    This guy must be doing a lot of fishing…

    If you’re gonna make a video for newbies why are you using every poker term under the sun as if I know what you’re talking about?

  4. @computerchip127

    your videos are too long, way too long. Get to the point already. You talk just to hear yourself talk. Annoying. Your voice is horrible, nasal voice.

    I'm a fish and proud of it. I play for fun, not for money.

    Keep betting vs Fish with your AJ, and then fish shows tou pocket fives on the river. Every situation in poker is individual, you are looking for tells, you know something about your players ranges, but this video is not about online poker on GG. Like it is nerver going to be te best strategy there.
    Maybe if you are playing cash games, because it is this video all about. But really are your biggest dream to play cash games thousand of hours.
    I am so sorry about your poor lives.

    Lets talk about Omaha.
    Some of your tips are just going to trash.

    Great video! These strategies are solid fundamentals that every poker player should know. Understanding hand rankings, position, and the importance of patience can really improve your game. Also, knowing when to fold is crucial—sometimes the best move is to walk away from a bad hand.

    For beginners, mastering these basics is key to building a strong foundation in poker. Keep practicing, and remember, poker is as much about strategy as it is about reading your opponents.

    I wish there is a year of the Fish so I can play the whole year 😅.

    Good video here but I have a question. On tip 3 with AJ in the pocket and flopped J, 8, 7 ….. on the turn a 6 drops …… this is what I call "a Pocket Straight Warning" …. I am not understanding the big push on the River because whether the opponents(s) left in the hand are good or bad players, with a pocket Straight on the board I always worry about the opponent being able to make the Straight from the 2 cards in his pocket and in this scenario I would be betting on a pair of Jacks to get me over the finish line. Same with Pocket Flushes. I fully admit I am no pro thus why I am asking why we push hard on the River with the possibility of the Pocket Straight staring back at us?

    (for those reading this and not up to speed on Poker stuff, I call any board showing 3 of a suit a Pocket Flush Warning meaning the flush can be completed with the two cards in the players pocket (the 2 face down cards each player has is the pocket). Same with a Pocket Straight Warning – 3 cards are on the board that form a sequence thus making it possible to complete the Straight using the 2 pocket cards the player has. Some will say the odds are low that this will happen but I have seen this happen all the time on a regular basis for both Straights and Flushes especially online poker. So I am geniunely curious as to what I am missing that maybe the Pro Player can give me some insight about this.

    Thanks! I always get confused by the poker lingo (;

    My strategy is to go all in every Han ON the blind

  13. @markfitzsimmons7544

    I was down to $95 in a $500 limit. Last hand for me, win or lose.
    I'm dealt 4 2 off. I go all in. 3 callers. Flop comes 4 2 2. Full house. They each raised. Turn and river are bricks. I win the hand and broke even. They were PISSED that I went all in with 4 2 off. Point here is I am allowed to play whatever fucking cards I want. They weren't forced to call OR raise each other. Lesson learned for them.
