The last video of yours I watch, you said never play these hands, if you want to win.

The other night I had pocket Aces I put in a large raise, the guy next to me says “I’m gonna crack your overcards” and called it. The flop is Q 7 7 he goes all in, I don’t believe him so I call and he turns over 5 7 offsuit. I wasn’t even angry I was just stupefied.

good content! Thank you.

As for hand #2: 54d, on 6Kd7s flop you need strategy how to get out of trouble in case you missed all draws?? A pair of K with decent kicker is not folding in small stakes never mind what pressure you put on them. So: it's either (winning small) or (loose large) . (if we hit our hand, i.e. flush comes on turn/river, opponent is going to fold his pair of K easily. And we win small. If we miss it, he'll call our bluffs easily, i.e. we're losing large). You see what I mean.
What's your strategy to cheaply get out of this trouble?

Some good advice I’ve ever got and is pretty much true any hand can be a winner you never know what the flop is going to be what you guys think?

[magicbyspaz]

The best hand in paper poker in is A/10. Obviously A/10 suited. Is better.

Online it's bad because of the software.

Beginners won't know how to play and how to bet on these hands

[andyrusellthunderbrook]

I often fold then most time right Decision also when 2 gos AI

[TylerGeffeney]

I’m confused, your charts on what hands to play say don’t play Ten eight suited

[inikolov]

BS info, In small stakes tourneys you will lose so much money trying to catch flops playing these hands. People will go all in before flop on all kinds of stuff. Stick to good hands.

i had KK and faced a limp and raise and i went all in. the limper snap called. shit. AA, right? NO...10 2 off. gets a straight on the river. i have not seen that in a poker book, article or video yet.

[markcummings]

They are good hands to have in your range but you have to play them smartly understand the implied odds for starter and I wouldn't opening them often in early positions.

[Stockholm_Syndrome]

I like playing J9 suited in late position. I have won alot with that hand.

[bobross]

Yeah I agree that Ace plus whatever suited and any kind of suited connectors (or J 9 and the like as shown here) are all very good hands to play. In fact, if you are going to clean up and even get a big stack in a tournament, you actually MUST hit these hands. Getting AA or KK or whatever is obviously rare and you can sit there like a stump waiting for it and get blinded out or just play junk and hope to get lucky. Making hands with these kind of okay with potential starting hands is really where you want to be. You get these kinds of hands way more often, and if you hit them, as the video says you can crush everyone and win a massive pot. Yes, you do not hit them also often, but at least it gives you some hand to play and get into pots with lots of potential and outs. Plus, if you wait for super hands like AA or Ak people catch on pretty quick and know you are tight.

If you dont hit them you fold them after fourth street and you are not too deep. But the video is right you want to get in cheap and try to hit on the flop and if you do not hit it, as long as it is cheap, no biggie.

Did you rail on amateur players for playing A-rag A-4 qualified as A-rag.

[Terry-ok]

I got a little story I still can't believe I was in the cutoff position and I left in there's a couple other players the button raised it make it 15 two other players called I three bet two 45 the button calls the other players fold it came a lowball flop at 3 and 5 in a 6 rainbow I had nothing I I made a continuation bet of 40 the button just calls return came a jack I bet a hundred here again the button just calls the river comes at 9:00 here again I have absolutely nothing I have 200 left and I push all in the button folds it shows me a pair of aces I was dumbfounded

[patricklemmon]

Not advocating playing the 7-2 but I did win a tournament, from the big & checked, with it. The flop was 772 rainbow. My allin was called in 3 of 5 active places. Eliminated all 3, then won the heads up battle quickly. As the song says, every band's a winner and every band's a loser (EV competes with That!.

[travislivingston]

Dude played those pocket 55's perfectly slowplyed the trips on the flop basically a half pot bet til river then triple bet..made around $200+ .. also played alot of 7 6 hit straight and two pair. Good Advice for sure. Thank you for the poker tips

[BobS-dfmz]

You have double-counted D8 D3 on hand 2 !!

[quiquecrz]

Hi there. Do you think you could share the script you use for pokerstars windows arrangement? It's very uncomfortable for me to play more than 4 tables because if one becomes active and I dont reply on time, the next active window will make it so I cant find the first window anymore :_ THANKS!

[TheVigilantEye]

Gotta hit the flop with BOTH CARDS preferably with two draws. Example on turn a possible trips str8 or trips flush
