Phil goes over table image with Joe McGowan. He explains how your image should be dictated by the cards that fall and why it's important to always be observing your opponents.
@@joshuastinson3013 yes, its a good interview though. it's the type of questions that beginners will ask. ivey points out the flaws in the question, and then explains how the situation is actually approached or understood.
What Phil says at 4:10.... “If you are playing against someone who is not paying attention, and you try to re-raise/re-steal, it’s not going to work because they are only playing their two cards, not against the player.” That right there is EXACTLY the biggest dilemma at $1-$2 cash in casinos. At a nearby casino, where I am one of the most “regular regs”, at any given table, at LEAST 5or6 of the 9 villains at the table are not “thinking” players, and are only thinking 2 things: “what are my cards?” “I can’t win if I fold!” So it’s very difficult to bluff. And I’ve found it not smart to raise with any kind of marginal hands because you still wind up with 3/4...7 callers. It’s a paradox.
i know what you mean …in that situation i try to wait for the best hand and then try to trap them by trying to make them think that i´m making a bad bluff …its hard to play them when u get no cards thats right …
This Players are so easy to exploid. Whait for a hand, call with good odds and get the most value for your made hands as you can. Easy as that. Dont make the mistake to think bettter Players are more easy to play. They dont give your money as easy out like the bad players.
vs bad players you can show one bluff and then get them to donate all their money to you when you make a good hand. you can also fold basically any time they raise you bc they rarely bluff raise. even if they do now and then you’re still better off just folding to aggression unless they’re constantly overly aggressive, then you just wait for a good hand. against clever, but still bad, aggressive opponents in 3bet pots a line i like is halfpot flop, check turn, small river bet (also called a block bet). Lots of bad players hate getting 3bet and cannot give them up, theyre bigger than most pots they play so they just cant help trying to steal it. that line specifically looks super weak and they’ll really try to shove all in on you. But only do this if the guy is fairly clever and you have an actual strong hand for the board. Vs really dumb guys that just call down dont get cute just pay attention to how much money they have in their stack and figure out a way to get it all in on the river
Best exploit for low stakes is making very strong hands. Figuring out your opponent has a middle strength hand i.e you have a set or two pair and they just have top pair. Get all the money in and watch them snap call ;). Don’t try and get too cute. Just play fundamentally good. Remember you can’t bluff bad players. Bluffing works better on thinking players that can put your story together and make big folds
Damn Phil is being super nice to a overconfident interviewer who knows Jack shit about poker talking like a true amateur. Phil you have my respect , you have patience with this amateur player/interviewer.
This video is like a high school basketball player asking Michael Jordan about how he decides when he has the ball, whether to shoot it or pass it.
OK. A non expert asking an expert a question about his area of expertise. Sounds about right

@@conephompany agreed. It's a good interview.
In the moment, there is no shortcut for experience, Ivey is a mentor :)
Nice! Loved it: remember, bluff wont work against a calling station, and wont work against some one who dont think about how you play!
Is that a gold AP Royal Oak on his wrist? Nice. ♤ ♡ ♢ ♧

It can’t be taught what he does. Ivey is the Michael Jordan of Poker
That man is the last person in the world I would want to risk my money against. Best poker player in the world.
Absolutely
ya i never heard of this joe mcgowan guy
Ever
well said !
What if your opponents cultivate an image for you and you're aware of that?
that’s what having a table image means…
@@MrJoosebawkz no, it actually means you can exploit your opponents because of the image they have of you
@@teecee4459 that’s what this video is about… exploiting your opponents based off how they see you, aka your table image.
@@MrJoosebawkz nevermind kid, I can't teach stupid
the g.o.a.t... nails it
This guy's goooood...
Scary good
