Old man coffee here. I've been a consistent winner for over thirty years but the game has changed a lot since I began playing and I've learned to respect how younger players are applying new strategies to great effect. This particular video taught me very little but it did reinforce much of the fundamentals I learned decades ago, that are too often lost on newer players. As the game has changed, too much of what should be fundamental is lost on more some of the younger more sophisticated players that too often attempt to play their way out of marginal situations where they would be better served check folding. Such play is not a license to print money but it is license to protect your money when you don't have the goods. That being said, I think this particular video shares some scenarios that players at all all levels should learn and apply to their game. Great video Johnathan but I wish you had kept these gems hidden.
Yes but most who watch JL are already watching him. A lot of people waste time exchanging crappy posts on reddit about gto solvers without seeming to understand the fundamentals instead 😂
@ gto isn’t important till you hit 50 or 100nl. You can win without studying solvers. I agree, people obsess on it when all they need to do is pay attention to JLs teachings :)
Maybe. But if you flat JJ and the flop comes 77T you are not limiting the damage of losing to AA-QQ when 3 betting pre-flop, getting 4 bet and calling... same result.
4:30 I think Jonathan is not entirely correct with his assessment. You don't want to simply mimic the solver output, particularly in lowstakes games where equilibrium shifts due to certain tendencies and mistakes made by recreationals. Consider that recs open too wide, don't 4bet enough and call too often vs a 3bet. Then all of a sudden AKo/JJ 3bet purely Button vs UTG. If you're up against a solid reg, you move closer to the optimal solutions presented. Otherwise you're just tanking your own EV.
8:41 easy small bet...sometimes the opponent folds and maybe (if he checks the turn) you get a free flush draw on the river...in your example...if he re-raises...he has a Queen or is looking for a straight.
Hello Mr. Little! How do we play on the river after the check/call on the turn with AK? Do we check/fold the River? I mean the hand where we had top2 on the flop and the turn 10s which completed straight and flush.
Completely disagree with AKo hand on turn. 10spades is really good card for range, only sheds our nut advantage, hence I think we should b33 or b60 with most of range (never big bet). Also if we get raised we have a v easy fold - spot is so under bluffed, villain filters on flop & v unlikely they raise like KQo with a spade or something given our aggression. Compare this to check, if villain bets big - this is a really BE spot, because they have some merges now like KQ or KJ randomly splurging as well as flushes - putting our hand into call turn fold river mode - which is basically never a good thing & a far lower EV play than the bet option we have - remember, villain still calls us with worse 2 pair, AJ etc so we easily have the equity requirement.
I completely agree. I would bet and see how they react, as they can easily have worse pairs. If we get raised we could fold. If we check on the turn it could be seen as weak and allows BB to semi-bluff/bluff. The odds of them having suited hole cards in the same suit is only 12-15% so I don’t see why we are not betting.
I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
This is why you need to have not many limpers in the pot. If the hand is 5-way you are never realising your equity with second pair. You can't lead into a 5 way pot and checking for pot control means you are definitely getting out drawn.

if there was 1 video JL has made that i would say would make the games significantly tougher, this is it. All students just got much better haha

Never put your tournament life at risk with KJ unless you’ve already hit the board hard
Or a million other situations preflop.
Man does this come at a good time lol
Is that how you play? You call with King Jack? This is disgraceful. You are a professional player.
And you’re some random nobody.
Lol he made >9mio playing poker... don't feed the troll
It's a well known needle by tony g. You guys are mad at a guy making a reference lmao
