When I started playing poker I always went wild before the bubble burst, just went after nearly every blind. By the time someone dared to oppose me I had usually already doubled or tripled my stack so I could take a hit, sometimes I happened to have the better hand or just lucked out, making my already large stack even bigger. I won several tournaments with thousands of players this way. Then I started studying poker and I thought I was being too reckless, but I can tell you I have never since been close to as successful as I was back then so I have started to play more aggressive again. I think that most people dont play properly when they are in fear of losing their tournament life and that is something you should take advantage of.
Unrelated question: Should you stop mixing when you know your opponent is unbalanced? I was commenting on a hand where villain open limps from EP, hero raises IP from CO with AA and villain calls. Heads-up, the flop was middling connected cards (T97 rainbow) and villain checks to hero and I said 'here we shouldn't c-bet very much because we don't have the nut advantage, but I don't mind mixing with AA'. Someone responded, 'villain is not playing close to GTO, so we shouldn't mix at all'. What do you think?
watched this video, and for the first time in ages made it to the final table. Didn't realize how tight of a player I was. just a few well timed bluffs and 3 bets (and some luck at showdowns) and it was surprisingly successful. Thanks!
I know that's one of my problems, I'm to tight. I run deep in tornys but unless I get lucky I'm quite often a short stack come the final table 🤔 if I make it.
Thank you so much for these great tips! I regularly cash at tournaments however I have never won, I now realise that I am playing way too tight on the bubble and overvaluing a min cash! Will definitely put these tips to good use. Keep up the great videos!
G'day Jono, another highly valuable coaching video. I must say, you have made and are making a very positive impact on my poker journey. On behalf of all of your students, thank you very much.
Overall I agree, and I know I successfully struggled to learn these lessons the hard way before improving a lot. But on the flip side, I learned an equal amount from playing "survivor" tournaments where 10% of the field gets paid exactly the same amount regardless of stack size when the field reaches that size and the tourney ends. While a survivor tourney might give you exactly the bad habits this video tries to correct, it also shows you the incredible number of mistakes people make by automatically being overly aggressive in spots where it's not only unnecessary, but absolutely risks their tournament life in spots where they CAN coast into the top prize. In one survivor tournament with Will "The Thrill" Failla, someone shoved into his KK when he could coast to the win. He agonized for only 20 seconds, said "I'm the only player here who would ever fold this" and showed the KK as he folded. I laughed, looked at him, pointed to our two big-enough stacks, and he said "OK, two players here would fold it". I cashed in 1/3 of all the survivor tourneys I played. It sometimes teaches you who is a thinking player and who is on autopilot. It sometimes teaches you how to build a stack while you can, how to establish a table image to help you when you're card dead. It sometimes teaches you how to hang on by your fingernails for longer than you think possible, which can apply to laddering up in a real tourney when that has more EV than going for the win, due to your small stack and the dynamics between the bigger stacks. It also teaches you about situations where a smart big or medium stack will want to keep you around and even almost feed you chips, if it helps them abuse other players and force them to play hands rather than wait for you to be gone and ladder them up. Last but not least, if you play both cheap and expensive tourneys with the same pool of players, it pays to be more nitty at the cheap tourneys, so that in the expensive tourneys, your image carries over there, and you can have extra fold equity anytime you need to run a bluff. Especially because most players do exactly the reverse, splash around for small money and nit up for big money.
I watched this vid and another one before a tourney and won it using your different levels of stacks = different levels of aggression and when to play and not to. Appreciate you!
Going to try the first tip a bit when I play next. Don't have much of an issue getting to, or atleast close to the money most of the time, just can't seem to get there with a big stack often enough. It however has atleast given me enough practice at nursing a short stack haha.
Hi Jonathan. I tried to re-raise every time i got those hands, and i was about 35% of the time in the pot, not quite every hand or something like this, but the thing is very soon folks at the table started to realise i fuck around. What you do when people at the table starts to get your game, what do you recomend?
Jonathan, it seems interesting that these charts say to 3bet A5o, but not A6-A8o when you're in BB to a Button raise. @8:40 It seems like those 3bets would be just as profitable in reality vs theory.
Is this video focused on 6player tables, and do i thighten in 9player tables? Also do you think this strategy works in low stake $0.50-5.00 online tournaments? I'm a novice thx cool video!
You tend to espouse significantly smaller 3bet sizes IP and OOP than pretty much any other training authority I’ve found. It would be interesting to hear an exposition on the reasons for that disconnect.
I thought 4X was standard but add 1bb for each limper plus 1 bb for OOP. Jonathan did say it would be fine to go higher on the A5 8bb/64K 3 bet. Think he said 70 to 80K/8.5 to 9bb.
You should do a video about building crazy castles when you have a massive chip stack lol. Haven’t seen an elaborate creation with a giant stack in a while.
Hi Jonathan. I like your tips I think have a little problem I am so aggressive player I win couple small money tournament s but always want to get to the big ones but I need help
I’m confused between #1 and #2 First said 3 bet more with suited connectors to balance your range and steal pots Then tip #2 with 86s you called the 2.5 raise in position. Are we flatting our draw heavy sneaky middle/low card hands in position? The bottom of our range for 3 betting in position should be T8s or A suited / A9o? 88+? And call with all middle low pairs and fold? I thought the strategy was basically 3-bet or fold, im looking for the situations in which it’s best to call instead of 4x 3 bet Amazing videos thanks
Agree with tips 2 and 3. I'm sure tip 1 can work in some tournaments/metas, but in all my experience of live low stakes tournaments I've found that most players have loose limping ranges but tight raising ranges, so it doesn't really make sense to 3-bet bluff those players because they are always either calling or 4-betting, and basically never folding. Would be interested to hear if this matches other people's experience too. Perhaps the equivalent exploit in those scenarios is to raise bigger and more often against multiple limps, especially in position?
Hi Sam, I can't agree. I play regularly and many fold to a 3-bet. Of course it depends a bit on the bbs they have. At the begin of a tournament they will play. But as you come later and a 3-bet means you loose 10 or 20% of the opponents stack you get many opponents who fold there hands
What would you do as SB with a 3-bet (10BB) bluff like T8s after a 17BB 4-bet by BTN, a player who seems to always 4-bet to low (small sample) but you don't know if they actually 4-bet wider than a ~23bb GTO 4-bet range? (100bb deep, equal stacks, no rake or ante, probably weak opponents or a strong one that is playing very exploitive agains a weaker field).
I'm getting back into the game after 10 years out I've won 3 of 3 tournaments in 2 days and going for a double header tonight concerned the victory might cause a big head tips for keeping it calm live
Man, did you just light my fire. I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing because I do at a low frequency, but now I'm going to increase my frequency. Thanks, Jonathan. I'm not going to be a maniac, but I definitely comprehend what you're saying.
I used to play on ignition but now that I use ACR and I can play in BB instead of chips my bet sizings have gotten so much better. It’s a lot easier for me to 3bet a min raise to 6bb in position and then 7bb plus OOP. On ignition I definitely was only making it 5-6.5bb which is absolutely horrendous lmaoo
Please can you analyse this spot for me and tell me what I should do? I raise K9 of diamonds in the CO, the Bb calls, flop is Q34 two diamonds, Bb checks I bet half pot, he calls, turn is a 4, it goes check check, river is the Ace of diamonds, giving me the nut flush, bb checks, I bet pot, he goes all in, this is a tight player with very low VPIP, solver says 100% call but is it? Board is Q344A 3 diamonds I have K9 diamonds? Should you call the shove
People don't really fold much to a 3-bet that often. You better have a really strong hand if they call or 4-bet. Sometimes I'd rather have 78s than AK in that spot and hope I smash the flop. If you do smash it you may get all their chips if they have two over cards to the board.
lol. 100%. Im in a tourney now and people arent afraid of 3 betting. Theyll go all in and its like a trigger to make others go all in. This stuff works with conventional old players. With the young blood entering the ranks, they arent afraid at all.
Ty JL Without watching the video 1st I believe players don't look at betting as accumulating chips to build a big stack.. they bet to just win the hand therefore leaving massive amounts of value in their opponents stacks and not theirs. Like how some players are just happy to win a tiny pot pre flop w JJ or AA because they don't want to lose with them. Ty again
I rewatched this two days ago and have gone way deeper more regularly. Being the aggressor pre-flop with more 3betting has won me more small pots and my value bets have been called off way more often. Still a big noob when my marginal 3bets get called or 4bet but oh well
I am a top 10-25 player in about 70% of my tournaments, but definitely feel like I either lose focus or get unlucky towards the end. Online and real life micro to medium stakes
The thing that I had to realize, these bluffs have a much higher chance of going thru than normal. The players who normally call you down with Q-high have hopefully busted out by now.
I play online tournaments and never made the final table. I placed 88th place playing for 5 hours, another time 17th place playing for hours also. Sometimes it’s so stressful bussing out and never making the final table. I’ll try these tips and play a bit more aggressive and see how it plays out for me.
Is this 3-betting advice mostly for high-entry tournaments? I play a lot of low-entry tournaments online and virtually nobody folds pre-flop to anything short of an all-in raise, and even then you can expect to get called about half the time. Pot stealing just isn't a thing in low-entry tournaments.
Same thing with me. I play a $20 daily tourney by my house and there are some degen gamblers that get mad you raised over them and just stick it in with 10 8 suited 50bb deep💀
Good video, but I'm not sure about your JJ versus AK thing. Not because that exact scenario is wrong, but because that's not a realistic thing that happens. At most lower stakes tournaments, no one's ripping it in with 50 bb on the bubble with AK. So even though I'd call with JJ if I knew I was flipping, JJ is definitely not even close to flipping against a 50 bb jam from the average rec tournament player. If YOU jam there, I'm snapping it off because I know you'll play better, but not against players at my local casino $250 buy in tournaments.
I see a lot of people value betting so thinly at my local tournaments. I play pretty standard sizings, but last week this maniac goes all in for about $1125, guy to his left calls, and I just call with A4s flushdraw on the flop. I figure the other guy has at least 2-pair or flushdraw. Frontdoor flush gets there and I value bet $3k into a pot of $3400 and the old guy says "You bet over the size of the pot..." to which I say "Pretty sure I didn't overbet..." and he says "you bet too much, I can't call you even with my flush." And I just laughed my ass off, like how nitty can you be? I'm gonna run you over! Especially with my bluffs. They just wanna see a cheap river and maybe have to debate calling blockbets they are comfortable with.
Generally you want to play TAG/LAG style. Early to Mid Stage = LAG play good hands.... Late Stage becomes higher and fussier.... Early Stages don't bluff alot don't try to steal more.
yeah I participated in a couple of live tourneys this weekend, it was the same thing in all of them. I started alright, then it's just bottom of the barrel hands (72, 73, 82, etc...), and then when something playable comes you wend up getting fucked at the river and losing lots of chips. And when you bluff like he is suggesting in the video, usually blows up in your face too.
You are not drawing dead but playing too tightly in a tournament - on button you should be RFIing 45%+ hands and more than that if 2 passive players in blinds. You should be defending 70%+ of hands in BB, including all suited cards, so you really need to play loose, aggressive poker in tournaments with an ante with bigger pots to fight for.
Why not 3 bet the 86 suited from the button in the first hand? Seems like the first 12 minutes of the video was focused on this, and then you nitted it up with 200 BBs! 🤣
wow.... it works... but AJ amd JJ are bad hands... Final table wait for final 3... then i must learn heads up poker... 2day I won 1 tourny, 2ns in 2 tourny, 2 or 3 bummed out. $200 profit... half days work. 7,7 Million Baby
Ill try it... I have huge stacks 20 min in tourny, then I throw it all away. After breaks, im short stacked and tilting... I do feel this will help,,, 3x to 5x bets or BB raises... Agro, but not to agro... Much thanks Profi. A5, I think, I would fold in BB... 50/50 Not worth the gamble... 330k in chips, out of Position !!!
HI, IVE BEEN STUDYING YOUR YOUTUBWE TUTORIALS. YESTERDAY, USING YOUR COACHING TIPS, I WON A SMALL LOW STAKES TOURNAMENT AT MY CLUB, ROUNDERS HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, I ACCUMULATED A HUGE CHIP STACK AT THE FIONAL TABLE AND WAS ABLE TO BULLY THE OTHER PLAYERS INTO FOLDING BETTER HANDS BY THREE AND FIVE BETTING. THE BLINDS WERE 1K/2K/2K, I WOULD CONSISTENTLY FOUR OR FIVE BET THE BLIND AND ELIMINATED 6 OF THE 8 OTHER PLAYERS AT THE TABLE, EVENTUALLY WINING $640. THE FINAL HAND I HAD A-2 OFFSUIT, I PUT THE LAS OPPONNENT ALL IN HE CALLED, & I ENDED UP WITH QUAD ACES.
Bad advice all the way around. I’ve won 15-20 tournaments though most were smaller but risking twice the amount of the pot as a habit t is ridiculous. In fact, we should play.
This stuff never works. I play 8 hrs per day at least online. These plays will get your stack taken from you. This dude doesn't even play online but gives advice for online games, which are different from live games.
Angry Johnny probably has some good info, no doubt that he copied from someone else, to promote his real-money maker..his amateur coaching empire. But my loss, I guess, I can’t stand listening to the angry copier man…
So you are encouraging people to be fish. Great strategy man. They might be able to build a stack early on getting lucky doing this shit but once things get serous later on if they have bad habits playing like this better players will crush....

I feel cheated…I’m an engineer and I thought this was literally about building tall, majestic stacks.
Hi Jonathan this video is awesome and I love your candor and straightforward manner it’s so good! Learnt a lot 🥂
Always a pleasure to see new uploads from you, coach.
Gr8 video man! Could you please explain what the reason is that you should be blasting on dynamic boards?
G'day Jono, another highly valuable coaching video. I must say, you have made and are making a very positive impact on my poker journey. On behalf of all of your students, thank you very much.

It seems like those 3bets would be just as profitable in reality vs theory.
A5o is bigger than A6o because A5o can form a streight, while A6o cannot.
Is this video focused on 6player tables, and do i thighten in 9player tables?
Also do you think this strategy works in low stake $0.50-5.00 online tournaments?
I'm a novice thx cool video!
The smaller stakes I play the more does agression work before bubleplay. Last night I got to raise 8 times in a row before some one shoved on me.
You tend to espouse significantly smaller 3bet sizes IP and OOP than pretty much any other training authority I’ve found. It would be interesting to hear an exposition on the reasons for that disconnect.
I thought 4X was standard but add 1bb for each limper plus 1 bb for OOP. Jonathan did say it would be fine to go higher on the A5 8bb/64K 3 bet. Think he said 70 to 80K/8.5 to 9bb.

I’m confused between #1 and #2
First said 3 bet more with suited connectors to balance your range and steal pots
Then tip #2 with 86s you called the 2.5 raise in position.

And call with all middle low pairs and fold?
I thought the strategy was basically 3-bet or fold, im looking for the situations in which it’s best to call instead of 4x 3 bet

What do you do when you got pocket Queens and raise then somebody calls you with king 4 and hit the king and keeps on calling you
I don’t understand why Little focuses on 6 handed poker (online) when most games are 8 to 9 handed especially in tournament a
Most online cash games are 6 handed. Also, most 8-9 handed games are effectively 6 handed when the first two people fold.
I rewatched this two days ago and have gone way deeper more regularly. Being the aggressor pre-flop with more 3betting has won me more small pots and my value bets have been called off way more often.

I play online tournaments and never made the final table. I placed 88th place playing for 5 hours, another time 17th place playing for hours also. Sometimes it’s so stressful bussing out and never making the final table. I’ll try these tips and play a bit more aggressive and see how it plays out for me.
Any improvement ?
It never hurts to stack a few wild drunks, though sometimes that requires a hero call, and I hate calling off and being wrong.
86s 3bet in solver, why you call?
Is this 3-betting advice mostly for high-entry tournaments?

win when my opponent folds on the flop? this happens in no low stake tournies i play.
Much more valuable than 60bb charts is 20bb or 30bb 3 betting charts... because that's where even big stacks live after 3-4 levels of most tournaments
I see a lot of people value betting so thinly at my local tournaments.
I play pretty standard sizings, but last week this maniac goes all in for about $1125, guy to his left calls, and I just call with A4s flushdraw on the flop. I figure the other guy has at least 2-pair or flushdraw.
Frontdoor flush gets there and I value bet $3k into a pot of $3400 and the old guy says "You bet over the size of the pot..." to which I say "Pretty sure I didn't overbet..." and he says "you bet too much, I can't call you even with my flush." And I just laughed my ass off, like how nitty can you be? I'm gonna run you over! Especially with my bluffs. They just wanna see a cheap river and maybe have to debate calling blockbets they are comfortable with.
Shoved KK ran into AA. Shoved 55 ran into AA Shoved AA into 66 who rivered a flush.
He said to 3 bet not to shove everything lol
@@SydneyScream down to 10-15 BB in a tournament 2/3 of field already out 3 bet fold leaves me with no fold equity next shove
@@NineInchTyroneso? Rebuy 😄
Was his 66s suited? Happened to me
*That's poker folks*
Wow i just won a live tournament because of this video today! 2300 plus :D Thx bro:D
Generally you want to play TAG/LAG style.
Early to Mid Stage = LAG play good hands....
Late Stage becomes higher and fussier....
Early Stages don't bluff alot don't try to steal more.
How to play when you draw dead for 2 hours and looking from 40bb stack to a 10bb?
yeah I participated in a couple of live tourneys this weekend, it was the same thing in all of them. I started alright, then it's just bottom of the barrel hands (72, 73, 82, etc...), and then when something playable comes you wend up getting fucked at the river and losing lots of chips. And when you bluff like he is suggesting in the video, usually blows up in your face too.
Get your bluff on.
@conorm2524
Yeah I 3 bet 10 9s or a5s then flop comes nothing I keep betting and make it large then get called down with J high.
You are not drawing dead but playing too tightly in a tournament - on button you should be RFIing 45%+ hands and more than that if 2 passive players in blinds. You should be defending 70%+ of hands in BB, including all suited cards, so you really need to play loose, aggressive poker in tournaments with an ante with bigger pots to fight for.
This video has showed me I'm a Nit. 😅 I haven't 3 bet in over 6 months.
“Sixty-nine suited”
Hahhahahhahhahahaha!
Sometimes I build a huge chip stack and lose it back most times with AK, AA, KK trying to knock people out or double up
Saw people folding aa preflop before wsop bubble. Jesus!
Dammit! I thought this was a video teaching me how to keep chip stacks from falling over.
Hahah 😂
Why not 3 bet the 86 suited from the button in the first hand? Seems like the first 12 minutes of the video was focused on this, and then you nitted it up with 200 BBs! 🤣
This is for online tournaments I suppose.

Tough to do when everyone watching this is doing the same thing against you..
currently crushing while watching this video
Nice!
I was confused by the title, thought we were learning how to stack one's chips
High quality
Thank you!
Step one buy in at 1-2
Step 2 shove repeat until you double up
Step 3 ask the dealer to convert all your chips to $1 denoms (they love that)
Not to criticize, but it seems all of your vids are pretty much saying to play a tight range in position.
he said the opposite of that
Ok

HI, IVE BEEN STUDYING YOUR YOUTUBWE TUTORIALS. YESTERDAY, USING YOUR COACHING TIPS, I WON A SMALL LOW STAKES TOURNAMENT AT MY CLUB, ROUNDERS HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, I ACCUMULATED A HUGE CHIP STACK AT THE FIONAL TABLE AND WAS ABLE TO BULLY THE OTHER PLAYERS INTO FOLDING BETTER HANDS BY THREE AND FIVE BETTING. THE BLINDS WERE 1K/2K/2K, I WOULD CONSISTENTLY FOUR OR FIVE BET THE BLIND AND ELIMINATED 6 OF THE 8 OTHER PLAYERS AT THE TABLE, EVENTUALLY WINING $640. THE FINAL HAND I HAD A-2 OFFSUIT, I PUT THE LAS OPPONNENT ALL IN HE CALLED, & I ENDED UP WITH QUAD ACES.
...ah, 2nd place is last loser. Gr8 cast
Since I started 3-bet I been getting crushed

I love Jack-Off suits
Bad advice all the way around. I’ve won 15-20 tournaments though most were smaller but risking twice the amount of the pot as a habit t is ridiculous. In fact, we should play.
The reason most players can go deep sometimes but not win is that only one person can win.
Bro what
The pauses between words makes this hard to listen to. Speak more fluently. Writes your lines down or something
This stuff never works. I play 8 hrs per day at least online. These plays will get your stack taken from you.
This dude doesn't even play online but gives advice for online games, which are different from live games.
...have you not been paying attention?
Angry Johnny probably has some good info, no doubt that he copied from someone else, to promote his real-money maker..his amateur coaching empire. But my loss, I guess, I can’t stand listening to the angry copier man…
So you are encouraging people to be fish. Great strategy man. They might be able to build a stack early on getting lucky doing this shit but once things get serous later on if they have bad habits playing like this better players will crush....
