This Student was STUCK at 50NL Because of THESE 5 LEAKS 

Amazing ability to be able to within 10 minutes each identify a leak and within a short 30-45 min identify all leaks. Impressive to say the least. To create this content for us to digest on top of that is just pure gold nuggets to share. Kudos!

Want to give props to you for this video. You are arrogant and brutally honest, but still know the adjustments to make for the games you play in/facing underbluffed lines/etc. You're like that coach that pisses you in practice off but teaches you so many lessons and makes you so much better at the end of the day.

I agree with the Trash poker line on sizing per "Perceived Range", I do think it is built from an idea that people are so predictable in how they build ranges that people assume the ranges are too capped to weaker holdings, so rather than exploit this by bluffing really aggressively in these spots, people would rather just value bet small. I still see it on NL200 a lot but is starts to disappear by NL500, and I call and I think "Wow I saved a ton of money here". Then I see them also just give up clear bluff combos when my range is weak, very weird, imagine if they actually put pressure on your range all the time by betting big. The best part is the sizing tells you can pick up are immense, so many spots where you've seen Villian go smaller with hands worth bigger in spots, even other day I had a guy go 70% OTR and I just knew it's a bluff sizing because of how he played value hands worth B70 in similar lines, so I can expand the bluff catching range. It is just generally lower EV and opens you up to be exploited hard by players who do pay attention, who are capable of adjusting and do actually disguise their ranges.

Thanks, this helped me. I was aware of my tendency to call way too light and stay in pots too long, but I learned something about jamming on the river when you know you have the best hand instead of trying to induce a call. Betting size is the weakest part for me even though I'm only playing 2NL

I gotta download some of these videos. This is way too valuable. Even though 50NL is WAAAAY out of my league right now. 😅 I've been playing and learning online Poker for over ten years now and this guy has something special. 👍

This is fantastic, easy to understand and very instructive I think even for lower levels than 50NL, particularly when it comes to bet sizing.

Man, ton of value on this video. Thank you so much!

thanks for presentation. as an unorthodox player i always find insights into orthodox patterns and thought processes very useful.

Pete! Just want to say you're an absolute legend mate. Not only is your content insightful but the way you break things down is hilarious too. Cheers from NZ.

Great vid mate I like to grind rhe rush poker on occasion and this has been very insightful of some of the stuff I am doing!

This is one of the best poker leak videos I've ever seen - thanks so much!

Hey Pete, another great episode. When you think about the 40-min and then a break, is this when you are playing on multiple tables?

Its the rake

Great content as always🙌 how many hands do you need to play in order to get a picture of what's going on?

Enjoyed this episode and learned a lot. Thanks! 👍

great video , i was wondering if you think bet-check-bet is actually it's an overbluffed line in general or just in the spot you were talking about , imho in this kind of games (i play 25 nl) vs fish is a sign of a middling hand most of the times

Nice video and brutally honest ❤❤❤ whats the suggested duration of a session in your opinion? I tend to do 1h, then if feel fresh i add 15 Min, plus max other 15. Stopping anyway at 1h30. I feel i start playing c Minus game After that and its not needed. I m recr player Who want to slowly climb 🎉🎉🎉

I love your teaching and I love you generally, I wish I could afford you coaching

Woah that comment about session length blew my mind. I thought 2-3 hour sessions were short. I have a lot of sessions where the final 30 mins are really bad. I wonder how long and when we should be taking breaks...

Great video! you got a new subscriber.

The QQ vs AA hand for the second example: should we not be 3 betting our QQ especially with position. For two reasons, one to extract more value against weaker hands (especially if we suspect a squeeze) and two if we get four bet we can easily fold and we gathered the information cheaper than calling a large turn bet.

Great analysis

Great video...learned a lot. I do about half the stuff here LOL.

I recognize a few of those. :) Thanks Pete, you are a true gem within the poker community.

17:05 What sizing would you bet with K7ss on the river? We have like 95% EQ but blocking the K and villain having chosen this weak line with the turn check-back IP I would not mind going 1/2 - 3/4 here. I don't see us getting any calls when we choose an overbet here. Do you agree?

subscribed, didn't agree with all points but I enjoy the logic

The K10 river bluff hand. When villain checks river and we bluff. Can’t we go for smaller sizing. Like 30% pot vs 50% pot size. If we’re gonna get called we might as well save some money. If the missed their flush or or straight draw then even a tiny bet will have them fold out. Maybe Ace High call but generally they like calling big bets as they appear more suspicious. 30% screams for a call.

Happy Diwali 🍨 Pete

7:30 J8s BB vs UTG/UTG+1 is a call preflop in GTO - am i wrong? what range / chart is referenced for this hand

“Bet your equity” is the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. If you think you’ve got a 60% chance of winning, don’t bet half pot, bet 60% pot. If it’s 20%, try a small blocker bet and see what happens. I will apply this idea the next few poker sessions!

8:20 The way I think about these small stacks is viewing it as a hard limit on the value you can get from nutted hands. Thinking about them in that light makes these types of plays a lot less attractive.

should the sizing not be bigger @14:33???

What do you think about Saulo Costa's latest videos where he says recreational players over bluff on the river? He basically says to forget what you've been told about recreational players underbluffing and that he has analyzed millions of hands and recreational players tend to overbluff the river. He even went as far as to say "never fold the river against a recreational player"

On the second hand (QQ) couldnt villain's range include AK too?

great video

Quality video

I tried my best using your tipps but I got broke 2 times with 30 € on 1/2 ct and 2/5 ct tables. My score with AA - JJ + AK is negetive lol. I almost always lose big hands against weird randome stuff

You need to have zero tolerence for clicking a button because you were impatient/tilted whatever, you are drawing dead to make any traction in your career if you think you can just have a little blow up every now and then. This is not to demotivate anyone, I was the same, and I was told the same shit, and I changed. As coach said in the video you can let off steam in other ways, just strictly NEVER with the buttons. great content

Can someone explain what he means by "merged range"? Great video btw

2:38 haha i always say that shorter sessions are better and the huge winners at r/poker roast me for it. the sweet spot is 45 mins for me. anything over an hour and you are definitely losing mental sharpness.

You know its funny because I remember the old advice was if you're not playing long sessions then you're not playing deep stacked which means you're missing out on a ton of value and mistakes that happen when you're that deep. Now it seems the logic has flipped.

Wtf, first hand QTo "could be a flop call" 😂

nice video.

This a easy fold pre flop with the QQ btw at 4:28 if mp wasn't deep that I also would want to get involved. We are just trying to flop a set here mainly against this mp player to win a big stack. He has AA or KK once he cb the flop from bb. Hes not messing around here. Hes not going to squeeze as often being in the bb getting a good price to set mine with weaker pairs when hes 140bb deep. I believe around 160bb is where it is profitable to set mine someone. They don't gamble like that at these lower limits. They want to hit a set as cheap as possible. The QQ once he cb. It is really not a hard spot to fold. He is not cb AK and you only beat JJ and lost to KK and AA. The odds are against you based on the dynamic. This is not rocket science stuff. You can't just say i have QQ I have over pair I am not folding. You have to have very strong reads that particular player is a gambler to go with QQ as bluff catcher. If you don't fold your hand then go cry on 2+2 how you got coolered and you're running bad. Instead of going through students hands i let them go through mine. And they wonder how I am folding all these spots amazed by it. These are easy folds. I don't get how they don't fold. It is like they don't think.

Awesome video I learned a lot thank you. Just my opinion here: I really dont agree with the ATd river bet when you say we always need to size up when we have over 90% equity. Getting called on the river is where we make the most money so making a worse hand fold is a disaster. I would always try to put thoughts in it depending on the profile. Fish loose yes size up. A passive player who you put on a mediocre hand, definitely bet small as they will always fold to your big bets there at these limits. I have read Alexander Fitzgerald saying something similar in one of his book about Live Poker. Does the different approach on river bets come from data you have seen specifically at these online stakes or is it a general statement? Do ypu think in Live poker we need the same approach too?

I can sense your frustration watching this player continuing in spots he shouldn't even think of, trust me, I feel the same.

2 hours straight? I pee in a bottle if there’s a fish at the table

Anyone know why calling KJ in position against a smaller stack is so terribly wrong, or 3-betting is so bad its reckless? I'm not saying its a great hand, but its a very tight calling range that always excludes KJ on a 6-ring while on the cut off. I would think this was a call all day, I dont think I would 3-bet it often, but a straight fold? why?

How is playing a 2 hour session too long? Do you mean play for an hour, sit out for 10 minutes the come back for another hour etc?

Is playing long sessions a bad idea?) I play races on GG for 24 hours hahaha

Mate I'm stuck at 2nl

low stakes player are afraid of valuing 。lack of multie betting size on each streets。nits alwaysmiss value when recs join the game

great voice

Fold QQ on the turn because he always have AA or KK. Fold river because now there is four to a straight and he suddenly has a 6 :))))

No way hes even

8:04 that is the worst -ev thing he could of done in a vacuum. that is 100% a losing call in a vacuum vs mp 3b range. You sound result oriented to me to say its a good call. I notice people who teach then to be result oriented cause they see the results. This a bad call. If anything he should be turning his hand into bluff check jamming the river. Calling was the worst decision he could of made. I would of check jammed. We have all the boats here and he don't. I guess we just think differently. But I am 100% sure this is a losing call long term. Pre flop ya he was tilted and I agree hes playing way to long. That is big thing with students that have improved their results was cutting their sessions shorter and playing more of them. Instead of one long session I could it down 2 or 3 and they made more money. If you get tired or impatient you gotta stop playing. Poker is not going anywhere but tilting off your money only makes it worse.

man, idk, i think if this guy was BE at nl50 doing these plays, i think he was running hot, because he commit some really bad mistakes for nl50.

Is this actually breakeven play at 50NL??

He is calling a 3bet from mp vs utg with J8s…

This guy is definitely not a break even 50NL player. You couldn't beat 25NL with this stuff.

I'm stuck at 5nl. I literally feel like I can't win. I grind 6 hours a day only play good hands, look for good spots to get my money In and I'm wrong literally every time. I study constantly and watch hand reviews and play alot and i love the game but I'm really close to giving up for good I think. I must just be a moron

lul this guy isn't going to break -even with a few tweaks, what are u even saying, I saw some horrible plays especially the j8ss and then call to the 3b, like wtf?

Sorry but there is no way this guy is breaking even

cannot take a break in Tourneys

Is he your student?

7mins into the video and I dont even understand, how this playa is breakeven at NL50. He should be loosing there with this QTo and J8s play...

🐰🥕 GLHF.

I don't agree with playing tighter range at micros. I played pretty wide range because like your student they are very bad post flop players. That is how your max your ev at micros is playing wider ranges. I crushed a prop bet I said I could win at 10bb/ 100 at micros from 10nl up 50nl and i had to win 50 buyins at each limit and then we saw what the win rate was. I didn't just beat at 10bb i won around 20bb at each limit. Even at 50nl I won around 13bb win rate. They are very bad post flop players. At 100nl is where you do have tighten up cause they don't make bad mistakes you see at lower limits. So imo I disagree with you on tighter ranges. You are giving them way to much credit to being decent post flop players. They are god awful.

how is this player even BE

what I would really suggest that people should encourage others to work hard to make money and not making people think that there is skill in gambling. Poker should just be a game of fun and time killing especially for seniors who retired and don’t have much to do. Only play to have fun without expecting to make money out of it because it’s not going to happen

Overbet more often. On bluffs and nutted hands.

Hi, I play an unusual and interesting format, 10bb cash poker on sky poker. The rake is high but the oppositions skill level is low. Initially people think it’s bingo poker but actually it’s incredibly interesting, nuanced and a lot more fun (imo) than 100bb+. There’s little to no content on this (all that there is, is for tournament play). Would you ever consider coaching/looking at the format?

Great video but your student is lying, there's no way he's break even.

Surprised this person is break even at 50nl. I lose at 25nl and play better than this. But maybe just focusing on his worst hands gives a biased perception of his play.

:D

This student isn't very good. Has a lot of work to do before he moves up in stakes.

good video, just dont talk like a frog

When did cash games in online poker go to showing "big blinds" for a players stack instead of how much dollars cash are in a players stack and why?
