Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL” is a professional poker player from France. He has over $4,500,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 500 on the all-time money list. His largest tournament score of $892,811 came in Rozvadov when he finished 2nd in the 2021 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event. He is the most popular French poker vlogger with over 175,000 subscribers and close to 1,000 videos.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther ‘HiiiBarbie’, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza and Maria Ho.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results
1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000
2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0
3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0
4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0

Flop – Qd Jd 7s:
Yoh Viral leads out for 300,000 on the flop with a disguised overpair, a backdoor flush draw and a backdoor straight draw to broadway. Ho calls with two overcards and a gutshot straight draw to broadway.

River – 3c:
The 3 of clubs comes on the river and Yoh Viral checks once more with his pocket aces. What will Ho do with her disguised pair of kings and ace kicker? Will she check or bet? Stay tuned until the end of this poker video to find out!

Xuan Liu is playing in a massive high stakes poker game at The Lodge Card Club, with not one but two straddles on! She sees a raise in front of her from the loose Tesla before she looks down at the best starting hand in poker, the beautiful pocket aces. She must already be thinking about how she can get all of Tesla’s chips! However, everything changes when Tesla puts in the rare double check-raise before finally shoving on the river. But nobody can work out if this is a value bet or a bluff! What do you think?

When playing against a player you regard as very loose, you should look to use larger bet sizes with your strong value hands. Their calling range becomes inelastic to bet size as they generally decide whether to call or fold to a bet with their specific hand and disregard the size of the bet. Be careful when doing this that you do not use a size that is above their calling threshold, many players can get overly scared of bigger than pot sized bets so you must figure out who these opponents are and adjust accordingly!

Xuan Liu is a Canadian professional poker player with over $2,300,000 in live tournament earnings. Her largest cash of $600,000 came in 2012 when she finished 4th in the $10,000 buy-in Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure (PCA). 888poker sponsored her from 2010 to 2015. Xuan has played over 30 times in live streamed cash games at different venues and is down over $200,000.

James, also known by “”Tesla”” is an American amateur poker player and entrepreneur who lives in Panama City Beach, Florida, USA. This was his first appearance on The Lodge Live Stream. James is currently down over $740,000 from 3 live streamed cash games and has only played at The Lodge Card Club.

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor. Lodge Card Club has bought San Antonio’s largest poker room, Rounders Card Club, which opened in July 2024. The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. There will be the same top-tier tournaments, cash games, and service that Lodge Card Club is known for.

There is also a Lodge Live Stream that has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme and Nik Airball.

Preflop:
With a $200 double straddle on, Tesla raises to $900 from the cutoff with KQo. Xuan Liu 3-bets to $2,500 from the button with pocket aces. After the small blind and big blind fold, Tesla calls with his two broadway cards.

Flop – Qd Th 6h:
Tesla checks after flopping top pair with a backdoor straight draw and backdoor flush draw. Liu puts out a continuation bet of $2,500 with her overpair, backdoor straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. Tesla raises to $6,000 with his pair of queens, which Liu calls with her pocket rockets as they both head to the turn.

Turn – Td:
A board-pairing ten of diamonds on the turn introduces a second flush draw. Tesla chooses to check after not picking up any backdoor draws to go with his top pair. Liu, also without any backdoor draws, fires out a bet of $6,000. Tesla then executes the extremely rare double check-raise, making it $19,000. Liu makes the call and they head to the river.

River – 6d:
A double board pairing 6 of diamonds on the river completes the backdoor flush. Tesla bets $24,400, putting Liu all-in. Will Liu be able to call with the American Airlines? Will Tesla ‘get paid’ with this thin value bet or did he turn his hand into a bluff? Stay tuned to the end of the video to find out!

Jesse Lonis and Shannon Shorr get into a battle of the blinds during an event at the 2024 U.S. Poker Open at the PokerGo Studio in Las Vegas. Shorr puts Lonis all-in on the river and after some thought Lonis reaches for his timebank chips. To his horror, he can’t seem to find them anywhere! They’ve gone missing and he has only 10 seconds left to make a decision for his tournament life or his cards will be automatically folded!

You shouldn’t always raise your strong hands such as broadway cards from the small blind when it folds to you. You should mix between limping and raising, as this helps you maintain a balanced range. By doing so, your opponent will not be able to exploit your limps, as your range of limping from the small blind will not just contain weak ones but also some strong hands.

Jesse Lonis has over $10,600,00 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. He has two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. The first came from a 2022 $1,000 No Limit Hold’em (NLHE) 6-Max (Online Bracelet Event) where he won $73,371. The second was from the 2023 $50,000 Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) High Roller 8-Max, where he won $2,303,017, this is his biggest cash to date.

Shannon Shorr ‘basebal1b’ ‘aulophobia’ has over $13,300,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 100 on the all time money list. He has been a regular in tournaments and cash games of all stakes for over 15 years. He was also Jonathan Little’s best man at his wedding & is now a coach for PokerCoaching.com!

The 2024 U.S. Poker Open was the sixth edition of the USPO, a series of high-stakes poker tournaments held at PokerGO Studio at the Aria Hotel & Casino. The series ran from April 8th-17th, with 8 scheduled events culminating in the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament finale.

Preflop:
In a battle of the blinds, Jesse Lonis limps in from the small blind with KTo. Shannon Shorr raises to 42,000 from the big blind with pocket nines and Lonis calls.

Flop – Kc 9c 4s:
Lonis checks from out of position after flopping top pair with a pair of kings, along with a backdoor straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. Shorr, who flops the second nuts with a set of nines, fires a continuation bet of 28,000. Lonis calls without knowing that he needs a miracle runner-runner to make the best hand.

Turn – Js:
The J of spades on the turn brings in a backdoor flush draw. Lonis improves to a gutshot straight draw to broadway in addition to his top pair. He checks and faces a bet of 120,000 from Shorr, who holds three nines. Lonis makes the call as they both head to the river.

River – 6s:
The backdoor flush completes with the 6 of spades on the river. Lonis checks for the third and final time holding top pair and a straight blocker. Shorr, unfazed by the potential straight or flush, bets 259,000, enough to put Lonis all-in. Lonis goes deep into the tank and after some time he realizes that he’s missing all of his precious timebanks. Will this impact his decision to call or fold? You’ll have to watch the full poker video to find out what happens!

During a three handed cash game at the Lodge Card Club in Texas, Brad Owen gets into a battle of the blinds with his friend Daniel. Brad decides to unload the clip with a missed flush draw by overbetting the river. Will he be able to get this huge bluff past his friend or will Daniel sniff it out and take some of those very sought after Bradley dollars?

When deciding to use a large bet size on the flop or turn, it’s important to ensure you are polarized with the hands that you choose to do it with. This means you should have either a very strong made hand or a strong draw. By doing so, you remain balanced, and your opponents will not be able to exploit you based on your bet sizing.

Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 742,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player Brad has started playing more tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live tournament winnings are over $900,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he came 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. Since 2022, Brad has played on over 26 live streamed cash games and has lost over $200,000.

Playing three-handed, Daniel raises to $150 from the small blind after the button folds. Brad Owen 3-bets to $500 from the big blind with the solver approved A5 of clubs. Daniel calls and they both head to the flop.

Flop – Jc 7h 2c:
Daniel checks as he is first to act. Brad puts out a continuation bet of $650, having flopped the nut flush draw, a backdoor wheel draw & an overcard. Daniel slides in the call, and they head to the turn to continue this battle of the blinds.

Turn – 9d:
Daniel checks for a second time after the 9 of diamonds appears on the turn. Brad fires a second barrel of $1,500, continuing to represent a premium pocket pair like aces or kings, even though he only has the nut flush draw and one overcard. Daniel calls again.

River – 4h:
Brad completely misses his draw on the 4 of hearts river, leaving him with just ace-high. After Daniel checks, Brad empties the clip with a $7,000 overbet. Will Daniel catch Brad with his hand in the cookie jar or will this audacious bluff get through? Stay tuned until the end of this poker video to see the outcome!

There are countless stories, pictures and videos of Phil Ivey proving to the world why he will probably go down as the greatest to have ever played poker. Today, you will witness one of these tales in which Ivey cements his godlike status once more after he puts Ramin Hajiyev into the blender on the river during a Triton Poker stop in Jeju, South Korea. Can Hajiyev find the hero call or will Ivey’s legendary bluff get through?

When you have the range and the nut advantage in a hand, it is advised to play your hand aggressively by betting more frequently. An example of this is if the board runs out low when defending from the big blind versus an under the gun open.

Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’, or ‘RaiseOnce’ on PokerStars, is an American professional poker player and a regular at the highest stakes tournaments and cash games all around the world. He has over $46,300,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 11 on the all-time money list. He has 11 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets (only Phil Hellmuth has more). Phil Ivey is considered by many to be one of the greatest all-round poker players.

Ramin Hajiyev is a professional poker player from Azerbaijan. He has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $4,122,554 came at the 2023 $210,000 Luxon Invitational, during Triton Cyprus, which he won. He has one WSOP bracelet from the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE), where he won a €1,000 Turbo 6-Max event for €18,088.
Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.

This was during the Triton Jeju Series at the Landing Casino, Shinhwa World – Jeju, South Korea; it had 19 poker tournaments ranging with buy-ins from $15,000 up to $150,000 in No Limit Hold’em (NLHE), Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) and Short-Deck (SD) and ran from March 5th – March 21st, 2024.

$30,000 – 2024 Triton Poker Series Jeju Event #5 – Results

1st: Adrian Mateos ‘Amadi17’ – Spain – $1,175,000
2nd: David Peters ‘SilentAssassin’ – U.S.A – $790,000
3rd: Yulian Bogdanov – Bulgaria – $557,000
4th: Seth Gottlieb ‘SmileThHero’ – U.S.A – $452,000
5th: Joao Vieira – ‘Naza114’ – Portugal – $358,000
6th: Ramin Hajiyev – Azerbaijan – $271,500

Preflop:
Phil Ivey raises to 160,000 with KJ of clubs from the cutoff. Ramin Hajiyev 3-bets to 450,000 from the button holding AKo. After the blinds fold, Ivey calls with his suited broadway cards and they head to the flop.

Flop – 6s 4h 3c
The low flop misses both players completely. Ivey checks with his two overcards and a backdoor flush draw. Hajiyev fires a standard continuation bet of 275,000 with his big slick which Ivey calls out of position.

Turn – 5h:
The 5 of hearts brings in a four-liner, meaning any three or seven would make a straight. Neither Ivey nor Hajiyev improves on this card and they both decide to check.

River – 7s:
When the 7 of spades hits the river, both players are playing the seven-high straight on board and will chop the pot if they both get to showdown. However, Ivey attempts to scoop the entire pot and moves all-in for 1,285,000. Will arguably the G.O.A.T. of poker get this epic bluff through, or will Hajiyev figure out Ivey’s antics and make the hero call to chop the pot? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk steps away from the half pipe to play in a charity poker shootout tournament at the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas. In the heads-up part of the show, he faces poker professional Maria Ho. On an extremely wet board, Hawk has just seven-high and faces an overbet from Ho. How the adrenaline junkie responds is truly mind blowing & is not to be missed!

When you make a large bet or overbet on the river, you should be very polarized. This means that you should either have a really strong nutted hand or you have absolutely nothing. It helps keep you balanced when playing against Game Theory Optimal (GTO) studied opponents, meaning you will have a mixture of bluffs and value in your overbetting range.

Maria Ho is a professional poker player from America. She has over $5,400,000 in live tournament earnings, putting her in the top 350 on the all-time money list. She is well known for commentating on a wide variety of poker shows including the US Poker Open, Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters and the World Series of Poker.

Tony Hawk is a retired American professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is widely considered as one of the most influential skateboarders in history. Tony Hawk gained fame for his groundbreaking skills and achievements in vert skateboarding, including being the first person to land a “900” (a trick involving two and a half spins in mid-air). Apart from his success in the sport, Tony Hawk has built a successful business empire with his own skateboarding company and video game series. He remains an iconic figure in the skateboarding community and has made significant contributions to the popularization of the sport worldwide. Hawk has been involved in charity poker events and has played in tournaments alongside other celebrities. He only has one live tournament cash to date, according to HendonMob, which was for $5,000. It came in 2004 at the Celebrity Poker Showdown Season 4 in Las Vegas.

The 2016 Poker Central Shootout had given $85,000 to charity after hosting two phases of action at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. The first part of the tournament pitted celebrities and a qualifier from Zynga poker against each other in a six-handed Sit & Go to advance to a heads-up match between the professional poker players. The top three in the first part split $45,000, and the winners of the heads-up matches received $10,000 for a charity of their choice.

In the heads-up matches, Tyle Posey took on Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’; Tony Hawk played Maria Ho and Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs’ or ‘KidPoker’ faced Chuck Liddell.

The Poker Central Charity Shootout featured Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black), Jennie Garth (90210), Tony Hawk, Chuck Liddell (UFC Heavyweight champion), Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs’ or ‘KidPoker’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Jennifer Maddox (Zynga poker qualifier) and Maria Ho.

$0 – 2016 The Poker Central Charity Shootout – Results (1st Round)

1st: Tyler Posey – U.S.A – $20,000 (for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society)
2nd: Tony Hawk – U.S.A – $15,000 (for the Tony Hawk Foundation)
3rd: Chuck Liddell – U.S.A – $10,000 (for the St. Jude Foundation)
4th: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $0
5th: Daniel Negreanu ‘Dnegs’, ‘Kidpoker’ – Canada – $0
6th: Jennifer Maddox – U.S.A – $0
7th: Jennie Garth – U.S.A – $0
8th: Jackie Cruz – U.S.A – $0

Preflop:
Tony Hawk calls from the button with 75 of diamonds, which is also the small blind in heads-up poker. Maria Ho checks from the big blind with 63 of spades and they both head to the flop.

Flop – Ac Tc 4c:
The ace-high monotone flop misses both players. Ho checks with just a backdoor straight draw. Hawk checks back with his own backdoor straight draw.

Turn – 2c:
A fourth club arrives on the turn. Both players have improved to a gutshot straight draw. Ho bets 1,000 and Hawk calls with his suited one-gapper and gutshot straight draw to the wheel.

River – 8h:
The 8 of hearts on the river misses both players’ draws. They are each left with virtually nothing. Ho overbets for 4,000 with just six-high. Surely this is going to work since Hawk only has seven-high on such a wet and connected board, right? What the skateboarding G.O.A.T. does next has shocked even the top poker professionals! Stay tuned to find out what it is.

Have you ever been in a situation at the poker table where you just have no idea what you are meant to do? Well, that occasionally happens to professional poker players, too! While playing in a cash game at The Wynn in Las Vegas, Rampage Poker finds himself in a confusing situation when facing a min-raise on the turn whilst holding trips. Should he call, raise, or fold? He doesn’t know what to do! What would you do?

When you are out of position and playing very deep-stacked poker, you should use larger raise sizes when deciding to 3-bet your opponents. Playing out of position is extremely disadvantageous in poker as your opponent will have much more information about the hand than you will. If you were to play a game of rock, paper, scissors and you had the option to pick last. Who would win that game? You! By using a larger raise size you disincentivize your opponent in calling whilst it also helps you narrow their range when they do call. When the stacks become shallower you then start to use smaller 3-bet sizes out of position since the stack-to-pot ratio (SPR) is much lower than it would be in a deep stacked game.

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player.

Heads-up poker is the purest form of our beautiful game & there is nowhere to hide! There can only be one winner and one loser! In this heads-up battle Nikita Luther takes on David Williams during PokerGO’s Game of Gold in South Korea. Luther finds herself on the river with a busted draw. It looks like she doesn’t have the courage to fire out a bluff as she decides to check. Surely she has now waved the white flag to Williams to value bet his pair of jacks?

In full-ring games, when you defend from the big blind against a raise and then call a continuation bet on the flop, it’s often a solid strategy to have a leading range on turns that pair the middle or bottom card. These cards are more likely to be a part of your range than your opponent’s, so you can go into the leveling war. This allows you to mix in leads with both your value hands and your bluffs.

David Williams is a professional poker player from America. He has over $9,300,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. His largest cash of $3,500,000 came from the 2004 WSOP Main Event where he narrowly lost out on his first bracelet to Greg Raymer ‘Fossilman’. Two years later he captured his first WSOP bracelet after winning the 2006 $1,500 7 Card Stud event for $163,118.

Nikita Luther is a professional poker player from India and is a Natural8 ambassador. She has over $530,000 in live tournament poker earnings and one World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the $1,000 Tag Team Event in 2018 for $87,902 where she partnered with professional poker player Giuseppe Pantaleo from Germany. Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

Round 2 was the heads-up team battle part of the show – There were 4 teams with three players on each team. After one match, the losing team would put up their next poker player. After one team had lost 3 matches they would be eliminated to the losers bracket with the winning team advancing to the winners bracket. The 3 players on the losing team from the losers bracket would be eliminated from the show.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: David Williams raises to 40,000 with J8o from the button, which is also the small blind during heads-up poker. Nikita Luther calls with 96o from the big blind as they both head to the flop.

Flop – Jd 7d 5s: Luther flops a gutshot straight draw that isn’t to the nuts, she checks to which Williams fires a continuation bet of 50,000 with his top pair and backdoor straight draw. Luther makes the call out of position.

Turn – 7h: The board-pairing 7 of diamonds doesn’t improve Luther’s hand. However, she decides to donk lead for 70,000 since she is aware that she has more sevens in her range. Williams who will also be aware of this, just calls with his top pair and they head to the river.

River – 4d: The river completes a few possible front door straight draws but not the one Luther has. She checks, seemingly content to give up on her bluff. Williams now decides to go for some thin value and bets 150,000 with his pair of jacks. It looks like WIlliams is going to take down the hand right now, right? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see how this crazy poker hand plays out!

During the 2024 Million Dollar Game on Hustler Casino Live, the star-studded field of businessmen and pros created a plethora of huge pots and spectacular hands. Tom Dwan and Peter headlined many of these, including one where Peter rivers a boat against Dwan and decides to fire out a huge value bet. Can Dwan make the right fold or will Peter milk him for thousands and thousands of dollars once more?

When you are looking for bluffs on the river you should use your hands that would block your opponent’s strongest holdings. A great example is when you have a counterfeited bottom two pair, you will be blocking a lot of the full houses that your opponent could have.

Tom Dwan ‘durrrr’ from his online days, is an American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker’s Black Friday hit & he is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Tom is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. He’s often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. He currently has over $6,800,000 in live tournament earnings which puts him in the top 250 on the all time money list. Since 2008, He’s played on over 210 live cash game streams and has won over $4,000,000. He is ranked in the top 2 biggest live cash game winners ever as reported by TrackingPoker.

Peter is a Chinese high stakes poker player and an avid pumpkin eater according to the commentators. He has made multiple appearances on televised cash game shows such as Hustler Casino Live and Bally Poker Live and he is known to want to play any stakes that are on offer. Since 2022, Peter has played on over 20 live cash game streams and has won over $3,400,000. He’s ranked in the top 3 biggest live cash game winners as reported by TrackingPoker.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community, They host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.

This was from the first day of the 2024 edition of the highly anticipated Million Dollar Game, which had a $1,000,000 minimum buy-in. The game was streamed for four evenings straight and featured an array of professionals and businessmen competing against one another. The players included: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Alan Keating, Santhosh Suvarna, Peter, Hook, Brandon Steven, Stanley, Rahul, Steve, Texas Mike, Rahul and a mysterious guest called Thomas.

Preflop: With the $2,000 straddle on, Peter limps under the gun with pocket sevens. Action Dan raises to $6,000 from the hijack with A8o. Tom Dwan calls from the button with 97 of hearts and Peter comes along with his walking sticks.

Flop – Kc 9s 7c: Peter flops the jackpot with his pocket pair on the king-high connected board, as he has hit a set. He checks to the preflop raiser Action Dan, who makes a continuation bet of $12,000 with just one overcard, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Dwan doesn’t know it yet, but the flop is an absolute disaster for him, as he has hit bottom two pair with his suited one-gapper. He raises to $46,000, which Peter just calls. Dan folds, and they go to the turn heads-up.

Turn – Qh: The queen of hearts on the turn brings in jack-ten for the nut straight. Peter checks again with bottom set. Dwan checks back with his vulnerable bottom two pair.

River – Kd: The river brings a board-pairing king of diamonds, which improves Peter to a full house and counterfeits Dwan’s two pair. Peter fires out a bet of $70,000. Dwan only has a bluff catcher now, but will he be able to figure this hand out and fold or will he pay Peter off? Stay tuned until the end of this poker video to find out!

Doug Polk’s version of the octagon is the Lodge Card Club in Texas and he is always involved in crazy & wild hands at his home stomping ground. In this video you’ll find an incredible battle as he faces off against entrepreneur and fan favorite – Tesla. Both players happen to river a flush, but after Tesla shows one of his cards, Doug is baffled as to what he should do!

When you are playing against overly loose-aggressive players, you should do your best to be patient and wait to make a hand to stack them. You do however have to be willing to call down lighter with a hand such as top pair against these types of players over multiple streets. Do not be disheartened or tilted if they happen to make a quirky two pair or straight, as it can be hard to assign normal Game Theory Optimal (GTO) ranges to them when they are playing close to every hand.

Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the 2017 $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000. Since 2014 he has played over 100 times on live streamed cash games and is up over $300,000.

James, also known by “”Tesla”” is an American amateur poker player and entrepreneur who lives in Panama City Beach, Florida, USA. This was his first appearance on The Lodge Live Stream. James is currently down over $740,000 from 3 live streamed cash games and has only played at The Lodge Card Club.\\

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.

The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.

Preflop: Doug raises to $2,500 from the cutoff with Q9o. Bulldog calls from the big blind with A6 of clubs and Tesla calls from the under-the-gun straddle with Q2o.

Flop – Qd 6h 3d: Bulldog checks with his middle pair. Tesla also checks after flopping top pair and a backdoor flush draw. Doug flops a pair of queens himself with a better kicker and a stronger backdoor flush draw. He continuation bets for $2,500 and receives a call from Bulldog. Tesla then check-raises to $10,000. Doug calls with the best hand before Bulldog throws away his pair of sixes as two of them head to the turn.

Turn – 8d: The 8 of diamonds on the turn brings in the flush and gives both players a backdoor flush draw. Tesla continues his aggression from the flop by firing out a pot-sized bet of $30,000. Doug calls as they both see a river.

River – 7d: A fourth diamond appears on the river, giving both players their flush. Tesla fires out again, this time for $75,000 with the worst hand. All Doug has to do is slide in the call, and he will win a pot of over $200,000. But what Tesla decides to do next is insane! Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out and let me know what you think!

When you think about a nit at the poker table, who comes to mind? I doubt any of you thought of former WSOP Main Event final runner-up David Williams! During GGPoker’s Game of Gold in South Korea, Williams finds himself holding two pair and faces a bet on the river from one of poker’s most formidable overlords – Jason Koon. But will Williams manage to make the right decision and call?

As the preflop raiser, you should be careful with continuation betting on medium connected boards when playing against the big blind. Their range will hit that board more frequently which means you will face a higher amount of aggression through check-raises. This puts your holdings that have over cards in a tricky situation and will often mean you need to fold a decent amount of equity.

Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’ is a 38 year old professional poker player from America. He has over $56,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 5 on the all-time money list. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the 2021 $25,000 Heads-Up Championship event. He was also a GGPoker Ambassador for almost 3 years up until 2024.

David Williams is a professional poker player from America. He has over $9,300,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 140 on the all-time money list. His largest cash of $3,500,000 came from the 2004 WSOP Main Event where he narrowly lost out on his first bracelet as he lost heads-up to Greg Raymer ‘Fossilman’. Two years later he captured his first WSOP bracelet after winning the 2006 $1,500 7 Card Stud event for $163,118.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: David Williams raises to 160,000 from the button with KJo. After the small blind folds, Jason Koon defends from the big blind with a dominated JTo, and they head to the flop.

Flop – 8s 7c 3h: Koon flops two overcards and a gutshot straight draw. He checks from out of position and Williams fires a continuation bet of 150,000 with his two broadway cards and backdoor straight draw. Koon calls as they both head to the turn.

Turn – Js: The J of spades on the turn is disastrous for Koon as he has hit top pair but is out-kicked by Williams. He checks and Williams decides to exercise some pot control by checking back.

River – Kh: The king of hearts on the river is an overcard to Koon’s pair of jacks. However, this doesn’t scare him as he takes the betting lead and fires out a bet of 480,000. Williams has improved to a disguised backdoor top two pair. But what will the WSOP Main Event runner-up do? Fold? Surely not! Be a nit and just call, or put in the raise?

Being at the final table of a $25,000 buy-in PokerGO tournament in Las Vegas is likely a dream situation for every poker player. PokerCoaching coach and founder Jonathan Little found himself in that exact situation with $450,000 awaiting the eventual winner! Knowing when to pressure your opponent is crucial to pick up chips throughout the final table and here Jonathan Little demonstrates exactly how to do just that! .

When you are the biggest stack at a final table, you often want to use frequent aggression with smaller bet sizes. This allows you to build the pot to put your opponent all-in by the river. It also forces a competent opponent to overfold, because they will know that they are likely going to be facing bets on multiple streets.

Jonathan Little ‘FieryJustice’, ’Jcardshark’, ‘JonLittle’ is in the top 150 on the all time money list with over $8,800,000 in total live earnings. He has 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, both of which were for over $1,000,000. He won the WPT Season VI (2007-2008) Player of the Year award. Jonathan is a 38 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is also the founder of PokerCoaching.com.

Justin Zaki is a professional poker player from the U.S.A. with over $5,300,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 330 on the all time money list.

The 2024 PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$25,000 – 2024 PokerGo Cup Event #8 – Results

1st: Jonathan Little U.S.A – $453,750 2nd: Justin Zaki – U.S.A – $288,750 3rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2’ ‘JustGTO’ – U.S.A – $192,500 4th: John Riordan – U.S.A – $137,500 5th: Seth Davies – U.S.A – $110,000

Preflop: In a blind-on-blind encounter, Justin Zaki limps in from the small blind with A7o. Chip leader Jonathan Little checks from the big blind with 84o and they both head to the flop.

Flop – 5h 3s 3c: Zaki’s ace-high is still best on the five-high flop. He checks with two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Little fires out a bet of 60,000 with eight-high and a backdoor straight draw. Zaki calls and they continue to the turn.

Turn – 9d: The 9 of diamonds on the turn completes the badugi board. Zaki checks again with the best hand. Little doesn’t pick up any backdoor draws but decides to check it back.

River – Qc: The Q of clubs doesn’t improve either player’s hand. Zaki checks, surely hoping that he can get to showdown cheaply. Jonathan knows his eight-high will be second best if he checks behind, so he decides to bluff and fires out a bet of 150,000 for half-pot. Zaki is an experienced poker player and knows that Little, as the chip leader, can apply a lot of Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on him at this final table. But can he find the correct call with just ace-high? Stay around to the end of this poker video to find out!

Dan Cates also known as Jungleman has proven himself as one of the most formidable online poker players in the world. However, he is known to grace the live tables and in this hand he found himself in the cash game streets on the Lodge Card Club stream in Texas. He is battling against stream regular and action player Taras. Jungleman finds himself in a bit of a predicament after he value bets an overpair on the river only for Taras to turn over his cards and show the winning hand whilst he contemplates his decision. Will Cates be able to talk him into folding the winning hand?

On the turn, when the board is extremely connected and wet, you should look to use large bet sizes such as a pot sized bet or an overbet. A lot of rivers will change the board texture which may not allow you to bet again with hands that were previously strong value hands. Charge your opponents more for them to draw to their straight or flush.

Dan Cates also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $12,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 80 on the all time money list. He famously won the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championships (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022. Since 2012, Cates has played in over 68 live cash game streams and is down over $1,450,000.

Taras is an amateur poker player living in Texas. He has been a regular at The Lodge for a long time and will play stakes from $5/$10 up to $400/$800. He is known to be very talkative at the table. Since 2022, Taras has played in over 20 live cash game streams and is up over $800,000.

Jungleman then starts to talk to Taras in an attempt to get him to lay down the best hand. But will it work? Stay tuned to the end of this video to find out.

Poker players all around the world used to watch Tom Dwan battle it out online at the nosebleed stakes back in the Full Tilt Poker era. Now, on the Hustler Casino Live stream, Dwan is playing against the former No. 1 heads-up player on the planet, Doug Polk. Dwan finds himself on the river with a bluff catcher, facing a great bet size from Polk. Will Polk’s speech play help him get his bluff through?

When you are playing against strong players who will often follow Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategies, it is important to remember that these players will be able to find bluffs in almost all situations. When you have a hand that blocks some of their medium-strength value hands or beats their bluffs you should call more often than you would against someone you perceive to be a recreational player.

Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 36 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker’s Black Friday hit & he is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Tom is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. He is also often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. He currently has over $6,800,000 in live tournament earnings which puts him in the top 250 on the all time money list. Since 2008, Tom Dwan has played on over 210 live cash game streams and has won over $4,000,000. He is ranked in the top 2 biggest live cash game winners ever as reported by TrackingPoker. Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the 2017 $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000. Since 2014 he has played over 105 times on live streamed cash games and is winning over $180,000.

Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’.

This was from the first day of the 2024 edition of the highly anticipated Million Dollar Game, which had a $1,000,000 minimum buy-in. The game was streamed for four evenings straight and featured an array of professionals and businessmen competing against one another. The players included: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Alan Keating, Santhosh Suvarna, Peter, Hook, Brandon Steven, Stanley, Rahul, Steve, Texas Mike, Rahul, and a mysterious guest called Thomas.

Preflop: Tom Dwan raises to $3,000 from the cutoff with JTo. Doug Polk 3-bets to $10,000 from the button with 87 of spades. After the small blind and big blind fold, Dwan decides to call and the two of them head to the flop.

Flop – As Tc 5d: Dwan flops second pair and a backdoor straight draw to Broadway. He checks, and Doug decides to check back after flopping only a backdoor straight draw and backdoor flush draw.

Turn – Ac: The board-pairing ace of clubs on the turn improves Dwan to two pair. He checks for the second time, and Doug fires out a delayed continuation bet of $17,000 with no pair and no draw. Dwan calls with the best hand as they head to the river.

River – 5s: Another 5 on the river double pairs the board. Dwan checks with his pair of tens. Doug is now playing the board with aces and fives and a ten kicker and can only win by betting. Will the former number 1 heads-up player in the world attempt to bluff Durrrr out of this pot, or will he check back and give up? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out.

If you want to do well in online cash games, you must focus on the fundamentals! While there are many crazy poker game variations online, the most important part of online cash games is the preflop strategy. Without a sound preflop strategy, no amount of skill can make up for the losses!

You make pre-flop decisions for every single poker hand, which makes them extremely important. If you make mistakes preflop, you will compound these mistakes by making more on the flop, turn, and river. On online poker sites, you see many more hands per hour than at a live table. This means that missing out on little bits of value could cost you a fortune in the long run!

Preflop poker is not about memorizing exact ranges and trying to replicate it perfectly! It’s about having good fundamentals and good preflop mechanics! You’ll learn when to 3-bet, call, or fold, as well as specifically how you should be thinking before the flop to avoid making mistakes on future betting rounds!

The post My 5 BEST Preflop Tips to CRUSH Online Cash Games first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Linus Loeliger is one of the most feared cash game players in the world have consistently dominated the highest stakes both online and in the live arena. In this hand, we follow the action from Loeliger’s opponent Handz’s point of view. Handz chooses to slow-play the best Texas Hold’em starting hand, but he finds himself in a tough spot with pocket aces after Loeliger unloads the clip. Will Handz’s sneaky play work out well for him, or will his aces get cracked?

When you are deciding whether to slow play pocket aces, it is advised to do so when the stack-to-pot ratio is shallower. This keeps your opponents’ bluffs in and ensures that you are unlikely to fold on almost any flop. It also helps keep your range balanced, as you are not only calling with medium-strength hands but also with the strongest preflop hand in poker.

Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’ is a professional poker player from Switzerland. He has over $7,600,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 200 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $3,900,000 came at the 2022 $200,000 No Limit Hold’em – Coin Rivet Invitational, during Triton Cyprus he finished runner-up to PokerStars sponsored professional Sam Grafton ‘SamSquid’. He has been one of the best online cash game players in the world for many years. Loeliger is known by his online nickname ‘LLinusLLove’. Since 2019, Linus has played on over 12 live streamed cash games and is up over $600,000.

Handz is an American poker player and investor known for his frequent appearances in high stakes cash games on Hustler Casino Live. He has openly attributed the majority of his wealth to fortunate & well timed investments in cryptocurrency and other ventures. Since 2022, Handz has played on over 15 live streamed cash games and is down over $1,300,000.

Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.

This invitation cash game took place between August 4th – 10th, 2024 at the Maestral Resort & Casino – Budva, Montenegro.

Rob Yong, Mikhail Petrov, Tan Xuan and Joe Zou.

Preflop: With a $4,000 straddle on, Handz raises to $10,000 with pocket aces from under the gun +1. Elton Tsang calls from the big blind with pocket sixes and Linus Loeliger 3-bet squeezes from the straddle to $50,000 with a mystery hand. Handz decides to slow play his pocket rockets and just calls. This allows Tsang to set mine with his pocket pair and they head to the flop three multi-way.

Flop – Qs Jh 5d: Loeliger is first to act and fires out a continuation bet of $40,000 with his unknown hand. Handz just calls with an overpair and a backdoor straight draw to Broadway. Tsang, with his pair of sixes now has third pair after two overcards appear on the flop correctly finds the fold. Loeliger and Handz head to the turn heads-up.

Turn – Tc: The ten of clubs on the turn doesn’t introduce any backdoor flush draws, but it does bring in some straights. Loeliger continues with a second barrel of $75,000. Handz picks up a backdoor straight draw and has blockers to ace-king for the nuts. He calls, and they head to the river with almost $400,000 in the pot.

River – 5s: A board-pairing five of spades on the river doesn’t slow Loeliger down. He moves all-in for $202,000 with his mystery hand. Will Handz make the call with his underrepped and disguised overpair to the board? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out and to see what the online poker cash game wizard has!

The post WPH #524: Will POCKET ACES Lose Over $500,000???? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Receiving praise from one of the most decorated and well known poker legends could be a dream for many aspiring poker players. Streaming superstar Ninja finds himself on the receiving end of a rare Phil Hellmuth compliment after slow playing ace-king in a massive pot against fan favorite Alan Keating. But does Ninja’s trap win him the pot as well as Hellmuth’s accolades?

When playing against opponents who you perceive to be weak and passive , it can often be a good play to isolate them with big raises from the blinds with some speculative holdings. Recreational players usually limp their weak hands and raise with their strong hands, this allows you to play very straightforwardly against them by exploiting them whenever they show weakness.

Alan Keating is a well known cash game player often playing in the biggest live cash games and private games around the world, he has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. He has become extremely popular amongst poker fans partly due to the fact that he wins and loses millions of dollars always carrying a smile on his face! Since 2019 Alan has played in over 25 live streamed cash games and is down over $3,200,000. He is currently in the top 5 for amount lost in live streamed cash games.

Richard Tyler Blevins or better known as Ninja, is a 32 year old American online poker streamer, YouTuber and professional gamer. Ninja began streaming as a competitive Halo 3 player. His momentum grew dramatically when he switched to playing Fortnite Battle Royale in late 2017. He has the most followed Twitch channel with over 19,000,000 followers & currently has over 23,900,000 YouTube subscribers.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production.

This special creator’s game featured the likes of Mr Beast, Ninja, Ludwig, XQC, Alexandra Botez, Tom Dwan, and Phil Hellmuth.

Preflop: With a $400 straddle on, MrBeast limps in from under-the-gun+2 with 62 of hearts. Tom Dwan calls from the hijack with 85o. xQc calls from the cutoff with A2o. Winner of 17 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Phil Hellmuth calls from the button with J8o. Ninja is in the small blind with AKo and chooses to call rather than raise. This brings in Alexandra Botez with T7 of clubs before Alan Keating raises to $7,400 with 76o from the under the gun straddle. This forces folds from MrBeast, Tom Dwan, xQc and Phil Hellmuth. When it gets back to Ninja in the small blind, he just calls the raise before Alexandra Botez folds her suited two-gapper, and two of them head to the flop.

Flop – Ac Qh 6s: Ninja flops top pair top kicker with big slick. He checks, and Alan Keating fires out a continuation bet of $3,000 with just bottom pair. Ninja instantly check-raises to $10,000, much to the amusement of the other players. Keating, who never fears playing a huge pot, sticks around with a call.

Turn – 8d: The 8 of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve either player. Ninja checks again, perhaps hoping Keating will fall for the trap and continue bluffing. But will Keating go for an audacious bluff after another overcard appears to his pair of sixes, or will he sniff out Ninja’s tricks and check back to see a free river? Stay tuned for this entire poker hand to see what Keating will do!

The post WPH #523: HELLMUTH is STUNNED!!!!! [Blow-Up INCOMING!] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Rampage Poker can’t help himself from blasting away whenever he senses weakness from his opponents. Whilst playing in a cash game at The Wynn, Rampage finds himself overbetting the river with a blocker to the nuts. Will he get away with it, or will he get his hand caught in the cookie jar and add another epic punt to his resume?

You should use overbets as one of your bet sizes for bluffs and strong value hands. When your opponents face overbets, they are put in uncomfortable and tricky situations that they are not used to. They have to risk a lot compared to what they usually face in their normal games, where people generally bet much smaller.

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,400,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn.

The Wynn Las Vegas is a luxury resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, USA. It was opened in April 2005 and is named after its developer, Steve Wynn. The casino is known for its high-end amenities, exquisite design, and a focus on providing a luxurious experience for its guests.

The Wynn Poker Room is well-known for its upscale atmosphere, providing a great poker experience for all poker players. The poker room at The Wynn offers a variety of poker cash games and poker tournaments, with different stakes to cater to all poker players.



The WPT World Championship Festival usually takes place at the end of the calendar year and brings out many great players such as Phil Ivey, Dan Cates, Mikita Badziakouski, Dan Smith, Isaac Haxton, Brad Owen, Andrew Lichtenberger ‘LuckyChewy’, Chris Moorman ‘Moorman1’, Ben Heath, Daniel Sepiol, Artur Martirosian, Ren Lin, Kristen Foxen, Alex Foxen, Joe Cada, and many more.

Preflop: With blinds at $20/$40 the Villain opens to $100 from the Hijack. Rampage Poker calls with ATo from the big blind and they head to the flop.

Flop – Qc Jd 5d: The queen-high two diamond flop gives Rampage a gutshot straight draw to broadway. He checks and the villain fires a continuation bet of $150 and Rampage makes the call with ace-high and his draw to the nuts.

Turn – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the turn now upgrades Rampage’s hand to a double gutshot straight draw, as any nine or king will give him a straight. He checks and faces a second barrel of $260 from his opponent. This time Rampage check-raises to $1,000 using his ten blocker to represent the nut straight, whilst still having some equity if he does get called. His opponent makes the call, and they head to the river.

River – 3c: The 3 of clubs on the river is a total brick for Rampage who misses his double belly-buster straight draw and is left with just ace-high. As we all know, Rampage isn’t one to give up on a bluff and he fires an overbet of $3,300 into a pot of around $2,500. Will his opponent make the call, or will Rampage get away with another monstrous bluff? Stick around to the end of this poker video to find out!

Big Slick, Anna Kournikova, or just plain old ace-king can be one of the hardest hands to play when deep-stacked and out of position. Brown Balla found himself in this exact spot after he had just called a 5-bet out of position during a high stakes cash game at The Lodge Card Club. But the high stakes regular had some tricks up his sleeve after bricking the flop and turn. Can he find a way to win with just ace high?

When you are playing extremely deep-stacked poker, your 5-betting range should primarily consist of pocket aces and low-suited aces. In order to balance your range you want to make sure that you have some bluffs that block your opponent from having the nuts as well as having the nuts yourself!

Brown Balla whose real name is Eshaan Bhalla, has played only a handful of times on The Lodge Poker live stream. He is often seen on the Hustler Casino Live stream and is willing to play any stakes. He has over $550,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of $171,874 coming at the 2023 World Series Of Poker (WSOP), where he came 4th in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max event.

Alex Jauregui who has previously appeared as “”Alp””, is a high stakes poker player from America who frequently participates on The Lodge Poker live stream at any stakes. He has over $690,000 in live tournament earnings. Alex is up over $670,000 from live streamed cash games in over 20 sessions.

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.

The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.

Preflop: Brown Balla raises to $500 with AK of spades from under-the-gun. Alex 3-bets to $1,500 from the lojack with A4 of diamonds. Nik Airball calls from the hijack with 76 of clubs, and Tricktime calls from the cutoff with 87 of spades. After the button and blinds fold, Brown Balla decides to 4-bet to $8,500 with his big slick. Alex then puts in the rare 5-bet to $21,500 with a game theory optimal (GTO) approved hand. Nik Airball and Tricktime fold their suited connectors before Brown Balla calls, and they head to the flop.

Flop – Ts 9c 7d: The ten-high board misses both players’ suited aces. Brown Balla remains ahead with a backdoor straight draw and backdoor nut flush draw. He checks to the preflop aggressor, Alex, who puts out a continuation bet of $20,000 with just a backdoor flush draw. Brown Balla seems to think his ace-king, a.k.a Anna Kournikova, might still be good as he makes the call, and they head to the turn.

Turn – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the turn completes the badugi board and puts a four-liner to a straight out. Meaning, any player holding a seven or jack would make a straight. Brown Balla seems to think he has more straights in his range as he leads out for a tiny bet of $18,000. Alex doesn’t believe him though as he puts in a min-raise to $36,000 with a worse ace-high. How will Brown Balla respond to this, will he fold with no pair or draw, will he call to see a river, or will he go do something only an insane poker player would do and decide to raise?

The post WPH #521: When Poker Players Go CRAZY!!!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Tony G, one of the initial CoinPoker founders, has never been scared to tussle with the best poker players in the world whether it be in tournaments or cash games. Whilst playing in a Triton Poker cash game, the usually loud-mouthed amateur was silenced after poker professional Mikita Badziakouski raised to a whopping €400,000 as a bluff. An over-the-top celebration could possibly follow if Tony G is able to find this miraculous hero call!

When playing multi-way pots, you should generally play tighter post-flop. In multi-way situations after there is a bet and a call on the flop or the turn, someone is likely to have a strong hand. This forces you to proceed only with the top of your range or very high equity draws. Hands such as second pair or very weak top pairs have to be folded more frequently.

Antanas Guoga or, more commonly known as Tony G is a Lithuanian-Australian businessman and also a part-time professional poker player. Tony G has played on many live poker streams throughout the years such as: Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, The Big Game, and many more. He is known for his theatrics at the table and over the top celebrations. His most famous quote is “On Your Bike” when he stacks an opponent.

Mikita Badziakouski or ‘fish2013’ as he is known online, is a professional poker player from Belarus. He has over $50,800,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 7 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $7,114,500 came at the 2023 World Poker Tour – WPT World Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas, in the $1,000,000 buy-in Big One for One Drop event.

Isaac Haxton or ‘philivey2694′ as he is known online, is a professional poker player from America. He has over $47,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 8 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $3,672,000 came at the $300,000 buy-in 2018 Super High Roller Bowl in Las Vegas. He also won this event 5 years later in 2023 for over $2,760,000. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet that came in 2023, from the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller 8-Max event.

Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.

Preflop: In the final hand of this high-stakes cash game, Tony G raises from the small blind to €22,000 with K9o. Isaac Haxton calls out of the big blind with JTo. Mikita Badziakouski calls from the under-the-gun straddle with Q7o, and they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Kh Js 7c: Tony G flops top pair and fires out a continuation bet of €20,000. Haxton calls with his second pair, and Badziakouski calls with his bottom pair.

Turn – 2d: The 2 of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve anyone, meaning Tony G still has the best hand with his pair of kings. He fires a second barrel of €70,000 into the two high-stakes tournament poker professionals. Haxton correctly folds his pair of jacks, but Badziakouski sticks around with his pair of sevens, and they head to the river.

River – 8d: The 8 of diamonds river completes a possible straight draw, but this doesn’t deter Tony G, who puts out a bet of €120,000. Badziakouski, holding fourth pair, decides to represent that straight by raising to a staggering €400,000. Tony G hasn’t said a word during this hand, but if he finds this hero-call with just top pair, surely we will hear an ecstatic celebration from the amateur poker player. Will he make the call holding a blocker to the nuts, or will the online poker wizard fish2013 get the bluff through? Stay tuned to find out.

The post WPH #520: He Wins €1,000,000 & HUMILIATES Him! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Seth Davies is no stranger to huge final tables against the best players in the world. But he found himself in a rather unique spot on the river with just half a big blind left in his stack when Jonathan Little bet enough to put him all-in.

Thinking about ICM (Independent Chip Model) is crucial during final tables. When someone at the table is extremely short-stacked and you are second or third in chips you should look to play more defensively. If you are facing a raise from the chip leader, you should play more passively with hands like Ace-King, which you would typically choose to 3-bet with. You want to avoid busting before the shortest stack at the table so your strategy needs to adapt accordingly.

The 2024 PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$25,000 – 2024 PokerGO Cup Event #8 – Results

1st: Jonathan Little U.S.A – $453,750 2nd: Justin Zaki – U.S.A – $288,750 3rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2’ ‘JustGTO’ – U.S.A – $192,500 4th: John Riordan – U.S.A – $137,500 5th: Seth Davies – U.S.A – $110,000 6th: Shaniel Stokes – U.S.A – $82,500

Preflop: With blinds at 25,000/50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante, Justin Zaki, the chip leader at this final table, raises from the hijack to 120,000 with A6 of spades. Jonathan Little opts to call rather than 3-bet with AKo in the cutoff. After the button and small blind fold, the action is on Seth Davies in the big blind with A9o. He calls with only 20,000 chips remaining, and they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Th 7d 5d: The ten-high, two-diamond board misses everyone, and Little remains ahead with Big Slick. All three poker professionals check, and they head to the turn.

Turn – Qd: The Q of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve Davies, who checks with ace-high. Zaki, who didn’t hit a pair or pick up a backdoor straight draw, decides not to put in a delayed continuation bet as he follows suit with another check. Little now has a gutshot straight draw and a king-high backdoor flush draw, as well as still having the best hand with ace-king high. He continues to take the passive route & checks as they head to the river.

River -Kc: The K of clubs on the river sees Davies check for a third and final time, likely hoping to get to showdown with his ace-high. Zaki also checks with ace-high and a worse kicker. Little has improved to a pair of kings on the river and fires out a small value bet of 150,000. Davies is visibly distressed as to how to proceed with less than half a big blind remaining. But will he call, getting unbelievably good pot odds, or will he fold and be left with a chip and a chair? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

Charlie Carrel prides himself on his ability to make exceptional live reads. In this hand on PokerGO’s Game of Gold he was heads-up against twitch streamer Lukas Robinson. When they both ended up on the river with just queen-high, will Charlie be able to sniff out the bluff by Lukas?

When you flop a flush draw heads-up that isn’t the nut flush draw, it is usually a good idea to bet, because not only do you get your opponent to fold hands that have some equity, but you also begin to build the pot for when you do hit your flush.

Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77” is a professional poker player from England and has over $9,600,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of £1,600,000 coming at a Triton Poker Super High Roller Series London in a £50,000 tournament. Charlie is a strong believer in live reads & live tells at the poker table and regularly explains his decision-making based on them. He is widely known to be against the Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach to poker, often saying ‘F#&K GTO’ in his YouTube videos. Instead, he focuses on exploitable poker strategies. Charlie’s big break came in 2014 when he took down the PokerStars Sunday Million for over $200,000. He is good friends with high-stakes tournament poker player Ben Heath.

Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker” is a professional poker player from England. He has over $50,000 in live tournament earnings. He is known for being the first PokerNews ambassador, a role that sees him streaming online poker on Twitch. He made a name for himself in 2021 when he became the first poker player to stream his poker sessions for over 1,000 hours across 100 consecutive days.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

Round 2 was the heads-up team battle part of the show – There were 4 teams with three players on each team. After one match, the losing team would put up their next poker player. After one team had lost 3 matches they would be eliminated to the losers bracket with the winning team advancing to the winners bracket. The 3 players on the losing team from the losers bracket would be eliminated from the show.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: With blinds at 20,000/40,000, Charlie Carrel calls with Q8 of clubs, and Lukas Robinson checks his option with Q2o from the big blind, which is the button in heads-up play.

Flop – 9c 4c 3h: The nine-high flop offers no assistance to either player. After both poker pros check, they head to the turn.

Turn – 7s: The 7 of spades on the turn completes the badugi board, but once again neither player fires and they both check with queen-high.

River – 5h: The 5 of hearts on the river completes a four-card straight. This time Robinson decides to overbet for 100,000 into the 80,000 pot. Carrel prides himself on his live reads, but can he find the correct call here? Or will Robinons’ huge bluff get through? Stay to the end of this poker video to find out!

The final table of a poker tournament offers an extremely high return on investment (ROI) due to massive pay jumps, it is vitally important you are bringing your best game to the final table as this is where the most money is won or lost! In this live poker webinar, PokerCoaching founder and head coach, Jonathan Little, reveals 3 of the most common mistakes you MUST avoid!

Whether you frequently find yourself on the final table of a poker tournament or you’re just preparing in advance, it’s essential to have a deep understanding of the change in dynamic at a final table. Due to the strength of players, the varying stack sizes on the table and the ever increasing size of pay jumps, you MUST know where you stand.

It is important that you understand the Independent Chip Model (ICM) and how much your stack is worth in relation to everyone else at the table. It would be a disaster if you were 2nd in chips with 9 players remaining and you bust in 9th! You should always know where you are in the pack and adjust your strategy accordingly.

You need to ask yourself important questions such as: How does my stack size compare against the rest of the table? Is there a short stack? Am I the short stack? How many stacks are bigger than mine? How large is the next pay jump?

The dynamic of the final table will constantly change, especially as players are knocked out. But never fear, Jonathan Little is here to teach you how to change with it! Remember, success in poker is about constantly learning and evolving. Playing on a final table can seem extremely daunting at first, but the more you familiarize yourself with the situation, the easier it will become!

In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

The post 3 MISTAKES To AVOID On A FINAL Table! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 6-24-2024 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Jonathan Little was on the cusp of winning the trophy at a $10,000 buy-in PokerGO Cup event, with only one player standing in his way. That player happened to be Alex Foxen, currently one of the most decorated tournament players in the world. As the stacks dwindled and fewer big blinds remained in play, Little would have to put on a preflop masterclass to unsettle his opponent and take home the title!

When playing heads-up in a tournament, it is important to be aware of whether there is a big blind ante (BBA). With a BBA in place, the small blind has to put in an extra 0.5 big blinds to win 3 big blinds, meaning that the small blind should be playing 100% of their hands.

Jonathan Little ‘FieryJustice’,’Jcardshark’, ‘JonLittle’ is in the top 150 on the all time money list with over $8,800,000 in total live earnings. He has 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, both of which were for over $1,000,000. He won the WPT Season VI (2007-2008) Player of the Year award. Jonathan is a 38 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is also the founder of PokerCoaching.com.

Alex Foxen ‘bigfox86’ is a 32-year-old American professional poker player and is a regular at the highest stakes poker tournaments in the world. He has over $32,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 20 on the all time money list. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the 2022 $250,000 No Limit Hold’em – Super High Roller for $4,563,700.

The PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$10,000 – 2024 PokerGO Cup Event #3 – Results

1st: Jonathan Little U.S.A – $229,500 2nd: Alex Foxen ‘bigfox86’- U.S.A – $148,750 3rd: Dan Shak – U.S.A – $106,250 4th: Jesse Lonis ‘Dangerous22’ – U.S.A – $76,500 5th: Daniel Weinand – Canada – $59,500 6th: Brock Wilson ‘HelloMyMan’– U.S.A – $42,500 7th: Daniel Negreanu ‘Dnegs’, ‘KidPoker’ – Canada – $34,000

Hand 1 Preflop: With blinds at 75,000/150,000 and a 150,000 big blind ante, Alex Foxen is first to act on the button, or small blind in heads-up play. He opens to 375,000 with K9 of clubs. Jonathan Little looks down at AQo in the big blind and raises to 4,050,000, which is enough to put Foxen all-in. Foxen folds his suited king, and Little drags in the pot uncontested.

Hand 2 Preflop: The blinds are now 100,000/200,000 with a 200,000 big blind ante. Jonathan Little starts by raising from the button to 2,475,000 with KTo. The raise is enough to put Alex Foxen all-in. He looks down at K2o and calls to put his tournament life at risk.

Flop – 8c 7d 6s: The connected flop is great for Little, who picks up a gutshot straight draw. Foxen needs to hit a deuce or some kind of running board pair to split the pot and stay alive in the tournament.

Turn – 8s: A board-pairing 8 of spades on the turn means that Foxen can chop the pot with a seven or six on the river. Little, on the other hand, will be hoping that one of these cards or a deuce doesn’t come, so that he can lift the trophy and take home the lion’s share of the prize pool.

River – Want to find out if Little manages to hold with his king-high and win this PokerGO Cup event? Then stay tuned to the end of this poker video!

During the Million Dollar Game on Hustler Casino Live, Hook and Texas Mike were involved in a pot worth over $1,000,000. We follow this crazy hand from Hook’s perspective after he gets check-raised all-in on the river while holding a straight! But what does Texas Mike have & what will Hook do?

When you are raised on the flop or turn while holding the nuts, it is generally best to just call against most opponents. A 3-bet can telegraph incredible strength and will often result in your opponent making big folds or giving up on their bluffs. Calling with some nutted hands is a good way to balance your range in these situations.

Charles Hook is an American poker player from Philadelphia, USA, who currently resides in Houston, Texas. He is a regular in some of the highest-stakes cash games in the world, both live and online. Hook has over $925,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of $216,814 coming at the $111,111 Big One For One Drop at the World Series of Poker for $216,814.. Since 2019, Hook has played in over 5 live streamed cash games and has lost over $1,000,000.

Michael Moncek or “Texas Mike” is from Chicago, Illinois, USA. Moncek has over $1,800,000 million in live tournament earnings with two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. The first was from the $1,500 Limit Hold’em event in 2022 where he won $145,856. The second was from the $5,000 No Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha event in 2023 where he won $534,499. He also has WSOP Circuit rings. Since 2023, Mike has played in over 7 live streamed cash games and has lost over $2,000,000.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.

This was from the first day of the 2024 edition of the highly anticipated Million Dollar Game, which had a $1,000,000 minimum buy-in. The game was streamed for four evenings straight and featured an array of professionals and businessmen competing against one another. The players included: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Alan Keating, Santhosh Suvarna, Peter, Hook, Brandon Steven, Stanley, Rahul, Steve, Texas Mike, Rahul, and a mysterious guest called Thomas.

Preflop: With the $2,000 straddle on, Hook raises to $6,000 from under-the-gun+1 with 87 of clubs. Handz calls from the cutoff with T9 of clubs, and Texas Mike defends his under-the-gun straddle with a mystery hand.

Flop – As 5h 4c: Texas Mike checks with his mystery hand. Hook has flopped a gutshot straight draw to the nuts and a backdoor flush draw. He decides to continuation bet for $5,000. Handz folds his suited connector, but Texas Mike makes the call.

Turn – 6s: Texas Mike checks again on the 6 of spades turn. Hook has turned the nut straight and fires a second bullet of $16,000. Mike chooses to check-raise to $52,000 with his mystery hand. Hook opts to just smooth call the raise and they head to the river.

River – Ah: Texas Mike checks on the A of hearts river. Hook now loses to any full house; however, he goes for some value with his straight and overbets for $160,000. Texas Mike then check-raises to $734,000, putting Hook all-in. What does Texas Mike have here, and will Hook call or fold? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

Punting for Rampage Poker seems to be a common occurrence when he plays high stakes poker on the Hustler Casino Live stream. In this hand, he played a massive pot against businessman Brandon Steven, who rivered a flush and faced a massive raise from the poker vlogger. Was this a typical Rampage punt or did he find a masterful bluff? You decide!

When you are in the small blind or big blind with a straddle on, it’s crucial to remember to raise bigger than you usually would. This aims to maximize fold equity due to the fact that you’ll be out of position for the entire hand.

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,40,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a December 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn.

He is the co-owner of two hockey teams. He has over $6,700,000 in tournament earnings, putting him in the top 230 worldwide. His biggest cash of $2,820,581 came in the $250,000 Super High Roller at the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

Preflop: With an $800 straddle on Brandon Steven looks down at 42 of diamonds in the big blind and raises to $2,300. Rampage Poker, the player in the straddle, 3-bets to $7,000 with AJo, and Steven calls with his low-suited one-gapper.

Flop – Ks Td 9d: The king-high connected flop doesn’t give either player a pair, but it does give them both draws. Steven checks with his flush draw, while Rampage fires a continuation bet of $6,000 with a gutshot straight draw to the nuts and an overcard. Steven calls, and they head to the turn.

Turn – 6h: The 6 of hearts on the turn doesn’t improve Steven or Rampage’s hand. Both the high-stakes cash game players check, and they head to the river.

River – Qd: The Q of diamonds river completes both players’ draws. Steven now has a four-high flush, while Rampage has a broadway straight. Steven decides to lead out for $23,000. Rampage then raises to $128,900 with his straight, enough to put Steven all-in. But will Steven lay down his baby flush? Stay tuned for this entire poker video to find out!

The post WPH #515: Rampage Poker HATES Money! [INSANE Punt] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Daniel Negreanu has built his huge bankroll around making thousands of mind-boggling calls and folds on the felt. He is known to be able to read situations perfectly and will often call out his opponent’s exact holdings! In this hand, only Kristen Foxen stood between him and another PokerGo title. Could Negreanu use all of his experience to make an insane read and lay down a monster hand on the river?

When playing against strong, competent opponents, you should be careful about betting too thin for value when your opponent can often have the nuts in their range. Strong poker players will recognize this and will find these situations and may bluff you off your marginal holdings.

Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs’ or ‘KidPoker’ is in the top 8 on the poker all time money list with over $52,000,000 in total live earnings. He has 6 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. Negreanu is 49 years old and originally from Toronto, Canada but resides in Las Vegas, U.S.A. Negreanu grew up playing primarily cash games and has appeared on many popular poker shows such as High Stakes Poker, High Stakes Feud, Poker After Dark, and High Stakes Duel (he won the most recent season, beating Eric Persson and Doug Polk and claiming $200,000 as well as the championship belt). Daniel is now a GGPoker ambassador after leaving PokerStars where he was an ambassador for nearly 12 years.

Kristen Foxen ‘krissyb24’ is a Canadian professional poker player with over $7,500,000 in live tournament earnings. She has 2 WSOP bracelets, her first came from the $1,500 6-Max No-Limit Hold’em Bounty in 2016, and her second was from the $2,500 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max in 2020.

The PGT Kickoff series was a series of six $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments played from January 2-7, 2024, and was hosted at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas.

$10,000 – 2024 PGT Kickoff Event #5 – Results

1st: Kristen Foxen – Canada – $165,000 2nd: Daniel Negreanu ‘Dnegs’, ‘Kidpoker’ – Canada – $105,000 3rd: Samuel Laskowitz – U.S.A – $70,000 4th: Aram Zobian ‘Aggro_Aram’ – U.S.A – $50,000 5th: Alex Foxen ‘bigfox86’ – U.S.A – $40,000 6th: Masashi Oya – Japan – $30,000 7th: Eric Baldwin ‘basebaldy’ – U.S.A – $20,000 8th: Dylan Linde ‘ImaLucSac’ – U.S.A – $20,000

Preflop: During heads-up play in this PokerGO Tour event, Daniel Negreanu limps in with QJ of diamonds from the button, which is also the small blind when playing heads-up. Kristen Foxen decides to check with K2o from the big blind, and they both head to a flop.

Flop – Ad Jc Tc: Foxen flops a gutshot straight draw to broadway on this wet & connected flop. After she checks, Negreanu bets 60,000 with his second pair, a gutshot straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Foxen sticks around with a call, and they head to the turn.

Turn – Qh The Q of hearts on the turn is disastrous for Negreanu as he improves to two pair while Foxen improves to an ace-high straight. Both players check, and they head to a river.

River – 5s The 5 of spades on the river doesn’t bring in the front door flush. Foxen now looks to get some value from the nuts as she fires out a bet of 250,000 into the 300,000 pot. Negreanu begins to think out loud, giving a rare insight into what goes on in the mind of a poker wizard. Will he be able to get away from a disguised two pair after playing the hand so cautiously? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see if he folds or calls!

A Triton Poker title had eluded Jonathan Jaffe and Brian Kim for many years. Still, the two American professionals managed to navigate their way down to heads-up in this $50,000 bounty tournament. In the first hand of heads-up play, Kim ran a huge bluff against Jaffe, but could Jaffe hold on for three streets to take the title home?

Pot odds are very important when making decisions at any point in a poker hand. For example, when facing a decision on the river and you are getting 2:1 pot odds you only have to be right 33% of the time. When you are at the top of your range you should often make the call.

Jonathan Jaffe is an American professional poker player and a regular at the highest-stakes poker tournaments worldwide. He has over $11,900,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. This was his first victory at a Triton Poker series. Jaffe is also one of our coaches at PokerCoaching.com!

Brian Kim is a professional poker player from America. He has over $6,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 300 on the all-time money list. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, from the 2022 $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em – High Roller (Online Bracelet Event) for $119,000.

The Triton Monte Carlo Series was held at the Monte-Carlo Sporting / Salle Des Étoiles, and it had 13 events with buy-ins from $25,000 up to $200,000 in No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha.

Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more

This was a Turbo Bounty Event. Every elimination earned the player who knocked them out an extra $20,000.

$50,000 – 2023 No-Limit Hold’em Bounty Turbo – Results

1st: Jonathan Jaffe ‘Iftarii’ – U.S.A – $501,000 2nd: Brian Kim – U.S.A – $359,000 3rd: Leonard Maue ‘Grozzorg’ – Germany – $233,000 4th: Viacheslav Buldygin ‘VbV1990’ – Russia – $176,000 5th: Aleksejs Ponakovs ‘APonakov’ – Austria – $136,000 6th: Michael Soyza ‘Soyza’ – Malaysia – $106,000

Preflop: In the very first hand of heads-up play in this Triton turbo bounty poker tournament, Brian Kim calls from the small blind with T4o. Jonathan Jaffe checks from the big blind with Q6o, and they both head to the flop.

Flop – Kd 6s 2s: Jaffe flops best with second pair on the king-high two-spade board. He checks, and Kim fires out a bet of 200,000 with no pair or draw. Jaffe calls to see the turn.

Turn – 3d: The 3 of diamonds on the turn brings the appearance of a second flush draw. Jaffe checks once more with his pair of sixes. Kim, having picked up a backdoor gutshot straight draw, decides to fire a second barrel of 700,000. Jaffe puts in another call, and they head to the river.

River – As: The As on the river completes the front door flush and results in another overcard for Jaffe, whose pair of sixes are now third pair on the board. After he checks, Kim announces all-in for 2,425,000. If Jaffe calls, he would take home his first Triton Poker title and the $500,000 that goes with it. But can he sniff out Kim’s bluff, or will he fold and keep Kim alive in the hunt for the title as well?

The post WPH #513: INSANE READ By Jonathan Jaffe!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In the world of Texas Hold’em, mastering the strategic play of suited connectors can pose a considerable challenge! Despite being one of the prettiest hands in poker, it’s important to understand the intricacies of suited connectors and avoid the temptation to underplay or overplay each and every situation!

In this live poker webinar, PokerCoaching founder and head coach, Jonathan Little, is here to give you a deep understanding of some of the biggest mistakes you MUST avoid when playing your suited connectors!

One of the main complications that arises with suited connectors is the wide range of situations you may find yourself encountering at the poker table, both preflop, flop, turn & river! Due to the inherent nature of being very draw-heavy, both suited and connected, the complexity of suited connectors can quickly start to stack up!

As a result, there is no one-size-fits-all scenario, and being able to adapt on the fly is critical. Failure to take into account essential variables, including stack sizes, potential draws, table position, and the tendencies of opponents can lead to costly errors that will significantly impact your profit at the poker tables!

Mastering the art of playing suited connectors is fundamentally about recognizing the situations to avoid. The allure of suited connectors, with their aesthetically pleasing potential, can make folding that much harder. Remember to be patient and stay disciplined!

In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

David Peters, a master at getting value from his strong hands against any caliber of a poker player, showcased his skills during a high-stakes tournament at the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas. Peters has already guaranteed himself a podium finish when he decides to get involved in a huge pot against the chip leader, Kristen Foxenm, who is one of the best female poker players of all time. Will Peters be able to extract maximum value with the top two pair against one of the best female poker players in the business?

When you are trying to emulate Game Theory Optimal (GTO), you should be choosing to 3-bet from the big blind with many off-suit hands that contain a high and a low card, especially when the stacks are around 30 big blinds effective. They perform better as 3-bets than calls, allowing you to apply significant Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on your opponents who will generally have a wide range if they have opened from late position.

David Peters ‘SilentAssassin’ is a 36 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is in the top 10 on the all-time money list with over $45,700,000 in total live earnings. He has 4 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, his 1st came in a 2016 $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) event for $41,557, 2nd was a 2022 $10,000 Heads-Up NLHE (Online) event for $360,480, 3rd in a 2021 $7,777 NLHE Lucky 7s High Roller (Online) event for $283,940, and his 4th in a 2022 $100,000 High Roller Bounty NLHE event for $1,168,810.

Kristen Foxen is a Canadian professional poker player with over $7,300,000 in live tournament earnings. She has 3 WSOP bracelets, her first was from the $1,000 Ladies Championship Event in 2013 where she won $173,922 her second came from the $1,500 6-Max No-Limit Hold’em Bounty in 2016 where she $290,768, and her third was from a $2,500 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max online event in 2020 where she won $356,412

The 2024 PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$15,000 – 2024 PokerGO Cup Event #7 – Results

1st: David Peters ‘SilentAssassin’ U.S.A – $315,000 2nd: Kristen Foxen ‘krissyb24’ – Canada – $204,750 3rd: Brock Wilson – U.S.A – $141,750 4th: Daniel Smiljkovic ‘SmileThHero’ – German – $105,000 5th: Seth Davies – U.S.A – $78,750 6th: Morten Klein – Norway – $57,750

Preflop: As the shortest stack playing 3-handed, David Peters raises to 140,000 from the button with A9 of clubs. After PokerCoaching coach, Brock Wilson in the small blind folds, Kristen Foxen 3-bets to 450,000 from the big blind with A5o. Peters calls with his suited ace, and they head to the flop.

Flop – As 9h 5s: A disastrous flop falls for Kristen. She has flopped top and bottom pair but is behind Peters’ top two pair. She fires a continuation bet of 250,000 and Peters sets the trap and just calls.

Turn – 6d: The 6 of diamonds on the turn introduces a possible gutshot straight. Foxen fires a second barrel of 500,000 with her two pair. Peters smooth calls with two pair once more and they head to the river.

River – 8d: The front door flush draw misses on the 8 of diamonds river, but it does mean any seven now makes a straight. Will Foxen be scared of that straight and check? Or will she put Peters all-in? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

The post WPH #512: HUGE Cooler With $315,000 For 1st! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Have you ever made a mistake at the poker table that haunted you forever? Well, I doubt that mistake cost you over $100,000! In this poker hand from the Hustler Casino live stream, J.R. and Hanks found themselves in a massive all-in pot preflop, and Hanks made an outrageous mistake that you will not believe!

Generally, when there is significant preflop action in front of you, like an early position open and a 3-bet, and you are holding a medium pocket pair, you must be very selective with your 4-bet all-in range. Even if you think the opener is loose, the 3-bettor will generally be strong and will only call you when you are crushed, so folding could be the better option.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.

This 24-hour poker stream took place on 1st December 2023 and aimed to be the first-ever 24-hour cash game live stream. Blinds started at $100/$200 with a $200 big blind ante but with straddles. Action was driven and stakes were raised with popular formats such as the stand-up game and the 72o game being played throughout the stream. This high stakes poker game featured players such as J.R., Matt Hanks, Nik Airball, Alan Keating, Brandon Stevens, Charles Yu, Professor, Andy Tsai ‘Andy Stacks’, Sashimi, Santosh Suvarna, Jboogs, Jibrael, Stanley Tang, Pennzoil Don, Pepe, and Mo.

No player played poker for the entire 24 hours, but Hanks played for the most at 19 hours, then Alan Keating with 16.5 hours closely followed by Nik Airball with 15.5 hours.

Charles raises to $6,000 from the hijack with A5o and faces a 3-bet to $18,000 by J.R. in the cutoff with pocket tens. Next to act on the button is Hanks who chooses to 4-bet rip his entire stack of $110,200 all-in with pocket nines. After the blinds and Charles fold, J.R. makes the call. The two high-stakes cash game poker players agree to run the board out twice, and what happens after the runouts will make your jaw drop.

You would be crazy to miss the outcome of this hand, so watch the entire poker video now!

Dan Cates and Fedor Holz, two titan poker players, faced off during PokerGo’s Game of Gold. A guaranteed bloodbath was ensured when they both flopped trip kings during this Sit & Go!

A big stack can look to keep short stacked players on a final table or a Sit & Go when there are significant ICM implications in play. By keeping them in the tournament they can bully the middling stacks who have to play extremely tight as they wait for the short stacks to bust.

Dan Cates also known as Jungleman is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $12,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 80 on the all time money list. He famously won the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championships (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022.

Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy” is a German professional poker player and a regular in high stakes poker tournaments all around the world. He has over $40,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 15 on the all-time money list. He also has 2 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: Fedor Holz opens to 120,000 from the cutoff with KJo. He finds one call from Dan Cates in the small blind with K9 of diamonds, and the two online poker legends, Jungleman and CrownUpGuy, head to the flop.

Flop – As Kh Kc: Cates doesn’t know it yet, but his trips are dominated on this board by Holz, who holds a higher kicker. Cates checks to the preflop aggressor Holz, who decides not to continuation bet and checks it back to head to the turn.

Turn – 6s: The 6 of spades on the turn introduces a backdoor flush draw. Cates bets 270,000 with his trip kings. Holz decides to just call with his trips, and they head to the river.

River – Tc: The ten on the river brings in the broadway straight possibility. Cates didn’t improve to a full house and will lose this pot if it goes to showdown. He bets 780,000 into Holz. How will the German professional poker player respond to this big bet? Will he fold, call, or raise to put Jungleman to the test for all of his remaining chips?

Nik Airball could have his own highlight reel with his crazy plays, big pots, and outlandish celebrations. In this hand on Hustler Casino Live, Nik decides to blast away in the penultimate hand of the night against Pepe, who was already down over $300,000. How do you think this will go?

When deciding to raise from out of position against limpers, it’s advised to have a linear range. A linear range is one that contains strong, medium-strength and weak hands. It is also often referred to as a merged or condensed range. This means raising strong hands and those that could connect well with the flop, like broadways and suited connectors. Since opponents in position are likely to call, choosing hands that will have good board coverage is important to keep your range balanced.

Nik Airball is an investment banker and an amateur poker player, he occasionally plays at The Lodge Card Club but mainly plays on the Hustler Casino Live poker stream. He will play any stakes, and is often involved in heated table talk with the other poker players. Nik Airball is almost fluent in Mandarin, engaging in table talk with many Mandarin-speaking poker players. He often voices his strong opinions about current trends, topics and scandals in the poker world on social media and poker podcasts.

Pepe is introduced as a music producer and has appeared a few times on the poker stream playing up to $200/$400.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community.

Preflop: With the $400 straddle on, Pepe kicks off the action with a limp from the cutoff with Q9 of diamonds. Raymond calls from the big blind with pocket sevens, while French poker vlogger Yoh Viral calls from the third blind with 87o. Nik Airball decides to raise to $3,000 with T9o from the under-the-gun straddle. Pepe calls the raise with his suited two-gapper, and Raymond calls with his medium pocket pair. Yoh Viral folds, and they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Ks Qc 2s: It’s a terrible flop for Raymond’s pocket sevens as two broadway overcards appear. After Raymond checks, Nik Airball fires out a continuation bet for $6,000 with his gutshot straight draw. Pepe calls with his second pair before Raymond correctly throws his cards into the muck, and they now head to the turn heads-up.

Turn – 3h: The 3 of hearts on the turn doesn’t bring in the flush or any straight draws. It also does not improve Nik Airball’s poker hand, but that doesn’t slow him down as he keeps up the aggression and fires an overbet of $30,000. The turn does not change Pepe’s pair of queens either, but his intuition is correct as he throws out the call to see a river card.

River – 4s: The river is the 4 of spades, bringing in the front door flush. Nik Airball totally whiffs his gutshot straight and is left with just ten-high and a flush blocker. He isn’t going to give up; instead, he announces all in for the rest of Pepe’s $146,875, another massive overbet compared to the size of the pot. Pepe agonizes over this tough decision with just second pair against a hyper aggressive poker player. What does he eventually do? You’ll have to watch this poker video to find out if he calls or folds!

The post 3 HACKS To CRUSH Online Poker Tournaments! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 4-22-2024 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

“”F#&K GTO” protagonist Charlie Carrel battled against cash game crusher Andy Stacks in the very first hand of a Sit & Go for GGPoker’s Game of Gold. Andy found himself in a tricky spot with pocket queens after a disastrous runout and an unorthodox line by Charlie.

In 3-bet pots, it’s usually best not to lead into the preflop aggressor, as their range will generally be stronger with hands like overpairs. However, if you anticipate your opponent will fold too much to a lead or not raise then you can do this with your more marginal holdings

Andy Tsai or “Andy Stacks” as he is more commonly known in the poker world is a popular professional poker player originally from Taiwan who currently resides in Los Angeles, United States. Over the last decade, Andy Stacks has established himself as one of the most recognizable poker faces on live poker streams playing regularly on ‘Hustler Casino Live’ and ‘Live At The Bike’. Andy is known for being an ambassador for GGPoker. He has a very calm and quiet demeanour at the poker table and was given his nickname “Andy Stacks” as he always has huge stacks of chips when playing in live cash games.

Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77” is a professional poker player from England and has over $9,600,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of £1,600,000 coming at a Triton Poker Super High Roller Series London in a £50,000 tournament. Charlie is a strong believer in live reads at the poker table and regularly explains his decision-making based on them. He is widely known to be against the Game Theory Optimal (GTO poker) approach to poker, often saying ‘F#&K GTO’ in his YouTube videos. Instead, he focuses on exploitable strategies. Charlie’s big break came in 2014 when he took down the PokerStars Sunday Million for over $200,000. He is good friends with high-stakes tournament poker player Ben Heath.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.

Preflop: In the opening hand of this Sit & Go, Charlie Carrel opens to 40,000 from the cutoff with pocket fives. Andy Stacks looks down at two red queens on the button and 3-bets to 110,000. After the blinds fold, Carrel calls with his small pocket pair.

Flop – 7h 4h 6s: The seven-high flop with two hearts is great for Carrel, who flops an open-ended straight draw with his fives. He donk leads for 30,000 into the preflop aggressor Andy, whose pocket queens still remain an overpair on the low connected board. Andy also has a queen-high backdoor flush draw to go with his premium pair, prompting him to make the call.

Turn – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the turn completes the flush, but it also gives Carrel the straight. He would upgrade to a straight flush if the 6 of hearts were to fall on the river. Carrel decides to bet 130,000, slightly under half-pot. Andy can’t be pleased with the appearance of this turn card, as many hands in Carrel’s range have now improved to beat him. Nonetheless, he calls again.

River – 5s: The 5 of spades on the river spells disaster for Carrel, as he’s now chopping the pot. However, Carrel attempts to scoop the entire pot and bets nearly the pot, firing out 550,000. Andy now has to decide whether to fold, call, or raise? Curious about what the high stakes cash game crusher will do? Watch this poker video to find out!

There are some poker players we love to see on tilt, and Nik Airball might just be one of them! On Hustler Casino Live Airball gets himself into an awful spot, but can he somehow muster up the wizardry to find a way out or is he doomed into being put on mega tilt?

When you’re out of position with a strong combo draw such as a straight and flush draw, raising is usually preferred over calling. However, if you’re playing extremely deep-stacked and against multiple opponents, you should play more cautiously if your draw isn’t to the nuts.

Nik Airball is an investment banker and an amateur poker player, he occasionally plays at The Lodge Card Club but mainly plays on the Hustler Casino Live poker stream. He will play any stakes, and is often involved in heated table talk with the other poker players. Nik Airball is almost fluent in Mandarin, engaging in table talk with many Mandarin-speaking poker players. He often voices his strong opinions about current trends, topics and scandals in the poker world on social media and poker podcasts.

Mars is introduced as being a snowboard instructor and an amateur poker player, he has often played on the HCL live stream in the past usually up to $50/$100.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.

Pre-Flop Action: Nik Airball opens the action with Q6 of clubs from under the gun with a raise to $300. Raymond calls from the hijack with pocket deuces. Henry joins in from the cutoff with 98o, and Mars calls from the small blind with 86 of diamonds. Finally, Will defends from the big blind with T8 of hearts, and they head to the flop five ways.

Flop – Qd 7h 5d: Mars checks after flopping an open-ended straight draw and an 8-high flush draw. Will checks with his backdoor flush draw, Nik opts not to continuation bet his top pair and checks. Raymond follows suit with his underpair, but Henry decides to fire out a bet of $500 with a gutshot straight draw to the nuts. Mars then check-raises to $2,100 with his huge combo draw. Will folds whilst Nik cold-calls the raise with his top pair and backdoor straight draw. Raymond folds, and Henry calls as three players head to the turn.

Turn – 3h: The 3 of hearts on the turn isn’t one of the cards Mars needed to complete his draw, but that doesn’t slow him down as he continues his aggression by firing out a bet of $10,000. Nik, with his pair of queens has now also picked up a gutshot and opts to make the call as Henry folds. Both Mars and Nik are now heads-up to the river.

River – 4s: The 4 of spades on the river is the best possible card for Mars. Not only does it give him the nuts it also completes a disguised backdoor straight for Nik Airball. Mars now puts in a small bet of $8,000. Nik has to decide how to respond. Will he lean on the side of caution and just call, or put in a raise? If you know Nik Airball, you probably know how this is going to end, but you must watch this poker video to see Nik’s reaction!

There aren’t many better feelings in life than hitting quads at the poker table! When OG poker vlogger Brad Owen rivers quads against Mariano and EZ, he takes a crazy line in the hopes that his opponents will bluff into him. But will it work?

When the board is very wet & dynamic you should often bet larger with your value hands. The nuts will change by the turn or river if any straight or flush completing cards arrive which could result in you possibly having the 2nd best hand. Using larger bet sizes allows you to get more money into the pot whilst you still have an equity advantage.

Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 715,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 172,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player, Brad has started playing more poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live tournament winnings are over $790,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 where he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas

He regularly features on the Hustler Casino Live stream but has started to make more of an appearance on The Lodge Card Club stream. He also has a popular poker YouTube channel with over 151,000 subscribers. Since 2021 he has won over $850,000 from live streamed cash games, he is yet to make a name for himself on the poker tournament circuit as he primarily focuses on cash games.

EZ is a regular on the stream and is an amateur poker player from America. He plays a variety of stakes from $5/$10 to $200/$400.

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock.

The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.

Pre-Flop Action: The action folds to Mariano Poker on the button who raises to $600 with AQo. Brad Owen looks down at pocket eights in the big blind and calls, EZ in the straddle opts to call with the Doyle Brunson special, T2o, as they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Ks 8s 3h:

Brad flops a beautiful middle set with his snowmen and checks. EZ follows suit with a check to the aggressor. Mariano does not take the bait with his ace-high and he wisely checks behind.

Turn – Th: The T of hearts on the turn introduces two flush draws on the board. Brad now takes the initiative by leading for $1,200. EZ, having paired his ten, decides to make the call. Mariano, who has picked up a gutshot straight draw, also calls to see the river.

River – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the river brings in the backdoor flush and upgrades Brad’s set of eights to quads! He remains stoic like a true professional poker player and after some time he checks with four of a kind to EZ, who is also happy to check hoping to get to showdown cheaply. Now, Mariano has just ace-high after missing his gutshot straight draw. But what will he do? Brad must be praying for a bet, but will the fellow poker vlogger fall for Brad’s trap, or will he check it back? Watch this poker video to find out!

Rampage Poker is no stranger to monsters, be that monster pots, monster hands, or monster punts! Playing on Hustler Casino Live during a game of ‘Win The Button’, Rampage flops trips in a four-way pot and is delighted to see Jibrael lead into him; how will the poker vlogger win the maximum from this amateur player?

When you have a medium strength hand you should try your best to control the size of the pot by using smaller bet sizes. You do not want to unnecessarily bloat the size of the pot as you will often find yourself putting in a lot of money with either the worst hand or a hand that is very vulnerable to being outdrawn!

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 280,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,300,000 in poker tournaments, including a $900,000 win in a December 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn.

Jibrael Hindi is introduced as an amateur poker player from America. He is a lawyer and professional bodybuilder. He has played over 10 times on the stream, mainly playing $25/$50/$100, but occasionally going up to higher stakes. He is over $69,000 in profit on Hustler Casino Live.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community.

The table is playing ‘Win The Button’, which means the player who wins the previous hand will be the button for the next hand.

Pre-Flop Action: Starting from under the gun and yet to win a chip during the stand-up game is Mike X with KQ of hearts, who opens to $300. It folds around to Mariano in the small blind and decides to call with 64 of hearts, prompting Jibrael to join the action with pocket sixes from the big blind. Rampage, also yet to win a chip during this round of the stand-up game, calls with Q8o in the straddle as they head to the flop four-way.

Flop – 8d 8s 2h: The flop comes with two eights, which is gin for Rampage. After Mariano checks from the small blind, Jibrael takes the initiative in the hand and fires out $1,000. Rampage calls with his trip eights, while Mike X folds his two overcards and backdoor flush draw. Mariano quickly folds, leaving just two players that head to the turn.

Turn – 2c: The turn brings a second deuce, creating a double-paired board and giving Rampage a full house, ensuring he will scoop the entire pot. Despite this, Jibrael makes an interesting choice to continue his aggression with his two pair and bets $3,000. Rampage, with eights full of twos, makes the call as they head to the river.

River – Jd: The river brings the jack of diamonds, adding another overcard to Jibrael’s pair of sixes. Undeterred, Jibrael bets $3,000 again. Rampage, still holding eights full of twos, now springs into action and raises to $20,000. Jibrael doesn’t immediately throw his hand into the muck as he notices Rampage is still in the stand-up game. Will this extra bit of information cause the bodybuilder to make a huge mistake? You’ll have to watch the entire poker video to find out!

Nobody likes to feel like they have been angled or hustled at the poker table, including poker vlogger Brad Owen. In this crazy hand, Brad’s opponent leaves his fate up to the flip of a coin! But might a careful choice of words have been a cunning way to trick the poker pro? You decide!

When playing deep stacked cash games and you have a draw to the nuts, you generally do not want to fold, even when facing a huge bet that may not give you the correct odds to continue. If stacks are deep enough and you are playing against a loose opponent you will have great implied odds to double up should you hit your draw.

Brad Owen is a World Poker Tour (WPT) ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 715,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 174,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player Brad has started playing more poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live tournament winnings are over $790,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas.

The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high-limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room – an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby’s room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin.

Pre-Flop Action

With blinds at $5/$10, Brad Owen raises to $30 from middle position with K8 of spades. Both the small blind and big blind choose to call, resulting in three players heading to the flop.

Flop – As Th 2s

Both blinds check to Brad, who has flopped the nut flush draw, he fires out a standard continuation bet of $50. The small blind now reaches for chips and throws out a check-raise to $200. After the big blind folds Brad decides to call with his nut flush draw.

Turn – 3h

The 3 of hearts on the turn isn’t a spade that Brad was looking for. The small blind continues his story, putting out a nearly pot-sized bet of $400. Brad, who still thinks he has the correct implied odds, makes the call, hoping to river a flush.

River – Js

The river jack of spades completes Brad’s king-high flush, giving him the nuts. Now, the small blind decides to slow down and check. Brad, after some deliberation, decides to bet $1,200. Will the small blind make the call? He resorts to flipping a coin to determine the fate of his $1,200. But was this a ploy to angle Brad & try to get more information? Watch this poker video to find out and make your own decision!

Among them is Aleksejs Ponakovs, who seems hell-bent on winning this battle of the blinds at the $200,000 Triton Invitational tournament. But can he find a way to win with just 8-high or will Addamo see through his audacious bluff?

When playing tournaments and you are in the small blind playing with 200+ big blinds, you ought to limp more and be cautious with your medium-strength hands, especially when there is a big blind ante.

He has over $22,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 35 on the all time money list. He has 4 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets.

This Special Triton Invitational poker tournament is a unique $200,000 NLH buy-in that features high-net-worth individuals (generally businessmen/women) and poker professionals battling for huge amounts of prize money and the coveted title & trophy.

Turn – Ac The ace of clubs on the turn completes the obvious broadway straight and presents another overcard to Addamo’s weakening pair of queens. He checks again to Ponakovs, who opts to fire out a second bullet of 19,000. Despite just holding third pair,, Addamo remains unfazed by this almost pot-sized bet and decides to call to see a river.

River – Td The board worsens for Addamo as the ten of diamonds falls, completing a potential broadway straight with any jack. Addamo checks for the third and final time. Ponakovs, who since preflop has been telling the story of a big hand, decides to fire out a three-quarters pot-sized bet of 45,000 with just 8-high. Addamo, who is used to being the one putting other professional poker players in uncomfortable spots, faces his own tough decision. Can this poker wizard figure it out and make the hero call to win this battle of the blinds? Watch the entire poker video to find out!

When 3-betting preflop you should have some bluffs such as suited connectors. This will help balance your range and give you better board coverage on many flops. If you decide to only 3-bet broadway cards then you are lacking a clear nut advantage on any flops that do not contain a high card!

Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’ has over $29,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 25 on the all time money list and has 17 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets which is currently the most that any poker player has won!

The post WPH #502: She HUMILIATES Phil Hellmuth & JY! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

It is Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates facing off against Maria Ho in a battle for $456,000 and to be crowned as the first ever Game of Gold winner! With the runner-up getting nothing, the stakes couldn’t be any higher. This pot balloons up quickly as Maria Ho tries to use her position to outplay the heads-up specialist in Jungleman!

Betting is often a good strategy when you have a strong but vulnerable pair. Low pairs always have the danger of becoming the second best hand at showdown if your opponent has overcards and hits one of them on the turn or river. If you decide to bet you will often get folds from your opponents that have overcards to the board which helps protect your hand from being outdrawn.

Maria Ho is a professional poker player from America. She has over $5,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting her in the top 350 on the all-time money list. She is well known for commentating on a wide variety of poker shows including US Poker Open, Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, and the World Series of Poker.

He famously won the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championships, regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win, in 2021 and again in 2022.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Dan Cates decides to 3-bet from the big blind to 1,150,000 with Q7 of diamonds. Maria calls and they head to the flop, with Ho having slightly more chips than Cates to start the hand.

Flop – 9d 7c 2c

Cates takes the lead by flopping middle pair and keeps up with his preflop aggression by firing out a bet of 800,000. Ho, who has backdoor flush & straight possibilities decides to float and makes the call.

Turn – 4c

When a third club falls on the turn, bringing in a potential flush, Cates decides to relinquish the aggression by checking. Ho, holding just one overcard and the king-high flush draw, now takes the betting lead with a big bet of 2,700,000. However, Cates isn’t going to forfeit this considerable pot that easily and calls to see the river.

On PokerGO’s No Gamble, No Future, poker legends Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth face off. Hellmuth sets the trap when he flops two pair, but will Kid Poker fall for it, or will he find a way to put The Poker Brat on tilt?

When considering whether to fire a second barrel as a bluff on the turn, it’s usually good to have some form of equity, such as a gutshot straight draw. This provides you with some potential outs to improve your hand and possibly win the pot.

Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs’ or ‘KidPoker’ is in the top 5 on the poker all time money list with over $52,000,000 in total live earnings. He has 6 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. Negreanu is 49 years old and originally from Toronto in Canada but resides in Las Vegas, U.S.A. Negreanu grew up playing primarily cash games and has appeared on many popular poker shows such as High Stakes Poker, High Stakes Feud, Poker After Dark, and High Stakes Duel (he won the most recent season, beating Eric Persson and Doug Polk whilst claiming $200,000 as well as the championship belt).

Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’ has over $29,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 25 on the all time money list, he has the most WSOP bracelets (17) and is well known for his antics and outbursts at the poker table.

No Gamble, No Future is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO, and premiered on August 1, 2022. The poker show provides cash game-focused entertainment with a variety of stakes and players partaking. It has featured players such as Phil Hellmuth, Andrew Robl, Eric Persson, Patrick Antonius, Matt Berkey, Nik Airball and Daniel Negreanu.

Pre-flop:

Daniel Negreanu, who is one of the 3 remaining players yet to win a hand in the stand up game, raises 10 times the big blind to $2,000 from the cutoff with J8o. The button and small blind fold, but Phil Hellmuth decides to call with K2o in the big blind as these two poker legends head to the flop.

Flop – Ks 5d 2c

It’s a dream flop for The Poker Brat as he hits two pair. He checks to Negreanu, who throws out a $3,000 continuation bet. Hellmuth decides to call with his top and bottom pair as they both head to the turn..

Turn – 2d

The deuce of diamonds upgrades Hellmuth’s two pair to a full house as he checks again to the aggressive Negreanu. Negreanu doesn’t slow down as he fires out a big bet of $10,000. Hellmuth continues to set the trap by just making the call.

River – 3s

A meaningless three on the river sees Hellmuth quickly check over to Negreanu. But will Negreanu fire that third and final bullet? And what will Hellmuth do? Stay to the end of this poker video to find out!

In this poker hand at The Lodge Card Club, Doug Polk, aka ‘WCGRider,’ is flexing his speech play skills in a bid to manipulate Mike D. The question is, will his silver tongue do the trick?

When you have a tough decision, and your opponent starts talking to you, it is because they are trying to talk you into what they want you to do. When an opponent speaks very clearly, they are usually not bluffing, but if they struggle to put a sentence together, they are more than likely bluffing.

Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000.

Not too much is known about Mike D, but he is introduced as an amateur poker player who has played a few times at The Lodge.

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating round-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.

The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.

Pre-flop:

Everyone folds to Mike D in the small blind who looks down at A5 of clubs, he opts to call the huge $400 double straddle. Doug Polk peeks down at A8o in the big blind and follows suit with a call. Next to act is Alex in the under the gun straddle with K4o, he senses weakness from his opponents and raises to $2,400. This doesn’t deter Mike D or Doug as they both put in the call as they head 3-way to the flop.

Flop – As 4s 2s

The ace-high monotone flop is incredibly wet but no player has a spade. Mike and Doug check their top pairs over to the preflop aggressor Alex, who fires out a continuation bet for $3,300. Both Mike and Doug make the call to see the turn card.

Turn – 3s

A fourth spade arrives which gives Mike D a five-high straight, he checks again over to Doug who also checks. Alex chooses not to double-barrel this turn and checks to see a river.

River – Tc

After a ten comes on the river, Mike D has the chance to scoop this huge pot with a straight if he can get to showdown. He checks for a third time to Doug, who knows that his pair of aces probably isn’t good, fires out a big bet of $11,400. After Alex swiftly folds, the action is back on Mike D. As Mike D looks like he is about to throw in the call to win a pot of almost $40,000 Doug opens his mouth! But what does Doug say? Will it encourage a call or a fold from Mike D? Watch this poker video to find out!

Have you ever wondered how chess superstar Alexandra Botez would fare in a poker tournament? Well, here’s your chance as ice hockey legend Deryk Engelland puts her in a tough spot on the river!

When you are playing in a large pot and you have a short stack you should be aware that it is usually the best play to shove all-in with a poker hand that is likely good but very vulnerable to being outdrawn.

Alexandra Botez is a 28 year old American-Canadian chess player, she became a five-time Canadian National Girls Champion and won the U.S. Girls Nationals at age 15. Recently, she has appeared on both poker cash games and tournament poker streams, one of her first appearances was on the Hustler Casino Live stream with MrBeast, Ninja, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Tom Dwan ‘durrrr’ and Alan Keating where she won over $500,000. She has over 1,430,000 YouTube subscribers and over 1,200,000 Twitch followers.

Deryk Engelland is a 41 year old Canadian former professional ice hockey defenseman. Engelland played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames and Vegas Golden Knights over his eleven-season career in the National Hockey League (NHL). Throughout his career, Engelland was best known for his physical play and fighting abilities.

The 2023 Enclave Celebrity Invitational was a $50,000 freeroll hosted in the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 72-entrant field included celebrities, content creators, professional athletes, business leaders and professional poker players. With the likes of Alexandra Botez, Josh Richards, Bryce Hall, Nik Airball, Pierson Wodzynski, Nick Austin, Andre Drummond, Princess Love, and many more battling it out for the $50,000 prize pool.

Neither player cashed in this event.

Freeroll – 2023 Enclave Celebrity Invitational – Results

1st: Qiyu Zhou ‘Nemo’ – China – $20,000 2nd: William Pulte – U.S.A – $10,000 3rd: Chris Grove – U.S.A – $5,000 4th: Brandon Marshall – U.S.A – $3,500 5th: Nathan Webb – England – $2,500 6th: Joey Hamilton – U.S.A – $2,000 7th: Manny Kess – U.S.A – $1,500 8th: Chase DeMoor – U.S.A – $1,000 9th: Steven Markowitz – U.S.A – $1,000

Pre-flop:

Deryk Engelland limps in with K9 of spades for 20,000 from under-the-gun +1. Following suit, Jessica Canseco in the cutoff takes a similar approach, limping in with K8 of diamonds; Nathan Webb is next to act in the small blind and completes with A8o, Alexandra Botez checks her option with AQo in the big blind and they go 4-way to the flop.

Flop – Kc Qd Tc

Webb and Botez check the extremely connected flop to Engelland, who fires out a bet of 35,000 with top pair and a gutshot straight draw. Canseco, with top pair and a backdoor flush draw, makes the call, while Webb folds from the small blind. Botez, with second pair and a gutshot straight draw, decides to stick around to see the turn.

Turn – Jc

The turn brings in the flush which now also gives Botez the ace-high straight; she checks again to Engelland, who bets 75,000 with the bottom end of a straight. Canseco folds her pair of kings, but Botez decides to just call with her straight.

River – Js

The board pairs on the river, and now the value of Botez’s ace-high straight shrinks even more; she checks for a final time to Engelland. He bets 90,000 with his bad straight which is enough to put Botez all-in. Back on chess superstar Botez with the A-high straight, she will surely call….right?

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants compete across various poker formats, including Sit & Go and Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in amount, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where it was unknown how many gold coins were on offer. The team with the least amount of Game of Gold coins at the end of all rounds would be eliminated.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format SNG. This was unique as it meant there was no ICM (Independent Chip Model) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

Soyza, with bottom two pair makes the call, while Luther folds, as the two poker players go to the turn heads-up.

Turn – 4d With the second diamond coming on the turn Soyza checks, and Iermolcheva decides to check back, possibly waving the white flag in this hand.

River – Td The river brings the backdoor flush and one card to the straight. Soyza’s two pair has now shrunk in value which causes him to check for a third and final time. Now with the ace-high straight, Iermolcheva fires out a bet of 200,000 for just over half pot. Does Soyza call, fold, or even raise? You will have to watch this poker video to find out!

Have you ever hit a royal flush? Not everyone has, but in a recent cash game in Las Vegas, Rampage hit the best hand in poker during a bomb pot. The popular poker vlogger even caught the huge pot on camera!

When you are in a position where your opponents are unlikely to have a super strong hand, it might be a good time to use a small bet size. This allows you to sneak out a little extra value from weak poker hands that would fold to a big bet. Simultaneously, you give some stronger hands and bluffs a chance to raise and re-open the action.

Turn – Kd

The turn completes the flush. The big blind checks once more but this doesn’t slow down UTG+2 who continues for a much healthier bet of $125. Rampage now has the nut flush with a draw to the ultimate royal flush! The big blind also makes the call.

River – Td

What a river card for Rampage who has now hit the best hand in poker – the royal flush!

Is this an unspoken rule of poker streams that should just never happen? Andy Stacks is furious at the newcomer Eric who is gracing the popular Hustler Casino Live stream for the first time. What are your thoughts on what happens? Is Andy right or wrong?

Henry is introduced as a financial professional and has become a regular poker player on Hustler Casino Live. Eric was appearing for the first time on the show and had been invited by Saya Ono, little more is known about him. Andy Stacks is a well known professional poker player & GGPoker Ambassador originally from Taiwan who currently resides in Los Angeles, United States. Over the last decade, Andy Stacks has established himself as one of the most recognizable faces on live poker streams playing regularly on ‘Hustler Casino Live’ and ‘Live At The Bike’. Andy is known for his calm and quiet demeanor at the poker table and was given his nickname “Andy Stacks” from the monstrous towers of poker chips that are almost always in front of him.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the notable poker players to appear on the show have been Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan – durrrr, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk – WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein – GMan, Tony G, and many more.

The Hustler Casino was founded by the late Larry Flynt. It has been operational since June 22, 2000. It is located in Gardena, California about 25km south of downtown Los Angeles. It has poker, table games, and slots.

This high stakes poker hand took place at the Hustler Casino Live casino in Los Angeles, California.

Preflop: The action starts with Henry who opts to raise with K9s from the cutoff, Will defends his big blind with QJo. Eric in the straddle looks down at pocket jacks aka the Jiggities and decides to 3-bet to $6,400. Both Henry and Will decide to call as all three of them head to the flop.

Flop – Kd Kc 9c: Henry couldn’t have really asked for a better flop as he cannot believe his eyes as he flops a full house! Will, who has a gutshot, decides to check to the preflop aggressor. Eric continues to tell his story of strength with a small continuation bet of $6,000. Henry correctly identifies that this is a spot that he should slowplay and elects for a call. Will folds in the big blind.

Turn – Jc: The turn is an absolute disaster for Eric but he doesn’t know it as he now hits a full house too. Eric now thinks he is laying the trap as he decides to get tricky and check. Henry quite rightly wants to keep building a pot and sends out a bet of $15,000. Eric makes an easy call. He doesn’t want to scare his opponent away in case he is bluffing as he believes he has the hand locked up!

River – 2d: The river card changes nothing in their relative hand strength. Eric decides to check again, praying that Henry fires again. His prayers are answered as Henry shoves for $48,500 into the $62,500 pot. Eric snap calls and is shown the terrible news, his full house is no good!

Preflop: Brad Owen opens the action under the gun with a raise to $200 with the not so beautiful 72o. In an ideal situation everyone would just fold preflop for him to collect the easiest $1,400 of his life, but alas in a high stakes poker game that rarely happens and in this case he picks up two callers from the cutoff and button.

Flop – Qc 6d 3c: It’s very unlikely you will hit a good flop when holding the 72o and that is no different here as Brad flops absolutely nothing. This doesn’t slow him down though as he has his eyes on the $1,400 jackpot. He continues his story with a half pot bet of $400. That forces the cutoff to fold but unfortunately for Brad the button decides to stick around for the turn card.

Turn – 8h: Brad Owen now only has to get through one player and continues betting this time for just over 2/3 pot as he fires $1,110 into the $1,575 pot. His prayers are not answered as the button calls once more.

River – 5s: The river provides some promise for Brad as he now has a card that blocks some straights. He decides to fire the third barrel and opts for a $1,700 bet. Will his opponent fold so that Brad can triumphantly reveal the 7-2 bluff and collect the $1,400 prize from his opponents? Watch this poker video to find out!

This crazy poker hand took place during a Triton Poker Cash Game with blinds set at a staggering $1000/$2000! Professional poker player Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl takes on the wealthy businessman in Tan Xuan. Somehow the pot reaches a staggering $529,000 on the flop as both players find a way to get all of the money in, but who will come out on top?

Andrew Robl is a 36 year old American professional poker player, he is in the top 300 on the all time money list with over $5,600,000 in total live earnings. Robl has been on many live streams and is known to be a big winner in some of the highest stakes cash games all around the world. Tan Xuan is a businessman and amateur poker player from China. He has over $8,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. This Triton Poker Series London 2023 Cash Game featured: Andrew Robl, Elton Tsang, Wiktor “”Limitless”” Malinowski, Daniel “”Jungleman”” Cates, Danny Tang & Tan Xuan. This high stakes poker game was held during the Triton London Series at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, United Kingdom, it had 17 poker tournaments ranging with buy-ins from $26,500 up to $200,000 in No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Short-Deck.

Brace yourself for an electrifying poker hand from the 2023 Triton Poker Series London Cash Game at the prestigious JW Marriott Grosvenor House! This intense face-off features poker heavyweights Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl (UTG) and wealthy businessman Tan Xuan, creating a high-stakes battleground between a professional poker player and an amateur.

Pre-flop: With blinds at $1,000/$2,000 and a $2,000 big blind ante, the action kicks off with Robl who decides to make an interesting limp under-the-gun with his pocket queens. Tsang senses weakness in the hijack and opts to raises to $10,000 with his KJo. Xuan in the big blind looks down at A8s and decides that the price of poker needs to go up even further and bumps it up to $45,000! Robl now opts for the tricky limp-raise and fires it up to $120,000. Tsang sensing a trap decides to fold but Xuan came to gamble and decides to make a questionable call!

The Flop: 9s 6s 4s The flop is the most beautiful flop for Xuan as he has now flopped the nut flush. He decides to check in flow to the preflop aggressor praying that Robl will bet. His dream comes to life as Robl opts for a small 20% bet of $50,000. Both players are fairly shallow stacked after the pre-flop action so Xuan decides to put the rest of the money in and sets Robl all-in for $138,000. Robl who is now pretty much pot committed makes the call as the pot swells to a huge $529,000. He is quickly delivered the bad news but will the run out of the board help him ship over half a million dollars? Watch this video to find out!

Two fan favorites in Alan Keating & Eric Persson face off on the popular Hustler Casino Live stream and they play a huge $478,000 pot. Who will come out on top?

Alan Keating is a well known cash game player often playing in the biggest cash games live and private games around the world, he has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. Eric Persson is the owner of Maverick Gaming which has 19 card rooms in Washington state as well as some in Nevada and Colorado, he has managed a lot of Casinos and has recently burst onto the high-stakes poker scene. He is often involved in table antics, especially table talk which began against Phil Hellmuth in April 2022 at the $25,000 PokerGo heads-up showdown, Eric and Phil exchanged vulgarities which some said went too far.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the notable players to appear on the show have been Phl Ivey, Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk, Garrett Adelstein, Tony G, and many more. The Hustler Casino was founded by the late Larry Flynt. It has been operational since June 22, 2000. It is located in Gardena, California about 25km south of downtown LA. It has poker, table games, and slots.

This jaw-dropping poker hand from took place during a high-stakes cash game at the renowned Hustler Casino in California! In this riveting showdown, we see two fan favorites in Eric Persson and Alan Keating face off!

Pre-flop: This hand had a crazy amount of straddles on as the blinds were at $200/$400/$800/$1600/$3200. Persson kicks off the action from the third blind with a raise to $18,200 with AQo and Keating decides to defend in the straddle with pocket 5s.

The Flop: Jc 5d 2c The flop is a beautiful one for Alan Keating as he has now flopped a set combined with the fact that Persson continues to fire with a bet of $20,000. Keating decides to correctly slow play and just decides to call.

The Turn: 7h Undeterred and with a card that hasn’t helped his hand Persson continues to tell his story with a $50,000 bet. Keating makes the call.

The River: 7d Keating has now been upgraded to a full house which is a disaster for Persson as he decides to shove for $150,000. Keating snap calls and Persson is left with a gaping hole in his bankroll!

The post WPH #492: MEGA TILT As Eric Persson PUNTS $300,000! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This high stakes poker hand from Hustler Casino Live needs to be watched to be believed! Andy Stacks takes on the infamous Martin Kabrhel and decides to run a rather crazy 3 barrel bluff, but will it work?

Jonathan believes that the preflop raise from Andy Stacks might be a little bit loose with just J9 offsuit as there are still 4 people left to act. You should use suited hands to raise as they give you more equity to hit flushes!

He likes Andy’s bet on the flop as usually when you have a draw that completely lacks showdown value you usually want to bet as you can get a lot of better hands to fold and if you are called you still have equity to make a very strong hand!

When you are playing in extremely deep stacked cash games your semi bluffs should come from hands that are drawing to the nuts or very close to the nuts! Andy has a pretty bad draw with no backdoor clubs on the flop.

Jonathan would have preferred Andy to use a hand like AT to bluff with because at least it is drawing to the nuts and may also be strong enough to win if he were to hit an ace.

He does like the fact that Andy now bluffs the river when the ace comes as it puts a lot of Martin’s hands in the world of pain, like the one that he has! The shove from Martin is fairly confusing as he has a good hand to bluff catch with especially as his shove will give Andy incredible odds to call if he were to have a stronger hand.

The action in this crazy high stakes poker hand starts with Andy Stacks raising from the cutoff to $2,400 with J9o. Infamous table talker Martin Kabrhel deciding to defend from the 3rd blind with KJc.

The flop gives Martin a monster pair and a flush draw and gives Andy just a gutshot. Andy continues to tell his story with a $2,300 bet but Martin is going nowhere! He decides to put in the check raise to $7,000. Andy then responds with a 3-bet to $20,000! Martin makes the easy call.

The turn brings no help to Andy as it is an off suit 6. Martin checks to him and Andy decides to keep bluffing and bets $42,000 with just jack high! Martin again makes the call.

The river is an off suit ace which can’t be too thrilling for Kabrhel. He checks once more and Andy decides to go for the third barrel and fires $150,000 on the river! What will Martin do when facing such a large bet? Watch this video to find out more!

The post How I WON $154,700 At The Poker MASTERS! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 12-14-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Have you ever folded pocket kings preflop? Not many people have, especially when they only have 19 big blinds in a poker tournament! Watch to see if Juan Pardo can make the correct fold in a $125,000 Triton Poker Main Event in London. He gets a bit of extra information in this poker hand that he shouldn’t have had. That might make this decision a little easier. What do you think?

Only 6 players remain in the $125,000 Triton Main Event and the ICM pressure is huge as the pay jumps for each place are extremely significant. Juan Pardo will be fully aware of this which could factor into his decision as he sits there with the 2nd best hand in all of poker.

Jonathan agrees with Chidwick’s decision to cold 4-bet from the small blind vs the 3-bet from Thorel. AK suited is a poker hand that should be more than happy getting all of the money in for less than 40 big blinds preflop. One of the first things you learn as a poker player is that when it goes raise, re-raise and then re-raise from 3 different players – you should fold almost everything! This includes Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates’ pocket jacks that he correctly pitches into the muck very quickly when facing the 4-bet from Chidwick.

Jonathan is shocked that Juan Pardo managed to find the correct fold with pocket kings in this spot. You just have to know so specifically that one of your opponents has aces to find this fold. Jonathan says that Chidwick is often going to use Ax as 4-bet bluffs and even his 4-bets for value which then will block the combinations of specifically pocket aces that Thorel could have.

Jean-Noel Thorel is a 76 year old French amateur poker player. He has over $13,800,800 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list, and 2nd on the French all time money list. He is an entrepreneur and pharmacist. He is the founder and CEO of Naos, a French cosmetics company. This poker result was a career high score for him.

Stephen Chidwick is a 34 year old professional poker player from England. He has over $53,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him top 5 on the all-time money list.

Juan Pardo Domínguez is a professional poker player from Spain. He has over $8,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him 169th on the all-time money list.

This Triton series was held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, United Kingdom, it had 17 events ranging with buy-ins from $25,000 up to $200,000 in No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Short-Deck.

This hand took place during the 2023 $125,000 Triton Poker Series London Main Event! The blinds were at 200k/400k/400k(Big Blind Ante) and this preflop war will have you on the edge of your seat!

Pre-flop Fireworks: Juan Pardo, a high stakes poker professional from Spain, opens the action with a raise to 400,000 from under the gun, but Thorel in the hijack quickly responds with a 3-bet to 1,000,000. The plot thickens as Stephen Chidwick in the small blind decides to make his move, and 4-bets to 2,300,000. In an unexpected turn, Thorel makes an out-of-turn shove, putting his entire stack of 7,700,000 on the line. With this extra information Pardo decides to make the fold, and Chidwick now faces a crucial decision for almost 20 big blinds. Find out what they all had by watching this poker video!

The post WPH #490: Folding KINGS Preflop – NO WAY???? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Watch how World Series of Poker Main Event champion and poker legend Chris Moneymaker fares on the Hustler Casino Live during ‘Moneymaker Week’.

Jonathan talks about generally how you should have a 4-bet or fold strategy preflop when you have marginal hands that play well postflop. You should want to take the betting lead and potentially pick up the pot right there! He agrees that Moneymaker has clearly sensed some weakness in the hand and actually likes his 4-bet to try and take the pot down.

Both players on the turn have a clear marginal made hand which is why Jonathan agrees that both players should check, you should be looking to play small to medium sized pots with your marginal made hands. Having said that, Dentist Dave does decide to lead out on the turn which Jonathan is not a huge fan of. He is really only going to get called by a jack or better and high equity draws. The bet does not accomplish much.

Jonathan discusses his thoughts on what he thinks it means when players act extremely quickly. This can often indicate a medium strength hand. However when good and accomplished players like Chris Moneymaker act fast, they are doing it because they assume that the speed in which they act is going to induce the action from their opponent that they want, whether that be folding or calling.

Dentist Dave’s call on the river makes sense due to his pot odds and the line in which Moneymaker has taken. A lot of Chris’ aces would have bet something on the flop.

Chris Moneymaker, is an American professional poker player. He won the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $2,500,000, and is seen by many as the reason for the poker boom which saw people all over the world start to play poker. He has over $6,100,000 in live tournament earnings which puts him in the top 250 for live earnings. Does this make poker a sport?

Dentist Dave is introduced as a Hustler Casino Live regular, he is a businessman from Arizona and plays all the big games at The Hustler Casino Live.

This week on Hustler Casino Live was advertised as ‘Moneymaker Week’ as it was his debut on the stream. Moneymaker was scheduled to play around 3 days of live streams. But he ended up getting too intoxicated during the game and this resulted in him not playing on the stream again that week.

Other notables poker players on the stream were Johnnie Vibes, Alec Torreli, Mariano, & Rob Kuhn.

Pre-Flop: Popular YouTube poker vlogger Johnnie Vibes initiates the action with a raise to $600 with his KTo from early position. Rob Kuhn responds with a three-bet to $2,200 with Q8cc. This does not thin the field as intended and the as Jibrael & Dentist Dave join the party. WSOP Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker senses a spot to squeeze and decides to cold 4-bet to $8,000 with a questionable QJo. This clears out the field apart from Dentist Dave who decides his KJh is strong enough to continue and he makes the call.

The Flop: As Jd 3s Dave checks in flow to the aggressor. Moneymaker decides to slow down the action with a check behind on this flop as he has good showdown value with his pair of jacks.

Turn: 6c Sensing weakness Dentist Dave takes the betting lead on the turn firing out $7,000 into the $21,000 pot. Moneymaker makes the easy call.

River: 4h The brick on the river slows Dentist Dave down and he decides to check. Moneymaker who now believes he has the best hand decides to shove for $9,450 (all-in). Will Dentist Dave find this epic hero call with the best hand? Find out in this poker video!

The post WPH #489: MONEYMAKER Owns HIMSELF In This WILD Poker Hand! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Watch as famous poker vlogger Ethan ‘Rampage Poker’ Yau finds his best way to punt his chips off during a Hustler Casino Live stream!

This is a unique format in which they are playing a $25/$50 Ante Game, which means every player has to post $25 before the hand (apart from the button who posts $50). The players only have to call the $25 extra to enter the pot and make up the big blind. The action starts left of the button which is considered UTG.

Jonathan discusses how ranges should be wider in this type of format due to how much dead money is already in the pot preflop. You should be looking to play hands that can make the nuts, or close to! Having said that he is not a huge fan of the limp/re-raise from Rampage. He has a hand that should much prefer just calling the $600 raise. Jonathan likes the min click 4-bet raise from Luda Chris with his ATo. It’s not a great hand to just call with and against such an aggressive opponent such as Rampage Poker you need to find a wider range of hands to bluff 4-bet with.

In the second poker hand Jonathan thinks Rampage is far too wide in raising Q7h, you need to pick hands that have better playability postflop. On the JJ4ccx flop, Francisco decides to lead with his 66 which Jonathan thinks is a mistake. You generally will only be called against opponents that either have you crushed or extremely good equity against your small pair. There is also a chance that you may get raised which turns your hand into a bluff catcher in a potentially big pot by the river. Rampage uses an interesting small raise size on the flop which signals to his opponent’s that his hand is so strong that they are drawing extremely thin to beat him. The problem is in games that everyone is extremely loose then you are still going to get called very frequently. On the river Jonathan thinks the only way that Rampage could get Francisco to fold a full house would be to put maximum pressure on him by putting him all-in or very close to. Remember that a lot of players do not like to fold full houses!

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 270,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,100,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a December 2022 WPT High Roller at the Wynn.

It’s always a dream spot when you are facing a 5-bet and have pocket aces! This is exactly the situation that popular poker vlogger Rampage Poker found himself in at the Thunder Valley Casino against his good friend and fellow poker professional Stephen Song. Can Rampage find a way to get maximum value and stack Song? Find out in this video!

Jonathan discusses the differences in your raise sizes preflop depending on your stack depth and position. As Rampage is extremely deep with the button he could have raised even larger to help reduce the stack to pot ratio (SPR) which would make it easier for Rampage to find a way to get all of the money in by the river (or even earlier!)

When Rampage decides to use a small bet size on the turn after the flop has checked through he is essentially saying that he now has the range advantage and can start betting for thin value but also with some bluffs. With Song just calling on the turn his range is looking more like a hand that is pocket kings or ace king. He will also have some slow played traps like pocket queens or pocket jacks but these will make up a smaller part of his range due to there being fewer combinations of these hands compared to kings or ace king.

Jonathan covers an interesting topic on how you should always look to use the largest ‘small size’ when betting for value that your opponent will still call. He thinks that Song would have called $2,000 on the turn rather than just $1,500 so this could have been a spot that Rampage could have earnt himself an extra $500!

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 264,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,100,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a December 2022 WPT High Roller at the Wynn.

Rampage’s opponent in the cutoff is his friend Stephen Song. Song is a professional poker player from the U.S.A. He has $5,519,065 in live tournament earnings putting him 295th in the all-time money list.

Rampage mentions he was at the Thunder Valley Casino for a RunGood poker series. This series brought about this large cash game. Rampage cashed one event in this series which was the $2,500 No Limit Hold’em – Main Event. He came 31st for $5,565.

The Rungood poker series (RGPS) took place between 13 – 31 July 2023 and had 17 events with buy-ins ranging from $150 to the $2,500 Main Event.

Thunder Valley Casino is located in Sacramento California and offers poker, table games, and slots. There is also a hotel and a golf course linked to the property.

Preflop: In this high-stakes cash game with blinds at $10/$25/$50, action kicks off with Stephen Song in the cutoff who makes a standard raise to $150. Villain 1 on the button throws in a 3-bet to $500, but the real fireworks begin when our Ethan ‘Rampage Poker’ Yau in the small blind joins the fray with a cold 4-bet to $1,500. Song responds with a rare 5-bet to $3,000, and after Villain 1 folds, Rampage makes the call with his pocket aces.

The Flop: Qh Qc Jd The flop is not an ideal one for our hero as he now loses to a lot of the hands that Song may have chose to 5-bet with. Rampage checks and Song interestingly decides to check behind.

The Turn: 9h On the turn Rampage fires a $1,500 bet, and Song makes the call, setting the stage for a climactic river card.

The River: 8s On the river, Rampage decides to opt for a thin value block bet size and continues his aggression with a $1,800 bet, prompting Stephen to fold.

The Million Dollar Game hosted by Hustler Casino Live was such a treat to all poker fans! Watching some of the splashiest high stakes players battle it out with over $1,000,000 in most of their stacks! This weekly poker hand will show you exactly why it was such an entertaining stream to watch!

Jonathan’s new book: 100 Essential Tips To Master No-Limit Hold’em is now available! You can get it here: Click Here Click Here

Jonathan Little does not recommend calling an early position raise with 75o, but if you are extremely rich and are having fun then who cares! On the flop Yong decides to use a rather large bet size (around 80% of the pot) which is not often seen multiway on such dry flops. Having said that, as the effective stack gets deeper it becomes more reasonable to use larger bet sizes in order to get stacks in with your strongest hands.

Alan Keating opts for a small raise size which actually makes a lot of sense when facing such a large bet and on a board that you have a lot of the effective nut hands. Also Keating is likely aware that Rob Yong will likely be betting too frequently on this board which means that his range will be much wider and will include a lot of bluffs.

The turn card is generally quite bad for Keating’s range that might opt to use a small raise size on the flop. Lots of tens would raise as well as some draws, so when he decides to continue for a large bet size on the turn he is essentially narrowing his range to nutted hands which is quite hard to have.

Jonathan believes that on the 5h river that Keating has to continue bluffing as some of his bluffs will have contained a 2 and it is unlikely that Yong will have a 2 in his range.

Alan Keating is a well known cash game player often playing in the biggest cash games live and private games around the world, he has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream.

Rob Yong is an English poker player, and the owner of Dusk To Dawn Poker Club which is the largest poker club in the United Kingdom, and second biggest in Europe. Rob has over $1,000,000 in live tournament earnings, but he is mainly a cash game player having played in many of the biggest games around the world. Rob is known for being very talkative at the table.

This hand took place during the highly anticipated Million Dollar Cash Game on the Hustler Casino Live stream. It had an array of professionals and businessmen competing against one another. Some of the most well-known poker players that played in this game were: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Tony G, Rampage, Wesley, Stanley Tang, Nik Airball, Huss, J.R., Double M, Blank Check Ben, Brandon Steven, Charles and Rob Yong.

Preflop: In this exciting poker hand, Blank Check Ben opens under the gun +1 (UTG+1) with the modest 2d2c. Rob, on the button (BTN), makes a questionable call with 7d5c, and Keating defends his straddle with 96hh.

The Flop: Td 4h 3s On the flop Keating checks to the preflop aggressor. Ben who has completely missed his set decides to slow down and opts to check as well. Rob seizes the opportunity with his gutshot straight draw and bets $14,000. Keating, however, decides to make a rather ambitious move, raising it to $40,000 with no pair but backdoor flush & straight draws. Ben finds the easy fold & Rob decides to splash around and calls the raise.

The Turn: Ac The turn card brings the Ac into play which does not change the strength of either players hand. Keating doesn’t back down & follows through with his story by placing a $70,000 bet. Rob, now has a double belly-buster & makes the call, bringing the pot to a mouth watering $239,000.

The River: 5h The river card now actually gives Yong a pair, albeit a very weak one. It also opens up a straight if any player were to have 2 which is unlikely the way this poker hand has currently played out. Keating fires his triple barrel bluff, betting $160,000. Can Yong find a crazy hero call to take down over half a million dollars? Watch this poker video to find out!

In today’s Weekly Poker Hand Jonathan analyzes a hand that he played himself against poker legend Daniel ‘KidPoker’ Negreanu during a Poker Masters final table!

Jonathan believes that Negreanu’s raise preflop with J3hh is too loose, especially considering the payout implications and the fact that there are two shorter stacks than him. These two shorter stacks are also PokerCoaching coaches – Brock Wilson & Justin Saliba! Having said that Jonathan recognizes that Negreanu is going to be more likely to be playing for the win as he will be less concerned about the payout implications.

As Daniel Negreanu only has 16 big blinds before the flop there are a lot of hands containing an ace that he should just shove, so when the flop comes ace high Jonathan can discount a lot of hands that beat his middle pair which makes it an easy call for him.

Daniel Negreanu is 5th on the all time money list with over $51,300,000 in total live earnings & has 6 WSOP bracelets. He is 49 years old and originally from Toronto, Canada but now resides in Las Vegas, U.S.A. Negreanu grew up playing primarily cash games and has appeared on many popular poker shows such as High Stakes Poker, Poker After Dark, and High Stakes Duel (he won the most recent season beating Eric Persson and Doug Polk and claiming $200,000 and the championship belt).

Jonathan Little is 175th on the all time money list with over $8,000,000 in total live earnings & has 2 WPT titles. Jonathan is a 38 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is also the founder of PokerCoaching.com!

Jonathan Little came 2nd in this event for $154,700, Daniel Negreanu came 6th for $54,600

The 2023 Poker Masters was the 8th season of the Poker Masters. It took place from September 14th-26th 2023, from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. There were 10 events on the schedule and all the events were No-Limit Hold’em. Buy-ins ranged from $10,000 to the $50,000 Main Event.

This hand took place during a $10,000 2023 Poker Masters Event in the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas! Our hero Jonathan Little was facing off against poker legend Daniel Negreanu on this final table.

Preflop: The action begins with Negreanu deciding to raise with J3hh on the button with just 16 big blinds behind. Jonathan Little makes the easy call from the big blind with T9o and both players head to the flop.

The Flop: Ac 9c 5d The flop gives Little middle pair and he opts to check to Negreanu, the preflop aggressor. Negreanu continues to tell his story of strength with a bet of 75,000 and Little makes the easy call.

The Turn: Ad The Ace on the turn pairs the board and Little checks once again. Negreanu doesn’t slow down and fires out another bet for 175,000. Little still doesn’t believe the story that Negreanu is trying to tell and makes the call once again.

The River: 6s The river card changes nothing with regards to the strength of both players hands. Little checks for a final time and Negreanu fires the 3rd and final barrell, practically putting himself all in with just jack high! Can Jonathan Little sniff out the bluff and make a great hero call? Watch the video to find out!

Have you ever wanted to know how to play draws perfectly? Well look no further as Jonathan Little gives you everything that you will need to play straight draws & flush draws PERFECTLY!

It is important to remember that all flush draws and straight draws do NOT have the same value! Generally draws that have overcards to the board will have more equity, especially if your opponent has a marginal holding like a pair.

Flush & Straight draws are incredibly profitable hands if you play them correctly. Here are 3 quick tips to help you make the best possible decision when you have a draw:

1. Raise more often against small bets 2. Raise more often from out of position 3. Do NOT raise high equity draws that would have to fold to a re-raise

RAISE MORE OFTEN AGAINST SMALL BETS

Small bets will indicate frequent bets, this means that your opponent will be betting with a very wide range that cannot often face too much aggression. For this reason you should raise frequently to apply pressure to your opponent’s marginal hands. On the flip side, you should raise less often against large bets and you should actually fold more often when facing a larger bet size, especially with your worst draws.

RAISE MORE OFTEN FROM OUT OF POSITION

From in position, you will realize your equity well. From out of position, you won’t! Position is power in poker! Imagine playing a game of rock/papper/scissors and always getting to act last. You would win every single time! Poker isn’t as simple as this but it gives you a good idea on the importance of position.

Do NOT Raise/Fold Your High Equity Draws

Draws with decent equity that would have to fold to an all-in usually do not raise. It is a disaster when you have a lot of equity but are forced to fold to a huge raise size as you will often not be getting the correct price to mathematically call.

Join Jonathan Little as he reviews a poker hand played by the legend himself and the reason for the 2003 poker boom! It’s Chris Moneymaker, yes that’s his real surname.

Jonathan discusses how it is important to know your preflop ranges so that you do not get into too many tricky spots! Playing a hand like JTo from early position facing an early position raise should be avoided! Jonathan also believes that Moneymaker’s call from the small blind with QTo is a little too lose due to it being a 3 blind game. Moneymaker now has 2 players to act behind him that could potentially squeeze him out of the pot.

When you are playing in multiway pots you do not want to use a large bet size because it indicates that you believe you have a range and/or nut advantage which is extremely hard when there are so many players in a pot.

Jonathan also breaks down the thought process that you should have on the river in a multiway pot when you hold the nuts. There are certain ways when playing out of position that you can maximize your earnings. In this particular instance Jonathan completely agrees with Moneymakers check on the river as he is likely to make more money this way rather than if he were to lead.

Chris Moneymaker, is an American professional poker player. He won the 2003 WSOP Main Event for $2,500,000, and is seen by many as the reason for the poker boom which saw many people all over the world start to play poker. He has $6,152,000 in live tournament earnings putting him 251st in the world rankings. Jibrael Hindi is introducted an amateur poker player from America. He is a lawyer and professional bodybuilder.

This week on Hustler Casino Live was advertised as ‘Moneymaker Week’ as it was his debut on the stream. Moneymaker was scheduled to play around 3 days of live streams. But he ended up getting too intoxicated during the first game which resulted in him not playing on the stream again that week. Other notable poker players on the stream were Johnnie Vibes, Alec Torreli, Mariano, & Rob Kuhn.

This high stakes poker hand took place during the ‘Moneymaker Week’ hosted by the Hustler Casino Live poker room. The blinds were at $25/$50/$100 with a $100 Big Blind Ante.

Hand Highlights: Rob (UTG+1) kicks off the action raising with AdKh, next to act Jibrael decides to call with JsTc, legendary Chris Moneymaker calls with QdTh from the small blind, and popular poker vlogger Johnnie Vibes completes from the big blind with A5hh, so no squeezing this time.

The Flop: Jh 9c 4d The flop misses the original raiser who decides to check. Jibrael seizes his opportunity with top pair and decides to bet $500. Moneymaker calls with his open ended straight draw and Vibes calls with his backdoor flush and straight draws. Rob also decides to make a questionable call with his two over cards and potential backdoor straight draw.

The Turn: 8s The turn is the gin card for Moneymaker as he hits his straight, unfortunately for him both Vibes and Jibrael check behind.

The River: 7h The river card now brings 4 to a straight which is great news for Moneymaker as he has the nut straight! Moneymaker sets the trap once again and checks only for Rob with just ace high to make a $2,200 bet! Jibrael decides to make an interesting call and not a raise with his straight. This is where Moneymaker springs into action with a huge raise to $10,000. Vibes and Rob make the easy fold but Jibrael now has a huge decision, he only loses to one hand! He does eventually make the call and is shown the bad news as Moneymaker turns over the nut straight. With the river card on the table, Moneymaker checks, Vibes checks, and Rob makes a $2,200 bet. Jibrael decides to call, but here comes the twist – Moneymaker springs into action with a raise to $10,000! Vibes folds, Rob folds, and Jibrael makes the bold decision to call all-in.

The post WPH #481: Chris Moneymaker CRUSHES This AMATEUR Poker Player! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Could you imagine shoving $583,000 into the middle with just nine high? Well be sure to watch this video from PokerGO’s No Gamble No Future as that is exactly what Andrew Robl does. Can he make millionaire businessman Rob Yong fold?!

Jonathan discusses which types of hands you should use when deciding to 4-bet bluff. Generally you want to have cards that will block your opponent’s continuing range such as an ace or a king. Jonathan agrees that Robl’s call with KJ suited is fine considering that he is in position and they are both extremely deep.

Robl should be checking this flop frequently due to having two callers and how dynamic it is. He has equity to hit a very strong hand and he does not want to get blown off it by facing a raise and further aggression.

Robl’s shove on the turn is a huge bet but Jonathan dissects exactly why he decided to use such a large size. If he were to go smaller then Yong is the kind of player that will likely call at least one more which is not ideal when you have 9 high out of position! It is important to make sure that you balance this shoving range with very strong hands otherwise you become too predictible to having bluffs or draws when you use large bet or raise sizes.

This high stakes poker hand took place in Las Vegas at the prestigious PokerGO Studio as part of their “”No Gamble, No Future”” cash game series. This particular cash game had a minimum $500,000 buy-in, with blinds at $500/$1000 with a $1,000 Big Blind Ante. Old school poker legend Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl takes on Dusk Till Dawn owner and entrepreneur Rob Yong.

Preflop: Andrew Robl opens from the lojack with 97dd, but Rob Yong on the button decides to bump it up with a 3-bet to $10,000 with KJdd. Eric Persson and Markus Gonsalves make a non standard cold call in the small and big blinds before Robl opts to 4-bet to $40,000. Yong calls on the button, Persson folds the small blind and Gonsalves decides to call completing the action in the big blind with 65ss.

The Flop: Qc Tc 8d The flop is a spicy one as it gives both Robl and Yong open ended straight draws although Gonsalves has completely missed. This very dymanic flop slows down the action as all three players decide to check.

The Turn: 2d This 2nd diamond on the turn is where the fireworks start. Now both Yong and Robl have huge combo draws with straight and flush draws. Gonsalves checks with his air, Robl checks with his monster draw but Yong now wants the pot and decides to bet $60,000. Gonsalves makes the easy fold before Robl decides to shove his entire stack over the line for $583,000! Yong is now in the world of pain and has no idea that he actually has the best hand. Ultimately he does decide to let it go only to be shown the 97dd by Robl.

The post WPH #480: $583,000 All-In With 9 HIGH???????? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Joint Jonathan Little as he reviews a hand that popular poker vlogger Brad Owen plays in a $2/$5/$10 live cash game where he flops a set and rivers quads! Can he find a way to get maximum value?

Jonathan discusses the range of hands that opponents tend to have when they donk lead into multiple opponents. They usually either have a pretty good made hand or some kind of draw. In this particular hand Brad Owen blocks a lot of the top pairs as he has hit top set, so this generally will weight his opponents more towards draws.

Brad talks about how he is not too concerned about the short stack small blind but is much more interested in stacking the other opponent who has a similar deep stack. Jonathan agrees that this should be your thought process when at the table, look to win the large pots off the players that are playing deep and don’t worry if you double up a few short stacks!

Generally you want to play more passively and call with top sets and choose to raise your bottom sets. This is because when you have top set you will be blocking some of the strong hands that you want your opponent to have, like top pair. Bottom set unblocks the strong top pairs that can call a raise.

This poker hand took place in the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Mississippi, USA. The stakes were $2/$5/$10 with the effective stack at $3,000.

It starts with a raise from UTG+2 who has pocket kings which picks up a call from MP but Brad who is sat on the button with pocket queens decides to bump it up and raises to $100. The small blind makes a very non standard cold call with ace king of hearts and the original raiser also makes a very non standard call with their pocket kings. MP who is now getting a great price decides to complete as well.

4 players head to a flop of Qh 6h 3s giving Brad Owen a beautiful top set! Even more so when UTG+2 decides to lead into the pot for $200. Brad calls and the small blind who only has $130 behind decides to gamble with his nut flush draw and calls it off.

The 2h on the turn spells disaster for Brad Owen in the main pot as he is now losing to the small blinds turned flush. However, there is still plenty of value to be made from UTG+2 who still has a strong overpair! This turn card does not slow down Brad’s opponent as he fires another bet to the tune of $300. Brad makes another easy call as the pot escalates to $1,535.

The river is the dream card for Brad as it lands with the Qs giving him quads! This now slows down the villain as he checks. Brad takes the moment to bet for a pot sizee of $1,500. Frustrated with the run out Villain 1 folds, not realizing that the river card actually saved him a lot of money! The small blind is heart broken when he turns over his hand thinking he has the winner!

The post WPH #478: Brad Owen Has ALL THE LADIES! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Watch one of Jonathan’s favorite poker players and also PokerCoaching coach Jonathan Jaffe in action at the Triton Poker series in Vietnam!

Jonathan discusses the merit of flatting with AQo from Frank’s position. Facing an early position raise we should be less inclined to 3-bet as they will have a much stronger range than if they were raising from the button. The other thing to consider in this specific hand is the ICM (Indepedent Chip Model) implications as they are well within the money and making the final table where the biggest pay jumps are, is an important factor in every hand that you play.

Jonathan also discusses how you should always be thinking about pot odds, especially when your opponent uses such a small bet size. Often hands that would fold to a normal size have to call facing a small size otherwise you will find yourself overfolding.

You should always consider as the preflop aggressor which hands you would like to use as small check-raises when you are out of position. Too many players do not have enough of a bluffing range which will often weight these raises to value only. The bluffs you want to use to check-raise with are the ones that you are happy to fold if you face a 3-bet which is generally your low equity bluffs.

A lot of players think that when they only have a pot sized bet remaining that this is the only size they can use when betting. This is not true! Using varying bet sizes allows you to bet more frequently and gives you more maneuverability with both your strong and weak poker hands.

This high stakes poker hand took place during a Super High Roller series as part of a Triton poker festival in Vietnam. This hand was during a $30,000 No Limit Hold-em tournament, held at the stunning Hoiana Resort & Golf in Hoi An in 2023.

PokerCoaching coach and tournament crusher, Jonathan Jaffe makes a standing opening raise with AKo in early position. Christopher Frank, a very accomplished German professional decides to call with AQo and Anson Ewe comes along from the big blind with JT suited.

3 players head to the flop that reveals Qc 8s 4h which gives Frank top pair. After the big blind checks, Jaffe decides to slow down and opts to check. Frank seizes the opportunity and puts out a 25% pot bet, Ewe quickly folds but Jaffe decides to check-raise as a semi bluff. Frank makes the easy call.

The Tc on the turn gives Jaffe addition equity as he now has a gutshot to the nut straight. Jaffe slows down again and checks but Frank does not want to give him a free card and makes a bet for 300,000. Jaffe calls.

The river is a dream card for Jaffe as it is the Kd which now gives him top pair. This slows Frank down as he checks behind only to be frustrated that he lost to that river card.

The post WPH #479: This Is What HEART BREAK Looks Like In Poker! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Jonathan is joined by fellow PokerCoaching coach and poker crusher Matt Affleck. They discuss a poker hand that Matt played during a poker tournament at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

They both discuss a preflop timing tell from one of Matt’s opponents. This player took a lot longer than usual when acting preflop which led Matt to believe that he either had a hand that was thinking about squeezing or a marginal hand that was thinking of folding. This player was clearly thinking of other options other than to just call!

After missing the flop they discuss what you should consider when deciding whether to bluff into multiple opponents or not. On this particular dry flop Matt discounts one of his opponents from having many sets, due to not squeezing preflop. It is important to remember that Matt still has all of the overpairs on this texture whereas his opponents do not.

In multiway pots you generally want to use smaller bet sizes because you are going to get called by a slightly stronger range when there are multiple in the pot. If you bet too large then the range that calls you will be too strong. A smaller bet allows you to widen your value range whilst also giving you the benefit of being able to semi-bluff for a smaller size.

Matt believes that the overcall from the button is a weakish hand that could not face multiple barrells. He is fairly capped in having either a marginal top pair or some sort of weak draw.

On the river they discuss how some players are too scared to go for maximum value with hands that are very likely to be best. Make sure you are reading the situation well and finding the opportunites to get as much value from your strong hands!

The hand starts with Matt opening from under the gun with KQo around 50bb effective. The loose passive chip leader of the table decides to call from the lojack. A french pro also comes along from the button but it is worth noting that Matt believed that this player was considering squeezing in this spot.

With 3 players in the hand they head to a flop of T52r. Matt decides to continue telling his story of a strong overpair and fires out 2,000 into the 5,700 pot. Both players decide to make the call as the three of them head to the turn which is the 8c which now brings in a backdoor club flush draw. Matt does not slow down and choose a 6,500 size into the 11,700 pot. The loose passive player now decides to fold but the french professional sticks around to see the 3s on the river.

Matt now shoves the river for 20,100 into a 24,700 pot as he tries to make the french pro fold a marginal hand. Matt’s range looks extremely strong which is why the player releases his hand giving Matt a very tasty pot!

The post WPH #477: Learn This PERFECT Spot For HUGE Bluffs! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Was Jungleman out of line at the end of this poker hand? Watch as he battles in a high stakes cash game against infamous Nik Airball on the Lodge Card Club poker stream.

Nik Airball had been trying all stream to tilt Jungleman. Every person has a breaking point and it looks like in this hand Airball managed to find Jungleman’s!

Jonathan talks about how the flop actually connects quite well with Airball’s range. As the 3-bet caller, Airball will generally have more strong hands on this board than Jungleman. When Jungleman faces such a small raise on the flop he is getting such a good price to continue to hit either an ace or a queen which could be good in this spot. His actual hand is still beating most of Nik Airball’s semi bluffs.

Jonathan believes that Nik should continue betting on this turn as it is likely to have hit Dan’s calling range on the flop. The hands that Dan will call a bet with will likely just check behind because they will have picked up showdown equity or a draw if he has a strong pocket pair with a diamond.

Dan Cates also known as Jungleman (or ConchDan here) is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live, he has played in all the highest stakes cash games around the world for many years. He has over $12,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him 80th on the all time money list. He famously won the WSOP $50,000 Players Championships (regarded as one of the hardest tournaments to win) in 2021 and then again in 2022.

Nik Airball is an investment banker and an amateur poker player, he is a regular on the Hustler Casino live streams usually playing any stakes, he is often involved in heated table talk with the other players.

This high stakes poker hand took place at The Lodge Poker Club in 2023 between two well known poker players. Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates decided to lock horns with infamous Nik Airball who has taken the poker world by storm!

With blinds at $200/$400 with an $800 straddle, Nik Airball raises to $2000 with 86dd from UTG+2 off a $702,500 stack. In the hijack, Jungleman opts to 3-bet to $8000 with AsQc to which Airball calls.

Both players head to a flop of 8h 7d 2d which gives Airball top pair & a flush draw whilst Jungleman has completely missed and still just has ace high. After a check from Airball, Jungleman continues his story with a $6,000 bet. Airball decides to raise it up to $16,000. Jungleman undeterred by this raise opts to make the call.

The turn is a beautiful card for Jungleman (or so he thinks!) as he hits the Ad. However, Airball has now hit his flush meaning that Jungleman is drawing dead. This card does slow down the action as both players now check to see the river.

The Qh on the river is a disastorous card for Jungleman as he now has top two. Airball now decides to bet for value with a huge $75,000 bet into the $49,800 pot. This huge bet size clearly put Jungleman in the blender as he cannot figure out whether he has the best hand or not. Eventually he does make the call only to be shown the bad news.

But it’s what happens next that really makes this a memorable hand! Do you think Jungleman was out of order?

Have you ever made this mistake at a poker table before? We just had to make this video to make sure that none of you do it!

Watch as Daniel Negreanu and Eric Persson face each other heads-up as part of the High Stakes Duel series by PokerGO. Persson who is known for his table talk and splashy play finds himself making a huge mistake on the river which awards Negreanu a surprising pot!

Jonathan discuss Eric Persson’s decision to 3-bet with a junky off suit king. It is infact GTO approved! The solver likes to use these types of hands as they help block some of the strong range that the opponent could have as it contains a high card.

Jonathan talks about how you should never really muck your cards before it gets to the river as your hand may still have some equity against theirs. Poker is all about realizing your equity at the showdown so it is a huge mistake to muck your hand before you get to that point!

Eric Persson is the owner of Maverick Gaming which has 19 card rooms in Washington state as well as some in Nevada and Colorado, he has managed many Casinos and has recently burst onto the high-stakes poker scene. He is often involved in table antics, especially table talk which began against Phil Hellmuth in April 2022 at the $25,000 PokerGo heads-up showdown, Eric and Phil exchanged vulgarities which some said went too far.

Daniel Negreanu is 3rd on the all time money list with over $50,000,000 in total live earnings. He has 6 WSOP bracelets. Daniel is looking to stop his losing streak on High Stakes Duel having never won a match before. He lost 3 times in a row on season 2 to Phil Hellmuth losing $350,000 in the process.

This match was the main event, before this game for the first time in High Stakes Duel history, there was an undercard which included Shaun Deeb and Mike Matusow, with both players putting up $10,000. Mike Matusow won the match.

High Stakes Duel is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO and premiered on July 30, 2020. The format is two players playing a heads-up No-Limit Hold’em poker tournament. The rules of High Stakes Duel are that the initial buy-in level is $50,000 for Round 1. With each round that follows, the buy-ins double. Round 2 is a $100,000 buy-in, Round 3 is a $200,000 buy-in, and so on. A player earns the right to walk away as High Stakes Duel champion if the player wins three consecutive matches prior to Round 4 or two consecutive matches starting with Round 4. The winner of High Stakes Duel receives the High Stakes Duel Championship Belt. There have been 3 previous seasons of High Stakes Duels, with the winners being Phil Hellmuth twice and then Jason Koon.

This thrilling poker hand took part during the High Stakes Duel series hosted by PokerGO in their studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. Two huge names in the industry faced off, poker legend and multi World Series of Poker bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu took on the relatively infamous Eric Persson who is known to own multiple casinos and provide entertaining trash talk when the occasion calls for it!

With blinds at 150/300, the hand starts with Negreanu deciding to raise with 43ss on the button to 1,000 off a 70,200 stack. Persson opts to 3-bet with K6o to 3,500, Negreanu with his suited connectors is going nowhere and makes the call.

The flop reveals Ts 7s 7c which gives Negreanu a flush draw and Eric Persson zip and pip (in the famous words of Mike Sexton). This slows Persson down as he decides to check. Not wanting to get blown off his equity, Negreanu makes a wise check behind.

The turn is the Ad which is a great card for Persson’s range that may have 3-bet preflop and decided to check the flop. He sezies the opportunity and fires a 4,000 bet into the 7,000 pot. Negreanu decides to call with his flush draw.

The river is where things get really interesting as the 2c lands. Persson has the best hand with just king high but he clearly doesn’t know it as he decides to make a huge mistake. Watch this poker video to find out what it was!

The post WPH #475: Did Eric Persson REALLY Just Do THAT?!?! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

When you decide to talk at the table after making a big bet, you better be sure you know what tells you are giving off! Watch this hand from the Lodge Poker club and find out how this player talking may just cost her $10,200!

Jonathan talks about how someone ‘blind raising’ in a hand should effect everyones strategy. Essentially you should just treat it as a straddle. Although technically Kendall is 3-betting preflop with pocket queens, everyone else at the table should just consider it as a normal raise.

When you have an overpair on a paired board in a multiway pot, you should not look to pile money in too quickly. Kendall makes a great check on the flop as she would be in a miserable spot if she were to face a check/raise. A hand like aces or kings is more preferable to check in this spot as they need less protection from overcards that may fall on the turn if the flop were to check through.

Kendall makes a great check on the river as this maximizes her opportunity to be able to get all of the money in on the river. If she were to lead, Justin may just call with most of his 9x that may bet and find a hero call to a shove. Some flushes may raise when facing a bet but most will call on this paired board. Especially as both of their ranges should be stronger on the river due to the flop being multiway.

Jonathan discusses some of the mistakes he believes Kendall made on the river which could have led Justin to making a very good but correct hero fold on the river. When players look back at their cards before taking an aggressive action, it is usually because they cannot believe that they have such a strong hand. When poker players also take a long time before deciding to raise, this is also usually weighted towards value.

This gripping poker hand took place during a Lodge Poker live stream. With a $100 straddle on in the hand, Fred Flinstone decides to blind raise to $200. Kendall seizes the opportunity to try and steal a rather large preflop pot and raises to $600 with the delightful pocket queens. Justin calls with A7dd from the HJ as do 2 other players including the blind raiser, Fred Flinstone!

4 of them head to a flop of 9h 9d 3d which gives Justin the nut flush draw but Kendall’s overpair is still looking good. Kendall decides to slow down and check which opens the door for Justin to start semi bluffing as he decides to bet $1,250 into a pot of $2,600. Kendall is the only caller as the two of them head to the turn.

The 2d on the turn is a glorious card for Justin as he has now hit the nut flush. Kendall checks again and this time Justin bets slightly over half pot with a $3,700 bet. Kendall who has the queen of diamonds in her hand, decides to call once more.

The river is a disaster for Justin and a miracle for Kendall as she somehow manages to hit the queen of hearts giving her a full house. Kendall sets the trap with another check and Justin bets with what he believes to be the best hand. He bets $6,800 and is completely shocked when Kendall announces she is all in for $17,000. Justin goes deep into the tank and Kendall starts talking, was this a huge mistake on her part? Watch the video to find out!

The post WPH #474: Did This MISTAKE Cost Her $10,200????? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In this weekly poker hand Jonathan analyzes a poker hand where Eric Persson tries to trap with pocket kings on the Hustler Casino Live stream during a $200/$400/$800 game!

Jonathan talks about how he would rather Eric try to trap with a strong pocket pair in an earlier position where the likelihood that someone will 3-bet will be far greater as there are more people to act. When he decides to just flat on the button there are only a few more people left to act that may decide to 3-bet.

Jonathan also discusses Ben’s interesting decision to slow down and check on the turn when he turns two pair. Generally when you are playing multiway and you have a strong hand that is vulnerable to being outdrawn you should look to stay aggressive and build a pot against players that want to realize their equity.

When Ben raises the turn he should generally have no bluffs which means that he needs to be over valuing a hand like pocket jacks or queens for Eric’s call to be profitable.

Make sure when you are playing medium to large pots that you do take a few seconds before you make your decision. Eric Persson decided to snapcall on the river before thinking through any of what had happened throughout the hand. Had he taken a bit more time he may have pieced together the puzzle that Ben’s range was extremely strong after he bet into multiple people on the flop, check-raised the turn into multiple people and then still decided to fire on the river after Eric had called. All of that information makes a hand like pocket kings shrink in value drastically and it will often be the second best hand to Ben’s.

This high stakes poker cash game hand took place on a Hustler Casino Live Stream with blinds at a staggering $200/$400/$800. The lineup for this game features some of the biggest names in the poker world right now with Alan Keating, Luda Chris, Handz & Eric Persson all deciding to pony up the six figure buy-in that was required for this poker game.

The hand starts with Blank Check Ben with a loose raise to $2,000 from UTG with 96cc. He manages to pick up 4 callers including Ben’s villain in this hand – Eric Persson who has decided to trap with his pocket kings.

There is $10,000 in the middle as four players head to a flop of 9h 5d 4c. Ben decides to continue his story having now hit top pair and a backdoor flush draw. He fires $6,300 into the middle. 3 players decide to stick around including Persson who still has his overpair.

The turn is the 6h which now gives Ben two pair. He now decides to slow down and check to which Eric decides to take the betting lead and fire for a huge $20,000 bet into the $35,000 pot. Not wanting to give the other players an opportunity to outdraw his vulnerable hand, Ben decides to fire in the check-raise to $68,000. This forces the other 2 players out of the hand but Persson the non believer makes the call to stick around for the river.

The river is the Td and with $191,000 in the pot Ben is confident he still has the best hand as he bets $80,000 for value. Can Eric Persson make the correct read and a disciplined fold? Watch this poker video to find out!

Jonathan talks about what things you should consider when deciding to lead into the preflop aggressor. You should find boards that will connect better with your range rather than your opponents. You should also pick hands that have good equity or hands that are already strong made hands. Do not use hands that have little to no equity.

Jonathan discusses that Addamo might be able to open his raising range slightly due to his image; Addamo is one of the most aggressive players in the high stakes poker tournament circuit. This means that players might be 3-betting with a slightly tighter range against him.

Michael Addamo is a 29 year old Australian professional poker player and is a regular at the highest stakes tournaments in the world. He has over $22,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him 32th in the all time money list. He also has 4 WSOP bracelets.

Michael Soyza is a professional poker player from Malaysia, he is 68th on the all time money list with over $14,000,000 in total live earnings. He has become a regular at the Triton events, with his best live cash of over $2,200,000 coming at this series in the $100,000 Main Event where he finished runner-up to Talal Shakerchi.

This Triton series was held in Hoi An, Vietnam, it had 15 events ranging with buy-ins from $15,000 up to $100,000 in No Limit Hold’em and Short-Deck.

This high stakes poker hand took place during a $25,000 No Limit Hold’em poker tournament as part of the GG Super Millions at the luxurious Hoiana Resort & Golf in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Michael Addamo kicks off the action with a raise from the cutoff with A4o, Michael Soyza decides to defend his big blind with Q5s with both players being over 100 big blinds effective. Both players head to the flop and see the 6s 4d 2s. Soyza opts for a non standard lead with his gutshot, overcard and flush draw. Addamo who now has middle pair makes the easy call.

The turn brings the 7c which now upgrades Soyza to an open ended flush draw. He continues to tell his story with an 18,000 chip bet into the 24,000 pot. Addamo still the non-believer decides to make the call.

The 9c on the river is a huge brick for Soyza who has missed all of his draws. He decides to continue running his bluff and this time uses a pot size bet. This puts Addamo deep into the tank but can he find the call to win a huge pot?!

#bradowen #pokerstrategy #thelodge Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen played in the biggest game of his life during the launch week of the new studio at The Lodge Card Club. Just a few years ago he was grinding $2/$5 and $5/$10 but in this hand he is playing $200/$400/$800! This was a recipe for him to play in the biggest ever pot of his life – a staggering $146,800!! Jonathan discusses how the depth of the effective stack should be a factor to consider when you decide whether to continue in a poker hand. He also talks about why Brad should not have a leading range on the king turn as it will generally hit Dylan’s range more than his. Brad’s raise on the turn looks extremely strong due to the stack to pot ratio. It is clear he is setting up for a river jam. Luckily for him Dylan has a poker hand that will continue! This poker hand took place during a Lodge Poker Club’s live stream. The stakes were high with blinds at $200/$400/$800 and both players, Dylan and Brad are both relatively deep stacked. The action starts with Dylan on the button raising to $2,500 and Brad calling from the small blind. Heading to the flop the pot is at $6,600. The flop comes Qd Tc 3s, and Brad checks in flow which opens the door for Dylan to continuation bet $4,800 which Brad calls. The pot has now grown to a healthy $16,200. On the Kh turn, Brad checks again. This time, Dylan bets $10,800. Brad decides to raise to $25,000 with the nuts as he has now turned the straight! Dylan makes the call with his top two pair and the pot grows to a whopping $66,200. As the river comes 2s, Brad bets $40,300 which was enough to put Dylan all in. Dylan goes deep into the tank but eventually decides on putting all his chips across the line only to be delivered the bad news!

#pokerstrategy #pokervlog #bradowen Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself in a dream spot as he flops a set in a $5/$10 cash game at the Bellagio poker room in Las Vegas.

Jonathan talks about how your opening ranges in early position should depend on the table dynamic. If you are going to face lots of preflop aggression then you should start to fold out your smaller pocket pairs. If you are at a loose and splashy game where you are not facing much aggression and will often get to see a flop then go ahead and raise!

Jonathan also talks about the differences between GTO and exploitative poker and when you should look to use them. When playing against strong poker players you should revert to what is a GTO strategy. When playing against recreationals that are not too conscious of bet size you should be betting big for value!

This thrilling cash game poker hand took place at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Our Hero, Brad Owen, decides to open the action with a raise off $1,455 with pocket 3s. Only the villain in the big blind decides to just call with AQdd and comfortably covers Brad. Both players head to a 7h 4d 3c flop which gives Brad bottom set and the villain just two overcards and some backdoor flush and straight possibilities. Brad continues his aggression with a bet of $40 into $65. The Villain decides to float. The 6s turn changes the dynamic of the board drastically as now any 5 would make a straight. Villain now decides to lead this card for $80 which is just over a half pot size bet. Brad makes the easy call with outs to a full house and he could still easily have the best hand. The river pairs the board giving Brad a full house. The villain decides to be again, this time to the tune of $240 into a pot of $305. Brad now has a decision, should he raise or just call?

The post 3 HACKS To WIN More From The BIG BLIND | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 7-24-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In this weekly poker hand Jonathan covers a hand from a Triton Poker event played between two high stakes professionals: Charlie ‘Epiphany77’ Carrel & Patrik Antonius.

Charlie has been known to publicly state that he has never used a poker solver and relies very heavily on an exploitative approach to the game. This makes him extremely fun to watch as he takes actions that a Game Theory Optimal approach would not. This poker hand is no different as he opts to raise from the small blind with 84o!

Charlie Carrel is from England and has $9,600,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of $1,600,000 coming at this 2019 Triton series in a $50,000 tournament. He is known for relying on live reads to make decisions at the table.

Patrik Antonius is from Finland and has $13,800,000 in live tournament earnings. Patrik is known for being stoic at the table and near impossible to get a live read from.

Patrik Antonius went on to finish 17th in this event for $52,000, but Charlie Carrel did not manage to cash.

Triton Super High Roller Bowl London took place in 2019 from July 31st – August 8th. There were 7 events ranging from £25,000up to the main event of £1,050,000 (which is the largest ever buy-in for a single poker tournament)

This exciting poker hand history is from the Triton Super High Roller Bowl London $25,000 6-Handed Turbo tournament at Aspers Casino in Westfield Stratford City, London in 2019.

The poker hand starts with Charlie ‘Epiphany77’ Carrel raising from the small blind to 80,000 with 84o and Patrik Antonius in the big blind decides to defend with K6o. The flop comes Jd 9s 6h, and Carrel continues the aggression with a bet of 65,000. Antonius decides to call with his bottom pair.

The 5h turn slows Carrel down and he decides to check. Antonius checks behind. The river card is the 2d, and Carrel decides to put Antonius to the test for his tournament life and puts him all in. Antonius takes his time but eventually decides to call and is correct with his bottom pair and earns himself a well deserved double up!

#pokerstrategy #pokervlog #rampagepoker Rampage Poker finds himself in a huge spot in a private home game in California as he flops middle set and faces extreme aggression!

Jonathan discusses how you should always be aware of how many chips your opponent has in any given hand. Their relative stack size compared to yours and everyone else in the hand should dictate your strategy. Adjustments should be made depending on whether you are short or deep stacked.

It is important to recognize the bluffs that your opponent might have when deciding to slow play a monster hand. If they are a loose opponent who overbluffs you will find they will tend to have far less equity so you want to trap these opponents more.

Jonathan also teaches you different factors that you should consider when determining your bet size. On wet and dynamic boards you generally want to size up your bets to make sure that any draws that your opponents might have are not getting the correct mathematical price to call.

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 250,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $1,900,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a $25,000 WPT High Roller at the Wynn in 2022.

This epic high stakes poker cash game hand took place in a private home game in California. The action kicks off with with an early position raise to $300. Our hero, Rampage Poker, decides to make the easy call from the hijack with his pocket fives. Two other opponents opt to make the call as well.

Four players head to the Tc 5d 3d giving Rampage middle set on a wet and dynamic board. Action is checked to Rampage who decides to fire out a $500 bet into the $1,235 pot. The straddler decides to call but the original raiser now puts in a check raise to $2,500. Rampage has an easy call and the straddler decides to come along as well.

With $8,735 in the pot the three remaining players head to the turn card which is the 4c. Action checks to Rampage again and with such a wet board he does not want to give a free card and decides to bet around half pot for $4,500. The straddler decides to get out of the way but the original raiser shoves all-in for $15,000 total. Rampage makes the relatively easy call and finds himself up against a flush draw. They decide to run it twice, can Rampage scoop the entire $38,735 pot?

#highstakespoker #pokerstrategy #hustlercasinolive When a poker hand has Garrett Adelstein involved you know that it’s going to be a fun watch. In this hand from the Hustler Casino Live stream you will see an epic tale of twists and turns as Garrett battles against French professional Gal, in a $180,000 pot!

Jonathan discusses how you should always fast play your strong value hands against opponent’s that do not like to fold. In deep stacked cash games make sure you raise frequently and on early streets to start building a pot to try and stack your opponents. If you are playing in shallower stacked tournaments you can opt to slow play at a higher frequency as you will still have plenty of opportunity to get all of the money in by the river.

Jonathan talks about overbet sizes and how you can often use a larger overbet size and still get calls from opponent’s that would have called the smaller overbet size. Size up slightly with value when you expect to get called a lot!

With a hand as strong as Gal’s he should be looking to keep Garrett’s range as wide as possible by just calling when facing the large bets. He does not want to raise which will force worse hands to fold and only hands that are beating his will continue.

Garrett Adelstein is known for his fearless aggression at the poker table. Does his opponent Gal Yifrach really consider folding on the river? What do you think? It feels like he would potentially fold any river that doesn’t give him a full house.

Garrett ‘GMan Poker’ Adelstein is a professional poker player from America, he is a regular at the Hustler Casino playing on the live stream and he is known to always have the biggest stack to cover every player at the poker table. Garrett has not played on any live stream since the J4 hand against Robbi back in October 2022.

Gal Yifrach is a professional poker player from America, he has 1 WSOP bracelet and over $2,000,000 in live tournament earnings and he has become a regular on this high stakes cash game stream.

The post When To 3 Barrel BLUFF In Poker! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 7-3-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This is the clash of titans that we’ve all been waiting for! Poker legend Phil Ivey found himself heads up in a hand against the famous newcomer Eric Persson.

Jonathan discusses how you should always be aware of your opponents tendencies. If they are a loose aggressive player then you should play more cautiously with hands that cannot continue vs a raise but will still have good equity.

If you know that your opponent likes to bluff you should try and pot control with your hands that have good showdown equity and let them bluff into you. Floating with ace high on the turn is completely reasonable from Ivey as Persson is likely to overbluff in certain situations.

Jonathan is a big fan of the large size that Persson uses on the river as there are a lot of poker hands in Ivey’s range that might decide to look him up.

The hand starts with poker legend Phil Ivey raising to $5,400 on the button with AQs. Eric Persson decides to defend his straddle with J5s and they both head to the flop. The flop comes Js 7h 6c and Eric checks to the aggressor with his top pair. Ivey wisely decides to check behind with his two overcards and backdoor flush draw. The turn brings the 4h and now Eric also has an open-ended straight draw & flush draw to go with his top pair. He now takes the initiative and decides to bet $7,600 into the $12,600 pot. Ivey decides to call. Heading to the river there is $27,800 in the pot as the ten of hearts lands. Persson now decides to bet using a huge size of $29,600 with his flush. Ivey senses weakness and decides to raise to $110,000. Unfortunately for him his read was wrong as Eric was going nowhere and makes the call to win a huge $248,000 pot!

In this video Jonathan sat down with James Romero to analyze a hand that James played during the $10,000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

The hand starts with James opening under the gun with KJo 40bb effective. He finds two callers in the LJ (40bb) and BB (40bb). The flop is J98xdd and they both discuss how this flop can be dangerous as the LJ has a strong range on this board. James plays for a check call and after the big blind folds they take it heads up to the turn which is 4h. James checks again and the LJ sizes up and decides to bet 66% pot which would set up for about a 1 stack-to-pot (SPR) on the river if James were to make the call. Instead he decides to shove for 1.5x pot to deny equity to his opponent’s hands that are a pair/straight draw or hands that would have a tough time calling off their tournament life in the main event.

Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself firing a 3 barrel bluff in this exciting poker hand from the Lodge Card Club. Will he get it through?

Jonathan discusses the merit of using certain poker hands to use as bluffs. Generally these are hands that have the opportunity to improve on future streets. He also talks about how you should be more cautious to raise with low valued draws when playing in extremely deep stacked cash games. If you end up getting a lot of action you are often going to be up against better draws that have you crushed. Jonathan would have preferred a slightly smaller turn bet size from Brad to set up for a larger river shove.

Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger for a few years having over 665,000 subscribers. Primarily a cash game player Brad has started playing more tournaments since the start of 2022, earning around $250,000 in cashes whilst his lifetime total live tournament winnings is only $298,000. His biggest cash of $99,000 came in December 2022 at the Wynn, Las Vegas in the $10,400 WPT Championship.

Ez is an American amateur poker player who plays at The Lodge occasionally but is willing to play all stakes from $2/$5 up to $200/$400 on the live poker stream.

They are playing the ‘nit game’ here (shown by the red buttons in front of the players still remaining in the game). It has the same rules as the well-known stand-up game where the last player to lose their nit button has to pay a fee to each player at the table. Brad, Big Tony and Ez still have their nit buttons in front of them in this poker hand.

This poker hand took place during a Lodge Live stream in Austin, Texas. Big Tony in under-the-gun +1 kicks off the action with a raise to $600 holding Q9cc. Brad Owen with AQo decides to 3bet to $3,000. EZ decides to cold call from the cutoff with 86dd and Big Tony decides to defend his initial raise. With $6,450 in the pot the flop brings Jd 6h 2d and Big Tony checks. Brad continues his aggression with a bet of $2,500 and Ez calls with his pair and flush draw. With the pot at $11,450 the turn reveals the Kc. Brad continues bluffing on a card that is great for his range by firing $8,000. EZ makes the easy call. The river bricks out for Ez’s flush draw as it comes the 7s. Brad fires the third barrel and moves all-in for $18,075.

The post How To PERFECTLY Prepare For Live Poker! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 6-12-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

The Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Cash Game had it all. Incredible bluffs, huge pots & a whole lot of entertainment! This poker hand between two legends of the game is one that will go down in history. It was inevitable that Tom Dwan and Doug Polk would clash at the felt and they gave everything the poker fans were calling for!

Jonathan talks about how larger bet sizes are used in general when you are playing extremely deep stacked cash games which is one of the reasons why this pot was so large by the river!

He also talks about which types of poker hands make the best candidates to use as a semi-bluff raise. Generally they are hands that have no showdown equity but still have good equity if your opponent decides to call.

This epic showdown happened during The Million Dollar Game on The Hustler Casino Live Stream! The minimum buy-in for this high stakes poker game stood at an incredible $1,000,000!

The hand started with Doug Polk raising from the cutoff with 54ss to $3,000. Dwan responded with a 3bet to $14,000 with pocket sevens and Doug makes the easy call as the effective stack is so deep.

With $31,000 in the middle the two players take it heads up to a flop of K72dds. With middle set and the aggression lead, Dwan continues for $15,000 and Doug decides to float with a backdoor flush and straight draw.

The 6h falls on the turn and Dwan continues for $30,000 into a $61,000 pot. With an open ended straight draw but no showdown equity, Doug decides to turn his hand into a semi-bluff and raises to $115,000. Dwan goes deep into the tank and ultimately decides to just call rather than raise. The pot is a massive $291,000 as a 6 lands on the river which now gives Dwan a full house!

Dwan does decide to check on the river before facing a $420,000 bet from Polk. Again Dwan goes deep into the tank trying to figure out if he can raise and still get called by worse hands. He doesn’t think so and ultimately opts for just a call instead to the shock of many of the poker players at the table!

Doug Polk is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series of Poker bracelets, along with a win in the $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000.

Tom Dwan also known as durrrr is a 36 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as he grew up playing in the highest stakes cash games online before Black Friday. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. He is known for his fearless style and big bluffs. Now, Dwan is generally playing in private high stakes cash games in Asia. He is also often seen on the Triton poker tour & has over $6,450,000 in live tournament earnings.

Rampage Poker played in the biggest game of his life so it was inevitable he was going to play the biggest pot of his life! Watch this crazy poker hand from the Million Dollar Cash game on The Hustler Casino Live Stream!

Jonathan talks a lot about how Rampage has a very strong nut advantage on a board of QJT as he has all of the AK and sets where his opponents should not have them as they would often 3-bet. Rampage uses his nut advantage to run a huge bluff against an opponent who is under repped the strength of his hand, but Handz find the call?

This poker hand took place during the Million Dollar Cash Game on The Hustler Casino Live Stream! Players were sat with a minimum of $1,000,000 and the blinds were at $500/$1000 often with a $2000 and $4000 straddle!

The action folds to Ethan ‘Rampage Poker’ Yau in the small blind who opts to raise with A7cc to $8,000 due to the $2000 straddle. Handz goes for a non standard flat call from the big blind with his pocket queens which invites Pav along from the straddle with Kh8d.

With the pot at an already huge $29,000 the three players head to the flop which comes Qd Jd Tc, delivering an action-packed board. Rampage decides to slow down and checks, Handz checks with his top set, and Pav takes the initiative in what he believes to be two weak hands. He bets $15,000. Rampage with the nut advantage decides to seize the opportunity and raise to $50,000. Handz now has a tricky decision but does decide to just call and Pav quickly realizes his mistake and gets out of the way.

There is $144,000 in the middle as Rampage and Handz head to the turn which is the 2c. Rampage Poker has now peaked up the nut flush draw and decides to maintain the pressure by overbetting the pot for a massive $175,000. Handz, who still has clean outs to a nutted hand, remains composed and calls.

With almost half a million dollars in the middle the two poker players see the 5s on the river. Rampage who has bricked on his gutshot straight and nut flush draw decides to continue with his story and fires another overbet in, this time for the tune of $618,000. Can Handz make the correct call and win a $1,800,000 pot?

The post WPH #462: $1,100,000 PUNT By RAMPAGE POKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Fireworks were bound to happen when Sam Trickett rivers a full house against Dan Colman’s quads in this high stakes cash game. But can Trickett find a way to not go broke?

Jonathan discusses the merit on using specific hands to lead with multiway, particularly on flops that you think will get checked around at a high frequency. He also discusses how you should look to raise more when you are playing deep stacked with hands that are strong but have an easy opportunity to be outdrawn.

Jonathan talks about what he believes the optimal river raise size should have been for Dan Colman considering Trickett’s range to bet into multiple people, bet big on the turn and continue for half pot on the river. It will be strong full houses/straights or bluffs that would fold to any raise size. This is why Jonathan believes Colman could have used a larger raise size and still been paid by all of Trickett’s value hands on the river.

Sam Trickett is a professional poker player from the UK, he is 33rd on the all time money list with almost $28,000,000 in total live earnings. He is a regular in high stakes cash games and tournaments. He came 2nd in the ‘Big One For One Drop’ which was the first $1,000,000 buy-in back in 2012. He won over $10,000,000 after losing to Antonio Esfandiari heads-up.

Dan Colman is a professional poker player from America, he is 20th on the all time money list with almost $29,000,000 in total live earnings. He has 1 WSOP bracelet which came in 2014 from the $1,000,000 buy-in ‘Big One For One Drop’ where he won $15,306,000 beating Daniel Negreanu heads-up.

The Super High Roller Cash Game was in 2015 and involved some of the biggest professionals and businessmen in the game such as Patrik Antonius, Andrew Robl, Doug Polk, Dan Colman, Scott Seiver, Paul Newey and Matt Kirk.

This poker hand place during a special Super High Roller Cash Game hosted at the prestigious PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas! This high stakes cash game poker hand history from 2015 features some of the biggest names in poker, including Paul Newey, Matt Kirk, Dan Colman, Scott Seiver, and Sam Trickett. With a minimum buy-in of $250,000 the blinds were set at $400/$800 with a $200 ante for every player per hand.

In this particular poker hand, Newey kicks off the action with a raise to $2,500 with AsJd from under the gun, and he is called by Kirk, Colman, Seiver, and Trickett. The flop comes 8d 7d 4c, and Trickett decides to lead for $6,000 as he has flopped bottom set. Unfortunately for him, Colman has also hit middle set and he decides to call. They both are now heads up into the turn which is the Ah. Trickett continues his aggression with a bet of $22,000 and Colman decides to call once again. The river is the 7c which now gives Trickett a full house but Colman has rivered quads. Trickett decides to bet $35,000 and is faced with a raise to $100,000 by Colman. This sends Trickett deep into the tank before he eventually decides to call only to be shown the bad news and lose an enormous pot of $270,000! which is called by Colman after Seiver folds. The turn is the Ah, and Trickett decides to lead for $22,000 as he has hit bottom set. , which is again called by Colman. As we head to the river, which reveals the 7c, Trickett bets $35,000, but Colman makes a bold move with a raise to $100,000. Trickett decides to call, resulting in an enormous pot of $270,100!

Daniel ‘KidPoker’ Negreanu is known for his incredible reads at the poker table. His range analysis is generally spot on and he always has a great feel for where his opponents are at in a hand. Watch the poker legend at work in this $300,000 poker tournament against another incredible poker player; Mikit ‘fish2013’ Badziakouski.

Negreanu is on top form in this hand as he is all loosey and goosey but not eating a sandwich. He uses this strategy to try and loosen up his opponents so that they become more talkative and relaxed which allows him to make better reads and understand where he is at in any given poker hand.

Jonathan discusses implied odds and the fact that Negreanu has many backdoor draws on the flop. Badziakouski is deep enough that Negreanu can comfortably float on the flop to try and hit either a heart on the turn, which means he would pick up a flush draw, or a nine. This is assuming that Badziakouski has a stronger hand than just a pair. In this particular instance he can actually also hit one of his overcards.

Daniel Negreanu is 3rd on the all time money list with over $50,000,000 in total live earnings, putting him 3rd on the all time money list. He has 6 World Series of Poker bracelets.

Mikita Badziakouski who is known as fish2013 online (one of the best online cash game players) is a 31 year old professional poker player from Belarus, he has over $38,000,000 in live tournament winnings putting him 9th on the all-time money list and 1 WSOP bracelet.

The Super High Roller Bowl V was held in December 2018 from inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The $300,000 buy-in attracted a field of 36 players and created a prize pool of $10,800,000 million. Issac Haxton won the event for $3,672,000. Neither Daniel nor Mikita cashed in this particular high stakes poker tournament.

This poker hand took place during the Super High Roller Bowl V at the prestigious PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas! Poker legend Daniel ‘KidPoker’ Negreanu takes on the online beast that is Mikita ‘fish2013’ Badziakouski. The Super High Roller bowl is the largest annual poker tournament with a staggering $300,000 buy-in. The blinds in this poker hand are at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 BB ante. Negreanu opens the action from under the gun 7 with JThh and raises to 5,000. Badziakouski makes a very standard call from the lojack with pocket nines and they move to the flop heads up. The flop comes 8d 7h 6s and Negreanu continues his aggression with a bet of 5,000. Badziakouski with an overpair and open ended straight draw decides to raise to 16,000. With a gutshot, two overcards and a backdoor flush draw, Negreanu decides he is not going anyway and decides to call. The turn is an action card as it is the 9s. Negreanu checks to the aggressor but Badzikouski now realizes that although he has a set, his hand prefers to check behind. The river comes the 8h which now gives Badziakouski the lead again as he has rivered a full house against Negreanu’s straight. Negreanu checks again, and now Badziakouski decides to open the clip and fires for 60,000. Ultimately, after lots of talking and analyzing Negreanu makes the correct read and decides to fold.

The post FIX This MISTAKE In Low Stakes Cash Games! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 5-15-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Daniel Negreanu took on the challenger Eric Persson in the 4th edition of the High Stakes Duel hosted by PokerGO in the studio in Las Vegas. Both players put up $50,000 with the winner earning themselves an impressive $100,000!

Jonathan agrees with Persson’s large bet size on the turn when he turns the flush draw after Negreanu has now checked twice after his aggression preflop. Jonathan talks about how you should consider your bet size depending on what hands you are trying to make fold and what you think is the size that your opponent will fold those hands. Persson correctly reads that Negrean has a jack in this hand so he needs to bet big enough that is too much for Negreanu to call.

Persson does a fantastic job at confusing Negreanu on the river by calling out his exact hand and telling him that he has to call. This ultimately makes Negreanu fold the winning hand!

This poker hand took place during a high stakes poker showdown in the PokerGO studio as part of their High Stakes Duel Series. This was their 4th edition and saw Daniel Negreanu face off against the new high stakes figure and multiple business owner Eric Persson. The hand starts with Persson limping from the button with 43dd and Negreanu opting to raise to 3.3x to which Persson calls. Both players started this hand over 150bb effective. The flop brings the Ah Jd 7c which gives Negreanu middle pair and a back door straight draw. Persson has a very weak backdoor flush and straight draw. Both players opt to check. The turn is the 7d and Persson decides to use a pot sized bet of 2,000 after Negreanu checks once more. Negreanu calls. The river is another 7 as it lands the 7s. Negreanu checks his full house and Persson attempts to bluff with an almost pot sized bet. Persson does some excellent speech play and confuses Negreanu so much that he folds the winning poker hand!

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.

The post Learn This Postflop Strategy! [CRUSH Small Stakes Poker] | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 5-8-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Whenever you flop quads it is always a double edged sword. It’s music to your ears as you are likely to have a lock on the poker hand but the difficulty is trying to get a lot of money into the pot as generally your opponent’s will not have a strong poker hand. But what about if they have pocket aces and then they turn a boat? You are very likely to get all of their money!

Jonathan discusses why you should generally flat call a raise preflop with medium strengthened pocket pairs because if you opt to 3-bet and then end up facing a 4-bet it can be miserable and very hard to navigate.

Punnat should generally feel very comfortable on the 886r flop with his pocket aces. He blocks all of the A8 suited hands and realistically Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates should not really have many other poker hands containing an 8.

This poker hand history took place during the 2022 Triton Poker Cash Game in Cyprus at the luxurious Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino North Cyprus. This high stakes cash game had blinds of $1,000/$2,000/$4,000 with most players sitting over $300,000 deep.

The action heats up pre-flop when Heung Wayne raises to $9,000 with KThh, Dan Cates calls with 88, and Punnat Punsri decides to 3bet to $54,000 with the best starting hand in hold’em – pocket aces. Heung Wayne folds but Dan Cates decides to call. Heading to the flop the pot was at a hefty $125,000, and the flop brought an exciting turn of events as the 8d 8h 6c landed which gave Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates quad eights. Punnat Punsri bets $44,000 and Dan Cates starts to set the trap by just calling.

With the pot now at $213,000 the turn reveals the ace of diamonds giving Punsri a full house. Punnat Punsri checks, and Dan Cates bets $77,000. Punnat Punsri, who now thinks he is trapping just decides to call, and the pot grows to $367,000. The river brings an inconsequential 5 of diamonds, and Punnat Punsri checks once again. Dan Cates decides to wager all of his chips and moves all in for $236,000 and Punnat Punsri snap calls. The pot reaches a massive $839,000 and Punsri is delivered the bad news as Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates reveals his quad eights and the entire poker table is in shock when Punsri shows his aces full.

The post 3 EXPLOITS To MASTER Poker Tournaments | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 5-1-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This live poker stream from the Hustler Casino in Los Angeles had an incredible lineup that featured; MrBeast, Ninja, Alexandra Botez, Ludwig, xQc, Slime, Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth & poker fan favorite Alan Keating! As to be expected, the pots were huge and the play was wild!

In this particular hand MrBeast attempts to take on Alan Keating and finds himself rivering quad queens! Can he find a way to extract value against Alan Keating’s relatively weak holding?

Jonathan discusses how Alan has a perfect hand to potentially use as a check-raise bluff on the flop as he has many backdoor draws. There would be lots of turn cards that Alan could use to continue telling his story if he were to check-raise on the flop.

Jimmy Donaldson known as MrBeast is a 24 year old American YouTuber and philanthropist. He is credited with pioneering a genre of YouTube videos that centers on expensive stunts and huge giveaways. His YouTube channel has over 146 million subscribers.

Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game player often playing in the biggest poker cash games around the world, he has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream and recently played the biggest pot ever on the show of almost $1,200,000!

In this poker cash game hand from the Hustler Casino Live stream we have Slime who is under the gun with Kd2s, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson with pocket queens in under the gun+1, Tom Dwan in the hijack with 94cc & Alan Keating in the big blind with 86cc. The blinds were set at $100/$200 with a $200 big blind ante, and there was a triple straddle in play for $1,600 by YouTube influencer Ludwig. Dawn starts with open limping which causes Alan and Slime to complete before MrBeast decides to bump it up to $5,000 to which all of the players call. The flop comes Qc 7d 6h, and MrBeast fires a bet of $5,000 with his top set. Tom decides to fold, Alan calls, and Slime folds, leaving just Alan Keating and MrBeast in the poker hand as the pot grows to $31,900. The turn is the 4s, and MrBeast continues to put the pressure on with a bet of $10,000, which Alan decides to call. The pot now stands at $51,900 as we head to the river, which reveals Qd. MrBeast has now hit quads! Alan checks again, and MrBeast makes a much larger bet of $40,000. After much deliberation Alan decides to make the call with his bluff catcher only to see the bad news as the $130,900 pot is pushed in MrBeast’s direction to help fund his next YouTube viral video!

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.

Jaman ‘The Drawing Dead’ Burton is one of my favorite poker vloggers and in this hand from the Bellagio Poker room in Las Vegas he decides to get completely out of line as he decides to try to bluff his opponent with just 5-high! Both Jonathan and Jaman give their advice on how they manage to pull off successful bluffs and they both have very different techniques, which is your favorite?

On flops that do not have very obvious draws you have to try and find draws that still have good equity. A gutshot and a backdoor flush draw is a perfect candidate to use as part of your bluffing range which is exactly what Jaman does in this hand on the flop after the pot is limped preflop and there has been no aggressive action so far.

It is important that during a poker hand you are trying to narrow your opponent’s range of hands. Jaman received some information preflop as the small blind nor the straddle decided to raise which means they are less likely to have an ace in their range.

When you are bluffing and you pick up equity on the turn you should generally continue to barrel, especially if the turn card could potentially help your range more than your opponent’s.

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.

#magnuscarlsen #highstakespoker #pokerstrategy

This live poker stream from the Hustler Casino Live was great fun to watch. For the first time in history, Magnus Carlsen, the number 1 ranked chess player in the world made his poker stream debut and played some incredible hands! In this particular hand he faced off against Alexandra Botez, another grandmaster in Chess. Mariano, the popular poker vlogger, was also in there battling and somehow managed to maintain an 87% VPIP throughout this 6-hour live poker stream, which is an insane poker stat, to say the least.

Jonathan discusses how you can and should adjust preflop raise sizes according to the game that you are playing in as well as the effective stack depth. If you have deeper stacks you can generally raise using a larger size.

He also agrees with Magnus’ strategy to triple barrel bluff when he turns a pair. You generally want to have a hand that can block your opponent’s from having an extremely strong poker hand.

Magnus Carlsen is currently the highest-ranked chess player in the world and arguably the greatest of all time. He is from Norway and is 32 years old, he has been a grandmaster since he was 14. He is the reigning five-time World Chess Champion, four-time World Rapid Chess Champion, and six-time World Blitz Chess Champion. Carlsen has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011. He also has a YouTube channel which has 957,000 subscribers.

Alexandra Botez is 27 year old grandmaster from Texas, she became a five-time Canadian National Girls Champion and won the U.S. Girls Nationals at age 15. She has appeared on the Hustler Casino Live stream before with MrBeast, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan and Alan Keating where she won over $500,000. She has 1,127,000 YouTube subscribers.

Mariano is a professional poker player and poker vlogger from America. He is a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream hosting his own $25/$50 game. He has a popular poker YouTube channel with 129,000 subscribers.

It is important to note that the table was playing the seven-deuce(72o) game. If a player wins a poker hand with 72o then everyone else at the poker table would owe them $100.

This poker hand starts with Magnus Carlsen raising to $125 with 7c2d from under the gun. He picks up calls from Alexandra Botez, Bryce Hall, Nate Hill & popular poker vlogger Mariano. The flop comes the As Th 5d and Magnus continues his story with an almost pot sized bet of $500. This does not deter Botez, Bryce & Mariano as all 3 players call with a piece of that board. The turn is 7h and Magnus does not slow down and fire’s another chunky bet, this time for $1,700. Botez who has now hit two pair decides to call and Mariano makes an ambitious call with his bottom pair. The river is 7s. Magnus who now believes he has the best hand decides to bet $4,100 and Botez raises all-in to $5,270. Magnus is shocked to see Botez reveal her full house which gives her the entire $15,925 pot.

The post WPH #455: Magnus Carlsen BLUNDERS vs Alexandra Botez’s TRAP! [$16,000 Poker Error] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This high stakes poker heads up match between Matt Berkey and Nik Airball has taken the poker world by storm. There are not many feuds in the poker community that end up in a heads up match but these two have decided to put their money where their mouth is and are battling it out at The Resorts World Poker Room in Las Vegas.

After three days of play the heads up match is extremely close with Solve4Why’s Matt Berkey winning just over $30,000. The two are due to play for 100 hours in total and are now about 20% of the way through the match.

The terms for the heads up match are as follows:

– $200/$400 (400) at Resorts World in Las Vegas – $100,000 min, no max – 3 sessions each week with 6.5hrs per session – The match will last 100 hours – Either player can quit if they end up down more than $1,000,000 – $10,000 penalty for a missed session or quitting early

This poker hand was played at The Resorts World private poker room in Las Vegas. They are playing over $270,000 deep at $200/$400. Matt Berkey raises on the button to $1,000 with 66 and Nik Airball decides to 3bet to $5,000 with QJhh and Matt Berkey defends. The flop comes K63xcc and Airball continues his aggression with a 33% bet on the flop to which Berkey calls. The turn is the Ad and Airball decides to size up using a pot sized bet on the turn. This does not deter Berkey who decides to continue by calling. The river is a beautiful card for Airball as it comes the Ts which gives him the stone cold nuts. Airball decides to use an extremely polarizing bet size as he shoves for 5x pot! Berkey cannot find the fold and calls off his stack with his set and loses the $550,000 pot!

The action begins with Pollak setting the trap by just calling rather than raising. Cigliuti then decides to raise to $110 with pocket tens. When Eubank JR. looks down at pocket kings he decides to 3-bet to $420. Pollak then comes over the top with a 4-bet to $2,000, and Cigliuti folds. Whilst Eubank JR. is deciding on his next action Pollak decides to turn over both of his cards, revealing pocket aces. After a 40-second pause, Eubank JR. reveals his kings and decides to fold.

The players decide to rabbit hunt twice to see who would have won the hand had they managed to get all of the chips into the middle. On the first board, we see the 5d Th 2h Qs 2c, which is a blank for both players but Cigliuti would have won with pocket tens. On the second board, however, we see the 8s Kh 3c 3d 4c and Eubank JR. would have flopped a set of kings!

No Gamble, No Future began as a video podcast in January 2021 with Brent Hanks and Jeff Platt as the hosts. The show aired on Tuesdays across PokerGO’s YouTube and Facebook channels and they discussed poker, sports, and gambling. While the podcast was on break, No Gamble, No Future remained a popular PokerGO brand before it evolved into a cash game show to be aired on video streaming service PokerGO. The show features many prop bets such as winning with bluffs or cracking strong hands to encourage higher VPIPs and more action.

Rampage Poker has recently been on a downswing but that all changed in this poker stream at the Hustler Casino Live as Rampage booked his biggest ever cash game win to date – over $500,000 in a single session!

Most of his profit came from the Hustler Casino Live regular Nik Airball. These two poker players battled in large pots all night with Rampage getting the best of Nik for most of them. Nik lost over $700,000 in that particular game. In this particular poker hand Nik cannot believe what Rampage Poker does and in less than 3 seconds too! It put him on complete mega tilt after this $312,900 pot and Nik Airball went on to lose over $750,000 at the poker table on the live stream.

In this poker hand I look at a crazy hero call that Rampage made against Nik. Rampage also known as Ethan Yau would have known that Nik was tilted at this point in the game which would have been a factor he considered when deciding to make a $110,000 call on the river.

Making mistakes in poker tournaments can cost you your entire stack. The days are long and you must stay focused to play your best poker game!

In this live poker webinar I am going to teach you the 3 biggest mistakes that I often see poker players make and what you can do to avoid these in poker tournaments.

It is always important that you are aware of the effective stack depth in any given hand so that you can adjust your poker strategy accordingly. You can make big mistakes if you think your opponent is playing the same stack as you but then you find out that they are extremely short stacked and they have just check-raised all in on the flop! You might have decided to check this flop had you known that they did not have many chips.

Being well rested and aware that tournaments can be long is vitally important to making strong decisions throughout the day. One lapse in your judgment could cause a huge blunder and you could lose your entire stack and poker tournament life.

On this Poker Coaching channel we cover a weekly poker topic to help improve your poker strategy!

In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up? #pokerstrategy #pokertournaments #pokermistakes As a professional poker player, I need to be able to consistently focus throughout the day.

The post 3 MISTAKES To AVOID In Poker Tournaments! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 3-20-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

#wsop #pokerstrategy #rampagepoker

Jonathan is joined by popular poker vlogger – Rampage Poker! They discuss and analyze a poker hand that Rampage played during a $2,000 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) event.

While not a hyper turbo, this event is fast and packed with action. This poker hand starts with Rampage opening from the hijack with KJo and he picks up two callers; the cut off and small blind. The effective stack depth is important in this hand as it is only about 30bb which generally means that a players stack off threshold should be lower as there is less playability than if the effective stack was 100bb.

The flop K32xss gives Rampage top pair and a backdoor flush draw. Jonathan discusses the merits of potentially using this hand to check/raise. He explains how he thinks that a lot of poker players overfold in multiway pots which causes him to bet at a higher frequency than Game Theory Optimal (GTO) might suggest.

However, in general you should be checking a lot in multiway pots with your marginal made hands as it is difficult to correctly identify all of your opponent’s ranges. For this reason you should also be mixing in some value hands to check-raise with. Jonathan also discusses which specific poker hands might want to check-raise as a semi-bluff.

Remember that when opponents call a small check raise their range will be wider than if they call a bigger check raise. Use this extra information to help you narrow their range and proceed accordingly. As the effective stack becomes shallower, your bet and raise sizes should be smaller so that you can work in more bluffs that can fold to a raise or 3-bet.

Jonathan explains that hands you should find to hero call are ones that beat all of the draws and when those draws do not come in on the turn. It is important to have a poker hand that does not block the draws that your opponent could have.

On this Poker Coaching channel we cover a weekly poker topic to help improve your poker strategy!

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street?

The post How To CRUSH Aggressive Poker Players! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-27-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

#pokerbunny #hustlercasino

Two of the poker regulars from the Max Pain Monday show find themselves in a set over set situation for a rather sizable $16,000 pot!

When you are in position, closing the action and getting good odds to set mine with a deep effective stack you should be calling to try and hit!

The 765cxc flop is a miserable one for overpairs as it is extremely co-ordinated and it favors the caller’s range more than the 3-bettors. Jonathan discusses the raise size that Poker Bunny decides to use on the flop. He talks about why on such co-ordinated boards it is better to use a larger raise size to reduce the stack to pot ratio which gives you more chance of getting all of the money in by the river.

Jonathan discusses the factors you should consider when deciding to go for thin value on the river. What hands can your opponent have that you beat that will still call?

This poker hand took place during the Max Pain Monday show on the Hustler Casino Live Stream in California! In this $10/$20/$40 cash game, DJ Washburn raises to $120 from the hijack with Qd9s. Poker Bunny calls from the cutoff with 5h5d. Sia The Bot wakes up with pocket kings in the small blind and decides to 3-bet to $700. This makes DJ Washburn folds but Poker Bunny decides to go set hunting and calls, which bloats the pot to $1,600 as they head to the flop.

The flop comes 7c 6h 5c which gives Poker Bunny bottom set on an extremely co-ordinated board. Sia The Bot continuation bets for $400. Poker Bunny decides not to slow play and raises to $1,000 which Sia The Bot calls, bringing the pot to $3,600.

The turn is the Kc which now gives Sia The Bot top set. She now decides to slow down and opts for a check. Poker Bunny still believes she has the best hand decides to bet $1,300 and Sia The Bot calls, bringing the total pot to $6,200.

The river is 2h, and Sia The Bot checks again. Poker Bunny decides to move all-in for $4,950. Sia The Bot gives it some thought. Although she has an extremely strong hand, it is not the nuts which makes her think that Poker Bunny could have her beat. In the end, Sia The Bot does make the call and Poker Bunny reveals her poker hand as if she has the winner and is shocked to see the chips be pushed in Sia The Bot’s direction!

This poker hand showcases the importance of careful hand reading, aggressive play, and strong decision-making in cash games. Don’t forget to practice these skills in your own games, and good luck at the poker tables!

The post 3 TIPS To INCREASE Your Poker WIN RATE! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 3-6-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

#pokerstrategy #highstakespoker #pokergo

PokerCoaching coach Aram Zobian manages to successfully pull off the very rare double check raise whilst he is heads up for a PokerGo Cup title!

Jonathan discusses the importance of having a balanced check-raising range. You should be finding good semi-bluffs to use as check-raises and not only your strong value hands.

Punsri’s hand becomes a pure bluff catcher after Zobian decides to fire in the double check raise on the turn. Punsri really has to decide whether he thinks Zobian is going to get out of line in this particular spot before deciding to continue. This was the 3rd PokerGo Cup series. It took place from January 11th – 20th 2023, in the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. There were 8 events on the schedule, all were No-Limit Hold’em. Buy-ins ranged from $10,000 to $50,000.

Aram Zobian is an American professional poker player with just over $3,200,000 in live earnings. The bulk of that came in the 2018 WSOP Main Event when he finished 6th for $1,800,000 (John Cynn was the champion that year).

Punnat Punsri is a Thai poker player. He is a regular on the PokerGO Tour and Triton series. Punsri has $4,800,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest live cash coming in September 2022 at a Triton $100,000 event in Cyprus. He won the event for $2,600,000.

In the 2023 PokerGO Cup Event #2 $10K NLHE tournament at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, Punsri and Zobian were in a heads-up battle to win the title. Punsri had As7h, and Zobian held 8c6d. With 46BB and 81BB respectively, Punsri called from the button and Zobian checked. They saw a flop of 8s 8h 7d. After Zobian checked, Punsri bet 80,000, to which Zobian’s reply was a raise to 225,000. Punsri called. The turn brought a 2s. Zobian checked one more and Punsri took the bait as he bet 320,000. Zobian then pulls off the unthinkable and attempts the double check-raise as he bumps it up to 910,000. A confused Punsri decides to call. The river was a 2d, and Zobian empties the clip and puts Punsri to the test for his poker tournament life. Punsri made the call, but lost the hand. Zobian was then crowned the champion and earnt $207,500!

The post WPH #449: One Of The RAREST Moves In POKER! [$207,500 For 1st!] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

PokerGO’s recent Cash Of The Titans was filled with crazy action and huge pots. It was no surprise that they broke the record for the biggest pot in American TV poker history when Eric Persson clashed horns with long time poker professional Patrik Antonius!

This version of No Gamble, No Future was called “Cash Of The Titans”. Blinds started at $500/$500 and increased every three hours. Players also posted $100,000 on the side, and the biggest winner at the end of Day 3 of play was awarded a $600,000 bonus.

This poker hand happens during the third and final day of the show so the players have been playing with each other consistently for about 14 hours and have built up a lot of history together especially from playing the stand up game where every player stands and you can only sit down when you win a poker hand (you must show the table your winning hand).

This poker hand starts with Persson in the hijack who raises to $7,000. Rob Yong calls on the button before Patrik Antonius decides to 3-bet to $30,000. Both Eric and Rob call. The flop gives Eric and Antonius a flush draw which is where the fireworks happen. Antonius continues his story with a slightly under half pot bet. Persson decides to take the aggressive line and raises to $140,000. This forces Yong to fold and Antonius decides to click it back to $250,000 and Persson calls. On the turn Antonius decides to bet about 25% pot. Persson’s response is to rip his entire stack in the middle for $692,000! Antonius doesn’t take too much time before calling and leaves Persson drawing dead in the biggest ever pot in American TV history!

The post WPH #448: $1,978,000 – The BIGGEST Pot In American TV Poker HISTORY! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Garrett Adelstein is a regular in the high stakes cash games on Hustler Casino Live. Today his opponent is a newcomer to the show who is just named as Tim and he has a mystery poker hand!

Jonathan talks about what range of hands like to re-raise preflop when playing deep stacked out of position; decent suited connectors fall in this category which is exactly the hand that Garrett ‘Gman’ Adelstein has in this poker hand.

If you are only using the strongest hands to re-raise with preflop then you do not have a decent board coverage when the flop contains low cards. As you get deeper stacked you will want to be using a wider range of hands to 3-bet with.

As a poker player you have likely run into a fair few bad beats in your time at the poker tables. But has it ever happened in two run outs in the same hand?

The post 3 COMMON Preflop LEAKS & How To FIX Them! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-13-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself in a dream spot in the Bellagio poker room whilst playing $5/$10 as he flops a flush against a splashy recreational poker player. Can he find a way to get max value?

Jonathan discusses what you should think about when deciding to isolate pre-flop against players that like to limp. He also discusses that a Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach prefers to use a small bet size on monotone flops (flops that are all one suit). When players use a larger bet size you should be much tighter in the range that you decide to call and continue with.

Jonathan talks about a mistake that a lot of poker players make which is attempting to put their opponent’s on a very specific hand rather than a range of hands. Don’t be this type of poker player!

The hand starts with a limp from the under the gun recreational player. Brad Owen decides to raise on the button to isolate his opponent with a speculative 85hh. The big blind cold calls and under the gun decides to call as well. The flop is one that we dream of as it comes KQT all hearts giving Brad a flopped flush. Brad continues using a large bet size and the recreational player calls. The turn is a brick 2d and Brad continues using a large size which the recreational poker player calls. The river is a clean 7s and Brad shoves all in for a pot sized bet. Will he get maximum value from the recreational?

The post How I WON $169,850 At The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure! [PCA 2023] | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-6-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In this weekly poker hand Jonathan reviews a spot that Jaman ‘The Drawing Dead’ Burton found himself in at the Bellagio poker room in Las Vegas whilst playing a $5/$10/$20 cash game.

Remember that when you are playing in a game that has a straddle that the stack sizes in big blinds are essentially divided in half. Make sure that you adjust your ranges and poker strategy accordingly!

When you are looking to isolate preflop with a raise you should look to use a larger size when you are out of position. This will hurt the implied odds of many suited connectors as the stack to pot ratio will decrease which helps give you a small advantage as you are playing out of position.

Jonathan discusses the questions you should be asking yourself when deciding on the optimal bet size in any given situation at the poker table. An exploitative strategy against recreational poker players is to size up with your value hands as they will tend to continue with the exact same range regardless of bet size (within reason!)

Jaman Burton faces a raise on the flop after he has isolated preflop with pocket queens. Both Jaman and Jonathan discuss what range of poker hands would potentially be doing this. Jonathan suggests that sets should not be raising as they are unlikely to be outdrawn on this board considering Jaman’s raise preflop which narrows his range to strong overcards and overpairs.

Jonathan’s read on the turn is that Jaman’s opponent is trying to look as strong as he can by jamming all in very quickly after Jaman decides to check. Most of the time when opponents are doing this Jonathan believes that they are bluffing!
