3 HUGE Leaks of Small Stakes Tournament Players [MTT'S]

[@PhilosophyProf14]

After watching your content for less than two months, I am now about 27,000th in the Player of the Year rankings! ;-) Two small tourney cashes, including a Ring event at the WSOPC at The Bike in LA.

[@WolfPitOutdoors]

Just a thanks for the videos on here. I’m taking down more pots pre showdown, getting paid off a lot more when I have it, finding right value bets on the river and my chart is trending upwards since I’ve started watching these videos.

[@PokerCoaching]

Awesome!!!

I am impressive by how relatively calm you react to some of the questions :):)

At 22:17 "Is blue all-in?" I freaking lost it!!! 🤣😆🤣😆

[@pecosbill7607]

watched this video last night. Used to make a small 2nd income as a live cash player, took it serious and studied. Covid happend, didnt play for almost 1.5 years, been getting into online MTTS on bovada last week though, cashed a 2nd place for $2100 score and been back hooked ever since. Playing tournaments today i did way better across all my games using this videos advice, im for sure going to try a months worth of your site. What course should I study for $10-$50 MTTS , the tournament master course or a different one?

[@PokerCoaching]

The Tournament Masterclass will be perfect for you, good luck!

I’m in college atm, and frankly don’t have much money but love NL Hold’em and playing. I crush my friends atm just from watching these and other great players play, but once I have some money, I’m buying this class for sure

[@raybailey6631]

First off TYVM for this video it includes great advice, one of the most bittersweet things in life is being shown some of your weaknesses lol Couple of questions- 1. What buy-in would you consider "small stakes" living in florida im limited to global poker for any online play 2. How many of the courses could I get through in a 1 month trial if I were to dedicate 8-10 hours a day?? Haven't seen a list of "hours per course" when looking at your website

[@raybailey6631]

Btw newer player to the game and trying to figure out the best way to move forward to a profitable

[@PokerCoaching]

"Small stakes" essentially implies there are a lot or weak players in your game. The buy-in does not actually matter too much. As many as you have time for! Short courses on specific topics are 3-6 hours long. The really in-depth courses are much longer.

[@MyPisceanNature]

I'm reminded of one absolute calling station I played against. If he saw the flop, he called all the way to the river, every, single hand for the entire time we were at the same table. I played a hand that would have been PERFECT to bluff, but against that particular player I couldn't do it. I had seen him call down with 9-high on the river just a short time before. He won that hand with bottom pair of 2s. But, getting maximum value from anything was quite easy against him 😆.

[@aholegames4207]

i wonder if on the 9 5 5 board 2 tone board example, if its better to do the check-raise with a rainbow flop. when the in position player calls villains range is hard to predict since flush draws + monsters call. on a rainbow board the draws dont muddle the range. u said the solver said it was a good play tho haha

[@littleinkling4604]

The top pair, weak kicjer technique works great. Normally I'd C/R jam but had this spot two BB hands running v same opponent. Each time turn drew an over card but I had folds to the small turn bet. Small sample of course but it worked...

[@GlenCote]

You mentioned that we shouldn’t be thinking all-in or fold pre-flop unless we’re down to something like 9 big blinds, but the push/fold chart on the poker coaching app suggests shoving with a hand like JTs from early position with 15 big blinds. Is a min-raise better than a shove in that scenario?

[@dankcharnley]

Reading Modern Poker Theory & Excelling at Tough NLH. What changes would you make for small stakes using the knowledge from those 2 books?

[@PokerCoaching]

Exploit your opponents even more than those books suggest.

[@adean4146]

apparently, there are a lot of errors in the book so be careful.

[@rljpdx]

played about 20 tourneys today on ACR. 6 of 19 in a 1200 GTD is the best so far. ifi can take this down or 2 or 3 it might cover all my buy ins for the day lol.. have like 5 other tourneys going. this is my training and studying with jonathan little in the background and picking up points as i go.

[@rljpdx]

finaled the last 3 out of 4 tourneys and the 4th one still has a way to go... today tunred around big time

[@hadamschek]

Thank you for this video. Which leaks are most valuable in terms of expected value? Which of my counters result in least Variance for my money? Do my opponents really care much about how the board fits to my range at small stakes?

[@brealwithme]

"I'll give everyone a few minutes to....trickle in" A stellar way to begin a poker LEAKS video. 😂

How can I make poker range charts so I can print out on printer great stuff like always

[@PokerCoaching]

Just print them, or use something like paint or a pdf to print them.

[@dennisje2925]

Nice content again. Do you also see that cash games are becoming softer? I don't:( I study hard the last month and am break even after 50K hands. I am playing 10NL buyins and seeing people making a lot of mistakes but somehow I am not good enough to win a lot with 5% rake. I reviewed almost all weekly poker hands and learned a lot of it and have the feeling I am playing almost the same as you explain. I started 18 months ago with 50 Dollar and are at 500D at the moment (so there were some profit months over there).

[@PokerCoaching]

They are for sure WAY softer live. Online, they are generally tough to begin with, so while my students have told me they are winning a little bit more, it is not nearly as much as tournaments/live cash games.

[@matthewriebel5792]

Would you shove a Ts river, where you make the straight but he could have hit the flush?

[@PokerCoaching]

Depends on the opponent's likely calling range. If they will call with all sorts of one pair hands, then for sure!

[@martinczerwinski5478]

u are great player, thank u very much for teaching me :) gl

[@PokerCoaching]

Thanks, Martin!

Do you have any poker tournament crash courses? Playing in WPT next week.

[@PokerCoaching]

Yep! See the Tournament Masterclass at PokerCoaching.com/spring. Good luck!!!

[@joshbrucks]

I've played so much small stakes tournaments and I've never heard anyone say to push or fold at 20 bb or less... The common wisdom is to push fold at 10 bb or less which is close the the 9 you stated. Maybe it's more of an online play? I agree it's terrible to just jam 15 bb lol. But 8? I rarely am raising anything but all in.

[@PokerCoaching]

Just play GTO then adjust accordingly.

[@mikeylivingston3969]

What about them floating the flop with an acex which I see almost 90 percent of the time in this spot

[@glaubs65]

In the A4hearts hand (mistake 1 ex. 2) would you make the same river play (bluff all in) on a diamond river (bringing in the front door flush)?

[@PokerCoaching]

Probably, because then all the pairs still fold.

[@DavidBaker-zu5gf]

[@Senorzilchnzero]

"Is blue all in?" 😂😂😂😂

[@Insanity-vv9nn]

The best players to go against are calling stations. I had flopped a fullhouse and the other player bets 50 on flop(on a 25/50 blind lv), I call, we check the turn, the River comes a A, the best card to come because Very often their range is Ax most of the time, I went all in on the River and he called with A7 lol. They only play by their 2 cards so you can make these Dumb plays and get big value. Against any other opponent a small river bet is better for value

[@ianclark2665]

Damn Johnathan I thought that I was winning more because of teaching?

[@MrMattie725]

[@xDAKPRODUCTIONSx]

The problem with bluffing for me is I feel like the only way I can get someone to fold is if they have dirt nothing. If they have a pair of 3s they will just call me down and leave me pissed off. I put people on the correct hand theyre on and make a play to get them to fold that exact hand then it just doesnt work.

[@tol5516]

that's right the donks don't fold you just wait the right time to value bet them to death

[@SoFasT99]

I have the same issue in micro stakes. Thats why i bluff sometimes only in HU pots and never bluff in multiway cuz ppl call u down with the worst stupid stuff

[@daydaydful]

When bluffing it's how u bluff and (sometimes when) like I hate when I bluff into the nuts lol it's like oh well damn.. and it does happen occasionally but not often at all. I used to think the same way as u do that every one in micro stakes just calls with any pair. But that's just not true because when I have the nuts they always fold soo.. what I did was looked back at my hands that I've played a bunch of them and looked and all the hands I played when I had the nuts and how I played it when someone folded to my bet on the turn or river then i went back and studied all my failed bluffs which was like damn near all of them lol and i saw how i played those and i noticed i played them both completely opposite... like i was an open book so ofcourse i got called down just donk barrelling flop , turn, and river who would ever do that with the nuts lol duh no one who wants to get value and make money... so what I did was reversed how I played them which took time to master and know the right times to do it and the right position/betsizes, combo of blockers and card removal that made sense. But when i made my decision to bluff a hand all the way down and decided it was the right time I played my bluffs the way I would play that board if I had the nuts which consists of a lot of check calling, betting very small like little more then minimum , alot of down betting building an appearance of wanting to keep them in the pot and trying to get a call on the river or even Check raising the river out of position which seems risky but u have know idea how many big folds u can get doing that.. u cant just say I wanna bet to get them off 33 u gotta bet like u want and check like u want 33 to call and then blast the river.. good luck and trust me micro stakes is easier to bluff then higher stakes by far u just have to set the stage and play like ur tryna trap for a big pot..

[@xDAKPRODUCTIONSx]

@@daydaydful I play micro stakes and it feels like pointing a gun at an alien. They dont know that the gun could shoot and kill them at any moment so they are just oblivious to the gun. Because I dont really consider firing a c bet from the button to the bb on the flop and maybe the turn to get them to fold as really being a bluff which at micros a lot of people will just fold everything to that

[@daydaydful]

@@xDAKPRODUCTIONSx well I mean a cbet bluff with A high is probably a value bet but most of them dont even realize there A high is good anyways but hey some ppl stack chips 2.5 BBs at a time and some people play for stacks on the river to each is own .. usually just depends on my stack size anyways.. but yea I get what u mean
