Double backdoor bluffs with Turlough McHugh
Barry once again recruits one of Dara's professional poker player friends to coach him on a poker hand. In this new video Turlough McHugh helps Barry review a spot where he check/raised with double backdoors on the flop, hits the perfect 2nd barrel bluff card on the turn, then rivers the worst case in the deck.

How to exploit the 'Let's Keep it Friendly' bet
zhlédnutí 298Před 5 měsíci
In another example of node-locking from the new book Beyond GTO, Barry and Dara look at a common leak at low stakes. This is the 'Let's Keep it Friendly' bet, whereby the player leads small with weak hands in an attempt to keep the post small. Most players have the wrong instinct on how to defend against this type of bet. Beyond GTO is out now! Learn more about exploitative poker with this new ...
Is it GTO to shove 40BBs with JTs from the Small Blind? with Gareth James
zhlédnutí 416Před 5 měsíci
In this new video Barry is joined by Gareth James from MTT Poker School to review an $11 MTT hand he played on partypoker. Barry was dealt JTs in the Small Blind facing a Cut-Off open.

When to bet small on the turn
zhlédnutí 576Před 6 měsíci
This is not one of our polished videos, this is a genuine glimpse of a coaching session between Dara and Barry. Barry came to Dara with a leak. He was betting the turn too small, trying to ‘milk’ his opponents for more value, rather than betting big. To try and fix the leak, he looked at the spots where it is actually correct to bet small on the flop AND then bet small again on the turn. Howeve...

    How to calculate COC when it is not stone bubble yet, like 3 paid, 6 left. How do we calculate coc for this scenario? also how do we combine pot odds and coc together? if our coc is 70% and we getting very good pot odds, do we still need 70% equity to call off?

    These tournaments are a goldmine atm, because people vastly overestimate the value of going for a bounty and will risk most or almost all their chips with any two cards in the hope they can suck out on another player who assuredly has a big ace or middling pair in the hopes they can luck out in that 1 in 50-100 chance of hitting the jackpot bounty.

    So, I’m reading Beyond GTO at the moment, and was wondering what you thought about me skipping the chapter entitled How to Read the F***ing Charts? 😅 Seriously, though - you can always put charts on a relatively cheap website and refer readers of your book to them so that they can see them better. Just a friendly tip from a guy that does that sort of thing (I’m in school for CS/IT). I bought your book (along with numerous others on the subject) to use in my bibliography for a term paper. 🥂

  • @baalbaki1986
    @baalbaki1986 Před 5 měsíci

    At 8:52 this is the node where the range is 2nd and 3rd pair or middle pair and the range that you display is the overall range which has top pair which isnt in the rqnge at all when they lead 20% on the flop. My guess is they call 2md and middle pair and fold 3rd pair with no backdoor and overcard

  • @DerekDDuval
    @DerekDDuval Před 5 měsíci

    The range you give villain, in my experience, is not at all accurate. Firstly, the villain that donk leads flops is not the same villain type that defends a gto range from the BB (They defend tighter). But most important these flop donks include a lot of flush draws. Or at least some flush draws, you included zero?

  • @oscarvelasco454
    @oscarvelasco454 Před 5 měsíci

    How to adjust when villain underbluff the donk bet oop river after BC-XX-DB?. The first that comes to my mind is to overfold the river against passive tight players, but what about merging the turn bet with the middle part of my range instead of polarizing since they underraise and avoiding getting on a bluffcatch river situation against this type of players? Or does the solver prefers to realize my 2 outs equity against their top pairs range?

Im trying to take my game more seriously, reading daras/barrys books, modern poker theory etc and have begun studying preflop ranges. I definitely feel im more active than the recs I play with already from what I have learned so far. It can be a bit overwhelming at times on what to study though and how to study effectively. I would appreciate it if ye could give some pointers on this before I sign up to Jaka coaching. 😂

      great video I really enjoyed it. I'd like to see a video on how to play shallow stacks 5--15bb turboish structure where under 15 is average stack. How we adjust ranges to different stacks behind and any exploits that can be gained. I feel it's the weakest part of my game where I can't gain an edge and feel most vulnerable. When we should play shove only etc or if we can exploit open/limp off shallow stacks. Then maybe a second video on the same topic ICM related

    Just wanted to thank Mr Dara for his selflessness, watching this alone helped me either cash-out or win in 3 consecutive tournaments. I usually watch Daniel Negreanu's live streams to study his gameplay and how to better apply everything I've studied but was struggling to cash-out of tournaments probably because Daniel is not focused on just cashing out as he's already on the Mount Rushmore of poker. Mr O'Kearney is very objective and adamant on always having the goal in mind instead of ruining your tournament life just because somebody shoved and you felt your ego getting bruised.

      I recently played 5$ Mystery Bounty on GGPoker, it had over 200k runners, but for simplicity lets say it was exactly 200k. For Day-2 there was (rounded down) 10k players with 10k starting stack and the Bounty GTD was 500k, which makes the average Bounty 50$ which is 10 times the buy-in, would that mean the average bounty is 100k in chips? I used this method and I also re-calculated it on the breaks and at one point the average bounty was around 110$ because the 67k$ bounty stayed quite long! I knocked out 2 players in top 800 when the 67k bounty was still up, that means I had 2 times 1-in-800 chances of winning 67k! That's pretty wild!
