Saulo I know your channel is just getting started, but it is INCREDIBLE. Your videos, thought process, explanations, and playing style are amazing. Keep up the great work my friend!

[@saulocostapoker]

Thanks mate! Really appreciate the compliments

[@Hedonism96]

Imagine he’s not winning on a single site he plays on, and you’re glazing a losing player 😂

[@adambullied]

Thanks!

[@saulocostapoker]

Amazing Adam! Thank you for your support, really means a lot 🥰

[@troubleismyname]

Your "play and explain" videos are very informative. I have noticed that you are putting so much attention on timing tells and fish exploits. Would be awesome to make a video around that topic.

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

Hear, hear! (please)

[@bruwar]

Hmmm I would have called the 88 at @39:51. Seems like it would be an indifferent hand to call with in theory and in practice I can see many offsuit combos of QJo AJo and potentially AQ that would bluff, and not much value really once he only bets 1/3 OTT. On top of that, bluffcatching would be even better if he is trying to exploit a pool that checks back too weak OTF.

[@DriveandThrive]

One problem with having a good red line you lose equity in the pots where you’re not playing for a ton of stacks with your best holding after 3 bets etc. Sometimes have a bad red line earns you more profit

[@kserks5135]

Can you explain what you mean?

[@bkb04g]

Obviously there is always somewhat of a tradeoff. Having a better redline means getting into more pots with lower equity holdings, but battling more and potentially winning more without showdown, due to position, isolating and other important factors. But when the redline isn’t important, you play nittier, don’t get in as many spots to win ‘free’ pots but when you do play a hand, the pre flop hand equity goes up quite a bit. You win more at showdown but less when hands don’t go to showdown. You can potentially thread the needle between the two and that’s what makes some of the biggest crushers in the game.

[@gabrielboily2641]

Thank you Saulo you're the best. I found myself very confused with 1/3 pot size cbets since they wouldn't generate many folds in my opinion vs regs and fish and I would find myself having to triple barrel vs regs to get them to fold but by putting in big bets versus their capped ranges on the flop and turn they seem to respond very poorly by either calling too much or folding too much. I find the big bet strategy much simpler to understand. I also didn't know about this timing tell vs 3bets i noticed it right away in my previous session vs a reg. He 3bet quick most times and then those 2 occasions he tanked 3bet so I 4bet with Q9o and KTo and he folded twice.

[@ML-sj3gi]

14:44 I feel that the pot sized flop bet is often a missed flop with AK or AQ. These pot sized bets are maybe better on low dry flops because it makes it hard to continue unless you have flopped a set, which only happens 12%. 3-bet pre, then when missing the flop, they bet pot C-bet. If they get 50% folds then it is very profitable, and few people float vs pot sized bets. As you said, you can overfold to these bets, so I think they are profitable. What do you think? Is it this or is it big over pairs and sets that are hoping to get it in?

[@eveamu1]

Very player dependent in my experience

[@HomeStudioBasics]

Lol 20:40 i feel like you're kinda nervous. Lookin' down like "Shit, I may get jammed on here." Looking down, then scratching your head and having this look in your eyes. Maybe I'm completely wrong. But I know i'd feel like that playing the limits you're at. QQ sometimes just sucks. I was in a similar situation but jammed pre (probably shouldn't have) and of course, I get shown AA. For your hand, as soon as he jammed I said Kings out loud, and it sucks because folding is so gross on that board. It's almost like, for me, I kind of just know and those are the times I wish I had folded. Really like this channel a lot so far! You've given this old 25/50NL player back in the day some cool tips as i start back at 2 and 5NL. Poker is a simple but at the same time very complex game. I didn't necessarily know the extent of it back in 2009-2011.

[@franciscoriosvallejo5584]

Hi Saulo, what is the name of the purple RNG? I would like to use it as well

[@bertjames9661]

At 39:41 you say 88 is a straight forward fold vs the river OB when our opponent uses the X-1/3 turn-OB river line on KT72K run out. A solver has it at 0 EV. Do you think the paired rivers are under bluffed?

[@EvrySingleTime]

Appreciate these vids.... I've played mtts full time for the last 3 years, feeling very beat down from the tourny grind. Studying to switch to cash, your vids have been awesome. Ty Sir

[@saulocostapoker]

Cash > MTTs 😃

[@Rvh237]

Hi Saulo, Like the content. Can you tell me where the content is hidden of the 28:41 minute? You are talking about some kind of spot and I really want to know where I can find it in your videos. Ty, glgl!

[@replay-Cfp]

I love your content. I have a question about this spot 8:50 I understood you are targeting their air region by betting small. But is it possible to target their Ax in pot turn and big size river ? I feel like with a small bet turn, we just can't never bluf river.

[@kakofigueiredo]

another great video, it's cool to see how you pay attention to the timing tell, I don't know if you remember or even used a software called "Timemojo", it appeared there around 2016/2017 where it was used precisely to mark how long the opponent took to react, and usually the longer it takes, the more bluffs it contains in the range, mainly preflop which was the most reliable street they had done this data analysis, too bad (or not) that the software was later banned by all rooms, very nice hand the shove from 44, GL!

[@personalpokertrainer]

Do you have data on timings or are your timing tell conclusions just using logic + experience?

[@TheGambitBandit]

Can you please explain why you 3bet to 5x when out of position? I thought the conventional theory was to go to 4x when out of position, but I have been seeing a lot of players going to 5x recently - would love to hear an elaboration on that.

[@saulocostapoker]

Hey mate! It's just what solver prefers. People used 4x in the past because no one had run simulations with 5x lol Check gtowizard, preflop ranges are free and they use the optimal sizings

[@TheGambitBandit]

@@saulocostapoker interesting, thank you. My 'poker Bible' is modern poker theory by Michael Acevedo, and he recommends using 4x when out of position. However, especially in the last year or so, I have seen many players online going to 5x.

Hi Saulo, do you think that zoom 100 pokerstars is still beatable?

[@infosrelevantes7146]

Nl40K is beatable. Every stakes is and always will be crushable. The room for improvment in poker is infinite. Linus and others knows not yet about poker.

[@saulocostapoker]

Probably, yes. Pokerstars has become very reg infested due to recs migrating to GG poker and regs looking for rakeback challenge. But post rakeback it's certainly beatable

[@markux1983]

PS is a reg nightmare. It is just insane, specially due to their nice rakeback policy per Saulo.

[@abstract1603]

Time wasting dude..

[@jammflint84]

I fixed my redline when I started putting all my energy into defending vs cbets and xr especially bvb, if you’re not careful you can’t overfold an insane amount

[@mikegoodwin5951]

Hey Saulo at around 8minutes in you stab turn small with 76dd on AT4T into 2 players and say you would bluff the river because they are capped. Im curious because I would never bluff the river in that spot because I think they are capped but are Ax heavy and wont fold. So why do you think its a good river bluff situation? Thanks mate

[@highlyblessed87]

Love your vids bro. How many tables do you play when you grind and how long for?

[@saulocostapoker]

Thanks bro. I think 3-4 tables of zoom/zone/rush and cash format is good number. For regular tables, something between 6-8 is good. As far session length, I personally prefer many short sessions rather than few long sessions. It's easy for performance to deteriorate heavily over long sessions

[@highlyblessed87]

@saulocostapoker Nice one, brother. Hopefully can start crushing watching your vids. I used to grind online like 10 years ago, so haven't played online for a while. I'm learning a lot from you atm as the game has changed quite a bit since then. I'm going to start grinding again and was just wondering what limit you would suggest starting at and what site and format (fast tables or regular tables).

[@saulocostapoker]

Hey ffallenaangel! It's normal to have losing sessions in poker, it's part of variance. No matter how good you are, if you play 500 hands in a session, you will end up losing in about 50% of your sessions. But if you are a strong player, what you win from winning sessions far compensates what you lose in losing sessions. Hope that clarifies, cheers my friend!

This is really what you got from the video?😅

[@markux1983]

Don’t blindly trust those who only upload winning sessions either. Personally, if I considered paying someone to teach me poker, I would first ask for evidence that the guy is a winning player over a super large sample (1 million+ played hands), and Saulo seems to be one of these despite the losing sessions he has uploaded so far. Variance is a bitch unfortunately. 😊😊😊

[@bludmop7281]

Zlatan? Is that you ? What is with the cameras angle changing all the time, its sure not flashy and we don not need to see the back of your head, also your maths is very bad in game, your equity in the AJ hand on the turn is like 15% at best, you have 4 Queens and maybe 3 Jacks if you are behind, thats like 15% equity but you needed 25% to call the bet, you must have lost like 3 buyins this video
