  1. Wow I wish you made this video 3 years ago lol great content, alot of dense information in a short, precise style. Thanks so much Johnathon!

  2. The creators of these charts insist on using colors that are impossible to differentiate for us poor colorblind guys. Why is that?
    Red/green green/brown
    The call/fold is all one color for me!

  3. hi jonathan, thanks for great work. this raise first in chart is a bit different than the one in pokercoaching.com, for example utg we raise only a5s and a9s+ in the website chart, here we raise almost all suited aces. this is more updated?

  6. I always think one scenario, which you don't mention, for betting for protection is when you are on a draw, but know if you just check your opponent will likely put in a big bet, forcing you to fold, so you bet say third pot hoping your opponent will just call, so you can see the next card more cheaply in the hope of making your hand. Your opponent may know he has the best hand, but wants you to keep betting into him, so he just calls, and may even check on the turn if he thinks you may bet again, allowing you to see the river cheaply too.

  7. Useful info for beginners. The only thing I disagree with is never open limping. I agree limping usually isn’t the correct strategy, but there are instances when it is. If you are in early position preflop and have a playable, yet not premium starting hand, limping is often a good idea in that spot for pot control, and minimal investment should there be an open and a 3 bet… possibly even a 4 bet behind. Then it’s an easy fold with it only costing you a BB for limping in early position. The other time I would suggest it is if you have a premium starting hand in early position, and you are at a table where players are playing very aggressive and you are pretty certain there will be some raising behind. Then you can come over the top to thin the filed and protect your equity. The only down side in that situation is you will be playing the hand out of position post flop, so I would only recommend this strategy for more skilled players. Playing your hand properly preflop is the most important thing you can do, IMO. The more hands you’re up against post flop, the more dangerous it becomes even if you make a very strong hand, because with a lot of other players also in the hand, the odds are more likely that someone is still redrawing to an even bigger hand, which makes pot control much more difficult, as you are then almost forced into playing a bigger pot to protect your equity.

  8. I always thought that 3bet/4bet are related to the size or the raise 😀 😀 😀

    Love the contents. Great vids and thanks for them 🙂

  9. My results definitely improved a lot when I learned that A-low offsuit has VERY limited playability. I only play them now in two situations:
    1) Very good preflop odds (in the blinds, no big raisers), looking to pair both cards or hit a set with my low card.
    2) Looking to exploit a weak player when I can isolate them and have a solid live read on their range.
    Otherwise, they are generally negative-value hole cards, usually dominated in any pot worth fighting over, resulting in big losses and small wins.

  10. so when you say adjust to your opponents does that mean play only premium hands in dollar buy ins? lol
