Playing Against a Table Full of Weak, Passive Players

[@Mike-kp8ej]

I played great yesterday thanks to listening to your books on tournament. I got an opponent all in with for 41,000 pre flop with pockets queens against his pocket tens. He flopped a ten. I only had 25,000 left after that beat at 1,000-2,000-2,0000 big blind ante. I busted out awhile later, but your books are great to learn from.

Such great insight!! I've always studied and been told that alot of mistakes we make come from poor preflop decisions. This video was the first time that I was able to see it in real time as your range carries over on each street. It was seriously a lightbulb that just lit up!! After this, I feel a whole lot better about removing AJo and KJo from my EP ranges.

Recently, I've noticed that many of Jonathan's uploads focus visually on things Ed Miller refers to repeatedly in his books: The Course, Reading Hands at NL Poker's 1% and Playing The Player. I am finding these videos very very helpful. Repeatedly doing such analysis will vastly strengthen your game. Ty for the content.

i loved this videos content specifically. opponent has the right idea, but these hands could be saved for the button in a cash game, and deep stacked in a tournament if im correct?

Your second student answered almost exactly as you did, with a slight bad turn call with small pairs, but how can you proof that you have the correct answer? If one so chose, could they run EV equations on each scenario, or can we look at the range vs. range equity on a calculator like PokerCruncher? Great video!

Consult Piosolver or Monkersolver.

I dont think playing gto works at smaller stakes cash or tournies though

[@marksimpson2321]

@@trevorstrutt1 You wouldn't lose playing a gto range though you can do far better by exploiting the mistakes that are typically made by low and mistakes players.

If everyone is weak and passive, you don't need to change your strategy since you'll probably win using generic "i do0n't know what table I'm sitting at" tactics.

What’s the difference between weak passive and tight aggressive etc

[@PokerCoaching]

Passive goes a lot of checking and calling. Aggressive does a lot of betting when they do happen to play.

playing fake poker at pokerstars when i watch these :) lol

[@marksimpson2321]

Why fake?

[@goranhrkman3789]

Your charts are all good when you are playing heads up. But what if, let´s say, 4 players are in the hand to the flop? Two are weak. passive and the other two are (somewhat) tight, aggressive? Very seldom will you find a table with only weak, passive players.
