What is the biggest thing you have learnt from this flowchart?

My flowchart is pretty simple: I stare a guy down and if he looks weak and soft then I put him on ace king and put him to a decision for all his chips. If he looks like a Chad, then I tank until someone calls clock then throw my cards at the dealer one at a time and stomp around. I keep asking and speculating what the guy had and making denigrating comments about his line with whatever hand I speculated he had. Because no one wants to deal with this, they tend to stop betting into me as much.

Your flow chart idea is awesome. Thank you so much for helping us visual learners out here.

Thanks for the advice, now I have more clear understanding of the situation and able to realize what to do, I tried to play poker as a career but I always make mistakes and lose money

My novice style seems to produce good results minimizing the size of losing pots and increasing the size of winning pots but IDK if it's sustainable long-term. I still don't feel I'm a solid Level2-thinker just yet but I'm working on it. -I fold too much with marginal hands against any sort of aggression, even if calling is +EV -I can be weak on the river, especially multi-way when I was the PF-Aggressor -weak on turn after my CBet is called on the flop and my draws haven't hit yet -folding too much to 3-4Bets I give my opponents too much credit in some spots and I'm trying to identify the difference between the good and bad folds. (Hence watching this video.)

not sure how this video has not had more exposure, exacctly what i needed to continue my poker journey. thank you. =)

Nice editing and tips! Downloaded the charts as well, new problem I have is that my friends with whom I play weekly don't like to play with me anymore lol

Biggest lesson I learned watching this video : I thought I knew how to play poker. Turns out I don't. 😂

Will be putting your lesson in work today at the WSOP-C bally's !!! Thank you Jonathan and have a bless day

This was an absolutely great video.

Things I do different than GTO strategy: overfold to agression (raises, double/triple barrels, check raises etc) and am overagressive against passive players. My experience is that it works best on the online cash games I play (0.1-0.25NL). Sometimes I check this strategy by calling down a TAG with AQ (with an A on the board) and I am almost always against a better hand. When I going to the higher stakes at some points I will have to adjust.

Had a hand where i am not sure if I should call turn with 6s4s in BB on qh6c5c9h vs UTG double barrel, based on minimum defense. Turn continuance is something to look into. I liked Matt Affleck webinar about that, BT vs Bb turn

What are some of the factors that determine whether something like a gutshot, high card backdoor flushdraw, or overcards are counted as "junk" or "draw"? Three factors I could think of were: 1. Bet Sizing/Pot Odds 2. Stack Depth (more draws deeper stacked, but less raises) 3. Opponent's Tendencies (less calling against weak tight passive players) On the fly I have a pretty difficult time classifying these three super common hand types and either fold or call or even raise way too much in some spots. Any tips?

Jonathan thank you for your excellent video! In all the examples of when to fold or bet would it be safe to assume that you are in the round with cards that are actually in a range? I've not played much live poker but I've been folding hands that are not in any ranges, CO-25o, EP K6o, UTG-106o, K7o. Are these garbage hands and fine to fold? Assuming that I'm not good enough to bluff yet. I can't always tell if I am folding too much or just getting garbage.

Check raising assumes future play. Just because you check does not mean you're going to have the opportunity to raise. This is where you absolutely have to know your opponents tendencies. Also, your opponent will view your hand differently depending if you check, raise, or have the opportunity to check raise. You have to plan for each of those scenarios.

I have a tendency to call when I have a draw even if the pot odds aren’t good. Should focus on raising more of those spots

I think I overfold but it's like it takes on average to hit one hand I have to fold 60 or more hands I'm bluffing. I hated bluffing but I'm starting to see it's not dishonest it's a part of the game. Once I'm comfortable bluffing I think it will open up my game. I'm not a knit but winning 3 out of ever 100 felt hands made me a knit in appearance. Lol🤦

Thanks for another great video. Should the colours of F/C/R be red/orange/green?

Just trying to differentiate a couple things here. We call or raise more in position, that much I get, but if we're out of position we're more likely to fold, unless we decide to play a hand, lets say its marginally made against a player with wider range, then we raise more because we need more defense with our lesser good hand out of position. So we defend a wider range with a better position, but if we decide to play out of position we need extra defense, especially if the hand is only marginally made?

That was a pretty good video I'm learning alot from you and your other videos you lost me on that math shit but everything else was pretty simple to follow and easy to understand so thx for everything and keep up the good work and a thumbs up and ease up on the math shit lol

How would this differ if at all between cash and tournaments?

very helpful

Do you think it’s exploitive … meaning if we defend more with smaller bets, so they bet larger getting us to fold more and get more dead money knowing by default we will fold … or would we just adjust knowing they are taking advantage of the mdf

When it comes to small pocket pairs and gutshots OOP, do rank those as marginal or junk on boards that don't favor our range or hand?

Is this for preflop only or on any street?

I was in a tournament and there were 3 all ins before I was last to act (125k chips) pre flop. 2 stacks were big like my stack est-100,000-400,000. I had pocket 5’s and called after the 3rd all in. I was up against kk,akoff and qjoff. Did I make the right call even though I only was left with 11kchips after kk won? It was also a $25 bounty per player so I could have got $75 too.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do a minimum defense frequency equation on the fly. Do you just get better doing it or is there a trick to kind of doing it on the spot?? I can barely divide much less divide a large number into a small number in my head.

So if u got marginal hands, do u keep calling thru the river, or do u attempt to bluff based on range advantage

Would love to go over a hand I encountered at a FT here recently.

I decide primarily by how high up in my range my hand is based upon how the hand has played to that point and odds accordingly than in my head my inner mr littles voice tells me to do

Oh one more thing what if both of you have the same range like cut off and button or small blind and big blind didn't think about that one huh lol

as someone new to poker, this is complete gibberish. XD

I had to play this one on 75% speed 😅

Don’t shy away from the math

\o/

Way too complicated

Sir, this is a Wendy's
