When you think about a nit at the poker table, who comes to mind? I doubt any of you thought of former WSOP Main Event final runner-up David Williams! During GGPoker’s Game of Gold in South Korea, Williams finds himself holding two pair and faces a bet on the river from one of poker’s most formidable overlords – Jason Koon. But will Williams manage to make the right decision and call?

As the preflop raiser, you should be careful with continuation betting on medium connected boards when playing against the big blind. Their range will hit that board more frequently which means you will face a higher amount of aggression through check-raises. This puts your holdings that have over cards in a tricky situation and will often mean you need to fold a decent amount of equity.

Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’ is a 38 year old professional poker player from America. He has over $56,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 5 on the all-time money list. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the 2021 $25,000 Heads-Up Championship event. He was also a GGPoker Ambassador for almost 3 years up until 2024.

David Williams is a professional poker player from America. He has over $9,300,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 140 on the all-time money list. His largest cash of $3,500,000 came from the 2004 WSOP Main Event where he narrowly lost out on his first bracelet as he lost heads-up to Greg Raymer ‘Fossilman’. Two years later he captured his first WSOP bracelet after winning the 2006 $1,500 7 Card Stud event for $163,118.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

In Round 1, a four-tier Sit & Go poker format, each team (spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs) put a poker player into a separate round of four-handed poker action, with Game of Gold coins on offer for finishing first, second, third, or fourth. The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: David Williams raises to 160,000 from the button with KJo. After the small blind folds, Jason Koon defends from the big blind with a dominated JTo, and they head to the flop.

Flop – 8s 7c 3h: Koon flops two overcards and a gutshot straight draw. He checks from out of position and Williams fires a continuation bet of 150,000 with his two broadway cards and backdoor straight draw. Koon calls as they both head to the turn.

Turn – Js: The J of spades on the turn is disastrous for Koon as he has hit top pair but is out-kicked by Williams. He checks and Williams decides to exercise some pot control by checking back.

River – Kh: The king of hearts on the river is an overcard to Koon’s pair of jacks. However, this doesn’t scare him as he takes the betting lead and fires out a bet of 480,000. Williams has improved to a disguised backdoor top two pair. But what will the WSOP Main Event runner-up do? Fold? Surely not! Be a nit and just call, or put in the raise? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

Being at the final table of a $25,000 buy-in PokerGO tournament in Las Vegas is likely a dream situation for every poker player. PokerCoaching coach and founder Jonathan Little found himself in that exact situation with $450,000 awaiting the eventual winner! Knowing when to pressure your opponent is crucial to pick up chips throughout the final table and here Jonathan Little demonstrates exactly how to do just that! .

When you are the biggest stack at a final table, you often want to use frequent aggression with smaller bet sizes. This allows you to build the pot to put your opponent all-in by the river. It also forces a competent opponent to overfold, because they will know that they are likely going to be facing bets on multiple streets.

Jonathan Little ‘FieryJustice’, ’Jcardshark’, ‘JonLittle’ is in the top 150 on the all time money list with over $8,800,000 in total live earnings. He has 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, both of which were for over $1,000,000. He won the WPT Season VI (2007-2008) Player of the Year award. Jonathan is a 38 year old professional poker player from the U.S.A. He is also the founder of PokerCoaching.com.

Justin Zaki is a professional poker player from the U.S.A. with over $5,300,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 330 on the all time money list.

The 2024 PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$25,000 – 2024 PokerGo Cup Event #8 – Results

1st: Jonathan Little U.S.A – $453,750 2nd: Justin Zaki – U.S.A – $288,750 3rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2’ ‘JustGTO’ – U.S.A – $192,500 4th: John Riordan – U.S.A – $137,500 5th: Seth Davies – U.S.A – $110,000

Preflop: In a blind-on-blind encounter, Justin Zaki limps in from the small blind with A7o. Chip leader Jonathan Little checks from the big blind with 84o and they both head to the flop.

Flop – 5h 3s 3c: Zaki’s ace-high is still best on the five-high flop. He checks with two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Little fires out a bet of 60,000 with eight-high and a backdoor straight draw. Zaki calls and they continue to the turn.

Turn – 9d: The 9 of diamonds on the turn completes the badugi board. Zaki checks again with the best hand. Little doesn’t pick up any backdoor draws but decides to check it back.

River – Qc: The Q of clubs doesn’t improve either player’s hand. Zaki checks, surely hoping that he can get to showdown cheaply. Jonathan knows his eight-high will be second best if he checks behind, so he decides to bluff and fires out a bet of 150,000 for half-pot. Zaki is an experienced poker player and knows that Little, as the chip leader, can apply a lot of Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on him at this final table. But can he find the correct call with just ace-high? Stay around to the end of this poker video to find out!

The post WPH #527: How To BULLY As The CHIP LEADER!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Big Slick, Anna Kournikova, or just plain old ace-king can be one of the hardest hands to play when deep-stacked and out of position. Brown Balla found himself in this exact spot after he had just called a 5-bet out of position during a high stakes cash game at The Lodge Card Club. But the high stakes regular had some tricks up his sleeve after bricking the flop and turn. Can he find a way to win with just ace high?

When you are playing extremely deep-stacked poker, your 5-betting range should primarily consist of pocket aces and low-suited aces. In order to balance your range you want to make sure that you have some bluffs that block your opponent from having the nuts as well as having the nuts yourself!

Brown Balla whose real name is Eshaan Bhalla, has played only a handful of times on The Lodge Poker live stream. He is often seen on the Hustler Casino Live stream and is willing to play any stakes. He has over $550,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of $171,874 coming at the 2023 World Series Of Poker (WSOP), where he came 4th in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max event.

Alex Jauregui who has previously appeared as “”Alp””, is a high stakes poker player from America who frequently participates on The Lodge Poker live stream at any stakes. He has over $690,000 in live tournament earnings. Alex is up over $670,000 from live streamed cash games in over 20 sessions.

In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.

The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.

Preflop: Brown Balla raises to $500 with AK of spades from under-the-gun. Alex 3-bets to $1,500 from the lojack with A4 of diamonds. Nik Airball calls from the hijack with 76 of clubs, and Tricktime calls from the cutoff with 87 of spades. After the button and blinds fold, Brown Balla decides to 4-bet to $8,500 with his big slick. Alex then puts in the rare 5-bet to $21,500 with a game theory optimal (GTO) approved hand. Nik Airball and Tricktime fold their suited connectors before Brown Balla calls, and they head to the flop.

Flop – Ts 9c 7d: The ten-high board misses both players’ suited aces. Brown Balla remains ahead with a backdoor straight draw and backdoor nut flush draw. He checks to the preflop aggressor, Alex, who puts out a continuation bet of $20,000 with just a backdoor flush draw. Brown Balla seems to think his ace-king, a.k.a Anna Kournikova, might still be good as he makes the call, and they head to the turn.

Turn – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the turn completes the badugi board and puts a four-liner to a straight out. Meaning, any player holding a seven or jack would make a straight. Brown Balla seems to think he has more straights in his range as he leads out for a tiny bet of $18,000. Alex doesn’t believe him though as he puts in a min-raise to $36,000 with a worse ace-high. How will Brown Balla respond to this, will he fold with no pair or draw, will he call to see a river, or will he go do something only an insane poker player would do and decide to raise? Stick around to the end of this poker video to find out!

The post WPH #521: When Poker Players Go CRAZY!!!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This live poker stream from the Hustler Casino in Los Angeles had an incredible lineup that featured; MrBeast, Ninja, Alexandra Botez, Ludwig, xQc, Slime, Tom Dwan, Phil Hellmuth & poker fan favorite Alan Keating! As to be expected, the pots were huge and the play was wild!

In this particular hand MrBeast attempts to take on Alan Keating and finds himself rivering quad queens! Can he find a way to extract value against Alan Keating’s relatively weak holding?

Jonathan discusses how Alan has a perfect hand to potentially use as a check-raise bluff on the flop as he has many backdoor draws. There would be lots of turn cards that Alan could use to continue telling his story if he were to check-raise on the flop.

Jimmy Donaldson known as MrBeast is a 24 year old American YouTuber and philanthropist. He is credited with pioneering a genre of YouTube videos that centers on expensive stunts and huge giveaways. His YouTube channel has over 146 million subscribers.

Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game player often playing in the biggest poker cash games around the world, he has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream and recently played the biggest pot ever on the show of almost $1,200,000!

In this poker cash game hand from the Hustler Casino Live stream we have Slime who is under the gun with Kd2s, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson with pocket queens in under the gun+1, Tom Dwan in the hijack with 94cc & Alan Keating in the big blind with 86cc. The blinds were set at $100/$200 with a $200 big blind ante, and there was a triple straddle in play for $1,600 by YouTube influencer Ludwig. Dawn starts with open limping which causes Alan and Slime to complete before MrBeast decides to bump it up to $5,000 to which all of the players call. The flop comes Qc 7d 6h, and MrBeast fires a bet of $5,000 with his top set. Tom decides to fold, Alan calls, and Slime folds, leaving just Alan Keating and MrBeast in the poker hand as the pot grows to $31,900. The turn is the 4s, and MrBeast continues to put the pressure on with a bet of $10,000, which Alan decides to call. The pot now stands at $51,900 as we head to the river, which reveals Qd. MrBeast has now hit quads! Alan checks again, and MrBeast makes a much larger bet of $40,000. After much deliberation Alan decides to make the call with his bluff catcher only to see the bad news as the $130,900 pot is pushed in MrBeast’s direction to help fund his next YouTube viral video!

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.

Jaman ‘The Drawing Dead’ Burton is one of my favorite poker vloggers and in this hand from the Bellagio Poker room in Las Vegas he decides to get completely out of line as he decides to try to bluff his opponent with just 5-high! Both Jonathan and Jaman give their advice on how they manage to pull off successful bluffs and they both have very different techniques, which is your favorite?

On flops that do not have very obvious draws you have to try and find draws that still have good equity. A gutshot and a backdoor flush draw is a perfect candidate to use as part of your bluffing range which is exactly what Jaman does in this hand on the flop after the pot is limped preflop and there has been no aggressive action so far.

It is important that during a poker hand you are trying to narrow your opponent’s range of hands. Jaman received some information preflop as the small blind nor the straddle decided to raise which means they are less likely to have an ace in their range.

When you are bluffing and you pick up equity on the turn you should generally continue to barrel, especially if the turn card could potentially help your range more than your opponent’s.

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.

#magnuscarlsen #highstakespoker #pokerstrategy

This live poker stream from the Hustler Casino Live was great fun to watch. For the first time in history, Magnus Carlsen, the number 1 ranked chess player in the world made his poker stream debut and played some incredible hands! In this particular hand he faced off against Alexandra Botez, another grandmaster in Chess. Mariano, the popular poker vlogger, was also in there battling and somehow managed to maintain an 87% VPIP throughout this 6-hour live poker stream, which is an insane poker stat, to say the least.

Jonathan discusses how you can and should adjust preflop raise sizes according to the game that you are playing in as well as the effective stack depth. If you have deeper stacks you can generally raise using a larger size.

He also agrees with Magnus’ strategy to triple barrel bluff when he turns a pair. You generally want to have a hand that can block your opponent’s from having an extremely strong poker hand.

Magnus Carlsen is currently the highest-ranked chess player in the world and arguably the greatest of all time. He is from Norway and is 32 years old, he has been a grandmaster since he was 14. He is the reigning five-time World Chess Champion, four-time World Rapid Chess Champion, and six-time World Blitz Chess Champion. Carlsen has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011. He also has a YouTube channel which has 957,000 subscribers.

Alexandra Botez is 27 year old grandmaster from Texas, she became a five-time Canadian National Girls Champion and won the U.S. Girls Nationals at age 15. She has appeared on the Hustler Casino Live stream before with MrBeast, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan and Alan Keating where she won over $500,000. She has 1,127,000 YouTube subscribers.

Mariano is a professional poker player and poker vlogger from America. He is a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream hosting his own $25/$50 game. He has a popular poker YouTube channel with 129,000 subscribers.

It is important to note that the table was playing the seven-deuce(72o) game. If a player wins a poker hand with 72o then everyone else at the poker table would owe them $100.

This poker hand starts with Magnus Carlsen raising to $125 with 7c2d from under the gun. He picks up calls from Alexandra Botez, Bryce Hall, Nate Hill & popular poker vlogger Mariano. The flop comes the As Th 5d and Magnus continues his story with an almost pot sized bet of $500. This does not deter Botez, Bryce & Mariano as all 3 players call with a piece of that board. The turn is 7h and Magnus does not slow down and fire’s another chunky bet, this time for $1,700. Botez who has now hit two pair decides to call and Mariano makes an ambitious call with his bottom pair. The river is 7s. Magnus who now believes he has the best hand decides to bet $4,100 and Botez raises all-in to $5,270. Magnus is shocked to see Botez reveal her full house which gives her the entire $15,925 pot.

The post WPH #455: Magnus Carlsen BLUNDERS vs Alexandra Botez’s TRAP! [$16,000 Poker Error] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

This high stakes poker heads up match between Matt Berkey and Nik Airball has taken the poker world by storm. There are not many feuds in the poker community that end up in a heads up match but these two have decided to put their money where their mouth is and are battling it out at The Resorts World Poker Room in Las Vegas.

After three days of play the heads up match is extremely close with Solve4Why’s Matt Berkey winning just over $30,000. The two are due to play for 100 hours in total and are now about 20% of the way through the match.

The terms for the heads up match are as follows:

– $200/$400 (400) at Resorts World in Las Vegas – $100,000 min, no max – 3 sessions each week with 6.5hrs per session – The match will last 100 hours – Either player can quit if they end up down more than $1,000,000 – $10,000 penalty for a missed session or quitting early

This poker hand was played at The Resorts World private poker room in Las Vegas. They are playing over $270,000 deep at $200/$400. Matt Berkey raises on the button to $1,000 with 66 and Nik Airball decides to 3bet to $5,000 with QJhh and Matt Berkey defends. The flop comes K63xcc and Airball continues his aggression with a 33% bet on the flop to which Berkey calls. The turn is the Ad and Airball decides to size up using a pot sized bet on the turn. This does not deter Berkey who decides to continue by calling. The river is a beautiful card for Airball as it comes the Ts which gives him the stone cold nuts. Airball decides to use an extremely polarizing bet size as he shoves for 5x pot! Berkey cannot find the fold and calls off his stack with his set and loses the $550,000 pot!

The action begins with Pollak setting the trap by just calling rather than raising. Cigliuti then decides to raise to $110 with pocket tens. When Eubank JR. looks down at pocket kings he decides to 3-bet to $420. Pollak then comes over the top with a 4-bet to $2,000, and Cigliuti folds. Whilst Eubank JR. is deciding on his next action Pollak decides to turn over both of his cards, revealing pocket aces. After a 40-second pause, Eubank JR. reveals his kings and decides to fold.

The players decide to rabbit hunt twice to see who would have won the hand had they managed to get all of the chips into the middle. On the first board, we see the 5d Th 2h Qs 2c, which is a blank for both players but Cigliuti would have won with pocket tens. On the second board, however, we see the 8s Kh 3c 3d 4c and Eubank JR. would have flopped a set of kings!

No Gamble, No Future began as a video podcast in January 2021 with Brent Hanks and Jeff Platt as the hosts. The show aired on Tuesdays across PokerGO’s YouTube and Facebook channels and they discussed poker, sports, and gambling. While the podcast was on break, No Gamble, No Future remained a popular PokerGO brand before it evolved into a cash game show to be aired on video streaming service PokerGO. The show features many prop bets such as winning with bluffs or cracking strong hands to encourage higher VPIPs and more action.

#pokerstrategy #hustlercasino #rampagepoker

Rampage Poker has recently been on a downswing but that all changed in this poker stream at the Hustler Casino Live as Rampage booked his biggest ever cash game win to date – over $500,000 in a single session!

Most of his profit came from the Hustler Casino Live regular Nik Airball. These two poker players battled in large pots all night with Rampage getting the best of Nik for most of them. Nik lost over $700,000 in that particular game. In this particular poker hand Nik cannot believe what Rampage Poker does and in less than 3 seconds too! It put him on complete mega tilt after this $312,900 pot and Nik Airball went on to lose over $750,000 at the poker table on the live stream.

In this poker hand I look at a crazy hero call that Rampage made against Nik. Rampage also known as Ethan Yau would have known that Nik was tilted at this point in the game which would have been a factor he considered when deciding to make a $110,000 call on the river.

Making mistakes in poker tournaments can cost you your entire stack. The days are long and you must stay focused to play your best poker game!

In this live poker webinar I am going to teach you the 3 biggest mistakes that I often see poker players make and what you can do to avoid these in poker tournaments.

It is always important that you are aware of the effective stack depth in any given hand so that you can adjust your poker strategy accordingly. You can make big mistakes if you think your opponent is playing the same stack as you but then you find out that they are extremely short stacked and they have just check-raised all in on the flop! You might have decided to check this flop had you known that they did not have many chips.

Being well rested and aware that tournaments can be long is vitally important to making strong decisions throughout the day. One lapse in your judgment could cause a huge blunder and you could lose your entire stack and poker tournament life.

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? #pokerstrategy #pokertournaments #pokermistakes 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.

The post 3 MISTAKES To AVOID In Poker Tournaments! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 3-20-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

#wsop #pokerstrategy #rampagepoker

Jonathan is joined by popular poker vlogger – Rampage Poker! They discuss and analyze a poker hand that Rampage played during a $2,000 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) event.

While not a hyper turbo, this event is fast and packed with action. This poker hand starts with Rampage opening from the hijack with KJo and he picks up two callers; the cut off and small blind. The effective stack depth is important in this hand as it is only about 30bb which generally means that a players stack off threshold should be lower as there is less playability than if the effective stack was 100bb.

The flop K32xss gives Rampage top pair and a backdoor flush draw. Jonathan discusses the merits of potentially using this hand to check/raise. He explains how he thinks that a lot of poker players overfold in multiway pots which causes him to bet at a higher frequency than Game Theory Optimal (GTO) might suggest.

However, in general you should be checking a lot in multiway pots with your marginal made hands as it is difficult to correctly identify all of your opponent’s ranges. For this reason you should also be mixing in some value hands to check-raise with. Jonathan also discusses which specific poker hands might want to check-raise as a semi-bluff.

Remember that when opponents call a small check raise their range will be wider than if they call a bigger check raise. Use this extra information to help you narrow their range and proceed accordingly. As the effective stack becomes shallower, your bet and raise sizes should be smaller so that you can work in more bluffs that can fold to a raise or 3-bet.

Jonathan explains that hands you should find to hero call are ones that beat all of the draws and when those draws do not come in on the turn. It is important to have a poker hand that does not block the draws that your opponent could have.

The post WPH #451: How To Play MULTIWAY Perfectly With RAMPAGE Poker! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Tony G, one of the initial CoinPoker founders, has never been scared to tussle with the best poker players in the world whether it be in tournaments or cash games. Whilst playing in a Triton Poker cash game, the usually loud-mouthed amateur was silenced after poker professional Mikita Badziakouski raised to a whopping €400,000 as a bluff. An over-the-top celebration could possibly follow if Tony G is able to find this miraculous hero call!

When playing multi-way pots, you should generally play tighter post-flop. In multi-way situations after there is a bet and a call on the flop or the turn, someone is likely to have a strong hand. This forces you to proceed only with the top of your range or very high equity draws. Hands such as second pair or very weak top pairs have to be folded more frequently.

Antanas Guoga or, more commonly known as Tony G is a Lithuanian-Australian businessman and also a part-time professional poker player. Tony G has played on many live poker streams throughout the years such as: Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, The Big Game, and many more. He is known for his theatrics at the table and over the top celebrations. His most famous quote is “On Your Bike” when he stacks an opponent.

Mikita Badziakouski or ‘fish2013’ as he is known online, is a professional poker player from Belarus. He has over $50,800,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 7 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $7,114,500 came at the 2023 World Poker Tour – WPT World Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas, in the $1,000,000 buy-in Big One for One Drop event.

Isaac Haxton or ‘philivey2694′ as he is known online, is a professional poker player from America. He has over $47,000,000 in live tournament earnings, putting him in the top 8 on the all-time money list. His biggest cash of $3,672,000 came at the $300,000 buy-in 2018 Super High Roller Bowl in Las Vegas. He also won this event 5 years later in 2023 for over $2,760,000. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet that came in 2023, from the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller 8-Max event.

Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more.

Preflop: In the final hand of this high-stakes cash game, Tony G raises from the small blind to €22,000 with K9o. Isaac Haxton calls out of the big blind with JTo. Mikita Badziakouski calls from the under-the-gun straddle with Q7o, and they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Kh Js 7c: Tony G flops top pair and fires out a continuation bet of €20,000. Haxton calls with his second pair, and Badziakouski calls with his bottom pair.

Turn – 2d: The 2 of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve anyone, meaning Tony G still has the best hand with his pair of kings. He fires a second barrel of €70,000 into the two high-stakes tournament poker professionals. Haxton correctly folds his pair of jacks, but Badziakouski sticks around with his pair of sevens, and they head to the river.

River – 8d: The 8 of diamonds river completes a possible straight draw, but this doesn’t deter Tony G, who puts out a bet of €120,000. Badziakouski, holding fourth pair, decides to represent that straight by raising to a staggering €400,000. Tony G hasn’t said a word during this hand, but if he finds this hero-call with just top pair, surely we will hear an ecstatic celebration from the amateur poker player. Will he make the call holding a blocker to the nuts, or will the online poker wizard fish2013 get the bluff through? Stay tuned to find out.

Two of the poker regulars from the Max Pain Monday show find themselves in a set over set situation for a rather sizable $16,000 pot!

When you are in position, closing the action and getting good odds to set mine with a deep effective stack you should be calling to try and hit!

The 765cxc flop is a miserable one for overpairs as it is extremely co-ordinated and it favors the caller’s range more than the 3-bettors. Jonathan discusses the raise size that Poker Bunny decides to use on the flop. He talks about why on such co-ordinated boards it is better to use a larger raise size to reduce the stack to pot ratio which gives you more chance of getting all of the money in by the river.

Jonathan discusses the factors you should consider when deciding to go for thin value on the river. What hands can your opponent have that you beat that will still call?

This poker hand took place during the Max Pain Monday show on the Hustler Casino Live Stream in California! In this $10/$20/$40 cash game, DJ Washburn raises to $120 from the hijack with Qd9s. Poker Bunny calls from the cutoff with 5h5d. Sia The Bot wakes up with pocket kings in the small blind and decides to 3-bet to $700. This makes DJ Washburn folds but Poker Bunny decides to go set hunting and calls, which bloats the pot to $1,600 as they head to the flop.

The flop comes 7c 6h 5c which gives Poker Bunny bottom set on an extremely co-ordinated board. Sia The Bot continuation bets for $400. Poker Bunny decides not to slow play and raises to $1,000 which Sia The Bot calls, bringing the pot to $3,600.

The turn is the Kc which now gives Sia The Bot top set. She now decides to slow down and opts for a check. Poker Bunny still believes she has the best hand decides to bet $1,300 and Sia The Bot calls, bringing the total pot to $6,200.

The river is 2h, and Sia The Bot checks again. Poker Bunny decides to move all-in for $4,950. Sia The Bot gives it some thought. Although she has an extremely strong hand, it is not the nuts which makes her think that Poker Bunny could have her beat. In the end, Sia The Bot does make the call and Poker Bunny reveals her poker hand as if she has the winner and is shocked to see the chips be pushed in Sia The Bot’s direction!

This poker hand showcases the importance of careful hand reading, aggressive play, and strong decision-making in cash games. Don’t forget to practice these skills in your own games, and good luck at the poker tables!

PokerCoaching coach Aram Zobian manages to successfully pull off the very rare double check raise whilst he is heads up for a PokerGo Cup title!

Jonathan discusses the importance of having a balanced check-raising range. You should be finding good semi-bluffs to use as check-raises and not only your strong value hands.

Punsri’s hand becomes a pure bluff catcher after Zobian decides to fire in the double check raise on the turn. Punsri really has to decide whether he thinks Zobian is going to get out of line in this particular spot before deciding to continue. This was the 3rd PokerGo Cup series. It took place from January 11th – 20th 2023, in the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. There were 8 events on the schedule, all were No-Limit Hold’em. Buy-ins ranged from $10,000 to $50,000.

Aram Zobian is an American professional poker player with just over $3,200,000 in live earnings. The bulk of that came in the 2018 WSOP Main Event when he finished 6th for $1,800,000 (John Cynn was the champion that year).

The post WPH #449: One Of The RAREST Moves In POKER! [$207,500 For 1st!] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

PokerGO’s recent Cash Of The Titans was filled with crazy action and huge pots. It was no surprise that they broke the record for the biggest pot in American TV poker history when Eric Persson clashed horns with long time poker professional Patrik Antonius!

This version of No Gamble, No Future was called “Cash Of The Titans”. Blinds started at $500/$500 and increased every three hours. Players also posted $100,000 on the side, and the biggest winner at the end of Day 3 of play was awarded a $600,000 bonus.

This poker hand happens during the third and final day of the show so the players have been playing with each other consistently for about 14 hours and have built up a lot of history together especially from playing the stand up game where every player stands and you can only sit down when you win a poker hand (you must show the table your winning hand).

This poker hand starts with Persson in the hijack who raises to $7,000. Rob Yong calls on the button before Patrik Antonius decides to 3-bet to $30,000. Both Eric and Rob call. The flop gives Eric and Antonius a flush draw which is where the fireworks happen. Antonius continues his story with a slightly under half pot bet. Persson decides to take the aggressive line and raises to $140,000. This forces Yong to fold and Antonius decides to click it back to $250,000 and Persson calls. On the turn Antonius decides to bet about 25% pot. Persson’s response is to rip his entire stack in the middle for $692,000! Antonius doesn’t take too much time before calling and leaves Persson drawing dead in the biggest ever pot in American TV history!

The post WPH #448: $1,978,000 – The BIGGEST Pot In American TV Poker HISTORY! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Garrett Adelstein is a regular in the high stakes cash games on Hustler Casino Live. Today his opponent is a newcomer to the show who is just named as Tim and he has a mystery poker hand!

Jonathan talks about what range of hands like to re-raise preflop when playing deep stacked out of position; decent suited connectors fall in this category which is exactly the hand that Garrett ‘Gman’ Adelstein has in this poker hand.

If you are only using the strongest hands to re-raise with preflop then you do not have a decent board coverage when the flop contains low cards. As you get deeper stacked you will want to be using a wider range of hands to 3-bet with.

As a poker player you have likely run into a fair few bad beats in your time at the poker tables. But has it ever happened in two run outs in the same hand?

The post 3 COMMON Preflop LEAKS & How To FIX Them! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-13-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself in a dream spot in the Bellagio poker room whilst playing $5/$10 as he flops a flush against a splashy recreational poker player. Can he find a way to get max value?

Jonathan discusses what you should think about when deciding to isolate pre-flop against players that like to limp. He also discusses that a Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach prefers to use a small bet size on monotone flops (flops that are all one suit). When players use a larger bet size you should be much tighter in the range that you decide to call and continue with.

Jonathan talks about a mistake that a lot of poker players make which is attempting to put their opponent’s on a very specific hand rather than a range of hands. Don’t be this type of poker player!

The hand starts with a limp from the under the gun recreational player. Brad Owen decides to raise on the button to isolate his opponent with a speculative 85hh. The big blind cold calls and under the gun decides to call as well. The flop is one that we dream of as it comes KQT all hearts giving Brad a flopped flush. Brad continues using a large bet size and the recreational player calls. The turn is a brick 2d and Brad continues using a large size which the recreational poker player calls. The river is a clean 7s and Brad shoves all in for a pot sized bet. Will he get maximum value from the recreational?

PokerStars came back in full force with the first trip of 2023 in the beautiful Baha Mar resort in Nassau, The Bahamas. I had a wonderful time playing some poker and a couple of final tables meant it was a profitable trip!

In this live poker webinar I’ll take you through some of the biggest hands that helped me run deep in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Main Event as well as the slightly smaller BSOP Main Event.

It was truly a magical experience to compete in the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC). Although we unfortunately bust on Day 2 it was incredible to see so many Platinum Pass Winners run deep and score life changing money! I plan to be back for the next one!

The post How I WON $169,850 At The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure! [PCA 2023] | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-6-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Seth Davies is no stranger to huge final tables against the best players in the world. But he found himself in a rather unique spot on the river with just half a big blind left in his stack when Jonathan Little bet enough to put him all-in.

Thinking about ICM (Independent Chip Model) is crucial during final tables. When someone at the table is extremely short-stacked and you are second or third in chips you should look to play more defensively. If you are facing a raise from the chip leader, you should play more passively with hands like Ace-King, which you would typically choose to 3-bet with. You want to avoid busting before the shortest stack at the table so your strategy needs to adapt accordingly.

The 2024 PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $10,000 – $25,000 played from January 25 to February 3, 2024 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$25,000 – 2024 PokerGO Cup Event #8 – Results

1st: Jonathan Little U.S.A – $453,750 2nd: Justin Zaki – U.S.A – $288,750 3rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2’ ‘JustGTO’ – U.S.A – $192,500 4th: John Riordan – U.S.A – $137,500 5th: Seth Davies – U.S.A – $110,000 6th: Shaniel Stokes – U.S.A – $82,500

Preflop: With blinds at 25,000/50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante, Justin Zaki, the chip leader at this final table, raises from the hijack to 120,000 with A6 of spades. Jonathan Little opts to call rather than 3-bet with AKo in the cutoff. After the button and small blind fold, the action is on Seth Davies in the big blind with A9o. He calls with only 20,000 chips remaining, and they head to the flop three-way.

Flop – Th 7d 5d: The ten-high, two-diamond board misses everyone, and Little remains ahead with Big Slick. All three poker professionals check, and they head to the turn.

Turn – Qd: The Q of diamonds on the turn doesn’t improve Davies, who checks with ace-high. Zaki, who didn’t hit a pair or pick up a backdoor straight draw, decides not to put in a delayed continuation bet as he follows suit with another check. Little now has a gutshot straight draw and a king-high backdoor flush draw, as well as still having the best hand with ace-king high. He continues to take the passive route & checks as they head to the river.

River -Kc: The K of clubs on the river sees Davies check for a third and final time, likely hoping to get to showdown with his ace-high. Zaki also checks with ace-high and a worse kicker. Little has improved to a pair of kings on the river and fires out a small value bet of 150,000. Davies is visibly distressed as to how to proceed with less than half a big blind remaining. But will he call, getting unbelievably good pot odds, or will he fold and be left with a chip and a chair? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

The post WPH #519: A RARE Poker Situation [Can He FOLD???] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In this weekly poker hand Jonathan reviews a spot that Jaman ‘The Drawing Dead’ Burton found himself in at the Bellagio poker room in Las Vegas whilst playing a $5/$10/$20 cash game.

Remember that when you are playing in a game that has a straddle that the stack sizes in big blinds are essentially divided in half. Make sure that you adjust your ranges and poker strategy accordingly!

When you are looking to isolate preflop with a raise you should look to use a larger size when you are out of position. This will hurt the implied odds of many suited connectors as the stack to pot ratio will decrease which helps give you a small advantage as you are playing out of position.

Jonathan discusses the questions you should be asking yourself when deciding on the optimal bet size in any given situation at the poker table. An exploitative strategy against recreational poker players is to size up with your value hands as they will tend to continue with the exact same range regardless of bet size (within reason!)

Jaman Burton faces a raise on the flop after he has isolated preflop with pocket queens. Both Jaman and Jonathan discuss what range of poker hands would potentially be doing this. Jonathan suggests that sets should not be raising as they are unlikely to be outdrawn on this board considering Jaman’s raise preflop which narrows his range to strong overcards and overpairs.

Jonathan’s read on the turn is that Jaman’s opponent is trying to look as strong as he can by jamming all in very quickly after Jaman decides to check. Most of the time when opponents are doing this Jonathan believes that they are bluffing!

The post WPH #445: How To READ When Your OPPONENT Is WEAK With Jaman Burton! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Jonathan is joined by PokerCoaching coach JWIN to discuss a hand that he played at the Lodge Poker Club in Austin, Texas.

They discuss the interesting choice from the small blind to just flat call pre-flop. Generally in cash games most players will opt for a 3-bet or fold strategy from the small blind. By the small blind just calling pre-flop it gives a lot of information as to the range of hands that they might have.

This poker hand starts with a very standard raise from JWIN with AQo and a call from the small blind with KTo. On the flop the small blind checks and JWIN continuation bets with top pair for around half pot. On the turn JWIN decides to size up as a flush draw is now available and the opponent could also still have a worse ace. The river brings in the backdoor flush and some straight combinations and JWIN’s opponent decides to lead for a pot sized bet. JWIN has the nut flush blocker and also a straight blocker and opts to turn his top pair into a bluff and uses an extremely large raise size. Will his opponent sniff out the bluff and call with two pair?

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?

The post WPH #444: JWIN Wants To HURT This Poker Player! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Jonathan has always said that you should find the poker table that looks the most fun and splashy. Doug ‘WCGRider’ Polk has found exactly that as he battles against a poker player that may have drank a few too many cocktails! This poker hand took place at the Lodge Poker Club in Austin, Texas. Doug Polk is now a part owner of the club alongside popular poker vloggers Brad Owen & Andrew Neeme.

What makes this poker hand so entertaining is how Adam is constantly talking which appears to be confusing Doug and clouding his judgment on whether to call or fold on the river.

Jonathan talks about how you should often call on flops when you are getting incredible pot odds and you have a hand that has backdoor equity and you are playing in position. Players will fold too often and not factor the bet size that they are facing into their decision!

Doug only has ace high on the river but he knows that something doesn’t quite feel right as he clearly goes back and forth on his decision. Will he ultimately make the correct decision to call against this crazy bluff from Adam?

The post WPH #443: Can A DRUNK Amateur BEAT Doug POLK? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Rising poker star Sashimi takes on established TikTok super star Tommy Unold in this weekly poker hand. The hand has everything as a recipe for disaster as both players have a full house on the turn.

This poker hand took place on Max Pain Monday which is a show hosted by Hustler Casino Live. It encourages showing bluffs, slow rolls, running all-ins only 1 time and generally trying to cause as much pain to your opponent as possible. Is this the worst angle & slow roll in the same poker hand? Decide for yourself!

The hand starts with Tommy limping in early position. Sashimi in the next seat decides to raise to isolate him and Tommy calls. The flop already spells disaster for Tommy as he flops trip queens but is up against Sashimi’s flopped full house. Things go from bad to worse when Tommy turns his own full house which is where this poker hand starts to fall off the rails. Sashimi throws her hand across the betting line and then retrieves it as she apologizes. Tommy cannot find the fold button by the river and is noticeably distraught at this brutal bad beat. What makes this poker hand even more brutal is that Sashimi decides to slow roll him by only showing her queen first before delivering the finishing blow and revealing the jack that is just behind it!

The post WPH #442: Is This The Worst ANGLE & SLOW ROLL In The SAME Hand?! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

I get many questions from my poker students about how best to build their poker bankroll. In today’s live webinar I will walk you through the steps that you need to turn your bankroll into $100,000 in today’s poker climate.

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Poker is not a get rich quick scheme and all of the top poker professionals have put in hours of study and playing to be at the top of the game.

With poker solvers the game has become tougher than it has ever been before so it is extremely important to make sure you are playing in poker games that you are a favorite in. One of my best pieces of advice is to find a game that you beat and just keep playing that! That could be in cash games or tournaments but remember that poker tournaments will have a higher variance than poker cash games.

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.

The post How To BUILD Your Poker BANKROLL To $100,000! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 1-9-2023 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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!

The post WPH #441: Can Rampage Poker BEAT Mariano? [BATTLE Of The Poker Vloggers!] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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?

The post WPH #439: Daniel NEGREANU Is About To LOSE $300,000! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

In this video, I will answer a common question that my poker students often ask me: is poker luck or skill?

It is very easy for 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 post WPH #438: Are You LUCKY Or GOOD At Poker? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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.

The post How To EXPLOIT Your OPPONENTS To WIN At Poker! 12-12-2022 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Charlie Carrel prides himself on his ability to make exceptional live reads. In this hand on PokerGO’s Game of Gold he was heads-up against twitch streamer Lukas Robinson. When they both ended up on the river with just queen-high, will Charlie be able to sniff out the bluff by Lukas?

When you flop a flush draw heads-up that isn’t the nut flush draw, it is usually a good idea to bet, because not only do you get your opponent to fold hands that have some equity, but you also begin to build the pot for when you do hit your flush.

Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77” is a professional poker player from England and has over $9,600,000 in live tournament earnings with his biggest cash of £1,600,000 coming at a Triton Poker Super High Roller Series London in a £50,000 tournament. Charlie is a strong believer in live reads & live tells at the poker table and regularly explains his decision-making based on them. He is widely known to be against the Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach to poker, often saying ‘F#&K GTO’ in his YouTube videos. Instead, he focuses on exploitable poker strategies. Charlie’s big break came in 2014 when he took down the PokerStars Sunday Million for over $200,000. He is good friends with high-stakes tournament poker player Ben Heath.

Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker” is a professional poker player from England. He has over $50,000 in live tournament earnings. He is known for being the first PokerNews ambassador, a role that sees him streaming online poker on Twitch. He made a name for himself in 2021 when he became the first poker player to stream his poker sessions for over 1,000 hours across 100 consecutive days.

Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.

The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.

Round 2 was the heads-up team battle part of the show – There were 4 teams with three players on each team. After one match, the losing team would put up their next poker player. After one team had lost 3 matches they would be eliminated to the losers bracket with the winning team advancing to the winners bracket. The 3 players on the losing team from the losers bracket would be eliminated from the show.

The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.

Game of Gold Results

1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,000 2nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $0 3rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $0 4th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $0 5th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $0 6th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0

Preflop: With blinds at 20,000/40,000, Charlie Carrel calls with Q8 of clubs, and Lukas Robinson checks his option with Q2o from the big blind, which is the button in heads-up play.

Flop – 9c 4c 3h: The nine-high flop offers no assistance to either player. After both poker pros check, they head to the turn.

Turn – 7s: The 7 of spades on the turn completes the badugi board, but once again neither player fires and they both check with queen-high.

River – 5h: The 5 of hearts on the river completes a four-card straight. This time Robinson decides to overbet for 100,000 into the 80,000 pot. Carrel prides himself on his live reads, but can he find the correct call here? Or will Robinons’ huge bluff get through? Stay to the end of this poker video to find out!

The post WPH #518: INSANE READ By Charlie Carrel!!!!! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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!

The post WPH #437: $870,000! The LARGEST Pot On Hustler Casino Live! first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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.

The post WPH #436: Do NOT Try This Against Phil IVEY [Poor Garrett Adelstein!] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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!

The post WPH #435: Phil IVEY Makes The PERFECT Read! [Hustler Casino Live] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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.

The post WPH #434: When To TRIPLE BARREL BLUFF [Poker Strategy With Matt Affleck] first appeared on Jonathan Little.

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.

Garrett Adelstein is the biggest winner on the Hustler Casino Live stream having won over $1,000,000. In today’s hand he is battling against a billionaire recreational poker player – Stanley Tang.

The hand starts with Stanley raising under the gun (UTG) with AKo and in true aggressive Garrett fashion he opts to 3-bet to isolate the recreational player with A9c. Stanley decides to 4-bet and Garrett calls.

Both players hit top pair on the flop and after some betting the magical speech comes from Garrett as he tries to figure out where he is at in this poker hand.

I discuss how most poker players are not check raising on flops as bluffs as often as they should. This leak allows others to exploit them maximally as the strength of their opponent’s hand is very obvious if they do decide to check-raise!

Can Garrett make the correct decision and fold a very strong hand?

The post WPH #433: Can GARRETT Beat A BILLIONAIRE? first appeared on Jonathan Little.

One of the best preflop strategies you can add to your poker game is exploitatively 3-betting. By knowing when to three-bet, you can give yourself an edge in poker tournaments and cash games. You don’t always need pocket aces to be aggressive at the poker table.

By the end of today’s stream, I want YOU to take this quiz and let me know in the comments how you do: https://pokercoaching.com/3betquiz

To become a winning Texas hold’em player, you must be willing to put in the time and study poker. If you are never three-betting preflop, you are missing out on an opportunity to exploitatively bluff your opponents. If you only raise with pocket queens and better, opponents will eventually figure out your game.

James Romero is one of the best poker tournament players in the world and here we discuss a hand that he played during the World Series Of Poker (WSOP).

This poker hand took place during a $3,000 6-max event. The villain in the hand is described by James as an aggro whale which means they are extremely aggressive and not necessarily very good!

Together we share some great tips to beat recreational poker players. You should start by quantifying what exactly the biggest mistakes or leaks that these players have. This will give you a good foundation to formulate a poker strategy that you can use to maximally exploit them.

James starts the hand by raising preflop with AJo from the LJ and the villain in the big blind defends. James makes a well thought through check back on the flop as he believes that this opponent will start to bluff too frequently on most turns and rivers. Does the recreational player fall right into his trap?

If you can’t make the right preflop decisions, how can you expect to make the right plays on the flop, turn, or river? Having a profitable preflop poker strategy starts with having a fundamentally sound preflop range. While every poker player knows how to play pocket aces, what other hands should be in your preflop range? ⁣

Your position in a poker hand heavily dictates what your preflop range should be. What the small blind raises with is completely different from what the dealer or the under-the-gun player raises with. While you must have a proper range for your own hands, you must also be aware of the preflop poker ranges of your opponents as well. ⁣

The final table of a poker tournament offers an extremely high return on investment (ROI) due to massive pay jumps, it is vitally important you are bringing your best game to the final table as this is where the most money is won or lost! In this live poker webinar, PokerCoaching founder and head coach, Jonathan Little, reveals 3 of the most common mistakes you MUST avoid!

Whether you frequently find yourself on the final table of a poker tournament or you’re just preparing in advance, it’s essential to have a deep understanding of the change in dynamic at a final table. Due to the strength of players, the varying stack sizes on the table and the ever increasing size of pay jumps, you MUST know where you stand.

It is important that you understand the Independent Chip Model (ICM) and how much your stack is worth in relation to everyone else at the table. It would be a disaster if you were 2nd in chips with 9 players remaining and you bust in 9th! You should always know where you are in the pack and adjust your strategy accordingly.

You need to ask yourself important questions such as: How does my stack size compare against the rest of the table? Is there a short stack? Am I the short stack? How many stacks are bigger than mine? How large is the next pay jump?

The dynamic of the final table will constantly change, especially as players are knocked out. But never fear, Jonathan Little is here to teach you how to change with it! Remember, success in poker is about constantly learning and evolving. Playing on a final table can seem extremely daunting at first, but the more you familiarize yourself with the situation, the easier it will become!

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 post 3 MISTAKES To AVOID On A FINAL Table! | A Little Poker with Jonathan Little 6-24-2024 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Stephen Chidwick and David Peters are two titans of the high stakes poker world with almost $100,000,000 in live poker tournament earnings combined.

They are playing in a $25,000 poker tournament as part of the US Poker Open in the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas.

With just 3 players remaining and both of them having the biggest two stacks there are some heavy ICM (Independent Chip Model) implications that must be considered as the other player, Sean Winter, has just 14 big blinds.

When you are a middling stack at a poker final table you are highly incentivized to avoid playing huge pots and risk busting when there is a shorter stack at the table. Stephen Chidwick knows this all too well which will be a big reason that he decides to run a huge bluff against David Peters.

The post BEST Poker Tournament TIPS | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 10-24-2022 first appeared on Jonathan Little.

Garrett Adelstein and Robbi Jade Lew are currently two of the most popular names in the poker world due to the recent allegations of cheating on the Hustler Casino Live stream.

This hand takes place between these two household poker names, again on the Hustler stream, but can Robbi find a way to crush Garrett’s hopes and dreams at the poker table once more?

I discuss how the effective stack depth should be a variable to consider when deciding whether to re-raise or call preflop.

It’s always a tricky spot when you have ace king and face continued aggression on the flop when you have missed. It is important to know what suits you have as this will help you decide whether to float the continuation bet assuming that it is a reasonable bet size!
