[@dannybeckerbasketball4780]

Great advice Nathan very underrated channel you provide poker advice and strategy in a comment sense way so thank you!

[@louisvillalba7695]

I have a question for you how do i stop my compulsive nature? I know I could be a great poker player but my addiction for gambling holds me back how do I fix this? I started gambling at the age of ten and adopted horrible acts now at the age of 31 I’m trying to fix this I’m so tired of losing please help :/

[@fecnde]

@@louisvillalba7695 set tight limits on the sites which stop you spending in the moment what you have decided during the cold light of day you shouldn’t be spending. Or recognise your limits and your weaknesses and just stay clear and not play

[@mothecat776]

Nathan. FYI when you display Spades and Clubs (black cards) on a navy blue background it is difficult to differentiate Clubs from Spades.... Good Luck.

[@noctropolis913]

I see it just fine. But I get your gist.

[@Bozogumps]

Yeah they're kind of indistinguishable

[@kaizze8777]

Now that you mention that's true! It's blending in! Haha

[@ronaldfloyd9396]

It is a little hard to see. Maybe use the four colors. But still great content. Please keep helping us at growing our knowledge of the game and helping us improve. Thank you for your KZbin channel.

[@killa6tv931]

Even if you can recognize the difference between clubs and spades???

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

1:Players thinking they are pot committed when they could save alot of money by folding on the turn and river 2:Not walking to the cashier's cage to cash out there chips 3: losing more than 2 buy ins in a single sessions 4: expecting a flush or straight draw to hit because they are due to hit

[@gregh1647]

There's also bankroll management for raising with the draw. If you can't afford rebuys or you don't want to give back everything you've won in a long session I don't like to inflate the pot even if I am small favorite. Also when counting the 14 outs you might not have that many as some of the outs could have been folded by other players or have been the burn card. Also villain could be on a bigger flush draw then there goes most of your out. I'd only.raise super deep or super short stacked.

[@Fake_Jesus]

Make flash cards. Just like the format you have here. Perhaps additional info on the back. I'll buy as many as you make. No doubt about it.

[@ChiariLife420]

Great vàluàble lesson brother! This is a weaker part of my game that I am working on. Just starting out getting as start làter in life. Trying to learn as much as possible which is why I love your channel so much! Your literally like having a private coach minus the hand break downs. Thanks for all you do! I appreciate it!

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks for the kind words Ray and for watching my videos, glad they help you!

[@KH-ic9zt]

Found a website with your basic chart and following you to see if I can learn from you... God I have had some mad swings and have issues with tilt! Thanks for the videos. They're relatively easy to understand and common sense.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Great to hear!

[@jamesmorphe8003]

disagree somewhat on first example. if you just call, you open things up on the turn for him to make a bigger bet. i would minraise , ifd he cant beat your ace, like with pocket kings, he would just call, then probably check river. if he reraises large, then fold.

[@stirfrybry1]

I agree with you. If the C bet is tiny I'm going to see where I'm at with a raise. If the C bet is bigger I'm calling or aborting if I sense danger. On this hand I'm not folding with ace high flush potential but I would call to save any bets for later. It's not one size fits all

[@bioweapon3720]

Please make a video with specific tactical type of the poker plays

[@tnphung]

It is very good video with key informative lesson.... Thanks for posting this video.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Glad my videos help you tnphung!

[@gerhardmoeller774]

I, unfortunately, make all those mistakes (occasionally… but too often). Thanks for the reminder!

[@Keil253]

good one, I cbet too often on bad board textures.

[@renezenner2636]

Hey Nathan, thank you for all those videos you share your experiences with us. For me it's the most helpful way to get better on the poker table. I am impressed that you always find new ideas for new video's. If you need I have a question it's maybe worth to create a video with. You always mention the different player types like Nit, TAG etc. Could you make a video where you compare all the important types and how you adapt your strategy to them? Secondly I am from Germany. We have regulations that pokerstars for instance can not provide table or seat selection. You always say, it's basically the key for profitable poker. Do you have any ideas to fix that. Or is it impossible to play profitable poker from Germany. Thanks so much for creating your experienced content.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks for the video ideas Rene, glad my videos are helping you!

[@kellymcelree6986]

Great advice. Understanding board texture, power of position and player type is key to better results.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

No prob, glad this one helped!

[@32icon]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@MsOblivius]

Ts9s coin flip yes but not a fav vs KQ

[@ignaciopiedra1598]

Example 2: T9s has showdown value so I dont raise this hand.

[@ChrisWolfe31]

Yeah, I think he was wrong with that example.

[@larryl2406]

Two problems... 1) you're not getting max value as a favorite in the hand and 2) you're not giving TT, JJ, QQ, QJ, QT or TJ a chance to fold. This is a hand that you raise and you're happy if opponent calls or folds.

[@ronaldgoodrich5460]

I remember when I could think this fast. I started the game as a nit to learn the other players.

[@issaqumsieh1603]

Nathan, thanks for the valuable videos. you keep making the point that you are up against a single type of player, the reality is that in $1/2 and $2/5 poker cash games you will have 4 to 6 players in each hand ( the Nit, the Tag, the Fish ..etc.) it's very seldom that you are up against one player, so how do you deal with these situations?

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Glad my videos are helping you Issa! You are right, every situation is different. I try to mix up the player types in these videos to hopefully show you how I approach common situations vs each one.

[@ronfoote2122]

If we are playing in a tournament and playing against a player we don't know how do examples apply?

[@eye-thesky3663]

Nathan, maybe this is why I am not a better player? on your 3rd. example, I could never fold AQ and that board!! How can I convince myself that I should, don’t know. Been there many times and still make same move!😢 thanks for your valuable lessons!!!!

[@MrPhilaCuse]

I got to know the games where hand 1 gets raised on flop. Seems more of a 2005 Limit move. Nothing wrong with a smallish turn bet in hand #3 vs someone who is never bluff raising imo. KK/QQ/KJ/QJ aren't folding plus even nits call 1 raise pre w Ax suited.

[@ramonparrab]

Excellent Analysis!!!

[@Davids2-High]

I am really bad at knowing how to bet. It's hard to keep track of how much is in the pot to calculate the right amount to bet?

[@ChiariLife420]

Just average it out as the money goes in and that helps a little. Like count $8 each to $10, etc...that's has helped me with trying to keep an idea of how much is there.

[@donpickett202]

My personal approach to counting goes like this: When a Bet of, let's say 100 is made, I say to myself "bet hun" And repeats after each caller, like next caller, i will say, "bet hun call," next caller I will say "bet hun call 2" And on and on. This helps me in numerous ways. I've trained myself to consciously talk out loud in my head. Repeating my phrase over and over during every hand, This helps me in numerous ways. I'm now aware of how much cash is in the pot. I'm sure of all the players in the pot. I also know each players position and what action they took. It gives me great info into their betting patterns, when and how they raise or call. How they play in each position. This takes practice, it will become normal and functional. This leads to truly being able to "read" a player. You'll no longer have to study other players so hard. It will happen so naturally and gradually, that one day soon it'll become instinct. After that, Never ignore your instincts. From one little phrase that created so much knowledge. BET $Amount, CALL, CALL 2. BET $Amount, raise $Amount, fold. Call etc. I hope it helps. If not, at least you'll have seen a different perspective. Good luck

[@adamquinn4941]

Clearly you are unable to count thus for should not play

[@davidmeyer6267]

In example 2 - do you call/4 bet if the NIT 3 bets? Am I being too Nitty by being concerned about being raised off my big draw?

[@stirfrybry1]

example 3 could have 89 suited chasing straight. Do you let them river a straight? I play only tourneys, but even cash game I don't wanna check there

[@dylanwaltman6876]

Assuming that all of the clubs are still in the deck. When you have that monster draw doesn't seem mathematically correct to me

[@qsdailydose8970]

Thanks Nathan!

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Np glad this one helped!

[@johnthong9511]

I have suggestions to gain more view, usin a poker scenario to give better visual understanding 😊

[@stirfrybry1]

Subscribed. Looking forward to more content. Great explanation and examples

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks for the sub Bryan, glad my videos help you!

[@christinal2409]

You think a nit isn’t calling Ax suited on the button?

[@richardcoronel6320]

Why do some Amatures do well in WSOP ?

[@raydarby8642]

Main issue with online poker is you don’t have alot of time to really read the board or game etc as time back runs out so you have to make quick decisions

[@raydarby8642]

Time bank *

[@nicola6135]

I keep thinking seeing you in Las Vegas. Checking out all these dads and guys. You have some doppelgängers…

[@forrestoverstreet5287]

I had ak suited hearts flop is black ace 2small hearts tight player all in after flop ,I call no more hearts he shows pocket aces 😂

[@Jason-ig3fg]

Just found you recently, i love your videos and approach to teaching. I will be buying your books for sure. Thank you for sharing your alpha with us.

PUT A WHITE EDGE ON CLUBS AND SPADES. HARD TO SEE ON DARK BLUE BACKGROUND. Fire the graphics designer. Thanks \

[@michaellanigan9857]

Ordered you book and video 2 months ago and never received it.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Hey Michael, super sorry about that, its supposed to be automatically sent to your email. Please send me an email about this, I will check on it asap.

[@discountfireworks26]

Making bad moves can work and be part of your strategy. You can win a lot of money after showing some bad moves

[@badvideo169]

almost every example I see other outcomes in real world

[@Bparagon]

Where do you get 90% from?

[@AndresMartinez-cc4ew]

Yap...number 3 is mine...

[@johncooling3479]

Nathan, what if they trying to trap. You just can't know what a player will do. Not everyone will fold on marginal hands. Some players are just lucky and catch their cards.

[@donpickett202]

Best overall advice I can give anyone, is this: if you don't know when someone is lying to you, don't play poker. Because you're already in real trouble in your life. Any time you get a weird feeling about a story anyone is trying to sell you. Get away, get out. Those are natural instincts of danger. In poker, if you don't recognize a lie, and don't get that feeling, then you really shouldn't be playing poker until you further develop your life skills. Good luck all

[@ARCSTREAMS]

1:41 or they could have pocket aces

[@dylanrobbins1245]

I have the same live earnings as you lol

[@damehal]

So you expect to win with 2pair? That is not what I would expect?

[@sayedahsan2684]

Nathan it would be better if you zoom window in which you are speaking while not reading .

[@kevinvazquez6120]

Wut?

[@jasonandkathleenbarker6306]

Is there a donkey poker type? If so, that’s me!

[@LA_Viking]

Dear BlackRain: I have an incredibly awesome stupendous idea...well, not really, but it sounds good, to make you some money and perhaps those reading this too. Take your poker books, but them into a hardcopy form, and sell them over the Internet. Then take your videos, record them onto a hard optical disk, and sell them over the Internet. I do not purchase "downloadable" dribble regardless of how inexpensive it is. But I will buy hard copies of everything you attempt to sell and I speculate that others will too. You make money selling your books and videos, and purchasers win money by reading your books and buying your videos. Nuff' said.

[@BlackRain79Poker]

Thanks for the idea. I don't sell stuff very often. I did put out a new product for the first time in 5 years a few days ago though.
