hits all sorts of BS...flushes, straits, 2 pair , sets , trips he's just generally very lucky. Im on the other end. I play only premo hands and hit the flop maybe 1 out of 5 flops...not 1 out 3. ..but thats because for some reason I just don't get that luck like I see other players get. I'm staying positive, but so far it never fails. I lose on the River more than anything 🤷♂️
