How do you play your flush draws? Also, here are the 8 habits keeping poker beginners stuck: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNeGlLCQ08y8pqM.html

This is some good stuff! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!

Old strategy: Cross your fingers and be shocked when you don't hit your card on the river. Strategy after studying (inc these videos): Know your player types, narrow down ranges of hands, press that player in the last example. I'm not constantly aggressive so people usually believe me when I say I have something good (big bluff), but I've also been told I need to be more aggressive. That was such a classic example by the way. Those situations are so stressful when you don't have any strategy or intuition yet! You get the end, your card didn't show up to finish your flush and you're like... What now? Great examples, thank you :) Still trying to catch up on the pot odds stuff I'm a bit lost.

Excellent coaching. Thanks!

Excellent info video. Thank you.

Hi Nathan, long time, do you suggest NIT would call a big bet on the flush board trying to chase a strait?

Really good video - it reminds me to never stop learning and training

thank you for your valuable information

I ve chased that exact bad FD when I first started playing. Thanks for the great info, it’s really helping now that I’m starting to play again. Gotta start from the beginning and learn the basics again so I don’t make the same mistakes! Thanks for the great content!!!

Good vid

Man thx a lot! i love your straight forward style of your teaching;) Im a musician that focused on teaching when corona came and it is so much fun if you do it right! Thx for dedication to help people, i think your doing a great job! much love

This is good strategy. Thanks!😎

Hi Nathan, I tried to download your free poker cheat sheet from your website but it doesn’t seem to work when I input my email address. Could you please help me download the free poker cheat sheet?

Thanks Nathan Great video… I appreciate the video.

Hi Nathan top video as always,one question do you play draws the same if board pairs or just check calling river.

Excellent video

Nathan, this is yet another superb video. What would be great is a video that covers the in-between rules. Everybody knows the basic stack (like the flush challenge), but it's hard to find any information online that covers the differential win/loss ties with the gamut of more obscure hands like when two people have an Ace or pair or what happens when the 5 on the table is a full house...what then?!

king of poker fentesy 💯💯💯💯

I've seen a lot of yours vids and have heard you mention living in Asia, so you might not be up on all the gambling laws in the US. But what do you suggest for a site to play poker online for real money? I live in Florida and I can't get any straight answers on the laws. Some places say online gambling is not allowed in Florida, some say it is allowed. Really want to play some poker but can't afford the high stakes games around me locally.

Basic good information. A4 suited noted.

I had a very similar hand last night that I'd like to get an opinion on... I had JT of Ds on the button and raised 25.00 because the table was very aggressive. All folded except the tightest player at the table who showed a range of just premium hands. The flop comes 7D, QD, 7C and he checks to me to which I raise $25.00. He calls again. My read told me he was playing AK since he had never shown a card under 10. The turn comes a 9S giving me the straight and the flush draw. This time, he bets $25.00. I had an open ended straight draw and a flush draw which gave me 9 outs for hearts, plus (3) 8s or (3) Ks for a total of 15 outs. I calculated about 30% equity in the hand. With the bet of $25.00, and a total of approximately $125.00 including his bet in the pot, I had 5:1 or approximately 16.7% pot odds. Since pot odds were significantly lower than my equity, assuming I calculated it correctly, I believed it to be the right call. Question #1: Did I make the right call? The river comes the KS making my straight. There is no flush and I am playing against the tightest player at the table and he checks to which I bet $25.00. He raises me to $75.00. If I was correct in my call, he had AK and was trying to buy me out hoping that I missed. I thought about it because I was wondering if he might have been slow playing a 7, but his behavior didn't reflect that at all and the bet was approximately 50% of the pot. I had already bet %25.00 so his raise of $50.00 brought the pot to about $250.00 giving me, once again, 5:1 pot odds and I had hit my straight. I called just in case he had somehow acted completely opposite to what I thought and was rewarded with him flipping over AK. Question #2: Despite the fact that I won, did I play that right? @BlackRain79Poker

Very nice

For The basic pot odds section, 3/4 pot bet would make you be getting 2.33:1 odds , not 2.5. I think the pot odds examples were wrong too 5:47 - as other comments said. Like you really can call when you are getting closer to 2:1 odds with the flush draw (calling a pot size bet) if your flush draw is assumes to be about 35% equity.

Another great video, Nathan. I plan to grab your EPU as soon as I can. The microstakes stuff is super cool, and I wish I could take advantage of it easier (live in a US State that doesn't allow it). Good luck with your continued success.

Ive been watchin a 1/3 on KZfaq. And the minimum buyin is $800. And it's a match the stack game. So, does that sound right for a 1/3 NL?

I find it difficult sometimes to bluff big on the river because sometimes they just call with any pair even with the lowest pair. So it definitely is dependent on the player type. You are correct those type of weak regular players usually fold. Hell, even i will fold in that situation sometimes. Not always but sometimes its a fold if you are on the opposite side. Big bet would definitely make me think about calling with second best pair

Thanks for the tips, I need all the help I can get

@4:46 I'm a little confused why you say you 'typically want 3:1 pot odds or more,' when your equity is 35%. You win 35% and lose 65%. Isnt' that closer to needing 2:1 (or 65:35) odds than 3:1? If you have 33% equity, you win 1 out of 3 times, losing twice. If you lose twice and win once, you need 2:1 to break even. If you have 25% equity you win 1 out of 4 time, losing 3 time and winning once. If you get 3:1 you break even. Techincally with 35% equity you will win 35/100 and lose 65/100 if you ignore everything else. So you want 65:35 payout, or 13:7 payout to be specific to break even. You're right about a pot sized bet giving someone 2:1. Which means you need to win 1 out of 3 times to break even.

Hey Nathan. BlackRain79... It is very difficult to see "black cards suits SPADE and CLUBS" on a Dark blue BACKGROUND... Could you please fix it....

Does it work both ways with pot odds. Lets say there Kh Jh 5s, i have KJ and want to scare away anyone holding hearts. Do i bet pot at least?

3:20 question, why is Ace 4 suited better than, for example, Ace Queen suited?

Can i start playing poker professional on poker websites in order to earn my monthly money from poker if i play for about one year and have watched almost all your videos ?

I've won hands online and in casinos with two three people going all in on flush draws and me have the nut draw, nothing like taking a big pot on A high when we all miss and are too donkey not to push with it. It's a good move with short stacks that are desperately titled.

Question. I make it $15 and get three callers so there is $60 in the pot. The Flop has three random diamonds. I have the naked ace of diamonds. The guy next to me bets 125 and it folds back to me. He then shows me that he has Jack ten of diamonds and says that if I call he is jamming on the next street for 800 more dollars. Should I fold, call or go all in?

I did not understand item# 4 well. I understand the pot I will win will be smaller when dacing 20 BB vs 80 BB. But also one of the advantage of that is I have less to lose if the actually call and are able to beat me.

When I have a flush draw I won’t chase if the odds are against me. If I know my opponent will not fold I don’t over bet. What am I doing wrong here?

Yo Nathan, if u bet a pot size iam pretty sure you have 3:1. For example there is 100 in the pot. Opponent bets 100. U need to put 100 in order to win 300. 33,333 percent.

Thanks for the video. I can honestly say , that I fold my miss draws too much. Thanks

Great video Nathan I like PSG, mbappe is the next CR7 What is yours favorite soccer team?

I thought 3 to 1 odds translates to 25% and not 33%. It's 50/200, not 50/150. Can anyone confirm this ?

Is it 35% to hit a flush draw or hit the flush once you have the draw?

Flush with Ace high, I go all in oponent has full house 😂

i'll take a six high flush all day and i need a 125%+ bet into a three-way pot if I want to overcharge villains chasing a flush...they're still getting those 3:1 pot odds on a 100% bet when there's another caller in with them...maybe just be sure to not give freebies when it's multiway...the more callers, the better the chase...yay nutz

Point #4 very good - never did ck their stack size! thanks

I should read these comments, i was wondering how many people comment when he sais one hand is the best possible and theres a better hand out there. I reckon he does it deliberately on some vids.

I got caught chasing a openended straight flush draw last night. I had 6c7c. Flop was 2h4c5c. I hit the flush but someone else had suited ace of clubs And I got screwed out of most of my winnings from a ROYAL FUCKING FLUSH a few hands earlier. I had in my mind that it would be epic if I hit a straight flush right after that and it fucked me.

Just tried bluffing this guy on river and bro couldnt fold top pair weak kicker. Low stakes just sucks to try and win at.

Online guys hit their flush against me 80-90% of the time. It’s sickening. Even 3/4 bet flop then pumping turn. Call stations!!!

dont chase flush on a paired board

Cool video, as always… but think the music you’ve added is distracting and sometimes makes it hard to understand what your saying. Not really needed, IMO

min 15:30 --- you have A3 on the table its K,Q,T .... you say you have best possible flush ... enemy bets , i force all in .... and look into the J9 of spades in 90% of the time ^^ thats my reality of poker ^^

k of spades doesnt make us the best hand, it´s jack 9 of spades

In the beginning of the video I thought, wow, finally this guy tries to improve on his motion graphics. But then the majority of the video still consists of the old static ppt style text overkill. Gfx need to go with the flow of the spoken info, so it is actually a benefit for the viewer. I know a guy if you're interested:) Anyways, thx for the tips!

We call the worst possible flush the "butt flush."

Uhhh… Nathan, you only need 2-1 or more pots odds if your probability of winnning is 35%. 2-1 pot odds in that case would be just above breakeven, but that’s calculating the pot size as what’s in the pot before you put the call in.

a pot sized bet gives you 3-1 odds what are you talking about

tell 8 high getting 2:1 not to shove -- BUT THEY DO and bust my aces with 8 hi draw
