I node lock Jungle in every aspect of his game...so basic

OMFG bruh.. i didnt knew Jungle had a YT channel... Dude we love yah bruh.. subscribed!!!!

@@kibspoker C'mon man, don't make fun of Jungle...don't patronize him, what are you doing man

[@PokerCoaching]

Enjoyed the conversation, thanks for having me on Jungle!

[@kibspoker]

Hey man... Personally think you've done more for us poker beginners, than any other Poker pro combined. Thanks for all yer efforts man. Always watchin yer vids, take care!!!

[@Jake-ne5oo]

I've heard a lot of good things about this guy so I'm going to invest in his site and app. Only watching KZbin hasn't made me any better 😢

[@leonboot9312]

I love your site the most and i enjoy your poker coaching more than any other poker coaching. Keep up the good work!

[@allonscanadiens]

He asked for metrics at the beginning, which I totally understand is incredibly difficult to accrue, I can tell you anecdotally that you’ve improved my win rate. I was playing about 400 hrs a year live for about 5 years with a win rate of 2 to 3 bb/hr on average, but last year I really started to study and implement your teachings ie through your books and videos. My win rate for the past 600 hrs is roughly 8bb/ hr. Thank You

[@williamwilliams8997]

@@allonscanadiens Awesome!

[@indjke]

Part about resilience and learning how to handle risk is brilliant. Enjoyed so much.

[@riotxo]

Jonathan Little is the sole reason my winrate is 12bb/100 and I only use his resources. He’s the GOAT teacher

[@johnnyx7y]

no one has 12bb WR unless you play in insanely soft live or private games. You probably played 5k hands and dont realise it's meaningless results. A literal goat could beat him at poker he's so bad

[@riotxo]

@@johnnyx7y i do play in insanely soft online games. my winrate is 12bb/100 over 110k hands online. Find a game you can beat, play it a lot, and keep a proper bankroll. I can send you all the stats if you’re that nosey 🤡

[@riotxo]

@@johnnyx7y and yes a literal goat like Ivey could prolly beat Jonathan. But Ivey is never gonna be able to teach you how to beat even Jonathan. Education is a unique skill in itself. This much should be obvious lmao

I want to thank Jonathan little and jungle man.For a great conversation.Please keep up the good work.The poker community benefits tremendously from your efforts

[@terrymiller111]

The Sheldon Cooper of poker instruction. Love ya!

[@BigD751]

I like when they talked about entertaining at the table. It's something I am known for. I make sure everyone is having a good time and I make a lot of jokes. It actually gets them to not play back at me as much. I call it "working the table"

[@tommyfu9271]

Handling losing well, being resilient and not tilting is so important. This is even more true Live where the pace of play is so slow and bad runs can last a long time.

[@christopherhorn4744]

I recommend Jonathon’s tournament books. I’ve read them all multiple times and they have given me massive value. Now when I’m getting ready for NL tournaments I make sure I listen to the condensed version.

[@BigD751]

I really like Jonathan. He has matured over the past few years especially in regards to his personality. He is much more easy going now and it is very amiable. Great ambassador for the game.

[@jaeshbalachandran5766]

Jonathan is a great guy and coach. Thanks for having him on. Hes a true poker legend and has changed the lives and poker careers of thousands of people.

[@MichaelShinosky]

Jungle man putting out the bangers. Good job homie.

[@MoeHoY]

Fair enough!

[@mrjoshharvey7017]

I love littles site and i like him overall. He has certainly helped bring me out of the noob dark age

[@BigD751]

I used to not like Jonathan when I first came across his videos but now he's one of my favorite people. He's helped me win a lot.

[@slowery43]

why on earth would you think anyone cares who you do or do not like as though you're some sort of respected or entertaining expert... good lord get over yourself we truly couldn't care any less

[@francescosanna9705]

similar to strong chess players that can visualize boards and coordinates, poker players can visualize situations like probe turn and similar, positions, charts and talk about it without the need to have an hand replayer; poker players don't realize that amateurs can't

[@johndavidallison7601]

Lmao slowing down Johnathan Little in the intro is beautiful😂

[@andreathomas4579]

I just saw this in my feed!!! Two of my very favorite poker players in one show. Jungle, I saw you at the WSOP in 2020 in your Captain Sparrow costume, and really wanted a picture, but I was a bit fangirl overwhelmed by all the big-name players around me. I enjoy your "stage presence, " personality, and expertise. I've been working for Jonathan for four years (I sought him out, by having Justin Saliba coach me for a year, and I thought I could help as an intern) and it's been fabulous. I love all things poker.

[@garygillespie291]

i learned on a book by bill burton it was easy to read and understand- it had an arrow chart- i had it memorized fair good> tens jak, nines and tens- i recall that most people did not play some hierarchy of hands- i recall that i had enough trouble memorizing one arrow chart and implementing- so then i see gto has huge amounts of different kinds of arrow charts and i think i have enough work- thats me bill burton arrow chart- i have "getting the edge on low limit texas hold em" next to me now- also sklansky- i havent read so much of "theory of poker" by sk but some like i recall how he talks about how to bet- i have another by sk "no limit hold em- theory and practice" sitting next that i only read the intro so far- ok? me? bills arrow chart?- what i want to do is start studying burton again- like read a lot of it- i aint doing low limit- and then merge that into studies w jon- come on jon i have lots of kids like phil etc- my name is gari im a compulsive gambler i like to get in deep it gets interesting

[@marcfreislinger5896]

This is going to sound like an ad but I lost so much money before pokercoaching. Now I make money esp in splashy games.

[@andersnielsen6044]

The biggest leak is that players cannot adjust or adapt to the current opponent(s).. That goes both online and live. ;)

[@bbbbBEOTCH]

ive always told my friend this and live by it myself....it takes 10k hands to convince some1 ur good and only 1 to convince them ur bad...use that

[@mrjoshharvey7017]

I wish jonathan would get a cash game and do a poker out loud with some of his coaches

[@HenryGuessed-g3e]

My dream way to learn would be like this ^^^. Seven players including a instructor. Players that fold hold their cards out of the way. when the hand is over you go by position and ask why the player did what they did. Small discussion pertaining to lessons, move to next hand. Real money, cash game.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

Here's the biggest mistake & I'm surprised the cogent Mr. Little hasn't made an entire video of it: poker is 1% education & 99% execution. You really DON'T need to know that much to make money, but you have to apply what you know against sophisticated players who are trying to stop you. If you think playing as GTO as possible will make you a winner? Congratulations, you've mastered about half of that 1%. Good luck.

[@Joe_C.]

"Sophisticated players" are easy to spot in low limit games... They're the ones wearing tuxedos

[@rayoconnor4413]

Was looking through the comments to see if anyone else would pick up on this. Love the way that their bluntness, which might weird out neurotypical people, essentially compliments each other in this interview.

[@SandraBang]

​@@rayoconnor4413 it's so refreshing talking to people of your neurological tribe, so to speak. Just clear concrete verbal communication without worrying "how you're gonna come across" (or some sort of "good vibes" for neurotypical people with their non verbal communication, I guess). But yeah, double empathy in action. Good to see.

[@AcesH1gh]

Good discussion. Playing the autisms card😅

[@whywhywhy9659]

He also has that slightly passive aggressive quality of a cokehead

[@ninteniimelonjuice]

I node lock Jungle in every aspect of his game...so basic

[@FuzzypupPoker]

I say this all the time. Players think very statically and not dynamically understanding combination of hands and how they impact your action.

[@slowery43]

nobody cares what you "say all the time" or now.. .you're not a respected expert on anything who cares what you say adn why should they? You think you're amazingly interesting or brilliant?

[@fracritel]

Jungle man obviously you are a highly rated poker player, very knowledgeable, etc. you have a nice conversational style in your interview, but interviews require preparation not winging it all the time example I’m guessing you haven’t even been to Johnathan‘s website even to look at it. get some basic ideas of what it is I’m not saying take the courses but at least have a little more knowledge because otherwise you’re gonna miss a lot of important points or a lot of things you would already have known and maybe wouldn’t need to askpreparation my friend that’s what a good interviewer does

[@royalflush8173]

Those charts are just to insane to try and remembet

[@Brian_R82]

I used to think that too but there are simple ways to remember them

[@nealharris7789]

Here's your poker handbook: win your races, flop your sets, hit your draws, get a few bluffs through, and be sure to suck out several times cause if u don't have luck, u don't have a chance.

[@QuickShade]

JL the gawd

[@LasseLiten-vc8kt]

Poker training courses are the primary financier of all poker content creation. Its literally the most obvious "how should I monetise this thing" answer. With Doug and Solve For Why it was even the reason they started creating content in the first place. This is a problem because nobody has an objective perspective on the actual value. Hell even your bought and paid for - the video includes your affiliate link. How are you supposed to ask critical questions when you make money for every person who joins? Most likely the advantage of studying is vastly, vastly overrated, since thats whats incentivised. It could have some value but does it really have the combined value people are putting into these things? Imo GTO is not that important to know if your trying to beat live low stakes games. It could also be streight up counter productive - I did a one month sub like six months ago and watched a bunch of videos and learned new concepts (even though I been playing for 15 years) but in game it kinda messed with what I had always been doing and not for the better overall. But alas we will never know, as nobody is incentiviced to tell us ;)

[@TeamElitePhysique]

Dan needs to get better at interviewing, slow talking, thinking about what to say too often during talking, no outline etc… has great potential but needs to study interviewing and flow to create a more engaging interview.

[@terencehill3972]

the sound is horrible!

[@garygillespie291]

hi dan hi jon- i recent signed up for jon for a year- so now i have played 4 free rolls so now i have played 4 times in the last ten years- im slow getting going but im interested- so> this guy dont know how to play no gto at all- that could be an interesting thing to teach- gto seems fair aggressive to me- o really? time to shove?

@@Dr_Hj its not about skill most of players lose money long run

[@ensamanl]

Skill IS minor variance IS king For most players. Only casino and sites owners and pppl doing content and sponsors make real big money. Less than 5 pourcent are lucky or Real genius to win AT this scam. But long run the game become less and less attractive. Nearrly impossible to make a leaving for most players. Its just the true. Skill make you think you can win by working your game , you buy stuff to learn and tout keep fate but in the end waisr of time and money for the most part.

[@genesises]

if you are profitable you are good enough. definitely good enough to keep playing - but you should always aim to improve. anyone talking winrates or bb/100 to put you down is generally full of it and can't play for sht themselves - and regardless of their story they are not helpful people to listen to 😁

[@yws4645]

10:45 … interesting that Jonathan admitted that his coaching is similar to a math textbook… this is something that I criticized him for because I am not a fan of someone speaking like they are reading verbatim out of a book

[@genesises]

that is not the same thing at all but ok lol

I think you missed the point, the comparison was made because he believes in starting with fundamental concepts and connecting more advanced concepts one by one

Winnings mean nothing unless you talk about how much did you invest to get 9 million if you spend 8999999 to win 9 its pointless
