Recommended by YouTube after watching Brad Owen. Where's the revenge range?

Yeah my game changed when I realized a few things. I used to play any ace or face and would always pay to see a flop. And I had a hard time folding aces and faces. I never thought about position either.
I started thinking as though my opponant has the best hand possible w the board, and started presenting as though I had the best hand possible on the board. I realized that perception is often more important than reality in Poker. Changed everything.
What throws me off now is that I play a lot of home games with people who 'don't know how to play" 🤣
Trying to figure out ranges and what they got by how they bet is worthless with people that play random cards and make random bets. Just gotta keep in mind they are as likely to have trash as they are a winning hand, and they don't know how to play either hand right. 🤣
The only real advantage is that they rarely fold if they have anything... pair of 3's and they are going all the way lol. And their bluffs are pretty obvious.
But then they play trip 3s the same as a pair of 3s so I been caught a few times thinking my 2 pair was golden. 🤣

I followed this exactly, just finished 2nd out of 212 people first try!

Beginner poker content doesn’t need “Whenever everyone folds to you”. What we need is “when everyone limps to you” 😂

This is actually gold.

This video is still awesome today. Came back to it just for a refresh. Thank you so much Johnathan!

Instructions unclear, went allin blind preflop.

Mr Little! I am new to actual poker. Ive played with friends before but always felt like i was gambling, with no strategy whatsoever. I thought i wanted to learn to play properly. Let me tell you, i have been OBSESSED with your fundamentals course. I knew nothing of ranges and 3 betting pre flop, or even positions. I would always be first out when my friends and i played a cash game. I started watching your mastering the fundamentals course and thought id come back to where it all started and leave a comment. Ive been implimenting your fundamentals and gto as best as my memory will allow. I sit there with the print out of the charts preflop from all positions. And i lost 4 buy ins consecutively to start with. However, my last 2 sessions i doubled up and today tripled up. It was only micro, MICRO stakes with a 2 dollar buy in. You make this intrinsically complicated subject easy to comprehend for such a beginner as myself. Thank you Jonathan, i appreciate you giving this fundamentals course for free. Im learning a hell of a lot, and enjoying it.

If you guys get to the point where you’re so good no one calls you (1 hour at the same table with big hands) start playing j6 or K7 more often but still on the button or near it. Play them like you would a ak or Aq so you can snag the two pair when people will think you have the top pair with weak kicker or missed flush when they pay you off with Ak

Amazing, I studied this video a couple times and managed to a local live tournament. I can’t wait to explore post flop now and continue studying! Thank you

Great preflop back to basics video ! Here's an explanation for the 6:30 «mysterious triangle» where 22 beats AKo; AKo beats JTs but JTs beats 22... why ? It's because AKo and JTs will usually get an overpair to beat 22. When you start with 2 offsuited cards, you'll make you hand around 48,7% of the time. Because it's a little bit under 50%, 22 is ahead with a made hand preflop. So why JTs is stronger against the ducks than AKo ? JTs has a lot more potential with the flush as it is suited but also powerful for a straight with cards from 7 to A that can help compared to AK that only has 3 cards available to make its straight. Let's now take a look at AJo and JTs, in this scenario, AKo will generally  win with high card only. JTs has to fight harder to win this hand because getting top pait is a lot easier than getting a straight or a flush.

I went through the post flop modules today, taking a lot of notes. I'm now playing against bots, using the notes to guide me through each hand. I wish I had done this with The Theory ages ago.  Great stuff, Jonathan.

I really enjoyed this video. I feel like it instantly helped me tighten up my game all around. Thanks a million

This is one of your best videos.  I much prefer this format to your livestream videos, this format is a lot more focused, to the point and filled with great information.

I think one of the most frustrating and difficult things to understand as a beginner is playing the right hands preflop.  So many times I'd fold J-5o, then the flop would come J-5-2 and I'd be kicking myself.  Then in another hand I'd play K-Qs and the flop would come 9-5-4 rainbow.  Used to frustrate the hell out of me.  Just remember, in the LONG RUN, you're making the right choices, even in in this particular session you would have been better off playing 9-4o than A-Ks.

Hot damn. I just got into hold ‘em and thought “right I need an awesome video explaining hands preflop” and this was the first video that popped up on my main feed. Didn’t even have to search 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Premium stuff.

playing in a small tournament literally while watching your videos. currently top 3 chip leader with 12 left in a tourney of 250. Don't know if luck but i definitely used your tips lol thanks

Brilliant! Well-named too as the funadamentals of things are often not simple and nor are they easy to do well. It's lucky that so many poker plays can't be bothered to use this content as it's amazing. Ty

How do you access the full free course - the website prompts me to pay
