When Playing With A Short Deck Is A Positive · S8E20

Season 8 · Episode 20

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 25:23

Short deck #poker is a hold'em variant in which the 2s through 5s are stripped from the deck. The variant has been popular in live high-stakes games for years, but is now appearing commonly at lower stakes, both online and live.

One reason short deck is popular is that many hold'em players make understandable but costly mistakes. Thus the studied player has the opportunity to generate bigger win-rates than in regular hold'em. Give yourself an edge on the field by listening to this final episode of season 8 of the podcast.

A Novel Poker Play: Shoving With A Capped Range · S8E18

Season 8 · Episode 18

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 19:37

When you see big bets over multiple streets from an opponent, what do you conclude? Most studied #poker players would assume they are facing a polarized range, and respond accordingly. But against a strong player, that need not be the case.

In this episode of the podcast, coach w34z3l explains the concept of capped shoving; that is, making large bets to get all in with a capped range. By understanding this counterintuitive play, you will be able to profitably add it to your game, while defending against it when used by tough opponents.

Poker Study: The Formations That Matter Most · S8E17

Season 8 · Episode 17

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 25:37

Most #poker players acknowledge that the more you study the better your results become. However, other life commitments mean that, in practice, we have a limited amount of time to devote to studying poker. This suggests it is critical to focus on the topics that really matter.

In this podcast episode, coach w34z3l summarizes an analytical study that determines the poker scenarios that have the biggest impact on your win-rate. This provides a priority list of poker formations to explore. One key takeaway: most players should devote time to their play out of the big blind.

Befuddling Your Opponents With Micro Bets · S8E16

Season 8 · Episode 16

Tuesday, August 4, 2026 • Duration 25:02

Do you tend to use a limited number of bet sizes in your strategy? Such simplified approaches have value, but many #poker players are missing out on profitable spots by restricting their sizing. This applies both to large and small bets.

This episode of the podcast explores the small end of the spectrum, specifically looking at micro bets as small as 10% of pot. In addition to being theoretically motivated, these tiny bets have the added benefit of forcing your opponents into unknown territory where they are liable to make mistakes.

The Fundamentals Of Heads-Up Hold'em · S8E15

Season 8 · Episode 15

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 30:03

Many #poker players regard heads-up play as the purest form of the game. You are locked in a duel of wits with a single opponent, constantly trying to outmaneuver them and countering their tactical adjustments. The one-on-one nature also means your skill edge is magnified leading to high win-rates.

This podcast episode gives a comprehensive overview of all the skills required to succeed in heads-up play. In addition to strategic and tactical considerations, coach w34z3l also explores soft skills, including attracting weaker players to your table.

Grinding Poker In A Rec-Friendly Environment · S8E13

Season 8 · Episode 13

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 28:04

Online #poker is a very different beast to twenty years ago. Essentially all poker sites have taken the decision to clip the wings of the professional grinder, ostensibly to encourage the survival of recreational players. Table caps, minimal rake back, and HUD restrictions require the pros to make concessions.

In this episode of the podcast, coach w34z3l discusses how the online grinder can navigate this hostile environment. There are no ideal poker sites anymore, but you can still develop a strategy to play professionally or to generate a significant side income.

Realistic Expectations For Your Poker Decisions · S8E12

Season 8 · Episode 12

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 • Duration 22:06

Any #poker session you play can be thought of as a series of decisions. The "correct" decision in any spot, such as whether to bet and how much, in principle has an objectively-correct answer. This has some players erroneously seeking perfection.

In the real world, the information you use to make each decision contains uncertainty. You simply do not know the precise range of your opponent, and even if you did, a precise EV calculation in real time is not a feasible goal. Make the best decision you can with the available information, but accept that your goal is to be good, not perfect.

Poker Tips From LLMs: How Bad Are They? · S8E11

Season 8 · Episode 11

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 26:16

An increasing number of people rely on ChatGPT summaries to explain complex topics. Is this a good idea if you're looking for tactical and strategic information about #poker? This fun episode of the podcast explores the question.

As you may have found in other disciplines, one of the problems with relying on any LLM is that the accuracy of the information they return can be extremely unpredictable. ChatGPT provides decent summaries of some areas of poker, and laughably bad ones in others.
