Nearly all my life! I started when I was around 10 years old or so and that was almost 50 years ago now. When my family gathered we played poker. Usually a ring game of dealers choice, real money but low stakes (to a kid any money is big stakes!). Everybody joined in the game from my great grandmother to us young kids. Back then NLHE wasn't a game anybody played that I knew. So I learned "general poker" not NLHE. Variations on 7-card stud were the most common games called, but low-ball, 5 card draw, and others got played often. I also was part of the Full Tilt poker boom in the mid-2000's. Poker is in my blood.
I been playing for about 7 months.. I downloaded the pc app about 2 months ago and realized I didn’t know nothing and was giving away all my money 😡 I’m coming back for all of it and a lot more! Thanks to you and your team! 🙏🏽
The concept of 4 & 2 😊 I remember reading this in Phil Gordon’s book back in the day - even though GTO & Exploitative strategies are rampant today, those old school fundamentals are still valid today. Good recap Lexy G 👏🏾
This is a nice explanation of a lot of solid concepts. The only thing I'd say is the c-betting part should maybe have three different types of boards. I think it's fine to continue less often for bigger sizing on wet boards that have a lot of draws, but the wettest boards either shouldn't be continued on or it should be incredibly small, even though you're not doing it often. If you 3-bet pre and get called by the button and the flop comes 89J all spades, you almost certainly shouldn't continue and you definitely shouldn't take a large sizing if you do.
I've been playing small stakes for over 10 years and this was still useful! Memorize the odds vs equity! Good advice about when to continuation bet and what size.
For preflop charts, such as the utg chart you showed, people should also include a few mid suited connectors as bluffs as well… not just ace4/5 and some offsuit broadway. It’s important for you to give yourself board coverage regardless of position. If you’re utg and j9s, 10 9s, 78s, etc, and are called or 3 bet by the button or blinds, you can call. And if you find a piece of the board against the button or cutoff 3bettor, check all flops to his range advantage and then raise his inevitable continuation bet. Many won’t give you credit for hitting the board and you can up your win %. Don’t go crazy, but the last thing we should be doing is allowing our opponents to have access to our preflop percentages… and if everyone follows the same charts, it makes it much easier for an opponent to range find you.
I thought my raise with 54 suited was legitimate on the button. Short stack big blind called with K5s. some of the other players looked at me like wtf was I doing?
Sounds like your raise was to small. Or you should have just called, And don't worry about how people look at you. You are a student, And they wouldn't be like "wtf " if you flopped the nuts. Always consider what the stack sizes are before you take action.
The vast majority of situations are automatic for experienced players. That said, I've never tried playing 20 tables. But you can definitely go hours at one table without really having a unique enough situation that it really requires much thought.
Still.....4 tables is easy, 8 parallel tables already will lead to mistakes (mix up reads or hands, or just hitting the wrong button). 12 will guarantee that you won't play good at all of them. 20-30 tables in parallel - recipe for disaster.
It's a basics video. The point is that good hands and good draws can continue, medium hands shouldn't (bad players love betting bottom and middle pairs aggressively and value own themselves constantly) and medium draws should usually check-call and garbage hands can often just give up at low stakes. Top pros against top pros aren't just betting all their value, check-calling all their middling hands and giving up on the pot with garbage - they'd give up way too often, but low stakes are different. You don't gain anything from finding creative bluffs against 1/2 players who can't fold a pair.
@@Jermo484 You will be amazed of how often u can manipulate with both value and bluffs at low stakes. Again the most important point is to adapt to the player(s) you are against. Table dynamics, stack size and on on on…
I really wanted to watch this one. But you said "you know" 8 times in the first minute. If I knew i wouldn't be watching an instructional video, ya know?

How long have YOU been playing poker for? 🧐
since 2008!

Thank you....now I understand a little bit more poker.
8months 😅

An absolute gem! All steps are soooo concisely outlined!! Thank you for going back tot the basics, never underestimate the fundamentals 👏🏼

Amazing video and content from Lexy. Definitively saving this for later.
This is just what I was looking for, great video.
Lexy's a GREAT teacher
As someone who just got back into poker since Black Friday, this was great!

Do you think that when you master those basics it is possible to be a winning player on the smallest stakes online already?
❤ your work keep up the content
When you add A4 A5 on rfi charts you talk about balance. What do you mean by adding those hands for balance?
Thanks great video
Great stuff Lexi as always oh and less Bob more Lexi
excellent video
Thanks lex!
SUPER VIDEO ❤❤
Thank you
checked
How does one join the EPT? Do I just have to get filthy rich and then be able to go on these crazy pokerstars cities to play?
Hand equity for pot odds calculation is not really useful in tourneys... You want to win today, not be on the green after a 1million hands.
This is unequivocally not true. You still have to think about torurnaments in the long run you just have to put in more volume
I thought my raise with 54 suited was legitimate on the button. Short stack big blind called with K5s. some of the other players looked at me like wtf was I doing?

20 - 30 tables at the same time........ how on earth did you even have time to think about your hand?

Wow. I used to play 9 tables at UltimateBet but it made my eyes bug out after about 90 minutes. 10-20?! Wtf
I just cant think of ways I would play against you lol! To beautiful for me to push you and slow play you...! GREAT WORK!
30 tables! 😅
This is very misleading, especially the hand class. You cant just go saying TPTK is a class A hand. There are so many many factors...!

Cheesy potatoes
Volume is not the answer. Learn how to lose less with the 2nd best hand and win more with the best hand is the key to reduce the variance.

well like if you always knew when you were best or second best then you might as well print money huh?

Lexi doesn’t crunch poker. She isn’t very good even
