Making the Right Pre-Flop Adjustments | Expert Exploits

[@susymay7831]

Fabulous summary of preflop adjustments.

I love these short strategy VLOGs Phil, even as a long term winner at mid-stakes I find myself learning new things.

[@davidecaramia8567]

I already knew all of this, but hearing it from you makes me more confident about my game. Thanks

[@jack42011]

appreciate all the tips... I really need to start writing stuff down, what to look for in which situations, when to bet larger, smaller... so much I have learned, yet nothing compared to what there is to learn. This game lights up my brain!

I realized how little I know.

Phil I wonder if you could one day talk about this situation: you're at a table where limping is SUPER common. I've been in games where, say 70% of the time, every player who enters the hand limps. Say if you know that 70% of the time you limp or call a limp, everyone behind you only calls or folds - what is the best adjustment? I adjust by limping in with a lot of middle to weak hands I'd usually fold, those with some sort of implied odds, like almost suited anything, then playing mostly fit or fold post flop, and continuing to raise my "normal" range pre. I wonder if that is good strategy though

Great informative video. The last tip of picking your spots correctly , especially multi-way (more prominent in live poker), really hits home. I’ve realized how bad I’ve played a lot of spots preflop where I thought I have an edge but in reality it’s the opposite.

[@AlmancaBenimNeyime]

It was a very useful lesson for poker beginners. I hope, those who don't know how to play poker will quickly discover your channel to benefit from this video. 🎖

At 5:50 mark Phil tryna get into that Alan Keating game!

Phil you're the best

One thing I always try to focus on is the two people on my direct left, either tournament or cash game. Do they play tight, medium, or loose ranges? When I'm on the button, they are in the blinds.

[@christopherdowning7776]

“When they’re bad enough I’ll play any hand”, I laughed because that’s exactly my thought process.

[@jack42011]

I’ve raised 92 off on the button to people who don’t defend enough. If they call you can be careful, but mostly you are printing 3.5 blinds

[@shantkhoshafian8698]

Thanks for the content man.

[@junglerjungle2605]

So good

[@joeshab123]

What i got from this video: when I play Phil Galfond I can raise his BB every time and he will always call me :p

[@holdemfan396]

Will B watching this 1 more than 2 times... More on preflop from the blinds ... stack sizes.

[@pandoracoaching8787]

Hey Phil Thanks for the cool content as usual. Imagine BB is overdefending but under 3 betting Is under3betting is most relevent than the fact that V is defending too much hands? Would you open wider cause he is under3betting or Tighter cause he is defending too much?

[@thiagom4321]

Hey Phil! Can you talk about the ev change of certain hands vs tight pfr in plo? As the game is more merged i find difficult to adjust in the bb vs like a tight utg opener.

[@javierolivares8800]

Does this only apply if you have > than say 50BB? Seems like strategy changes when you’re in a tournament. I’d expect most cash game players start with at least 100BB live and reload before hitting 50BB.

[@davidecaramia8567]

A thing I can't figure out is: how important are preflop adjustments in terms of EV and winrate? Of course depends on the player pool, assume it's low stakes.

[@CancelIFR]

It adds a lot of EV because if people over fold, you win money you shouldn't and if they don't 3bet enough, you get to realize 3 cards of equity too often and win more money.

[@Xequi]

Good stuff as usual. You should adjust your lights to me it feels your face is overexposed

[@MrArsk4]

Multiway 3bet pots when villains call too many hands vs 3bet

[@bcni4732]

3bet linearly

[@MrArsk4]

@@bcni4732 there is postflop play too

[@Nuksukow]

It’s amazing how someone can speak so much yet say so little

[@dacgours55]

When should I move up so they respect my raises?!?!

[@FriendsForFriends666]

nobody will tell the truth.. you just have to change your name to phil to win at poker
