I don't play a lot of live tournaments so when I do, and sit with decent players, I try to get a showdown on a very tiny pot with a bad play or just show that i'm multiple deviations of what I should play. After that I can exploit them while they think they're exploiting me thinking i'm a complete moron
I used to make videos about PVP in a video game, and one of my core improvement tips was to focus on improving one thing at a time. Don't try to take 10 things at once and improve them because you won't give them their due attention. Focus on one thing at a time, improve it and incorporate it into your game, and THEN move on to item #2. Great tips!
I’ve read Alex’s books and this concept has been very beneficial for me. However, lately I feel I have been running into tables with maniacs at the 1-3 and 2-5 tables. So I adjust and sit back and wait for better hands but if there a way to go about this without all of sudden looking like a nit?
@@Foolish188 but should you adjust your bet sizing due to the fact you know they will call you no matter what or still go with the same theory Alex was discussing?
@@jc7883 With a true Maniac, and a hand, after the flop, that I will willingly (against a Maniac) put in my stack. If I act first, I bet pot on the flop and then check the turn, expecting a pot bet or a shove in response. If I don't act first then I check call flop, and check shove turn.
Where is the consistancy in coaching? I don't think Matt Affleck would approve of the summary section. This coach says flush and straight boards are great to get money in the pot and to double barrel. Matt says to check or use smaller bet sizes if you do bet because of the "small game/big game" implications. Building huge pots only narrows the opponents range to guarantee he has all the flushes and straights...and no air.
Would you advice to use those betting strategies with Range? (Playing microstakes) Or would you rather advice to only Rangebet the smallsizes and then go big on the boards you advice to bet big on with only Draws and your best hands? And how do you understand 3 cards 9 or below without straight draws? even 952 has gutshots. Did you mean something like "without connected cards" like 982 or 762?
So a COACH analysing SINGLE hand in 25min video completely misses the fact that 843 is a flop where overbet cbet is preferred on the flop, (and explaining why would be very useful for students to understand) but wastes time talking about Navy Seals for several minutes? I feel bad for people who pay money for content like this.
I think this isn't good content. Yeah on 843 rb bb has to underdefend. And probably against all bet sizes. Doesn't really matter what we do. It would be helpful to compare the different lines and their ev. Or do I miss something
