I am using those tips right now and im making about $3 + playing microstakes no limit
@@manypt4275 Awesome, nice job!
I am pretty new to poker and I joined a 1/2 table a few days ago. I am a student so it is actually pretty significant stakes for me. I ended up with pocket 4s out of position and I raised pre flop and got 1 caller. Flop is 7 4 T so I keep the pressure and bet a little under pot size. He calls. Turn is a 3 and I am feeling pretty confident and raise again, about pot size again I think. I am pretty short stacked compared to the other player so he decides to put me all in. I think for a little bit and I make the call. He shows T 3o and I am feeling pretty nice. He only has two outs and wouldn’t you know it…he hits the ten. My first real bad beat in live poker and it hurts… I appreciate the final tip you made because I felt like such a loser after that hand and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It helps hearing that it is a part of the game and hands like that will happen. Just a shame that I got such a cooler in one of my first live games
before you ask yourself what you did wrong, first ask if you even did anything wrong. poker at the end of the day is stll a game of chance. you maximize your odds, but theres still a chance you lose even when you do everything perfectly. thats part of it. more often than not you'll win in that situation, so just keep at it and eventually it balances itself out.
I think you got it in good with one card to come. Bad luck that hand. Shake it off and rebuy.👍🏻
You did well. It happens. Imagine that same scenario 100 times on that turn. How many times do you think his 10 or 3 come? Not as many times as your 4s take the pot down. You did well. It's a slam dunk call every time.
i mean according to the video, you should only bet on turn if you have a good draw or top pair... otherwise just checking
online poker , chips only 200/4000 game - I had a Ah Kh I bet 15 X - & two players call me ,flop Ad Kc 2s- I bet 15x- & one player calls me ,turn is a 2h , I bet 15x & one player calls me, river is a 2c , I bet 15x and player goes all in, that is half my bank , I call , he has a 2d,5s , I sit out three hands,
This is by far the best beginners video ive seen out there. Not only assumes we have some pre-existing knowledge of the game, but also explains terms meanings in case we dont know. Each tip feels important and the more technical things arent overexplained. Great vid!
Great Video! Camera, lighting and mic set up is looking way better, general variety of graphics was refreshing and overall clear reminders of some basic things I should always be doing at the tables was excellent. 🐐
Thanks! Working hard lately to improve the quality of my poker videos, appreciate your support.
Thank you, appreciate it!
Great video. I’ve been following your content for a long time. Your information has always been great. But your presentation has improved a lot. Good luck. Keep doing this thing.
I appreciate that!
i just love your videos simple, easy to uderstand, and not too long, just to the point
Glad my videos help. Thanks for watching!

Ty for the like. Lemme know if you find anything you don't agree with here?
Thanks for this video, love this format of explanation, new subscriber here, will keep watching all other videos!
Awesome, thank you!
This knowledge was gold thank you much!
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are great!! What is the best online poker site for a low stakes beginner
Very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Second time Ive watched this. Always a good refresher
Glad this one helped you!
On the turn/river should those bets also be continuation bets for 50% of the new larger pot each time? or a static pet equal to the bet on the flop? Just looking for a rule of thumb.
Fantastic tips - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Nathan, forgot to tell you in your recent videos,but really like the new video product/Quality. 👌
Thank you, appreciate it!
Ohh thank you for explaining pot odds. Fancy setup!
No problem!
So in the instances you have the draw to keep betting, should you just be betting additional C-bets on the turn and river as well? Seems like a lot betting 50% of the pot everytime on a larger table
I have a question regarding playing with beginners. If my hand is weak (e.g. 8,3 offsuit) and everyone has only paid the minimum preflop (e.g. big blind), should I just limp in as well to see the flop?
For tip#10, always raise, do you raise pre flop with that kind of hand (ace and king) 3x? Without even seeing the 3 community cards?
Great tips thank you 👍
No problem 👍
Thanks for the clear explanations. I’m getting more comfortable with it.
Glad to help!
hey man im confused about ur winrates for 2023 on website being the same for regular cash as zoom when you state in text that zoom winrates will be less than regular?
I love your style. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
I have a question, at point 10 you said no limping into the blind because it announces weakness, but could this not be a good thing? For example maybe you limp with the intention to make yourself appear weak, this way some other guy may feel a lot more confident and he raises by a ton. Or is this just too risky?
I think he is just stating general rules. If you are playing with people whos habbits and tells you already know, for example tight players who will fold anything when you raise preflop bcs they know you only do it with great hands, its ok to mix it up a bit. Being predictable in poker is not a good thing. But again, he is stating the rules, its up to you to know when and if to break them.
he also said multiple times, do not try to be cute and do the obvious thing. Limping with the absolute nuts is trying to be cute. It can get you massively paid, but a lot of the times it will get you underpaid
Good video i winning poker and getting better everyday by watching your video, also i watch many times to remember
Glad to hear it
Great video nathan 👍

Good advise 👍
Thank you!
Im ready to get back into the poker swing. I want to some money!
Hello. Off suit A2,A3,A4… A9 not recommended? Bit new here and would like to understand why
what is the legend for the colors at 4:53?
That top tip? So key. Also why you have less margin for error elsewhere, so up your game folks!
i had a pretty bad beat, pocket aces vs QJ i went all in he called and he flopped T/9/8 for his straight tilted me but it happens also having fullhouse losing to a better fullhouse
great tips i d approciate if you add few more tips for online poker thx
More to come!
Thank you
No prob, glad this one helped!
I love fish. East to handle & reel in.
I consider myself a professional poker player. And hes right in everything he says.
Have you done any videos on tell's, or psychological tips and bluffing?
Yes, I made a video on tells just a few weeks ago.
Anyone know a good site to play on? One that doesn't need me to have an address in some random country if I use a vpn.
And one thing about this game also you have to leave the game when you’re on the down swing and to be a consistent winner you need to invest a lot of time in the game, which generally this game is good for someone who doesn’t have a substantial job and someone who retired
Now, what if you have a good hand, but you have the small blind? Should you still raise it 3X plus one?
why are the suited hands in red? I feel like I want to play those too 🤣
i started putting this into practice and literally tripled my win rate and amount won. thanks dude!
Awesome, nice work!
bro been making the same video for 6 years
Always new players who can benefit from this video seeing it for the first time. No reason for him to make a new video to say the same thing.
the last 4 videos are the same with different titles, i agree its good tips for beginners, i just find it funny he makes the same video over and over again@@johntrucano8186even the thumbnails in the videos are all recycled
In PowerPoint format too, he’s like a mentor. Poker for dummies 😅
Just like sports…the most consistent players emphasize fundamentals…not trying to be an AH but if you have a better source share it. I’m soaking up as much as i can
A lot of KZheadrs do this. It's normal. This is how you get the algorithm to work for you. As another example, the channel Think Media does the exact same thing, and they literally are a KZhead channel that teaches you how to do KZhead channels successfully. There is nothing wrong with making this video again once a year. This is because your old video may not get pushed out to people and the new one will
can someone explain to me how in the hell there's a 24% chance for a 10 to come out post flop? or does he actually mean before the flop, against 1 other player?
what do you use for online poker for small stakes?
All my suggestions are in the description.
I need more poke her tips
I generally switch tables when people start overvaluing their hand before the flop. I noticed that aggressive players have a hard time finding people to play with.
Until it's tournament time and you have to play them either way😂
89 on the J75 flop vs AA has a 24% chance of winning according to what you said inbthe video but with four six's and four ten's that's a total of eight cards times four on the flop is 32% and times two on the turn is 16%. Can you please explain the 24% math? Thanks
On the flop, a six is not an out since there is no five on the flop (It's J72 in video). There are four outs (any ten) on the flop. Four times four is 16%. The rule of four is only an approximation. The real percent chance to win with 89 is 24% because of runner runner on the turn and river of both spades or 5 and 6 or 8 and 8 or 8 and 9 or 9 and 9. All these backdoor draws add an extra 8% of equity to the rule of four 16% equity.
bro my brain is to dead for this
so jj better than ak?
The hands in red, do you just call
Always raise preflop (or re-raise).
Bro i just play and win no need for strategy in a luck game
Nathan has been my mentor in poker BUT, broadway hands have cost me MILLIONS of FAKE $…
I've lost straight with a flush. Fking hate poker 😢
When to call a bluff
I disagree with AJ
#12 He could hit 4❤5❤ and beat you on a straight flush.🤷♂️
I know I will make a video without all my deep secrets and guaranteed it to work....no joke. If you know when to quit
Nahh this is crazy 🗿 literally went to this vid after a losestreak in poker and after watching this I just reearned my total loss and then sum... That "punish limpers" thing and betting high preflop really changed my game
Awesome, glad that tip helped you!
AWESOME!! TY
No prob Brett, glad this one helped!
Very refreshing! I have so much un needed confusion with all the GTO going on right now, ty so much for keeping poker simple like it needs to be yes the math is helpful if you can finally understand it, but the simlicity of making the best decisions w the 2 cards dealt like you just taught , makes me actually want to go play today! My attitude toward poker w all the GTO was taking all fun and desire from me so ty again MR Black Rain!!! Brett@@BlackRain79Poker
Beginners aren't playing in games with 50/100 blinds. The pre-flop raise size should be about 2.5x, not 3x. Flop bet should be around about quarter pot, not half.
If your pro I am trump
Hi Trump
Hi Donald
Your advice about playing AK AQ and AJ in all situations and always re-raising a two-bet with them is seriously flawed. AJ is frequently dominated in full ring games when you call a raise or re raise a raise with this hand. In fact, when the raise comes from a tight player, folding pre flop is the right move. Also, playing hands like K10 from early position is extremely dangerous. I've played 1/2 and 2/5 for a long time. In these cash games, the typical first raises is to 15 dollars for 1/2 and 30 dollars for 2/5. I like re raising with AK here, but AJ off just isn't strong enough to re raise 50 dollars in 1/2 or 100 dollars in 2/5 unless the villain is a known wild maniac who consistently plays his pre flop weak hands strong and strong Hans weak.
Bro you talk too much!! Do you actually play any poker or just talk poker lol
Thanks that is really high praise coming from you, glad my videos are helping!
Have you LITERALLY MADE A CAREER out of this? Since you LITERALLY said it no less than 5 times? Great advice but you dont LITERALLY have to remind us.
Literally.
