How To STUDY Poker EFFECTIVELY | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 6-6-2022



PokerCoaching.com coach Matt Affleck says “For every hour you spend at the poker table, you should spend an hour studying away from the table”. While putting time into your poker study can be effective, you won’t see the full benefit unless you know how to study poker effectively.

To study poker effectively, you must utilize materials that engage you through active learning. For a lot of aspiring poker players, simply reading a poker strategy book is not enough to retain and implement new concepts into your game. Want to improve your three-betting ability preflop? It would likely be wise to quiz yourself on proper three-betting ranges and spots. At PokerCoaching.com, we have an extensive variety of hand quizzes, preflop charts, and other resources that can help you take your game to the next level.

As a professional poker player, I need to be able to consistently focus throughout the day. I used to drink a lot of coffee to help with focus, but it would inevitably lead to a crash. Then, I discovered BRÈINFÚEL.⁣

It combines everything you need including natural caffeine, MTC oil, vitamin C, vitamin E and collagen to give long lasting energy in a healthy way that allows you to focus your best all day long.⁣

WPH #410: RAMPAGE Poker BATTLES The World’s BEST Players

In this Weekly Poker Hand Rampage Poker finds himself battling against recent Super High Roller Bowl winner and high stakes tournament crusher Jake Schindler.

Rampage Poker is taking a shot in a big poker tournament in the PokerGO Studio, Las Vegas as he finds himself also sat at a table with poker professionals Daniel ‘KidPoker’ Negreanu and Johan ‘YoH ViraL’ Guilbert.

In this particular hand Rampage finds out why it is difficult to compete with these high stakes poker tournament crushers as Jake Schindler applies maximum pressure with huge bet sizes.

“When you are out of position in a multiway pot you should be doing a lot of checking” – Jonathan Little

When you do check out of position you should be looking to check-raise your best made hands that are vulnerable to being outdrawn. Having said that, if you are facing an opponent who bluffs frequently you should be more inclined to call to give them every chance to continue bluffing.

High stakes tournament players may tend to overbluff against players that they believe are playing for money that is too big for them therefore they might be scared to call off their stack with their marginal hands.

Thank you to Rampage Poker for allowing me to use the footage from this poker vlog. Check out his amazing poker channel here: https://youtube.com/rampagepoker

WPH #409: Daniel NEGREANU’s MASTERCLASS In BLUFFING [Old School vs New School]

Daniel ‘KidPoker’ Negreanu faces a very strange min bet on the river by Ali Imsirovic. In this video I discuss the poker strategy you should use when facing min-bets and how to counter them!

Negreanu stands the hand by raising preflop with pocket eights and Ali Imsirovic defends the big blind. The hand plays out fairly straightforward from there until they both reach the river and then Ali decides to min-bet for just over 10% pot!

Daniel Negreanu is known to be a great live poker player as he uses his reading ability to frequently make the correct decisions at the poker table. Does he manage to sniff this one out and pick up a live poker tell from Ali Imsirovic? Watch the video and find out!

WPH #408: Pocket ACES Facing An OVERBET For Lex O Poker

There is no sweeter feeling in poker than to be dealt pocket aces when playing in a deep stacked cash game! This is exactly the situation that poker vlogger Lex O poker finds himself in playing at the Wynn Poker Room in Las Vegas.

What makes this poker cash game hand even more exciting is that he faces a preflop 3bet from a villain who then decides to call his 4bet. There is already $1,000 (100 big blinds) in the pot heading to the flop!

It is always important to recognize who your opponent is at the table and adjust your poker strategy accordingly. Are they a poker professional or a recreational poker player?

Remember to realize that some portion of the time your opponents will look to bluff you off hands when you decide to play more passively postflop.

How To Play DRAWS [Poker STRATEGY] | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 5-16-2022

You can’t expect to flop the nuts every time. Often when you hit a straight or flush, it will come on the turn or the river. While it is easy to play a made hand, it is important to study how to navigate draws that have the potential of eventually “getting there”. Today, we will discuss draws, and how to properly play them in various spots.

Whether flopping an open-ender with suited connectors or having a gutshot and flush-draw with ace-five suited, the separation is in the preparation when it comes to playing your draws. Drawing hands often results in large pots by the river, making it critical you keep your composure and remember the fundamentals, such as how many outs you have or what ranges you should be playing.

As a professional poker player, I need to be able to consistently focus throughout the day. I used to drink a lot of coffee to help with focus, but it would inevitably lead to a crash. Then, I discovered BRÈINFÚEL.⁣

It combines everything you need including natural caffeine, MTC oil, vitamin C, vitamin E and collagen to give long lasting energy in a healthy way that allows you to focus your best all day long.⁣

MrBeast, Ninja, Hellmuth & Dwan – MADNESS At The Poker Tables | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 5-9-2022



Despite being poker’s best, Tom Dwan and Phil Hellmuth couldn’t have anticipated the action when they came face-to-face with YouTube and Twitch royalty. MrBeast, Ludwig, and Ninja, GOATs in their own right, made their way to the Hustler Casino in Los Angeles to not just challenge durrrr and the Poker Brat, but to also compete against fellow content creators. Six figure stacks, 7-2 offsuit all-in’s, and even a potential angle, this live stream truly had it all as industries collided.

Maniacal poker players can leave even seasoned pros guessing. When an opponent adopts an aggressive, wild style, lucrative pots can be intimidating as players willing to gamble can be shoving with aces as well as total junk. Maintaining a sound strategy while also adjusting to exploit, were Dwan and Hellmuth able to crush the competition like many predicted?
