Join Alex 'Assassinato' Fitzgerald as he teaches you exactly how to exploit players at the poker table by varying your bet size.
Remember these two key points in low stakes poker games:
- 90% of your opponents will have no idea who you are!
- They are generally playing their hand and not getting too calibrated
Against players like this you can manipulate them with some basic bet changes!
Many students ask me about staying balanced. Remember that balancing is important when you're playing against higher level opponents. It is also important when you play the same people every day. In some higher buyins of some tournaments you will need to balance more frequently.
Alex gives you a very important thought that you should consider when deciding to continuation bet on the flop - you should be extremely specific with what you are thinking so that you do not get overwhelmed by so many variables.
He also talks you through some simple calculations to help you figure out how often a specific bet size needs to work in order for it to be profitable. Alex runs you through an example and how using different bet sizes can help you range your opponent. The larger you bet, the tighter the range that they should continue with. Equally, the smaller you bet, they will continue with a wider range of hands.
A fairly unused strategy is the overbet flop sizing that Alex talks about and why it is still so beneficial to use it against specific opponents.
