Why Your Cards Don't Actually Matter At Small Stakes

That's just an angle, if you don't go through with it.

[@bernie4366]

@@TheShafronChannel It happens all the time, and it helps you size your bet correctly. I need to know how much you have in your stack because the bet you call on the turn can determine whether you pretty much HAVE to call the river or if you can afford to lay it down, also whether you have me covered, can you afford to check raise etc and so on. It's not an angle and it's not rare, you'll hear it all night long at a poker table.

[@nicholi2789]

@@4betblind only at 1-2 maybe; at 5-10 vs regs can mean anything; I usually know how much im going to bet vs different actions depending on what cards come on the next street; so my bet will be pretty fast regardless especially versus expected action (check from oop caller on previous street.)

[@Jordan-Ramses]

​​​​​​​​​​​@@4betblind I used to pretend to be a new player. I'd accidentally move my chips wrong and play weird hands. I'd make weird bets. It was hilarious how angry people would get when I won. Which was pretty often. I cashed 14 days in a row once at low limit holdem. I haven't played in a long time. Of all the things that I could do that are fundamentally sound which is the weirdest? It was fun. People screamed at me and told me I didn't know how to play poker. Which is hilarious. If that is true why are you angry? I would move to the tables that had the worst players. I knew this guy was a fish. I moved to his left and played every hand that he played regardless of cards. I won a significant amount of money. I was very nice to him. :)

[@wades9327]

The key at small stakes is to understand that most are amateurs that go hard on any top or over pair, regardless of kicker. Only get worried if they are reraising though to showdown.

Love the format and production values! Though would be cool to see you include your open rate for each of these sessions, if you track that. Just to gauge how tight you’re playing (and why).

[@4betblind]

I don't actually keep track of that at the table but I play ridiculously tight in these games. With rake and the population's tendency to play too loose and call down too wide, tightening up pre is our most profitable strategy. I have some preflop charts I can send you if you wanna shoot me an email

$1k buy in is SMALL stakes?

[@andy02q]

That's normal small stakes offline Poker size. 400$ is often the minimum buy-in, but then you're small stack in addition to small stakes. You could go online Poker or small private venues where the blinds go as low as 1C/2C with 4$ min. buy-in, but you won't find that in a casino. The lowest I've ever seen in a casino is 1$/2$ with 200$ min. buy in.

[@4betblind]

[@KronStaro]

quick note, this looks more like a smaller $1-2 game, not a casino type of a game. at a casino, $1-2 game usually plays limpy and with lower raises and bets. so in a game like this, where players raise to $25 and bet $100 on the flop, everyone is going to either fold against you preflop or trap you with a good hand. But i do agree that once you're at the flop its relatively easy to take pots by betting a lot at a limper table, although not sure how long that would work.

[@sean6721]

Thought this was really entertaining. I don't really watch a lot of poker, nor do I play, but I do recall hearing that playing with people who don't know how to play very well throws most strategies you use at high tables out the window. It seems though you have found other ways to get information without using those strategies, or to make people feel a certain way when you can't read them. Overall super interesting and funny video for low stakes games.

Depends on the table. In small stakes many players will call anything because they can. In these cases you need to just be consistent and play only very good cards until you get a reputation for only playing good cards. Then you might change someone’s mind who calls everything.

[@SpicyNuggs562]

Honestly, on last hand, villain had a great bluffing hand. He had Ace of clubs, blocking nut flush, and also had a 7, blocking 67 and J7 straights, but yeah, great read otherwise though. GG.

[@Badbentham]

As I see it, the issue is two-fold: First, Villain may often bet sets, a 9 or better, and the NFD, on the Flop when in position. So, he may actually prefer another Spade to bluff with. While Hero likely did not make a Flush on the Turn after checking twice, either. Second, Villain would love to see that Hero peeled on the Turn with the As himself : Increases the fold equity of his bluff by a fair margin. - Villain should probably either say that he can not represent a lot and just realize his equity on the Turn, instead of "sensing weakness " . Or, give up the River with some minimal SD value that he still has. But, granted: He was also unlucky that Hero had a read on him, because he gave a timing tell.

[@imSinop]

5:00 that's why I never raise really good hands right away. I limp and pretend to have nothing to get as much value out of the other players, then I raise on the sometimes on the turn and definitely on the river. This especially works well for me in 1 on 1 games.

Last hand he could have been bluffing with hands that beat you like 22,44,56,57,A5,A3 hoping you fold JJ+. Plus he has flushes for value, not everyone bets against three opponents when they have a flush draw, may will take a free card. He also has T8 for value. Even with all your reads this is a clear fold imo

I was playing small ball last Tuesday. At a grand total of 2 hours of play, I managed to be dealt only ONE good pre-flop hand, and that was 10 J suited. Recorded everything, and I double checked I hadn't forgotten an A 10 offsuit or something, but no - that was my one and only +60% P/V hand. Still won $40 for the night.

[@bukojuko]

I sat down at 1/3 Nl with $300, played for about 5 hours and left with $831. My best hands consisted of pocket 10's pocket 4s and i believe a couple KJo/A6s kind of hands also had a few mid suited connectors, everyone at the table was playing very straightforward, except for me.
