[@terencehill3972]

Absolutely, love it too! Although in 2024, the concept of position and Modern Poker Theory already is somewhat outdated (admit it - you never really understood what’s the big deal about information anyway) and we’ll see a trend back to the long forgotten, what Dan Harrington once called “first-in vigor” - the power of first to pressure. You’ve heared it here first! You’re down with OOP? Yeah, you know me!

Best all-around intermediate poker video on KZbin in 2024. I’m about to watch it for the fourth time.

[@heavyequipment1930]

Problem is now, while gripsed is the best KZbinr, the basics and various strategies styles are out there now and this video was originally from the golden era. Now I find a lot of live games have few to no beginners just intermediates and table grinders. Hard to find splashy games I like to go in the early to late afternoon and try to hang on until the wknd evening rush

[@wcmjohnsonchris]

One of the best videos I have seen. I feel like once you get a basic understanding of poker you realize how good this video is. It is just about the easiest way to take a jump to the next level but taking the time to watch this video. I also think this should only be used once you have an understanding of when you probably should fold. I think if I tried to play this agressive when I first started, I would not know when to step aside because the aggression/bluff wasn't working because I was crushed.

take the odds of both required cards and multiply them. so for the flush you had 10 outs to hit the turn (21.3%) x 9 outs to hit the river (19.6%) = 4.17% your odds of making a runner runner flush are about 24:1

[@joebertucci813]

I am trying to bust out of my Elephant animal type and turn Lion or Tiger. I, for maybe the 1st time ever floated air and made my backdoor flush not once, but twice. I would have not known that was 24-1 odds. I am glad for this reality check. Sometimes online poker is unreal...

[@mariusmusicandscience]

Dear Gripsed or other people watching this video in 2016, Aren't the odds in the table at 34:00 a bit too low? When having 9 outs, the chance of hitting an out is 9/(52-5)+9/(52-6), which is 38,7%, while on this table it says the chance provides you a chance of only 35,0% The same thing applies to the other equities. Please tell me if I'm wrong or made a mistake in my calculation. Thanks!

three of a kind, when it is a set, can improve my either pairing the board, or making four of a kind. On the flop there are only 2 cards you can pair on the turn. On the turn there are now 3 cards you can pair on the river, which is what accounts for those additional 3 outs.

IMO when playing the lowest stakes the most important part of your game is value betting. Also the stations at micros are willing to call anything with any piece so if you think you are ahead v a station just bet near the pot on each street and get the most from them. Playing multiple tables will increase your win rate as you play less hands and thus the top end of your range. Bluffing is only really good v the grinders who only want to play the fish and wont bother fighting back that often

30:45 - I think that Straight Draw doesn't necessarily has to have 8 outs, it's pretty common sense that you can have a straight draw with a 1 card gap OR when your straight is lowest or highest. For example you have A3, the board is 24J, you have 4 outs and that are 5 of each suit. There are only 8 outs of you have an open straight draw such as 89TJ, where the outs are Q of each suit and 7 of each suit, 2 cards times 4 suits = 8 outs. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

[@tfyffe1985]

+Hugh Jainus A straight draw implies open ended (or double belly buster/gut shot- such as TJ on a 78KA board). The gut shot/belly buster is usually referred to if you have the 4 out straight draw.

Yes, TT-QQ are blockers to AK making a flush, but their increased equity vs AK (as compared to 22's equity) is actually mostly due to the lowered risk of being counterfeited (e.g. on a double-paired board).

How do you use pot odds for calling on the flop when you are going to face more betting on the turn and different pot odds there? (Is pot odds on the flop meaningless?)

[@gripsed]

Pot odds is what you use when planning for the next street. If you expect to face 2 bets then you would calculate your odds on each street. Knowing the odds with 1 card to come and 2 cards to come is very helpful as it will help you find the +EV situations!

This pot odds formula help to see when u call is it profitable or not, in the vid you say str8 draw or flush draw will be profitable if opponent bet 25 into 100 on the flop. It defnitely looks profitsble to me uh. But the formula [25+100]/ 25 = 5 is to 1 (20%) Straight draw is 8 outer, 17.6%. (equity) But base on formula isnt this a losing call. Equity is < pot odds. So was wondering how do you gauge whether its a profitable call based on the formula, calling 1/4 for a 8 outer draw is definitely profitable to me. But i am curious on how to use the formula to gauge.

[@DJcyberslash]

This was a great refresher

[@CNCTEMATIC]

This is awesome for a beginner like me. So much of the poker stuff assumes you know all these basic concepts, or is just way obvious.One thing I don't understand (probably shows my level)--if you have a flush draw with one card to come, why aren't the odds 1/4 or 25%? I assume its something to do with known dead cards, but I don't know why the other unknown dealt hands mean any given card is still one in four to be a given suit.

[@randompokevideos]

+CNCTEMATIC Let's say you are playing against only one other person and he has no hearts and you have two. Out of the four cards on the table right now, 2 are hearts and 2 are other suits. That leaves a total of 9 hearts in the deck (13-your 2 - 2 on table), out of the total 44 (52- 2 your hand - 2 his hand - 4 on board). 9/44 = 20.45%

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Kellen Massie Thanks--but still don't get it. In a, say, 6-handed game there are another 12 dealt cards. If you *assume* none of the opponents have hearts, the odds become 9/32 or 28%. Of course you can't assume that, tho. If you just assume 1/4 of dealt hands are hearts, and you know four hearts are dead, giving you your draw...my guess is that lowers the chance of a given unknown card being a heart. I'm not sure how. gripsed gives such an exact number. I just remember the rule of thumb that the odds of any card being dealt at any point is 1/52 ~2%, and one isn't told to adjust that after cards are dealt as (I thought) such chances more in proportion with the number of dealt cards.

[@JoshTheDoshSkateboarding]

+CNCTEMATIC u cant weigh in all the players hands into your formula becauseyoull neveer know what theyre hands are

[@CNCTEMATIC]

+Josh Jones hi, yeah I agree, that's my point, so I don't know how come the odds of making a flush draw with one card to go aren't simply 25%

[@GenPython]

+CNCTEMATIC --- Oh..... I think I see your mistake in logic....... It's a very easy answer. The reason why you do not get 25% for one card to come is because you no longer have 52 cards from which to choose. If you had a full deck to choose from (all 52 cards) then you are correct..... The odds that you will select any given suit is exactly 25% because there are 13 of them in a deck of 52. 13/52 = 25%. But you see...... anytime cards have already been dealt then your odds will change because the situation has changed. 13/52 = 25% no longer describes the situation correctly. As soon as you said "if you have a flush draw with one card to come" then your math has to change as well. You no longer have 13/52 = 25%. Think about it. How many of your suit are still left in the deck? Only 9. It is a fact. You can see 4 of your suit with your own eyes. 2 on the board and 2 in your hand. So out of the total of 13 how many of that same suit are left? Nine. The other fact is that those other 9 cards of your drawing suit are spread among a subset of 46 unknown cards. You have 6 known cards and 46 unknown cards. (you don't know what your opponent has). One thing to remember about math is that it is nothing but a tool to describe a situation with numbers. When you change the situation you have to change your math too in order to correctly describe the real situation. 1/4 = 25% DOES NOT correctly describe your scenario of "-if you have a flush draw with one card to come". The correct odds are now 9/46 = 19.6%.

Would you adapt the math for MTTs ? Especially in turbos, I think bluffing comes at a higher price since there is usually less room for bluffing without directly risking a 25-50% of your stack. So, how does the math change taking the importance of stack protection into account? Or at least, getting comfortable with being aggressive and losing many MTTs in cases of failed bluffs. Especially in the later states of the tournament, the progress you made becomes more valuable.

[@neillaarons1721]

you mentioned that Pairs and High Cards ie A10 might make better hands one on one, but if 4 or 5 people are seeing the flops, you have better equity if you are on a draw. Also, you mentioned that Equity at the Beginning of the hand isnt the same as at the end of the 7 cards.... But how often are you betting the Turn and River with more than one or two other players? as you bet the Turn, arent you still weeding out weaker hands and, as such, creating a one-on-one or 3 way pot? and (sorry for the compound question,) since going for 3 of a kind or 2 pair is masked better, and if you have a draw and the draw comes in, you're likely to get paid Less when you get there...unless you've been double barreling like a semi bluff........Your thoughts?

10:34 "When someone takes an aggressive action before the flop, they usually follow it up with an aggressive action before the flop." Wow, that sounds really dumb. Just one example of how you need to have an understanding of the triple threat concept before you watch this confusing video, in order to understand this confusing video. Another example is his use of the phrase "behind you" in that sentence at 7:53. I have no idea if this means after your turn, or before your turn, or "behind you" as in they have a worse hand than yours, or even something else. As well he says "real hand," which I think means a good hand, but I don't know for sure. Maybe someone could clarify for me, because I would like to know.

[@RootedMind]

I think he misspelled and wanted to say that if someone is agr. before the flop, he will play his agr. line mostly on the flop and the later streets too.

[@RootedMind]

Behind you means that someone is able to act after you did an action like calling or raising.

[@RootedMind]

He said that the fewer players could act behind you, the fewer is the chance that you will run into a real hand. Real hand means sth like good hand, right. If there are 8 players to act behind you, it is more likely that someone have AA or AK. If there is only 1 player left (sb v bb) its much harder that this player has Aces or Ace King.

[@RootedMind]

I didn't watched the video till now so I am sorry for context failures but I Think i answered you questions correctly

[@gripsed]

correct, I meant to say they will usually follow it up with an aggressive action after the flop. And behind you means to act after you, rather than having a worse hand in this case.

[@jcjensenllc]

it seems that for the agressive strategy to work, the hero would have to always do same thing with same cards. Example, always go all in when you flop straight flush (SF) draw, no exception. If you did not go all in with SF draw some times and randomly win more small pots but other times went all in on SF draw then randomly lost some of those, doesn't that screw up your odds of winning long term. It seems you would have to win higher percentage of the small pots to balance the losses on big pots. Is this correct?

[@cannyreid4304]

Hey Evan I got a question. Is it true that the calculation of the BESR and Pot odds look the same but have different outcome? or am I doing it wrong? I'll give you an example how I did this, the pot is 100 and we face a bet of 25 BERS: 25/(25+100) = 1/5 or 20% Pot odds: (100+25)/25 = 5:1 or 16.66%

Hi Evan. Thanks for all your videos, think they are great. Just a quick question. Early on in the video you said that a player will miss the flop 50% of the time yet when you do the odds of flopping something (around 31 mins) you say there is a 33% chance of flopping a pair? Is the other 17% a person flopping draws?

There is a problem with the Breakeven success rate formula. The problem is that half of the pot is already your money, so if you bet the pot you are risking 100 to win 50, the other 50 in the pot are from you, so that needs to be adjusted in the calculation.

[@gripsed]

Once money is in the pot it no longer belongs to you. When we are doing math calculations for poker we treat money in the pot as dead money. Each street is a mini game which starts with the dead money in the middle and then we add the player bets.

[@zada4a]

@@gripsed I understand, but this would also mean that every mini game costs you money to play (half the pot)... So you might be profitable in the mini game, but was that profit enough to beat the entry price

Ok i just have a Question. Flush and straight draw vs hi set. is litle down. E.G AA VS JQ and flop A 10 9 with FLUSH draw you still have 42,12 % change of win. or 40,61 if the ace have the some flush with other 2 So what is mathimatical the max pot odd call with this hand( all in on frop by aces) Even if have hand like 22 vs JQ with 2 10 9 down is steal 58-42 favore from set... But i need the mathimatical correct pot odds if all in set on flop If i am not so wrong even if he bet DOUBLE the pot you have a profit call. 1+2=3 pot down. you risk 2 pot, so is 3/5 pot= 40%. = at least to call... with excel i see that (if i am no wrong) that 2,16 pot pet is good in any case (40,60%) and 2,67 pot(42,11%) if opponent Does not have double flush draw. Hmm is ULTRA GOOD HAND THE STRAIGHT FLUSH DRAW...

Hey gripsed I just want to start by thanking you for the leaps and bounds of information you've passed down, im still wrapping my head around some of the math and was just curious as to why you have better odds to flop a flush draw (with suited hole cards) then a straight draw (with connecting hole cards), but yet still better odds to flop a straight then a flush given the same hole card situations?

do you take in to consideration the rake when calculating pot odds? Obviously in a home game with no rake If I'm getting the right odds to call it's a no brainer, but if the rake at the casino or online site bring me below the odds to required should I then fold? In other words when there is a rake should I be looking for slightly better odds than I would when there is no rake?

[@gripsed]

I don't, but if you're playing full time and considering every dollar then yes paying attention to rake is worth doing.

Hi i am a begginer in poker for now,i only play with my friends ,and they are also begginers.The 2 problems i get and i don't know how to solve it is almost all the time they call the blind if nobody raise it pre flop,they rarely fold,the second one is that each time i want to raise to make them fold they still call even when they have J 4 off and sometimes we reach the showdown and they have the stronger hand..... So what i'm trying to say is how much should i raise if my stack size is around 500 and the bb is 10? or how i should approch the situation?

[@schroederluck7984]

+Buta Dan Play like a NIT. Wait until you have a good hand with over a 50% chance to win and bet sizable amounts. If they just blindly call you, this is an easy way to take advantage of them. Once they realize they are losing to you a lot when you bet big, you can start bluffing more. Don't think that just because you think you are a good player that you can win with any hand every single time.

Why does a straight flush draw have 15 outs? Wouldn't have either 4 or 8 depending on if its a gut shot draw or open ended?

[@justinwhite2725]

I think that stat is to draw either the flush or the straight. if you have JT suited and the flop has KQ suited then you have 9 more suited cards to give you the flush and 6 other unsuited cards (A or 9) to give you the straight, for a total of 15 outs for the best possible hand.

[@gripsed]

+Justin White Correct! +InternetCannonFodder was just thinking about the 'straight' part of the 'straight-FLUSH' draw =D

Flop was K69 one diamond and turn is 2 of diamonds. im struggeling with calculating his equity and therefore the net. gain cause i can hit 10 cards to win and he can hit 18 i think because you start with 52 cards -4flop - 2 burn - 18 hole cards(14mucked) so if there are 28 cards left before the river am i right for assuming his equity is 36% ?? or am i doing it wrong ?

[@johnstdm1]

Hi there, you don't count the burned or mucked cards because you dont know what they are. By taking them out of the equation, it's like you're saying that you know those cards are worthless (but you dont! what if the mucked cards had two of your outs and three of the people who folded held other outs for you?!). This is why you need to calculate equity as if every card not in your hand/on the board might come up on the flop/turn/river.

I use to buy in around 200 BB. So what is the best way to play against such players in the future? I know I have to be more paitent in waiting on good cards to call their shoves, but what kind of cards should I play here? Should I call with, lets say, 22 or A4 off? or JT?

[@zacka1337]

in MTTs, ill generally let them get knocked out if theyre all in preflop, If its early in a tournament and i dont have a read on them its not best to assume they are donkeys though cuz then you can get koed easily. BUT if I know someones being going all in with weird hands like 10-6 offsuit and shit, and clearly isnt bluffing with having everyone covered and being in position(really pay attention) I will call with like 77+/TJs,TAs QKo, even TT+ if theyre a tighter donkey, its honestly personal decision, you just wanna be trying to play good poker and not caving in to their gameplay, wait for the hands where you can see the flop if you have to, you'd be surprised how far you get in a MTT sitting out in comparison to amateurs and donkeys, its actually funny, i know im not evan but felt i should offer my 2 cents

What was mentioned about A10 suited vs. J10 suited?

[@gripsed]

The benefits of Ace suited vs other suiteds is that when they make a flush, it's the nut flush, and you'll often get to play for stacks against hands which are drawing dead. JT is special in that it makes more nut straights than most hands, and also flops top pair a decent amount of the time. But with J high flushes some caution is usually required
