Poker Ranges Explained

In this video I breakdown how to look at a poker hand using ranges and how that has developed over the years. I no longer only think about my hand vs. my opponents hand, but now look at the ranges of hands we could both have in that spot. I touch briefly on counting combinations and their importance in determining ranges. Finally, I talk about how blocker's change the possible combinations an opponent could have. Coming soon we'll release some live hands I recently played and dissect the ranges.

I'm relatively new to poker, but I've really gotten into it since watching Daniel. He's really animated and generally happy even if he's losing. He's insane at reading people and calling their hands. I've been in a rut recently trying to develop my skills but had a hard time finding exactly where I'm at to develop from there. This video has really helped me to understand some ideas which may be basic to others, but I now have an idea of where I'm at and where I want to go.

I misread the title, I read it as "Poker Rages Explained". I was looking for you to explain Mike Matusow & Phil Hellmuth. Might have been a good video.

You taught me at 17 when I began studying Small Ball. It overhauled my game and gave me a $100k net worth in my mid-twenties. Now you're aiding me again in my early 30's. Thank you Sir.

And then you play on the internet and the range you're facing is infinite

Thanks Daniel for trying to make poker understandable to us mere mortals! Please keep doing vids like this I know others like me really appreciate it.

[VinnyVidiVintage]

Thanks for this Daniel. I was really big into poker pre-2009 but have not paid attention to it for a long time. You have always been one of my favorite players and this is like having you as a coach!

I love how intellectual this game is. I've been watching a bunch of videos of you and it amazes me when you look at someone and practically know their hand.

Great Explanation of the evolution of poker and ranges, I thing is the best one I have seen so far.
I allready knew this stuff but it was hard for me to explain it to somebody. you made it simple.
thanks.

Absolutely loved this video... Can't wait for more high end nuanced strategy break down. I'm normally playing with what's my hand Vs what I think theres is, the concept of calculating the ranges the opponent could have and how many card combinations could beat my range is fantastic. I want to get to a higher level of poker can't wait to apply some basic probability and math to my hands.

[KazuichiYumito]

This guys is a absolute machine, wtf! The speed he splain that perfectly without a break, a cut or a edit. No errors. Just perfect.

"I keep it pretty elementary so that you'll understand it" well dammnnn

[pandanation]

This is a great video! Please continue this line of thought

Daniel help us understand that anything you do in a poker table conveys information

My dad taught me five card draw poker when i was around 8 and then texas hold'em around 9. That was 20 years ago.
I've always loved playing poker but i've never really watched poker tournaments nor have i really thought about "trying my luck" at it.
But i've watched a lot of videos these past weeks where you are playing. You're really good, and nearly always "know" what cards your opponent has. To a point where i would call it amazing.

Only found your channel now, great video! i've subscribed and looking forward to watch all your vids. Good luck with everything !

[Ryan-nhmt]

Daniel. Great video, you are explaining this perfectly. Keep these more detailed ones coming! The "math side" of poker is the most exhilarating part of the game for me along with taking that risky call or bluff. Keep these quality vids coming!

[adityamittal]

the perfect lesson for my level; understood everything and learned two interesting things ... the AK vs AA, KK, QQ counting when holding lower pair like JJ and potentially C-betting when I might not have the cards but I have the range advantage; JJ might also block the straight for AK but 99 might not

[MrDALE-jytu]

First video on YouTube that ive EVER had to turn down! Lol
Thanks! Jesus it's awesome to be able to hear clear and loud! 😎👍

[garrysmith]

For those of us who actually appreciate the fact, humble enough to listen, a most gratuitous Thank you.

The modesty in which you share your information Makes it so much easier to understand. I consider myself a very good poker player, and I find myself being transparent to better players.

Thank you for taking the time
And giving us aspiring not for the money, but to be good at the game .

Hope to play with you one day .
👊

Thank you for these videos Kid.
I had fallen out of love with poker after 2 years of terrible play, and some bad beats. But your consistency and beautiful personality are getting me back in the game piece by piece.
I count my poker Idols on a small list... starting with my Grandfather, and having Doyle, Ivey, Helmuth and yourself now competing for 2-5!
Quarantine... here I come!!!

[brettanderson]

Super helpful thank you - switch from old school to new school feels quite overwhelming but starting to get my mind around it through videos like this and WSOP vlogs really helps so thank you for taking the time!
