@Blackrain79Poker - Been playing hold'em since the mid 90's here in Dallas. Back then, it was underground and Elk's Lodges. While not a Pro, I dedicate a majority of my free hours every week to poker. Either online or live. A true Degenerate. I learn something new with each of your videos. Great insights that have truly improved my game! Thanks so Much Nathan!!

"If you don't know what to do, just make a bet" this goes against all my natural instincts 😅 One thing I can honestly say is that I've stopped paying off the nits or at least the ones I've identified. I realized I got that badge when I saw a manic going head to head with a nitty regular and I'm like duuudee pay attention, this guy always has it!!!! But he didn't believe them. And then the nit took his money. And probably did again after that. Thanks BR!

Regarding point 6... I tuned up my game by playing on XBox -- Prominence Poker ranked tournaments. People actually take the ranked tournaments seriously, because ranking matters. I haven't been playing anything crazy, but I won $700+ this summer in local poker tournaments because of that game. Bronze and silver ranks are full of fish - you can place by never playing a hand. Gold has smarter players, so the games can take a while. Platinum and diamond have legitimately decent players. Would love to see a poker pro do videos on this free game.

Number 2 is still part of my continuing adult education. ÀÀ and KK are just so much fun when you catch them.

I play better because of you thank you teacher and I try not to skip advertising ❤

Can you give some recommended sites\ apps to play?

[rasserfrasser]

W/ regards to Rule #3 in this episode - yes. Most hands are crap. A lot of times (maybe most) you aren't betting whether you have a decent hand, you're betting that your opponent doesn't match up either (especially w/ an Ace). So yeah, if your two cards are Ace high above the belt, depending on the flop bet slowly into them. See how the cards lay down and more importantly how much your opponent sweats. A person with KQ in this example would lose. You can always fold, but you can't arm wrestle from a distance, you have to test the pressure every hand if possible. On a trend, don't let the table force you out, make the opponent do it. Absolutely, thanks Nathan!

I live in Minnesota so my options are very limited. Online poker is illegal in my state. And my state actually pursues out of state poker sites. So I only have 2 live cash games to pick from. fixed limit 3 / 6 kill hold em and 2 - 100 spread limit. I'm trying to keep my skills sharp on "poker all day" buy I feel really limited in what I can do right now

Can you give me any kind of other option

[pridemyselfwithnontrolling]

What are your favorite playing cards?

Is there videos on YouTube of you playing?

[mattdempsey]

Is this for tournaments and cash games?

[StreetsOfSonic]

Unfortunately those games you say I WANT to play in end up around 75% of the time with my opponents always making their draws and stacking me. I realize I SHOULD want this and SHOULD profit from it but they keep putting all their money in on weak draws and low pairs and keep sucking out. I can only lose so much money and be so unlucky before I give it up because my bankroll can't take it. Unfortunately in my experience I find the statistics sometimes just decide to ignore you. Variance for ME seems to be when my made hands manage to actually hold up, which even over the long run has not been often.
