Have you tried any of these 7 poker tips? Also, here are the 5 things you will NEVER see a good poker player do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJepYmawfq2oZqM

You catapulted me the last few % I needed, I'm now consistently dominant at multi table 10 dollar buy ins. It's actually insane, it wasn't all your doing but you were that cherry on top that I needed. Thanks man

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Awesome, glad my videos are helping you!

[@JasonNortwich]

This is my favorite poker channel. Love the tips/tutorials!

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Glad you like them!

[@diiselix]

This is a good video, but don't you have like ten thousand of these?

[@generallukeproductions]

Right? Seems like every video has the same 5-10 tips

[@teyvionr]

You play tens of thousands of the same hands with the same cards .

[@spinaltap3258]

Thank you very much for the videos

[@MOH10492]

Repetition is the father of learning.

[@BJL13]

Yeah he def recycles all his videos 😂 I was noticing that too.

[@longlostkryptonian5797]

Genius as always. I just did #1 last week and doubled up in a cash game. Turned out he shoved with pocket 10s post flop. With pocket KK and no A on a 7, 4, 2 board, it was a snap call. Yeah he could have had trips or slow played AA but the math said call. Thanks for the great tips!

[@ITube4RealFun]

Thank you. Your videos are very informative. The KK tip is interesting. I had KK and 4bet and got shoved on by a tight player and he didn't take long at all to do it so I thought I would lose cause he had AA. It turned out he also had KK. Stack size was about 200-250 BB

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Glad it helped

[@SixBadges]

Always useful. I learn something new every time, and the more it's repeated, the more I realise that I have a lot to learn :-)

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Great to hear!

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

BlackRain, are you still a winning poker player? Do you plan on showing any recent graphs or doing a bankroll challenge? Both of the above would be great for views for your channel. - Thanks.

[@meerkat5641]

You know the answer to these questions, plus you know he is never going to reply to this type of questions because of the answers to your questions lol =D

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

@@meerkat5641 Well, possibly, but I don't know for sure; there are still plenty of players winning.

[@rudys20022002]

I would like to see you play and vlog

[@meerkat5641]

@@gsomethingsomething2658 Of course there are. I might consider myself a winning player, but if I would build content and tell people to do this or that, I would back it up with stats. But that's just me.

Thanks for the free advice! Channel has been doing great lately :)

[@MagicAlison]

Great video. Make videos playing and explaining, like abankroll challenge or something.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks for the idea!

[@pot_kivach160]

10:53 half of my losses will come from pocket AA and pocket KK!

[@losyart]

Hey i made KK fold . Rare ones but i did and i remember at least one time i was right bcs it was side pot so i saw showdown. But i dont have computerish memory about all the hands but i did folded couple of times. Although im not 100% sure it was right and opponents had AA

[@adamwoodhouse9785]

In example number four, if you don't hit the straight on the turn. Would you play the river the same as the turn?

[@MaryellenCrawford]

Thank you

[@BlackRain79Poker]

You're welcome!

[@ihavecrabs56]

how much do we reraise for tip 5 at 3:30?? somebody PLEASE HELP!

[@explorer4161]

In my home game I'm in last Thursday I misread my hand, I had 9 10 of diamonds, I thought they were 9 heart 10 diamond. A pre flop raise got me out pretty quickly, and what do you know I hit the straight flush on the turn. Most tilted I've ever been, my first straight flush and I wasn't even in the hand.

[@dragonballz2889]

hi..im playing poker zeemist.....i need u to explain me something.....5 d ( j 10 clubs) comes in on flop....turn and river comes in k a hearts............. player one has q and 8 clubs......i have qk spades.....both now has straight....but my king is higher than his 8 but the pot is split......doesnt the high card rule follow thru such that i take the pot since king is higher? cos in the table of low to high its high card first then royal flush last.....orrrrr am i missing something?

[@dragonballz2889]

meaning does the high card rule not follow thru to the end or how exactly does the high card work?

[@smashstuff86]

7:10 You say, "you bet, they call," but the screen says, "They bet, you call." Just clarifying which is the right strategy?

[@Mark_H101]

I struggle quite a bit with suited connectors.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

I made a few entire videos on these hands.

[@jaydenberrios5156]

Make a similar video about specifically home games?

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Great idea thanks!

[@IronTeddyBear]

I've gotten burned holding KK against AA too many times to count.

[@farshidgoleh1]

Hi Nathan. How do you respond to players that when they lose to you, they say you got lucky on the river! I had you all the way and lucky river helped you and etc...

[@BlackRain79Poker]

I would just agree with them and keep on playing.

[@eb1970]

i dont agree with some of the percentages. For example with KK, if they shove, you are not facing AA 4% of the time. I dont have the exact numbers but my experience says that 90% of the time you face either QQ, AK or AA, equaly divided and you will win about 50% of the time. You probably mean that there is a chance that someone at the table has AA is 3%, but not amongst people that raise reraise and shove. That is simply not true. 90% of the times you raise with KK everybody folds preflop. The winrate in number of hands you win with KK is very high, but the winrate moneywise is not. You will loose big pots with KK, just like everybody else

[@MaryellenCrawford]

Somebody please explain to me what an inside straight is

[@rogerthomas648]

When your straight draw needs an in between card instead of the top Or bottom ( open ended)

[@MaryellenCrawford]

Thank you

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Example: You have 76 and the flop comes A53. You are looking to hit a 4 (inside straight draw).

[@dimmudimmu8512]

How not to be nit??!

[@matejhizel8974]

i want to say one thing, when you always tell us to play only high cards like pockets and AK or AQ which are premium cards. You say by this that we should fold every other hand that we get? because i lost a lot using this tip from you

[@explorer4161]

Lost alot meaning what, not winning money you could have won? Here's the thing, every hand can win In poker, and so if your comfortable losing big blinds every hand to see a flop in case your 2 4 off suit hits a straight or 2 pair or something, then do it. But if you on 2 4 off suit and someone raises it to 5 big blinds, are you really willing to pay 5 big blinds to see if there's a 2 pair or trips on the flop? My home game the blinds are only 25/50 cents, 20 dollar buy ins unlimited rebuys. I always see a flop for 50 cents, and sometimes I'll call out of position and lose that 50 cents to a bet later, but it's 50 cents I'm not to hurt by that. If the blinds were 1/2 dollars, I'm not willing to spend 2 bucks or even 1$ to see if my bad hand hits on the flop.... and their good hand doesn't.

[@explorer4161]

I guess in short form, play weak hands too if you want. Just don't bet weak hands, and don't call with weak hands.

[@matejhizel8974]

@@explorer4161 if i call nothing will come, if i fold ill get full house. too unlucky

[@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230]

Nathan I'm pissed because over the weekend I had the nut (ace) flush, and the other guy goes all in, I snap call and he has a straight flush!!! $50 down the drain. That's what makes me not want to play anymore

[@losyart]

What was the board?? ANd action?? There are some cases u could fold .Rare ones but some of the players never goes allin with king high flush when there is multiple combinations including str8 flush and nut flush beating them

[@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230]

@losyart I actually started off with pocket aces (heart and spade). I raise, he calls. Flop 2H, 8C, 8H. I raise $2, he calls. Turn 7H, he checks out of position, I also check (he already has a flush by then) river is 6H. He goes all in with 9H 10H. I called with the Ace flush. Just a bad beat. Figured maybe he had a king or queen high flush, and plus straight flushes are super rare.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Poker is cruel sometimes :/

[@matejhizel8974]

bro why you tell peaple to do this things… you are telling shit i swear, folding every other hand then high cards? i lost everything because i listened to you. thanks
