      92 versus the whole open range of opponent is pretty ahead, so you want to get in there...

    • @Klara906090
      @Klara906090 Před 7 lety +57

      I would fold 92 everyday preflop, but if you call, you have to get it in if you hit 9-7-2 or it doesnt make any sense to call.

    • @Klara906090
      @Klara906090 Před 7 lety +1

      you don't need to bluff with this part of this calling range, it's either get it in or fold ( which will be very often , that's why I would fold pre ).

    Hello Daniel. First of all, credits for the awesome videos lately.
    Was thinking if maybe you could explain more about all the terms of poker, such as pot odds, implied odds, or whatever they're called, and how to use them properly, maybe in a later video. All of this is obviously obtainable information on google, but I'd love to hear your explaination on it :)

    Hey Daniel great video man! I was just wondering who you think are the "best" poker players. Cash game players? Tournament Players? And to get a little more specific do you think HU players are better than the average Cash game or Tournament player? I know they are all better at each game depending what they play, but which group would you categorize as the all around best? I doubt you'll see this, but if you do thanks in advance.

  • @chuckmottmusic1915
    @chuckmottmusic1915 Před 2 lety +1

    Thank you so much. I think I always misunderstood this (ok really I've only been studying poker seriously like the last couple months) but I was always under the impression you play a very small range in the blinds and took that to mean you rarely bet and usually fold, and only play with a small range of hands. Looks like the opposite is true and you are just really careful moving forward. So your first move is to usually check or bet because of the odds?

    • @CosmicAeon
      @CosmicAeon Před rokem

      you usually check to the pre-flop raiser since they started the aggression by raising in the first place. Then you react to what they do based on your hand.

    @IPushHard Před 4 lety

    I probably could get it in with 9 2 (nines up), but it depends on a lot of factors.
    What Ive learned is that I take far more bad beats, suk outs, etc... when I shove on the flop. The more information I have when I shove allows me to minimize the bad effects that poor luck can have... or whether to shove at all. I really think that shoving on the turn or river is a far better plan than shoving 2 pair on the flop...if you have a choice.

Back to back Big Blind and Small Blind hands flopped Full Houses. BB was 9/2 Suited spades against AA....flopped 9/2/2 and SB 4/5 Suited Spades against KK...flopped 5/5/4. Nice raises...four callers each...and called ALL-IN...about $500 in profit. DEFINITELY would have folded before! Thank you Sir!

  • @datboi_gee
    @datboi_gee Před 5 lety +5

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm really just trying to expand my processing of advanced betting mechanics. But regarding that hypothetical 92 off & 982 rainbow flop, I believe it's solid to raise. Most will assume you're still strong at this point but not two-paired, sending out a C-bet. This would not only work in your favor on a perception level but it adds value to your hand. If you bet quarter pot or half pot you're applying pressure to opponents floating high cards and forcing mid pairs to commit or fold. Based on opponent response to this bet, you get decent info regarding who's likely holding what combos. Assuming most folded pre flop and you're playing 3-handed or less, you could assume you're up against premium pairs or high cards floating to the river if they call. If they come over the top they might be too strong to continue or bluffing, depends on how tight of a player they are. From this point forward, assuming nobody reraises, I'd say to play for pot control and not be afraid to take your hand to showdown so long as you don't over-commit financially and nobody has given you reason to believe they're sitting on a monster hand come the turn or river.
    More often than not, your two pair will be the best made hand at the table. So long as you stay vigilant and account for all variables important at the time, I'd say you shouldn't fold the two pair immediately post flop. And honestly I don't think Daniel would either, but I also don't think he's trying to advise people to play exactly like he does because of his excellent reading ability.
    What do you guys think?

    • @jr-yq4ki
      @jr-yq4ki Před 3 lety

      I think it kind of depends on a lot of things, how many people are in the hand, what position you are in. But in general, yes, I don't believe there's a problem with betting your two pair on the flop. I do this all the time. Sometimes it forces everyone out and I win the pot, or I'll get someone to smooth call with their high pocket pair. If a player re-raises on top of my bet, and does so fairly aggressively, it's time to assess if it's possible that they either raised or just called with pocket 2s, 8s, or 9s, or if they have 98. If he checks to me, on the turn, the slow play is over and I'm betting enough to substantially hurt him if he calls and is wrong about me. If I'm already hurting on chips, I'd probably just push at this point and live with the results. If he stays really aggressive on the turn, and is first to act, I'm somewhat inclined to fold, depending on what I know of the player already. Also kind of depends if I'm playing online or in real life. Lol.

    @Daniel Negreanu : Great vid as usual 👍. But (yes, there is a "but"), you only talk about the big blind and the title of the video is Defending your Blinds, plural. What about the small blind ? You get half of the odds you get in the big blind, so it is not as much as correct to call, especially when you do not know what the big blind is going to do. What are your thoughts on this, please ? 🤔

    Hey Daniel, I was just wondering how to beat players online. I'm not playing on a really professional app (don't worry, its all legal), and the players aren't really that great. They will call with almost any hand, including 2 and 7 off suit. So I call with a decent hand like King Jack or Ace King, and they get lucky and flop 2 pair. Any tips? Thanks

  • @Aresmusic.official
    @Aresmusic.official Před 4 lety

    But in comparison with some of the tips I've heard, calling isn't an option when you're big blind, I thought blinds/late position must be aggressive, means they must either raise or fold, "calling isn't an option" specially with unconnected off-suited hands. Don't know... kinda confused. I'm a beginner tho :) please guide. Thanks.

    I was reading a book that had such a different view on defending blinds. It said that people become too attached to blinds that they didn't even put in the pot voluntarily and that they should let the go more easily than people tend to to. I think that, although math IS on your side (5:1 e.g.), it's not 5:1 anymore if you look at the situation that you already did put 1 bb, so it becomes 3:1 again. My English is so bad in trying to explain this haha.

    • @TKGriffiths
      @TKGriffiths Před 5 lety

      I think Dan was talking about the context of a tournament pot with antes as well as smaller, almost min raises which have become popular in tournaments.
      If you're playing micro stakes most people still go 3x or 3.5x and you need to fold a lot more.

    Daniel, you say people should call with everything basically because of the pot odds but its better to fold against really good opponents, isnt it just better to call PF if you getting really good odds against pro opponents and play more conservative after the flopp?
