In this video, I go over some of my biggest tips for beating low stakes poker. This video was filmed at the Hustler Casino for the Max Pain Monday Meetup Game. I was playing $2/3 no limit; so without further adieu, enjoy the session!

Clarification on some of these tips:
Overall these are some of my tips on how to BEAT low stakes, but you still need to have good fundamentals to apply these tips properly. ALSO, there are multiple paths to being profitable. Ultimately you have to choose a strategy you think is best for you.
More clarification
Tip 1: I’m not saying to buy in as deep as possible (especially if you’re a beginner or aren’t great deep stack). Try buying in around 100 BBs.
Tip 2: Slowly work aggression into your game, and learn how to implement it in your strategy
Tip 3-5: no clarification needed
The fact that you replied to every comment shows the type of dude you are! Congrats man and thanks for the tips, if u remember correctly from your TikTok you have a wife and a kid and i hood in the future you can provide for them while creating the content and making money doing what we all love! Good luck man
Just about to head to bed - thanks so much for this comment man ☺️ Thanks for watching my tiktok as well! Hopefully everything works out and I can live the dream! Playing the game I love and providing for the people I love 😬
So true. Thanks for the replies!
Of course! If you guys take the time to comment, I’ll do my best to respond 😬
Love it, as always!! Wish you would put out more vids. Keep it up, man!!!
Thanks so much! If only I had more time 😅
The PLO bomb pot was such a good lesson about how one does NOT play PLO bomb pots. Your opponent should FOLD to your raise on the flop. In fact, the initial bet was suspect. The AA9 board dominates the action. This is because the hand currently in the lead is likely to remain so. The top board, on the other hand, is very dynamic. A set, ESPECIALLY bottom set, is in danger. The fact that the Ad is still at large is a huge problem too. Any player with Ad and another diamond has a great hand vs your set. In that case you are getting free rolled. You are, in effect, never winning both ways.
Your absolute best case scenario is that you are facing two opponents with an Ace and they are both dead on the top board.
To put it another way... You have bottom set. If there was just ONE board, this hand would be, at best, marginally playable. Now you are going to play this hand for half the antes?
Solid analysis - yeah people have difficulty playing PLO double board bomb pots since most people don’t play them often, so there’s a lot of mistakes I see
Big fan of tip one. And just these tips in general really. Keep up the great content, your drive and ambition inspire me :)
Hey that’s really gracious of you ☺️
Awesome session. Thanks for doing a session and also adding some tips in there. I don't play very often. Usually it would be a 1/2 game. I haven't gone past that but maybe one day. Anyway I appreciate your vlog or as phil hellmuth would say, "the brantzen poker log. That still cracks me up everytime. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! You should never feel pressure to increase stakes. To me the most important thing is to enjoy what you’re doing and not play beyond your means 😬
Thanks for this, hopefully I can implement some in my game. Best of luck out there B.
You’re welcome! Good luck on the felt 🍀
Huge W this session! Great job!
Thanks JB 💪
Seriously my new favorite poker TH-camr
Ayyy!! Thanks so much for saying that! I’m happy you enjoy the videos!
These are great tips. I am working on being a little aggressive on the table and it's paying off. I like watching you play and agree with buying at least 100 BB and you can double up faster.. I only play low stakes 1-3 for now so am still a little careful and feeling what cards are coming my way because players will play any two cards or even with match sticks. Great video!
That’s great! Yeah, it can take a little time to learn the nuances of being aggressive, but it definitely pays off in the long run. Thanks for watching and good luck on the felt!
it does my heart good to see you have this level of success. keep up the good work.....
Thank you so much - honestly, you’re always so positive and supportive, so thank you for that ☺️
Good blog! And nice win man ! 👌🏽
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great tips! Nice win man!
Thanks man!
Cool video, I like the tips mixed in. Would like to know more about "beating th rake" I haven't played in a casino live (just online and home games) and I have been kicking around the idea of trying 1/3 live, but I don't want to get wrecked. Keep those tips coming!
Yeah! The biggest thing to remember is that casinos take money from every hand. So instead of just 50/50 winners/losers, the casino is the biggest winner, which makes it harder for players to win. You just have to be conscious on how much the casino is taking and how that affects game dynamics.
If it’s your first time playing live, you can always buy in a bit shorter. My recommendation for anyone is to only bring to a casino what you’re fully okay losing. And don’t keep running to the atm! If you lose it, you lose it!
Good tips, especially the last one.
Thanks - yeah ego can definitely get in the way of making money for a lot of people
Good advice.
Thanks!
These are good tips. Keep it up man, hope to see you again at Ocean's soon!
Thanks so much - now that I built the bankroll back up to 5/5+, the games in LA are decent enough to play, so I most likely won’t make the extra drive often. If I’m ever in the area though, hopefully I run into you!
@@BrantzenPoker I hear you man, I need to make my way up to LA and play more at Hustler / the Bike as well.
Hey Brantzan loved the video. It nice to hear your thought process behind each decision behind the hands. It was a pleasure playing with you on clubgg today my player name was Seb Lim. Hope your channel grows
Awesome man! Yeah fun playing with you too. Thanks for watching 😬
I think I would also have checked the straight where the heart draw gets there on the river. Nice win man! Thanks for uploading :D
Yeah, not a great river there. And of course! You’re welcome ☺️
Great video. Subbed. Cheers from The Netherlands
Cheers 🍻 thanks for watching and subscribing man!
The Brantzenlor was awesome 👌
Hahaha 😂 I’m glad you liked it
The 🐐 letting us peek in the window to achieving 🐐 status. Lfg
Hahaha 😂 thanks man
Man you put out great content.
Thanks! I’m glad you like it!
@@BrantzenPoker would it be possible to send you a message on Instagram or something I would love the opportunity to chat with you
I was trying to block your driveway when you reminded me to like 👍
😂😂😂
You did the right thing
Thanks - appreciate it man
Smart video bro
Thanks man!
Hey, new subscriber here, looking forward to future vids. I see you climbing the ranks.
Thanks so much! I’m about to go full time with poker and content, so hopefully I’ll be able to climb higher and higher!
fantastic video as always! very practical advise for lower stakes. I'll be sure to use them against you if/when we are at the same table at the Gardens. heheheh
we also all have a love/hate relationship with guys like "Hus" when they are at the tables.
Thanks! Haha using my own methods against me - Or use the knowledge to try and exploit me! 😂
Thanks for the comment - and yeah haha he was great for the game, but when he bought in for 8k and was going serious, I knew it was time to leave 😂 don’t wanna push my luck too far
After every hand/pot I win or lose, I'll just say stuff like "that one was tip 3" or "tip 4 didn't work for me on that one" 🤣😂
@@Hubadub-cr1bc hahahahahha
thank you!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Nice run Brantzen!
Thanks! Always appreciate your comments 😬
@@BrantzenPoker 👍
WHOA?!! Didn't even notice 6K 🤯 great job man 👍👍
Thanks so much! Always appreciate your support, from the beginning 💯
Great video, I’m a new subscriber
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 welcome to the channel, man!
The Brantzenlor LMFAO
🌹
You inspire me to play more poker, and I don't know if that is a good thing lol. I used to only play till midnight on New years and play with candy after halloween.
Haha well definitely only play with what you’re completely okay with losing 😅 I don’t want to send you off the deep end lol
I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite channel on the Citadel.
Thank you commander 🫡

Excellent set of tips - probably the one about ego most important. Btw, I think you're a little too quick to check back value hands on the river. I know *you* might not call with worse, but lot of other people would. I try to make calling ranges the other person's problem.
I understand that against a toughie like Hus you don't want to get check-raise bluffed off the best hand. But against most players, when they check the river, your decent value hands are mostly freerolling a bet. Go for it.
Thanks for the compliment on the tips. As for the checking back value hands - definitely a recurring issue with the two of us 😂 I guess I can be a little stubborn with this topic, and can definitely work on this part of my game. It can be tough for me since I’ve had decent results overall. But perhaps I AM leaving value on the table overall. Thanks for your comments and suggestions; they’re definitely something for me to at least think about 😬
@@BrantzenPoker Hey, you gotta play your game, and I have no doubt you have good results. But more is better. Particularly in the high rake SoCal world, you want the few pots you play to be huge. That padt river bet, even if it's just 50-60% psb, I'd a big number.
Thanks for always sharing your input and experience, Lee
sup, I’m Huss, haha first time on a poker vlog
Huss, the MVP of the vlog 😂🍻
Hus played you saying he was gonna limp reraise hoping someone would try to trap, so he gets to see a cheap flop with his trash and bust someone. It would’ve worked too had you not got lucky. These guys seem crazy, but they’re not all dumb, they know someone will try to trap them eventually.
Played in a game where someone was making ridiculous raises everytime a splash pot was played (casino added an envelope with a mystery prize to the pot) This guy finally checked his option once he saw everyone limp, and this later allowed him to raise future pots with legit hands in order to get action
Yeah Hus was playing crazy for sure, but by no means did I think he was a dumb player. I was pretty cognizant of how capable he was, and also that’s why I made that comment to him. I was pretty sure I was behind, and I let him see a flop for cheap. At the end of the day, it was too hard for me to fold my aces with the amount of money he had left, and I just got lucky
oh shit i forgot all about the rake. that must suck. i guess we are spoiled here in Dallas Tx. TCH. good shit kid
Definitely spoiled in Texas 😂 I pay so much rake in California
@@BrantzenPoker what is the rake? In Tampa it's $5 plus $2 jackpot drop and if we run twice they get us for an ADDITIONAL $5 to cap out at $12!!!
The Lodge is $10/hr and I can't wait to move to TX next week!
@@PokerJeezus I believe it’s a $5+$1 drop on the flop? Not positive, but typically it’s $6-$8 flat on the flop around Southern California
Always remember 3 X last bet plus pot for plo. Dealer should know that...🤔
True - but I think she only deals NL
2:20 missed opportunity for 9 high like a boss clip
😂😂
Bro, you still plan on playing at the Gardens?
Yeah - I play there almost every weekend!
To figure out the pot in PLO it’s 3X the last bet +the trail +the pot
Playing with the main man himself at the Gardens Casino California!!
Ayyyy!! Thanks for the beer 🍻(I think that’s you)
that is some bigs hands lol
Definitely a lucky session 😬🍀
Plo: triple the last bet then add the remaining either/ both bet on that street and what's in the middle. I believe you had 70 in the middle. Guy bet 45. So 45 x 3 = 135 + 70 = 205. That's your max raise.
Perfect - thanks for the explanation!
Wasn’t the bet 55?
It’s 3x the last biggest bet plus the trailing bets/or the pot
In this case it doesn’t matter since you had put the dude all-in anyways and you covered him, but you guys forgot to add the existing pot to the 165
So it should have been 235…why didn’t the dealer know this?
The reasoning is, a pot sized bet will always give the last bettor 2:1 pot odds. In your example, he must call 180 to win 235 + 55 + 70 = 360
@@ececec13 the reason was because we were playing NL, but we’re doing PLO bomb pots on dealer changes so this dealer didn’t know how to deal it since it wasn’t something she normally does
Getting slightly jealous hearing how that guys name is Rigo. On the downlow, I Kind of wish that was my name.
That’s funny, on the downlow I kinda wish my name was Gardner
My tips, find a casino where you can get an alcoholic drink for a $1 tip.
Sit down and buy in for the minimum, drink as much as possible whilst folding all hands!
Once happily drunk shove all in blind, and then leave!
Ahahahaha I approve 😂😂😂
Yeah, those deep pocketed players are always trying to bump the stakes and put others out of their comfort zone
There was a group of guys in Tampa who organized a 6 card PLO game listed as 1/2 with $5 straddle and unlimited restraddles
Max buyin was 1k but the three of them would play nutso early so they'd all be sitting with 6-8k and could just pound on people
Yeah - tough playing a deep pocketed good player in deep water
@@BrantzenPoker or a deep pocketed player that just doesn't care. They can 30/70 you all day until they bust you
The pot sized raise is 3x the previous bet plus the trail
So 3x55= $165 PLUS the $70 in the pot for a raise to $235
Perfect - all I knew was that $425 was too much 😂
@@BrantzenPoker now if he bet $55 and there was a caller inbetween you have to add their $55 so it becomes $290
@@PokerJeezus makes sense
@@BrantzenPoker pretty sure that’s not the correct answer. calculating plo pots= the amount in the pot + opps bet + the amount you would have had to call. So $70 +55 +55. Which is $180. The 3x + short cut is for preflop
@@anthonyp5863 haha I have no stake in this debate as I’m completely inexperienced in PLO 😅😂
What’s up Brantzen
Haha just busy with life 😅 how are you?
@@BrantzenPoker just trolling everyone’s intros today, how’s the family doing? More family interaction could help the vlog popularity I think. But keep doing you that works just fine too bro. Thanks for the reply as always and have a great day.
@@Matthew-gg8ep that’s a good suggestion! But my wife wants her and my daughter to be out of the public eye for the most part - so it’s a no go on that for now 😂
@@BrantzenPoker yeah I can see that sure
Shabalaba
97 u get crazy but ace 10 on the button its.m a mediocre hand lmao
My reasoning is that they were much different situations - 97s hand I was just facing a raise. ATo hand I was facing a raise AND a reraise
Lmao if the pot is a hot date
Hahaha
@@BrantzenPoker would you consider the 5/5 game at HG low stakes?
Personally I consider 5/5 the start of mid stakes. 5/5 starts to get a lot more winnable vs the rake, but I do think these tips all apply there. You’ll start to see more 3betting but still people under 3bet, and very rarely are 4bets bluffs
Come play Morongo.
So much longer of a commute though! 😅
It’s definitely not a dream flop with two pair when there’s three cards in a row
haha still pretty nice in a 3bet pot with 67s
R u cheating???😯
My name is Robbi Jade Lew and I never cheat
