BONUS: Double Your Win Rate In 10 Easy Steps
Show notes
Contact me here for the one-on-one coaching opportunity
https://www.instagram.com/lowl...Defeat tilt in 10 easy steps.
1. Knowing you are a winning player. Doubt brings outside thoughts of luck, bad dealer karma, etc into the mind
2. Poker outcomes aren’t personal. It’s a random distribution of cards that we don’t control. It may seem intentional but it’s random. When you win with AA vs KK 3 times in a row the other person got screwed. They were entitled to 20% of the pot. But you got all 100%. Three times. Remember those times. Not just the losing times.
3. You will experience just as many suck outs over time as your opponents.
4. Edge is realized in poker over time. One hand or one session or one week has no bearing on the profitability of a winning poker players stats sheet at the end of the year.
5. You aren’t entitled to get dealt good hands. You aren’t entitled to favorable flops, turns or rivers. Poker owes you nothing.
6. All you control are your decisions. The outcomes of hands is random. And over time the math will fall in your favor. But in the short time all you have are your decisions. Take pride and accomplishment in them. The profits will come if those are on point.
7. The money can’t matter. If losing stacks impacts your financial short term future then losing will have a great impact on your mentally. Tilt will live inside you. You won’t be able to control it or escape it.
8. Know when to quit, Tommy Angelo treats quitting as its own skill, and stresses that the decision to quit has to be made while you're still thinking clearly.
9. Play hours, not results. Playing a scheduled will get you accustomed to leaving for reasons other than “I was way up” or staying longer because “im so stuck”
10. Watch for winner's tilt. It’s sneaky and maybe even worse than loser tilt. -

1 Play Tight Preflop
Focus on playing only strong starting hands, especially in early positions-fold weak hands most of the time.
Typically, fold around 80% of your hands at a full table and prioritize pairs, broadways, and suited connectors on the button and cutoff.2 Raise or Fold When First In When you are first to act in a pot, avoid limping (just calling the big blind). Instead, either raise with your selected hands or fold if the hand doesn't meet your standards.
3 Stop Calling Raises With Marginal
Hands
Avoid calling with weak or medium-strength hands after someone else has raised. Only call if you have a strong hand or a specific reason (like good pot odds).4 Value Bet Relentlessly Against CallingStations
Most low stakes opponents will call too often with weak hands, so bet big with your strong hands. Focus on extracting the most value when you hit top pair or better.5 Punish Over-Callers and Tight Players
Use bigger bet sizes to charge loose, passive players who chase draws.
Against tight players who rarely bluff, bet smaller and be willing to fold to big bets.6 Double Barrel (Bet Flop and Turn)
Against Passive Players
If opponents call your flop bet, often follow up with another bet on the turn ("double barrel"), as many low stakes players will fold if you continue showing strength.7 Three-Bet Light in Position
Occasionally re-raise ("three-bet") with hands such as suited connectors, suited aces, and small pairs from the button or cutoff against tight openers. Do not do this with junk hands.8 Play More Hands in Late Position
Actively seek to play hands when sitting near the dealer button or cutoff, as acting last gives you more information and control over the pot size and your actions.9 Exploit Weakness; Don't Bluff Too Much
Bluffing should be limited, as opponents call too often. Only bluff when you see clear signs of weakness and avoid elaborate moves, especially against calling stations.10 Use Logical Systematic Decision
Making
Always analyze the situation: hand strength, position, previous action, and your opponent's tendencies.
Stick to your plan and don't let emotions or tilt affect your choices.

S06E16 - 5 Signs You’re The Fish - Low Stakes Poker
Show notes
Are you doing these 5 things at the poker table?
If you want to crush low stakes holdem I have the most affordable training targeted to low stakes players only. I also have some one-on-one coaching. Plus free content. Get it here: https://lowlimitcashgames.com
More info and links at the bottom of this.
5 Signs You’re The Fish
Think AK is a drawing hand
-If you get called by one person with an unpaired hand they miss the flop 2/3 of the time. Ace high is the best hand.KK are ace magnets
-One ace will come on the flop about 21% of the time.
-Of that 21% your opponent won’t even have an Ace in their hand. Think of all of the hands people call raises with. Worse pairs. Suited connectors. EtcBet huge on AML flop with two suit with your AK cause you don’t wanna get sucked out on.
-Target worse hands that can call.
/On draw heavy boards bet big. But not because someone can suck out. Bet big because so many hands can continue for large sizing. Get paid.You wait until you see a “safe turn card” before you start betting you top pair hand.
-You have no idea what a safe turn is. The 2 offsuit that you think is safe could give them a set. This is nonsensical thinking.You “have to see it” or “if you got it you got it.”
If you can’t fold when beat then you are the fish.
Yes. They hit the flush. They aren’t suddenly bluffing the river when the flush comes in. Fold.—

S06E15 - Playing TPTK OOP - Low Stakes Poker
Show notes
Today we are discussing how to play top pair top kicker out of position.
For access to my coaching site specifically for low stakes cash games, one-on-one poker coaching, or to become a fan of the pod: https://lowlimitcashgames.com
In no-limit hold’em, navigating a **top pair hand out of position (OOP)** on the flop with **two opponents in position** requires balancing aggression, protection, and pot control. The strategy hinges on **flop texture**, opponent tendencies, stack depths, and prior action. Below is a detailed breakdown of when to bet, check, check-raise, or bet-fold:
1. Flop Texture
✅Dry Flops (e.g., K♦ 3♠ 2♥ – no draws, low connectivity)
-Bet 25%-33% pot .
-Dry board means they don’t have draws to continue
-They mostly have nothing or worse Kx🚩Medium Flops (e.g., **Q♣ 9♦ 4♣** several draws)
-Bet 50% pot for value and protection.
There are several draws. Open ended straight, gutshot straigh, and flush draws. With two opponents it’s fair that can have fair equity. Several turns make it dicey. We need to get value and charge those hands.Options
Check-Raise?
-Against aggressive opponents. If checked to, an aggressive player may bet with air or draws. Check-raising punishes their bluffs and builds the pot.
Bet-Fold?
-If facing a raise, assess opponent tendencies. Fold vs tight players; call vs loose or bluffy opponents that will raise with draws.🚫Wet Flops (e.g., **J♠ T♦ 9 ♠** – middling cards, multiple draws, high connectivity)
-Bet 35% pot for protection.
-Wet boards threaten your equity with flush, straight, combo draws. Navigating turns and rivers will be difficult. Small bets and small pots is the objective.Options
Check-Raise?
-Highly effective here. Let opponents bet their draws, then raise to charge maximum. Example: If you check, a player with Q9 or 98 may bet. If you are 100bb deep check raising to get it all in against these hands heads up is profitable. The danger is raising into the nuts. Or very high equity hands.Bet-Fold?
-Avoid unless facing a large raise from a passive player (indicates strong made hands like two-pair/sets/straights).2. Opponent-Specific Adjustments
-Passive Opponents:
Bet smaller (50-60% pot) for value. They’ll rarely bluff-raise, so bet-fold only vs large raises.
-Aggressive Opponents:
Check-raise wet boards to exploit their bluffs. On dry boards, bet and call down if raised (they may have air).
-Loose calling stations:
Bet larger (75%+ pot) for Max value. They’ll chase draws, so punish them.
-Tight Players:
Bet smaller and bet-fold to raises (they rarely bluff).3. Stack Depth Adjustments
- Short Stacks ( Bluff:
Top pair is vulnerable; prioritize betting for value charging draws over bluffing.
- Leverage Positional Disadvantage:
Use check-raise to flip the positional script in the right configuration.
- Adjust to Player Types:
Exploit nits with small bets, calling stations with large bet sizes, maniacs with check-raises.
-Avoid Hero Calls OOP:
When raised, lean toward folding unless you have a read.Top pair OOP is a marginal hand in multi-way pots. Play it aggressively on dry boards, cautiously on wet ones, and always respect raises from tight opponents.
