Two of the biggest poker vloggers battle it out in this high stakes cash game hand. Rampage Poker takes on his good friend Mariano in a $81,000 pot!

We view this poker hand from Rampage’s perspective as he wakes up with pocket jacks aka pocket jiggities (coined by the popular Brad Owen!). He faces extreme aggression from Mariano after he faces a 4 bet preflop and then very large bet sizes on the turn and river.

Jonathan discusses what things you should consider when deciding to raise or call against small bet sizes with hands that are vulnerable.

As your opponent’s are more loose & aggressive you should be inclined to make lighter calls against them as their range to continue will contain more bluffs. It is important to be counting combinations of hands that your opponent could have to determine whether they will have enough bluffs in their range. This will help you decide as to whether you should continue in the poker hand or not.

It is well known that Rampage Poker (Ethan Yau) is good friends with Mariano but as you will find out in this poker hand, there are no friends at the poker table!

When two big poker personalities clash in a poker hand you know there is going to be fireworks!

MrDrBatman, a regular on the Lodge Live poker stream, took on businessman and professional trash talker Eric Persson.

This is a huge high stakes poker cash game on the Hustler Casino Live stream as they are playing $200/400/$800 with a $1,600 straddle in this hand! MrDrBatman opens the action with a raise to $5,000 with pocket queens and he picks up 3 callers. On a flop of AT8xhh he decides to take an unconventional line and bet large into this multiway pot.

When you are out of position and playing in multiway pots you should only really continue betting with a very tight linear range.

The poker drama happens on the river when Eric Persson starts to trash talk MrDrBatman after he wins a huge pot off him, do you think he was out of line?

In this video I will answer a common question that I am often asked by my poker students: Am I lucky or good at poker?

It is very easy as a poker player to believe that winning one tournament means that you are a great player. While in some cases that might be correct in others it could also be far from the truth!

To win any poker tournament, you are going to have to be lucky at some point! You are either going to bink to win all-ins or get dealt numerous strong preflop hands.

Remember that sample size is everything. You will need to play a large number of tournaments or hours at the cash game tables to get a better understanding of whether you are getting your money in good more often than not!

Professional poker players understand very clearly how variance works in poker tournaments and poker cash games. They are aware that it takes a combination of luck and skill to win at poker.

On this Poker Coaching channel we cover a weekly poker topic to help improve your poker strategy!

In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

The best poker players in the world excel at identifying their opponent’s mistakes and exploiting them for maximum profit. Long before GTO was around, exploitative poker was the root of all poker strategy for poker tournaments and cash games. If you can find a game with plenty of bad poker players, knowing how to exploit their mistakes will take you far.

Today, I will be discussing how to best exploit your opponents and start winning whether you play low stakes or high stakes poker. Considering what your opponents do wrong and knowing how to take advantage will help you grow your poker bankroll over time. Do you struggle knowing what to do against splashy opponents that bluff too much? How about overly tight poker players that only play pocket aces? Regardless of who you are facing on the felt, if you are well studied in exploitative poker strategy you will crush!

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.

This is the biggest pot that has ever been played on the Hustler Casino Live at a staggering $870,000!

Henri ‘buttonclickr’ Puustinen is no stranger to the high stakes. He is an online heads up end boss and was one of Doug Polk’s coaches when he battled against Daniel Negreanu.

Nik Airball is a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream and is known to lend out huge amounts of money to other players at the poker table just to keep the action alive! This man loves to gamble and we can clearly see that as he decides to 3-bet preflop with a low suited connector.

The cooler was set up on the flop after buttonclickr flops a set and Nik flops the nuts. All of the money goes on a safe turn for Nik’s hand. Can buttonclickr find a board pair on the river?

I discuss what things you should consider when deciding whether to bet or check as the preflop aggressor. Always think in terms of ranges!

This hand features an old school poker legend and a new school poker legend. It’s Phil Ivey vs Garrett Adelstein on the Hustler Casino Live stream!

This game was one of the highest stakes that Hustler Casino Live has seen as they were playing $200/$400/$800/$1600 in this particular poker hand!

Garrett Adelstein has been known to say that Phil Ivey was one of his favorite poker players when he was growing up so it was no surprise he pounced at the opportunity to tangle with him in a high stakes poker hand!

I discuss and explain why when you are playing extremely deep stacked your 3-bet sizes from out of position should be much larger than normal. One big factor that you should consider when defending against large 3-bets are your implied odds.

There is a reason why Phil Ivey is considered to be the greatest poker player of all time! This weekly poker hand shows exactly why!

In this poker hand Phil Ivey battles a regular of the Hustler Casino Live stream – Andy Stacks. Andy in his own right is a fantastic poker player but he openly admitted on this stream that he was a big Phil Ivey fanboy and couldn’t wait to play a hand against him! Well he managed to get his wish but I imagine he was hoping to make some more money from him after he turns a flush.

The hand starts with a 3-bet from Ivey preflop with AKo and Andy decides to defend his open with K9s. The flop goes check/check and on the turn when Andy turns the flush he makes an overbet. Fortunately for Andy, Ivey has now made top pair. Can Ivey sniff out this value bet from Andy and find a way to fold an extremely strong poker hand?

This particular poker stream had some of the most talked about characters in the poker industry right now including Robbi Jade Lew & Garrett Adelstein. This poker hand happened just before the hand that everyone has been talking about!

This hand analysis was part of my Weekly Poker Hand series. I have been covering a poker hand every week for over 8 years!

This Weekly Poker Hand features PokerCoaching.com coach Matt Affleck who is deep in a World Series of Poker event.

This poker hand took place in the WSOP – Millionaire Maker with less than 100 players left and over $1,000,000 for 1st! Matt finds himself heads-up against a British poker professional – Nick Marchington. Nick made the final table of the WSOP Main Event so he is certainly capable and is known to be a very strong poker player.

The hand starts with Affleck raising from the lojack and Marchington defending the big blind. The paired flop creates an interesting discussion point over range advantage and how best to proceed on these types of flops as the pre-flop aggressor. We also discuss the merits of geometric bet sizing and when best to use this type of betting.

It is important to note when playing any poker hand – who is your opponent and what do you presume their skill level to be? This will help you determine what types of hands they will choose to play which allows you to narrow their range and proceed accordingly.

Unlike poker tournaments, every poker chip at a cash game table has a definite dollar amount. Your entire chip stack can go into the pot at any moment, and you would rather get it in good than bluff off all of your money for no reason. While Garrett Adelstein and Phil Ivey may make it look easy, they have dedicated years to studying poker and reducing the mistakes they make at the poker table.

If you repeatedly make the same mistake over and over again playing poker, you have developed a leak that requires fixing! Whether you are three-betting too wide out of position or can’t seem to avoid tilt during online poker sessions, spending time to identify your mistakes and correct them will help grow your bankroll in the long run.

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.
