What To Do When You MISS The FLOP [Poker Strategy] 

A. Definitely A.

A

A for sure

I would definitely say I am perfectly balanced between folding away all my equity and over betting and losing all my chips.

Cry

Once they master GTO they won’t do that anymore

Some players don’t miss the flop because they see it 100% of the time. The flop really wishes they’d give it some space.

Genius...

If you miss the flop, don’t worry - another one will be along in a few minutes. They’re like busses.

It's simple, we kill the batman.

Right on point! I've learned to take a second, think it through, and make the tough but necessary fold. Lose a little, win a lot!

This is my current issue. Really trying to focus on my post flop aggression to correct it

My pleasure!

Dont get carried away Good job man👏👏👏👏

What do you note down in the book? How are you doing in the game now?

That's very kind of you to say 🙏 thank you!

Me too 😂

Glad you like them!

Depends on who has position.

Thanks John! Appreciate it 😁

Easy When you dont have the nut advantage and stack syzes get smaller you wanna do it more Start with the obvious scenarios and move up

What? It's way better for you if your opponents don't know how you play. If I go play live at a place where people don't know me. I will usually play it up that I don't know what I'm doing if I can. You just need to work woth whatever table image you've got that night.

My pleasure

I was betting 1/2 pot on dry flops and 3/4 on wet flops and i was doing pretty good. Also if the preflop agressor bet small on the flop (less than half pot) most of the time especially on wet flops i was check/raising them and won most of the time. even if they call my raise i was betting 3/4 pot on safe card on turn and won most of the time. Hole cards don't matter. Definitely +EV recipe for micro stakes. but lately i started watching too much videos like this and reading articles on poker strategy that advocate for betting small...

I implemented small bets and from being 25NL crusher I can't even beat 2NL. I get stacked by fish and donkeys time after time even on 2NL. R.I.P. bankroll 😂 I think that poker coaches should state that some strategies are not for micros...

I’ll bluff depending on texture….I actually believe any paired rainbow board should be bet 100% in position

I have the same exact question - especially when thinking about situatuons like ex4 and ex5 from the video. A clearer definition of "having more" Ax/Kx etc is needed

What they said

I agree, I was confused by this example too and came to the comments looking for answers. Any insight over the last year that might explain his thought process? Haha

thats why we used to call it Anna Kournikova - looks great but plays like shit

I feel you, maybe partly because AK is played more hands?

that being said this video was still helpful

I don't have an answer for you but I completely empathize with your sentiments.

If your playing cash then you can afford to just wait on hands and go from there. Losing a few small hands to see what they are playing will pay off in the long run.

It doesn't matter if your opponent is not thinking in the same level as you. You should still think about how to play vs their entire range. If you open UTG and get called UTG+1 they should have mostly suited broadways and medium pocket pairs. They should have no garbage and they also have no QQ+ because they would've raised that. If the BB defends you they have a very wide range, much lower cards on average, far less pocket pairs. So the UTG+1 has range advantage on a high coordinated board like QT8 2 tone. The BB has range advantage on a low-low-low board. You will have range advantage on a uncoordinated high card board like A73 or K95.

Thank you too!

ANY IMPROVEMENT? CANT BE BLAMED AS YOU ARE GOING FOR TOP SPOT AND NOT JUST BEING IN THE MONEY WHICH ONLY RECOVERS YOUR BUY-INN AT MOST. I LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I DID THAT. BUT IT HURTS EVEN FOR A DOLLAR BUY-INNS!!!

YOU HAVE TO STUDY YOUR OPPONENTS BY SEEING THEIR TENDENCIES. SO IT COMES BY REAL TIME EXPERIENCE. FIRST HOUR!!!!

@@king_has_no_clothskul8635 heh-heh. Wow. Dassa lotta caps and exclamations. I dunno. It just seems to me that if your opponent is any good, he's gonna mix up his tendencies. So you really don't know his range. At least not to the accuracy where you can just plug it into a mathematical equation like it's a given fact. But dat's just me. I can tell by the caps you know what you're talking about so I'm probably wrong.

@@joeseddit well, they failed to apply the knowledge. what was rahul doing? rohit gav his wicket away, gill horrible shot when not set. no rotation of strike. there are chinks in batting order:lack of depth. surkya kumar is not a one day player. he got out 3 times straight and that were the signs. all he does is sweep and did not adopt when they were balling short, stay there till 50 th over. did you see how pat commions bailed out asustralia both in tests and one dayers? against afghanistan? afghan failed dropping sitters( young country and budding one. so you pardon them). --------------- after 6 there is nothing. on top of that you have PANDYA MISSING IN ACTION. YOU JUST HAVE ONE GUY WHO CAN BAT N BOWL AND HE WAS GONE MISSING. HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN YADAVS SPOT AND HE HAS THE SHOTS TO HIT ANYWHERE UNLIKE SURYA KUMAR YADAV WHO FELL IN TO A TRAP. SANJU SAMSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY IN MIDDLE ORDER WAS NOT CONSIDERED AT ALL. --------------------- INDIA ALSO HAD NO PANT. WHILE AUSSIES HAD NO SPACE EVEN FOR STONIS--A PREMIER ALL ROUNDER. SO EVERYTHING FELL IN PLACE FOR AUSTRALIA. A HORRENDOUS PITCH WHICH WENT DID. WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PEOPLE AGAINST YOU YOU CANT WIN. ----------------------------------------------------- TO AGAINST CRICKET BOARD THEY PROVIDED A GREEN TOP WHEN INDIA WAS LAGGING BEHIND IN 2004, AND AUSTRALIA TOOK THE SERIES. A RANK TURNER IN MUMBAI WAS TOO LATE ---------------------------------------------------- THESE FACTORS ARE TAKEN OUT IN AMERICAN GAMES: THEY HAVE NO WEATHER INTERFERENCE AND AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES. ------------------------------------------------------- LAST WORLD CUP WAS THEIR EXCELLENT CHANCE BUT AGAIN INEXPERIENCED MIDDLE ORDER DID THEM INN: BOTH PANDYA AND PANT GOING FOR NEEDLESS SHOTS. SHAMMI A PREMIER SWING BOWLERS WAS NOT SELECTED. NZ WOULD HAVE BEEN SKILTTLED FOR 150! IN-FORM DAWAN WAS INJURED AND DID NOT PLAY!! ------------------- A MIRACLE HIT WAS REQUIRED TO GET DHONI OUT THOUGH IT WAS TOUCH LATE AND SAME BOWL WENT FOR 4 RUNS AGAINST ENGLAND( KARMA FOR THAT LOW BUDGET NEWZEALAND). THE CHINKS IN INDIAN ARMOUR WERE SHOWN BY MITCHELL AND WILLIAMSON IN THAT SEMI-FINALS!! BUT FORTUNATELY PITCH HAD SOME LIFE UNLIKE THIS. ------------------------------------ MICKEY MOUSE GROUNDS. NO GROUND IS 80 METERS. ===================== IYER SITTING DUCK AGAINST QUALITY PACE BOWLING. HE WAS SITTING BACK ON A SLOW PITCH FEARING BOUNCERS RATHER THAN BLOCKING THE BALL STANDING OUTSIDE THE CREASE ON FRONT FOOT. AND YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND SADLY BEING A SCIENTIST I KNEW IT! -------------------------------------- BARRING KOHLI NOBODY DOES ROTATION OF STRIKES WHICH WAS NEEDED WHEN BOUNDARIES WERE NOT COMING!! ------------------------- IN INDIA GAVASKAR, TENDULKAR, KOHLI AND DHONI ARE THE GREATE RUNNERS BETWEEN THE WICKETS AND ON LOWER LEVEL JADEJA, AZHAR OCCASSIONALLY AND ROBIN SINGH( WHO REDEEMED HIS CARRER) ROTATED THE STRIKE. REST BASICALLY SUCK! --------------------------------------------------------------- I KNOW HOW TO BEAT AUSSIES BUT I AM NOT INVOLVED. YOU SEE HOW ARGENTINA BEAT FRANCE DESPITE MBAPPE THREATENING AN UPSET( THERE IS NO PITCH DECIDING IN SOCCER FORTUNATELY THOUGH ARGENTINA BLEW SO MANY CHANCE IN THE FIRST HALF AND IT NEARLY COST THEM). THE SAME ARGENTINA WON HOCKEY OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WHICH HEAVY WEIGHT INDIA HAS NOT DONE IN MY LIFE TIME. ---------------------------------- A SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY PLAYING HOCKEY AND WINNING GOLD AT OLYMPICS IS ONE OF THE SPORTS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AND EXPLAIN HOW IT HAPPENED? IT IS LIKE DUTCH WINNING WORLD CUP BEATING AUSSIES!!! ------------------------------------ SO WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. -------------------------------------------------------- INDIA DID NOT PLAY ASHWIN IN TEST MATCH WORLD CUP AND THEY PLAYED HIM IN A PREVIOUS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON OVERCAST CONDITIONS!! SO THESE PEOPLE GOOFING UP IS NOTHING NEW. --------------------------------------------------- AND POOR WEATHER ALWAYS INTERFERING WITH SOUTH AFRICANS IS BEYOND ME. THEY ALSO GOOFED UP WITH MILLER NOT STAYING TILL 50TH OVER. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A SECOND STIRNG INDIAN TEAM BEAT AUSSIES IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD. SO IT IS DOABLE. BUT YOU HAVE TO PLAN PROPERLY. THERE THE PITCHES WERE CONSISTENT. THOUGH AUSTRALIA MAKES BOUNCY PITCHES AND TOURING NATIONS COMING WITH NO PLAN AND PROPER PREPARTION IN AUSTRALIA MEANS NOBODY HAS BEATEN THEM BARRING INDIA. --------------------------------------------- AND OVERCONFIDENT ENGLAND BIT THE DUST. WHY? THEY PLAYED IN ENGLAND AND SHOWED UP THINKING THEY KNOW CONDITIONS AS THEIR PLAYERS PLAY IPL. IPL HAPPENS IN SUMMER. THIS IS BEGINNING OF WINTER. AND THAT IS T-20, A FOUR HOUR MATCH TO 9 HOUR 50 OVER MATCH! ------------------------------ SO IF YOU LOOK DEEP, YOU KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG. ------------------------------- THE PROBLEM WHY IT HURTS IS TOO MUCH WAIT. ONCE IN 4 YEARS AND ONE OFF? COME ON NOW. WE ARE IN A MODERN ERA. ------------------------------------------------------ I CAME TO KNOW ALL THIS FROM USA SPORTS!! THE METHOD TO MADNESS!!! ------------------- BUT THEY DONT LISTEN TO GUYS LIKE US. AS THIS KNOWLEDGE IS USED FOR BIGGER THINGS. INVENTION, LIFE CHANGES AND ECONOMY. IT IS TOO MUCH TO APPLY IN SPORTS. ----------------------- I HAD SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH TENDULKAR USING HIS BAT SINCE A KID. I WENT TO WAR FOR LIGHTER BATS. --------------------------- HEAVY BAT IS ILLEGAL WHEREVER I HAVE PLAYED AMATEUR CRICKET!!!

@@joeseddit LOL. I TYPED CRICKET GAME WHICH INDIA LOST: WORLD CUP FINAL!!! ----------------------- poker is not a perfect game man. --------- you have to study your opponent and know how he is calling based on that you adjust your range is the point. what type of player he is, is what you have to determine. all poker sites say that no matter what pot-odds, equity, bet size that and this you decide. ------------- a player will call based on his position,stack size and stage at the tournament. he is not gonna play the same way at different stages,positions and stack sizes. he will alter his bet sizes and also his bluffs and adjust his range. you also adjust yours based on that player or players. ------------------- and HOPE the cards FALL ON YOUR SIDE RATHER THAN THEIRS. ----------------- IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS OF PRACTICE AND EASIER SAID THAN DONE FOR SURE. --------------- LITTLE SAID HE WAS PLAYING 5000 HANDS PER DAY. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN 3 TO 4 MILLION HANDS( WHICH IS 4 YEARS 12 HOURS WORK PER DAY ONLINE PLAYING MULTI-TABLES AT 60 HANDS PER HOUR) LIVE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE AS YOU CAN PLAY MAX 30). ----------------- HE STARTED YOUNG AND HAS GRINDED. SO HE HAS TIME. ------------------- FOR NEW-BEES IT IS BABY STEPS. AS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW THESE RANGES AT 10 STACK SIZES AND 9 POSITIONS. THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 169 STARTING HANDS IN THAT CUBE. ---------------------- YOU ARE NOT GONNA PLUG AND STUDY IN GTO RIGHT AWAY AS YOU NEED THAT SOFTWARE AND YOU HAVE TO BUY. NOT SURE POKER COACHING PROVIDES IT ONLINE. ----------------------------- IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MASTER THOSE PRE-FLOP CHARTS THAT ARE GIVEN FREE. THEY ARE JUST GUIDELINES AND CANT BE BY-HEARTED. ALSO PUSH FOLD CHART AND QUIZZ. ------------------ SO POKER IS BEATING YOUR OPPONENT. ----------------------- NOW WITH SOLVER INVOLVED, ANALYTICAL AND ALSO STATSTICAL. MEANING THEY KNOW HOW MANY TIMES 10/10 FLOPS A SET BASED ON STATSTICS AS SOLVER IS MORE MATHEMATICAL THAN REALITY( IT HAS FEEDER FROM EXPERTS). AND MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY IS NOT THAT USEFUL. IT IS USEFUL BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. ----------------------- ONCE YOU NAIL THE MATH, PRE-FLOP CHARTS AND KNOW THEM ROUGHLY AT THESE POSITIONS AND STACK SIZES. THEN YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON EXPLOITATIVE( WHICH COMES BY REAL PRACTICE AND NOT STUDYING AT TABLE). AND BRAVE TO BLUFF ALL THE TIME AS THERE IS MASSIVE VARIANCE. YOU WILL GO DOWN 5K IN ORDER TO WIN 15K. ------------------------------------ YOU NEED TO READY TO LOSE AND HAVE PROPER BANKROLL. YOU NEED TO HAVE MONEY COMING INN SO THAT YOU LOSE 1000 DOLLARS IN A SESSION. YOU EITHER TAKE 2 WEEKS OFF TO GET THAT MONEY OR DO NOT RISK SO MUCH!! ---------------------------------- THESE ARE ELITE PLAYERS AND THEY BUY IN 25000 K LIKE IT IS NOTHING. THAT IS NOT FOR ORDINARY MORTALS. I SEE 1 DOLLAR AND 2 DOLLAR POT SIZE BLOWS TO 1000! SO IT GETS EXPONENTIAL JUST LIKE THAT. ------------------------------ HE IS A TREMENDOUS PLAYER AS HE HAS BEEN DOWN ONLY 25K IT SEEMS. JARVIS ANOTHER GUY WHO SAID HE WAS NEVER BAD BEAT. ---------------------------- BUT NEGRENEU KEPT IT REAL AND SAID I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION DOWN INTHAT INTERVIEW AND HIS 12 MILLION WIN CAME NEARLY A DECADE AGO. --------------------------- IN HIS 25000 DOLLAR BUY INN AN OPPONENT HAD GONE IN 9 TIMES WITHIN FIRST 2 HOURS ALREADY! 9 BULLETS. THAT MEANS HE BLEW 250K ALREADY. WHICH IS A COLLEGE BUDGET AT ELITE COLLEGES IN USA. --------------------------- SO YOU HAVE TO START AT BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP AND IT HELPS FOR PEOPLE WHO START YOUNG WITH NO BURDEN AS TIME ON THEIR SIDE AND THEY CAN AFFORD TO BLOW 4 HOURS GRINDING, 4 YEARS MASTERING!!! ---------------------------- THE 200 DOLLAR EARNING IS ELITE OF ELITE. YOU HAVE TO GET MONEY FORM OPPONENTS WHO ARE ALSO THERE TO WIN. ------------------------- THIS IS VERY HARD BECAUSE IF YOU GET FINANCIAL DEGREE IT PAYS 180K WITH THAT 250K FOR STARTERS AND USA IS THE BIG BOSS. -------------------------- SO IF YOU ARE VERY WELL ENDOWED IN BLOWING MONEY YOU HAVE TO GO FOR IT AS LOSS IS PAINFUL. HE HAS SPENT LOT OF TIME TO DEAL WITH THEM DOWNSWINGS. ------------------------- THESE TOP PROS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. THEY BLOW 250K IN BUY INN LIKE IT IS NOTHING AND TOP OF THE TOP GO TILL MILLION N 2! -------------------------- IT CAN BE DEADLY BECAUSE 10 CENT GAMES POT CAN BLOW TILL 100 DOLLARS IN NO TIME. ------------------------ SO YOU HAVE TO START ROCK BOTTOM AND START CLIMBING UP!! ------------------------ AND HE ALSO SAID THAT HE BROUGHT ALL BOOKS WHILE WORKING AND ALSO PAID 25K TO GET COACHED BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED PLAYING TO MAKE MONEY IN VEGAS. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THAT NOW. HE WAS 19 SO IT WORKED OUT. -------------------------------- THERE ARE OTHER FIELDS: MUSIC, SPORTS ETC ETC. KEY IS IF YOU LIKE IT YOU MUST LATCH ON TO IT WHEN YOUNG SO YO HAVE TIME ON YOUR SIDE. ---------------------- OTHERWISE THIS WILL BE JUST MAX 100 DOLLAR HOBBY PER WEEK, IF YOU CAN SPARE THAT MATCH. BECAUSE YOU CAN BE DOWN 100 DOLLARS IN MINUTES. ----------------------- I NOTICED THAT!! -------------------------- I GOT ROYAL FLUSH IN BEGINNING PART OF TOURNAMENT IN THE VERY FIRST MONTY I TOUCHED POKER IN MY LIFE!!! IT DID NOT COME AT FINAL TABLE. AND I ALSO LOST TO ROYAL FLUSH AT THE FINAL TABLE IN 10 CENT BUY IN TOURNAMENT. THE PRIZE MONEY WAS 10 DOLLARS. I GOT 7.5 HE GOT 10. SO NO BIG DEAL. ------------------------------- TOURNAMENT MULTI-ENTRIES WILL HURT YOU WHEN YOU CANT GET A BREAK WITH GOOD CARDS AND ANOTHER SIDE IS YOU LOSE WITH GOOD CARDS. YOU GET AK,QQ,AJ,AA YOU ARE GONNA FOLD IF OPPONENT GOES ALL INN? IT IS HARD TO GET THEM TO START WITH. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE GONNA GO ALL INN. ----------------------- CASH GAMES IS ALSO SAME ONE OR TWO HOURS YOU RUN IN TO BAD BEATS YOU ARE DOWN 100 DOLLARS IN 10 CENTS/25 CENTS AND DOWN 1000 DOLLAR IN 2 DOLLAR/5 DOLLARS AND DOWN 10000 HOURS IN MERE 100 DOLLAR/200 DOLLAR BLINDS! ------------------------- YOU NEED TO HAVE MONEY COMING INN THIS CAN GET WORSE THAN STOCK MARKET DAY TRADING OR OPTION TRADING WHER EYOU CAN CONTRL RISK AND HAVE LOT OF OPTIONS. ---------------------------------------------- THE RISK SHOULD BE 1% OF YOUR SAVINGS: FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE SAVING 10000 DOLLARS IN USA PER YEAR AND BANK GAVE YOU 5%(WISHFUL THINKING). YOU RISK 500 DOLLAR PER ANNUM. MAKE IT 750 DOLLARS TO BE GENEROUS AKA 2 DOLLARS PER DAY. THATS IT. PLAY 24, 10 CENT TOURNAMENTS AND SEE IF YOU CAN WIN 10 PER DAY( AKA IN THE MONEY) TAKE IT FROM THERE. ANY JUMP WILL SET YOU BACK INSTANTLY!!! AND YOU WILL BE SLOWED DOWN BY 5 TIMES. ---------------------------- POKER IS NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN. THERE ARE OTHER FIELDS WHERE YOU CAN CRACK 6 FIG SALARIES FOR SAME INVESTMENT: DOCTORS, LAWYERS, STEM FIELD WHERE EVERYTHING IS FREE IN USA. --------------------------- SPORTS FREE IN USA, IF YOU CAN THROW THE BASE BALL AT 85 MPH YOU ARE INN AND THEY WILL DO THE REST 5 MILES PER HOUR. --------------------------- IN THE WHOLE WORLD USA IS THE ONLY PLACE ( UK IS SLEEPING TO MY CHAGRIN) WHERE YOU CAN GET AN OFFER YOU CANT REFUSE. NOT IN OTHER PLACES!!! ------------------------- SO ONUS IS ON YOU. MAD MONEY JIM CRAMER SAID I LOST 300 MIL OUT OF 400 MIL AND WALKED AWAY WITH 100 MIL BEFORE BUBBLE BURST AND THAT 100 MIL TOOK ME HERE. SOME GOT HOSED IN 2008 CRISIS AND NOW YOU SEE STOCK MARKET CANT BUY A DIP DESPITE WARS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHAT NOT. AND NATION BURIED IN DEBT( 33 TRIL N COUNTING) WHEN FINANCIAL CRISIS HIT USA DEBT WAS MERE 11 TRIL. ------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS STOCK MARKET RUN HAS DEFIED ALL ODDS AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW WORLD CAN HAVE DEBT AND STILL BE MERRY!! --------------------------------- POKER ALWAYS HAS BEEN HIGH STAKES. THAT LONGEST POKER RUN IN THAT THEATER IN PHEONIX BIRD CAGE( A SMALL DINGY THEATERE) HAD 1000 DOLLAR BUY INN IN THOSE DAYS ( MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THERE ARE OTHER GAMBLING AREAS EVEN IN CARDS: I NEED TO CHECK BACARAT OR CHINESE HOW MUCH THEY BET. --------------------- AND HORSE BETTING WHERE HONG KONG TURF CLUB HAVE NEARLY 20 BIL REVENUE. HK IS SMALLER THAN NYK OK? -------------------------------------- A CLUB MAKES MORE THAN LAS VEGAS. WELL HK IS MUCH BIGGER THAN VGAS. --------------------------------------------------- AND MACAU GAMBLING REVENUE IS TOUCHING 50 BIL BY 2026( 38 NOW) COMPARED TO 20 BIL LAS VEGAS. MACAU HAS ONLY 50K CAPACITY WITH MERE 200 HOTELS COMPARED TO LAS VEGAS 130K WITH NEARLY 400 HOTELS. ---------------------------------------- SO THE CHINESE ARE GOING BERSERK AND THEY ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. THE JAPANESE GOT OLD AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME. GERMANS LOVE GAMBLING TOO BUT NOT AT CHINESE LEVEL. -------------------------------------------- I WROTE A BOOK!!!

@@joeseddit errr, no. I think, based on my understanding of GTO poker, @king_has_no_clothskul8635 has it incorrect. The ranges are set by GTO--Each position has a range of hands that any player should fold/call/raise/reraise with to maximize EV. Therefore, depending on your opponent's position and their action you can assign a range of hands to them and play accordingly. A player's tendencies can cause you to shift them a bit, sure. But the base ranges themselves are set off the results of millions of simulations to find the optimal action for each hand at each position.

Morning!

Hello!

If your short stack thats the best option

Hi Shawn!

Luckily enough I'm not here to teach you English! 😅

You're welcome
