Isolation raise
-In position with one or two limpers
Medium pairs, suited connectors, suited aces, broadways etc
Don’t call. Raise.
-also raising big pairs and AK etc
-harder to bluff multiple players
-harder to win at showdown with more players
-more likely a hand like 88 gets out flopped multi-way
-every hand is better heads up

When SPR is close to 1 and we have the nut flush comparing jamming vs 75-90% pot bets. Some villains just are so tight and all the chips might be too much?


Jason Marsdon
Can you explain effective stack size to me

The lowest stack involved in the hand. If you have $1000 and your opponent has $250 then you are both playing a $250 stack. The other $750 in your stack is irrelevant.

Why does it matter? Hands that need implied odds. Even tho your stack may be huge if theirs is small then there may not being enough to justify implied odds

Preflop raise sizing. If a 3b will be for a large portion of the effective stack then shoving or folding becomes your only options.

John Trefly
Do you have a quick and dirty checklist or sequence to rapidly assess playing styles of your opponents? I have no trouble at all categorizing people I've played with dozens of times, but in a new venue, or facing new players, it would help to have a system.

The easiest and quickest tell on a player is to see one raise offsuit broadways or gappers from EP1 and 2

If I see someone raise QT off utg when the hand goes to showdown, I will now look to 3b them and try to play lots of hands with them heads up. Of course your position to their matters.

The other easy classification is someone who never raises preflop. Ever. You don’t need a label other than bad player. In fact we should start out labeling players and good or bad. That gets us up and running quick. Then over time more specific labels.

In today’s poker strategy episode I’m answering questions you sent in to me.

I know it's low limit so bluffs should be very limited but what questions should we be asking ourselves before trying a bluff on the turn or later?

Does this player ever fold turns or are they a calling stating that goes to the river with bottom pair?
Are they capped at having a very weak hand!
Can I get a fold cheaply enough to make it a profitable bet. If you bet half pot you need them to fold 1/3 of the time. 2/3 pot 40% folds. Full pot 50% folds. Etc.

Difference in deep stack and normal

Deep stacked poker played well invokes every aspect of poker. Value, calling odds, bluffs, tons of pressure and most importantly big mistakes that cost big.

If you only have 100bb and make an error for your stack it’s not that catastrophic. But if you are 600bb deep and make the same error it’s a crazy bad error.

Large Pocket pairs go down in value. Hands that can crack big pockets pairs of people who can’t fold go way up in value.

There is far too much involved in good deepstack play for me to cover in a an episode of the podcast

Tyler Westra
Knowing when to call it a day. Run bad etc. minimizing those drawdowns.

You should leave any time you are tilted and making bad decisions. Even if you have only lost one buy in.
I personally have a 3 buy in loss rule. But during bad downswings I may make it two buy ins. I’ll also play shorter sessions.
As soon as you have lost a couple sessions back to back you should be sharing notes on hands with another winning player. The more we lose the worse we play. We need independent eyes to make sure we aren’t now playing bad as well.
Take a break.

Today’s episode is to help you identify reasons why you aren’t improving at poker. Links to everything mentioned in the podcast is down below

Why you aren’t improving
1- still playing too many hands
2- not raising or 3b enough
3- slow playing
4- not folding when obviously beat
5- not taking notes on hands
6- not doing the work off table
7- watching and listening to great content but not applying it
8- getting bored
9- trying to get it all back/tilt
10 variance / run bad

Pros
Great games great action

Weather was amazing in August when it was 115 in Austin.

Today’s poker advice is on how to play suited connectors preflop and postflop. Links mentioned in the podcast are below ⬇️

Suited connector 10 commandments

1 - play them in games where it’s deep and vs players who will stack off with over pairs
2 - open raise them in games with tight players behind that will fold a fair amount to raises
3 - Play only in late position
4 - Mix raises and calls preflop based on player type, stack depth etc. Only Call if on the button. All other positions always raise or fold. Mix based on suits or how good you are running.
5 - Don’t raise if more than 3 limpers. It becomes too expensive. Either fold if not on button. Or call on button. When you do call be very aware of reverse implied odds of getting over flushed.
6 - Fold to 3b when OOP. Call in position if deep enough.
7 - Release when you only catch one pair
8 - Continue aggressively with draws that are massive
9 - bluff to win the pot when you can because of position
10 - never 4 bet with suited connectors except on rare occasions where you have some strong blocker like KQ suited. Even then it’s not advised except against the loosest aggro opponents and when your image is tight and invincible.
