AA😂

AA baby

Q9s

Depending on position too

AA

Where can I read those?

@@whosRickyy I purchased both books from Amazon. I've recouped the price of purchase many times over.

I believe he’s one of the best for sure. You can tell he really wants us to win. He’s VERY passionate about training and it shows. He is my new go to Polk used to be. 👍🏼 I shouldn’t say new cause it’s been a minute but with bad health atm I haven’t been able to play but got some money coming and enough for a br so I will be grinding soon.

Congratulations!! I'm so glad I could help 🎉

Pre flop is so easy. Understand the odds and follow the charts. Play you're range. Standard bet size. That's it.

@@ImperiumLibertas that’s why I said “post flop” 🤣

@@comcast9216yeah someone needs to take a reading class which to me is super easy 🤣

What book? Ty

Ranges is nothing but a group of hands that someone (probably) has. Instead of thinking he has to have aces you need to think of a group of hands he could possibly have according to how the hand has played out so far and that players tendencies. Don’t overthink it cause there’s nothing to overthink. I used to not get it either just like everyone. Just think of what group of hands should be played in a certain spot unless the guy is aggro and that’s a range 🤷‍♂️ easy peasy. Kinda lol.

I had the same struggle. Eventually I realized it was logic more than anything. utg opening range is so tight because you are out of position and you want to have higher strength cards than your opponents before the flop. If you only play monsters utg you are in better shape than if you play anything and try to bluff high card flops, because it's likely that your opponents have a better starting hand than you. If you have aces and 3 bet and get 4 bet, you could assume they have KK or QQ, but you're dominating. If you 3 bet UTG with JJ and get 4 bet by someone in position, they most likely have KK QQ or AA. Obviously anyone can hit or miss the flop but at least knowing range and position gives you some information rather than just going by luck or feel.

Learn what? Things like range advantage? You can use equity calculators and study

It's hard to get started if you don't know where to look. How to know if a program is good or not etc?

Adding an ante and no rake changes strategies a lot.

I think 3x pot (depending on what exactly the game is and what types of people are playing) is either a set, AQ or a pure bluff. I think i would fold sometimes but make the call most of the times with AQ. Stack sizes and ITM considerations might make me lean more towards one or the other side, but i just started playing so please do not roast me 😅

He might randomly have some suited 2 pairs like Q8s but pretty rarely

Assuming the 3 bet was very big as you said i think a set, AQ or overpairs are the most likely to be shown

But then there are many combos with a queen ypu are ahead of so i would say its still a call often because otherwise youre gonna get bluffed off your hand quite often

You're welcome!

I don't know holdem that well, but generally in information games, you bet big with nothing to get your opponent to call you when you bet big and have something. Basically, you disguise your great hands.

You're welcome

Generally the online pool is better than the live player pool. I would maybe go scout a tournament and see how they play. I only play cash games, so I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about tournaments, but 1/2 cash players are about equivalent to 5 or 10NL players online. The frustrating part about those games is the players are so passive, that you will have a hard time getting paid. They can be quite sticky and stationy though, so sometimes you can get paid. I would be willing to put a lot of money on the bet that... You would likely have an easier time convincing some of those players to allow you to pull one of their teeth with pliers than it is to get them to willingly put money in the pot.

@@jeffshackleford3152depends on the table, sometimes it’s people who just want to give their money away at 1/2 😂 once I flopped quads and this 18 year old goes all in with KQ into a board of 3/3/3 😂

Yes I believe it’s because of the flush draw and potential back door straights.

I'd lead small, like 20-33%, cuz we have that Ah and Kh nut advantage and hope to just take it down there. I dont ever want to chk-call here, so ima go for it w the cbet. If I don't cbet? I feel like I'm surrendering the pot right there...Boom, you win. I 3bet pre and aired the flop, i give up. Which is fine, sometimes, but I'm going to at least try here..

You were the OOP bettor or caller? From what I understand OOP would rather 4 bet then call. IP is more likely to flat.

The order of betting is Raise, reraise, 3 bet, 4 bet etc… It’s just the number in which they bet. I was confused when I first heard it too. Out of position is typically the person who is betting first. For example if you have the dealer chip you will typically be in position cause you bet later than most players.

@@joshuabradley2105 so the person to the right of the dealer is out of position?

@@_GandalfTheGrey_ the person to the right of the dealer is only out of position relative to the dealer but in position to those In front of him.

I wonder this myself

Its your job to find out what range they got.
