How To NEVER Let Your Opponent Win! [GTO STRATEGY] 

True. But thankfully, there is another exploit you can pounce upon. When donkeys fold to bluffs, they often are indifferent to the bet SIZE. This means that if you bluff $60 into a pot of $100, they are almost as likely to fold as if you put $120 into a pot of $100. This means you can exploit that by bluffing at a smaller size, risking less of your stack, and profiting long term. Case in point, I had a hand last night (deep 1/2 cash game) that was a 3-bet pot. I raised pre UTG+1 to $15 with 98hh, a few calls, but more importantly, BB 3-bets to $60. I call, everyone else folds. Flop comes 973 with 2 spades and a heart. Opponent c-bets for about 2/5 pot. I call (knowing the opponent, I have him on an overpair, I'm just looking to spike two pair or trips due to the implied odds and being super deep). Turn is the king of spades, which completes the flush draw and puts a high card out. Opponent checks, I check. River is a brick (6 of clubs I think?). Opponent checks. This is where what I was talking about about comes into play. By this point, and with how face up this opponent has been all night, I put him on exactly TT, JJ, or QQ. All of which beat me. Even though GTO would be checking this down as fast as humanely possible, exploitatively if I check, I lose. I need to bluff to win. Now, this is player dependent, but this opponent fits the mold I was discussing at the beginning in that he is probably just as likely to fold to a jam ($350 effective) or a small value-like bet. I chose to go small -- like 1/4 pot small. I put in $90. Opponent tanks folds, and I win a sizeable pot while risking relatively quite little.

This confused me as well. If it's bet/(bet+pot) and you said it was a $50 bet into a $100 pot wouldn't it be 50/(50+100)? Basically 50/150. You said it was 50/200. So are you adding your call to the pot to make it $200 or did you just say the wrong number?

You're thinking of fractional odds vs an equity percentage. You are getting 3:1 here ($150 to win : $50 bet) but you need to win 25% of the time to break even (-$50-$50-$50+$150=$0).

Yes i went back 3 times to that exact spot. It confused me a bit.

​@@mike62380 You have to add the pot which is 100. Then add the 50 that the villain bet. And the part you are forgetting about is the 50 that you would be calling with because if you win you get your call back as well.

If you bet 50 into 100, your opponent have to call 50 for a total pot of 200, so he needs 25% of equity to win. Let's say he win 1 out of 3 like you thought: 1 time he wins (net) 150, 2 times he loses (net) 50, for a total of 100. This is not equilibrium, because he could profitably call with less than 33% of equity. If he win 1 out of 4 (25%), then 1 time he wins (net) 150, and 3 times he loses (net) 50, for a total of 150. This is a break even point, the minimum equity he needs to call to be profitable. When in doubt try this method to fully understand the why :)

Still a losing player

@@barygolyou’ll get there keep studying and implementing💪🏼📈

@@zachexum4203 he is still a losing player, not me

That's a good sign you are moving in the right direction.

My nuts feel good 😊

“while, we’ll have to cut it out, won’t we?” : doctor

You will get to understand this one day Belive in the growth of your intelligence

Don’t jump directly to this strategy.

Right.. and how do you have enough time to figure out those leaks so you can exploit?

@@thesorrow88 you pay attention to how they play and take notes

Same, good question!~

That doesn’t work at a higher level because all good players follow the minimum defence frequency. But you’re sort of right from an exploitive point of view but it’s a theoretical video

ALSO a great question, was just in my app store lol while scrolling here.~

Isn't it 50/(50+100+call?50)

@KyprosEc Ok so the total pot is $100. Your opponent bets 50 dollars into the pot meaning that there is 150 in the pot. In order for you to get to showdown you need to call the 50 dollar which would mean that the total pot at the end would be $200 that you would get if you called and won. Which is where the $200 comes from.

Have you thought about life cove $30 a week could be in the millions range.

Hire one of his coaches, bro

If you keep hearing same stuff over and over some of it will stick for sure.

I had to do a second take, but it was 50 + the pot (50 +100) = 200

Think about is as the villains bet x2, + the size of the pot

@@backseatbroadcasting2356 same here

The pot is 150 not 100. After opponent bets 50 into the 100 sized pot. The pot is now 150. So 50 + 150

... if no one ever folds just never bluff? Also if you play like a solver the point is that you CAN'T LOSE money in the long run.

Solvers are not useless if you knew the correct GTO play on every move and then use some common sense to adjust depending on how your opponents are playing you would be a massive winner in these games. The more mistakes your opponents make and it sounds like they're idiots by calling everything the more money you will make in the long run. If you don't know GTO or the correct solver decision you're just straight up guessing and don't have a solid reference point on where to adjust from. That being said I find it extremely hard to know the correct GTO play in most situations, the people that can do this are often professionals or very profitable regs

@@cjgooding4512 solvers are like lambos, they can help you score but there is no guarantee. Millions of pros can't even spell solvers.

@@kevinz8619 who said never bluff. And NO you are WRONG. Solvers can not guarantee a profit in the long run. Hence why you don't play poker for a living.

@@ViralReality. ?? If no one folds the obvious exploit is to never bluff. Why would you even need a solver at this point.

Yo dude this video is obviously NOT for someone that just started playing. You have ALOT to learn before you should worry about learning this. For real…
