    In a $1/$2 game, Hero raises to $10 on the button holding Kā™ ļøKā™¦ļø, and a less experienced player in the big blind calls with Qā™¦ļøJā¤ļø. The flop creates a $20 pot, with a board of Jā™ ļø9ā™£ļø2ā¤ļø2ā™¦ļø5ā¤ļø.

    Letā€™s look at four different betting scenarios to determine our optimal strategy for making the most money in the hand:

    1.In Scenario #1, Hero bets 33% of the pot on the flop, checks the turn, and bets 66% of the pot on the river. This yields a final pot of $53.80.
    2.Scenario #2 involves a 33% pot bet on the flop, followed by 66% bets on both the turn and river. This results in a final pot size of $125.20.
    3.In Scenario #3, Hero bets 50% on the flop, 66% on the turn, and 66% on the river, leading to a final pot of $169.
    4.Scenario #4 Hero decides to go big and bet 80% pot bets on the flop, turn, and river, resulting in a final pot size of $246.

    Comparing the outcomes:

    ā€¢Scenario #1: +$55
    ā€¢Scenario #2: +$125
    ā€¢Scenario #3: +$170
    ā€¢Scenario #4: +$246

    If the villain calling range is nearly inelastic, the probabilities of these scenarios are roughly equal. You will find that the really bad low stakes players donā€™t think about how big the bet is within reason. They either like their hand and are calling or they arenā€™t. Itā€™s binary.

    Now letā€™s look at how this affects our bottom line if they donā€™t always call all bets.

    If you compare the first lowest betting strategy with the last highest betting strategy, the latter makes us 4.5 times as much money. So even if our villains only call us down 1/4th of the time we make the same amount as betting small and getting called down 100% of the time. And if they even call us down 1/3 of the time now we are making more money than the smallest bet sizing getting called 100% of the time.

    This is most players biggest fear. We donā€™t want them to fold. But as you can see , even when getting more folds we are still making more money long term.

    Jason Radiso
    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 donā€™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.

    Ben Theriault
    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.

    Cason K
    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 itā€™s not that catastrophic. But if you are 600bb deep and make the same error itā€™s a crazy bad error.

    Large Pocket pairs go down in value. Hands that can crack big pockets pairs of people who canā€™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. Iā€™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 arenā€™t now playing bad as well.
    Take a break.

  • Todayā€™s poker advice is on how to play suited connectors preflop and postflop. Links mentioned in the podcast are below ā¬‡ļø

    Suited connector 10 commandments

    1 - play them in games where itā€™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 - Donā€™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 itā€™s not advised except against the loosest aggro opponents and when your image is tight and invincible.

  • Todayā€™s poker tip is the basics of playing suited connectors. Links mentioned in the podcast are below ā¬‡ļø

    Suited connector basics
    1. **Position Awareness**: Always try to play suited connectors in later positions, as it's important to have as much information as possible before making your move.

    2. **Understanding Pot Odds**: Be aware of the pot odds. Suited connectors have high implied odds, but if the cost to play isn't justified by the potential payout, consider folding. The deeper the effective stacks the better. 15 to 1 in position. 20 to 1 out of position.

    3. **Player Tendencies**: Consider the tendencies of your opponents. Suited connectors fare better against opponents who will pay you off with AA or TPTK when you hit your hand. The best players in the game can make folds and get away from hands. These are the type of players to play suited connectors against vs a raise.

    4. **Board Texture**: Post-flop, be aware of the board texture. Suited connectors are aiming for straights, flushes, or combo draws, so evaluate how well the board matches with these objectives. Donā€™t pile money in the pot because you flopped 3rd pair.

    5. **Post-flop Aggression**: Don't be overly aggressive post-flop if you miss. If you have the betting lead you can continuation bet favorable flops for your range. You can also barrel strong draws and combo draws. It's better to let the hand go if you don't flop big hands or draws or if the board is unfavorable.

    6. **Hand Reading**: Try to put your opponents on a range of hands. This will help you evaluate whether your flush or straight is likely to be the best hand if you hit. One of the pitfalls of suited connectors is getting over flushed. Being aggressive preflop, and post flop on favorable boards helps to get better flush draws to fold.

    7. **Balancing Your Range**: Include suited connectors in your range to balance it and not be overly predictable to your opponents. You donā€™t have to do this from every position. But in late positions they can be added into your raising range and will help keep all players guessing. Even the good ones.

    8. **Bluffing**: Use suited connectors as bluffing tools when the board texture allows for it and you have position. This allows you to win more often without hitting a straight or flush. For example, if you flop a straight or flush draw and are in a position when you had to call the flop instead of raise it, you can raise turns when middle or bottom card pairs. You will pick up some extra folds in this spot and you still have your straight and flush out when it doesnā€™t work. Make sure itā€™s a board where villain is capped at one pair.

  • Todayā€™s poker strategy is a primer on playing suited connectors in low stakes cash games. All links mentioned in the show are at the bottom of this ā¬‡ļø

    Introduction
    * What are suited connectors?
    Two cards in sequential order of the same suit. 7ā¤ļø6ā¤ļø etc
    * Why are suited connectors so important?
    They add deception to our preflop raising range, they have playability across multiple streets, they are easy to get away from when they miss, and they can stack opponents with great implied odds.
    * What are the different ways to play suited connectors?
    Primarily you should be aggressive with suited connectors from late positions. Avoid them from early position. You can also play them passively in certain situations preflop , mainly from the button.


    Playing suited connectors preflop
    * When should you play suited connectors preflop?
    You want to mainly play suited connectors from late position and for a raise. You can do this over one or two limpers and use your position to win postflop a lot when called.

    You can also use them to 3b later position pfr when they have a wider range. This allows you take it down preflop, flop big hands postflop , or use your position to win a portion of the time.
    * How should you play suited connectors against different types of opponents?
    Letā€™s assume you are on the button with 7ā¤ļø6ā¤ļø.
    Vs a raise by a nit you should just call if stacks are deep enough to reward you when you hit against their very condensed range of hands. Raising them preflop would be bad because they open so tight they are never folding and will likely be coming over the top.

    Vs a standard thinking player who has a more standard opening range you can 3b this spot when they are opening from layer positions at the table like LJ, HJ, CO etc

    Vs a LAG you can mix calls or 3b. Preferably 3b when stacks are deep and you can punish their wide range on many flops even when you miss.

    * What are some common mistakes to avoid when playing suited connectors preflop?
    Always calling and going super multi-way. You open yourself to reverse implied odds against better straights.

    Not 3b when the circumstances are right.

    Not raising with them preflop.

    Trying to play them too much from EP like utg and utg1 etc

    Playing suited connectors postflop
    * How should you play suited connectors after the flop?
    You should be aggressive with big draws especially when the board doesnā€™t favor your opponent. Many times you can just win when they cbet on bad boards for their range and take it down. On boards like this hands as weak as gutshots and top pair with back doors etc are good.

    In boards where your opponent has a nutted range it doesnā€™t make much sense to raise as you never win with a fold.

    Raise and playyour best draws very aggressively. Pairs and flush draws. Straight and flush draws. Etc.

    * What are some common mistakes to avoid when playing suited connectors postflop?
    Always calling with draws. Especially when multi-way. This allows better draws to come along too.

    Conclusion
    * Tips for improving your suited connector play
    Raise and 3b more preflop
    Be more aggressive postflop
    Be aggressive with strong draws
    Be aggressive on boards bad for Villian

    From Jeremiah Hawks
    Can you give advice on how to play AK? I am one of those people who hates this hand. It almost never hits and I feel like I just lose money playing it.
    1- AK is a premium hand. It is the nut no pair. It removes half the combinations of AA and KK.
    2- Play it aggressively. Always open raise and 3b preflop. You want to be heads up. 3 ways at worst.
    3- Continuation bet a wide variety of ā€œsafeā€ flops. Big small small unconnected. Medium small small unconnected. And big draws like gutshot to broadway. Nut flush draws. Overs with the backdoor nut flush draw.
    4- Keep barreling turn when you hit. When you pick up a card that gives you more outs . Or when a card hits that is in your range.

    Most hands are not pairs. Your opponent will miss the flop most of the time. You need to pick up your fair share of the flops when you donā€™t hit your A or K. Odds are your A high is still the best hand. Playing AK and only hoping you get top pair on the flop is the wrong way to play this hand.

    Feels like a home game a lot of the time

    Cons
    Pricy food

    Difficult to get a bigger game going sometimes. They have some rule about having to fill all the empty 1/2 seats to be able to start the bigger games (varies by floor)

    This is my home room and although I travel I lot I spend about half the year playing here. Had an issue one time and poker manager called me at home to talk about it. Wonā€™t find that most anywhere.

    Itā€™s a dog track built in the 1950s or so. So not the most modern. But itā€™s very friendly. Great action. Professional staff. Good dealers on average.

    I was crushed here but I know as preflop caller I have all the 6x hands and he doesnā€™t. So I think if I shove here he has to fold lots of his one pair hands.

  • Todays poker strategy podcast will focus on playing two pair Vs playing sets and the differences in specific spots.

    The following analysis assumes that you know the player you are in the hand with and they always have the flush. If itā€™s a player that can bluff a 3 suit turn then there is much more involved. But all too often at low stakes itā€™s just rarely a player bluffing when the turn brings the flush.

    When you have a set vs two pair on the turn which brings in a flush, and itā€™s very clear your opponent has a flush, how good of shape are you in?
    22% with a set
    9% two pair

    If itā€™s an all in and the pot isnā€™t laying you 4 to 1 with your set or 9 to 1 with your two pair then itā€™s a fold.

    And this is the biggest mistake I see at low stakes. Players calling with the two pair because ā€œI can still get a full houseā€ while being oblivious to the pot odds.

    For this reason itā€™s safe to say to just always fold two pair hands on the turn vs what is an obvious flush.

    We can continue with sets though.

    If you have money behind then you can call with your set getting 3 to 1 as long as you feel that you can get one more bet of that size or more on the river when you boat up with set.

    With a two pair hand itā€™s much more dire. Getting 3 to 1 as an example your need to have 5 more bets of that size you are calling left behind and know your opponent will pay when you hit.

    For simplicity sake, the two pairs are just always folds. So much so you can just assume it. For sets you can spend the time doing the math and evaluating.
