What are your most under-rated poker hands? Also, here is how to realistically win at poker as a beginner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaGmmZeLh7ufnNE

[@travislivingston3895]

Dude played those pocket 55's perfectly slowplyed the trips on the flop basically a half pot bet til river then triple bet..made around $200+ .. also played alot of 7 6 hit straight and two pair. Good Advice for sure. Thank you for the poker tips

[@bepriceless]

The last video of yours I watch, you said never play these hands, if you want to win.

[@pot_kivach160]

good content! Thank you. . As for hand #2: 54d, on 6Kd7s flop you need strategy how to get out of trouble in case you missed all draws?? A pair of K with decent kicker is not folding in small stakes never mind what pressure you put on them. So: it's either (winning small) or (loose large) . (if we hit our hand, i.e. flush comes on turn/river, opponent is going to fold his pair of K easily. And we win small. If we miss it, he'll call our bluffs easily, i.e. we're losing large). You see what I mean. What's your strategy to cheaply get out of this trouble?

[@Startedfromthebottompoker]

Some good advice I’ve ever got and is pretty much true any hand can be a winner you never know what the flop is going to be what you guys think?

[@pot_kivach160]

flop is going to be good.

[@kingflaco24]

That’s facts I try to see the flop all til he time I hate to fold pre flop

[@Potato-tf3hv]

The other night I had pocket Aces I put in a large raise, the guy next to me says “I’m gonna crack your overcards” and called it. The flop is Q 7 7 he goes all in, I don’t believe him so I call and he turns over 5 7 offsuit. I wasn’t even angry I was just stupefied.

[@skl5532]

Hes a Nutcrkcer baby

[@robinhood9128]

Pocket aces is still only one pair.

[@Potato-tf3hv]

​@@robinhood9128 Obviously, but most of the time top pair is good enough to go on, and on a board with 2 7's he specifically needs a 7 which is unlikely when i raised so big. He could have have hit the queen and just shoved hoping to steal the pot while he's ahead.

[@robinhood9128]

Sounds to me like the opponent has this player pegged as playing high pairs or AK so he gave the shot about breaking his over cards to get the exact response he got. Bite the bullet and fold your aces to an all in.

[@JazzYachtrocker]

Implied odds.

[@bobross1829]

Yeah I agree that Ace plus whatever suited and any kind of suited connectors (or J 9 and the like as shown here) are all very good hands to play. In fact, if you are going to clean up and even get a big stack in a tournament, you actually MUST hit these hands. Getting AA or KK or whatever is obviously rare and you can sit there like a stump waiting for it and get blinded out or just play junk and hope to get lucky. Making hands with these kind of okay with potential starting hands is really where you want to be. You get these kinds of hands way more often, and if you hit them, as the video says you can crush everyone and win a massive pot. Yes, you do not hit them also often, but at least it gives you some hand to play and get into pots with lots of potential and outs. Plus, if you wait for super hands like AA or Ak people catch on pretty quick and know you are tight. If you dont hit them you fold them after fourth street and you are not too deep. But the video is right you want to get in cheap and try to hit on the flop and if you do not hit it, as long as it is cheap, no biggie.

[@markcummings3146]

They are good hands to have in your range but you have to play them smartly understand the implied odds for starter and I wouldn't opening them often in early positions.

[@oldterry9476]

how big does the ratio of bet to the stack have to be to call a raise do you follow the 15-25-35 rule

[@quiquecrz6451]

Hi there. Do you think you could share the script you use for pokerstars windows arrangement? It's very uncomfortable for me to play more than 4 tables because if one becomes active and I dont reply on time, the next active window will make it so I cant find the first window anymore :_ THANKS!

[@TylerGeffeney]

I’m confused, your charts on what hands to play say don’t play Ten eight suited

[@JohnDavidson-qu4eo]

Me personally it's only play 10 8 suited unless in blind for min raise depends on what is hitting the board if you can't see what's coming after watching for a while u don't belong in poker at all ❤

[@robertwilkinson8421]

As always, solid advice.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adrijankostic274]

I started playing online poker at the micros and watching your videos frequently. My number one problem is that when I win a hand, I only win small and if I lose a hand, I lose big. Any advice how I can improve on that?

[@Stockholm_Syndrome]

I like playing J9 suited in late position. I have won alot with that hand.

[@HAZE3047]

J9 is my luckiest hand lol, feel like I win 80% of the time with that lol

[@batoj]

doesnt this apply to any hand that's suited and a one-gapper? pretty much want to hit combo draws or trips.

[@theventurousgamer8137]

But I almost never get set with pockets and when I do they get straight or flush

[@bionicle37]

Can you make a video on what hands are best in relation to others? Like are pocket tens better than KQs

[@JohnDavidson-qu4eo]

Yes any pockets better

[@patricklemmon8260]

Not advocating playing the 7-2 but I did win a tournament, from the big & checked, with it. The flop was 772 rainbow. My allin was called in 3 of 5 active places. Eliminated all 3, then won the heads up battle quickly. As the song says, every band's a winner and every band's a loser (EV competes with That!.

[@Terry-o4k]

I got a little story I still can't believe I was in the cutoff position and I left in there's a couple other players the button raised it make it 15 two other players called I three bet two 45 the button calls the other players fold it came a lowball flop at 3 and 5 in a 6 rainbow I had nothing I I made a continuation bet of 40 the button just calls return came a jack I bet a hundred here again the button just calls the river comes at 9:00 here again I have absolutely nothing I have 200 left and I push all in the button folds it shows me a pair of aces I was dumbfounded

[@pot_kivach160]

you should go pro. Right away!

[@bryantwinturbo]

Great videos keep them coming

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks Bryan!

[@TheVigilantEye77]

If on flop you have a pair AND OESD or pairs AND flush draw

[@TheVigilantEye77]

Gotta hit the flop with BOTH CARDS preferably with two draws. Example on turn a possible trips str8 or trips flush

[@shameerrahim3548]

Love this thank you

[@BlackRain79Poker]

No problem 😊

[@1EyedJack51]

What area are you located in brother?

I often fold then most time right Decision also when 2 gos AI

[@jackiecody8549]

I was dealt A 3 clubs...flop showed 5c 10c jd...Ifigured since I had the nuts and already had 4 clubs, there was a great chance that I would take the hand. OP bet, I called...turn 7h...OP bet, Icalled...river Kc...OP raised, I raised and took the pot, OP got mad...called me a fish! I thought it was reasonable, maybe should have raised more, but knew I may not get my club, so played tight. OP had 2 pair. Your #4 hand to play backed up my thinking though I may have played it so so. I love your method of showing us how to play, you get right to the point, not a lot of confusing probabilities or math...lol! I am getting better, but still a sort of insecure player. I will keep watching!

[@Goatlence]

You didn’t have the nuts on the flop lol you only had it once the river card came

[@scottybbadd]

I've made some hay with 5-4 suited, its my #2 hand.

[@travislivingston3895]

9 7 suited underrated for sure

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Thanks Nathan.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

No prob glad this one helped!

[@miked4309]

i had KK and faced a limp and raise and i went all in. the limper snap called. shit. AA, right? NO...10 2 off. gets a straight on the river. i have not seen that in a poker book, article or video yet.

[@FABAGENT]

@@miked4309 I guess that’s one reason Doyle loved the hand

[@miked4309]

@@FABAGENT he actually hates the hand.

[@banjobro64]

what if I play 79s and I don't hit the flop? Check-fold or C-Bet?

[@sumanjungraut4772]

Only play these hands from position so u won't have to think about what to do 😅

[@banjobro64]

@@sumanjungraut4772 probably you are right

[@magicbyspaz]

The best hand in paper poker in is A/10. Obviously A/10 suited. Is better. Online it's bad because of the software.

[@richardpena8453]

What you don't explain is if you're under the gun in mid or how much too raise

[@Ash-i5s7j]

Any comments on on which seats inna cash game that dealers cant manipulate are the safest?

[@wythewinchester3236]

Downton Vegas; I had a hand that had 21 outs and still lost.

[@mikekellyco]

Why is A5s such a good hand?

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Can make top pair, nut flush, wheel straight.

[@JohnDavidson-qu4eo]

Wheel draw a2 a3 a4 also❤

[@hypinitup]

pocket 2 iffy.. i got coolered he has a higher boat …

[@FABAGENT]

#5 now you tell me LOL. 8/10 of clubs busted me out the other night.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

It’s tough when a hand like that busts you out but, we’ve all been there!

[@princegalaxywalker6273]

Wow, suited connectors are the same no matter what the suit is. Who would’ve guessed? Good thing this guy is here to tell us.

[@quiquecrz6451]

is that the only thing you learnt in the whole video? please carry ur hate somewhere else

[@JazzYachtrocker]

10-8 is the nuts

[@BobS-df8mz]

You have double-counted D8 D3 on hand 2 !!

[@Ash-i5s7j]

Beginners won't know how to play and how to bet on these hands

[@geoffkendall1952]

I just watched one of your videos saying never play 5, 4 suited? What gives? Now in this video you are saying play them? Not very consistent

[@craigforde9340]

I think because in this video he's referring to deep stack games. So if you do clean out someone's chips you get more value when you do hit

[@mikehong2691]

[@untouchable360x]

72. Nobody can put you on that hand.

[@goonerbear8659]

Unless it's a home/club game with a 72 Bounty.

[@inikolov]

BS info, In small stakes tourneys you will lose so much money trying to catch flops playing these hands. People will go all in before flop on all kinds of stuff. Stick to good hands.

[@bojanpusica8388]

Don’t know if u heard a man, he said multiple times deep stacks, which implies that mostly refers to cash games where u r over 100bb deep

anytime you flop trips you are likely to win vs any hand FFS
