1- 3b lose vs weaker players 2- Slow play invincible hands at low SPR 3- Call with any showdown value when you think it's overbluffed 4- Check to induce vs shortstacks 5- Use big sizings when probing turn 6- Don't fold vs small sized rec aggression 7- Turn bottom of range into bluff when you called an earlier street 8- Size turn small at low SPRs 9- Call turn with a 5 out bluff catcher 10- Implied odds and future FE both matter
The guy with the sticker album avatar had the screenname "Ian Woan". Ian Woan was a Nottingham Forest regular in the '90s and that was one of his sticker pictures at that time.
Very helpful video. I remember chewing gum footie player cards from the 60s! I had all of Leeds United in 1968 (and I still support them.......not the best time!)
Hello. I have a question. When you explain 3rd rule , "they’re in full whereas QQ or something is discounted by like a ratio of four or something like that there’s only a quarter or fifth of them remaining." I can't understand this part. Could you elaborate this?
On that last hand, should villain be bluffing the river there? I would think that spot is overbluffed on a full brick river but since there was a straight on the board I would think the fold equity is higher? Would like to know your thoughts, thanks for the insightful video as always
The hand at 25:00 I think you may be misreading that one. Since he's at 66% it tells me more that he just joined the tables. The number 66 feels more like he's played 3 hands before this and had a good hand 2 of 3 hands is not impossible without being a rec. If he had for example 64% I would agree with him being loose cannon. But not at 66.
The 6h5h hand is funny because, at SUPER micro stakes, people just fold to the 1/3 river bluff at a ridiculous frequency. I think it's because their continue range is 100% of their gutshots/draws, and they never consider bluff raising those on the river, so you can just fire any 2 cards at 33% pot if the draws brick out and print. I wonder if the fish bluff like that because it worked at the stakes they played at previously.
VACUUM Thinking: Pete, if we have a skill edge wouldnt we want as large a SPR as possible preflop vs wesk players (unless they are stations and we can get small SPRs with only good hands). This contradicts the first rule - thoughts?
How do you define weaker opponents in regard to having a skill edge. In small stakes I try to follow this theory but then they just never fold. Weaker player can also mean calling stations
There are 4 different types of stations. Preflop stations Flop stations Turn stations River stations Many loose passive players are highly exploitable because they put too much money in with too weak of a range. Many 'stations' fold too much on the Flop, Turn, or River. Flop and Turn stations are in theory the most profitable because they'll chase a gutshot for enormous bets then fold to the river when they miss, but kind of scary to play against. Happy hunting!
There are spots where weaker players fold too much and then spots where they rarely if ever fold. There is no sweeping generalisation about fold equity against weaker players. You have to learn where it’s high and where it’s low. This is where the real skill comes in.
Honestly listening to your advice at consistently 3betting whether you have it or not has made me a far more profitable player. Puts me in so many better situations.
I fell into a trap last year where I was studying with a reg at 100nl while myself playing 5nl and 10nl - what happened was I ended up focusing too much on GTO shenanigans and not nearly enough on reading and exploiting my player pool. Sure GTO will always win against a non-GTO opponent, but against people making big mistakes like pretty much every human player it leaves a lot of money on the table. Since hopefully I will always be playing against humans tips like yours are a great help!
Technically you're wrong, its 9 outs. Backdoor flush draw counts as 1 out. However you're also wrong because since we have a set its 6 outs, due to filling up, they have 26% equity which is equivalent to 6 outs. Congrats on being ignorant!
@@PhonyBologna from wikipedia: "In a poker game with more than one betting round, an out is any unseen card that, if drawn, will improve a player's hand to one that is likely to win." Likely, as in high chances to win. Not 100%. You're confusing outs for equity, and insulting me to top it off as if you are anyone I should worry about Also, 6 outs on flop means 25% equity not 26. Thx for playing loser
@@fedea82 yikes, devolving your argument to include Wikipedia, dire straights. Yeah, except there are two unseen cards, even your Wikipedia proves you wrong. I've heard Wikipedia has the most relevant poker strategy! Referring to Wikipedia for in depth topics that are too low level, what a chat pro! Where is the chat pro crown 👑
The fact that you keep doubling down means you are just confused, dishonest or trolling. Any pro out there knows what an out means, hell any poker player period. The fact that you don't, plus the need you feel to attack me, makes me certain that you are a poor rec. I would feel sorry for you if you were not such a loser who thinks his ego needs to go out there and call others ignorant. And I'm not gonna go into deep research and quoting different poker authors to debunk you when you made a clear mistake by confusing equity for outs, which you haven't used any source for (worse than me using wiki), and made a basic mistake with your equity anyhow, claiming 26 instead of 25 for 6 outers. This is not an "in depth topic" lmao So of course wikipedia is enough to look for working definitions. And that definition was taken from an article by a poker author anyhow, so I don't know what your deal with it is (well I do, is that it shows how foolish you are being) Let me explain it to you one more time, you clearly need to learn: Open enders have 8 outs against sets. They don't have the same equity than versus one pair, sure. But the outs, aka the cards that will make your hand a likely winner, are 8. You're welcome!
6:04 well, with a name like "Kinski", I guess we can safely assume that this player is pretty "aggressive".... 😅🤭 (That was my BEST joke I had this month! 😉👍👍)
while *you* may possess a serious skill edge over pool, I am not convinced that beginner/intermediate players (at whom this video is "targeting") enjoy the same advantage.
Would it be possible for you to make a fish ( not claiming to be a crusher or make fun of weaker players ) logic translation guide? Like I have no idea what " I bet because I am repping a 8 here" means.
@@jeffshackleford3152Barreling with equity on turn is a semi-bluff - meaning you want them to fold but don't mind if you get called because you may end up hitting your straight/ flush on the river anyway. Repping is a straight bluff because you absolutely want villain to fold, rather than going to showdown with air. So yeah, both actions are bluffs - but with subtle differences.
@@thehumblepotatoreborn9313I understand semi bluffs vs air bluffs. I am asking how does that work in his mind? Like on a board 882x In his mind he is repping 8, but he actually has KQo, so how does that play out? He bets 1/2 pot on the flop, and 1/2 pot on the turn?
this may sound crazy but i believe you should RAISE in that first hand. there is a skill edge here, villian is doing crazy stuff. you can call this knowing you get a better portion of the pot than normal due to the skill edge. i think you win more of the pot more if you raise. villian will have all the combos of JJ and TT that i think they fold! if they have T7 why not 97, 76? i think rec villian overfolds these hands by a decent margin, so much so that you win a little more by raising over calling. sure you get called by 8s and sets (probably?) but i dont think that happens enough. i believe its close either and both are better than you folding. im also not too sure on size, my gut says 33BB. i could see an argument for shove or min. i have NOT solved this for a 100% verifiable answer, if you can disprove it, i would love to see that as well as it will make me a better player.
i have delved into this further. even tho i understand the premise of the video is to like focus on other concepts that dont include blockers and whatnot i still think its worth some anount to keep in mind. i have decided that this exact combo of A9o andothers with a spade is NOT a raise due to the spades being cards they fold alot. i think fish line of bet the fd flop, check the brick turn, bluff the brick river is a thing that probably do too much, and the 9 or A of s is a likely card that falls into that general pattern. obviously if they overfold drastically you can just raise it anyway, but if you are not convinced about the raise being a thing you can even do at all my contention is that you can when you do not have a spade.
if you mean what i think you mean, fuck yeah pete should do some merch! i cant see how its not good for business amirite? in the sea of runitonce and pokercode hoodies, it would be nice to see a carrot one, or smelly wool cap!
Yeah midstakes fish are either whales who want to gamble and the lower stakes don't scratch the itch, or decent regs at micros (breakeven w rake) in general
