Where do YOU play your live cash games? 😃

[@gkb1973]

Texas card house. Unbelievable action.

[@saschatube1517]

backroom hookah lounge. 10% of buy in goes to the owner. There is no softer game in the world - I am sure

In the 5/10 example I bet 400 on the turn.

This is possibly the best poker strategy video I’ve watched. After watching it I played $1/$2 cash and cashed nearly 3x my starting stack!

[@ardeesflyin696]

Every time I watch a Little video, I get so much out of my experience at the table. Thanks for everything!

[@PokerCoaching]

I'm so glad you enjoy it!

[@therominator8709]

I just made you my new Poker coach. Black Rain taught me some very effective skills but he doesnt teach live cash games. I live in MN where online Poker is not legal so I NEEDED THIS VIDEO. I watched and then went to my practice sight and im doing so much better. I need to rebuild my bankroll before I go back to the casino but I feel more and more ready every time i play!

[@grandmasterkevv]

Online poker isn't legal in Texas either, but I still play every day on Ignition. You can play the micros and practice all these strategies with very minimal loss to your bankroll on there. It really helps to put in a lot of volume online in the micros for practice. The 0.2c/0.5c usually plays like a $1/$2 live cash game, but without the live tells.

[@buckleup8962]

I watch every video on 1.5x speed but have to go to normal speed for you otherwise it’s too fast haha. Solid video as always. My biggest flaw is creating big pots and then feeling stuck calling because of it.

[@Big_Old_Bondy]

When IP you could exercise pot control and when OOP you could check 70% of your range. This way you will not be bloating pots unnecessarily.

[@johnhandel2888]

I appreciate how precisely Jonathan annunciates the word “blunder”

[@plastichead8407]

I watch this video all the time. Today, by the 11:00 mark, I re-realized I play too wide and 3-bet incorrectly far too often. These videos are gold. As soon as I can afford it I’m buying in for the year. Thanks for all the work you do for FREE Johnathan. It’s very, very appreciated.

[@coltcoburn3917]

Loved this video, I’ve been calling w 9/10 suites far to often leaking chips even in position. Had a great session right after this running up 275bb!! 🙏

[@qsdailydose8970]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@gunsup0331]

was grinding hard against some big stacks today, couldnt call much less bet for most of the session. woke up with 65s IP and flopped the nut straight. finally got paid with this very versatile hand

[@9Greyskies]

This video has helped me a lot. Thank you sir

[@PokerCoaching]

Glad it helped!

[@D.WhiteJr]

I played my first 1/3 game in over 10 years. Last Friday I went at it the Poker coaching way and made $300 in 4hrs Crazy enough if I would have played like a dummy I could have made possibly 300 more and lost it all with too much risk and variance…. I felt like I was playing a low risk game and was just slowly stacking chips. I Even folded Pocket 10s preflop one hand To pocket AAs Folded AJ off a few times too the guy next to me thought I was nuts. Playing this way allowed me to get thru 2 really good bluffs

[@D.WhiteJr]

$4 max rake in the game I played

[@Tehokaksikko8882]

I am learnin lot of things whaching your staff thanks everything you i have done 👍

[@warrenbuffet6126]

As the dad of a 2.5 year old it gave me a chuckle to hear your narrative of your kid causing a ruckus. I very much relate to the chaos, except my kid would be losing their mind because she’s being told she can’t climb in the freezer. Thanks for the content, there is so much to learn! One thing I would disagree with is the assumption that low stakes players are bad because if they weren’t they would’ve moved up. I know lots of really fantastic low stakes players that don’t move up because it is recreational and the low stakes are just more comfortable.

[@Mtko.C]

Thanks!

[@olivergrigull5647]

Thanks

[@capnmorgandarts]

I'm REALLY looking forward to this new chart system going live!

[@martinnixon5757]

[@richer12455]

Utilized your concepts last night (def didn’t play perfect) but found it so helpful! Thanks again. What would you charge for private coaching?

[@PokerCoaching]

Awesome! See PokerCoaching.com/private

[@iitstu]

Weird to not use a solution that doesn't account for rake when you're talking about games where rake is the highest

[@PokerCoaching]

GTO charts for some of these live cash games aren't very interesting. Many students play in games where people 5x preflop in a high rake environment... and you're supposed to just open fold JJ facing the raise ha! Much more beneficial to look at this as a baseline, because GTO charts assume perfect post-flop play, but in small stakes that doesn't happen, so playing wider is better.

[@iitstu]

@@PokerCoaching Appreciate all the work you do, thank you for clarifying!

[@Big_Old_Bondy]

It's probly safe to just lose the very bottom of the range with the rake in play and tighten up a bit

[@utterlyrelaxed9109]

​​@@PokerCoachingCan you please explain why you say you should open fold JJ...

[@yavinebrewer1393]

​@@utterlyrelaxed9109bc I'm these low limits majority of the players only 3b AA,KK AK suited and QQ. You're in bad shape vs the pairs and flipping vs AK.

[@KeevinPokerVlog]

Great material in this one. Can I book some of those private $0 coaching sessions plz

[@lewisi5353]

Midway through, you spoke about how "open-raising bigger than 3x BB" is torching money. My local games can raise anywhere from 5x-15x when RFI. How do you adjust preflop strategy for weird raise sizings? Would be great to have a video on this :)

[@bookedroomer]

The bigger the sizing the less you defend and if they are raising huge which creates bigger pots leading to lower SPR treat it kind of like a 3 bet pot

[@kyleadams9301]

Nice job JL

[@rhainc2263]

You’re training videos have been excellent for recent profits and minimizing losses. Keep making these videos!

[@loganadolf7363]

Poker has a similar amount of "luck" as chess or pool in the sense that you're halfway betting on the ability of your opponent to be able to surpass their own shortcomings or not...AKA don't play streetside chess hustlers or dive bar pool sharks unless youre sure you have the ability to properly bet against them in the event of a mistake. Thoughts?

I am stuck in a fixed limit state (MN) that pursues online poker sites. what do you recommend for a live fixed limit 3 / 6 kill hold 'em game?

[@evannatland5151]

Love watching these videos and this guy recounting everything I did in my last game as exactly what NOT to do 😂😂😂 omfg I'm like a Goliath grouper 🐟🐠🎣🐡🎏🍣

[@evannatland5151]

Would you use this as strict rules and not deviate but more like a HARD guideline, like use this script until your experiences enough to make some weirder calls? I'm leaning towards the latter but I'm curious what others say.

[@user-hy4sf3rw2w]

Something other than red green would be sweet for the colorblind folks

[@djbb7079]

Good modern books doe live cash games at low stakes? Or good forums?

[@et3152]

You should consider making a video on how to adjust and play in the wild cash (1/2 and 1/3 match the stack) games going on in Texas. I went out last Friday expecting a loose, but normal 1/2 game and was immediately off my game at how crazy they are. We opened the table with 300 dollars. I was only going to kill a couple of hours before I had obligations, so only brought 400 total. Within an hour stacks built (and matched) up to about 1K and I was the overwhelmingly shortest stack. People were opening 10x, calling with any 2, 5 way all in for 1200 pot...I didn't adjust, was kind of caught off guard. I tried to be patient and pick a spot in position to get it in, but no one even blinked at my 180 dollar shove. I was stacked when I got KK 4 bet the two 10x opens for 180 got 4 callers. I think I know how to adjust to it going forward, but its a whole different game than most are used to.

[@codyking4342]

You are correct. I watch these videos and all I think is “all the guys i play with at texas card house dont give a crap what position theyre in” lol. 1/2 NL and your chart says to bet 8 dollars, minimum bet at these tables is 30 or 40 bucks. Its way way different. Obviously some of them are good players but its way way crazier than these charts allow for

[@qtran6847]

So this strategy is to help you crush at low stakes vs players who aren't good but the strategy only works if the players are decent and follow this gto?

[@knuthansen2510]

Can't remember a single live session in almost to decades, where folding AJo UTG would have been +EV. People flatting all kinds of 1-3 gappers and suited trash and fall in love with tptk. This is my usual experience at 2/2 - 2/5. I'm beating the games (not much skill needed) but keep it as a hobby because of regulation/high tax in my country. Just my 3 cents.

[@oldterry9476]

how to adjust for rake and size of bet in relation to stack sizes

[@nickl.20]

Get tighter. Anything borderline gets folded. Only the inner part of the range stays.

[@Jlc647]

You said that any game where people are raising more than 3x they are just torching money. I play 2/5 full time and standard raise is 4-6x, by good players too, and any stream I see it is the same. Thoughts?

[@Jlc647]

[@robjelley1138]

Why is 65suited so powerful? Is it because it doesn’t interact with their range ?

[@MrPlazaPlayer]

I love playing super low limits, why would I want to risk losing to better players. Granted, I am an oddity. I must be the only player with no ego. Super video as usual JL. I wish I had more time to fully get into training, it’s not feasible unfortunately.

We have charts for rake and no rake because both games exist.

Besides Bob's basement....Where on this great earth can I play $2-$5 with no rake??

[@MikeM-dz8wg]

can I voice a little devils advocate to this type of video? And sir Jonathan this is not a "hater comment" it's also kind of a question: I play 2/3 (300 cap) at players casino in ventura. It's 90 percent men over 50 seven days a week. These guys are playing ANY two and I mean ANY two did I say ANY? Yes ANY. There is no way to ever know where you are at UNLESS you 8-10x preflop. How in the world can one apply your strategies/principles to those type of guys? Minimum 4 callers on 5x raises.

[@sankalpverma618]

I see the same thing online. Players limp and call the raises too often. Just play good range for yourself to exploit them i guess.

We only play when we are hard. We never play with a limp.
