3 Hard Truths On Why You Are Stuck At Low Stakes 

I found this channel lately and it is indeed very good . Good job bro keep it coming

2 more aspects about table selection: .) Play on weekends/national holidays/time where people are on vacation .) Play more in the winter time (more recreationals are bored there and play poker), e.g. use the summer time to make more theory/have more free time.

Great video dude keep it up and thank you!

New sub here thanks for all these tips, i really apreciate that. I am from Venezuela and my English is very poor, but I understand it enough when there are people like you who speak it slowly and perfectly. Thanks to this video I can assure that I am currently a BIG NIT xD but I will be attentive to your videos and I know that with your tips I will improve a lot!

These are amazing. Very helpful

You are amazing! Thank you for everything ❤❤❤

Bro you're content is goated!!!

thanks bro I needed this

What a content!!!!! Thank you saulo!

I like this guy!!! Sometimes the big ideas carry a lot of the weight ❤❤❤❤❤

Super content as always, thanks!

Thank very much really amazing video.tyank for share👍👍👍👍

Reason why you are stuck at low stakes: Saulo Costa keeps giving out all the secrets to your competition D: Honestly some of the best advice explained very well, listen up everyone who needs to hear it!

Gold. Thanks for the content brother.

Love your videos! I have had coaching but you really simplify things! As you mentioned, be less of a NIT and study theory. That’s the foundation !

Besides the great poker knowledge alone, the production quality is pretty mindblowing!

Great video man!

U r the best poker content creater, I follow u all the way from wiz. Can u tell me how to find the leaks of my stat? Is there an example stat I can find online?

"Simplistic heuristics"!!❤ Won me over RIGHT THERE! lol, Great video! (11:35 is where the Real Money Talk Begins!!) Really Nice!

I came for the amazing helpful content. Stayed for the world class acting.

Sizing up, besides the advantages listed, allows you to gto bluff more too.

Ola Saulo, nice video. I've always known I've been a bit nitty, but with my opening and 3 bet ranges pretty solid have wondered how. So looking at the W%WSF is interesting - mine was down at 46%. I'm a nit and knew it lol, and am also struggling to get out of the micros (25nl, 50nl), though I'm only a rec. But I enjoy the game and have worked hard on it - this could be a useful bit of advice for me. Next question is where to find the extra bluffs when I have no draw? Do I bluff more often regardless of my cards if the board run out suits my range? Just had a first stab at playing more aggro post flop anyway (800 hands fast forward) and it felt good. Got a few bluffs through that I wouldn't have tried, and managed to get a few surprising folds. It's going to take time to find the right balance, but yeah thanks, this could be a little nugget of info that really helps me.

Where on GTO Wizard can I find the range charts for all positions? I looked at the site and cant find them pa

hey mate, love your work and chanel. I have a question do you think WWSF is important in a soft field against weaker opponents ? against this kinda player it s enough to fold a lot and wait for the nuts when they will spew. Thanks a lot.

Grande Saulu Costa!

Thanks for the vídeo Saulo. About those call river raise and call river stats, they are for seeing the composition of the range that calls and see how much you can value bet? Im using frequencies of fold to do that, but maybe composition is better because often people come to the river with too messed up ranges

all great points, can’t emphasize game selection enough it’s crazy how many regs completely ignore it and play 10 tables at .5bb/100 instead

Hi there? I’m new poker, may I know what software u using to get all those stats?

Fatanstic Video Coach! A question please . the WWSF is the same % also for MTT ?

I am a bit confused about low WTSD%,for example if i am very aggressive e.g. bet big flop,overbet turns and jamming rivers and people are folding to my aggression,my WTSD% will be low since i rarely go to showdown but my red line will be up.am i missing something????

But but.. I identify as a Lag!

Hi Saulo, thank you for the value of your content has helped me a lot. May i use a clip of this video for my own poker channel and credit your channel? Appreciated

Guys, keep in mind that at the super low stakes (e.g. $1/$3 live) bluff catching simply doesn't work against most of the players in the pool, period, end of story, don't do it. So when Saulo says you need to play less nitty, you can take this to mean that you need to bluff more, but do NOT take it to mean you need to bluff catch more at the lower stakes. Just throw you worthless top-pair decent-kicker in the bin, they're check raising you on the river because they've got it

basic poker ,great content for beginners

What’s some good sites to play in us? Is global good

Seu conteúdo é muito bom, parabéns

where can i get that report for the h2n

Good video sir!

hello, do those WWSF numbers and the other stats apply to MTTs?

What do I do if I am the opposite of a Nit but losing everything at flips or 80% winrate all ins?

hi saulo, i really liked this video. I think my biggest mindset and thought process leak related to what you speak about in emotional investments. Do you suggest any other resources to read about this stuff? I'd to learn some more techniques

Not gonna lie, the game was so much easier 20 years ago. I am now almost 50, considered a nit and an OMC. Hardest games are mid afternoon, but when they play tight, ya know, loosen up. They will tell you when 2 pr is no good. Still young enough to play late night and get ppl to pay me off with 1 pair. Sometimes. Good coaching.

on what site do you play

Night time in which timezone? europe?

Well if I play during the day I have 58% wwsf (and 49%won$sd). If I play during the night I have 45% wwsf (and 54%won$sd). Am I a nit? 😅

Me who‘s all loosey goosey eating a sandwich: Interesting 🧐🤔

GG has no cap. I play 3 tbls at a time and there is always 2-3 players (regs) I got to grind with. Which sucks when it’s 6 max

Do you have a calling range preflop outside of the bb? Gto wizard has both as a possibility.

do you coach live poker?

Nights-grave have always been the best games. Too many Nits per table on days. But good Nits play nights for the best games.

I just watched a video about playing too many hands. What to do, what to do?

What stakes do you play now

O cara ainda estava no turn e já estava a chorar! 😂😂😂

emotional response for sure

I need some coaching! How can I contact you

I think you should filter out MW stats before looking at W%WSF stat, not all games are the same and your WR% is going to suffer if your stake level has a ton of MW pots.

I can't help that the opponents fold to check raise flop c bet and turn overpot.

which limit do i need to be at or do i need to be winning at to be able to join your 50nl cfp

I love your videos you are my hero. Parabéns.

The real reason I was stuck at 50nl is that when I played 50nl and won $5000 in 6 months in 300k hands, it would just pay for my rent and food so I could not move up the stakes. Once I realized that, I found a normal job and then after saving some money I started playing 200nl and after a year I quit my job to play poker, mostly live. Only kids who live with their parents and don't have to spend money on rent and food could move up the stakes when starting playing small stakes. That is why all successful online players moved up the stakes while living with their parents.

9:26 holy shit, Negreanu was right after all! More rake IS better! Oh my... wait till Polk finds out

Im a slightly atypical nit WWSF 52, WTSD 30, aggression 44/37/36, I overbluff river a lot and try to bluffcatch light - but my redline and winrate are still terrible - comparing myslef to other players with good redlines I found that the reason most likely is that I do most of my aggression in smaller pots and when the pot gets big I always have it

can you explain why should we mostly 3bet for example AKo on BU vs MP open when actually the EV of flatting and 3betting in that spot is exactly the same?

O problema de jogar de noite é desrespeitar o ciclo circadiano do organismo. No longo prazo isso traz problemas de saúde que, na minha opinião, não compensam o EV ganhado jogando com mais recs.

you literally said every point to have an insane winrate, im currently using this strategy and having a pretty good winrate, but, there is the oposite who actually works even better, if you have the skill to do so, there are guys playing at gg poker, 14~16 hours a day at nl100~200, and making 6~10bb/100 post rakeback mass multi tabling and playing very straight foward, they make more money than us, but its hard, both options work.

great video. actually i am not a nit. but whenever i put 100bb in QQ and AKs in gg 50 nl rush cash poker opponents always show their KK or AA hand. For this reason, I sometimes fold even 4 bets directly with these hands, and when I don't, I get very angry with myself. I guess the nit population is making everyone look like themselves as time goes on.

Does "all stakes" include NL2 or playmoney? It's surprising players in these stakes are "overfolding". I've seen they made many ridiculous call….

Nice

Do you have an opinion about Crypto Currency Poker tables? Example. Coin Poker (founded by Tony G)?

Does this apply to cash games or are we talking about zoom games here? I am doing 12bb per 100 on stars. I find that the TAG style with some bluffs and also check raises for some draws works pretty well. In the games I play that are 6 ring the people will notice if you are getting out of line and will call you down light. I make a lot when I see players bluffing a lot etc, I just call them down very light. I feel what you are describing is more for Zoom games, because those players tend to fold more when they do not have premium hands, but I find it difficult to believe that this works for 6 ring cash games unless your opponents are total fish who fold too much. I am ware of min defense frequency, such as when I bet pot they must call with 50 percent of their range etc, and I most likely do not exploit this enough, but I very much doubt you can have a positive red line in 6 ring cash games, I believe this is only possible in Zoom games or heads up against people who fold too much. So is this only about Zoom games. I am open minded though, I am sure that I should bluff more than I do and use min defense frequency more, but I have my doubts what you are saying here works on stars cash games, though I believe it works on Zoom, am I making a mistake by thinking this? I have a VPIP of about 30, PFR of 20, and 3 bet of about 6. Not sure how this can be called Nitty though my WWSF is generally 50 percent or lower, down to about 36 percent. But IF we are getting a lot of multi way pots, that is 3 players or 4, then how on earth can I get a better WWSF, I am going to get called down by at least one person in most 3 and 4 way pots. I am in the USA where people play very poorly. Also considering I have a strong 12 bb per 100 win rate, how is this a bad thing or wrong for low stakes? I think this is an excellent video and perhaps I can bluff more, I used to fold a lot, but I am much better at that now. Maybe my VPIP is too high as well. That could be, but I am trying to play a bit more LAG style. In any case I have a way above average win rate for a huge samples size of close to 1 million, so what is wrong with this? That all being said, I am certainly open to the idea that I may be playing too rigid a style, and would love to bluff more and have better stats if I can in the games that I play.

@Saulo Costa Thank you for the video, a lot of good information! My WWSF is 50, WTSD is 31 but aggression might be a bit low- what kind of range of values are good for aggression% by street? Also, when you calculate aggression frequency, do you use all pots or only HU pots? My stats are a bit higher when I filter out MW pots

Хоть я и не понял 40% информации, ваша подача очень увлекательна и полезна для меня, как новичка, спасибо вам большое

What software can I use to track my stats? What software are you using? Great video.

Should one bluff a bit less when playing low stake tournaments where it is 8 handed or more? I personally feel there is more room for tight play when having more players at the table

Meus parabéns fiote te amo 💕

Liked the info. The only thing that needs more explanation is the position on the table. You state weak players should be on your right and don't let better players be on your left. Which is more important as you can't have both weak and better players on your rightat all times. Somebody gotta be on the left.

Shouldn't the stakes you play be relative to your bankroll? Shouldn't your bankroll be relative to your overall net worth? Basically you are stuck at low stakes because you don't have a large amount of disposable income.

i fit your criteria of nit but win 10+bb/100 over a giant sample. what does that mean? i could win 20bb/100 if i play optimally?

Does this apply to tournaments?

Love having players like you show up at real games. Its like having an atm at the table.

How to make more money playing poker 4-bet shove with 88 preflop

I dont find that a 3bet % of 7-8% ist too nitty at all , i think its pretty much in between and everything over 10% percent is clearly too losse and you will not get enough folds as you are 3 betting too light , just my opinion

What does it mean if my WWSF is 3% lol this doesn't seem right. I won 739/23k hands apparently

I defend wider on SB and BB against an early position raise. Why? I assume my opponent has a strong range and my 47s is not dominated. If i hit big, i win the whole stack. It works!

Gold

Very intersting how people , "influencers" I mean ... attempt to shift some general equilibriums (and it's working ) .. it's litterally fascinating .. how a "trend" it's being created .It's like a mass movement !

WWSF just says how much you win , if your opponents are massive stations its a good adjusment to play snug

because i take my poker winnings and throw it on a 5 leg parlay and lose it right back.

It's always "at night" somewhere on Earth, are you talking relative to NA/South America/Europe? :D

My problem is I'm always ahead then suck out

I have the opposite problem to being a nit

Please keep in mind that these statistics only apply to cash games! Great stuff, keep it up.

Nits take home the money. Good Nits, bluff catch often enough to be profitable because they know who the lagtards are. Good Nits are tight aggressive. But still have 67s in their 3b ranges.

Playing at night being more profitable is just because we Asian are worse poker player in general and we play mostly while you sleep due to the time difference.

my WWSF is 48.7....HA! I'm not a nit!...

palmas!

Bom dia!

Ok question how often do you need to play to not be a recreational player how can I tell what to do in tougher spots

literally overnight 300k hands wow

Problem is, online poker is illegal in 46 of 50 USA states.
