Jon's top tips on how to succeed in Poker:
Take time to learn the game. Make the most of our poker school resources.
Be part of our forum community. Being surrounded by players in your shoes and then also by members who have succeeded will help you with your growth and motivation for the game.
Play lots! Volume is key!
Always think before acting. 2 seconds extra thinking can turn a losing play into a winning one.
Work harder than the next person. Just like anything whoever works the hardest will achieve the most.
Have fun. Playing long hours of poker everyday can take its toll. Make sure you keep some love for the game and enjoy your days off.
Part 1 of 6 - Jon takes to the tables at William Hill, to show us once again How to Crush the Micros! With no HUD usage, he shows us how a simple ABC strategy makes money and discusses subjects such as...
Awesome video showing that you can still use some more advanced plays at the micro levels.
Lessons on how to bluff and keeping an eye on player types so that we know how to play them based on their previous actions at the table.
The all spade board where you bluff with 8-10 is just awesome. Great line there. Learned alot from this video. Definitely will watch the other parts. Thanks Jon!
Ok so I haven't played WH for ages and this was interesting. It seems the games have gotten better! I know I'm supposed to come in with a lot of strategy questions but I just like seeing someone play and having fun doing it, which is what you get with coach Jon, something many of us microstakes players need reminding of after a few tough days - have fun, learn sure, but have fun learning!
I was going to give this 4 stars because I thought the pace was a little quick maybe for nl4 players, then I remembered I can 'replay!' Lol
5 stars it is then!
If you were playing against all regs, would you still min raise the button? Wouldn't they start defending/playing back more frequently and making life more difficult?
Yes i would stick to min raising. Once they adjust and start to 'play back' what i could do to re-adjust is change my opening range, 4bet more frequently, defend more vs 3Bets and float more post flop. Alternatively i could just change seats or move tables.
Yeh it looks a lot better/worse than it actually is. Basically just from start to finish villain didn't rep anything of strong value. Limp called pre - could be any 2. Bet min/called raise - doesn't show huge strength and then most importantly he checked the river. When players like this hit they normally pot bet it or at least bet something so this was another 'tell' i picked up on to make my decision to go all in. Also i made sure the pot was never huge and i still could make a large 'scary' jam on the river so even if he has mid spades it would be a very tough decision and a bad call for him to make in the long run.
Table 3 29:40 AcJc
These situations are always tricky for us micro players, hate folding, hate overcalling, but squeezing has already shown us these two don't like to fold preflop. Is overcalling much worse than squeezing here? We still need to hit hard in the middle versus these two I think whatever we do. Yes, I understand the pot will be huge when we do hit it hard making it easy to play, but do we hit it hard often enough would be my question. Thanks. :)
12:20 Table 4 Kh8d
Why not barrel the turn and at least control the pot a bit if villain does have us beat or had a spade or pp he got sticky with? Ppl like to call on paired boards to hit a FH and flush draws with one to come.
We can always chk behind river or chk/f if villain bets out too big? We are stuck calling a pot bet otherwise which was fair enough since we did encourage the bet. Thanks. :)
Just from experience i find we generally just get a ton of folds or create a big pot when we are holding the 2nd best hand. So i prefer to check thinking i can get river value as my line is less believable, control the pot size and also be able to just call any bet on the river so i induce.
4:38 interesting float Q7s on 593r, 2 bd st8drws, 1 bd fd
29:08 super re-iso 4 bet w QT, took down the pot pre
seemed to be a few spots where kind of forced to check and give up, but so did they, and sometimes carried on and lost another street or 2.
