[@andyrusellthunderbrook4651]

So with what Hand you go All in by Satellite or Tourney 4 example with which Ax ? A10, AJ ? When Go all in with KQ J10 or such Hands by what blind Level that would be interesting and by PP i loose often with AJ vs AA, AK, AQ Pocket Hand or also bs Hands is this cause the Hand is only 3 best Ax Hand or cause of Varianz ?

So ur results driven . This is WHy u don’t win in poker. It’s not about results. Just because u lost in the past with specific hands. Does not mean that they cannot be played. Almost every hand has value whether it is calling from the big blind or various other situations when u can open any 2 as a large stack on the bubble. Poker has no answers. It’s about the ability to adapt

There is a time and a place for KT offsuit. But unless you are in late position or defending a blind from a late position player, it is total trash.

All depends on your position, who's on your left, how much it costs, implied odds, pot odds, how many nits and crazy people before you, so much to figure, but all that should be going through your head when you have 3 seconds to decide to call or fold. If you can't do that, fold.

I play in a weekly bounty tournament where I live and run into a lot of these hands and suffer bad beats quite often because we a bunch of amateurs and fish in the tournament but I will say I am able to take your advice the weeks I make the final table and cash(top 5 cash in this tournament)or win because the fish that just got lucky and made it can’t compete in that situation because the blinds are super expensive and I purposefully raise them all in when I got position because they almost always call me. I also participate in the Monthly cash game at the same location so your advice has helped me improve my game tremendously.

[@TheItrucker]

Wait the last hand A-9 showed up as an ACE triple in the flop and turn? That should beat an AQ Pair! Aces are the apex card and I always think hard before mucking them pre-.flop

[@mutteringmale]

Interesting....I'm a TAG myself, but I play many of these hands preflop depending on my position and if I'm the small blind, it only costs 1 dollar to see the flop unless the big blind raises but that is rare. I play trash hands like these if I can get in cheap, in position and why? Because of "implied odds". Just like small pairs. You get massively paid if you hit.

Hi i want to ask if the community all 5 cards its staight and i got hand pockets 2 and my friends pockets 10 , amd the result is chop or not?

[@ricardoelsandrade]

If I understood you correctly, the 5 community cards make a straight. So, unless that straight ends in a 9, which would make your friend a bigger straight ending in 10, your pocket pairs mean nothing, as you only consider the 5 best cards. So yes, it's a chop.

[@gsnail8189]

Hi Nathan, How do you actually calculate your winchance flop/preflop? In percents (estimates) -without knowing opponent’s hand? I allways make a fast “about” calculation. I am not allways the same in my play though. *Edit: Thus i do not think for too long often. But i do see a little problem here sometimes because i do not think strongly deeply long enough to consider my actions! Thats how i got defeated yesterday on 14th or something! While i ahould have AT LEAST join the final table! Pretty sad! I missed MANY this way this close. Because i do not CHECK myself enough! What happened yesterday was lose 1010 vs QQ. Subconscuously i actually already felt little bit uncomfortable about it when o saw the flop (which i dont remember). I lost all chips in that hand as i didnt hit my trip. Or we bot hitted im not surr, there was a hand like that as well. O wait i won that one K’s over Q’s.

Now I'm all for KTs in position or defending from blinds and perhaps with solid reads on your opponents you could 3 bet it in position but I was shocked that a solver would recommend 3 betting it from early position after utg opened man has poker changed a lot the last decade. I miss the days before solvers.

[@Adzy2k61]

It blocks hands like KK and AK, so the solver raises it for the blockers

[@tumbleweedconnection7906]

@Adzy2k61 I'm old school and I think solvers and AI are ruining poker. Sure plenty of players are drastically better from a technical and mathematical sense compared to even 10 years ago but that doesn't mean that the game is any better for it. If you're using a solver to beat micro stakes you're sometimes eliminating the fact that a lot of your opponents aren't doing things that make sense so any type of range you put them on could be wildly inaccurate and any gto play won't matter against them.

[@Adzy2k61]

@@tumbleweedconnection7906 Solvers are arguably just making players better. The game has been constantly evolving and solvers are just the current peak of that.

Most hands in poker are bad, there’s only a few hands that are worth playing. But you can be dealt AA, KK or AK 100 times in a row and still lose every single hand.

[@KCMagicC]

I see a lot of comments struggling with the logic in this video. So let me try to explain. When you think of a range, you are thinking of, "what are the group of hands that a player like the one I'm playing would play instead of folding?" When a TAG or a NIT plays a hand, they are giving you an implicit range that suggests they have a hand that is in the top 5-20% of hands, with a higher probability of those hands that every TAG/NIT plays (e.g. AK, AQ, pocket pair). You should therefore only play hands that beat that group of hands frequently, and discard hands that are likely to lose to that group of hands (e.g. A9, KT). If you assume the person across from you is a fish, and play accordingly at all time, instead of recognizing the difference between a fish and TAG/NIT - YOU ARE THE FISH. The old saying is, "if you look around the table and can't see who the fish is, you are the fish." That applies here. A lot of folks commenting here are implicitly assuming the person across from them are playing a trash hand. That is a sign that these commenters play trash hands, and are the fish.

AK, and even AA, KK, QQ are all great hands but dangerous. Things can escalate and while they're awesome and 'usually' win for me, the amount of money you DON'T lose from throwing them in the muck is so big as anything. This has been the case for me mant times in multi-player hands and see others cards to the river after I'm out and people call and hit with wierd hands and I WOULD HAVE got smoked. Too many variables to list bro. Playstyles, your mood, their mood, hand history, skill level, booze, is the whole table nuts so is your AA going against 3 or 4 nut jobs anything short if an all in? Too mich in there, so someone might middle stack or stuck all night shoves or won't fold on a draw and hits, stack sizes, getting in our own head cuz were card dead, then you see AA finally... Just a ton of variables more that can throw people off. I've got better at navigating all that and when I did, the 'good hands' became good to me. Even still, they'll get cracked but if you read the whole table, opponents, and situations we'll, you should be gtg over time.
