I call AQ the "Parking Lot Hand". If you go all in with AQ in a tournament, you will be in the parking lot, heading home afterwards. 👍👊💯

You have been blessed with an ability to explain things in a very clear and cogent manner. Keep up the great work, sir!

very in depth strategy on how to roll different player types. watched several of these videos and they are excellent

[nitthegrit]

To be honest, most true nits I run into don't 3bet their monster hands, they just flat call behind you. But just the fact that they call your raise is the equivalent of anyone else 3betting you, so you know just from their calling you that they have a monster. So unless I get a K, J, 10 rainbow flop, I'm not putting another dime into the pot with AQ offsuit in this scenario.

You forgot the single most important player type...
The 'Lucky bastard'
🤔

[HWCWTD]

This is a great video. Solid, foundational advice.

[joshuaburklund]

I constantly have to change playstyles new people always joining, people stop calling so increase range, loosing patience. Ect.

[mikefitz]

I can’t believe how you much you can steal from the nits. They’re very unlikely to pay you off but you can steal those blinds all day!

[stansmith]

At a live table at a casino, do you recommend just folding most hands at first until you figure out the player types your up against?

[moose]

Good stuff, Nathan. I intend to put your advice into practice next time I visit Mohegan Sun Connecticut. Wish me luck!

[TimStJohn-zdfx]

DOPE! Good stuff, Nathan!

I normally narrow it down to two, or three hands opponents can have / are likely to have. Hopefully narrow to two. I like your approach and will absolutely take the advice.

[sheldonvandal]

I am studying your videos. But the best is listening to your videos while I play poker! You are like Yoda. Are you Yoda? kidding aside, thank you so much for your lessons!

[pokerxfactor]

Great video ... we are featuring it in the pxf newsletter this week. TY

[delai]

Hello Nathan, how about if we have JJ against TAG, should we 4 bet?

[dwkmclk]

Could you give us the VPIP, PR and 3bet numbers for those 5 type of players, please?!

[honestlynate]

I'd like to hear your opinion on people who sit down and like to talk about the cards they just had last hand almost every hand. They feel obligated to tell you what cards they had and sometimes look frustrated when they ask you if you had the cards they thought you had and you don't tell them. The best information I get at the poker table is usually within the first hour and it's given by the people who just can't stop telling us the cards they're folding or playing and why

[thomaslucart]

Are hand ranges specific to the person or to the position or both?

[denniskrook]

Nice video/love your work. . Against a TAG i would also fold most of the time (this is also the GTO way from LJ versus BTN reraise). From HJ we start mixing in 4bets and calls but still think that most smale stake TAGs bluff to less in this situation and a fold is still fine

[stevegeddes]

Hi from “Bonnie Scotland Nathan, love your tuition video’s absolutely superb for a novice like me who has only really played the odd pub/home game with friends, I recently started to play again in a local Friday night league which I did well enough to then qualify for the regionals and managed to do well enough to now qualify for the nationals with the end goal a free plane ticket to Vegas and paid £10k seat!!! Just a pipe dream but what it has done is reignite a passion for the game and I’m now like a sponge and before placing a large deposit online have been trying to learn as much as I possibly can first. My question for you is 3 fold what is the best system to play on? Ie I have an iPad, IMac, and laptop in the house, what software for tracking and what sites based in the UK accept them. Many thanks Steve
