How to Build a THEORY FIRST Poker Thought Process 

I liked this one a lot actually. It's an easy way to get familiar with the theoretic options in several common spots!

THANK you for 1 tabling. I’ve watched so many play and explains where the player is playing “only” 4 tables. I understand that 4 tables or 2 or whatever isn’t very many once you have a solid winning strategy down pat and just need volume. I multi table when I play. But when I’m watching a play & explain the whole point is I’m watching the video bc I _don’t_ know what I should do near 100% of the time. And it really just is so hard to follow 4 different tables and keep in my head all the action of all 4 (since the person making the video will often direct your attention to any of the 4 tables at any point). These kinds of things are much better as just single tables

This is an excellent format and i normally dont comment - one table and rant about one particular aspect such as protocol thought process is really good - can't believe the content doesnt get huge views - thanks Pete

Good format, easy to follow and very useful.

I like this format! Please make more.

Really great video can't wait for the next episode in the series!

Clearly articulating your thought process while demonstrating a broader principle, what a cool and valueable type of content. Loved it, thanks:)

love the format

Such a simple step that helped loads

I really love this format. Stellar delivery and just how you are holding people accountable with self awareness is aces! Your edge is your work ethic, your edge is your attained wisdom, why keep the tools collecting dust by mindlessly auto-piloting? Thank you for this!

Great format love it! off to play

Excellent as always Pete

I gave this a shot today. I struggled with it as there was a lot of talk about frequencies in this video that you don't normally focus on. It was very helpful to slow down the pace and play two tables, really thinking through each spot but it did give me a bit of like uncertainty over whether there were other options available other than pile money in with our value hand and slow down when we can't say we're betting for value. Really good video though and do like this format with little homeworks! :)

your videos are so good. genuinely helpful and very informational

Clarke = 🐐 👨‍🏫

That was great. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this format. A single table was great for this old man. Homework completed. Confirmed that I still hate the sound of my own voice.

the unfortunate/fortunate had me cracking up. you literally teach poker. and the editor put the video effect. CLASS

Nice vid Pete 🍀

this video is so good for people to learn the "language"" of poker strategy. good stuff pete

New to the channel. I really like this format. Like most I dont feel I am as strong in theory as I should be. Great video.

I like the information 🥕

Hello Peter. Been enjoying the RU-vid content lately. Great as always. I stopped playing but enjoying watching poker streams. Hope you are well. Jim B. USA

I really needed this, I play micros on acr with very low time banks and constantly start hand reading too early running out of time.

This is gold!

Hey Pete. I would like to buy your ranges but I’m only really interested if I can get the solves (you used simple right?) to see the ev. I remember you saying this was possible at some point. Is that still the case?

Hey Pete, this is a good format; four tables is a bit much. One topic I would like to see is: How you assign the player type based on the player's actions. Is Grade-E different from Cash Injection, and will it be included in the CPS? Cheers and good luck with the golf lessons. I suggest searching for Robin Williams's golf routine on YT.

Really enjoy the format! Recently started a new in game routine that this is similar to. I try to always think “what do I think the equilibrium mixing between” (I.e has the exact same EV at equilibrium) followed by “What is the pure play in practice based on the MDA (or HUD data) I have”. The goal is to almost never RNG and assuming there’s more or less always a highest EV line in any given situation. Maybe like preflop BvB where you have to sometimes 3B something like K6o I’ll mix. But honestly you could just pick a few of your favorite 3b bluff hands in that range and pure them so that you get roughly the right amount of weak hands in that range. Possibly it’s even the case that some exact combos do better as calls and some as bluffs and you should pure them accordingly. I admit that’s hard to figure out though and might not be worth the effort. Super frequent stuff like flop cbet BUvsBB SRP might be fine to mix too. But honestly think it’s sub optimal in practice. Even if your opponents collected 10’s of thousands of hands on you it, would likely be hard to notice anyway. We’d be adjusting differently vs different sub categories of players anyway and data would merge towards normal. Also, if your opponent is the type of player that is very good and tries to exploit you it might very well be the case that your over all stat is not representative of how you play vs him, assuming it’s not a HU challenge. Sorry for long post. Couldn’t help myself to nerd in on the topic 😂

Your videos are awesome

plz sir more of this

Why don't we have multiple sizings preflop? I have always wondered.

I saw that ratholing!!! :)

Hi Pete. I filled out the contact form on your site regarding signing up for part 1 of the poker school a good few days ago, but not heard back. Can you get someone to look at it for me please. Thanks. Great content by the way.

So at 4:00 when you say it’s a mistake to dive into opponents range, you just means it’s a mistake to dive into your perception of their range in practice and it’s still OK to dive into their theoretical range first right?

Let's go👍

cutoff supposed to lead range on jj78 whatttttttttt (according to gtowiz)

I applied your reccomendation Pete, now I lost my house and my family is now suffering due to your inexperienced advice. I'll go back to playing with my strategy, if I have top pair I Bet because I have top pair !!! leave me and my family alone in the future

can you do some reviews of mtt or sng

Hey Pete, min 8 JJ7. Could u go deeper into your thought process? This inside cards 8,9 are probably the worst cards for your range. You folded out almost all air with your flop bet and op should have much more Tripps+. Could we at least consider checking for this reasons? Guess betting frequency should be very low, how do u avoid betting way to much or way to equity driven? Small raise looks extremely ugly to me. First i would expect playerpool to either jam or call/fold weaker Trips and Flushdraws, second u block a high flushdraws. Enough reasons to make an exploitiv bet/fold?^^

Surely A2o in sb is a pure raise when folded to you?

I love your free videos because you actually shows theoretically correct bad plays but why do you focus on Zooms? Like with HUD and non-Zoom the first hand has so many theoretical ramifications for new players, I don't understand why you would use Zoom in that context.

T3s vs minraise from BU is a clear call

11:22 Q is never a good turn for you range. Should be a pure check for KT and basically a range check on that Q turn. You can definitely deviated from theory if you had a straight on turn and always bet but not KT.

you nitted the hand with A8 for sure

So it's just the same concept as the other play and explain
