Alex is 100% right here. Buying the button may be the number #1 thing I focus on in low stakes tournaments. I am stealing position like a fiend any chance I can get. If you let me have position with an uncapped range, its going to be a rough day for the field. The scary thing is that almost no one plays back at me with anything other than super-premium hands. I'm almost embarrassed at the results I've had since I started employing this strategy mercilessly.
Nice webinar, Alex. Thanks. Love all your material. The benefits of chumming it up with the players to your left came up in conversation with some poker friends recently. You said you’ve never been able to do that. Was just curious as to why - probably because I’ve never been able to bring myself to do that either, and am wondering how much money I could be costing myself!
Hi Alex, Nick here. You may remember I had trouble with the audio pre-webcast on this video. I found the questions in this session to be very good information and would like to see the recording you made of them.
You taught to raise 3.5BB to discourage 3bettor, but in many of your examples in other courses you only raise to a standard 2.5BB. I have purchased some of your courses. I see you raise to 2.5 much more than 3.5 in your examples.
Hey Alex don't forget about us long-enduring loyal supporters, please don't make your awesome low stakes exploitative content be ONLY available exclusively to Jonathan Little memberships. JL strats work in mid stakes+ but for many of us who have tried in low stakes they seem to hurt BUT the Alex strats DO WORK at low stakes!
Most of these videos assume your opponent is a smart person who looks at the odds, their stack and does the math. Most grinders at low stakes simply ask...'Did I hit the flop? If so, let's see where it takes me'. On that 5 7 bluff raise to get the big blind to fold, I guarantee the low stakes player hit ANY of that flop (like a J rag) even with the K showing...would become a calling station, especially if he is in the BB. Most people on the button, SB and BB will call you with any sort of paint card if you re raise in the CO.
