What do poker players know about love any ways?

 

[John A]

I promise to get on to some poker topics here again soon, but this one I had to speak out about.

Thanks... I love CC members so it makes it easy to exchange ideas and learn.

If you signup on the blog page, you'll just get e-mails when I update. I don't and won't use it for anything else, ie marketing, sharing, etc... so if you want to keep up easily just put your e-mail in.

Have fun on your travels.

Ok... back to it my friends. I had to take the summer off.

New post and update: Poker blog

 

[John A]

Alright, I think you should get some valuable info from this one. New video on high equity bluffing spots in position. I discuss some differences in flop texture and hands.

Let me know what you think. These videos should help or give you something to think about.

 

[John A]

Thanks. Correcto... I had a super busy summer so took a bit of a break. But I plan on doing more hand analysis and article writing going forward. Also, getting some of these videos up from time to time as well.

 

[John A]

I wrote a pretty good article I think on weighting hand ranges today...

Good luck on your quest.

 

[John A]

Thank you! I'm going to put up a lot of free and good strategy up there. And hopefully some interesting stories as well.

Here's a spot I thought was funny and pretty common in micro stakes:

Some interesting studies on testosterone and power:

Since I've done a ton of work with Poker Tracker and Holdem Manager over the years, I did a little write up about the differences and where each of them excel. I hope this helps some people out who are trying to decide.

I put up a couple of poker questions from my new Polished Poker Workbook. Both of them are about facing 3-bets in marginal spots. Don't peek at the answers until you think about it.

Some comments on strategy about the min-raise:

John,

Thank you so much (again) for taking the time to share your work with us. I generally 3x except when I'm on the button, when I will 2.5 x against tighter players who will fold a wider range and 3bet me less. What is your opinion on this?

 

[John A]

YW... thanks for reading.

3x the BB is great, and 2.5x on button is ok. But if you can do more, depending on your stakes, do it. I mean unless you're planning on playing 36%+ of your hands and outplay everyone, there's really no reason not to raise more and exploit the weaker players that will still call with the same range that they'd call for 2x. You're really only helping the regs in your game to do otherwise imho. I think it's a completely misunderstood strategy applied at stakes where it shouldn't be.

 

[guicor30]

that's good to know that poker was your main income for your family.
hopefully one day I can live poker.

 

[John A]

It's more for vacation money now a days. I don't play the same stakes or the same volume. Maybe when poker is completely legal again in the US and regulated I'll return to more regular play.

Great , good luck. Seems to be very interesting

Some comments on strategy about the min-raise:

Yep makes sense to me...The only time i'm toning it down to a min raise is utg with a premium or against an 3 bet monkey on my left.

Here's a rant I have to make, and then I have some upcoming interviews with Krantz, and Jared Tendler in the next blogs.
