Poker is booming at the moment and there is no better time than to brush up on your skills and fix any leaks that you might have at the poker table in order to start printing profits at the poker table. In this poker webinar Jonathan will teach you his #1 small stakes cash game exploit that you can use time and time again against your opponents.

If you're only 3-betting JJ+ & AK then you are going to be so easy to play against! Far too many people overestimate their edge and leave tons of money on the table. To win tons of money, you need to have a loose, aggressive image so that you get paid when you have it!

Many poker players people continuation bet far too often in cash games! Focus your aggression on boards that are good for your perceived range.

The goal at the poker table should be to make the most money that you can. The goal should not to 'be right' or let people know that you got out drawn. It is important to note that in most small stakes live cash games, people are simply not bluffing enough! Exploit this tendency by never hero calling the river against these types of players.

    What is the biggest mistake that YOU see in small stakes cash games? 🚫
  • @kingtayrool825
    The river calls are my biggest mistake... I tell myself they always have it. Then I call 🤦‍♂
  • @GuddaGang
    John I been tuned in for like a year, I study everyday and I play live cash games everyday. I been playing for 4 years but studying hard for like 11 months. I’ve improved drastically and I’m on my 15th winning session in a row. Solid fundamentals and plenty of time at the table have made the difference. Not to mention these videos. Thanks a lot! I appreciate all the effort and information contained in these videos. I’m almost debt free from poker alone 🙏🏿💯

    Have you played in any of the Texas rooms? This is how this goes: 1/2 UTG raises $10 UTG + 2 calls UTG + 3 calls, you are cutoff w/AJ suited and 3 bet to $40 sm blind calls, bb calls, UTG calls, UTG +2 calls, UTG + 4 calls.
  • @jasonsitu5287
    I learned about range advantage through your training and learned how to bluff with it occasionally and it works which added a lot of money into the bankroll, your training changed my life so much thanks so much again Johnathan
  • @staceybertran52
    Always love these videos. I feel so confident at the table. Thanks JL.
  • @steriopticon2687
    I made mistake #3 last week and the pity the other players showed me was excruciating to endure. Thank you for articulating the context.
  • I think this person makes some of the best beginner intermediate player teaching content! Very useable and not too much complexity,,,🎉
  • @fransfermont6193
    Very nice video sir. One of the best so far, and there are many of them.
  • @brianpotter2812
    Thanks Johnathan. I just literally played $1/$2 NLHE yesterday at my local casino and did the exact thing with my aces. I was in BB and had 3 limpers so I made it $10 and got one two callers MP player and the button. Flop is Q 10 3 rainbow, so I continuation bet and the MP player looks confused but calls. Turns brings another 10 and this time he raises me. I made the call, and also check called on the river on another brick (I think it was as 5). He had 7c10c for trips on the turn. Sucks, but I lost about $135 extra on that hand and I could have just folded. The player seemed to be a decent player, so I thought maybe he was semi bluffing with a straight draw, but as you stated for low stakes players....they only bet confidently with 2 pair or higher.
  • @79underbarn
    Thanks for a good video! You last KJ top pair fold learned me the most, excellent advice
  • @gmanNC13
    Absolutely agree with this! I kinda wish you hadn’t shared #2 because almost no one does this enough and it’s a goldmine!
  • @therominator8709
    Could you do a video for live 3 - 6 limit holdem. I'm learning the strategy but right now I'm two for three on losing sessions.
  • @caramelized_onion
    Comment about the aces hand: the problem is that if i bet small on the turn as u said they will take that as weakness and try to bluff with maybe a king only so that way i will he over folding thus exploitable right? I appreciate your feedback qnd sorry for my mediocre english
  • @DeliceProductions
    Very good video with good examples. My main mistake is the hero calling the river. Which makes you win 15 small pots and then losing everything i won + a part of my stack on a call of a nut hand from my opponent. Rest of the tips i also should do more but #3 is 100% my biggest mistake.
  • @cheflev9884
    I like the first tip of 3 betting more often. My question is how often? I have found that in many spots that this is a perfect way too simply bleed chips. Either because opponents call, see the flop and hit or too many opponents stick around after the 3 bet anyways. Either way I did this with 2 hands the other night and needed up going multi-way to the flop, not hitting while facing aggression.
  • @alexk9672
    Mr. Little, Bravo sir, bravo. I watched this video 6 times and tested it, and it works. I have hit people so hard with your strategy on day two of using it that they left the table. I lost about 40$, setting up my 3-bet bluffet on a .25/.50 table. I spent two hours today and left the table up 90$. I'll take it, slow grind. I love the Jedi mind tricks 😂. I can see their heads up exploding as I destroy them 🤯. I went on a 5 hand run, I had18$ left out of my 40$ at the start of it, after grinding for an 1.3 hours. Thanks, I was playing horrible poker before your videos. I understand why they made fun of me at tables 😂. They're not laughing anymore though! You are the goat, I know of other pros, and I never understood them. What you say makes sense, and it's hilarious to think about when I'm exacting my revenge 😎.
  • @Boogario
    Thanks for all your help Jonathan. I made $50 in my small stakes cash games this weekend using your advice
  • @stu_gahtz1740
    So in the CO RFI BTN 3b is it viable to cut out the ATo and AJo and instead use some ATs A9s
  • Can you make a video on how to play A5s (and other hands in the 3-bet bluffing range) preflop versus both balanced and unbalanced players?
