During live tournaments when people ask who made the raise and when they find out it was you they fold pretty much straight away. I think that's a sign that they respect you and your ability to play.

Regarding point 6... I tuned up my game by playing on XBox -- Prominence Poker ranked tournaments. People actually take the ranked tournaments seriously, because ranking matters. I haven't been playing anything crazy, but I won $700+ this summer in local poker tournaments because of that game. Bronze and silver ranks are full of fish - you can place by never playing a hand. Gold has smarter players, so the games can take a while. Platinum and diamond have legitimately decent players. Would love to see a poker pro do videos on this free game.

"If you don't know what to do, just make a bet" this goes against all my natural instincts 😅 One thing I can honestly say is that I've stopped paying off the nits or at least the ones I've identified. I realized I got that badge when I saw a manic going head to head with a nitty regular and I'm like duuudee pay attention, this guy always has it!!!! But he didn't believe them. And then the nit took his money. And probably did again after that. Thanks BR!

W/ regards to Rule #3 in this episode - yes. Most hands are crap. A lot of times (maybe most) you aren't betting whether you have a decent hand, you're betting that your opponent doesn't match up either (especially w/ an Ace). So yeah, if your two cards are Ace high above the belt, depending on the flop bet slowly into them. See how the cards lay down and more importantly how much your opponent sweats. A person with KQ in this example would lose. You can always fold, but you can't arm wrestle from a distance, you have to test the pressure every hand if possible. On a trend, don't let the table force you out, make the opponent do it. Absolutely, thanks Nathan!

Doyle called it a suckered hand. And he's right. That doesn't mean Ivey or some other professional hasn't played it. But take this with a ton of confidence, they'll RARELY play that and they'll tread accordingly. They're mostly not trying to actually make a hand with it. But steal a pot. They'll also very rarely lose more than 10bb with it. And that's what makes the difference in calling it a suckers hand.

Unfortunately those games you say I WANT to play in end up around 75% of the time with my opponents always making their draws and stacking me. I realize I SHOULD want this and SHOULD profit from it but they keep putting all their money in on weak draws and low pairs and keep sucking out. I can only lose so much money and be so unlucky before I give it up because my bankroll can't take it. Unfortunately in my experience I find the statistics sometimes just decide to ignore you. Variance for ME seems to be when my made hands manage to actually hold up, which even over the long run has not been often.

It hurts to hear but it's advice I find myself having to follow too--if you're raising appropriately pre-flop and charging people to sniff out whatever garbage will make their hand good, you will win many times more from them than they sneak from you. If you find these kinds of players consistently hit their draws, that they are always winning big pots from you while you win small pots from them, you have some screws to tighten. No hate here, I had a session the other night where I torched much of my BR profit from last year while every garbage draw got there, it was so tilting--but they can have their crazy night. I'll take my playing indefinitely and being able to weather the storm when things get wild.

I am empathetic, sympathetic to what your going thru. I went thru a 70 tournament buy in lost in a row bad run. After building $15 to $250 online, that bad run hit me. And about 99% of time I was not only getting bad beat knocked out by DONKS, but I was getting BAD BEAT 7,8,9,10,11,12,13 times per tournament, while only bad beating the opposition about .75 of 1 bad beat per tournament. I got knocked down from $250 to $6, before I gradually, eventually grinded it back up and increased it to $1750. During that time my coach pointed out that it was even more important then, to play as mistake free as possible, because even 1 little, tiny mistakes, no matter how awesomely I was playing, could deny me a tournament cash, that would either turn my bad run around, or at least increase my bankroll enough to weather the storm. My coach pointed out that it can be easy to overlook such mistakes, because we are playing good, and we are getting bad beat, bad run, etc. That's why it's even more important during such a bad run to STUDY, FIND your holes, leaks, mistakes, and PLUG them, get rid of them. If you flip a coin 900 ZILLION times, it will come up the same side 1 billion times in a row eventually. That may seem impossible, but it is possible as a statistical anomaly. There have been ZILLIONS of poker hands played since the beginning of time on this earth, both offline, online, and somewhere there is a Murphy or MURPHIES of poker, that go on 1000 buy in bad runs, have AA lose 250 times in row all in preflop, etc. Such things seem impossible, but if enough(Zillions), played then it can, does happen as a statistical anomaly. The only thing one can do about that is: 1. Don't make as many mistakes. 2. Study, find, eliminate your holes, leaks, etc. 3. DO NOT TILT. 4. Increase your VOLUME, get to the LONG TERM FASTER. 5. HAVE AWESOMELY GOOD BANKROLL MANAGEMENT. 175 buy ins for large field tournaments. 100 buy ins for small to mid sized tournaments and sit n gos. 50 buy ins for cash games. 6. Step down stake levels, to A. For your bankroll to increase the number of buy ins in your bankroll. B. To be against even more FISH, DONKS. 7. Temporarily stop playing tournaments, and play more cash games, as tournaments have more variance, even tho tournaments have more DONKS then cash games. 8. raise more preflop, and postflop vs DONKS to either drive their garbage chasing out, protect your hand, make DONKS pay too much, extract more value when they do call. Better to win a smaller pot, at lower, no variance by forcing DONKS out by BETTING BIG, then to lose a bigger pot with higher variance, because you kept the DONKS in, because you bet smaller. This is good when your at smaller stakes, and going thru epic bad runs. 9. Play more straight forwardly, ABC, fundamentals, etc, when at smaller stakes, when your going thru a epic bad run. Yes that means temporarily losing our on profit from bluffing the nits out in micros, etc, but you will make up for it by still having the DONKS PAY YOU OFF. And by preventing you from making the kind of mistakes that would cause you loose even more during your epic bad run.

@mikehickmanvloggamessingin3604 The point about betting big to prefer winning a small pot vs. losing a big one has been my biggest strat; people tell me I'm leaving value on the ta level but slow playing almost always seems to bite me in the ass. Thanks for all the insight. I like to think I already know some of that but sometimes the reinforcement helps. I had a couple sessions this week that started with me hitting multiple big pots and being up huge but left me disappointed when I took multiple bad beats but managed to still go home with a little more than I started with and tried to remember that I should look at that as a blessing. Those bad runs that seem impossible really are just earth-shattering, though. Bad beats don't bother me that much; what tilts me is the players I'm supposed to be making money off of consistently stack me when chasing poor draws with low odds and big pots. Getting crushed by the players I should be crushing is the real tilter.

Depends on what your definition of PLAYABLE hand is. Also just because a hand is PLAYABLE, does not mean it should be played depending on situation, position. Example. 64 suited on the button for a button raise semi bluff semi steal is a PLAYABLE hand in that situation. POSITION is more important than waiting for the IDEAL so called PLAYABLE hand, especially if your idea of PLAYABLE is KQ suited, AT suited to AK, 66 to AA. The later the POSITION, BUTTON, CUT OFF, HIJACK, MP2, the wider, looser definition of PLAYABLE hand. That does not mean you should play 72 on the button. Also the type of players at your table can help determine a range of PLAYABLE hands. You don't want to be a NIT. Semi Tight to Semi Moderate, semi calculated semi aggressive, is where you want to be, BASED on SITUATION, PLAYERS, TABLE, POSITION. If you slightly expand your definition of PLAYABLE, you won't have to fold for hours. You want a VPIP of about 26% of time You want a see the flop of about 26% of time. You don't want a VPIP, See the flop rate of 10% because of your definition of PLAYABLE hand.

Yeah increase your raise to 4,5,6 x preflop. Also realize that in micro stakes tournaments, in the early to semi mid tournament, DONKS will keep on calling you preflop with bad hands. I have raised 7x to 10x to 13x preflop and still had 2 DONKS STILL LIMP CALL with BAD HANDS. At some point, you have to stop increasing the amount of your raise and just accept that your going to get 1,2 callers, 85% of time, no matter how tight you are, or how much you raise, unless you raise 17x to 20x to all in, which finally gets them to fold. But you don't want to raise too much and then end up with BIG POTS out of position, with MULTIPLE DONKS, with you unlikely to win, because they will either out flop you, or you will hit nothing, and be unable to bluff them, or will be buffed out by them, etc. It's better to raise 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, and accept that 2,3 will call and then either 1. your not able to hit or bluff or win, move on to next hand. 2. You hit, but get nothing, move on to next hand. 3. You hit, get paid off, move on to next hand. 4. You hit, but still get out flopped, but don't lose much or lose nothing, fold, move on to next hand. 5. You hit, but still get out flopped, lose a lot, etc, move on to next hand. 6. You bluff, but get called, lose little, move on to next hand. 7. You bluff, but get called, lose a lot, move on to next hand. 8. You bluff works, you win small pot, move on to next hand. 9. Your bluff works, you win either mid sized or LARGE pot, move on to next hand. You have to learn how to play POSTFLOP in tournament play, especially in micros, with CALL STATIONS. If you raise some more preflop, and play better POSTFLOP, then eventually in long term, you will win more. If you keep on raising 2x, 3x, 4x, preflop, instead of 5x, 6x, 7x preflop in a tournament, you will get more callers, lose more hands in micro stakes tournaments, EARLY in a tournament. If you don't accept that 2,3 will call, and learn to play POSTFLOP, you will lose more in micro stakes tournaments, early in tournaments. Now as tournaments get late, and more DONKS bust out, then you can raise 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, and get 0, 1, 1.5 callers, and not have to play POSTFLOP as much, etc. But even then your still occasionally going to have to play POSTFLOP late in a tourny.

Poker types are what I call " The Sleepers." They are the ones with 4 Aces in the hole, betting nothing, and you go and bet crazy thinking you got a trip K or other amazing hand. 😢
