5 Step Guide to CRUSH Low Stakes Poker (2024) 

Catching up on all the hungry horse content and I will say this is the best poker content on RU-vid!

While I’ve been working on #5, #4 is actually very important also. Low stakes players have bluffs, but they underbluff. I’ve been hero calling in the past, and now looking back it was more ego driven rather than EV driven. I now fold more to aggression. My risk/reward has improved, and my win rate is materially higher.

Best video explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you!

Amazing video, thank you!

I put this into practice last night, and it was shockingly effective. I pretty much ran like death. I probably VPIPed less than 10% because I got dealt so few raise-able hands. In ten hours, I was never dealt AK or a pair higher than 10s, and I won at showdown less than ten times. I paid off a few times I shouldn't have; I bluffed into slow played hands a few times; and I got it all in with a flopped straight to get cracked by runner-runner boat; and yet ultimately, my stack still grew. The vast majority of my wins were from steps 2 and 5 (with the help of 1 and 3). I only got called with a bluff catcher once. I only made four real hands the whole night, but got paid on three. I ended up winning over 400 BB on the session.

Great work!

Great explanations. I'll check out your channel and website for sure to learn more about Hungry Horse.

7:32 Jajaja!! 🤣 nice one... Really good stuff here my friend! I'm going to apply it right now! Thank you! 🤘

Very nice. You should do more content like this. it really helps

Helpful vid, thx

Great content. Subbed and waiting for more.

Very useful and well explained. Thank you!

Wow Marc, this is crazy good. Already love your CLP material, but this stuff is next level.

I'm a small winner at live 1/2 at TCH Dallas and the lodge in Austin. Very good strategies for 99% of the player pool.

You’re a natural teacher Marc

3rd rule happens to be true nearly 100% at low stakes. Excellent content...!

You're really going the extra mile demonstrating this solver work so I've subscribed just for that. I was wondering what resources you utilized to learn poker and more specifically how to work with solvers once you reached an intermediate level.

Mad props for your nice timestamp!❤ Hoping to see more timestamped videos!

Hi from Brasil, Ty a lot for the videos! Can u talk in the future videos about 3bet strategy both, pre and pos flop? in and out position, bonus 3bet in multiway pots?

Sure! Here's the translation: This is the best poker content on RU-vid. Everything is explained very simply, the videos are very short, and there's no fluff. All other channels compared to this one are like gods of the seas and oceans. :P

This vid is like reverse click bait. Good stuff mark

That was pretty nice. I find myself doing solver jams against fish with value because my bluffs want to bet that size but they clearly arent strong but would probably have paid off half pot for 30bb instead of going for the OB jam and getting a fold

thanks for the content Marc! what would be your pre-flop adjustment in a time-rake game? also if there is a btn straddle with last action?

This was a great advertisement for how awesome the Wizard is. Great video.

Excellent tips, I hope to mentor with you soon. I currently play 1/2 in London and my English level is not that good yet, these are my challenges to start with. Hugs

Great content. The part about folding to aggressive retaliation was revelatory. That alone will save me thousands 😂

Wow, awesome stuff here.

Great video. Where can I get the database of hands/ranges from?

This is great

Think of yourself like a electric eel at the poker table. If you try to shock your opponents early the chance of success is less than if you wait until they have been injured by other players.

New subscriber!

I am enjoying your content. The low stakes games I play in average anywhere from 33BB to 100BB. When you say to play tighter how tight are you suggesting? Can you give an example?

I’ll try it

🔥🔥🔥 for the algorithm

Great video - thanks! How do things change multiway? I'm assuming checking 100% of our range OOP might be an issue in a multiway pot. For example, say we raise in MP with QQ and CO, button, and BB all call. To use the same flop as in the video (Js9s2c), any K, Q, T, 8, or 7 completes a straight, spade completes a flush, any J or 9 causes trips, and an ace is a likely overcard. I'm assuming we would have to c-bet more often multiway to deny equity?

I really liked the video in some ways. FWIW, despite the nice thought process, I think the guide is recommending strategies that are somewhat too simple. A more nuanced strategy would crush low stakes live NLHE games for even more profit than this 5 step guide. I don't really play 5/5 NLHE much anymore though unless I am playing there while waitijg for another table. Opinion of a live pro who cut his teeth at capped 3/5 NLHE 16+ years ago. I have also coached a lot of players for live 5/5 NLHE equivalent stakes. I did really like #5 of the 5 part guide though.

🍅 giving out da sauce!!!

Thanks to u i built bankroll from 0 to 8k in 7 months shot taking 2/5 now❤

Nice video. Would these apply to online poker at some extent?

You look like this guy Ray I use to know. I mean exactly like him… crazy!!! Anyway great content!!! Thanks…

Love ❤️

This is probably my tenth time watching this video. Send my regards to your cousin Laramie!

FINALLY! Someone who nodelocks ACTUAL fish strategy.

nice Video thx! You c-bet 50% default in small stakes games? or better how much value would add a c-bet strategy with 3 choices 33% 50% and 66%? if its not much i would stick to your default 50% cbet strategy (i play 2/4 live) i subscribed, greetings from germany.

#3 blew my mind

dropping the big boy stuff for free?? u spoil us

When you check your entire range OOP, how do you respond to villain bet?

Do you have any advice for burning out when playing for a long time and how to refill the passion and comeback to play freshly again? Sometimes, I feel like poker is not fun 😢.

Where did hou purchase hand histories from?

I don't know who teaches youtube vlogglers that background music is a good idea on a presentation sucjas this one. I hope you get the point. Looking forward to next video without background noise

To clarify regarding the 100% bet ip heads up and 100% ck oop heads up; the example were 3 bet pots. Does this also apply to single raised pots? Thank you.

Whats the adjustment for a no rake game?

As a Texas poker player, lots of the “standard” adjustments don’t work for me. Texas 1/2 plays like 2/5 or higher. Max buy in is $1000 at my local card house. It’s also hourly so preflop is fundamentally different since rake isn’t a factor. Would you consider making a video on playing in these games where people really don’t follow GTO strategy and call way too wide preflop (resulting in lots of multiway pots, chasing draws, overvaluing top pair)

Next Video: Combating Limpers!? Submit a likely OOP limping/call ISO range to PIO, Have Limper Donk our ISO with a linear range on Flop. How does solver play? High Quality Video Here. Your best work. Fascinating to see population tendencies applied to solver and how solver adjusts. You streams were fun. Hope you return one day.

What stakes online would you say this works up to? Having played 50NL and 100NL I feel like this works well against most of the pool

you check 100% form out of position from each positon? for exemple we are UTG+1 vs BU?

What song starts playing at 2:06? It’s so familiar it’s driving me nuts.

Where do you regularly play?

I love you

Wow its weird seeing MDOTR speaking without his Jamaican accent.

No concern about being unbalanced with step 5? Also does it have to be 2.5x? Can it be 1.5x? I feel 2.5x will stick out like a sore thumb, and villains will remember and adjust quickly

which solver is that btw?

Watching this for .10/.20 blinds 😎

All our secrets are out!

Great stuff. Do we still check our entire range when we are oop in a srp heads up? How about when we are oop in a srp multiway? I know we suppose to be doing a lot of checking when oop in general, but can we implement that strategy to single raised pots heads up and srp's multiway?

15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD

A crucial component of this video that is missing is what would Liz do?

LOL. 9x are the only hands that check. ALL trash just goes nuts.

your voice isn't synced with the image, it's kinda disturbing to watch

Dont put that stuff out there Mate! :D

Looks as if this would have been a great video. Unfortunately I can't hear a word you're saying because of the music thats playing

Wow if you just lose the stash and the man bun you’ll look like a real man haha jokes aside appreciate the great info 🎉
