Best advice I ever received about live low limit is that your success will rarely be determined by your own great play but rather by the poor play of your opponents.

as a dealer for the last 17 years of mostly low stakes rec games, the leak i see the most is people calling 3 and 4 bet shoves pre and then being shocked its aces. a lot of time these players are even shoving JJ and QQ back. in these rec games players arent 3 and 4 betting unless it's AA. and if they flat your 3 or 4 bet its likely KK, QQ, or AK

So true. My last 2/2/3 session I was dealt KK. Guy in front of me opens for $25. I 3 bet to $65 off my $200 stack. Then the guy behind me does a little Hollywood and makes it $265. Facing a 3-bet and a 4-bet what does QQ do? He says I know one of them has kings or aces, and then shoves for $500. I know getting cold 4-bet only means one thing - but I’m getting 4:1 and I’ve already had this discussion where I’m never folding KK pre flop EVER.

@@PhilGalfond That story about how if there where no blinds, you should only play AA. Made me realise, in the early level of tournaments when all players are still in (including fish) and everyone has 100+ BB, the temptation is to play more hands (cheap flop, limping is almost free) and so there are lots of multi-way pots...But in fact you should play a tighter range (closer to AA only) adjusting as the blinds go up, field (in theory) contains better players etc. I knew to do this, but now I know another solid logical reason why. Max-late-reg'ing to conserve energy is also more favourable when you consider this.

I watched 3 of your videos twice yesterday. Today I had my best low stakes session. I paid close attention to your comment about 5 handed hands have monsters. I showed like 2 hands total down and caught several rushes where players folded to me on semi bluffs. I also called 15 preflop middle position with KJs against under the gun raise and mucked the king rag rag flop to his 25 continuation bet. I felt it was one of my best conservative lay downs even if it’s very cautious. I had just taken 175 from that guy 30 minutes prior and felt the guy was going to tilt push that hand into becoming more costly for me than I wanted it to become. I just walked away and I think this probably helped my variance a ton. I will keep watching your videos

To win at low limit you really just need to play straight forward ABC poker but again and again I see players make horrible calls and bluffs and then use terms like hand removal, range merge and double reversed implied odds on a post oak bluff with blockers and an image balance quantifier when their 65 year old opponent clearly always has it.

Weeks, sometimes months in fact, when I make no bets at all because there simply is no play. So I wait, plan, marshal my resources and when I finally see an opportunity and there is a bet to make, I bet it all.”

Great question. Probably should be the topic of a future video, but in the meantime: If your huge opens are getting called in multiple spots, open huge and tighten up your opening range. Yes, you’ll often lose the pot with QQ against 4 callers, but you’ll win more than 1/5th of the time, so (simplified) you’re getting money in good. Just make sure you aren’t putting in a lot of money post-flop with one pair when it goes 5 ways to the flop.

#1 yes, 100% yes. If you want to play looser play OTB after a bunch of limpers with a marginal hand. #2 yes, slowplaying = losing money. #3 100% yes. Players just don't bluff enough. Also don't get mad when a rec does bluff on that rare occasion and shows it. This does not include maniacs at low stakes. #4 yes and I will add that so many times a rec with some aggression will bluff when the draw misses and some bottom pair pairs on the board such as you have KK on a Ts 9s 2c 6h 2d board. I have seen so many times recs XC, XC, then bet into me when that meaningless card pairs and have a busted draw. While yes they can have As2s way more than 50% of the time they don't if they have some aggression. I think the only time I would fold is if some 90 year old man, that doesn't take a crap without a plan, bets into me. #5 yes but I would say 3 to the flop you can bluff on dry boards with smaller bets. Do not bluff on straight draw boards as your opponents will have way more straight draws than FDs. By bluffs I mean pure bluffs with no equity. A little about me. Played since 2004. Read 100+ books, use software, solvers, did a lot of theory work. I stick to 2/5, 1/3, and 1/2 because I play recreationally. I've made over 6 figures playing poker in my life time online and live... Invested my winnings.

Unfortunately I think the answer is to learn the dance hands on so you can get a feel for these battles. But yeah, some opinions on that generally would be nice in future vids, what the goal of each spot should be when we face thinking vs unknown opponents. Though the short answer is probably that dead money comes cheap if they're still pickin' their spot. then you get information early on in the hand on whether they're ready to play instead of just blinding ranges into each other. Probably most spots one player will bet flop as a feeler and take it down, the goal is probably to catch the flops with the uncoordinated boards and maybe test them on some broadway if you're in position and they check but eventually isolating a player will usually come down to having slightly better value than what they should be on for the action. So, pick off stuff they shouldn't hit, respect when they respond, wait for something disguised when they make a move at you testing... or at least one way to play it. Chances are if you're in hands that it will influence the pace of the rest of the table so maybe we eventually tighten up and avoid that tight player when it gets faster elsewhere, but for now they're probably all folding too much and also waiting to strike. The air gets thicker and we decide it's probably best not to bloat the pot if people start calling us down light because everyone else is adjusting some, then we look down at our hole cards and know our night is ruined. KJs.

If theres no blinds or antes in the pot to start with, if all but one person plays only AA he can never make any money unless he beats AA at showdown. This is because every other time someone does not have AA everyone will fold. As there is no blinds and antes you don't win any money. When someone does have AA they go allin and you lose money. It's a very unrealistic example, but I think Phil is saying that at low stakes, there is a lot of action and the size of the average pot is big blind wise very large, people are putting in far more money than they theoretically should. This means it is very inexpensive comparatively to sit there and wait for good hands and good spots.

Man. Some of this advice does play well at my local casino. Some of it not so much. The people at my casino are mostly all rec players on 1/2. Occasionally there might be 1 or 2 slightly more advanced players. I see so many pots go to showdown and the guy with 2nd or 3rd pair takes it down. So if you have top pair good kicker on a somewhat coordinated board and someone bets big on the river. You should at least think about calling it. I folded AKs on a KT958 board because one guy jammed on the river and another called so I figured I'm up against a straight, or possibly a set. Nope. The guy who jammed had a 9 and the caller had KJ and scooped a 1k pot. I was disgusted with how that hand ended up.

The flip side is they would have jammed and called on you if you had QJs and you would have won a $1500.

1:30 In that hypothetical example where there are no blinds, it actually makes sense to only play tight (i.e. only AA) against good players, but more loose against weaker opponents. Because if you play KK against a good player, they can exploit you by only playing AA. But if you do so against a recreational player, they will call or raise you with many weaker hands.

Poker is not about winning single hands, but winning over time. If you go all in preflop with kings against someone who only go all in aces you are going to loose in the long run

@@PhilGalfond It's funny because in a lot of cardrooms around the country 2/5 is usually the highest stakes they spread (maybe 90% of the time), so you get a very stratified mixture of skill levels. Relatively good player, recreational player and 1/2 players trying to move up. It's challenging implementing vastly different strategies against various players on the same take. I find it takes me several downs to accurately identify skill levels and strategies especially if I am new to the room. In general, I very much agree that the "solver" has a vastly more complex decision tree and range afforded to the typical 2-5 player. Unfortunately, boring sold playing is profitable, and it amazes me when people give unearned "action" to OMC players, it makes me furious as money lost to OMC is basically money out of "play" and only reinforces their boring and bad for the game play. They literally add NOTHING to the game and are only parasites on the poler economy. I am a profitable 2-5 player (nonprofessional), but I add conversation and "gamble" to the game.

The bluffing in micro is rampant. Players habitually bluff with A to J high. Micro, not low stakes.

All these professionals advising people to play tight and aggressive makes a lot of online players completely open books to read... I play loose and passive and overfold to big bets stealing a load of blinds and encouraging the table to call low then outplay them. Keeps my range large as well. the tight players have to play my game if they want value out of me and then I trap them with things like suited connectors... I dunno but I'm profitable over 1k hands so It must be working... At the end of the day If everyone is playing premium hands everyone just breaks even on coinflips and the table is stale and boring... The pro's tell you to play this way so they can rinse you playing loose and read you like a book...
