Hey Friends! I've started making videos for Pokercoaching Premium, check out pokercoaching.org to get a 3 day free pass!!! Our team there has over $50 Million in tournament winnings and we will help you GET STACKIN!!! Cash Games Masterclasses, Tournament Masterclasses, Mental Game Videos & of course all the GTO Charts you can dream of!
I am another one of those freeroll/penny stakes players who is now finding it MUCH, MUCH EASIER to build up a bankroll on several America-friendly sites, one dollar at a time -- and it is all thanks to the education I've received from Evan and the Gripsed mantra of "Gettin' It Stackin'!!" You have made it possible for (I would imagine) hundreds if not thousands of people to pad their meager incomes in this horrible economy through the game of poker. And in my case as a disabled man with a wife who is also sick and loves me dearly, the possibilities over the horizon just leave me in awe. Thank you a thousand times, bro, and may your tournament luck continue to excel.
The goal was 100k reached and teached and I'm blessed that we reached that point earlier this month. I'm also blessed that I now have the opportunity to reach even more people!

you want to bet the same size whether bluffing or value betting, but since you should have the goods more often than you have a bluff, overall you'll be gaining value by going with the larger bet size.
If they will fold second pair to a 2/3 pot and you normally value bet that amount on the river with top pair+ you can add that bluff if you have a good enough read to put them on a weaker holding
Evan, thank you for sharing your vast poker expertise and real world poker perspective. When you are not stacking and have some time, please do a video on poker game theory and it's use as a strategic tool. Filtering the signal from the noise, please give your observations how game theory can help catapult your game to the highest stacks based on your perspective. Secondly, please go into your theory of bluffing and some advanced level bluff moves new players can add to their tool chest, from timing to proper bet size for bluffing. Keep staying on the leading edge of poker strategy reinforcing the words of Chip Reese, that the best views are always found out on the edge. Bravoo!!!!!, U.S. subscriber.

Evan love the videos! Another key concept that always helps in picking the perfect bet size is having a solid read on your opponents calling ranges. If you have a nitty opponent that is giving you action you can often assume that he has a stronger hand range and will call a larger river bet. If facing a loose opponent that has a wider range you may want to choose a smaller size for your value bets to get called more often. As always board texture can help a ton in narrowing this range.
I don't know what limits you are playing but the micros and low stakes it's normally enough to worry about maximising with the best hand then it is to worry about bluffing too often (it still pays in the right spots) so getting that sweet spot on value betting is still much more profitable at the lower limits
Evan what i do not understand is, and this might sound silly, on elastic ranes if we value bet the maximum we think hes gonna call, how is it ever possible to bluff correctly i the exact same spot? Or is it for balancing purposes
I've watched your videos, they are no different to the other million players that are losing and make all the excuses for their results other then questioning their own play or the odds. You're at the right place to work on your game though these videos are a good foundation for learning
Hello Evan.I am a guy who saw most of your videos.I was not a subscriber because i didn't have a youtube accoun[i will sub now].But i will be honest with you i'm pissed.Most of the things you say i figured out on myself grinding long hours [zoom ]putting myself in different spots time and time again experimenting diferent things.You are just handing free information and making the micro fields tougher making things hard for guys like me.The less smart can t inovate by themselfs,but can immitate
What confuses me with bet sizing is pricing opponents off draws when we flop what is likely to be the best hand at the moment but we don't know if the opponent flopped a good draw. I may be inclined to bet close to the pot if a draw is possible to price them out, but with no physical tells do I just do this every time there are two connected cards on the flop or 2 to a flush and only 1 opponent? Clearly not. Any suggestions on how to think about these spots?
I see that this video is mostly geared towards sizing bets to maximize expectation, and I understand why you would want your bluff bet sizing to mimic your vbetting sizing in order to be less readable. That said, I like playing HU where you often have to cbet and double barrel without a strong hand. Due to the higher frequency of 'bluffing' HU, should I still have the same philosophy? I've been wondering about how to size my bets in these situations and how/why I should be varying sizing.
I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!! The new cash game masterclass there and the course with Jonathan Jaffe will blow your mind on the bet sizing topic (and help you out A TON)
spaz equity is when people go off an make a random bluff. it's when they tilt and put a lot of money in the pot with a hand they otherwise wouldn't. For more info on equity vs expected value check out this article: www.gripsed.com/strategy/equity-vs-expected-value
Hey Evan. I have really enjoyed your vids. I liked this one in theory but would have preferred some more specific advice for bet sizing certain situations. In particular when trying to induce a call. It took a bit to understand the elastic-inelastic hand ranges. I would prefer phrase like unstuck-stuck hand ranges. Gotta love when the Villain is stuck. Get Stackin!
Cheers Darrell, happy to have been able to help. btw, I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!!
If someone will call a full pot bet with second pair the you can't do a 2/3 value bet bluff if you think they have enough to call you even if you might bet 2/3 with top pair+
I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!! They've got charts and everything you need for sizing 3-bets and choosing the optimal hands to do it with.
Oops, if there is no chance of them folding then any size bet is a bad bluff. It's still gotta be based around the reading of his range. But if you wouldn't bet what you are repping any higher or lower then that's the bet size to make when you don't have it
Lighting a fire is different to poker. If you don't understand the theory behind why you've seen someone make a certain play then you don't know how to react when the hand doesn't play the same. If people care enough to get into the theory then they are bound to make for a tough game. I played for 4+ years donating my money at the tables before I even cared to look for the info. Also when people release info on almost any subject it's for a financial gain. Knowledge is money in any field.
If no info was put out whose to say the boom would have even happened. People won't want to play a game with only the elite. I'm sure those elite players thought the big profits in poker where gone as more and more info came out over the years but there's still good money flying about.
Thanks Gripsed.. .. i'd love to chat and talk theory if u need a poker buddy.. I dont work .. and am literally a poker nut.. and not dumb.. and would NEED hardcore budy to help make vids, write books, all kinds of ideas
Bet sizing is one of the most important skills of a successful player as it's where you have the most flexibility. These days knowing when to bet isn't enough, you need to know how much to bet and why. buff.ly/1GP54wG
Another question, won't betting as much as possible whether bluffing or for value vs inelastic calling ranges yield the same outcome? Seeing as how you want your opponent to call when you have the goods and fold to your bluffs, this seems counterproductive. If you're betting the same in either scenario, won't your opponent call in either case, making bluffing inelastic range hands a losing play? I'm probably not understanding something here, what am I missing??
Tom Smith He is saying you should balance your value bet lines by betting your bluffs the size you would make your value bets instead of the inverse. If you make your bluffs all a different size than your value bets that will be easy to spot. If you make your value bets sized to your optimum bluffing size you lose value on your value betting range which is more than you gain from bluffing an optimal size. Also how often you will bluff this particular player will also be a factor. Say you are playing a bunch of weak tight people that call too much pre and fold all the time post flop you may do the inverse because you are bluffing more and adjust your value bet size to your bluff size. In general however what he suggests is better because you will make more money betting for value than bluffing most of the time.
The information has been out for YEARS. If you're beating the games be happy that more information is easier for you to find. The curve of skill level is expected. You have weak(er) players at most limits up to the sky, go find them....
How am I a losing player when I have never deposited? I withdrew 3 times on PS's without depositing...How is that a losing player? F***ing ignorance is not something your lacking
YEA......let me tell you something you might not understand.,,The less smart can't innovate but can immitate''.That's the most important sentence in my last post.Just show someone how to make a fire and you will see that many more with learn.The ones who in the past frooze can now make a fire.THE MORONS who got the information out[Brunson first one] rewarded indolence of the mind and began to work harder for what in the past was easier.That philosophy is to hard for the masses to understand.
ABC poker still makes money, if the fields were that advanced because of all the info out there it wouldn't be. I was a losing player for 4 years because I made no effort to work on my game. Nice overuse of the work intelligence you must be super advanced. No need to waste your time bring yourself down to the level of the others that are greatful for the info others take time to put out, cya
All you guys who train others and write books and all this stuff are just cutting the branch beneath your feat.You guys are willingly making things harder for you.Bad players will always be around but at the higher limits it will be harder and harder you ain't to blame as much as others,because in 2013 the information is all over the place.I just can't understand how you guys are sharing your secrets and destroyng the game.
Poker is emotional inteligence, psicholgy and gut..You have been losing 4 years in a row couse you lack some of the above mentioned.......Theory is for the theory inclined.I sense you like having the last word so I will let you have it........Peace.The key words.......EMOTIONAL INTELIGENCE.U lack it.Meditate on this one.......Adiosssssss.

Lmao I have a 2:1 bluff to value bet ratio cuz I’m impatient
If they will fold second pair to a 2/3 pot and you normally value bet that amount on the river with top pair+ you can add that bluff if you have a good enough read to put them on a weaker holding
thanks man, hoodies coming soon!

Thanks for subbing mate, you helped us reach 100k subs.
Hope you've still been doing well on the tables.
I not sure of a deviation, but you always double hard 11. (if you can double)

What is meant by expectation and spaz equity?
spaz equity is when people go off an make a random bluff. it's when they tilt and put a lot of money in the pot with a hand they otherwise wouldn't.

The biggest loss to online poker has been no USA players in the player pool. That effects more then a few YT videos
gotta have all the gears ;)
