How To WIN Your HOME POKER GAME? | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 4-4-2022

While I often discuss poker strategy and content taking place in casinos and online, rarely do I cover where many of my students play poker the most: their very own homes! Today, I am going to cover what you need to know to dominate your home games and help you make a profit in any man cave. With the majority of home games being made up of recreational poker players, reviewing proper reads and ranges will better prepare you to beat loose, splashy players. While you may be the better poker player...

Today we have an interesting hand from The Lodge where Doug Polk makes a huge all-in river bet in a high stakes live cash game! Texas poker is WILD and this hand is no different!

How To Play The TURN When DEEP – GTO Examples | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 3-14-2022

Despite being a byproduct of success, a deep stack can be hard to play with at the poker table. Both cash game and tournament players can struggle adjusting to big chip stacks, as there are more variables to consider. The decisions you make on the turn can often make or break your success in the hand. Turn play can be hard enough, but what variables should you be considering when you are deep stacked? The bigger the stack the more you have to lose, which means you must be prepared! Whether you s...

How To Decide WHEN To BLUFF! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-14-2022

Today, I detail the bluffing flowchart that will give even beginner poker players the know-how they need to bluff effectively.
