10 thoughts on “3 Tips To EXPLOIT Low & Midstakes”

1. Feelin like trying to play GTO in small stakes u exploit more urself 😛
   Really enjoying content although.Wp

2. I have a higher frequency of limp/raises from SB vs aggressive players. They hate folding anyways, so I don't care about being balanced in these spots and show profit by doing it. Against tighter opponents I normally just raise or fold. Could lay traps vs specific stack sizes though. With BB antes being a normal thing in live poker these days, it actually makes the SB vs BB spots more interesting, as I would assume that BB is defending psychologically, which make players tend to play overly aggressive. Just food for thought.

3. Its so true – I started splitting my range bvb way too much and it hurt my results. I kept waiting for those limp/reraise spots to seem clever but they happened way too infrequently to make up for the loss of EV from RFI. I love this content – practical as opposed to just pretty. BTW, I'm going to have a hat embroidered with "Go ahead and go bananas".

4. Would definitely say a great exploit is cbetting super small on paired board and monotone flops vs weak opponents who under defend. E.g. not peeling backdoor straight and flush hands

5. Yeah emotional attachment to absolute hand strength is really an underrated concept. Thank you for this amazing content.

6. Also dont bother checking flop with top pair to "protect your check back range" because these lower stakes guys arent attacking light or with bluffs when you check back,no point inducing bluffs when they are weak as piss! I have often even bet flop check back turn to induce bluffs from hand with no SDV or bets from top pair/middle pair but the wimps just check most of the time. You miss out on value and just give them free cards to outdraw you.
   Of course if you play a specific guy that will attack check backs then its good to do from time to time;-)
   Value bet more and larger and fold more to their aggression (especially raises on trun or river)than GTO would advise

7. Why the example is for 50bb, highly unusual spot for me because most of the time ppl play 100bb deep?

8. thanks for your tips ben.

9. thank you Ben, would really appreciate if you could share 3 more tips for post flop later streets

10. 1) 0:44 Raise more from the small blind. When players deviate from GTO play exploitative. Raise with any A, any pair, every brodway, strong SC; limp everything else.
    2) 5:15 Don't bluff when your opponent has rather strong absolute hand strength e.g. 2 pairs+ on the river. V should be folding a lot more according to GTO as relative hand strength is not so much, but not a lot of middle-low stakes players understand that concept. Use that weakness to value bet your strong hands.
    3) 11:20 C-bet when you have the range & nut advantage and give your opponent a good reason to fold by using a bigger bet. Bet your value bets big as well as your opponent won't check raise you with weaker hands so often to do this job for you.
