Basic Flop Defense | How to Learn GTO Incrementally

[@yiminghu4684]

The way you structure and explain your solution is so clear and actionable! I really love this series! Thank you!

[@gcsiciliano]

This is a very nice and scientific approach, something not very respected in these crazy days. As usual, great songs 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Man! I just wanted to thank you from the deep of my stack for THIS AMAAAAAAAZING WORK !! In the mist of thousands of hours of poker content everywhere, you're channel is definetely the most EV+ of all. From deep mathematic considerations to noob brain level adaptation, you really are a game changer for me and make me skill up and process what and HOW I learned poker before. Thank you so much for everything dude, hope I can you offer you a beer sometimes. Cheers from France mate.

god damn this is such a good advertisement for gtox and drivehud. Showing you step by step how to plug beginner leaks

[@davidhoekstra4620]

I think for bluff-raising hands on the flop Double Backdoor hands have an advantage over draws because they have built in guidance on whether to continue on the turn. That is, if they gain EQ you barrel, and if not you give up.

[@coolbeans8682]

Fun project! Many have tried to teach their girlfriends to play and failed but I'm pretty sure you're the right man for the job.

[@balvinator1]

This is going to be an amazing series

[@nonenonerson7130]

Ariel in thumbnail: take the damn picture already so I can take off these boxing gloves and get back to randomizing my draw raising frequency

[@sharkyjawz1342]

Idea for a follow up series: 1) Sit your "Side chick" down in the FE classroom for an 8hr seminar 2) get sample from real play 3) repeat classroom seminar this time integrating the sample/imbalance discussion. Rinse & repeat to explore which approach is superior.

[@tassv5909]

you mean which chick is +ev for a poker pro?

[@MATTHRPE]

Using an attractive woman to endorse a product...Why didn't anyone think of this before??

[@just4meification]

A few days ago I found myself playing again Ariel. You might want to mask her handle in the videos, as I had a good idea of her strategy.

[@frederickjk3]

Considering the stakes is for practice, if people attempt to exploit, it would actually help. They'll find better methods to implement GTO concepts, quicker.

[@dwainfisher4119]

Her strategy is GTO it doesn't matter if you know her strategy 🙄

[@infosneakr]

no one is perfect gto player so there are exploits

[@jackbittker4249]

Amazing video man. She’s gonna be killing it soon enough if she wants to

[@NoLongerGrilling]

She’s got unlimited free study sessions with the man himself FE. If she doesn’t improve is completely on her ;)

[@d-law868]

I don’t know why we not used the colors on cards instead of a randomizer since it’s easily transferred to live poker. Before the session( or the hour) say that redsuited hands are doing the aggressive choice, for unsuited all combos having red topcard. All 25,50,75% options are covered and more is not useful or ? 🤔

[@d-law868]

Absolutely stellar video and your musical choices are always on point and great Love your work and I would NOT like to play Ariel when she is GTOed

[@deathbymonkeys]

All hail the queen! You got this!

[@Zoltar02]

great approach and study on this

[@MarkusMuller-ks4pp]

Just a short critique on your teaching: To be great at cash games means to be super efficient in getting the fishes money. Getting MAX money from real fish doesn't need ANY GTO and needs a lot of experience + intuition + inherent skill, it is not really teachable (real fishes also tend to bust really quickly, so getting MAX is very important). I'm not talking about exploiting slightly bad players online (in which case a solver can help a ton). Also I'm not saying that GTO is useless, it is useful and every aspiring poker player should learn it, but IMO he/she should learn it after grasping the game at least a bit (for example he should already recognize table dynamics, have a feeling of what in which situation is a value hand etc...). What use is it to play some simplification of a GTO strategy if you can't even recognize the fish at your table?

[@SD7productions]

10:55 Instead of using a randomizer, can we consider the aggression tendency of villain? If villain seems passive and we know to a certain degree that villain will only call our raise and not re-raise then this fact is a good incentive to raise? Or if villain seems aggro and we know there's good chance that we might get 4-bet, then just calling with nut-flush draw is the right play?

[@Gos1234567]

Dude shes just a total beginner,didnt you just hear he was just after teaching her what top pair meant?

[@gipgopgooporiginal]

Go Ariel!

[@ghjk5827]

Is she going to mix draws as raise/call on the turn as well?

[@bbapoker]

Hi , i'm a MTT player I did buy driveHUD2 but it don't considere any of my ITM in the stats....where can I find answer ?

[@kstyle1343]

You are a literal mad man for getting your girlfriend to use a randomizer to play microstakes

[@jackungerer1702]

Could I get a copy of that photo of hellmuth for…… personal reasons

[@noamcalvache5717]

Great content 👍 keep it up

[@vividpsychosis8222]

Honest question, as simple as you are making this, im still slightly confused and trying to follow your solver use etc and looking at equity on the solver or other app has me confused pretty badly, how is your beginner gf doing this if you had to tell her what top pair was? How can she be studying that for every hand like you mentioned? Im just trying to follow along, not hate on this. As I want to learn gto and get better but my head is spinning and I dont have that solver to study each hands equity etc

[@Lucymai12]

The strategy his gf follows is outlined in the videos, no? Like betting trash and the strongest hands and checking the middling hands. What are you confused about? The situations where they didn't talk about yet, the gf just decides without knowing whats right, like he is pretty much making simple guidelines, easy to remember (or write them on a piece of paper) and follow them in the games, she is still a losing player no doubt. But you're gonna be if you have no idea of river strategy.

Maybe give an idea as to what the hole cards are

[@nftonce5409]

this is a great video !

[@StevenWatts]

In the interest of simplification and as she’s playing 10NL where she’s not likely to be exploited, rather than using a randomiser could she raise her high strong draws and call her low strong draws and raise her low weak draws and call her high weak draws?

[@Cowtymsmiesznego]

Presumably it's easier to just randomize 50/50 than to try to determine which draws count as strong/weak and low/high on different boards and with different pre-flop ranges.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

Sorry to be blunt... Just because you named your right hand Ariel doesn't mean she is your GF.

Weird flex but ok
