brilliant explanation. and the points on the players psychology; what they think of others is a big way you can make them fold. players who look at others in big situations usually fall into this category I've found at the low stakes tournaments i play.

Really cool points about capped ranges and good times to overbet as a bluff and overbet for value. Also cool point about the types of players who love trying to make hero calls and how an overbet can look weaker to them than a normal-sized bet. Also cool points about the break-even rates of overbetting. Thanks again!

Very good video, since I use the mixed strategy (strong hands, Nuts and bluffs; before I saw this video) I make much more money!👍

Not one of my favorite Alec videos...a bit abstract and somewhat loquacious. Some concrete examples would be useful. I also think that it is a pretty huge generalization to say that just because villain checked the flop, he is capped. Even with very strong hands, there are often reasons to check...pot control, a scary board, playing against calling stations who just never fold (and seem to get lucky a bit too often), and of course, deception. If I had some idea my opponent was going to overbet on a regular basis, all the more reason to call the flop and check the turn, especially in position. And definitely when deep stacked, for example on a wet board, pot control can be a legitimate concern with something like TPTK or bottom two pair... Also, since small value bets get called with a much higher frequency, some kind of graph might be useful to give people an idea of profitability percentages, kind of thing. Not sure if that makes sense, but you probably get the drift of it. Thanks for all your efforts, Alec. :)

It's just me I'm sure but I can't follow this. It goes right by me. Maybe it's the cadence. It's probably great information. I see the others like it.

Near the end of the vid., when you were offering: 'a quick fact before you go'..(at about 7:20 on the timer...) you confused me by using the terms 'when you're value betting....you want your opponent to fold more than 50% of the time.." and when you're 'betting for value... you want your opponent to call more than 50% of the time.." value betting and betting for value are the same thing....?

I think he misspoke. He meant when you're bluffing, you want your opponent to fold more than 50% of the time.

Hey Alec. First, I want to say that I really enjoy your videos and I am glad I found a channel like yours. I wanted to ask you how do you keep motivated and focused during an entire poker tournament. For example, last tournament I played was a 2.2$+R on Pokerstars. From the beginning of it and untill I got eliminated I was never below 10th place. For 3 hours I made some decent (not amazing, but pretty good) decisions and managed to stay on top. Soon as I lost a hand that cost me about 1/4 of my stack, I started tilting, and in 5 minutes I was out. It's not even the first time stuff like this happens to me. I noticed some kind of pattern, but I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks and sorry for the english mistakes

Alec mentioned "The Power of Now" and because of him I read it and it was life changing. I used to have anger management issues, no longer. It's a spiritual book, but you don't have to change your beliefs to practice it. Another great book is Jared Tendler mental game book.

wait, so if our opponent flops a monster, we cbet, and we check the turn...you don't think that the opponent would check behind with his monster if he correctly concludes based on his read and the board, that our flop bet was just a standard cbet with air and that betting the turn would just blow us out of the pot? Him checking may allow us to catch up or sufficiency under rep his hand so that he might get an A high crying river call.

Pick up Ed Miller's book "The Course" the first couple chapters has the simplest plan for you. I don't think it's the best, Alec has better stuff, but it is very approachable. If you don't want to read I'd say. 1. Play Tight. 2. Flop a hand. 3. Bet/Fold.

I play 1/2 mostly. Don't buy-in for less than $200 or much more than that either. Play pretty tight until you get the swing of things..every game plays differently. Often 1/2 medium stack depths (200 (100BB) is pretty medium) games play pretty ABC...open for maybe 3-5x, and if you hit the flop pretty hard, bet about 3/4 pot...that's often the end of the hand. Don't overthink yourself..players at this level rarely are thinking deeply, and often are going to call with top or middle pairs so you don't want to try bluffing that much if someone is calling the flop, kind of thing.

question: by me checking the turn, how believable can I rep the nuts on the river even though his range is caped?
@molteriet

You don't need to rep the nuts if his range is capped - that's the idea
@cooledcannon

The reason you want to bet big and often when your range crushes his is because if he knows what's up(that his range is crushed) he's just going to fold to a bet. So you want to bet(almost?) every single time. But then it's obvious you're betting with weak hands as well, so you want to charge him to call and get paid when you actually do have a good hand. So either he pays you off when you have it good or he folds when you don't.
