What I really want in life is SplitSuit to randomly appear once a day and whisper in my ear 'everything is going to be okay'
im not sure i want to know what happens after that
@@mbrenneman0411 can i tell you?
@@tiagomota4734 hmmm, sure why not
Losing in poker because the odds went against you is a GOOD thing overall, it means you're playing correctly. Losing because you fold when you have the best hand is the real bad scenario.
In other words, you must see the bigger picture, Fortune favors the bold. I love poker because it is a great training tool for life. 💪💓👽👣
I'm even proud of myself at this point when I set mine a small pair where I know I'll miss the flop most of the time and exactly that happens. It's not a very disappointing result because I played correctly preflop with good implied odds and playing correctly preflop is a great place to be if nothing else!
I'm also no longer tilted when I fold 55 or 66 in early position and see I would have hit a set on the flop. I feel clever for getting away from a pretty looking hand that will mostly just get me in trouble. The "missed" set is a red herring.
Actually, to win overall, sometimes you SHOULD fold "the best hand" - as you don't know exactly what the opponent has. The key is to make the best EV decision for your entire range, not for your "hand".
He's scared of losing his stack, but probably fine losing 10 BB's 10 times calling 3bets with junk hands to fold the flop.
Interesting perspective
Hey look , i love these idiots....even ppl that are watching this channel for years...most of them are just idiots , not really understanding...its one thing to watch something and another to apply...and fortunatly for some of us the average intelligence is extremly low so we can benefit forever! Videous like this and comments like what the guy said make me so happy and make me smile!
Can you imagine everyone getting it!? Poker would be impossible!!
How many lives do I need to be properly bankrolled to play Russian Roulette?

Depends on the gun..
"Get comfortable losing."
I'm way ahead of you
what do you mean? This is sound advice.
@Allen Albright Yes, that is the difference in meaning that my joke intended to highlight, thank you.
"You felt quite clever righting this up." LMAO!
I’m glad my TH-cam algorithm has finally guided me to your videos. Your videos are amazing - keep up the great content!
"Losing often." So many people think they should be winning every hand or winning every time with a specific hand (AA). Unless you have the nutz (the best hand even if the rest of the cards play out) you have a chance of winning and a chance to lose. I had a new player who was upset that they weren't winning more and I asked him how many people were at the table. He was playing every hand and I told him he was only going to win about 1 in 9 hands, on average and he might do a little better if he was able to bluff. Changed his entire perspective on the game.
The nuts generally doesn’t mean the best hand regardless of what cards are still to come. Otherwise you would almost never be able to say someone has “flopped the nuts”, unless they flopped a straight flush and were holding the high card in their hand or T or higher. So almost all flopped nuts are vulnerable to some extent.
@@nicks210684 Sorry, I'm old. Yeah, the current use of "nuts" is the best current hand possible.
Its just natural to remember the losses. Even after i have a winning session, i could tell you exactly all the hands i LOST way better than the hands i WON. Thats poker!!!
TBH, I needed this. I'm on a recent downswing where I had aces cracked and many overpairs busted by suck outs. Since my poker volume is not high the sting of these losses is more pronounced. I know I got my money in good each time so this video re-enforces that. Keep up the good content!
Yeah, you don’t want to go all in preflop with AA vs KT suited and lose your stack 18% of the time and double up 82%. A much better strategy is to see a flop as cheaply as possible. Then when the flop comes KKT or QJ9 you still lose plenty but when it comes A74 rainbow the player with KT check/folds and loses the minimum. Great poker strategy there. /sarcasm
Hi James, please keep going with the series. I've heard so many silly poker related arguments and would love to hear your take on some of them!
Loved it!! Poker is a logic based game, so correcting flawed logic that is the product of emotion or short sightedness or anything else.. awesome series idea!
I needed this vid. Just got stacked with AA vs 66, flop came A66. On top of that, I was supposed to be on a poker break and just decided to play this one session... I think the poker gods were telling me something. But then Splitsuit reminds me it's all going to be okay. Great vid.
Love love love your reasoning.
80% will always be good enough for me. In poker and in life.
thanks for the video splitsuit! :)
I love this series!
I remember someone said AK is fully optimized by going all in preflop because of fold equity and the difference of seeing 3 or 5 cards is a lot.
yes.
That'd be a really fun player to play against 200 BB deep. You could get away with it 100 BB deep as long as people are willing to call all ins with AQ, AJs, ATs
@@WhatAreYouNew Well, I guess I assumed we were talking about tournaments here and they're rarely 50+ BB deep...
Well explained James. Your videos and advice are always so helpful and informative, please keep it up. How's the baby?
Thanks Jenn! Little Kingston is doing well - crawling around now and super explorative =)
I want to play at Jack's table. I'm normally TAG-ish, but I will now be relentlessly jamming against him with a bluff-heavy range.
Love your content bro :) You have a beautiful mind lol Respect !
Great video. For anyone who finds this sort of thing interesting I reccomended looking at the "framing effect" where the human mind tries desperately to avoid loss, so that some people see "a small chance of losing £1000" rather than "an expected gain of £600"
Framing effect is definitely huge in poker, leverage to your advantage whenever possible.
A runbad "sanity trick" is to tighten up in close spots. You'll lose a bit of win rate, but probably less than you think, and you'll chop off significant variance. You will also chop off some slightly losing spots, your tighter style might throw off your opponents for a while, and you'll get in a bit more volume, so there are compensations.
Now grind away with less "noise" and your true edge in your games of choice will be easier to see. If you run bad, you run bad, but it's easier to handle when you're very certain you are playing well. Winning poker can be made pretty simple. It's good to remind oneself of that fact every now and then, and keep training the fundamentals.
Hope things turn around for you soon!
I enjoyed this video..
You are doing great please continue. I live in Ohio and I can only play only ignition poker which sucks and also ACR which I actually like. Any thoughts on ACR? Just want your opinion and was curious if you knew of any more decent sites. ACR really knocks the rest out with its tournaments and their Sunday structure is the best Iv'e ever seen on any site that I can recall.
I get sucked out a lot! but I can only be sucked out if my chips are in as favorite. Get used to it, sign of a strong game
Yes I'd like to see you do more of this type of video. The mental part of poker and illogical thinking is so valuable. That guy who wrote the email will never win in poker. I don't have to be politically correct like you. It was completely stupid and idiotic from start to finish. Anytime someone makes a comment like every time this happens or something like, I know that I am dealing with a loser. It is such a horrible way of thinking. Great analogy lol with the Russian roulette. Yes, blowing your brains out and losing a hand of poker is equal.
Sorry, your point is definitely valid. He is comparing apples to oranges.
What he isnt realizing is he is possibly playing them wrong 80 percent of the time. Based on his position. To share an example using free online poker apps. Most players really dont play well. But think they do, because it's free money. It's really frustrating when you get those players that go all in with 70 percent of pocket pairs. Personally, I know it's because they suck post flop. You also have to consider your table image. I'm with the player I prefer not getting it all in with aces preflop. So I can kind of read the board. However, if in early position, I can play 3 different ways an potentially win with aces an have no show down. Still winning a decent stack. Using limp a 3x bet or even a min bet. Then reraise any preflop aggression. This can catch ak most lower pairs, as well as giving you more info on what you maybe facing. If I get pocket aces first hand at a table in a tournement. I'm limp call player. Potentially a limp raise, based on bets I'm facing. Or if it's all black or all red. Or one of each. If it's all one color, I'm rarely ever limp raise. Its min bet smooth call.
I look at it as getting your money in the middle of the pot when you have the best odds. If your opponent knew you had aces he wouldn't call with KT. Because the payoff doesn't match the odds of winning the hand. Unless he actually IS crazy.
If you made a bet with someone for $100 if you win, and $100 if they win, and you agree that if the dice comes 1 or 2 they win, if it comes 3, 4, 5, 6 you win. Most people would see that you have a mathematically advantage in this scenario. While you will lose 33% of the time, you will also win 66%. That would be a more analogous comparison of what is means to play poker, hopefully you get it good, and you are on the right side of the math every hand.
I really pictured you as a glasses super smart looking dude lol
If you can't handle Russian Roulette, poker isn't for you buddy
There was a TH-camr who went around asking people of theyiud take bets of various sizes. There were so many people who would refuse to bet $20 on a 50/50 chance to win a $100 bill. It's crazy that their fear of loss outweighs the expected value.
But that's just one bet, right? It's not a fair comparison. If they can have unlimited bets, I can't imagine anyone with even a modicum of sense refusing.
Math is great. Spelling is good too. (Your font in vid... mathEmatically.) (just trying to get you on tilt) 🙈🙊🙉
Split suit made me laugh so much with that answer that I nearly wet my pants,
Everything he said is kind of true
Whatever it is u do in life👍👍👍
James, sometimes I think these players leave too much money on the table with AA and I see too many call HUGE reraises because they get married to those pretty Aces. In short, they win small pots with aces and lose big ones so naturally maybe their win/loss is mathematically correct but they lose 100$ x 1 and then win 20$ x 4..... maybe. Lol
But this is talking about getting it all in preflop. If you do that you literally can’t lose money with AA in the long run. Whereas if you slow play aces preflop, then you can easily end up in the scenario where you lose your stack in the 20% of pots you lose and win the minimum in the 80% of pots where you win.
James, STOP IT. This player is a good winning player just ask them. I want them at every table I ever play. Poker is a scary scary game.
Man I would kill to have that guy at my table every time. XD
Repeat after me "GOOOOD MORNING MY NAME IS!!!!"
If you are that worried about losing with AA preflop when you get it in, just play on Pokerstars and allincashout.
James why is so hard to play low stakes. and what do you do when you make same mistakes over and over again... I know %100 to fold,call or to rise but l do the opposite everytime why is that plz tell me that would be really helpful
Try and figure out what's triggering you to be irrational. Take some notes when it happens about your emotional state, what was going on, etc..
@@jeevanjoshy7388 I start poker by lighting some medatative in sense and getting in the right mindframe before starting. I also like to study opening hand ranges and probabilities and how they play out the day before so I have a rough baseline to start with.
@@ThePokerBank maybe I'm not focused what do l do to get focused plz answer.
@@jeevanjoshy7388 figure out other times you have been really focused and try and add those variables!
Here's one caveat I would add, specific to getting it All-in pre-flop w/ AK(off): Especially at lower-level ($1/$3, $2/$5), live Cash, too many "Young Guns" push it in with AK as a Squeeze-play. Then get all butt-hurt when they lose Coin-flips to under-pairs, and in 3-way, 4-way pots (where they were marginal favorites, but with 35%-40% equity). If you are wagering 100% of your buy-in on a 50ish% proposition YOU WILL LOSE....50ish% of the time.
How would this question apply in games where players are intentionally all in as often as possible and they’re playing for stacks? Super aggressive games where the maximum buy in is the shortest stack and players are often 500-700bb deep? In those games you can win 9/10 hands, and go home without a profit because you lost 1 hand while being ahead
You just take your EV when you get it, you don't get to choose whether you game home winner or loser on the night. Sounds like a great game to make tons of money though.
Just wait for TT+, AK and bring 2-3 rebuys?
Pokémon 9000 that’s been my approach, real profitable to just embrace the variants
I have won tournaments never going all in preflop. Now what?
I remember (*I think*) Shaun Deeb won a tourny without seeing his hole cards. So that could be your next goal!
@@ThePokerBank I don't know about Deeb, but I know Annette Obrestad did win a tourney without looking at her hole cards.
@@ThePokerBank was it a high level tourney cuz if it was that's just impressive
Only reason you don't wanna go all-in pre flop is because you are playing stakes too high that makes you uncomfortable losing. Play 1-2cent NLH I don't think you will have a problem going all-in with AA... ...
My embarrassing story: I was playing NL10 and I was in such a nitty state of mind, that I opened QQ on the button and folded to a regular 3bet from the SB. Once you learn proper 3-bet defense strategy and understand you have to defend at least JJ-77 and AQs, AJs, ATs, KQs to avoid being super exploitable, you gain confidence knowing you're playing a theoretically sound strategy.
I remember when HUDs were catching on among more and more players, and I was still playing my stupid loose, open 20-30% of hands "strategy", people were coming after me left and right with 3-bets. I immediately went from becoming a slightly winning player to having no chance against players with HUDs. I probably had a fold to 3-bet % of 70-80 and was a laughing stock to players on the other side of the screen.
Are we just going to ignore the awesome sig m18 on the thumbnail?
which is a bad choice to play Russian roulette with!
I 3bet 54s vs a button steal and he flatted with AA trying to be slick. Flop came 236. He got stacked. Probably that guy asking.
Why you would flat with AA in that spot I don’t know? Even if you called his 3 bet jam, there should never be a flat there heads up, unless you have KK or QQ and you are scared of running into A rag with an A on the flop.
My guess is that since most everyone at the micros folds to 4bets unless they have QQ+ or AK (personal experience) he wanted to slowplay it to trap hands like AQ, KQ, JJ and extract value from them when they hit a K or Q as top pair. Plus, you won't be able to always shove pre with AA, so you have to be able to be comfortable playing it postflop and even possibly calling an allin without the absolute nuts. Cause you will most likely win with it even if you see all five cards. Just my guess, but I could of course be dreadfully mistaken :)
G3NZC0R1LY I play 50nl. I was joking about it being him but it could be. That hand really happened and the guy went off in the chat box. It was funny. He’s a bad reg with a high tilt propensity. His WR in the hands I have on him is like -15bb/100 and I’m winning at 8bb/100 and he calls me a donk every time I stack him or play a draw aggro and hit it.
lozgod haha nice mate that’s funny lmaooo
lozgod those are the best. You just call all his reasonable bets. 🤣
Hi :) I recently found your YT Channel .. really really awesome content. Thinking about getting your workbooks for sure. They seem amazing to get better! I tweeted you a hand and was really interested in your opinion! Is there a way to send you a hand so that u see it? :) Thanks!
if your not willing to bet when you have the biggest possible advantage a game can offer you shouldnt play the game !
Everybody loves a...CHOPPED POT!
Love that comment, 4-1 favorite, yet you lose every time... That makes statistical sense !!!
That Russian roulette analogy is horrible because the consequences of losing a hand in poker where we went all in pre and the consequences of losing Russian roulette are completely different: Losing a small percentage of your bankroll vs losing your life. Poker isn't easy and we need to push every equity edge we have to win the most $ in the long run.
I disagree with you dismissing this outright, there is a piece of truth in here although I don't think this player described it well. Its also a point that most training sites miss, including yours. The situation he describes is a high-variance situation because he's betting stacks. The odds that are taught only work if the sample size is large enough for them to align. Vegas wouldn't make money on blackjack (0.5 - 2% edge) if it wasn't running through millions of hands a year. The same is true for poker players who aren't semi-pros putting in 40+ hours a week grinding it out. If you're a serious player, yet don't put the hand numbers in, say you have a job and have to play 1 weekend day each week at best, your bankroll can get decimated by taking high-variance lines like shoving all in every time the tables tell you to. That being said, if you are playing enough to smooth out the variance, god yes you're spot on. But I think casual-serious players could be better off playing a more small-ball approach in stack committing spots. Maybe AKo, KK- isn't an auto-jam or call jam in all spots. Also, low stakes aggression tends toward being nutted so much that its just knowing where you are and that your QQ isn't up against worse, or will get called by any A-x premium because ppl are dumb at those stakes - which further ups your variance. It makes me wish there was a guide for "When you cant put in high volume, what adjustments do you make" series, other than the boring as hell advice "tighten up".
But even small ball has some issues: th-cam.com/video/Z19TIK9Alow/w-d-xo.html
If you can’t leave the table without busting out or busting your opponent and you can’t afford to bust out, you shouldn’t play
Is this for children?
Lol what a question.
And Russian roulette kills you or gives you nothing. At a poker table, you make money for every empty chamber.
If at first you don't succeed, then SKYDIVING is not for you....lol
I've only been playing poker for 2 months, and even I'm not really interested in low-level content like this. I guess it's maybe fun to laugh at but I would rather learn something from watching videos.
Go find Johnathan Little at PokerCoaching.com
I would recommend the company he co-founded, Red Chip Poker. Their Core class gives you everything you need to start for $5/week. Extremely useful stuff. Also, Split has plenty of strategy videos; just take a look around his channel some more :)
I would add that Johnathan Little puts out tons & tons of free content. At least 7 TH-cam posts each week. Sample his free content, and see what you can learn before signing any Subscription services.

Imagine the ego you must have for come on the channel, and post a comment like this... If you come here in the first place, i don't think you give an opinion with that kind of certainty.. Give your opinion sure, but give it like it's Gospel... Well, you already have one obvious leak right there.
