Hey Lex, Great Video. I think everything you talked about in this video is very solid advice for low stakes players especially starting out. I remember trying to beat $1/$2 years ago when I first started playing cash and I was a break even player. I studied all the coaching sights but still never made any real progress as a cash player (solid tournament player). I finally realized that thinking in ranges, range advantage, nut advantage, and balance was just over thinking things at this level. It was way better just to play solid values with a tight range. Play suited cards, and mainly from position. When you flop your top pair with a good kicker, value bet to the river and collect your pot. Also, DON"T PAY OFF! Your tip about folding to big bets is very true, $1/$2 players simply do not bluff at a high enough frequency to worry about it, just FOLD! That was the biggest leak in my game calling big bets on the river. Once I plugged that leak things changed for me fast.

Earned a subscribe from me, keep up the great work.. I only have seen a few of your videos but I like your no non-sense approach.

I am going to watch this before every session from now on. I've ruined two otherwise great sessions recently because I couldn't fold to a big turn bet raise with good but not great hands. Love your channel and congrats on the huge win you just posted. Looking forward to seeing all the action at TCH in the coming weeks. Keep crushing it!

This is my favorite, tips and strategy video in all of YouTube. The reality is that a big portion of us who play poker as a hobby, or perhaps an extra stream of income do so at low stakes, and these tips and strategy are fucking GOLDEN, in it's simplicity. Thanks, good luck the rest of the year.

As true today as back when you made this blog. Keeping us engaged and entertained for the last few years. Well done

I've put some effort into learning enough to have a pretty great win rate at the small stakes, but I'll be playing live next week for the first time in well over a year. I feel like this video was a good review of principals to keep the odds in my favor. I don't want to play poorly due to COVID rust! Thanks bud!!

What I didn't like about 1/2 or 1/3 NLH is the $6.00 rake, $ 1.00 is for the Bad Beat, and $5.00 for the rake, it's hard to come out a big winner especially when you include the tips . My money isn't long enough for the higher limits, with the way these youngsters betting as heavy as they do, so I gave it up . That's why I love to watch you bloggers play poker, at least I can watch and think about what I would do if I were them, :-) .

Bet-fold is the best advice you can give to any low stakes player. So many players are married to top pair big kicker and too stubborn to fold. But most solid players have the discipline to pay attention to what they have invested and how much they are risking if they genuinely believe AK is good based on what they know about the opponent. Folding top single pairs is probably one of the hardest habits to learn

Stumbled onto this video a couple years after you posted it and i just wanted to leave a compliment. Great content with real world examples

This is one of the better $1/$2 how to video I have seen. Although most we probably already do most of these steps, it does serve as a reminder to reevaluate things like if we are betting/folding in the right times, not c-betting into multiway pots, etc. which will save money.

Bet folding! A true disciple of Bart Hanson. Found you through the call in show and am loving the content my man

[jakewoodstock]

Thank you I appreciate your content, a lot of your strategies are nearly identical to mine. Short of Max buying at 1 to I have found my first buying being a short stack and accepting the money as already being gone enables me to play tight and get my head in the game before I start making moves yesterday 100 turned into 600 playing 1/2! And that was my first buy

[henster]

Hey lex first time viewer here, really enjoyed your video and insight on your 1-2 strategy. Those are great fundamentals to worth with but I would like here a little more on exploitative play if for instance you have an edge on players at the table and how to properly use that! Thanks again for the vids great job man!

I played there last week, good vlog! The thing I noticed about the Big Easy was the average stack size at the 1/2 tables was barely over $100. Keep up the good work Lex

[MasterApprentist]

The tip about folding pairs when check raised of the flop was a massive leak for me. Even when I have the possibility of making a draw or strait I tap pout because if we are being honest it rarely happens but our confirmation bias wants it to so badly we convinc ourselves a flush or strait is coming... It rarely does
