How to Beat $0.25/$0.50 Zoom on PokerStars!

Drinking game: take 1 shot for every time I say "solid poker"

[@Holdo23]

Great video. You mention alot to study what you "should" be doing in certain spots. Would you be able to do a video showing how to do that? maybe pick 5 common spots and go over how you would study what you "should" do and talk about making adjustments based on player types? thanks

[@lautben]

I always have the dicotomy between opening tight because of the high rake and opening loose because people are massive nits on low stakes zoom.

Me "crushing" nl10 at 5bb/100 and thinking im the boss Jarretman at nl50 : "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players" "weaker players"

[@ghjk5827]

I laughed a lot at you playing in this video. Great video! I would love to see you play more at these micro limits. Play nl5 one day, just for entertainment!

[@lucasriven2115]

Hey thanks for the video, that helps a lot! Is it possible to find high rakes games ranges somewhere pls?

[@Marinate305]

Thank you for the key takeaways at both the beginning and end of the video.

[@diogocosta4126]

Very interesting video Jarretman. If possible please keep doing videos like this, fields are very different and I saw some important adjustments

[@Maas90]

you've got me drunk

[@maciejzastawny88]

Bro, BIG THX FOR THAT!!! I PLAY 10NL i i needed something like this.

[@paulicas1]

Hi dude, awesome videos. Would you say Ax suited oop or IP works better as a call or 3bet? I 3bet them at 100% frequencies and find myself in awkward spots a lot, punting a lot.

[@florentegrix7583]

Hey Jarretman, Thank's a lot for this video, I'm currently playing this limit and it really help me :D If you can make some other videos on z50 or z100, it would be amazing. GL from France :)

[@Snowy123]

Thanks for the educational video I’ve subscribed

[@RyanSpicer]

what do you make of your C/C w 87s towards the end? Not convinced we have 25% vs his range, given parts dominate our outs, and we still have river action to face being OOP. I suppose if you are planning on donking some spade rivers then maybe though. I'd be tempted to barrel turn with the equity we have. Not greating blocking 77/88 to be fair, but we also unblock spades which is kinda nice property for 3 barrels.

[@fabiolucas8701]

thx. very nice , ur way to trasmit its fantastic. congratz monster.

[@dariomladenovski7047]

hey man are you streaming on twitch ?

[@julianoguerramusica]

Awesome video, as usual.

[@MrFunnyWobbl]

Would love to see 10z with the ante!!

[@claudioleinhold6421]

Hello jarretman, can I ask you, what stats would you consider when building a hud for zoom 50; I am a 50 reg player, and I have a lot of information available, and although I know something of the fundamentals of the gto and some population exploits, I think I make serious mistakes in the use of information by using the same hud as for regular tables. I would also like to ask you if in cases where I face villains who play both zoom and reg tables at 50 should i use the regs tables info or just focus on the zoom info. Your point of view would be very helpful. Thank you

[@NClottery]

Hey J man newbie here I have a question you keep saying expoliative poker? what do you mean by that? you say " expoliative poker unless you know what the base line is or the equlibrum is you can't expoliative someone" what do you mean J man Thanks you awesome video :)

[@modeob88]

or What is the best way to lear how to play "solid poker" or to play GTO or close ?

[@sharkyjawz1342]

Hey jarretman, been binging your videos for a while now! Glad to have come across some concise, well thought out content from a higher stakes player! PS have implemented ante games to the zoom pools below this (50z) and was wondering what adjustments you'd advise besides... Ive added slightly less than the cumulative total of the antes to my original raise size (ante = 0.75bb) went from 2.5bb (3.1bb) as I feel pool hasn't quite adjusted and is still playing fairly tight! A few Q's id love to hear your insight on... 1: players choosing a larger sizing (4bb) we are incentivized to raise more the larger the opening right? Would you still choose 4x OOP and 3-3.5x ip or would you scale down and would you fold or choose to flat marginal combos ip? We should develop mixed strategies pre with the presence of the antes but we're still getting f'd by rake if we start cc a bunch of combos pre! Ofc if he chooses a larger sizing than he should also open tighter which would incentivize our range to 3b tighter. There's a strange dichotomy between high rake environments that implement antes into their cash game. I used to play alot on GG last year when they implemented it and ran fairly well but it seems that ante cash games make the games harder to beat. I recently bought solved 50z ranges and then the next week they implemented the antes so I've returned to bts type ranges although I know learn the ranges then just play solid poker and don't try to stick to perfect frequencies pre! What's your thoughts on these ante games and could make an interesting topic for your next P&E? Lol! Keep up the good work! *edit: just saw the ante games mentioned at the end... I'd eagerly anticipate a video if you decide to cover the topic. Thanks again!

[@paulicas1]

Holy crap dude, who do u think has the time to read all that?

[@Diesel-gp2zz]

@@paulicas1 AHAH LMAO😂

[@Diesel-gp2zz]

Hey man , so you said that any hands that is not a pure open you would fold. What about hands that are not pure 3bet against rfi or hands that are 50% 75% call against rfi? Same questions for 4bet ranges, thanks bro

[@jtcash44]

Love your videos. I was screaming call vs Tierney76 around the 12min mark. I play those stakes and that guy is an ATM.

[@doejohn2998]

Please make other type of videos too. Filter on certain situations (river barrel spots, BxB, turn/river play after flop XR, 3bet pots turn/river SBvIP etc etc) and make a HH review videos, that would be awesome!

[@fer230359]

Tks, i really need for session that!

[@Rahulkumar-us3lm]

Ur way of explaining things is way too understandable... It's simple and solid.. Thanks a lot for improving my game.

[@haugi357]

If youre gonna be doing more live plays of lower stakes, have you thought about maybe taking some footage from subscribers and analyzing their plays at those stakes? You play really really well obviously so that might be a good way of also pointing out common mistakes and leaks of lower stakes regs

[@1337murk]

You could use pokersnowie for this

[@SLowPLaYaH]

Do you happen to know Krzysztof Slaski by chance?

[@209twitch]

I play 40nl and this is great! MMAsherdog released 50nl footage too, what a treat

[@209twitch]

@unknown territory ok

[@1337murk]

@unknown territory Damn you're a toxic guy. Tilt much at the tables?

[@ryceryder85]

Can we talk about the fold with T9s on 987hearts flop?

[@orangeteax1789]

Definitely gonna try that oven-baked salmon recipe, definitely GTO. Thanks, Jarretman

[@Jarretman]

Coat the salmon with olive oil and then season with salt & pepper generously, bake for 15 mins at 450F and serve :) super easy, healthy, and delicious.

[@NCudi]

LMAO good one

[@modeob88]

What do you mean by "play solid poker" ?

[@mikoajkoodziejski2335]

Much Love

[@jamesevans2507]

14:24 me: nice this guy shoved into his nut straight, easy call. jarretman: we have a pretty easy fold. i should just quit poker tbh

[@ryceryder85]

I thought it was a call too.

[@real_poker]

Just play solid. But spewing is so tempting...

[@pokerkramer1240]

Could you make more videos like that, preferably playing a little bit of NL25 too? Show some love for us poor mortals from microstake!

[@bobcongo8253]

Ty for the content, please play only 2 tables, it's win-win, you won't time out anymore & you can go deeper with your tought so we learn a bit more.

[@marcellomparski8390]

What about the random numbers?

[@stumbras2000]

why use 100 RNG, if it is just 50/50 2 RNG would be easier, of course if the decisions are more complicated...

[@kevincloonan9787]

6:46 fold 77 to a UTG raise ? not set mining ?

[@phamnhat2925]

cold calling out of position with 4 players left to act is bad in a high rake environment

[@susymay7831]

Nice.

[@summonedskull98]

what about $0.02/$0.05 NL? Any tips there?

[@modeob88]

play solid poker ;)

[@PeterChien189]

Do you ever get requests to play higher stakes? That would be more interesting

[@Jarretman]

Next time I'll play $0.26/$0.52

[@vittoriohalfon]

22:51 What did he muckkk?

[@missclik1419]

cap in nl 50 =2$ w 5+plauers a half when less than 5 players , in stars .. probably 3$ & even more in other sites ..there is a huge difference i believe

[@TimoRJensen]

It's capped at .75$ for every amount of palyers to the flop below 5.

[@spale999]

I'd like to lose 20 buy in's in this game hahahahahahaha

[@wj7388]

12:44 I can easily guess why he sigh lol.. "wtf is that size ? f!"

Hello, can I email you somewhere? thanks

[@roypaenen]

Loved the video a lot, but did you missread the straight @14:25 ?

[@sharkyjawz1342]

Nah he overfolded because of monotone flop!

[@roypaenen]

@@sharkyjawz1342 Then I don't agree with the fold I'm afraid.

[@sharkyjawz1342]

@@roypaenen I may be wrong and he did misread it?

[@druhrmann]

looks like a made flush which would mean that his straight is dead or a flushdraw that actually has a decent amount of equity. Facing this huge overbet just makes it not profitable to call here

[@sharkyjawz1342]

@@druhrmann I agree we can definitely overfold vs ob when villain isn't balanced and pure value but if he's capable of ob nfd or set w/ flush blocker it's an easy continue.. Wierd spot for sure. Monotone boards are tricky!

[@G0DofRock]

Way too tight. Won't even open 87s MP but calls in the SB 76s. Says only flat IP then flats JJ EP instead of 4b/folding.
