Some people in the comments got shocked with my calldowns vs recreationals and requested more information. I think that's fair since I am in fact recommending you make these types of calls in the video. Here is the screenshot of the amount of bluffs recreationals have in this line: gyazo.com/3845be646d7aa1d2b9ffbb4674702ca7. It's from a software called H2N, the best one for studying population tendencies. What matters in the screenshot is the "40 weak". What this means is that, over the 2398 hands that recreationals went to showdown in this line, they showed up with a hand equal to low pair or worse 40% of the time. This means that any middle pair is enough to calldown in this line, considering that you will usually need only 25% equity or less to call on the river given how much is left behind. And more - not only its enough, its extremely profitable! If we imagine a 50bb river jam into a 100bb pot, then EV(call) = 40% X 150 - 60% X 50 => you win 150bbs (pot + bet) 40% of the time and lose 50bbs (your call) 60% of the time. EV(call) = 60 - 30 = 30bbs! You are winning 30bbs everytime you call. Yes, you won't win all the time - in fact you will lose more than you will win (60% x 40%). But the times you win far compensate the times you lose. That's the magic of pot odds 😃 I don't recommend plays out of nowhere. What you will see me teaching, particularly when it's about recreational players, comes from a strategic gameplan I've crafter over 6 years of studying population tendencies. That's why I'm comfortable making these calls - because I've studied the behaviour of recreational players off the tables. And I do this by analyzing data over millions of hands. The screenshot above comes from a Database of over 150 million hands of cash games, from 50nl to High Stakes. Hope that clarifies the calls! GL everyone

Great stuff Saulo. Didn't know you started a channel. I snapped subscribed and will be sure to recommend to everyone I can. Congratz on also a fantastic editing and smooth music to make this a 10/10 video. Ty!

Incredible good job, Saulo!!! So much value, please keep it up, you explain things very very well, and clear and show very good examples! Some of the best coaching I’ve seen… maaaaa maaaaan 👍👍👍 10/10!

NICE VIDEO Saulo! I'd love to see more on how to exploit the recs. Keep up the good work!

Hello and congrats for your work i wanted to ask you do you have the same opinion for the pool of GG poker because from 25-200 nl its seem to be really nitty in river spots and most of the times recreationals have it

I just discovered your channel today. Your content is amazing. You are the only blogger I have found that actually explains strategy in a very sound way, In the first video I watched I realized I am a nit. Is all your content on KZfaq or are you associated with a coaching site?

Salve, Saulo! Essa linha vs recreativos só vale pra spots 3betados? Ou devemos dar call down em any spot vs recs? Outra coisa, nos estudos que tu fez havia algum tipo de distinção entre recreativos? Pq eu vejo que há recreativos que realmente são bem agressivos, abrindo 4x e coisas do tipo, mas os recreativos limpers eu raramente vejo esse tipo de linha mais over. Contra eles devo jogar diferente? Obg pelos vídeos! Ajuda demais! Abração!

love the content man, subscribed !

Parabensss Saulo! Show de video!! Quantos buy ins de variancia no NL200 zoom! 👊🏻

Hey Saulo! I admire your work, and do follow your guidance. Let me ask you something though. If you play on GGPoker though, you would just rely on pure GTO? Because no HUD is allowed and GG stats are likely or sometimes even totally unreliable? Do you think that GTO still beat an 8 BB/100 rake NL200 pool?

I find the click-raise bluff pattern interesting. I suspect it's because rec players' first instinct is to slowplay strong hands on the flop, then raise turn (which is why we need to overfold vs rec turn raises), which weakens their flop raising range.

Thank you for the great line, 'll try it!

I love cash game content, thank you!

Obrigado saulo, seu canal é o melhor que já vi de cash game. Pode fazer um video de como explorar recreational players? Abraço

sick re raise and bluff catch but u explain perfectly why u do that and I actually understand it so nice job and read you opponent :)

Gold. Thanks for the content Saulo.

Good video with good info. Question say your quite new to poker an come in at the micro stakes. How do you figure out the recreational players say if your playing zoom an not cash tables?

Superb video. Please more of this type of content.

Nice vedio! Looking forward to more videos from you.

I would like to know why you limp TT UTG. Thanks Saulo. Great Video!!!

In the TT hand where you say that maybe QJ or QT would be a better bluff, how often would you take that line with those? I imagine that sometimes you are double barreling to get some folds or a more credible river bluff, especially if you c-bet 15% all the Kx are still there I think.

Would love to see more content with HH review vs. recs

Great vid 🔥

Gracias Saulo, yo no pensé que tenia jugadores rec en la nl1k

Great stuff. Really nice to hear a crusher talk about the game. And yes, would love to hear more about the limping strategy. Congrats.

Salve Saulo, baita conteúdo. Fiquei curioso para essa estratégia de limp-4bet. Se não me engano já vi tu fazer isso em outros vídeos, como AA e KK, além do TT. É uma jogada que vejo muito com jogadores recreativos na NL10 e NL25 e em geral eles fazem isso com mãos fortes. Então quando adotam essa estratégia eu já espero que venham com um range forte. Achei curioso vendo tu usar essa linha. Abraço!

Great video but sometimes it's difficult to place whether they are a spew rec that clicks back the nuts or compete trash or a weaker reg, what I am trying to say is its hard to select these spots when your normal spots are reg or weak recs with decent hand ranges

It would be nice if you could show counter examples of your exploits and actual stats on how often it works and doesn't work, instead of showing the same example 4 times as if it always worked and villain never hits when you call down with 66 on 3 overcards - it seems a little missleading to me

do you like using that Logitech MX Vertical mouse for poker? Is it really more ergonomic putting less stress on your wrist for using hours on end? Or would you recommend the standard flat mouse for multi hour online poker sessions? Thanks.

Hi Paulo, is the 5bb winrate captured before rakeback? And is it on Pokerstars (I'm assuming it is because a few of the regs shown in the HH play on it)? Just curious because a few different sites will often yeild different winrates due to rake, pool tendencies etc.

Mr Saulo if we have a read that the fish is passive from another pot, lets say he checks to the river IP in a SRP with a gutter and has J high, would this read overpower the fact that fish are very aggro IP in 3BP when they min click back at the flop?

You're so calm facing all those crazy bets. GGs

can you share your thought on pool of ggpoker rush and cash 200 ?

Hi Saulo. Would you recommend the plays in this video to someone who is currently only playing microstakes?

What mouse do you use in this video? Thanks

Thank you 😊

Constructive criticism: This should have been 2-3 videos; not only giving examples and a graph, but far more importantly, concepts and context. For example, on the topic of playing a purely exploitative strategy against Recreationals: 1) They want to win single pots; not long-term / mathematically. 2) They do not understand what to do. 3) They are far too loose Preflop; results: A) They have to call down lighter with marginal hands. B) They have to over-bluff, as they rarely make a strong hand, with their range. 4) They especially love to bluff on paired boards, where they should play more conservatively. 5) They give sizing ( and timing ) tells, all the time; - more often than not, their bets are too small, especially on the turn. - There is of course more to say; especially for individual hands. So: " You are not wrong. " - However, without more concrete explanations, a lot of the video about exploiting Recs and bad Regs can become rather bad advice.

It's strange to count pot odds in this specific line. If you are decided you pay for stack and then losing on river 60% of the time, it means in total u lost ur stack 60% of the time, and win stack 40% which is obviously minus EV

what VPIP/PFR did those recs have? 23/12 with a river bet of 25% is not the same

Fish think that poker is *all about bluffing* so I agree with your point 3 massively.

nice Job, I love it

Hey Saulo hope you are well. You said you never suffered with tilt (lucky bastard). In your years in poker have you seen someone with really bad tilt transition into having a really good mental game? Looking for some hope 😂

High Quality!!!

pretty surprising your data show rec's blasting off that much for flop raise, turn bet and river bet - will have to pay attention to this. my data base def shows quite a bit of value here, but there were some light flop raises taking place to. interesting stuff

Sick conteúdo!

Your english is super B! Nice youtube channel, im following you !!

nice video boss 🔥

J9 clubs very strange played....we dont block full houses, also block streets) but we jam....

Hope you don't mind a little humor: You are a real gangster on the tables, but so likable in real life. Just like Gus Fring in Breaking Bad. :D

herman miller mirra 2 :)

Saulo if we 3bet a fish preflop and don't have a hand do you not cbet? For instance Fish open 2.5x and we are in the SB with KTs. We 3bet to 11bb and fish calls. Flop comes A73tt and we have nothing. Do you just check flop here?

O cara é monster

logitech vertical mouse xD. I use orthomouse, is amazing!.

has anyone ever said that you look like the former middleweight champ alex pereira

Are those calldowns recemondend for MTT or just cashgames?

Lol love this line haha

Muso 💜

So what solver are you using for open ranges? KEep playing like that youll be broke in no time

curious why you are using HM2 instead of HM3 ?

7:00 can checkraise Ah7h

Отличная игра против любителей, молодец!

Most of the time when fish click back they showdown with a weak top pair

Game has huge rake so at long run house always wins

conteúdo top mano segue o plano 💪

what is that mouse?

Some of these hands are pretty cool. Good info! Do you speak Spanish?

Is this even possible when 200z and 500z have like no fish?

On the last hand, why don;t you even consider that they have an Ace?

8:30 call :)

Why you still using hm2 bro?

is that a black messiah vinyl??

🚀🚀🚀🚀

doing so well you needed to make this video, lol. The stupid play is a results orientated mind witnessing an exploit... tip two is a cry for people to stop being nits... got bored din't catch tip three

We need to reopen the asylum 😂

Who are you

Fico muito tridte de ver um cara como saulo migras e mostrar conteudos em ingles , mano primeiro o brasil depois os gringos acho que vem muito essa pegada do max mais vcs tem que consolidar o br primeiro de tudo man axo lindo o trabalho de vcs respeito o conhecumento de todos mais man apresentar condeudo em ingles pra quem nao é do meta game ou ou coisa assim é muito fuck repensem nesse aspecto por favor sou fan de vcs grindo nl 25 no bodog mais mans revejam

You don't 3bet some of the fish in your examples. You iso their BTN limps.

Your gonna have regs spewing stacks to rec players left and right.

With regard to mental skills: working out, eating right and not partying every weekend also helps immensely.

What was your reads though … and honestly clearly your a solid player ty for the footage but if your giving tips you have to be transparent to the viewers … seriously … those hands you did win … but with them lines taken and the light call down you have had to lose way more than won in those spots .. you can’t just call down every street with underpants that’s a losing strategy against any player .. I’m winning at 50 Nl and have attempted to play bigger and not succeeded … however I do know that calling down so light consistanty is -ev … and thank you for the footage I just don’t want viewers to think because your playing against a bad player you just keep calling down with multiple over cars because you have a pair … I do have a fundamentals sound approach .. I’m not a gto wizard but I play a theoretical strategy as far as range construction bet sizing continuation betting and board textures and the mathematical appropriate bluffing frequencies … and with the players who are bad I know they can end up on the river with tons of trash hands … but when they are going all in you have to know their stats .. their attempt to steal are they over bluffing and so off balance that you call down 75 percent of the hands and still be profitable .. we can’t just say I am playing a fish and I have pocket tens so I’m calling down no matter what .. that’s a losing strategy honestly just please give the viewer the thought as why this play is profitable for the specific recreational … blind followers can end up losing tons of money like this

Te amo

Thanks for this video to make bad players play worse. Thanks

dont spoil the beans too much on how to exploit recreationals for free :D

Thank you genius for sharing your wisdom. Joy to see several Argentines like gabi_igna battling against you at those tables🔥

Another aggro Brazilian reg ok. Why play poker, just bet bet bet raise raise raise REDLINE GOOD WWSF 50%+ NICE

seu ingles é bom pa caralho achei que era gringo com nome de brazuca

« He’s is unlikely to have a flush because his heart combos are blocked by the board « ???? Tell yourself that every time a flush completes and see how that works out for you 😂

#FakeGraph

Anyone can selectively pick hands to make themselves look good. Only poker players than cant make a living playing poker try to coach.

4.77? Not that much

Poker is a bullcrap game!

poker is now the scam that crypto and day trading used to be

Here for it

I want to see the 50%+ times where you decided to call or bluff river against block bet and was wrong and got stacked lol , good video though, I think the point you missed is a good 50% of the time you do this you will be wrong and get stacked.
