3 HACKS To Play DRAWS PERFECTLY!

[@PokerCoaching]

What is YOUR favorite tip from this video? 😄

[@NefariousMinds]

Do your best to not get jammed on with high equity draws is my favorite tip. Thanks for the tips!!!

[@Hokieman9094]

I love your advice and content. But can you please start to provide more content with 8 and 9 handed strategies, because most tournaments aren't six handed.

[@deborahswift2377]

I find this way of teaching very effective for me. I find the charts overwhelming. It is impossible to memorize the charts and most training don't teach the "why" behind the charts in a manner that makes sense to me. This episode explained the logic behind the charts. This was helpful.

[@PokerCoaching]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it!

[@PoppysGuitar]

Yes the why is often missing so that the theory, the reason is omitted. Thus listening here is like listening to music without knowing how to play. The teaching doesn't have the equity "why" and the thought process that goes into arriving at the "why". Most instruction fails for that reason.

[@anmolllll]

Love these types of videos

[@SlothPlayingGames]

I agree. Jonathan’s way of explaining the theory and why it works is what makes him one of, if not the best coach on KZbin. So many of his videos have been put in to practice and it just makes sense. I fully believe he’s the reason I’ve gone from a losing 1/2 player to a winning 2/5-5/10 player

[@robertwilliamson7095]

I was a losing player until I followed you and I'm a winner now....actually doing really well 😎 small adjustments just and not tilting like the Titanic anymore lol

[@PokerCoaching]

Awesome!

[@jolaz69]

Watched your video on my way back to the Bay Area today. Entered the Run Good Bankroll builder for $135. I called a raise out of the BB with 96 spades heads up. Flop was 8 spades 65 diamonds. I check raise the flop and take it down!

[@kaisaarnio7208]

Thank you for the videos Jonathan, making it to the money way more often after watching a bunch of ur vids. Yesterday made it fifth on pko tournament with field of 3k+ players.

[@joshuapatrick682]

raise smaller bets more and bigger bets less... got it!

[@royalflush8173]

I agree with you 1000% in a game full of donks you don't won't to raise draws no body is folding you want to keep as many folks in the pot as possible, when your straight comes in at least 3 donks are calling when you shove.

[@russell2369]

I shall be adopting this in my home game in a few weeks 💪🏻

[@joshuapatrick682]

19:24 also, I am curious about the colors on the grid. I believe orange means raise, green means call but what does blue and gray mean? why is AA gray as is J7 offsuit?

[@jaker4ster]

Love these, I'm playing much better since starting to watch. It would help if the chart had a key, I'm too much of a noob to know what the different colors mean.

[@mike62380]

I like the video. One question i had that i didnt see here. When you're on a draw and then you reraise the opponents 1.5 bet what do you do if they come back over the top of your raise? I know you said a lot of the time that you'll have go fold to their all in bet, but what if the reraise they make is not an all in? Are we jamming at that point, calling, or folding?

[@jeffryglenn7024]

You fold to any large reraise. This is the entire point of the video. You raise with low equity hands (vs small bets), because you don't mind folding if you get reraised. With high equity hands you don't raise as much to avoid being reraised and forced to fold correctly.

[@mr.doriangrey3394]

Are these scenarios heads up or multi way ?

[@Gouranga55]

[@alfredchew467]

Alot people go burst with flush draw when faced with re-raise. Is this a must call when flush draw?

[@carlknepfler8976]

I play in a seriously soft 1$/2$ cash game here I definitely need to exploitatively under raise because I have no fold equity. Also I'm usually not heads up, I am in a lot of multiway pots. I think the strategy is pretty much to just play a tighter range across the board. Move many of my draws to my check calling range to realize equity, and try to pile it in when I have the goods. I think I am looking for it to be more complicated than that but its not. Sometimes I do feel like I am too nitty in this game but it seems like theappropriate exploit. I do think there is more opportunity to barrrel it off more especially since despite how wide villains are calling pre and post flop on the river, there is an opportunity to bluff hands since they are not arriving at the river balanced at all. I do have your book Jonathan on mastering small stakes. I am going through it a second time right now. Are there hand breakdowns of you playing in any truly wild cash games? Like where standard raise is 8-10x and are usually 3-5 handed to every flop?

[@thomasobrien4707]

You’re exactly right, just tighten up like crazy and fast play nutted hands since you’re against a lot of opponents, all who have a little bit of equity and make your hand more vulnerable

[@randylahey8207]

You're playing it just right. Be prepared to rebuy, and play a nutted range to exploit people who call too much. There are situations to bluff, they're just very player dependent. Build an image first as tight, then bet big in spots when scary cards come in that will push off even the biggest calling stations. Used to play in a game like that, and once I adjusted it was easy pickings. Not necessarily the most interesting poker, but profitable nonetheless...

[@CarbideShrapnel]

how are all these hands like 93 and 82o in there in the first place? That seems pretty wide defend. But I guess I am not as optimistic or good as the GTO pro.

[@mbtadhl]

Very nice..

[@tyleranthony2777]

New to the channel, where do we access these charts? I’ve use the preflop charts but don’t know where these post flop charts are

[@PokerCoaching]

The postflop charts come from a GTO solver.

[@tyleranthony2777]

@@PokerCoaching thank you for all the help. I had never played poker before a month ago, lost $200 within 5 minutes of sitting down for a cash game at my local casino. Then I bought and listened to your book strategies for beating small stakes poker and studied the preflop charts on your website. Which lead to me getting 5th place in a tournament at Caesar’s palace in Vegas last weekend. Now I need to figure out how to play when I miss the flop.

[@hAuzMOVIEmaking]

Is there a difference in the approach in low/high stake games? And how does this approach differ in cash games/tourneys? If it even differs anyhow :D

[@PokerCoaching]

Yes, you should always take advantage of what your opponents do incorrectly.

[@quidproquo3933]

exploit every street to the max. all day everyday. The true gto.

[@edwardjackson9871]

What is a high equity draw?? What does that mean??

[@dillonhitt]

How significantly should you decrease your raise frequency in multi-way pots?

[@PokerCoaching]

A lot.

[@mariotm176]

what does it means the grey combinations in the chart?

[@pnzrldr]

Clarification please - preflop the suited combos on your range chart indicate any given suited combo. Confirm that your range chart for post-flop play indicates a suited combo as ONLY the suit with the draw on the board. All other hands eg. suited in hearts/clubs/diamonds on the first example with the spade draw, are now counted as 'offsuite.' Is this correct interpretation?

[@PokerCoaching]

The range charts show all combinations of hands that are available as played.

[@kenrobinson1188]

It's counter intuitive to me to raise with shittier draws....but I don't dare argue with the GTO gods lol

[@DoctorHomunculous]

its risk management imo, when u have a weak draw the risk of getting to showdown with nothing (or making ur draw and still losing) is high

[@MaydayAggro]

Folding a 28% draw needing 33%: Plus surely you can make that extra 5% on turn and/or river.

[@Mathemagical55]

That was in the context of raising and getting shoved on.

[@PoppysGuitar]

Where is the chart color code? What does each color mean?

[@AWESOMEDAWSONPOKER]

Mr. Little I should call you Mr BIG , I LOVE YOU BIG DAWG ... I CANT WAIT TO MEET YOU , or even battle spar with you at tables .. #salute

[@PokerCoaching]

Thanks!

[@kiddiehs]

my quastion is. How much should i raise?

[@PokerCoaching]

Depends on the spot!

[@kiddiehs]

The spot you re showing us for example

[@VenomBlazeCoCGaming]

That all depends on: your opponent, relative stack depths, and board texture. Try to study the solvers tendencies on specific board textures by grouping board textures and observing each positions bet sizing relative to the situation at hand

[@BibinVenugopal]

Blind answer raise 3x

[@ReaperAHHH]

Do you hate nut advantage? then bigger

[@TheVigilantEye77]

The problem is GTO is based on the computer playing more hands than a human could in a lifetime Bet if your hand is in top 33% of villains range for his position might be more practical

[@jaybaines9823]

What’s the adjustment if your playing a nit who only C-bets if they connected with the board? If they still bet small are you still supposed to check raise with these hands?

[@TheVigilantEye77]

NO. If you can, play the player

[@PoppysGuitar]

Red is raise? Blue is fold? Green is call? What does the gray mean?

[@cronut6033]

Gray is not in range, so hands that were folded preflop or 3-bet preflop, for example

[@lunuhoo]

“Yes, we’re going broke with the J8.” 🥳😎🤓

[@krisrhodes5180]

I live play 1/2 and 1/3 games, should I be basing my strategy on my _actual_ range or on the range I think my _opponent believes_ I have?

[@gorrnan3117]

In my experience, playing your possible range at a 1/2 table is how you lose all your money to bottom pair. Too many donks. Unless the game is filled with regs, I’m playing 1/2 extremely tight and going huge when I have a made hand.

[@kilobumpin]

wouldnt you want to raise your high equity draws to win a big pot when your draw hits??

[@saschatube1517]

64s = str8draw??

[@renstillmann]

No one cares about ranges, people call raise re-raise with anything

[@jolaz69]

I did it again at the final table. Called a raise out of the small blind with KdQh. Flop came 109hh4. Check raised the flop and took it down!

[@TomRauhe]

So 72o gets there on the flop, and calls a pot sized bet with A Q on the board and bottom pair. Gotcha.

[@rickyfiorentina]

He is saying unless you think your opponent has AQ then 7 2 (two pair) on that board is the hypothetical nuts and should be played aggressively. He's not telling you 72o is a great hand in general

[@TomRauhe]

@@rickyfiorentina there are not two pair for you on a flop of AQ7 when you have 72o (however the F you got there in the first place... Because solver, I guess)

[@TwisTyK]

the reality is so different ahah, playing like that against the field is so bad

[@ShinestuHiko]

I’m not playing my draws correctly

[@kaktusrouge]

For your example, you say "you will raise 22% of the time". Ok fine. But how does it unfold at tables ? So I have to not raise 78 times in a row, and then 22 times in a row I will raise ? How to apply that correctly ? Should we consider wind direction ? Air pressure ? Temperature ? I'm joking of course, but this is to say that it's pretty difficult to use this rule accordingly IMO. thanks anyway for the great content! 👍
