This guy just comes off as much more genuine than a lot of the other training site owners. I may look into this. I’ve always used CLP but doesn’t help much for the series as it’s mostly cash strategy. Are there more videos similar to this if you sign up?

Mr. little this vid and the c-bet one R some of my favs. I kept rewinding, pausing and taking notes till I fully understood what U were teaching. Got a lot out of them I want to join your pokercoaching at some point when I free up time from other studys. love your material, thank you for sharing it. 🤑♥️♠️♦️♣️

Thank you very much for the content, I can't explain how helpful your videos have been. I recently was playing a 1-2 no limit live and using the 3 bet range against two maniacs at my table they called my all in with super weak hands and I raked in the money.

[Jokerizbadass]

I typically like 3betting 3x the original raise + 1x for every caller ($20 open = $60 3bet +$20 a caller)

When out of position though I'll make it 5x + 1x a caller

Jonathan, Im curious if there are some charts for raising ranges over multiple limps

[Missyzbeauty]

I hear a ton of people, as of recently talking about ranges and what not at the table. Even heard a recreational person talk about Johnathan Little... The games are getting super GTO, this is why I employ a strong exploitative strategy. Understand what’s trending, get into the minds of these players and adapt.

[NewYorkTyler]

This is a really good video -- I have several solid takeaways. Thanks for putting out such helpful content.

[Starshine]

Really strong descriptions of the range strategy in this one.

[qwertz]

I am wondering about the SB chart. The GTO Chart suggest to only 3-bet or fold. But your chart suggest calling a lot, which is also what I usually see. When is it ok to call and when should you stick to 3-bet or fold

[MC-gjfg]

Sizing question...$1-$2 game...there's a limp from EP, a raise to $12 from a player in MP with a wide opening range, a call, and it's folded to us. Using the 3x or 4x 3-bet sizing depending on position as mentioned in this video, how much additional would we add to our 3-bet sizing to offset the dead money generated by the limper and the caller? The value of what they contributed to the pot? In other words $36(3x open from cutoff)+$2 (1 limper)+$12(1 caller) = total raise to $50? I've heard from some sources that half of what the passive players put into the pot is acceptable (3-betting to $43...36+6+1),  but not really sure what is correct or why. Is it dependent of the size of the effective stacks and which will do a good enough job denying correct implied odds? Since premium hands are always, well, at a premium, in most cases I'm 3-betting light against an opponent who has a wide open range while leveraging my tight image so my goal is to risk the minimum that will get the job done.

The more I watch of these, the more I realise that getting useful info about likely opponent ranges is the really valuable info. I am trying to get this by paying more attention.

[Malcolm.Y]

A little confusing. At 4:50, against NIT, list says 1) don't bluff and 2) don't feel inclined to bluff with all hands on the chart. Huh?

[SFreedberg]

Really good info, but I think things change a lot in small stakes live games where the typical PFR is 4 to 5x and sometimes more. I play in a small local casino where the blinds are 1-3 and buy in is 60-300. It's an odd game as they play with 2.00 chips. Maybe in a future video you can discuss how things change with 100 bb stacks and the avg raise pre is 5x. Thanks for your great work.

[EricSmythChrist]

Another good thing to do on ANY stack size, is to see what the SPR (Stack to pot ratio) is when called.




If you 4.5x 3 bet and he calls, the pot will be 9 opens, and a blind.



Look at what the stacks will be there, and plan accordingly.



If the stacks are 10x the pot vs 5x the pot, the decision to raise at all should be greatly impacted.

[gazorpazorp]

Great and much needed (by me) video! Thank you!

[johnthepalm]

Great video. Question for you. If I'm card dead, sometimes, I've been putting some hands like K7s into my three-bets range from out of position against a player I think is opening way too many hands preflop from mid position to isolate because a lot of these LAGs play pretty tight against that type of line postflop. I've seen this pattern with a lot of preflop LAGs who tend to call three-bets preflop with hands like 86s. Is my play too loose? Am I putting too many chips at risk with these plays?

[madmartigan]

An opening raise to 3x the big blind very rarely occurs in live low stakes no limit hold'em. Since opening raise sized often start larger we will very often have awkward SPR's as a result of 3-betting. Something to keep in mind.

[EricSmythChrist]

By test, incredibly, I have found that betting a little too large oop is better than betting a little too small in position, although both tend to work out great for me

whats the number u get when u add up all numbers on a roulettte table?
