Marc! I see how these are logical, reasoned adjustments, bravo! I like that they align / agree with the previous videos as well. i.e. #1 with Bet Sizing Hacks, #2 with Playing OOP, #4 with Top 5 Spots to Bluff. Because I take in material better when I read vs. hear it, I've edited your "poker tips" videos into a grammatical, punctuated, textbook format with screen captures. If you want them, you are welcome to them. Maybe it will also help some else. Am I a little nuts? Well, yes!
You've officially taken over as my favorite poker instructional channel! I'm relatively new to the game, playing about 2 years now, I just discovered your content about 5 weeks ago and already having significant improvements in both my $0.25/0.50 home game and $1/3 at my local card room. Great common sense strategy that I can actually understand the thinking behind rather than just endless charts/solver examples, keep it coming brother!
These are adjustments that I recently started figuring out and my win rates have skyrocketed. I am not afraid to bluff a big spot but was wondering how I was getting hero called enough to hurt my stack. Paying attention to spr has been tremendous for me to pull out of the hand because I know the pot size is going to be too big to bluff at on the river. You probably saved me months of playing, simply by telling me to cap my opponent. I didn’t fully understand what I was doing when I was accomplishing that but the way you phrased it just made everything click. Thank you man, your doing the lords work and I hope your channel blows up!
I have been a member of a poker training site since 2019. I have switched my game from MTTs to cash recently. I have found your videos more helpful than the videos that are behind a pay wall. I'm not bashing that site because I have learned tons from it but people learn better from different types of teaching. I find your content easy to comprehend and implement. Thank you for the free content.
I want to say that I don't know what it is about your content/style but in the last week of binging you stuff I've found myself with more understanding and actually putting the concepts into play. I've found myself understanding spots to where I'm returning and replaying hands MUCH MORE than I ever have. It's been nice. There have been some big hiccups along the way but I usually catch something in another video that will bring me back to the hand and see where I went wrong. Then implement the next time and check back. Much love amd appreciation for you!
Just ran across your videos on TH-cam Marc. Love them. I was a clp sub forever. You introduce new concepts like checking out of position w your entire range heads up. I've been trying some of your strategies like this and they seem to do well. I also like the idea of putting pressure on small bets. I did have one hand where I had A7 and the villain bet small on Axx board so I just called. Flop was blank. I checked than she bet big. Not sure what I should've done there. Maybe fold? I called. Than chk chk and she won w AT. Not sure what to do there but I checked tonight oop w top pr a couple times and it was profitable and I liked it since it's different and villains and low stakes are confused and will pay off for ex top pr if they chk back the turn. Anyways good stuff...keep the videos coming. I will say too your vlogs on hands I like and probably the only vlogs I learn from watching. Most vloggers imo are bad players so there's no sense watching them other than how to play bad 😂.
A high boards are really over cbet BTN vs BB. BB defends all suited Ax (and low stakes players defend all offsuit Ax, too). Especially static boards its worthwhile to have x/back range at some frequency. they are great boards to x/r on from the BB with double back door draws, bc BTN will basically auto fold all worse pairs and K/Q high which can print
I like your content a lot! For me personally would be nice if there would also be some tournament content I don't play cashgames but keep up the good work very nice!
Could you please explain how frequently you should be bluffing rivers in general. I understand your approach to betting whole range on flop then range is capped but is 33% river bluffing a fair Overall bluffing frequency in general? BTW new sub love the content!
hello hungry horse poker! I have been following your channel for awhile now and I enjoy watching + learning with every new video. I am 19 attending college with no real set career plan and was wondering if you might have any advice for me if I potentially want to play poker professionally in the future or even just as a hobby. I want to be a winner either way! I play occasionally just with friends and only a couple of them actually think while playing so I don't think it really counts as good practice. I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR BOOTCAMPS! It's stated that it's only meant for those who are active live cash game players that really want to learn how to improve and start winning more... unfortunately I'm not legally allowed to play poker in southern california (except at some specific casinos with tables meant for 18+). Should I wait another 16 months to turn 21 and then start grinding? If I'm committed to learning the theory and logic behind playing strong poker, would you recommend me going out to a future bootcamp even with 0 live cash game experience? Or would it be much less effective and not worth it until I actually start playing?
hey renuu! here's my advice: 1) don't play poker for a living. the ONLY time it makes sense to do this is when you're making so much more money playing than every other possible job you could have that it doesn't make sense NOT to play. you just don't have the data for this yet, so plan on doing something else, and poker as a hobby. if your initial instinct to this response is to tell me to STFU - you've got a chance. 2) start playing online. get reps in, develop fundamentals, work on your game and you'll be leagues ahead of everyone else by the time you're 21. 3) come back to us once you've got some live experience (and you've spent 100+ hours a month in a casino) and you've made SURE this is something you want to do. at that point, the investment will be sure to be worth it.
Hey, Quick question. When i watch your vids it is obvious you have a lot of advanced knowledge on the game. I have done hours of studying myself and watching our vids makes me feel like I know so little and have so much to learn. Where do you get the most value when it comes to studying outside of solvers. Obviously a lot to learn from solvers but you seem to have a ton of exploitative knowledge as well. Was it just being around other people studying, groups, courses, books, youtube vids? Please share, and as always thanks for the vids.
i never studied with anyone else, i never did any study myself til i started node locking / working with solvers to build baseline strategies for hungry horse. i just constantly ask: “what happens if?” and obsess over every hand and every line for days after i play a session. if i won the hand could i have won $20 more? if i bluffed on the turn and they folded could i have gone slightly smaller so they called turn and folded river? if they called my bluff on the river what does that mean next time i have value? and on and on and on. all the rest of it is a waste of time.
what solver would you recommend I get, as someone who has never used solvers? Just for insight, I'm currently playing 1/3 and a winning player who just really started tracking my hours and would love to be able to g full time here once i have the bankroll to feel confident in doing so. Right now just trying to study as much as possible and learn/ play everyday. Still make more money at my full time job as well which is another reason I have not jumped ship to full time.
With the out of position bluff my opponent trapped me with a set on the flop 4510 board I checked with 67 suited which I opened LJ against the button. I checked and surprisingly he checked also turn I picked up a flush draw with it and lead out for half pot and he he just flatted until the river was a 3 spade and I lead out a small bet and no surprise he jam me and I snapped. I guess strategy also depends on the opponent
Marc - off topic question. I sometimes like to 3 bet small on medium strength hands - like 2.5x and see if they flat or 4 bet. If they flat I know they are capped. Any opinions on this approach?
i think i'd prefer to use larger sizes because the mistakes most live players make is they call WAY too much. you're just losing value by using this size, and they still have strong hands because they don't 4b enough. with that being said - one of the strats i like to use in tougher games (say $20/40 with 6 regs, 2 fish) is whenever a fish opens - i 3b my entire continue range small to shut out regs and just get pot heads up IP. very effective for the goal. wouldn't recommend in softer games though.
Do you ever deviate whether to bluff or not based on whether you think opponents are calling stations or if you’re perceived to be an overbluffer (whether you are or not) or an opponent is on tilt and isn’t folding anything
yes. stations are best to bluff rivers smaller because they get there with too much bs. i still bluff tho, just not for the big boy hammer sizes as much.
I have just a quick question... when you make a bet to induce villain to cap their range or to raise their strong shit and call their weak shit, if they raise most of the time were just folding right? unless we can beat their strong shit?
I feel like it’s the inverse in low stakes, when you bet big pot/overbet villain perceive it as you’re bluffing and you get called more than when you bet 1/2 or 2/3
Yeah no rec fish will not fold their overpairs even if the Pope comes and tells them 100 times Sir you do not have the best hand 😂. Recfish thinks “I know I’m beat 100% but I has them bullets how can I fold?”
Probably good to note that this is very exploitive and you should be careful playing like this vs someone who is playing attention to what you are doing…but if the are not than this is way better
what do you think of the 5 "adjustments" to turn these BAD bluffing spots into good ones? amazing? ok? trash?

if they’re under bluffing, yes! and in live poker - they’re almost always underbluffing
Love your stuff man keep up the great content. Marc (raise with their strong shit call with their weak stuff) goon. 😂
The tattoo and strategy 🐐
I wish I would have watched this video yesterday 🤣🤣🤣
tim duncan once said the best time to watch a hungry horse video was 20 years ago. the second best time is today.
@@hungryhorsepoker Tim Duncan’s wisdom has never let me down 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I can’t wait to try these moves at the 2/5 1k cap in Tunica 💨💨💨
I feel like it’s the inverse in low stakes, when you bet big pot/overbet villain perceive it as you’re bluffing and you get called more than when you bet 1/2 or 2/3
no
First example (after villian check calls), you won't get him to lay down top pair on such a dry board... much better spots to bluff.
its so old school vegas ull really have a great time. its party poker there.
Yeah no rec fish will not fold their overpairs even if the Pope comes and tells them 100 times Sir you do not have the best hand 😂. Recfish thinks “I know I’m beat 100% but I has them bullets how can I fold?”
May be good for cash game. But for tournaments may be too risky on all your over pot bluff.
i’m not sure what channel you’re watching - but there are no tournaments here
Why does it benefit you (and other trainers) to make the average poker player better?
by making people win more, we show our stuff works, and more people join us for our bootcamps where we help them win a LOT more
They are not average lol most people don't even use charts so they are not here studying poker.
how do I play against players then who will just never raise me? Do I just stop bluffing like that?
try kissing them
thanks horsey daddy
omg
Too good
