I really needed this. Great video 👍

Nailed it pretty hard Jordan :))....thank you. Now lets get down to work and fix'em

[@vladobjelica2656]

This guy is my favorite . So real down to earth and seems like he truly wants people to get better at this game. He's not trying to gouge people for his and his teams knowledge 100 bucks is cheap as fuck

[@BBZPoker]

Really appreciate the support, Vlado! We're always trying to help players improve their game. Check out our latest video where BBZ works with Lex Veldhuis reviewing his PT4 Database: bbzpoker.com/product/bbz-lex-velduis-database-analysis/ 😀

[@Geoflo10]

Haven't seen all of your KZbin videos but for me that's the most valuable by far. Much respect, keep it up!

[@BBZPoker]

Thanks buddy, glad you got something out of it!

[@Lexington365]

Probably the most valuable 11 mins of poker content I have watched in the last few years. Cheers Jordan!

[@BBZPoker]

That's a great compliment, thank you very much for watching!

[@Lexington365]

BBZ Poker is exactly my situation bro. Hyper turbo SNG pro who made a lot of money between 2009 and 2015 but has become a bit of a poker dinosaur since then. The introduction to quantitative strategies is on my poker plan/to do list 😊👍

[@tinosobak5871]

The single most inspiring, realistic and down to earth public poker persona. Love the content Jordan, you inspired me to make a plan on how I am going to become a full time poker professional. Thank you very much for that.

Great video, big thanks!!

[@Insanity-vv9nn]

The mistake I make is number 3 and 4. I play Very solid and Win small stake SnG daily, but I get upset about variance when I make the right play but the opponent hits his 3 outs and bust me out. I try to remind myself that "I also got Lucky many times before, why the others cant get luckly? Why Just me?" It more of a ego problem, and we need to work on It.

[@RackwitzG]

I've been playing 2NL for two months after some time experience with Limit. At the moment, the more I study, the more I lose. lol I try not to think of the money, just making the right descisions.

[@BBZPoker]

You've got the right mindset! Keep pushing and play the long game. Thanks for tuning in

Hi Jordan, great stuff as usual. Can you make a video explaining how you should study? I would like to dedicate more time on studying but I feel like I'm kinda lost and don't know where to begin. Thanks

[@BBZPoker]

It's a great idea so hopefully I don't forget and get it done!

[@Chalky29]

Excellent analysis. A lot relates to me if I’m honest. Smart guy

[@BBZPoker]

Glad you enjoyed it. It's a struggle for all of us.

[@1Slotts]

Great video 👌🏻 but do you think at the low mid stakes that no 1 applies at this level , is balance necessary or can we exploit players by ONLY 3 bet jamming a tight value heavy range as in big mtt fields they aren’t going to have enough hands on us anyway ? If so at what level/ stakes would you advise to start using and implementing these hands into a steal range , thanks 👍🏻

[@BBZPoker]

You will find more spots to exploit in low stakes games, but you will be leaving lots of money on the table if you remove the bluff component from your 3-bet Jamming range!

[@1pokerhero118]

Nice video bbz...I think all are great...I think tournament selection is very important too...you must understand every tourney is different structure and volume of people...so you need to be a smart business man when your selecting your tourneys to give your self the best shot..to cash or ship....bountys hypers turbos late reg...large field..short field...gonna be smart in selecting..

[@1pokerhero118]

Hey bbz also iv seen your pic on pocket fives...but your not registered??is there another site your on..for all your scores

Very wise advice, sir. Game selection is an important part of a mid-stakes career!

[@daydaydful]

sweet ok so what do u reccomend i do because im pretty sure my downfall is im overly aggressive and way too much of a calling station like i call down with bottom pair 50% of the time facing no more then say a half pot bet... But tbh i really need to go back and view my results and honestly its a toss up wheather ive lost or broke even calling the river bet with bottom pair and A high crazy as it sounds...

[@grimshawr]

For #2, I feel like you glossed over the math a bit there. For people who don't know, if Villain bets 1/x pot on the river, you need to be good 1/(1+x) of the time. If phrasing it that way sounds confusing, remember this: They bet 1/4th pot, you need to be good 1/5th of the time. They bet 1/3rd pot, you need to be good 1/4th of the time. They bet 2/3rd pot, you need to do a bit of math. 2/3 = 1/(3/2), so you need to be good 1/(5/2) = 40% of the time. Keep in mind, this is all in a vacuum. The more you know about your opponents, the more you can deviate from this.

[@antoniomaio6361]

Thank you so much for all the free and fantastic knowledge you present,Jordan. Huge fan.(today i only played BBZ homegame,made 4th.Next monday i hope to play against you and collect your bounty :)

[@luckymaggie6594]

I find that when I just call bets here and there, I will find myself easily down 6 buy ins in minutes.

[@sm9csgo498]

that`s because you probably don`t play mid stakes ?

[@travisbickle0526]

There's a difference between calling a wide range of hands and just straight up spewing

[@MrTopp91]

BBZ . i have been playing poker for for arround 15 years. the biggest issue i have is deffently to stay focussed on the longer tourneys. been to one final table after 7 hours of poker my mind was litterly raped and i made so bad plays ended at 6th. any suggestions on how to work on my focus ? i have just been played some quicker formats the last few years because it makes no sense to play a tournament where you know you will play like shit after 5 hours

[@RobboMufc7]

Lots of water, plenty of snacks. And dont always sit while playing. Stand up and walk around a bit during unplayable hands. Maybe even a couple of push ups to get the heart racing

[@BBZPoker]

Try not to multi task when you're playing and keep the energy levels high. Multi-tasking is FAR more taxing than mono-tasking. Eat well and exercise and get some good sleep!

[@MrTopp91]

[@CrossfireEuGaming]

Can you recommend any solver which isnt that expensive as PIO? Im not much into solvers since Im actually studying with a course I bought. But I'll finish soon and I think the way to go afterwards is working with solvers, but PIO is too expensive for my br I think. Im a live cashgame player if this matters

I play amazing and get sucked out on constantly. Yesterday I lost KK vs QQ for 15million chips in day 2 of the partypoker $109 main ON THE BUBBLE after shoving preflop..... Q on the flop... I fking hate poker sometimes, will I ever upswing again?? I Constantly eat sh1t, lose AA all the time etc

[@vladbcom]

Fuck this was totally me all over the place, assuming poker owes me and I knew enough. #5 was especially big. Yes lots of play helps but if you don't know what it is you need to really pay attention to you may end up burning through a pile of cash before getting to it.

How do you study without buying any content? I have watched hours on end of youtube content to try to improve my game but I feel like I can't get much more out of it

[@BBZPoker]

Join the various Discord communities associated with the streamers you're watching. Follow me on Twitch/Instagram/Facebook as we have different content on each. Eventually if you really do want to get better I would recommend investing in yourself and your poker education and content you can afford. Good luck!

[@dylanvanderweide4867]

Study your own game if you wanna improve your own game. Wasnt sure what to do? Go over with people. Think you did everything right? Guess what. Go over it with people, always stuff to learn. Im surprised what i learn by doing that every day. Dont get me wrong. Im still shit😅

[@yofoxjoke]

what does the thumbnail has anything to do with the content of this video?

[@travisbickle0526]

I guess entitlement? Like you're not supposed to win with AA vs 22 all the time and it's standard of you lose with it

What would you say is the best way to study?

[@BBZPoker]

At the point I'm at I use solvers and database analysis to improve more than anything. Joining the BBZ seminars for a week and getting some exposure to what we're doing might be a good way to just get introduced to what we're doing and how we improve.

[@Bodom9688]

BBZ Poker I will join up and check it out would like to fix some holes in my game

[@johnforster6030]

I see a lot of the coaching, I watch many of the streamers and it's all interesting and makes sense, however as a causal player none of the play is relevant. For example ranges, I play anything from $11 to $60 buy ins. I can tell you a 3x bb raise eliminates no ranges at all, 42 suited is still calling, 67 off is still in and I'm talking mid position, not in the blinds. So while it interests me it really only applies to +100 by ins where 90% of players are capable of folding pre flop, where a 30 bb shove is only racing / dominating or crushed by AA or KK not facing a 22 call or JQ suited which of course is very live. I mention the 22 because at points the shove is an icm move to avoid a race with 77 or allowing them to set mine.

[@FaithfulReasoning]

I fold too much I always think they have it
