Weekly Poker Hand #353: This hand was a memorable moment in the High Stakes Duel between Daniel Negreanu & Phil Hellmuth. After seeing what Daniel Negreanu called him with, Hellmuth went off on one of his classic rants only to be handed a box of tissues to ‘wipe away his tears’. Hellmuth proceeded to throw them over his shoulder and almost break part of the beautiful PokerGO studio! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Do...

Weekly Poker Hand #352: Daniel Negreanu has always been known to make some insane reads throughout his poker career and this hand is another one that can be added to the list. Phil Hellmuth was shocked at Negreanu’s play on the river which was executed perfectly and was arguably on another level! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ It has been confirmed that these two poker powerhouses are going to battle once again in the Pok...

Weekly Poker Hand #351: Phil Hellmuth has always been an entertaining poker personality and in this hand during the High Stakes Duel he lost his cool with Daniel Negreanu stating: ‘What you did to me was criminal.’ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This specific hand has split a lot of the poker community with the way it was played by both Hellmuth & Negreanu. Do you think Negreanu should have raised on the flop to stac...

Too many of my students tend to just play small pairs to hit sets on the flop and just give up if they don’t. While this might be right in certain situations like big multiway pots there are definitely spots where players are losing a lot of money by just folding. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ In this live webinar I am going to run through various situations where we can have a variety of different options other than to...

Weekly Poker Hand #350: This is a brilliant hand from the latest season of High Stakes Poker between Bryn Kenney and Brandon Steven. In this analysis, I highlight the importance of really thinking about the range of hands that might call when deciding to value bet and how this should determine the size of your bet. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Bryn Kenney is currently the all time money leader for live tournaments boast...

Weekly Poker Hand #349: Nick Petrangelo finds himself looking down the barrel of an $80,000 bet on the river with a marginal made hand against a very aggressive Lynne Ji on High Stakes Poker. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ In this hand we look at it from Petrangelo’s perspective when he decides to flat a preflop 4 bet with A10 off suit on the button against Lynne Ji. ⁣ Do you think this was an easy call for Petrangelo to...

Weekly Poker Hand #348: On the most recent series of High Stakes Poker, Jean Robert Bellande plays this hand perfectly against Tom Dwan in an attempt to extract maximum value from his full house. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ JRB does an excellent job of creating a loose & carefree image at the table. In this particular episode he is seen to be drinking very expensive wine from a huge Vegas goblet which could be one...

A common mistake I see students making is not adapting their strategy according to their stack depth. You must always remember that your range will alter depending on your own stack size as well as your opponents’ stack sizes. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ In this live webinar I will be teaching you how to adapt your 3 betting strategy at multiple stack depths and remind you that you must always be aware of how many big...

Weekly Poker Hand #347: It’s not everyday someone flops quads but when they do it can sometimes be difficult to extract maximum value. In this hand from High Stakes Poker, Brandon Steven finds himself in a multiway pot with flopped quads. Facing a bet from Tom Dwan and a call from Bryn Kenney, can he get maximum value? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I’d be interested to know how the old Tom Dwan would have played this han...

Let me know in the comments below if you like this style and I will aim to do some more! ⁣ Salomon bets a Lamborgh...

Some of the biggest mistakes I see from my students come from playing in the big blind. It is a tricky position to navigate as you will more often than not be out of position. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Once you have learnt the correct ranges to defend from the big blind, the next step is figuring out what to do when you face a continuation bet on the flop. ⁣ ⁣ Generally we want to simplify our game tree and decision...

Weekly Poker Hand #345: In the old episodes of High Stakes Poker Tom Dwan was known to be hyper aggressive as he consistently put his opponents in tricky situations. The new Tom Dwan that we’ve seen in this season has proved to be a lot more tame as he is looking to have a more standardized GTO approach to his hands.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ In this hand against Rick Salomon he attempts for some thin value on the riv...

A common mistake I see from my students is not finding the right spots to value bet on the river. Some people value bet far too wide and some don’t bet wide enough! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ It’s important to always keep in mind what your range looks like on the river but also to figure out what range of hands your opponent will have made it there as well. ⁣ ⁣ Today I will teach you the adjustments you need to make t...

Weekly Poker Hand #344: JRB takes on Rick Salomon in this hand and plays it beautifully, extracting a huge amount of value. He correctly identifies that Salomon likes to bluff and induces him on the river with a check. Will Salomon take the bait?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Bellande has been known to give himself the nickname ‘Broke Living’ but after this poker hand on the new series of High Stakes Poker he should be ab...

One of the biggest downfalls of promising poker players is not being able to contain their degeneracy.

If you r...

Weekly Poker Hand #342: Ever since Tom Dwan has returned to playing on TV there has been a lot of discussion about the differences between ‘Old’ Tom and the ‘New’ Tom. ⁣ ⁣ The ‘Old’ Tom would have taken a completely different line on the river here but he does make an incredibly correct read on Rick Salomon.⁣ Would you have ever checked behind on the river in Tom’s spot? Unreal! When I first heard...

One of the many leaks that I see in poker players is not having the ability to adapt their strategy relative to their stack size. Many players will play the same way regardless of how many big blinds they have. ⁣ ⁣ It is vital that you are constantly changing your ranges depending on not only your own stack size but your opponents stacks as well. ⁣ In this live webinar I am going to take you throu...

Weekly Poker Hand #341: Although Lynne Ji may not be as well known as some of the other players, she does a fantastic job in this hand by showing the poker world why she is a force to be reckoned with. ⁣⁣ ⁣ In this poker hand Lynne Ji takes on Brandon Stevens and applies maximum pressure as she goes for a three barrel bluff. If you mix this with some super smooth speech play then surely it becomes...
