CRUSH Cash Games With These TOP TIPS!

Despite being a two-time World Poker Tour champion who mostly plays poker tournaments, I have played many cash games in my time and have learned a lot of valuable lessons that have helped my game. Whether you compete at the micro stakes or are a high stakes crusher, cash games offer poker players a great way to increase their bankroll whether playing poker online or in a poker room.
Today, we study up on cash game strategy and take part in some of my very own interactive quizzes. To beat cash games at any stakes, you must be well studied for when your opponents put you in tough spots. Getting tilted and playing like a maniac will get you nowhere at the poker table, apply the poker tips I share with you today and get ready to crush cash games.
By the end of today’s stream, I want YOU to take this quiz and let me know in the comments how you do: pokercoaching....

Jonathan, ive been almost living off your cash game videos recently, having it playing nearly all throughout the day. Thank you so much for making these! You rock man.

[@PokerCoaching]

Great to hear!

[@lucashatt8871]

hi man. would you mind sharing your experience so far? how much you improved and how much money you're making. today will be my first day playing cash game. what is your advise?

[@denniskrook2925]

Last months playing GG 25 NL. The 5 procent rake (8bb gap) is really a challenge to beat. Bankroll is very very slowly growing

[@PrestigeCarImports]

Perfect timing, been reading up on my cash game strategy, here in Melbourne cash games have a 10% rake but there is no tipping, the players range from abysmal to seasoned regulars in the 1/3 and 2/5 range. Have been playing well lately and got on some lovely tables Friday & Saturday night with some drunk randoms who were pretty much handing me their money

[@Optable]

Most profitable tables. Gotta love spots with these spots. The older guys constantly pulling out their $100 bill for another short stack just to punt it off to you are the greatest. I like to calculate my favorite ratios at these tables, the almighty Drink to BB stat- D/Bb and D/Stack ratio. It's like counting cards, except you're counting drinks. You can expect a punt from these dudes about every 4 hands 😂

[@CarefreeAus]

Are there bigger games at Crown in Melbourne.... Any 10/20 NLH I played a bit a few years ago in Perth (woeful) where people sat like NITS and the house rake was a joke... used to be a Vegas regular

[@PrestigeCarImports]

@@CarefreeAus there used to be but covid scaled things back, think atm they are running 1/3, 2/5 & some nights they have a 5/10, the play on weekends is mainly half drunks people having fun so easy to make some money

[@PrestigeCarImports]

@@Optable not wrong at all, the optimal GTO goes out the window when you're sitting next to a half drunk old fella who has bought back in for the third time already haha

[@CarefreeAus]

Thx... I'll probably move back to MLB next year.... get away from boring Radelaide

[@guillermoalvarez9400]

I’ve seen some bad aggro players become aware when someone is targeting them by grabbing a seat to their left. It makes them mad and tend to want to go after you. Same thing when you complain about them luckboxing, being a fish, etc. They tend to go after you more, and call/raise in spots they shouldn’t either to suck out on you, bluff you off a hand, or extract max value with legit hands using their image

[@soldiersunitedforcash1850]

Tonight I put in for a withdrawal on PSMi just to sign up for your top pack on Poker Coaching!! I can’t wait.

Your content is golden. I’ve humbly turned into a .15c/.30c & .25/.50c CRUSHER thanks to your content!! I can’t wait to take it to the next level with my membership.

Some live tells are the same as online tells. I learned tells online just by picking up on what I used to do as I got better. And figured out that it translated to live as well.

[@qsdailydose8970]

Awesome advice! Attention to detail! You’ve helped me so much bro

[@adrianamatlack532]

John when you talk about making games fun you said, "being a little bit active", how far should you get out of line to do this? Have heard you say this before and could you give some examples of hands you would bet or call with that you would normally fold? For example would you call a 4.5 open out of position with suited connector 100 bb deep or even something bad as JT as to not get a tight image. And how often. These are leaks but figure got to do it sometimes in very active games to not get an overly tight image, or use that image to bluff. How do you do this? You mention this form time to time, but it is a bit hard to figure out how far to go. As you know a lot of these plays are leaks. How out of line do you get?

[@basesperanca]

@36:04 You probably don't want to be calling with J high all that often 🤣

[@adrianamatlack532]

Would love a book all about heads up poker. Came back to listen to this again. Great info!

[@lucashatt8871]

when at cash game small stake , 6players table and 2 players are being very aggressive but playing good, the rest just limp. do i have a better chance if i leave the table looking for weaker opponents or do i change my strategy ? '

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

1/3Got h2h with a player that 3 bet preflop. Pot is at 60 I have A 9 hearts. Flop comes 8 K 7 two hearts and a club. I check he bets for half pot. I call to peel a card. I expect him to have a king. Turn is the 9 of clubs. Two flush draws on the table and I check. He bets out for 45 and I again call. River comes J of clubs. I check and he bets out 30. Seems like a set that wants thin value but afraid of the straight or flush. I rip it all in bluffing with 9s. He thinks a bit and shows his neighbor his card and folds. I ask if he had a set later and he had top set but couldn't beat the straight or flush I floated with...

[@brad2109]

I took the quiz. Ouch! I better study

[@SENSUI347]

SOO ABOUT BANK ROLL AM PLAYING PART TIME RN HOPEFULLY PRAYING 🙏 I CAN GO FULL TIME IN A FEW MONTHS..AM PLAYING TWO DAYS A WEEK 2-5 WITH TWO BUYINS PER DAY..IS THIS OK FOR NOW?

[@MikeLeeSr]

Seems like the only live tell that has been consistent for me is when less experienced people get the most nervous is a big pot and they have the nuts. Shaking,..face flushed ,etc. You think they would be more nervous while bluffing.

Perfect Timing Jonathan!! 👍👍👍

[@qsdailydose8970]

I play at a very loose and splashy home game that runs nightly into morning but with a bigger rake and I tip more definitely a loose fun casual atmosphere 5/5 splashing around. would this be better than a standard 2/5 at a casino with less rake? Talking long term. I haven’t been able to compare win rates.

[@RigobertoJuarez]

Can anyone share which online poker sites are safe to play, I live in Texas. Thank you

[@brandonhopkins5830]

I am just getting into poker and can not play on regulated sites in my states so my only option in North Carolina is to drive to Cherokee and 1/3 is the lowest stakes cash games they have. At the moment I do not have 10 buy ins or what ever stacked up to play is it ok if I save up acouple max buy ins to go play to get some practice as long as my expectations are a bit low ? I know technically my bank roll management is off but like I said I am new and kind of broke but am obsessed with the game and want to get better

My local home game for 1/3 takes $10 for the house $1 for jackpot and $1 for freeroll if the pots over $250 they take $13 for the house. Is this even beatable?

[@rickyr6178]

Hell no.

[@nomilknosugar4900]

There are two answers to your quiz I think are questionable. I play full ring 25NL on Stars. First, I think a 9bb raise with AQo IP vs. 4 limpers is too big. I know 9bb lays our opponents the correct odds in theory, but my experience is that this big a raise will generate too much fold equity. You want your opponents to continue OOP with ATo or QJo, which they will fold to a 9 bb raise unless they are absolutely awful players. Second, if you flop top 2-pair OOP 3-way on 982 two tone, and you face a bet and a raise, BUT should be fully polarised. I'm really surprised you aren't suggesting calling here and keeping your opponents in with their bluffs/marginal overplayed stuff. Against very good opponents who understand that we can have lots of bluffs here and realise they have to bluff catch with K9, then sure, jamming is great.

[@JTbets81]

1/3 (rake is hourly) with 50bb(20 buyins) is this doable?

[@PokerCoaching]

I am not sure what you are asking.

[@JTbets81]

Am I under bankroll playing 50bb at a 1/3game ?

[@rickyfiorentina]

@@JTbets81 50 bb at at 1/3 is $150. That is not 20 buyins my man, and that is probably why you confused jonathan. No $150 is not proper bankroll for 1/3. You probably want closer to 1500-3000$

[@PatrickA1]

The last four times in a row I had KK I ran into AA. Running bad live but crushing online.

[@tylerslenk8243]

that's not running bad, that's playing bad. learn how to fold KK.

[@PatrickA1]

@@tylerslenk8243 the standard raise for 1-2 is 15 pre I 3 bet to 60 he 4 bet to150. Half my stack is in and spr is low.. None of the flops contained an ace and mostly low cards. I have no choice. Am I supposed to fold KK to every 4 bet? Also this was not an OMC it was a young guy I never seen before.

[@connorcrump3825]

@@PatrickA1 he was joking

[@rickyr6178]

I folded kings on a flop of J 10 9 board it was 3 bet to 50 preflop called to evaluate flop but when he bet 55 dollars on flop I told him if I fold can you show me I folded he shown the table aces!! Most players are not bluffing with 3 bets to 4 bets in small stake cash games nothing you can do when board is low though.
