what do you think of the 5 "adjustments" to turn these BAD bluffing spots into good ones? amazing? ok? trash?

[@michaelhuning7588]

Marc! I see how these are logical, reasoned adjustments, bravo! I like that they align / agree with the previous videos as well. i.e. #1 with Bet Sizing Hacks, #2 with Playing OOP, #4 with Top 5 Spots to Bluff. Because I take in material better when I read vs. hear it, I've edited your "poker tips" videos into a grammatical, punctuated, textbook format with screen captures. If you want them, you are welcome to them. Maybe it will also help some else. Am I a little nuts? Well, yes!

Definitely one of the better poker strategy channels on KZbin. Insightful without being too convoluted or dry. Appreciate the content, thanks!

@@hungryhorsepoker anytime. I recommended your channel to some of my table mates this past weekend. Best of luck with everything!

[@ashotofconfidencemusic5819]

Marc really does have some of the best live cash game insights I've ever heard. Everything is easy to digest and implement within your next few sessions. I am an online cash game PLO grinder that mixes in some live sessions here and there. I admittedly feel like a fish out of water sometimes in live spots and finding this channel has lead to increasing my live winrate Really awesome stuff and I will definitely consider training if and when I ever want to take live seriously

[@tophmalone1324]

These are adjustments that I recently started figuring out and my win rates have skyrocketed. I am not afraid to bluff a big spot but was wondering how I was getting hero called enough to hurt my stack. Paying attention to spr has been tremendous for me to pull out of the hand because I know the pot size is going to be too big to bluff at on the river. You probably saved me months of playing, simply by telling me to cap my opponent. I didn’t fully understand what I was doing when I was accomplishing that but the way you phrased it just made everything click. Thank you man, your doing the lords work and I hope your channel blows up!

hell ya, love to hear it! consider joining us for a bootcamp in the future if u want all the sauce 😇

BEST live poker channel. Thank you

[@alanclark9913]

You've officially taken over as my favorite poker instructional channel! I'm relatively new to the game, playing about 2 years now, I just discovered your content about 5 weeks ago and already having significant improvements in both my $0.25/0.50 home game and $1/3 at my local card room. Great common sense strategy that I can actually understand the thinking behind rather than just endless charts/solver examples, keep it coming brother!

thank u thank u for the kind words! i started playing $5/5 1k cap in 2017 and moved up to 5/10/20 in 2018 and 10/20 and 25/50 in 2019

[@TheNow_Now]

A high boards are really over cbet BTN vs BB. BB defends all suited Ax (and low stakes players defend all offsuit Ax, too). Especially static boards its worthwhile to have x/back range at some frequency. they are great boards to x/r on from the BB with double back door draws, bc BTN will basically auto fold all worse pairs and K/Q high which can print

[@Renuu]

hello hungry horse poker! I have been following your channel for awhile now and I enjoy watching + learning with every new video. I am 19 attending college with no real set career plan and was wondering if you might have any advice for me if I potentially want to play poker professionally in the future or even just as a hobby. I want to be a winner either way! I play occasionally just with friends and only a couple of them actually think while playing so I don't think it really counts as good practice. I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR BOOTCAMPS! It's stated that it's only meant for those who are active live cash game players that really want to learn how to improve and start winning more... unfortunately I'm not legally allowed to play poker in southern california (except at some specific casinos with tables meant for 18+). Should I wait another 16 months to turn 21 and then start grinding? If I'm committed to learning the theory and logic behind playing strong poker, would you recommend me going out to a future bootcamp even with 0 live cash game experience? Or would it be much less effective and not worth it until I actually start playing?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

hey renuu! here's my advice: 1) don't play poker for a living. the ONLY time it makes sense to do this is when you're making so much more money playing than every other possible job you could have that it doesn't make sense NOT to play. you just don't have the data for this yet, so plan on doing something else, and poker as a hobby. if your initial instinct to this response is to tell me to STFU - you've got a chance. 2) start playing online. get reps in, develop fundamentals, work on your game and you'll be leagues ahead of everyone else by the time you're 21. 3) come back to us once you've got some live experience (and you've spent 100+ hours a month in a casino) and you've made SURE this is something you want to do. at that point, the investment will be sure to be worth it.

[@thejunkwarrior]

I feel like it’s the inverse in low stakes, when you bet big pot/overbet villain perceive it as you’re bluffing and you get called more than when you bet 1/2 or 2/3

[@hungryhorsepoker]

no

Fell in love with J92 ❤

[@guillermoalvarez9400]

Do you ever deviate whether to bluff or not based on whether you think opponents are calling stations or if you’re perceived to be an overbluffer (whether you are or not) or an opponent is on tilt and isn’t folding anything

[@hungryhorsepoker]

yes. stations are best to bluff rivers smaller because they get there with too much bs. i still bluff tho, just not for the big boy hammer sizes as much.

[@Fatpigkenny]

Marc - off topic question. I sometimes like to 3 bet small on medium strength hands - like 2.5x and see if they flat or 4 bet. If they flat I know they are capped. Any opinions on this approach?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

i think i'd prefer to use larger sizes because the mistakes most live players make is they call WAY too much. you're just losing value by using this size, and they still have strong hands because they don't 4b enough. with that being said - one of the strats i like to use in tougher games (say $20/40 with 6 regs, 2 fish) is whenever a fish opens - i 3b my entire continue range small to shut out regs and just get pot heads up IP. very effective for the goal. wouldn't recommend in softer games though.

[@kyledigiorgio6516]

Hey, Quick question. When i watch your vids it is obvious you have a lot of advanced knowledge on the game. I have done hours of studying myself and watching our vids makes me feel like I know so little and have so much to learn. Where do you get the most value when it comes to studying outside of solvers. Obviously a lot to learn from solvers but you seem to have a ton of exploitative knowledge as well. Was it just being around other people studying, groups, courses, books, youtube vids? Please share, and as always thanks for the vids.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

i never studied with anyone else, i never did any study myself til i started node locking / working with solvers to build baseline strategies for hungry horse. i just constantly ask: “what happens if?” and obsess over every hand and every line for days after i play a session. if i won the hand could i have won $20 more? if i bluffed on the turn and they folded could i have gone slightly smaller so they called turn and folded river? if they called my bluff on the river what does that mean next time i have value? and on and on and on. all the rest of it is a waste of time.

[@kyledigiorgio6516]

@@hungryhorsepoker thanks appreciate the insight

[@kyledigiorgio6516]

what solver would you recommend I get, as someone who has never used solvers? Just for insight, I'm currently playing 1/3 and a winning player who just really started tracking my hours and would love to be able to g full time here once i have the bankroll to feel confident in doing so. Right now just trying to study as much as possible and learn/ play everyday. Still make more money at my full time job as well which is another reason I have not jumped ship to full time.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

by making people win more, we show our stuff works, and more people join us for our bootcamps where we help them win a LOT more
