Wow do I feel for Ricky here! Wildest thing I’ve seen in a while….
Highrollers/rule gurus, is this correct ruling? The 6d was supposed to be burn card on turn. 🤯
@WSOP hard to rectify this but throw some of that promo/vlogger $ this man’s way or something
Just brutal 🥴
For 15 years, Joe Stapleton has been one of the most recognizable voices in poker.
Now, he’s bringing that energy exclusively to WSOP.
Welcome to the biggest stage in poker @Stapes 👏 👏
@WillOAyers@DougPolkVids This is not true at all. You could literally get a $5 poker book (it may be free now) from @JonathanLittle and with that knowledge beat almost any live cash game. Also, I hope none of you believe me. I suck at poker.
ever played with the guy who LOVES to trap when he has big hands?
here's how to beat "phil hellmuth" type players:
1. check raise their cbets. he loves to trap strong hands on the flop, so when he bets the flop, he's MUCH more capped. punish.
2. tread much more lightly when he checks back the flop. his check back range is protected.
3. bet small twice to cap them, even on blank turns. in general, i love to overbet on blank turns because most players fastplay all their strong stuff on the flop. these guys don't. lots more smaller betting on turns (even with value!)
4. float his flop check raises wide. again, he likes to trap. what's that mean about his flop check raising range?
ever heard a poker player complain about having nits at the table?
this makes me giggle. most players want “action games” because if people don’t pay them off, they have no other gear.
good players? they’re just fine having a table full of nits.
the bad news: you don't win many 200bb pots off nits
the good news: you don't need to
how to beat em?
1) overfold everytime they start putting a lot of money into the pot. they're underbluffing, they don't go thinly enough with value. stop hero calling them. fold.
2) fastplay your value. if they're underbluffing, there's zero point in giving them rope. remember, they don't value bet thinly enough so when they start putting money in, their range is way too STRONG. if you have the nuts and they're telling you they have a good hand, why wait? pile.
3) dial back the bluffs on the river. unlike loose players, nits get to the river with a range that's too strong. trying to bluff a strong range off a hand is a losing bet. let it go.
winning 5-10bb at a time isn't sexy, but it’s a low variance print.
Anyone else have the occasional dream of shoving all-in with the nuts, getting called, and then at showdown your cards magically change to something basically random?
Since it's Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to share my recent autism diagnosis (2e). I shared this on Instagram and had so many people reach out wondering if it might apply to them or someone in their lives. Autism doesn’t always look the way people expect.

If nobody can bluff you - it means you're a calling station.
Getting bluffed is part of the game.
Expand and ease into the feeling of getting bluffed.
It's not personal, it's not bad, it's just something that's going to happen if you play good poker.
Embrace it.
