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.

🔍 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!

The WSOP has ended, so let’s wrap up some of the wildest hands, craziest stories, Main Event controversies, and everything else! To join the $2,000 PokerCoaching Freeroll on CoinPoker, sign-up here: https://pokercoaching.com/freeroll

The main event controversy began with a photo of a well-known top pro, showing preflop charts on HRC to Jonathan Tomayo while he was heads-up in the WSOP Main Event. Do you think things like this should be allowed?

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.

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.

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.

🔍 Preflop: With the $200 straddle on, Viper limps in with AKo from under the gun +2. Dan Cates raises to $1,000 from the button with pocket jacks. After the small blind folds, Taras decides to 3-bet to $3,400 with 94 of diamonds. Viper calls with his big slick, and Jungleman calls with the jiggities.

💸 Flop – Th 9h 9c: Taras out flops his opponents with trip nines. He fires a continuation bet of $4,500. Viper folds ace king, but Jungleman sticks around with his overpair and they go to the turn heads up.

💣 Turn – 6c: The 6 of clubs on the turn introduces a second flush draw and brings in a possible straight. Taras fires a second barrel of $15,000. Jungleman calls again and they head to the river.

🌊 River – 5c: The backdoor flush comes in on the 5 of clubs river. Taras slows down and checks with his trip nines. Jungleman attempts to extract some value with his overpair to the board. He bets $21,500 for just under half-pot. Taras doesn’t call straight away; instead, he turns his cards over to try and get a read from the online poker legend. 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.

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!

If you make mistakes preflop, you will compound these mistakes by making more on the flop, turn, and river. In online cash games, 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!

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

Immediately jumping into being a ‘poker pro’ is not the best idea. Try to find a job, keep your expenses low, and study a ton – improving your skills consistently as you look to become a good poker player.

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.

🔍 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? Stick around to the end of this poker video to find out!
