I just want to help as many players as possible brother, been at it for going on 10 years now, and it seems to go a long way :)

[@FinnBearOfficial]

Hush DJ! Hush. Jeesh. 🤣

[@FinnBearOfficial]

Man, just won what will hopefully be first of many sit and go's. Almost doubled my small, very small roll.

[@FinnBearOfficial]

a little update, won a 1,30 satellite to the 22 schmacker saturday scuffle PKO. Cruised over the bubble, man! Love it!

[@FinnBearOfficial]

got to play over three hours, never feared this little before. Took out plenty of bad guys.

[@2cardarsenal310]

All poker players trying to get better and understand the game in greater detail need to listen to this coaching session. Excellent and Thanks!

[@FrasierFanMSU]

Just a tip to make the math for how often a bluff needs to work easier: Take the fraction of the pot you bet. Add the numerator to the denominator while leaving the numerator the same, and that's how often the bluff needs to work. For example, if you bet 2/3 pot, it needs to work 2/(2+3)=2/5 of the time; if you bet 1/4 pot, it needs to work 1/(1+4)=1/5 of the time.

[@gripsed]

Great Tip!

[@sammyajose1267]

What about the reverse for value betting?

[@andrewadami3920]

@@sammyajose1267 then it's probably, literally, the reverse. If you bet 2/3 pot. Your bluff need to work 2/5 of the time. And if it was a value bet, you need a call 3/5 of the time.

When I try to play aggressive I get called by the dumbest shit and they seem to always hit

[@JStack]

The smaller the stakes the more variant the player. Unless you have the Golden Ratio he speaks of down perfect the % of loss from people calling bluffs with "misplayed," hands like checking pocket aces to turn will take from your stack in greater sizes than people trying to play GTO poker. You'll have to greater weight value bets and higher equity bluffs if it occurs often. My last two weeks in micro stakes have become much more consistent as a result, this lecture is more beneficial against more advanced players imo which I rarely see in .05/.10

[@christianhuntercascon888]

Complete Wash 86 ..i hear you there brother. Keep developing your own style and strategy of play that best fits you and you will adapt to more situations where being aggressive will be more profitable for you. Be selective .

comment from Jonathan Little just 7 hours ago to my response for bigger preflop raises than he suggests as playing in loose game to thin field: "The hands you make fold are usually quite bad. You should be thrilled to play a 6-way pot with 23% equity. "

[@LuisGuzman-xk4gy]

How do you play against people that call hands like j 2? Or q 3. I try not to call anything that's not a combination, pocket pair or two high cards

[@joshbrucks]

If they call that wide value bet the flop very wide.

[@Dplaysitcool]

i love this, but im still struggling to think some of this working a small/micro stakes. im probably wrong though... thanks for the content.

[@raphael2407]

you definatly need to adjust your ranges for microstakes and be aware there is a lot of wide 3betting going on in nowadays microstakes. Most of the time they have bad timing and postflop they are mostly terrible. That's where your money is. Also don't be afraid to get it in with medium pairs, AK/AQ exists and for most microstakes players it's an auto-allin preflop. Defend a little bit wider, don't be afraid of taking flops against 3bets, and exploit their mostly terrible postflop play. Solid tight agressive game is still the way to beat the micros.

[@CheddarmanGeo]

@@raphael2407 I think this is pretty bad advice. You shouldn't automatically group all players that play at one stake as one type of player. Each player should be analysed individually.

Thank you Evan for being a hero of Poker coaching and loving the game and sharing your experiences. Greatly appreciated.

[@BibinVenugopal]

54:33 This calculation is wrong. In $2 pot if you have 25% equity, you own 50 cents(i.e. 25% total pot $2) and your opponent owns $1.5 Now you put another $1 and opponent calls, you own $1(i.e. 25% of total $4 pot) Means you get additional 50 cent on $1 bet. You don't get break even there. After your above $1 bet, your opponent now owns $3 of $4 pot. Means your opponent got $1.5 extra by calling your bet with just $1. Which means you are losing...

[@qwegergtdf]

this is so good!

[@DoctorChained]

I'm not sure if I agree with the quote that cards are only a tie breaker, especially at lower levels like 1/2 and 2/5. If you're card dead, you will lose. People will call you with top pair until showdown. You NEED good cards to make money.

[@ttidforever7416]

At what point in multiple rebuy tournaments does the aggression part specifically lessen because we have people who are throwing chips around because they have more equity? Great content Evan!

I am confused on how you can have a win big lose small or win small lose big situation. If you bet big, you will win big or lose big. If you bet small, you will win small and lose small. Could someone elaborate please. Amazing video by the way. Evan and Jonathan both make great content

[@PokerCoaching]

With hands like small pairs, you either lose the preflop bet or win a lot when you make a set.

[@nikitavarfolomeev6732]

@@PokerCoaching oh and then with like a high connector or high pair you will bet big preflop and win small if you hit a set or a flush because other person will probably fold

[@rossl5908]

I’m struggling with the 180 man mtts on pokerstars, I can crush it within the first 20 minutes but then my hands start to freeze up as the tournament goes on and my chips begin to dwindle. The law of diminishing returns definitely applies to me in this case.

[@imloove2]

This only applies under the premise that your opponent is playing rationally

[@PokerCoaching]

Fortunately, if they play irrationally, the game becomes REALLY easy.

[@lfgamble3924]

I understand what hes saying. I do. But u cant bluff a donk. And u will also run into hands.. theres basically a happy medium IMO. just like everything in life. When u miss a flop lets say. And u bet, and get called. And the turn doesnt help your specific hand this time. And u bet again, trying to get a fold. And u get called again... u just blindly jam ne river..? No, theres times to bluff based on ur opponents actions/ the strength of ur hand/ and the range you represent based on ur actions.

[@fr4nticnhotsauce874]

I have huge problem knowing when a opponent is raising me but I have a solid hand, but they have a better hand 😑

[@niemand262]

I have to disagree with your "why you want them to fold" slides. When I have 95% equity I do not want a fold. I would rather have 95% equity in the large pot (after they call) than have 100% equity in the small pot (when they fold). I love your work, but you are teaching the concept incompletely, and encouraging people to try to induce a fold when this would be an EV disaster.

[@Hotobu]

My problem is knowing when someone is smart enough to fold.

[@2cardarsenal310]

You can only bluff a decent or solid players, knowing your opponents is imperative before making bluff moves,

[@RoulDukeGonzo]

I once tried to bluff a guy in a tournament who nearly folded. His buddy had just come up to him and asked him to come play roulette. He wanted to leave the game. I'm such an idiot for trying in that spot!

This is a good video but from I've heard from most professional players, most of their money just comes from value betting

I liked the video but it does contain some math errors. It needs a little editing.

[@tomellsworth2726]

It is almost impossible to bluff a novice player they don't know enough to fold. They could be sitting on pocket 66 and every card on the board has them beat with possible straight or flush and just because they have a pair in their hand they will call all in for their entire stack. they just don't know any better.

[@tobi2841]

Yea, but you basically don’t bluff with completely nothing, especially there is no value to be gained by bluffing a funplayer or total beginner, as they will call you anyway not realizing 2 bb is, even if kinda deep with 50 bb, 4% of their whole stack. Doesn’t sound much, but could end a tournament live considering it could happen quite frequently -> if late reg is closed those ppl will get sorted very soon. Good advice is to really only value 3 bet those kind of people (I don’t even 3 bet my value hands like AK, they will call me anyway with A7 and hit the seven most likely and if they don’t call you loose a lot money because of there weak and many times overbluffed postflop game....), use sharkscope to look them up and adapt. At microstakes not adapting to their play style is just silly.

Question: - What level of player is this being pitched at? - And how does that level relate to most of the lower stakes players we will come across in the casinos? I ask because although I can follow a lot of this theory, and its very interesting, I am not clear on how far i need to take this to be confident I have an edge. Currently I have the time to study but not to practice (live) due to location.

[@andrewadami3920]

I think this can very much be applied to $1/$2. This is effectively how good players exploit passive/loose players at the weaker tables. Stronger opponents require you to understand ranges and call frequencies. Defending your blinds/position. Adjusting your play style based on your image at the table and what information you have revealed at showdown, etc.

[@phillipholmes5206]

But everybody plays like this now so poker is just a game of BINGO! Well done boys, poker is ruined with most people never understanding the real beauty of the game. You can play like this against me all day and eventually you will wonder where your stack went.

In other words, so long as you can find bad players there is great profitability to be made. Just capitalizing on others mistakes. I would like to express my anger at casinos and online poker for stealing the games from the players by these disgustingly high rakes. Does anyone know what I’m talking about??

OK so like a regular kinda hoodie guy at Ft. McDowell Yavapai Casino is an amazing 8 hours at the low limit table. I was seat 6 and he was 8. Now I've been able to successfully try one of everything in 32 years of worshiping at club 52. But this guy beat all as he absolutely had the power to check for 8 hours and in 8 hours he stacked up enough chips to tip the table over. I would just play very few hands with him and only when I had the absolute read . This kind of thing is tricky. Body language of a yogi...Jesus help us .....and absolute control never raising flopping the nuts and watching all the new players dump their wad . I would have asked him to marry me if he had been a woman...he was like really making me laugh. The air conditioning when they opened up these Phoenix area casinos was just above popsicle and the steam was pouring actually rising off those old bean counters heads. Now I've tried a lot of crazy stuff. But I can't help but raise the nuts or dang near once In awhile. Better than me. Seeds of insanity were planted by this guy after we got up off the floor and try and stop laughing and get back to the game. Hey you try and check into a wheelbarrow full of chips
