[@Tuxster3]

Poker tips and strategy are great. Just remember that short term, variance - luck - can play a huge part as to whether you take a pot or not. If the donk doesn't fold, no matter what you throw at him, the chances of you taking that pot go down. This is because in the short term, luck will help him more than it will help you.

one quick q evan, regarding c bets, i see what u mean by the board texture but obv we should still bet with top pair weather its dry or wet on flop right?😊

[@nikitavarfolomeev6732]

Amazing video Evan. Could you give some tips on playing with the lead on the flop when opponent bets first please. You explanation is great for when the villain checks. However, i am still a bit confused what to do when they bet since i will miss the flop about 2/3 times and the opponents at my home games tend to bluff regardless of position

[@TrentonO3000]

I think I can help you out with this. This is called "donk betting" and usually means that the person has a medium amount of equity. Think about it - if they had a very big hand they would probably want to slowplay or check-raise (unless they are a very bad straightforward player that always bets out with a strong hand). If they had nothing they'd probably want to check-fold. I've often found when this happens they have one pair or, not as often, a draw. Because of this, you can often take the pot down with a big raise unless they are the type of player that will never fold top pair or a draw. In that case, you should fold and note how they play in this situation for future hands.

[@gripsed]

Yes Nikita! I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!!

[@uncannymysticmindspodcast2336]

Better in general to win the pot immediately, or go to showdown?

[@gripsed]

Depends on your equity, usually winning it immediately is best. And if you'd like more detail on that I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!!

Good voice I’m w you bro many good points for beginners, you’re a good guy. Can we talk a about rakes? As an advanced player the rakes are always cutting into my livelihood. What’s your take on the rakes?

[@gripsed]

Thanks Ethereal! I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!!

[@la.zanmal.]

Another thing about dry boards is that you can typically cbet smaller on them as a bluff, especially if you're also value betting them smaller... which makes sense because you don't have to charge draws bad odds to chase and it's easier to scare the opponent away. (Although I bet big on the monotone flops usually)

[@maxduncan7090]

I myself have listened and learned and read a bit about poker, ver casual player but play quite like this. It definitely works if you keep focused as he says on the nuts when to fold when you should know you are beat and to end pots early. I really learned the style from how I play civilization 5. Also in pokerstars you have labels (colors that actually stick to players I think forever, so you can swiftly identify players even before hitting the tables. I always WatchKit for the 3rd world sandwich or the Russian roulette, maybe I’m paranoid byt I keep track of the nationalities to make sure I stay out of teams that may have comms. Especially at the start. No offense it just helps to know eachothers language when someone’s hustling you .On party poker this was really hard to avoid. also use the notes feature, describe what you think at first analyse the bigger holders are they playing high game or low players. Attempt a cheeky blind steal in 0.02/0.01$ you can wipe away any bad cards before the flop. And it’s cheap. What helped me the most in the end is knowing your position more thsn anything and choosing you seat when you can. Happy coronapoker to you all!

great stuff...but isnt leading out into a raiser a donk bet? what are advantages of donk betting?

[@BloodofEli]

Personally I would only donk bet into a raiser if there is a dry board, low unsuited non-connecting cards if you put your opponent on AK, AQ or if you have the nuts. Other than that I would check to the raiser imo

[@shobhitbhargava836]

the only time i would love to donk bet is with a small quarter pot donk into a crazy aggressive player who will take it to heart that i donked ;)

[@BAlvn-yr6ej]

i find that the problem with cbetting dry boards is that you will get raised or check-raised quite a bit by aggressive players putting you in a really tough situation no matter what you have. seems to me that c-betting is all about balance because it can become pretty obvious...gotta mix it up. i usually c-bet a lot no matter what (except against 3 or more opponents), just vary the sizing by betting bigger on wetter boards to get rid a lot of the weaker draws and small pair type of hands that have a way of making life miserable. on a dry board you are usually either way ahead or way behind so i dont think risking a lot on dry boards makes sense.

[@gripsed]

Great adjustments B Alvn, and as people have learned more about board texture it makes sense to use a more complex strategy.

[@MOUTcertified]

But in low limit games, if you open with a mid range poker pair and an Ace falls, it's tough to C-bet because low limit players play so passive and would just flat call pre flop with AK, AQ and AJ, they don't re raise pre flop so its tough to put low limit players on hands.

[@thedude5599]

Why should they raise and give away their hand strenght. I rarely raise pre flop im a serial limper and I crush live poker. No one has a clue what my hand is. Sure I reraise with AA KK AKs AQs QQ 10 10 JJ and sometimes 67s 89s 45s but I also call lots of raises with those hands as well. No one can ever put me on a hand cause ill play 44 like aces sometimes. My range for calling is so large and my range for raising is also large. When I play live I crush all the time.

[@Josh-wm4sl]

Probably nobody will reply as its an old video, but what if we donk lead a wet board in which we have a draw or top pair, and the preflop raiser raises us? Do we call draws if we are getting the right price? But what should we be folding here? Top pair? Low draws?

[@James-xj1cf]

I would call the reraise w my draw if the price was right. With a massive draw like gutshot flush draw or open ended flush draw im gonna repop them all in. If u have flush draw with 2 over cards to your opponets range be careful cuz they might have 2 pair or a set. Flush draw with a pair it's going in. call with tptk. Fold a weak draw like a gutshot. keep in mind when being raised they are often on a draw or they flopped 2 pair.

[@gnorty]

OK, so at ~3 mins I have a problem. Say you bet full pot. Pot stands at 1k, you bet 1k. Either the opponent bets, or he folds. If he folds, you win 100% of course. If he calls, then the pot stands at 3k. You need to win 1 in 3 overall for this to work, not 1 in 2 as the video suggests. Am I missing something?

[@khaohtic]

youre betting 1k to try win the 1k in the pot by the opponent folding, therefor you need to win 1 in 2 overall to break even. However, this doesnt take into consideration if your opponent calls so you need a good enough hand that will be playable on the turn. Big bets of this size is often to scare your opponents off the hand and to fold, as your opponent will need to win 1 in 3 to be able to call as he will be calling 1k into a 2k pot, so more than likely your opponent would fold if they dont have a good hand or a draw here as floating wouldnt have the right odds for them to win the hand. Hope this made sense haha.

[@fundiver198]

Also note that a bet being outright profitable because of fold equity only means, that it is better than folding your hand yourself and giving up. But often these are not the two only alternatives presented to us on the flop, since there are still two more cards to come. We could also check and perhaps win more money by betting and having our opponent fold later, or by having the best hand at showdown.

I don't fully understand "Playing with the lead" what is the lead? does that mean youre out of position and going first?

[@patonhill]

A player playing with the lead means that player was the last to bet or re-raise. Its refers to the aggressor in the hand

[@bramstrijker4777]

"the lead" is referring to position on your opponent in this video, or?? Great video btw

[@gripsed]

Thank you so much Bram! The lead refers to who made the last aggressive action on the previous street (so in this case, preflop)

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

Surely two suited cards on flop means this is a wet board? Why only straights potential?

[@fundiver198]

I think, it is because, straight potential can hit your opponents range much more hard than flush potential. But its really all about figuring out, how well your opponent connected with the flop. So you need to put him on a range and use a program like Flopzilla to really go into depth with this. You cant just use a simpel "wet" or "dry" logic. That is only a starting point. You may want to visit the channel or webpage called The Poker Bank. They have a lot of videos, which explain how to analyze ranges, and how they connect to a board.

[@gripsed]

[@sourcebeing3620]

When you say playing with the lead are you taking about pfr or position? Because it doesnt make much sense. Could you clarify? Your talking about check raises when you dont have the lead but how can you do that when you act last?

[@gripsed]

the lead is the pre flop raise in this case. sorry for the confusion.

[@mikefetters6674]

I’m confused with the first part, wouldn’t it be switched around with the cards you’d want to bet on? Because if you already raised and they liked their cards enough to see the flop, couldn’t you assume they have some higher cards?

[@gripsed]

There are a lot of intricacies to the different board textures. This was a broad strokes approach to it. If you'd like some much more specific teachings I've started making videos for pokercoaching premium, check out pokercoaching.org if you'd like to get a 3 day free pass!!!

Duc I like to call and take one card to see the turn if not to pricey ...that might slow villian down ....Then if he checks the turn I lead out to test him ,depending what card comes of course, keeping in mind that he was the raiser and had a good chance of hitting that flop.But many times he will fold to the 4th street lead out having raised with a midsize pocket pr or suited connectors. Either way That turn bet gets you a ton of info and maybe even a free card on the river If he thinks he might be beat , GL

Hi there why does everyone " gurus" assume when you raise preflop you only get called by 1 or 2 , i played in a tournament , where no matter how much i raised preflop i was called by 6 minimum my preflop raises started at 5 bb but with my KK hand i raised 10 bb, 7 callers then on a dry but A high flop i was donked into for half pot ,

[@gripsed]

with that many callers i prefer checking with almost anything but the nizzles postflop

Should I ever bet a draw?

[@gripsed]

yes, draws are definitely part of a balanced betting range. The time you don't want to bet draws is when your opponent is very likely to check raise you.

[@DarkSkay]

Nice guide. I play small stakes MTTs on Poker Stars, usually 2-4 of them at the same time. Starting with 1500 chips and blinds at 20/10, usually the stack quickly falls below 40BB. My problem: I have very little information on opponents for several reasons (few hands played, frequent table change etc.) and I don't use forbidden stat trackers. How to play when you have no or insufficient information on your opponents?

[@myles5158]

DarkSkay the trackers arent forbidden they are very useful.. ibformation is power in poker

Do all players have to put the same amount of money into the pot before the flop comes out?

[@bsdecoder]

+Vanquish Yes they do. All players must call the big blind or the raise made by another player.
