Players should be aware that they will probably never reach the “long term.” It takes far longer than you think when you play no limit games and tournaments. This is because your results are heavily determined by a small number of critical hands. You have to play a gigantic number of total hands to reach a sufficient sample of the most critical hands. I’m tournaments, your result will be 90% determined by how about 5 critical hands result.
Hi Jonathan. I'm going through the Tournaments masterclass at the moment. I have a question to ask, the charts you are sharing on the videos and when i go to the tournament charts manually myself to check spots, when i add the same spots some of the results are different. If i can i will add a picture i took to share with you an example of what i mean.
Do you consider ot not jackpot when considering what's taken off since you technically will receive some portion of that back every year in form of high hands etc
Jonathan Little vs. David Williams- Magic The Gathering! Heads-up for rolls! I remember playing in Vegas in the fall and a couple of sports gamblers talking about their optimal Nascar and CFL betting strategies at the table.
I like playing at local bars that do poker. It's a fast moving tournament. The sad thing is you can't play gto because there aren't enough hands to make it a "profitable" strategy, and exploiting is the key way to play. The problem. Is, it's hard to exploit these games since you are almost always going multi way to the flop, and you need to have decent holdings by the time you reach the river in most given situations.
Do u have roadmap for poker ? what to do and what to learn in flow bcoz i am playing well now in 2/5 cash games but i dont know rangers hands and how to play game in BB etc also i donot know about poker software that player use
That's so cool that you mentioned Hearthstone! I am basically coming here as a Hearthstone refugee after having played in the masters tour and getting top 100 in Battlegrounds (sadly they gutted the competitive scene earlier this year). I've already won over 250$ from freerolls and micros, so thanks for the education. Feels weird to be playing a card game and ACTUALLY making money.
Hey random question! Wondering why ace rag suited is a good candidate for a pre-flop 3 bet bluff? I get it blocks premium ace-x holdings (AA-AK-AQ), but if your whole idea is to get better hands to fold, which ones can you get to fold? The only better hands than ace rags other than the premium aces you block are gonna be pocket pairs (you will never be behind against anything else) and I get that a few pocket pairs will fold, but some of the folded pocket pairs you will be flipping with (if your rag is an overcard to your pair) so getting to them fold isn't amazing, and a lot of pocket pairs better than your ace rag will still call. It seems like a nothing bet, it will only result in players folding out worse hands and calling with better hands, including those that dominate you. The only benefit I can think of is folding out some hands which have good playability, but you are ahead of these so it doesn't achieve much. Thanks if you take the time to read this!
I’m general I believe this is largely older thinking. Ace rag bluffs I think are reflected at shallow stack depths where the blocker is more important, but with stacks of 100bb+ you generally want to 3-bet linearly, utilizing more suited broadways, etc.
I can't seem to add a picture on hear. But I'll message an example. HJ vs LJ RFI 40bb deep. On the masterclass it shows A6s as a 3bet but on the charts it says not to play this hand at all. Or how AKs is always a 3bet and AJo should mainly be used as a 3bet.
Omg... I got 1 outter on the bubble of my online poker tournament. I was on the BigBlind with 110bb with top 10 chip lead. UTG raise to 2.5bb and there was 1 limp from LP and I called with T9 suited. Flop was QJ8 rainbow. I flopped the joint and checked. Late position bet 4bb, I raise with a min raise to 8bb. The SB shoves all in with QJ for 50bb and the late position reshove for 115bb with 8's and I snapped call. 2 pair vs set vs straight, and 8's made quads on the river. 😢 what a way to get knocked out😅 glad for your vids.
hi jon> i listen to u say how someone should have a large bankroll- i have disagreements and questions> i think i dont need such a large bankroll- i just need to show up for the tournament- i like your lessons- i try to be the tightest i keep coming in tenth on internet which gets your money bak and not more- 7 1/2 times out of ten i keep coming in tenth percentage> if there is 200 i come in 20th- if there is 3500 i come in 350- i get told i need to bet better but also i want to argue that being tight and coming in tenth percent is good with chance to be better- i should give myself a chance to get lucky- u have tournament experience and lots of cash experience
Thank you so much for these videos, found a major leak in my game because of these vids. Trying to fix it now. Yesterday made it in the money on sunday millions for the first time, all though i was short after bubble and got in with tt just to run on pocket joes, and he hit a set on the flop. But anyways huge respect mr. Little
I'm playing micro sng's at the moment, and I can confirm that the player pool both overfolds massively against all ins AND doesn't shove nearly enough. So... all my winnings are made on and around the bubble by exploiting stack distributions and going absolutely fcken insane. People generally don't know how to deal with it. I'm sure I overjam, but so far it has done me well :)
A little broader than just "going insane". Have to shove on the right stacks and know which players are right. Can't be shoving in early position when there is multiple short stacks in late position unless you have a hand (obviously)
Assuming 10% juice, a 55% sports better would have 5.5% ROI. 55% is doable for sure (you need to be good) and elites can get to 57%+ (which could be 10% roi or more).. I totally agree with everything you said about focusing on poker when playing, and a good sports bettor doesn't have to watch games necessarily anyway, but just saying this because successful sports bettors can make good money (i know one that is very successful and very math oriented and manages his bankroll well, etc).
Yesterday I was playing with 12BB Got KJ clubs in the big blind HJ raise to 3.5BB I called and came KJ9 all ♦️ I check the guy shove all win, I called and lost to KK, that was a bad call or a “okay” call? Also I thought I should go all win pre flop ( would lose anyways)
A good thing to mention is that it is not possible to keep the same edge playing multiple games. You cannot pay attention to everything on 15 tables at the same time. Say you have a 25% edge playing one game. That edge will drop the more tables you play. However this can be made up in volume. If your edge drops to 10% per game times ten games, that's still profitable. The trick is to find the balance point. If you have a 20% edge playing 2 games, or a 4% edge playing 10 games, why play 10 games? You're just making more work and more stress on your brain. This is why tracking software is valuable.
I know that the more you do any complex task, the easier and more automated it gets......but for those of us who have a brain that has not reached that level yet, is there a best player that we can mostly focus on? Examples being, the big stack, lags, tags, players to the right or left of us......etc? My thinking here is that initially, it is best to try and pay attention to everyone, but focus mostly on players that are most dangerous or have the most opportunity for you......and then expand on the players you keep track of mentally as you get better at it. I seem to have an issue with keeping track of everyone. I tend to be aware of who is playing very tight, and focus on what the players 2 left and 2 right of me tend to play like.
12 an hour for rake at 1/2 wtf? My casinos 10% 5$ cap, could be $100 an hour. But my win rate is 50-60 BB/hr I play. About $100 an hour profit in a smaller ish sample size this month that I’ve gone there. Soft game.
Why don't poker coaches follow range charts they sell? Why would I buy a materials package the seller doesn't use themselves? Range charts are good for absolute beginners, but you never see poker pros using ranges in games. They're always trying to sneak one over in their opponent by raising from UTG with 7-3 offsuit. J-4, 10-3, K-2, you see it all the time. So why would I buy range charts that nobody uses? They are the ones saying "use these to be a pro", but the pros don't use them or follow them at all.
There’s no such thing as a “skill game“. The closest you could come to a “skill game” is chess. The best player doesn’t always win in chess. Chess is a performance game. Whomever performs the best will win. Sports aren’t always a performance games because on occasions, one team will perform better than the other and still lose.
Just scrubbing through the section titles to get a glance at whats going to be said, the final few sections just looks like you have lost the plot and just saying random shit lol
Man, all these nonsense about studying and buying books and buying courses.. here’s how poker works and I’ve been playing poker for 25 years ,whatever game you play, cash or tournaments play ABC poker, in tournaments take more risks because of the increasing blinds, make a move every now and then to the opponents guessing and push your good hands max value. And deal with the bad beats as they come
Yeah, but WHY are you making a move when you're making a move. This is why you learn, so that you know why and when so you can recognize a good position to make a move. Poker is a game that comes with no instructions. Imagine getting a monopoly game with no instruction manual. Sure you can figure out the basics, but people with an instruction manual are going to have the advantage. If poker, a deck of cards, came with range charts, odds and outs charts, etc. People would start by playing correctly instead of learning bad poker play by word of mouth strategies.
The best play I ever made was accidental. Opened my eyes to what works. Was down to last 15 players in the tournament. Guy with the big stack and I, about half his stack. I’m on the Small blind. Got 2-4 off. I completed. Flop comes KK2. I accidentally grabbed about ten times what I meant to. SpaZzed and grabbed a stack all sloppy and dropped it in the middle. Guy calls. K on the turn. I grab another way too much stack. He calls. River is a 4. So I improve. I go all in. He folds. Was acting like I was watching the tv the whole time. Point being. Grabbing a stack that without counting is STRONG in the right spot. Especially if ya look like an old nit rec.
Talking about a play that opened my eyes to what having a pair can do. Of Balls. It was ten years ago. If you’d like to play heads up I’m in the Midwest. Call it. Wang.

In my humble opinion nl holdem is far more complex then chess.
Also, you can make more money in larger tournaments. But the problem is now you need a greater bankroll.
Find a game you can beat and play it a lot.
