"It's making a comeback"...meaning, thanks to this video, every mope at my 1-3 table is going to be check raising the flop tonight.

You were the man on TV that first got me interested in playing poker. You, David Sklansky, Dan Harrington and Johnathan Little have helped refine my game. And Greg Merson was the man who inspired me in all aspects of life, not just poker, to NEVER give up or despair. I still struggle with the despair part, but I never give up. Thank you so much for this almost 20 year journey so far, Daniel, and thank you for continuing to teach me. Peace, DNegs.

Great video, and appreciate sorting out the lighting issue. Great content as always. I like the CR at the low stakes bounty tournaments I play because the weak loose aggressive players there which make up the bulk it seems see it as a challenge and will regularly dump the entire stack in with only top pair... which makes me playing most trips, 2 pair, and some combo flush/straight hand plenty of bounties. Like everything though - do it too often and it becomes exploitable. Cheers!

Daniel, this is one of the best, most insightful coaching videos, you have made. Looking forward to more of those. Thank you and GL in your next tournaments, I will be watching you on PokerGO :)

This is honestly the best video I have watched that you made. These observations you made are spot on to what I have been noticing are good check raise spots. Especially the part where you mention having backdoor flush and straight draws/overcards to continue. Also having a give up range when you don't hit those backdoors.

Thanks Daniel, this is a great video. It gets me thinking about different types of players, board textures, etc. Good stuff!

Really outstanding video. I think you have a great skill of combining theory and exploit. My impression is you really got into the to GTO lab a few years ago to battle with the newer high stakes player and especially in your heads up challenge with Doug Polk. Your weaving of range, balance, and sizing concepts with self and opponent awareness in this video is the outstanding. Many thanks for the content.

I love how clearly you can break down these analytical concepts and strategic ideas. Poker isn't mechanical, so I need practise to apply this correctly, but I feel I have the conceptual framework now to practice and learn how to employ and respond to the flop check-raise.

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.......excellent video. I enjoy when you're in teaching mode.

Thanks Daniel! Always a pleasurer!. Really like the new optics!

Really like this longer video lecture style !

Hope to see you in Toronto. Haven’t been in a Casino in years, but for the 3 hour drive going to see how I do in a couple of the tournaments.

Wow! Great video....please, give us more of these. thanks so much

I think it's really great when someone highly successful in his chosen field reaches out to help others learn. I follow you and a few others and have found my game has improved immensely. Last weekend I took second after 9 hours in a 100 person NL tournament and was really proud of myself.....even if I choked at the end after starting heads up with over twice the amount of chips. I find your enthusiasm and outlook on life to be highly motivating. But I'm never going vegan! 🙂

Grateful for this video. You discuss much more than just what the title implies. You really got into all post-flop action.

Great video. Loved it. Please do more content like this!

Great video🎉🎉 very relevant to mid stakes games. I love gerting to hear how u think through these spots. I can probably watch this 5 times over a month , and see how many time a week these spots come during that month. Alway apritiate how technology has allowed me to learn from the best players on the planet, and u ate certainly atbthe top of thay list. Thanks alot !!

Hey man!!! I'll be playing in Toronto for the WSOP!!!! I really hope I can get a picture with you haha... looking forward to seeing you at the final table of the main event ;)

Love the mention of limit. You and I played a few times in the 90s in Toronto, underground clubs - where every other club owner's name was Sam. Simpler times and even simpler opponents. ;)

Thanks for doing this, really great conversation

I love this type of content. It’s so good. You should do one with position plays

Looking forward to your thoughts on those poker tournament courses that you mentioned and the value you think each one brings!

Really good shit. As a poker pro and semi-casual consumer of poker coaching content, this is way way way above average stuff here. And it really blows away anyone just using solver output.

Hey Daniel. Love your content, have been devouring since I've started playing poker again this year (and won a couple of tournaments locally, which has been great). Can you do a video on character building on the table? How to navigate your reputation, when to, if ever, show a hand after someone folded. I'm very interested in the soft part of poker, the theatre, the people skills, in which I think you're very good. Cheers from a Brazilian in Australia.

Great video and future plan Daniel!

Thank you for this kind of videos!

Great stuff man. Love it. Still my all time fav player

You looking great as usual sucker. Best Wishes Homie. This was actually very informative in general. Really appreciate how the best in the world still bothers to explain such basic concepts in depth to us heathens using plain English and no math.

Love your videos, thank you!

Thanks for your wisdom DNegs!

This was excellent. Nice work

so, this is true - I learned it on a Crime show, maybe "Numbers", anyhow, A person's perception of random is not random at all, they make patterns. I couldn't help but hear those lines when you were talking about randomising check/raise frequency. interesting Video- I like learning new ideas and hearing why we need to do 'this or that'.😏

SUPER VID SIR ❤❤ SOO MUCH IN SO LITTLE TIME…QUALITY 🫡 BABYY

thank you for another amazing video 😊

DNegs, you have taught me a lot about the minutiae of poker. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos to build up this game.

Daniel. I love your blog. I love your play. You are one of the best, ever. Period. When i play, its all about my opponent. I never have a strategy. Because im always trying to read who im up against. Its all about what my intuition is telling me to do. I'm sure that you can relate and understand that. How about a lesson on that one of these days?

Well that was a master class, just pure gold. You really made my brain hurt tonight, in a good way! 😊 I feel like there should be a college curriculum involving poker theory... You'd be the perfect guy to write the lesson plans.

Thank you for sharing! 🙏☺️

Daniel, I played in a free tournament a while ago. I had a very aggressive opponent, who raised every single hand. I knew his style I had pocket tens under the gun he raised, and the player that was folding every single hand re-raised all in. I looked at my tens and decided that they were no good. The aggressor had ace five off suit, and the guy that was folding every single hand had pocket kings. Of course he hit the set on the river and I was happy I saved money

See you at WSOP Toronto !! Let’s go

Thank you, Daniel. Huge!!

This was excellent Dnegs 💪

This is why ur the best 😊thanx D love learning from ya bro 🤪

Always love these videos even though I haven’t played in months

Hey Daniel I’d love to hear a video about donking. It’s something that’s always bothered me because I feel stuck in my ways of “he shouldn’t be betting, I have the betting lead!” - I’d love to know the difference between a good donk and a bad donk, and what the general theory is behind it.

Anybody getting into poker has to watch this video. It makes so much sense, and when you’re somebody who actually plays for money instead of a fake currency online poker, this kind of wisdom is real.

And now I am going to get check raised ever other hand. Thanks Daniel!

Hey Daniel, A great tips and I need more tips, You are a great Poker Player and a great person too.

Great Video TY Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great lesson 🎉 love it❤

As someone with only the barest grasp on poker terminology, this video made no sense to me. For some reason I still watched the entire video. This man is just fun to listen to.

How do you apply this to cash games? Is it worth fighting for the pot as much when time is on your side and blinds stay the same?

Another excellent vid! When are you coming out with another book Daniel?

What you are describing is true at 1/2 and 2/5 in South Florida on Thursday daytime, which is the only time I play anymore :'-) It might be true at 1/3 or 5/10 but those games don't seem to run when I'm there.

Love the videos! Recommend a mic so it doesn’t echo

Whats your thoughts on checking turn after check raising flop? Also potentially mix in some check raising on turn

I played in six different casinos in two states and one country [California] four months ago, I encountered check raising quite a bit.

Im so glad I found this channel

Very helpful video Daniel! Thank you! 😀💰👍

I like the reference to a feeler bet that at one point not long ago Daniel said wasn't a thing anymore, yet here it is...😂

Camera looks great well done

Much love from brazil, youre the best

Over c/r players rarely can defend v turn barrels the times they just call. Hoping Daniel points this out.

kudos to dan for being more than relevant even up to the present day, i only got to see guys like doyle Brunson when they were older, it;s gonna be cool to see dan as the old guy at the table in 40 years . He'll be like the rolling stones, 80 years old and still called "Kid" poker.

I remember when I first studied using a solver a few years ago I was surprised with what hands u want to c/r the flop with

Great video as always Daniel. I can never fold top pair w/big kicker after the flop. How often do you muck in that spot?

I actually enjoy 3-betting flops versus aggro check/raisers on rare occasions. I think it works pretty well if done carefully.

Dam, your hair is making a comeback Daniel! Looks great.

Hey, DNegs, any thoughts on Balatro?

implementing the checkraise on low paired boards immediately

Got a freeroll tourney coming up on Saturday which should have a mix of a bunch of different player types, this is very useful info

keep making videos like these!!

Grest videos. Thanks man. Bumping your desk or mic is causing some mean base. Cheers.

I like to check raise with air on a rainbow paired board from the blinds..it’s very hard for them to discount you have the set/trips

No Triton Jeju this year Dnegs? Wouldn't have been cool to see you play there

I noticed no one using this at the two card clubs I go to and re implemented it into my strategy very effectively.

What would be the best place to pratice poker? I play online only for now but i want to switch to live. How can i make a smooth transition between the 2? Love from Montréal ❤

Ok this was one of the more realistic guides for your audience. You’re one of my favorite players but at times I won’t watch content because it’s more in line with your normal higher stakes that doesn’t resonate with me. Honestly, something I’d love to see is you reviewing req players content hands and providing expert analysis. Like even collaborating with other content creators in lower stakes and overviewing their analytics with your expert opinions resonates with 90% of your followers.

The KJ hand when u say don’t lead out - On Final tables as chip leader these types of boards there is leads IMO ( only as chip leader is how I view it) I would even lead here with 45 putting on pressure if there is shallow stacks. Great video as always !!

Thanks for content. Are you planning to stream your online session again?

Once in a while I love to do a well timed check raise.

Ty Daniel for your nice advice xd

Excellent video clarity! 👍🏻. ( and content )

Great video. When you can explain a complex topic in simple language, that is sign of a great mind.....think Richard Feynman

I look forward to the course reviews. May we please have a new house tour, Amanda and the puppies, please, please, please? 🙏

Really good content.

You look hotter close to 50 y.o. than you did in your 20s Daniel! 😁

Daniel, I love your vlogs! But more importantly I am hoping to see you on Traitors, steaming on a Peacock! You would be fantastic on that show! If you haven’t seen it, please take a look! I know you enjoy reality tv, this show is THE one you need to do!

1) I'm seeing these videos because I've been listening to Bey's new album a lot and youtube is confused 2) This video convinced me that poker is a more skilled game than I thought it was.

Daniel revisit your weekly rant!!! Loved that so much back in the day! Your rants are better than Doug’s! 😂

i love da attitude of Daniel, his ego so small at da table = thats why he is da best in my eyes! DANIEL GREETINGS FROM AMSTERDAM!!!!

Great content

Great video Dnegs!! Fuck the haters!! A lot of people give up on turn and I will exploit that often with bluffs

where can I get that ggpoker hoodie that daniel is wearing?

Hi Daniel, i am Romanian also and i have been trying to win a big-ish tournament to make the budget for an expensive short film i want to make as an independent film maker and been recently to a tournament. Mid stage i was chip leader at my table and this new guy joins the table absolutely killing the table with check raise. One hand there is a preflop raiser, I call with 4/5 suited of clubs, and this new guy calls as well. Flop comes jack,9 and 7 of clubs. The raiser bets, new guy reraise so i'm thinking the guy is bluffing or got trips so i reraise big to eliminate possible one club flush draw the preflop raiser might have and the new guy reraises me all in. the preflop raiser is gone and i call. the new guy had a bigger flash with queen/ten of clubs...was it a mistake to call his all-in? he had a little less chips than me so second chip leader.

Pro Tip: If you are watching this video to learn how to check raise more effectively you probably are not playing against competition that you want to attempt to make them fold an over pair on the river. Save that shit for when you have graduated to watching videos on river bluff to value ratios and counting river combos.

You didn't cover boards where they check raise on a board where you have range advantage. For eg. hero AQ flop A 10 7 C-Bet, villian check raises, hero calls turn 5 opponent bets. I'm assuming this is a fold but how would you proceed?

Most charismatic and entertaining player in the world and good for Canada.

Low stakes, 1/3 no limit U look down at pocket kings Villain pushes you all in for 180 preflop. What would you do?

Brilliant Absolutely Brilliant 🎉🎉
