World Poker Tour – OLD SCHOOL POKER HANDS | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 5-2-2022



For nearly twenty years, the World Poker Tour has been an established and respected entity in the poker world. While poker tournaments continue to draw players, few have been able to replicate the prestige and history preserved by those hosted by the WPT. Poker players from all over the world consistently gather to compete for not just millions of dollars, but to add their names amongst some of the game’s best.

The longevity of long established professional poker players like Erik Seidel and Doyle Brunson shows there is much to learn from poker’s veterans. While the list of players deemed “the best in the world” changes constantly, the Daniel Negreanu’s and Phil Ivey’s of the world demonstrate how dedication to the game of poker can preserve relevancy. Today, I look back at some old school poker hands from tapings of the World Poker Tour. Being a two-time World Poker Tour champion myself, there is a good chance you see me in some of the footage!

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 #404: Pocket KINGS In A TOUGH SPOT [WSOP MAIN EVENT]



In this hand I channel my inner Phil Hellmuth and use his white magic in the World Series Of Poker Main Event!

It’s always a great feeling being dealt pocket kings on the button in the WSOP Main Event. After I decide to raise preflop I face a 3bet from the small blind who had been playing very straight forward throughout the day.

My spidey-senses were tingling and I decided to just call, which according to James Romero is GTO solver approved! From there the poker hand gets very interesting and it leads to a tough spot on the river.

I love working with James Romero and he gives us some fantastic insight into how your base poker strategy should adapt depending on whether you are playing freezeout tournaments or rebuy tournaments.

We also talk about how you must look to adapt from GTO and play more exploitative poker in the live setting when you are not playing against GTO players!

WPH #403: Poker PROFESSIONAL Makes A SOUL READ



Jason Koon is one of the best tournament poker players in the world and this video is a rare treat that gives us an insight into how poker professionals process their decisions at the tables! After talking it through he makes an amazing soul read and ultimately makes the right decision!

This poker hand comes from a final table at the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas. Jason Koon is put to the test for his entire tournament life by another poker professional, John Riordan.

Jason Koon finds himself in a tricky spot holding top pair but with a very weak kicker. Can he make the hero call and pick off this bluff from Riordan?

In this video I discuss the poker strategy that you should use when deciding whether to call or fold in difficult situations.

Thanks to PokerGO for allowing me to use this amazing content, check out their channel here: https://youtube.com/pokergo

WPH #402: Phil HELLMUTH DESTROYS Recreational Player



Love him or hate him, Phil Hellmuth aka The Poker Brat always provides entertainment at the poker table! In this hand from the Hustler Casino Live High Stakes Poker Cash Game he’s put in a tough spot by a recreational player!

Phil Hellmuth is no stranger to battling in high stakes cash games on live poker streams and although he has a tough decision to make he is in his element as he starts talking to his opponent. When he works through the hand out loud he realizes what he needs to do and proceeds to destroy the recreational player with a great call.

Exploitative poker is an approach that Hellmuth prides himself on as he has quite openly stated that he does not study nor apply the theory of GTO (Game Theory Optimal) poker strategy. When you watch this cash game poker hand you might scratch your head but you have to remember that Phil Hellmuth has likely played this game of poker for many more years than you have!

WPH #401: BATTLING For $200,000 At A FINAL TABLE!



High Stakes Tournaments are a BATTLE! This hand that I played from a recent PokerGO Final Table shows exactly that. You have to be willing to fight hard for pots, apply pressure when needed, and really go for it when you’re the chip leader at a big final table!

Players that treat the final table of a tournament just like other stages are making huge errors! This is because there are huge ICM considerations. In this video, I’ll talk about how ICM effects my strategy and how if you’re not ready to battle for pots, you’re going to be making big mistakes against strong players.

I hope you enjoy this final table strategy, where I battle with high stakes regs for over $200,000!

How To WIN Your HOME POKER GAME? | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 4-4-2022



While I often discuss poker strategy and content taking place in casinos and online, rarely do I cover where many of my students play poker the most: their very own homes! Today, I am going to cover what you need to know to dominate your home games and help you make a profit in any man cave.

With the majority of home games being made up of recreational poker players, reviewing proper reads and ranges will better prepare you to beat loose, splashy players. While you may be the better poker player, that won’t matter if you fail to take your opposing players seriously.
