Have you tried any of these boring poker strategies? Also, here are my 21 simple poker tips for beginners (Free Course): czcams.com/video/3kyGYtHcvpA/video.html
Absolutely LOVE your Videos & Teaching Stye Nathan. Question regarding not missing the value bets, and using your example of Item # 3, You value, they Raise a significant amount, do you call assuming a Bluff/Semi, or could they be trapping you? They Jam all-in...what about your value bet then? Let it go? I find myself Check/checking the river in situations like this to avoid having to face a raise.....
The "boring" strategies and all your teachings turned me from a break even player to an average 15K$ a year sideline poker player.
Big thank you, keep up the great content!
I feel like I have to watch your videos over and over again to actually get your strategies in my head lol. You make it sound super simple but when I'm in the game I start to forget
The more hands u play the more it will come without thinking. Good luck
That's good because he says the same thing in every video
Keep drilling the concepts into your head while at the table. Stay uber focused.
It's SO easy to lose your focus and forget to execute, it actually takes a lot of discipline to do it for hours at a time, hand for hand.
Most people can play decent poker for a lil bit, but most start declining after 2 hours. Why is that? Lack of discipline and not reading the room.
It's when you are card dead after 3 hours, when your big PP keep getting run down, when you are missing all your draws, etc........THAT is the true test of a good poker player.
Glad my videos remind you of the basics!
@@BlackRain79Poker They've made me a lot of money
Probably the best 16 mins of poker advice you are going to get. Excellent presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
I want to thank you. Yesterday I watched this video, plus 4 others. I then went and played my local national pub poker league tourney, that I play every Tuesday and Thursday (microstakes £5 freezeout) I usually do ok, but end up missing out, just making final table, or just missing out (36 runners last night), I usually play too many hands out of position. Yesterday I was 100% disciplined, folded more hands than ever before, was far more aggressive when I had a hand, changed how I played v the good players, and the bad players. I took the tourney down, without making a single mistake over the 4 hours. I will now watch several more of your videos.
Great job Tayla! Glad my videos are helping you.
The man is right. Wow, was that a boring video. Was there truth being told? Absolutely. Thank you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@BlackRain79PokerMy state frowns on gambling; the nearest casino is in the next state an hour away and it usually takes 1-2 hours to get on a table, so changing tables or leaving and coming back the next day is not always easy. Do you recommend any online cash sites that either don't care where you're from or don't care if you use a VPN? I've looked into WPTGlobal and GGPoker but neither seem to be available in the US.
#4 is extremely important in live poker. If you play against familiar regs alot you can learn their tendancies and play styles. You can make player dependent decisions based on if a perceived tight player raises you. It can save you a ton of money making a big correct fold.
Can you make a video on when to walk/ optimal time to play?? Too often I’ve been up 500+ and I’ll keep telling myself “I’ll leave after I win 100 more” to lose a monster pot be on tilt and leave with nothing. Maybe a video on expectation management… cheers love your content!
ALWAYS a great discussion even as a refresher ... Well Presented
Thank you, Im really enjoying your videos whilst on my journey to get good at poker
Glad you like them!
I like your teaching style and definitely will buy the book. 🙏🏽
Thanks and I hope my book helps you!

Nathan- What incredible good advice. Looking at all your videos. Waiting to cash to enroll.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good stuff man glad there a guy that doesn’t think he knows everything but clearly knows all the good fundamentals and shares them with the average players 🎉
Thanks, I try to keep it simple for beginners!
Between you and daniel ngreannu i have improved alot but when someone bets over 60% of both youre BBs should you fold even if you have a straight draw or flush draw? Because this has become a normal thing ive seen lately aswell as reraising a bet on the flop and ive gone to SD and won but they show they had nothing, are these bluffs or just crazy because sometimes i can get in my in my iwn head that they are going to do it and have the nutz, so what advuce would you give?
Your information is King 👑, thank you Nathan!!!
I appreciate it!
Great video! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I really enjoy your advice. I have been playing for years and enjoy the game so much. I might be only one or two steps ahead of a fish. But this Boring lesson tips has been the most informative in its simplicity. All the best
Glad to help!

Thanks from Australia Nathan.
No prob, glad this one helped!
Very intelligent and useful series.
Glad you like them!
love this vid, and ones like this... keep it up please :D
Glad my videos are helping you, thanks for watching!
This is good advice
Do you typically have a 3 buy-in limit for a poker session or is it variable for you? As in, do you have a daily buy-in limit that you hold yourself to or how do you determine what you plan to play with each session?
Bro thank you i needed this reminder
No problem
great vid
What do you do if you're losing all of your flopped set pots where you get your opponents to put all their money in way behind?
Thanks!
No problem!
Your rule three contradicts the earlier ones?
Thank you Sir
Thank you, glad my videos are helping you!
Q4s is garbage unless you're first to act from the BN : ), it's a good hand to even defend the BB with Vs BN or CO open I think?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Question- all of the money comes from bad tables. That means when it comes to live games, it should be only $1-$3 stakes where you can find fishes?
remember, orphan pots need love
also, i need five starting hand charts for a sixmax ring game … my range is narrow in the lojack and widens in the HJ/CO/BU/SB. likewise, i need eight starting hand charts for a ninemax game
I played poker at Laughlin on the weekend when the fish were playing and made money , but when I played on Monday against the regular players I could quickly see the difference that they were better players and would only brake even or loose.
Speaking of getting married to AA... Advice?
In the tournament, I had AA in BB (20). Second to act made it 40 several callers. I made it 185 (only 2k chips to start tournament ) original raiser calls seat 4 calls. Flop 10, 9, 4 rainbow. I'm first to act make it 350. Seat 2 makes it 700, seat 4 goes all in (it looks like S2 is getting ready to call). So I am now in for 535 (down to around 1400 in first blinds)... I assume that at least one of them has trips??? Does that not sound like a valid assumption?
S2 has other AA. Seat 4 has 10, 9 (2 pr) river is a 4 and gives S2 higher 2 pr and I would have chopped. SO I think
"what else could I have done but go all in pre-flop??" (i DID fold but OUCH)
*the earliest I ever went out of this tournament was a betting war Pre-flop I had AA and KK pushed all in. On the flop he gets the K and I get the boot - so I had hoped not to HAVE to go all in Preflop
Your 3bet was light. If you got 3 callers it wasn’t enough.
For #4 what about hands like KQ of diamonds, 98 of diamonds, QT of diamonds, etc. do those not raise here too?
You’re asking a question that has nothing to do w 4. It’s about folding, not raising.
I don't understand tip 5, what means "check/raise" ? do we check preflop and then raise after the flop or is it something else ?
It means that you check in hope someone would bet and then u bet more, raise on top of the opponents bet. If that makes sense. You can do it before flop, or on the flop etc
@@imonoke7903 thx for the explanation
No. It means when you check on the flop, turn or river and raise when they bet.
He wants you to check/raise as soon as you have something good like a set on the flop.
Obviously you can only do that when you’re out of position. Otherwise he would be telling you to 3 bet in position.
... ❤ And thank you for all the great content that your provide to us! I value your information to help me. I still new to poker but I'm willing to learn everything I can. Lol boring or not. 😅😊
You are so welcome!
amazing vid
Glad you enjoyed it!
where can i go study solvers and gto though i never have and want to practice lol
I wouldn't bother with those if you play small stakes.
Tip nr.1+is very true. When I sit down at a table and if I don’t spot a maniac, or a very loose player, after a couple rounds, I’ll leave. It makes alot of difference in your earnings and you’ll have a lot of fun too. It’s amazing to see the garbage those players play and how far they’ll go with nothing. Definitely more fun than a table full of tight players folding everything.
Number 4 . Under what circumstances would a TIGHT player be in a hand holding Q9 or J8 in a raised pot ?
Simple strategies. Most of these will go a long way to turning results into consistent profit. I think the biggest leaks in my game come from failing to fold a good hand when the villain is going for clear value, and the other is leaving when it is not working. I stay trying to get back, and I get sticky when someone is making a big bet that should be a clear indicator that one over pair is no good.
nothing boring here. just positive EV..especially game selection(includes getting table changes).
Are u talking tournaments or cash games?
Any PLO lessons?
Not an expert in that game, but might make a vid on it one day.
mark the limpers, mark the shorties, and mark the folks playing junk … and use a hi-viz colour to mark the trifectoids doing all three…after a while you’ll have no problem finding a good table, especially on fri/sat nights
extremely important: make your losing sessions short, make your winning sessions as long as possible. a lot of people do this other way around, they spiral out when losing, and they "protect" their wins by cutting profitable sessions short.
Absolute gospel here. I just lost my whole stack the other day because I couldn’t get away from my ÀÀ after the flop after being put all in. A complete amateur move by me. But it will be the last time! 😫
Exact same thing happened to me last night. Loose cannon called preflop with Q9o and flopped 2 pair. Put me all in and I couldn’t let it go. Cooler honestly imo
Crazy coincidence. This one did it with K9 and hit two pair also. Then filled up with a K on the turn. Gotta love this game!
Makes sense. Played heads up against a good player . Had K Q suited. Came Q 4 7.. he bet high I called he kept betting I kept calling . He showed A Q
I'd rather crush low and mid stakes recs than worry about GT not O
I hate folding then i would of flop a full house. I go on full tilt after that
Online tables change quickly.
At some tables, I get an ok seat, but not a great seat. So I play an orbit, then I sit out an orbit, then play an orbit, then sit out an orbit.
Then all of a sudden a huge fish shows up or a maniac puts someone on tilt, or the good player leaves, and is replaced by a total whale, and then it is time to really play.
You crushed this one today
Thank you sir!
Wait why do you say k10 won’t be reraising (3 betting) here on the button when that’s what all the cool kids are doing today? I thought we were supposed to be 3 betting our almost good enough calling hands and that’s what k10 is. I’m assuming this is for online but really after micros this is what hands are 3 bet.
Playing micro stakes, premium hands lose me most money or I win nothing as they just fold.
What to do?
Don't bloat up the pot in single raised pots with an overpair when the board is connected? Don't call down all ins with Top Pair Top kicker?
I don't know what else you can make wrong tbh. If you lose with premium hands long run just quit poker I guess
Play live. Dont play online. Online i win by bluffing n lose with real hands like AA and KK.
QUIT online poker. Been there, done that. You cannot win online poker. Regardless of poker site. It's not poker. It's slots in form of poker. Nuff said.
.
Premium hand pre flop and the premium hand at showdown are two different animals. (Unless the showdown is pre flop). Don't confuse them.
.
If you need poker training, give me a shout. Cheers, lad!
@@webguy943 that's my experience!!!
@@tOrangePeel1972 yes. I am a new player, around 1k hands.
Indeed sets are biggest winners for me. 44/55
And 7/5 os. I fold most of these trash hands, but I notice that people even 3 bet with such trash.
Anyway, j am down 750bb 1/2c. So not so bad. Though I really want to practice for live games and online is the only way I can.
I super disagree on the AA getting raised hand with that board... A nit raising into you with pocket rockets... Should have shoved on him...
Do these tips still apply when you are head to head?
The strategy will change heads up quite a bit.
I recently lost everything I had an ugly divorce and now I'm having to fall back on my poker skills to survive since finding your videos I've actually been able to eat more than once a day I was wondering if there would be any way you'd be able to work out some kind of deal with me for this poker training maybe play a game with me I got a enough gold coins on global poker to buy a private room if you wanted to give me some pointers cuz I sure need them back when I used to play I was really good so I thought but online is way different than in person in person I feel like I'm a much stronger player
i do all of thise and i really learnd by my self but still not wining lol
Did exactly #5 today. Hit a set of 3s. Opponent folded instantly to my raise! 🤷♂️
Lots depend on board texture. That’s part of the skill. And reading what your opponent has.
And, it also depends on YOUR image. If you’re a tight player/abc and I know that, then I know when you make that move it’s never a bluff. You have at worse 2 pair.
That’s why raising on flush or straight draws makes you more dangerous and unpredictable. This getting you paid.
Why I can't find you în all time money list?
At the top.
At the top of what?
These are some pretty short sighted tips...saying you should fold now when you have AA or KK on a random board just because someone raised before you is insane.
I commented last video, swear I’m not a stalker but I have to ask from the video, what did you use for your hair?
Quick prestyler, blowdry and pomade. Will make a video on this if there is enough interest!
@@BlackRain79Poker Lol, thank you!
Sigh - just reading the headline....I will watch for the advice and appreciate it but.. Not sure what you can do when you lose every hand for HOURS. Played QQ and I think wise - but chaser continued to chase to the river with AK (K on the river called big bet chasing with nothing on Flop and River) then LOST EVERY HAND for over 4 HOURS. not playing anything not premium and would not have won had I played every hand :( .. Finally hours later Flop a straight call all in and chaser gets a boat with 85 and decent size preflop raise.
I get it this can happen SOMETIMES. But how do you handle when this happens ALL THE TIME
I will admit there are times when I know I was playing too many hands when it went HOURS without a winning hand. :( But not in the example above - just this weekend. I am hearing the "accept losing days"; unfortunately these Horrible days happen WAY TOO OFTEN. This session I did FINALLY get 66% back with lucky hand at the end.
A bad beat is for example you catch a str8 on the flop, You are raising your opponent each street and he calls and catches his flush on the river.
This happens everyday 10+ times in online poker.
50% of the pot after the river is considered a value bet? That's news to me.
5:52 My guess: TILT!
I wish players played this way on mega poker 😆 all in with 3 6 off beat my pair of Ks
I watch all of your videos you aways say no to play trash hands but sometimes you are in a tournament and you can’t just quit but you don’t have any good cards no broadways what’s whatever how do you do ? Surely you must have a strategy for that
Stoping a winnin session because you're afraid of losing is also something that crushes winrate.
Sometimes you have to play Q4❤
Tilt is my worse enemy 😂
It is for many of us :/
All these tips are applicable 20 years ago........
And today too.
I’ve been doing all of this and still on a 8 session losing streak….
Then you need to evaluate what you’re doing wrong. Cause it’s obviously you.
I dont have problem winning in poker. I have a problem with gambling once I win from poker.
Be careful value betting tight players and the nuts that check raise real big.
DISCIPLINE!?!? PATIENCE?!?! MAN EFF THAT!!😂
but i love q4 of hearts lol
i wish i had watched this before i lost 30 buyins in one day after i had turned a 20euro stack into 555 the day before
I know you say,"stop playing those trash hands", but what do you do when a player on the table is always playing trashy hand and somehow wins with those hands 80%of the time?! 😮
Always losing to this guys when he comes in and sits at the table. Killing me!
AQ and AJ are insanely harder to play than Q 4 suited
lol no
I play your TAG strategy and I am losing. Please do a video on these situations. Raise the limpers, miss the flop, c bet and get called then miss the turn, c bet and get raised, fold when there is no bluff that makes sense. I fold money away every session after throwing in 3X or 5X BB pre flop with premiums. Also what about multi way pots. Need info on how to play when you miss flop or miss straight/flush draws.
do you play rush and cash?
@@mrpenabomm I’m not familiar with rush and cash. I play 1/3 live.
I play most of my hands only from position. Its great for getting the aggro players to switch their barreling tendency to a 'check/donk bet small' line instead if they're the first to have to act on every street! I can see more turn and river cards for free.
@@cardcounter21 good strategy. But gawd it’s boring waiting for the right cards sitting on the cutoff or button.
@@GaryKuebler I play 6max zoom.
Learned early on in poker to play against guys who get drunk and high. Hahaha you'll have an easy night of wins
Wait mathematically speaking, isn’t a comeback always possible? I’ve gone down 50% of my buy in before to take it back up to 200-300% just by not tilt playing and staying consistent.
Why would you be on tilt if you lost half your buy in?
What part of 3 buy ins didn’t you understand?
At the lowest live cash level that’s 900 bucks.
You clearly aren’t keeping stats on your play.
@@jamespohl-md2eq blah blah blah. The key is to not let a short bad run put you on tilt. If losing one or two buy in tilts you, don’t play poker. Your bankroll should be high enough that it doesn’t matter or if you’re playing poker to win money that you need that badly, you shouldn’t be playing poker.
@@jwisor93That’s a sweet deflection.
Comeback was the issue. And you failed. Like I said, it’s obvious you don’t keep track of stats. That you can’t address this or understand the the point tells me all I need to know about your level of play.
@@jamespohl-md2eq ok
I dont enjoy playing poker often because of losers who try bluff $2 out of your pocket and have no integrity
When you say stop playing trash hands you mean fold preo flop?
I believe this is what he means here.
That’s what he means, never limp in so any hand you play you should be willing to raise or call most raises
Yup
Learn to quit maybe should've been # 1 because... I feel like a lot of people are just gambling these days (forgetting the skill)
Glad you mentioned it though... there's a lot of new gamblers who push too far. Man. Turn it all off! Strongly agree.
it's like you're talking to me
Yo lemme get an invite to the game where people are calling rivers with 4th pair.
Y don’t u ever say 56s u always stop before that and got charts show that’s better than 78 89 910s
It was too boring, I lost you at not playing Q4s, c'mon that's the nuts
im here again...because im losing..haha
so basically be a nit
Nits don't lose a lot. Good starting point for some people to stop the bleeding.
@@BlackRain79Poker wont they constantly chip down from blinds, and then when they play preflop with AK, KQ, etc, and don't hit a pair, they just fold. Plus if they get something good, they prob wont get paid, because everyone at the table knows they re a nit
#1 Piece of Advise I can give: BE PATIENT
Well said!
