Today's free, public facing episode of 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,280 the podcast is going to be reviewing a hand history sent in to me by 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,719 a listener of the podcast. Today's hand was submitted to me by Mark, 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,920 who is playing a one to three game in South Florida. He did not 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,679 tell me which room that he was playing in, only that it was a 10 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:47,719 South Florida room and one to my evaluation of a hand that he played. 11 00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:54,039 So we're gonna have a theme for today's episode, and I think it's very 12 00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:59,320 important that probably a lot of people pay its close attention to today's theme as 13 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:02,719 well as the hand history. And the reason I say I think it's important 14 00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:07,400 is because I get so many messages from you guys every week with hands, 15 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:12,719 and I see people doing these type things all the time and they're confused as 16 00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:19,000 to why it's not correct and the reason that it's not correct. But more 17 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,519 importantly, The reason people are confused about why it's not correct is because they 18 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:33,920 spend a lot of time watching a lot of social media poker gurus giving instructions, 19 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,599 hand histories, examples of optimum play and bringing out range charts and these 20 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:47,799 type things. And these gurus, who I don't have anything against them, 21 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,799 they're all all of them probably are way better poker players than me. I'll 22 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:53,120 just admit it, Like, I don't have any ego in this game. 23 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,799 I just don't. Like I'm just the person that beats one, two and 24 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,280 one three. I can beat two to five as well. I've also have 25 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,040 a winning record in five ten, but as the stakes go up, I 26 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:13,039 play less of it. So I'm perfectly fine being who I am in the 27 00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,159 game and knowing what I know in the game, and so what I see 28 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,840 out there is so much in this hand history we're going to go over today. 29 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,080 It's just a perfect example of it. So I had to make an 30 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,280 episode of the podcast for you guys. You've got to learn to beat the 31 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,840 games that you play. That's what you got to do. That's what that's 32 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,960 why I created this podcast. Out four years ago, I was looking at 33 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,439 a video online of somebody that I follow, and I follow a lot of 34 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,479 poker creators online, and I'm like, you know what, there isn't really 35 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,039 anybody out here helping people beat one to no limit. They just aren't like 36 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:47,919 they're telling them things. They're trying to give them all these concepts. It's 37 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,479 hard to wrap their heads around when if they just had the average one twoerladers, 38 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,039 I had somebody to give them some simple concepts, some basic concepts that 39 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,280 they could implement quickly and nearly mistake free and just instantly go from loser to 40 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:06,759 break even to winter. That's what is needed for the one two player. 41 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,560 And people are giving them these hard concepts that sure, it makes you a 42 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,039 better poker player to understand these complicated concepts, but it doesn't get you to 43 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,240 beat one two very fast, and in fact, it convoluts your efforts because 44 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:24,599 it's a case of try hard, you try harden. You got all these 45 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,039 just these hard, intricate things you're trying to play, and you still haven't 46 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,360 learned how to just value the best hand and fold and beaten right right. 47 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,520 You need to master that first. It's just so many things you need to 48 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,680 master first. So there's so much stuff out there and it's teaching you how 49 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,360 to beat games you're not playing it, and they also giving you advice that 50 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,319 you're not ready for yet. And I just I just see this so much 51 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:53,080 and so uh all these year this, four years later, I still see 52 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,560 hand histories that justify what I do with the Pot and it's why I love 53 00:03:55,639 --> 00:04:00,680 doing it. I love doing it more now that I'm it's like stressful. 54 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,199 And hey, I got to say, the reviews are in right now. 55 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,919 Overwhelmingly people are thankful that we went to the one free public episode a month 56 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,879 and the other three episodes being behind a fight allar pilewall, Like, I've 57 00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:15,800 gotten so many messages about God, the pot is so much better now, 58 00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:23,480 thank you. So you know, you learn as you go, but I 59 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,399 still see it. There's a need for it. So learning things like being 60 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,800 balanced, for sure, can help you in the game and help you understand 61 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,399 the game. But just let me tell you low Stake's Poker and making max 62 00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:40,120 profits at low Steak Poker, it boils down to exploiting the massive mistakes your 63 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,000 average one two player makes and then playing correctly versus their mostly face up play. 64 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,560 And that's what it boils down to. It It's not a lot more 65 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,480 complicated to that. Now, the longer you play, the more experience you 66 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,319 get, the more you learn how to implement other strategies. You can hinch 67 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,240 that win rate higher and hire and hire. But just to get into winner, 68 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,639 we need to understand this basic concept. So we're gonna go through Mark's 69 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,759 hand. This one three game in South Florida. They're four hundred and fifty 70 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,279 dollars effective. And Mark has ah jack off suit in the cutoff, so 71 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,399 he says there's a limper, and then he says, a villain makes it 72 00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:23,120 fifteen. So look, there's some nuance here. If it was an under 73 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,079 the gun limper and an under the gun one player made it fifteen, that's 74 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,480 way different than if Lowjack limped and hijack made it fifteen and you're in the 75 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,079 cutoff with as Jack. Like, those are two pretty different scenarios. So 76 00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:45,839 I did reply to Mark and wait for an answer to that, but ultimately 77 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,800 I had to do this podcast. I got to get it recorded and get 78 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,199 it scheduled. I got things to do, and he didn't get back on 79 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,879 me in time. So we don't know. I'm gonna assume it wasn't worst 80 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,360 case scenario, right, I'm not going to assume that it was the tightest 81 00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,759 of ranges, which would be an under the gun limper and an under the 82 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,399 gun one raiser. We'll just assume that. So there's a limper, Villain 83 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,720 makes it fifteen, and now Hero has ace jack off and the cutoff, 84 00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:15,319 and Hero just calls to fifteen dollars raise. So I'm not gonna spend a 85 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,079 lot of time on this, but I do think mostly you just want to 86 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000 be raising here, like you don't want button to come in behind you so 87 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,879 that you lose your position. You don't have a great hand, and if 88 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,879 you anytime, you can disguise the strength of your hand. Sometimes you just 89 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,560 get folds pre which is always a benefit of three betting. You also want 90 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,319 that limper to fold, like it's a win. We get that limper to 91 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,319 fold, and if villain calls, will get heads up. I mean, 92 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,360 there's just a lot of reasons to raise the ah jack here. You know, 93 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360 I'm not gonna lie and say calling is the worst thing ever. You 94 00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:54,079 know, ah jack is a pretty bad quote unquote premium hand. But I 95 00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:57,720 mean I'm usually just raising this here for the reasons that I pointed out. 96 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,839 Anyway, that's not really where things go. The rails in his hands. 97 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,720 So I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on that part of it. 98 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:05,360 Nevertheless, he wrote calls and then one of the things we don't love, 99 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,399 uh, the the under the gun. I don't know if sundy gun or 100 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,240 not. Whoever the first person in the limp was. They call as well. 101 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:16,839 So we have a forty five dollars pot, and now the flop comes 102 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:25,399 King ten six rainbow. King takes King tick, can't talk King ten six 103 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:32,040 rainbow. The early limper checks the villain who raised pre flop. Now BET's 104 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:38,079 forty into a forty five dollars pot. That's forty into a forty five dollars 105 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:45,399 pot. Our hero with ace jack on King ten six calls the forty dollars 106 00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:50,399 bet, and the limper folds and then Mark says this, I thought I 107 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,639 could stack him if I hit my gutter and my ace might all all might 108 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,199 be good as well. That's why I called well. I mean, first 109 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,720 of all, you know a raising range on a King ten sixth board. 110 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,839 And when they bet pot, I mean it basically bet and pot. They've 111 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:16,439 been forty to forty five. I mean, it's just screams strength. He 112 00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:20,959 still has aces, he has as king, he has king Queen has intense 113 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:26,519 suited. I assume he has pocket tens. Uh probably doesn't bet this big 114 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,959 with pocket jacks or pocket queens, but I mean he's betting big. It's 115 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,279 continuing to tell the story, like, you aren't that crazy deep to try 116 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,679 to be looking at imply it odds to peel off one and try to bank 117 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,039 a turn and stack somebody. I mean, I don't see. I just 118 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,080 don't like any of these things. Like if you were gonna make a play 119 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,279 here, I mean I don't mean suggest you should, but if you're gonna 120 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:56,120 make a play at this pot, I mean, you know, a one 121 00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,240 and done kind of play, which is kinder to me what calling the flop 122 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,279 is. It's a one in, right, you're calling you're hoping to bink 123 00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,480 Broadway and stack them on the turn, So it's a one and done call. 124 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,799 I see a lot of people do this. I do it sometimes as 125 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:13,279 well, but for much cheaper Like not when villain bets forty into forty five. 126 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,159 No, but if they bet like fifteen into forty five and we're really 127 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,279 deep, yeah, I might peel one off and try to bink Broadway on 128 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,200 the turn. I mean I also raise sometimes well when they bet so big, 129 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,799 man, it's just you know, any ideas of raising or something like 130 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,879 that is kind of out of the question because of the size of their bet. 131 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,919 I think calling is just really horrible because of the size of the bet 132 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,480 and the stack sizes that are left. I mean, it's just I just 133 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:46,440 fold here. Uh. Nevertheless, Hero calls and as I mentioned before that 134 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,120 limper folds. So now our head's up to a turn. It's one hundred 135 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,840 and twenty five dollars plot one hundred and twenty five dollars plot. Flot was 136 00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:58,200 King ten six rainbow, and now we get a six on the turn. 137 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,759 So the boar is King ten six six, King ten sixty six, one 138 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,240 hundred and twenty five dollars pot. Villain now leads for one hundred one hundred 139 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:20,120 into one twenty five. Hero shoves villain, snapcalls, and the hero tables 140 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:26,320 pocket tens for a set of tens, and the heroes drawing dead like even 141 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:35,960 Broadways, no good villain just has a full house. Mark says I was 142 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,559 crushed here. But I know, as pre flop caller, I have all 143 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,960 these six x hands and he doesn't. So I think if I shove here, 144 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,879 he has to fold lots of his one pair hands. Thanks for looking 145 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:56,799 at this hand. You can use it on the podcast. So I see 146 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,600 a lot a lot of videos out there and listen to not a lot of 147 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:07,279 podcasts, but I have listened episodes of the podcast where people talk about this 148 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,080 concept of when you're let's say you're in the big blind and you defend right 149 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:20,440 and you get to go a little bit wild on a ten five five board 150 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,639 because you know, you're a villain has a lot of ace king, a 151 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,320 king, ace queen, queen king type hands that missed. They don't have 152 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,200 a lot of five x, and you have all the five X. You 153 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080 also have all the ten x and they can't have it, and so you 154 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,080 get to like, don't lead is one example we'll see advocated for and sometimes 155 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,159 you know, so you see these things talked about where hero can have all 156 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,000 of the you know whatever five x four x, six x seven x, 157 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,759 you know, hero can have all that in villain can't. So that is 158 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,480 a legitimate thing in the right spot, the right set of circumstances. But 159 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,879 what's happened here, and this is what I talked about at the beginning of 160 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:07,519 the podcast. You've taken these advanced principles, these things that you've heard talked 161 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,919 about, or you've seen poker gurus with you tube channels talk about it. 162 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:16,399 And I'm by no means saying that the YouTube gurus or the podcast gurus that 163 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,279 you've heard were wrong. They were probably one hundred percent right in their discussion 164 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,279 of it. It's just that your understanding of it and your application of it 165 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,200 was wrong. Because why why is it wrong? It's because we get bored, 166 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,679 man, we get bored. That's just the number one reason Live Hokre 167 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,720 is so profitable. People get bored, and so you want to figure out 168 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:37,519 ways to win that don't involve having the best hand, and so you get 169 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,799 a little adventurous with it, and you hear about this new toy and some 170 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,039 you know, this is what it becomes. This I have all the six 171 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:48,039 X and they don't toy, right, So it's a new toy we got. 172 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:52,440 We just learned about it, and so now we're going to go implement 173 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,279 it. And we misunderstand the concept, then we misapply the concept, and 174 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,799 so that's what's happened here, Mark. So I mean I don't think I 175 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,840 need say a ton about this hand, but the things that you missed in 176 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:09,639 this hand, like you became so focused on stacking your opponent hitting a hand 177 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:15,080 then bluffing when you probably have more than them, that you just missed a 178 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,679 lot of things. And I'm gonna go through the things that you missed, 179 00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:22,879 so this should help you in the future pre flops. I don't know positions 180 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:26,600 a lot or anything. I mean, I can't super narrows range down right, 181 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,440 but we can say obviously has Andy likes, and it does include everything 182 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,279 like if he doesn't get three bet and have to make a decision, then 183 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,200 a RFI in hand from any position really, but especially something that's ahead of 184 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,960 cutoff, so we know it was ahead of cutoff, so it's you know, 185 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,960 earlier middle position. It contains all the pocket aces, pocket, King's 186 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,360 pocket, Queen's pocket, Jack's pocket, Ten's ace, King Ace, Queen 187 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,159 ace Jack, King, Queen, Queen Jack suited, you know King ten 188 00:13:54,279 --> 00:14:01,759 suited. I mean it's just on this king get six board. Villain has 189 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,960 all of those monsters. He has pocket kings, he has pocket tens. 190 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,480 Depending on the position he was in when he raised, he could also have 191 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:15,799 pocket sixes some small amount. We won't focus on that, but it's certainly 192 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,120 as possible, if probably more possible if he was in the hijack than if 193 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,320 he was in you know, under the one one. But nevertheless King ten 194 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,279 for top two that exists as well, pocket aces. I mean, he's 195 00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:30,240 just all these monster hands. That's the first thing we have to understand. 196 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:39,120 Second thing you have to understand is villain bet basically pot like. He's telling 197 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,720 you I raised with a strong hand, and now on this King ten sixth 198 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,759 board, I like it. I have a good hand. He's telling you 199 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,720 very loudly and very clearly he has a good hand. The other thing to 200 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,720 note is it's a rainbow board. So what draws exist, right? I 201 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,960 mean queen Jack comes to mind for him to bet big with a big draw, 202 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,679 there's still big draws that exist. There's just the open enders with the 203 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:09,480 queen jack and you have one of the jacks, so provided you know, 204 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,559 again, we don't know his position, so this makes it a little bit 205 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,240 more difficult. In near and down his hand was the only raised with queen 206 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,679 jack suit or is he raising with queen jack? Off? But I'm assuming 207 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,799 since you're cut off and you know you didn't mention he raised right ahead of 208 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,200 you. I mean, we'll just assume he was earlier in the seating. 209 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,679 So, I mean, I just think queen Jack off. We removed some 210 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,879 of it. That leaves Queen Jack Suita. Do you have one of the 211 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,360 jacks that leaves three combos of that? I mean, if you're trying to 212 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:41,480 be optimistic here, I mean, I don't know. It's just you just 213 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,039 don't have much of a hand. So that's the first thing on the flop. 214 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Right, But you called you had a game plan. I'll give you 215 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000 that. You didn't say this specifically, but my assumption is is this was 216 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,679 a one off call. You were calling for one Street, try to bank 217 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,440 Broadway and stack them. I guess I don't know. I could be wrong 218 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,039 about that. Nevertheless, now there's one hundred and twenty five in the pot, 219 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,759 and the bottom card pairs, and now villain comes out and bets one 220 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,960 hundred into one hundred and twenty five. So it's not quiet pot, but 221 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,960 it's it's a massive bet, right, It's a massive bet, and he's 222 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,000 setting up a river shove. This is clearly obvious. It's just he's obviously 223 00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,559 setting up a rivershove. He's betting one hundred and hundred twenty five. It's 224 00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:25,759 going to make a really easy buttery river shove, which is another thing you 225 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:30,759 missed. I just don't you weren't paying attention to the bet sizing. We 226 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:34,080 now have two bet sizes that tell us Villain probably isn't full of it, 227 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,080 probably likes his hand. The other thing that I would point out is you 228 00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,879 say, hey, I can he can't really have much six X, and 229 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,960 I can have some six X, right, And I'm assuming you mean six 230 00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:49,799 ' five suited, seven to six suited and maybe some ace six suited, 231 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:56,480 I guess. So yeah, if you believe that, and for sure I 232 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:02,240 can go with you on that. Well, Villain understands too. And Villain 233 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:06,720 now BET's big again, Like Villain doesn't. He's not all that concern that 234 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:10,079 you could have a six You know, he didn't go with a half pot 235 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,440 sizing. He didn't go with forty percent pot sizing or whatever. I mean. 236 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,279 He goes big. It's like, what is it, like eighty eighty 237 00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:18,640 percent pot or something? Shu, what is it? One hundred and one 238 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:26,759 hundred and twenty five. So now when you go into this, you know 239 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:29,640 it's just new toy that you've seen. It's I likened it to a toy 240 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,400 we've we've learned a new thing. It's I gonna have the six so I 241 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,200 get to do some things here. Well, I mean you just don't. 242 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,359 And I think I think missing the obvious things here h caused us to try 243 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:47,359 to do some kind of weird wonky thing when it just wasn't required. And 244 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,160 so if we go back with this concept that I talked about from the beginning 245 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,359 of the podcast, where uh, one, you need to learn to beat 246 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:59,079 the games you play, like, yeah, sure you could probably still use 247 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,160 this concept. I have all the six xs and they don't. If you 248 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,880 were using it correctly and it was correct bet sizing, proper configuration or whatever, 249 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,480 you could probably still implement it at one too. I'm not saying it 250 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,359 couldn't be implemented at one too, but for sure it would need to be 251 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,079 implemented in the right set of circumstances. So that's number one and in the 252 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:23,920 right way. But number two, we go back to worrying about being balanced. 253 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:30,559 There's things like that versus just playing low stakes for max profits, which 254 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,599 means one exploiting the massive mistakes your opponents make that's part of it. And 255 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,759 number two playing correctly versus their mostly face up play. And this is about 256 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:44,160 as face up as it gets. Your opponent's telling you, like, the 257 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,640 worst hand they have here is Ace King. That's just the worst hand they 258 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,400 ever have. Here's Ace King. I mean maybe king queen sometimes, but 259 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,680 basically there's like I got Ace King. And at no point in any any 260 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,960 part of this runout do I envision Ace King ever folding and when that's the 261 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,519 worst hand they have. Best hand they have pocket kings, they can have 262 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,000 pocket tens. They can have so, you know, sets on the flop, 263 00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:14,640 full houses, on the turn, king ten they ain't folding, King 264 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,440 can either not folding top two and then obviously they have pocket aces, you 265 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,480 know, so the worst one pair of hand they have here is a's king 266 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:29,359 or a pair of kings. Second worst and one pair of hand they have 267 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,680 her pocket aces. You're just not farewell against any of that. And they 268 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,119 are playing their hand in such a face up way that they're telling you I 269 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:40,319 have one of these hands and I'm trying to get paid and you obliged. 270 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:45,799 So what can we learn from this? Learn to beat the games you play 271 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:52,799 this highly nuanced stuff that you see talked about because look, I've said this 272 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:53,920 before, and I don't say it in a jaded way. I don't say 273 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,279 it in a hateful way or a negative way. But these guys that run 274 00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:03,319 these really big training side or they'd run these really expensive coaching things, they're 275 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,720 highly incentivized for you to feel confused. The more confused you feel about things, 276 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,440 the more you need them. And so they will tell you things that 277 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:21,839 are correct but nuanced. They'll tell you things that are correct but are tertiary. 278 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,599 They're like only outside fringes. It's not what mostly happens. You know, 279 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,599 the amount of times you're playing poker when this whole concept if I have 280 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,160 all the six x and they don't will happen. It's not that much of 281 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,319 the time. It's a very tiny percentage of the time that it ever comes 282 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,640 into player would come under player, you'd try to execute it. What mostly 283 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,960 comes into play is just good fundamental pre flop ranges, understanding when to raise 284 00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:51,200 win to three bet, when to four bet sizing, understanding bet sizings on 285 00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,519 flop turns and rivers, and understanding the value of your hand, the incent 286 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:57,160 of your hand, and your opponent's hand range. Fur'st your exact hand mostly. 287 00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:02,119 That's another thing I see people get where they mess up some when they're 288 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,160 first trying to be And again I'm not, by no means saying you shouldn't 289 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,559 be playing your range versus their range because you want to keep getting better, 290 00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:11,559 that's sure what you got to do. You know, the step before that 291 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,880 is playing your hand versus their range. Right, This is what I struggle 292 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,119 with with people that join my Patreon or even some of the people that I've 293 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,240 worked in one on one when we start early talking about hands and stuff, 294 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000 where I'm not even trying to get them to play range versus range. I'm 295 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:30,920 just trying to get them to where they start trying to play their hand versus 296 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,599 their opponent's range, which I think is the easiest implementation of that, and 297 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,920 I think works fine at those stakes. Don't knock me and hate me for 298 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:44,960 being one of these dumb poker you know, mentors, you're just very unsophisticated. 299 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,240 I mean maybe, but I do not understand the steps that you have 300 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,599 to take to go from a losing one player to a winning one player. 301 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,039 And I do understand the easiest way to get there, And I know one 302 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,680 of the steps you need to take is when you start, when you make 303 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,799 the leap from putting your opponent on ace king all the time, which is 304 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,519 what most low stakes players do, and you're trying to play your hand versus 305 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:08,279 king. I mean, that's just I'm telling you that's eighty percent of low 306 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,519 stakes players. They're putting their opponents on as king. Although when you move 307 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:17,559 from that to trying to play your hand versus what their range at hands could 308 00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:21,599 be, that's a big leap for most one to two players, and then 309 00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:23,640 it's a bigger leap still to get them to understand that we're playing our range 310 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,920 versus their range. So I understand all that, and when I'm in tougher 311 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,880 games against better players, I for sure implement that a ton. I guess 312 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,519 I implement it all the time when it's applicable, But mostly I am just 313 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:41,119 trying to maximum maximumly exploit players and a pool that make huge mistakes all the 314 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,839 time. They just send it in in just the worst set of circumstances all 315 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,680 the time. And then players who also mostly just play their hands head face 316 00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:53,799 up like they like. This is a perfect example. This guy played his 317 00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:56,039 hand as face up as you can play a hand. He's had a big 318 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,599 hand. He spent the hell out of it, and no amount of fancy 319 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:03,599 play would get us out of this. All right, guys, I hope 320 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:08,160 that you've enjoyed this episode of the podcast I mentioned earlier. The other three 321 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,240 episodes of the podcast to come out during the month are reserved for fans of 322 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,960 the pod, which is a mere five dollars a month. You can also 323 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,440 get a discount on that if you just want to pay annually for it. 324 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000 I can't tell you the reviews that have come in. I've been phenomenal so 325 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:26,079 far. Just last a week a long, I got so many private messages 326 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,319 from people who were already fans of the pod, and then people who have 327 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,039 recently become fans of the podcast. They don't want to miss an episode, 328 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,240 just going on and on about you should have just always done like, there's 329 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,079 no ad at the front, you're not talking about Patreon. You're straight into 330 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,759 the content. It's clear and concise. There's nothing in there anywhere except it's 331 00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:49,960 just straight to the point. Bam bam, Thank you, ma'am. And 332 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,079 then Jeremy who I actually got a message from Jeremy today who was talking about, 333 00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,640 Wow, I didn't realize that you had started uploading the podcast at the 334 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,480 public here is with the ads and stuff. I didn't realize that I would 335 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,519 also get that over on the from the Patreon feed without the ads and stuff. 336 00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:11,720 So anyway, he was going on about how great it was. So 337 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:15,640 I mean, it's been better for me. It's taking a lot of load 338 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,680 off me. Like I was getting so many messages every week because we put 339 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,519 out episode of the pod every week, you know, haters to the side, 340 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,279 which that existed, and that was a problem. And I'll be the 341 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:26,640 first tom that I probably didn't handle it well. But beyond that, I 342 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,599 actually got so much messages. I'm a one man show and I don't have 343 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,880 assistance and stuff handling stuff like a lot of these other guys do. It's 344 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,920 just me, and it was it was just a lot. Look, you 345 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,160 can still message me stuff by all means, just like Mark, thank you 346 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,319 Mark for this and history. I appreciate it. So that's for the other 347 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:49,039 thing I'd like to say, is you any podcasting app you use as most 348 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:52,920 of them, I can't say all, but most of them. When you 349 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,160 when you become a fan of the pod, you'll get your own little feed 350 00:24:56,559 --> 00:25:00,519 link, and most all podcasting apps you can add a custom feed and just 351 00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,039 click it in there and bam, it'll come through your app just like you 352 00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,920 get it. Now, what I wasn't sure about until this most recent week, 353 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:11,640 I did a little research on it. It does work for Spotify too. 354 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,160 Now I've had some of you guys in the past ask me, Hey, 355 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,720 I can't you know I can't get your custom Patreon version of the pod 356 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,440 to come through my I can't. Now I can't program my Spotify to do 357 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,440 it. Well, good news you can. I didn't know about it. 358 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,160 I did a little research. I have now activated the private Patreon version of 359 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,079 the podcast to where it will show up on Spotify. So as I understand 360 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,559 it, and this is my best understanding now is you should be able to 361 00:25:41,559 --> 00:25:44,759 find it on Spotify and you'll see Low Limit Cash Games Pod will be over 362 00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:48,880 there, but you should also see patren Low Limit Cash Games Pod and if 363 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,079 you click it, it should take you to a form where you can link 364 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,759 your Patreon account if you're if you are a fan of the pod, or 365 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,799 anybody that's a member of my patreon, you should be able to link the 366 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:06,799 two accounts together and bam, the Patreon only episode we'll show we'll start showing 367 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,519 up in your Spotify feed. So that's something I learned this week. Anyway, 368 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,519 we got football on training over there. It's just twenty five dollars a 369 00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:15,079 month. It's half what anybody else charges, and it's only for one, 370 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240 two and one three. Like, I don't get off into the of this 371 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,160 other kind of stuff. And of course I work one on one with a 372 00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:25,960 handful of people. As of the time we recording this, I don't have 373 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,480 any of those. I hope you've enjoyed this episode. I hope you're enjoying 374 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,720 the new format. A big heartfelt debt of gratitude to everybody that's come over 375 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,160 and said, hey, what you do is so valuable to me. For 376 00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:42,480 sure, I'll give you five dollars a month and it's and all the positive 377 00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:47,039 feedback, it's just meant a lot. It's like changed my frame of mind. 378 00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,720 It's just changed my enthusiasm level for the pod. And I'm looking forward 379 00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,839 to a great twenty twenty four with this episode of the podcast.
