Brokos | 3-Bet Ranges When Deep | For 100bb stack depth, tools like the GTO Ranges app by Red Chip give you definitive 3-bet ranges. But what about when we're deep? How do we adjust? |
Brokos | Giving 3-Bets Action | Andrew takes a fundamental look at when and why we should continue against 3-bets. When is flatting acceptable, and when should we respond with a 4-bet? |
Brokos | Playing As The 3-Bettor | We 3-bet preflop and get called. How do we handle the flop and later streets? Andrew illustrates some key principles through hand examples. |
Brokos | Playing Against 3-Betttors | Playing 3-bet pots as the defender puts many players on the back foot, but Andrew explains how we can negotiate postflop profitably. |
Brokos | Bread And Butter vs Capped Ranges | In this four-part series, Andrew looks at the nuances of playing capped ranges. The first installment looks at some baseline profitable plays. |
Brokos | Overbetting vs Capped Ranges | Capped ranges are particularly vulnerable to aggression, opening up the potential for overbet bluffs when we have the luxury of the uncapped range. |
Brokos | Overbetting vs Capped Ranges 2 | The overbet into a capped range is such a powerful play, it took Andrew two videos to fully explore it. Here he demonstrates the ideas through hand examples. |
Brokos | Playing With Capped Ranges | Having explored how we can abuse our opponents when they are stuck with a capped range, the shoe is on the other foot in this concluding video of the series. |
Brokos | Barreling: Range Advantage | Andrew explores the concept of range advantage, explaining what it means, where it comes from, and how you can leverage it. |
Brokos | Barreling: Range Construction | When our flop c-bet is called, we have the decision to either barrel or check the turn. Andrew explains how to construct a betting range that includes value hands and bluffs. |
Brokos | Barreling: Bet Sizing | You've determined you have a good barreling spot, but how much do you bet? Andrew explains the math that determines the optimal bet size. |
Brokos | Barreling: Turn Ranges | The turn card naturally has a major impact on whether we choose to barrel. Andrew presents some practice hands that illustrate whether or not we should barrel. |
Brokos | Barreling: River Ranges | The river is unique among betting streets because it's no longer possible to have drawing equity. How do various river cards affect your decision to fire one last bet? |
Brokos | MW Pots 1: Analyzing Flop Textures | Multiway pots are common at low stakes and confuse many players. Andrew shows how the flop texture can help us make profitable decisions. |
Brokos | MW Pots 2: Examples | Andrew expands the discussion from Part 1 with hand examples, in which the flop texture influences his play in multiway pots. |
Brokos | MW Pots 3: Analyzing Flop Actions | Betting actions on multiway flops tend to be purer. Andrew explains this concept and how you can exploit it to simplify your decisions. |
Brokos | MW Pots 4: Analyzing Turns | When a multiway flop proceeds to a heads-up turn, the surviving ranges tend to be stronger. Andrew presents several hands to illustrate how this principle can be exploited. |
Brokos | MW Pots 5: Analyzing Rivers | Pots are often large by the river, setting up the opportunity for big bluffs, and tough folds. Andrew demonstrates how to reach the correct decisions through examples. |
Brokos | Nightmare Flops Part 1: The “Heavy” Flop | In this series on nightmare flops, Andrew looks at flops which are difficult to play as the EP raiser. We begin with "heavy" flops on which we have a nuts disadvantage. |
Brokos | Nightmare Flops Part 2: The Monotone Flop | The Monotone Flop can be a puzzling nightmare for some players. Handling such flops well centers on not making decisions easy for your opponents. |
Brokos | Nightmare Flops Part 3: The “Wet” Flop | The "Wet" Flop. With all those draws on the board, being out of position is a huge disadvantage. Andrew explains how to navigate this nightmare flop. |
Brokos | Nightmare Flops Part 4: The Ace-High Flop | The Ace-High Flop. Not always a nightmare, but that doesn't mean you're playing it optimally. Planning ahead for future streets should inform your c-betting strategy. |
Brokos | River Raising Part 1 | Pots can be big on the river, but this is where many players are their weakest! Andrew discusses key theory concepts related to raising rivers, both for value and as a bluff. |
Brokos | River Raising Part 2 | How often do you bluff raise the river? Probably not enough! Andrew looks at examples of bluff raising with a focus on playing in position. |
Brokos | River Raising Part 3 | When was the last time you check-raise bluffed the river? Andrew explains the theory behind betting versus check-raising as a bluff through examples. |
Brokos | Bluffing Mistakes Part 1 | Hand reading isn't just about figuring out what your opponent has, it's about deducing what they probably don't have. This opens the door for profitable bluffs. |
Brokos | Bluffing Mistakes Part 2 | Are your opponents really unbluffable, or are you just not trying hard enough? Learn techniques for applying maximum pressure with minimal risk. |
Brokos | Bluffing Mistakes Part 3 | Even when you're bluffing, your cards matter. Instead of pushing and hoping that your opponent folds, learn to think in terms of bluffing ranges. |
Brokos | Bluffing Mistakes Part 4 | To bluff effectively, you need to consider which hands you are trying to make your opponent fold. This naturally leads to a plan of attack. |
Brokos | Consider ALL Your Options Part 1 | Solvers frequently check the turn after check-raising the flop, whereas the line is rare among human players. Andrew shows how this play can be added to your arsenal. |
Brokos | Consider ALL Your Options Part 2 | Check Flop, Raise Turn. The effectiveness of this line depends heavily on your opponent's turn strategy. Learn when and how to employ it effectively. |
Brokos | Consider ALL Your Options Part 3 | Check, check, overbet. Some overbet candidates in this line are "obvious," others not so much. Exploit your opponents with this little-used betting line. |
Brokos | Consider ALL Your Options Part 4 | Donking the Turn. There are good reasons not to do this too often. But on specific turn cards, donk bets play an important part of the out-of-position player's strategy. |
Brokos | Floating Part 1: What, When, and Why? | What does it mean to "float"? When should you consider doing it? And why? |
Brokos | Floating Part 2: Floating Candidates | Your cards and backdoor equity are critical when floating. Andrew explains what kinds of hands will set you up to execute the most profitable turn and river strategies. |
Brokos | Floating Part 3: When They Check The Turn | You floated the flop. Your opponent checked the turn. Now what? Take an in-depth look at bluffing ranges, bet sizes, and more. |
Brokos | Floating Part 4: They Check The Turn Contd | It's a topic too big for one video! We continue our investigation of strategy on a variety of board textures when you float flop and your opponent checks the turn. |
Brokos | Floating Part 5: When They Bet The Turn | If you call the flop with a weak hand, you don't improve, and your opponent bets again, usually you should just fold. But not always. Here are the exceptions. |

Jones | River Play 101 | In this two-part mini-series, coach w34z3l leads off with the fundamentals of sound river play. |
Jones | Advanced River Play | The pot and bets tend to be big on the river, thus it's well worth looking at advanced concepts to make sure we play this street like an expert. |
Jones | Semi-Bluffing The Turn | Semi-bluffing the flop is a routine play made attractive by the fact we have two cards to come. But what's the correct approach to semi-bluffing the turn? |
Jones | Mistakes As The Defender | Playing as the defender typically means we are playing with a capped range. This handicap can lead to predictable mistakes. Learn how to rectify them. |
Jones | Raising Flops In Position | We have position on our opponent and they lead into us on the flop. What are the criteria for raising their bet? Coach w34z3l covers the essential concepts. |
Jones | Mindset | We all recognize that the correct mindset is essential for winning poker, but how does one achieve this happy state? There are some simple steps. |
Jones | Check-Raising Flops | Playing out of position makes poker more difficult, so it's critical we make correct use of our primary aggressive weapon: the check-raise. |
Jones | CREV 101 | Before full solvers were ubiquitous, a popular tool for looking at the EV of postflop lines was CREV. It can still unveil important postflop strategies. |

Jones | Player Pool Analysis (Limping And Isolating) | We know that preflop limping is generally the sign of a weak player, but how do we maximize our profit when our opponents make that error? |
Jones | Targeting Recreationals | Much of your poker profit comes from exploiting players with much weaker poker skills. But how in practice do we target such players? |
Jones | BRM and Shot Taking | Bankroll management is a critical part of playing poker profitably. But being overly conservative is also a mistake. Sometimes you've got to take shots. |

Jones | Playing Vs 4-Bets | In many lower-stakes games, facing a preflop 4-bet means you're up against a strong range. How does one continue in such a situation? |
Jones | Playing In 4-Bet Pots | 4-bet pots are large and naturally produce a low SPR. Coach w34z3l discusses how to negotiate these important hands postflop. |
Jones | Defending Vs 5-Bets | In aggressive online games, 5-bets can mean more than simply KK+. In such cases, a proper defense strategy is essential, as w34z3l explains. |

Jones | Drilling OOP As The Cold-Caller | Playing OOP as the cold caller is a common but difficult scenario, most commonly produced when we defend our big blind. Learn how to do it well. |
Jones | Dismantling Turn Probes | A turn probe bet occurs when the aggressor skips a flop c-bet and the OOP player leads turn. This video explains how to respond to them. |
Jones | Drilling IP As The Caller | When we call preflop outside the blinds, then in heads-up pots we'll have the positional advantage. Coach w34z3l explains how to maximize in this scenario. |
Jones | Drilling OOP As The PFR | Many players get lost in pots where they are the preflop aggressor but OOP on the flop. One particular trap is an overly high c-bet frequency, as w34z3l explains. |
Jones | Fine Tuning Float Bets | A float bet occurs when the aggressor from the previous street checks and their opponent bets. Fine-tune your float bets with this video. |
Jones | Fine Tuning Probe Bets | Probe bets are a critical weapon in the arsenal of the OOP player, but with what range and under what circumstances should they be made? |

Jones | Deviate: Introduction | This quick video outlines the content in coach w34z3l's 26-video course "Deviate," that describes exploitative deviations beyond GTO play. |
Jones | Deviate: River Aggression | Using population data and the GTO baseline for a variety of scenarion, w34z3l determines profitable bluff-catching ranges on the river. |
Jones | Deviate: River Aggression: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | Coach w34z3l extends the analysis of the previous video to include pots that were 3-bet or 4-bet preflop. |
Jones | Deviate: River Defense | A comparison of how the player pool is defending relative to the GTO baseline against river aggression reveals overfolding in many situations. |
Jones | Deviate: River Defense: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | The population's tendency to overfold to river aggression persists in 3-bet and 4-bet pots. This opens up the opportunity for exploitative river bluffing. |
Jones | Deviate: Bluff-Catch Variables | Coach w34z3l's analysis of river play continues with a more granular approach, in which a particular focus is placed upon board run-out. |
Jones | Deviate: Bluff Variables | The tendency of the population to overfold to river aggression is broken down by additional variables, thereby identifying particularly profitable bluff spots. |
Jones | Deviate: Versus C-Bet | This and the next two videos analyze how the population responds to c-bets. Comparison to the GTO baseline allows forthe identification of exploits. |
Jones | Deviate: Versus C-Bet Adaptation | The general trends identified in the previous video are now broken down by additional variables, such as positional formation and board textures. |
Jones | Deviate: Versus C-Bet: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | The analysis of how the population is reacting to c-bets is wrapped up by an analysis of tendencies in 3-bet and 4-bet pots. |
Jones | Deviate: C-Bet | Having determined how the player pool is responding to our c-bets, we now turn the tables and analyze the population's c-betting strategy. |
Jones | Deviate: C-Bet versus Raise | While aggressively raising our opponents' c-bets is not generally profitable, there are certain situations that promote exploitative deviations. |
Jones | Deviate: C-Bet: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | Coach w34z3l completes the analysis of how the population is c-betting by looking at pots that were 3-bet or 4-bet preflop. |
Jones | Deviate: Float Flop | This video looks at how the population is float betting, and if our opponents are deviating from GTO in a manner we can exploit. |
Jones | Deviate: Versus Turn C-Bet | An analysis of lines in which the aggressor double barrels reveals that certain flops/turns provide opportunities for exploitative turn play. |
Jones | Deviate: Versus Turn C-Bet: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | The analysis from the previous video is extended to hands in which there was a 3-bet or 4-bet preflop. |
Jones | Deviate: Double/Triple-Barrel HH Examples | The theory from the previous multi-street videos is illustrated with several example hands from online play. |
Jones | Deviate: Turn C-Bet | Coach w34z3l presents the GTO solutions both IP and OOP for turn c-bets, then looks for profitable deviations based on population tendencies. |
Jones | Deviate: Turn C-Bet HH Examples | The dense theory from the previous theory is applied to practical play by using hand history examples with differing board textures. |
Jones | Deviate: Turn C-Bet: 3-Bet/4-Bet Pots | Following the same pattern as in previous videos, the final video on the turn c-bet situation looks at 3-bet and 4-bet pots. |
Jones | Deviate: Float Turn | Progressing to less common betting lines, coach w34z3l turns his attention to exploitative deviations in the float turn scenario. |
Jones | Deviate: Probe Turn | The OOP analogue to the previous video, coach w34z3l analyzes the probe turn scenario and when it opens up profitable river bluff raises. |
Jones | Deviate: Delayed C-Bet Turn | The final branch of the multi-street game tree analyzed in this series involves lines made possible by a delayed c-bet. |
Jones | Deviate: Population Preflop Play | With opening ranges being widely available, one might suppose preflop exploits are limited. Fortunately, even preflop the population deviates from GTO. |
Jones | Deviate: Preflop Commitment Ranges | Our opponents' deviations from GTO preflop play, particularly in multiply-raised pots, means we can exploit them with non-GTO commitment ranges. |
Jones | Deviate: Postflop Commitment Ranges | The preflop population deviations from GTO ranges also lead to exploits in our postflop commitment ranges, as coach w34z3l explains in this video. |
Jones | Deviate: Key Takeaways | With a course of this length and depth, plucking out key takeaways is not easy, but in the final video, coach w34z3l identifies some salient results. |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Player Profiling | If we wish to craft exploits against specific opponents, it follows that we need to understand the quantitative aspects of how they play poker. |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Personality Traits | You may not have thought much about how an opponent's personality traits impact their approach to poker. Here is your opportunity! |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Sizing Tells | The theme of this video is something of a throwback to the classical (pre-solver) era of poker. The recognition that predictable bet-sizing patterns by our opponents can be used to exploit them. |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Preflop Stats | Preflop stats converge much more rapidly than those further down the game tree. This is one reason they are the starting point for deriving player profiles. |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Postflop Stats | With postflop stats converging more slowly than preflop ones, a useful starting point for our postflop analysis are the personality traits described in the second video of this bonus series. |
Jones | Deviate Bonus: Line Comparison | In the final video of this bonus series, coach w34z3l breaks out the solver to analyze multi-street lines. What do we do when population analysis tells us we have two profitable exploits? |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Why 3-Bet? | In this first video of the Red Chip Poker 3-Bet Pots course, coach w34z3l begins by addressing the question: "Why is preflop 3-betting important in no-limit hold'em?" |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Bluff Math | Auto-profit spots are attractive to all poker players. One important takeaway from this video is that our position at the table is critical when making 3-bet auto-profit plays. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Villain Adjustments | How do we deal with opponents who are folding significantly less preflop than theory demands? Coach w34z3l addresses this problem by analyzing player pool data. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Sizing Selection | Coach w34z3l discusses the theoretical basis of 3-bet sizing, and the situational adjustments that must be made in order to optimize the size of our preflop 3-bets. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: BB 3-Bets | Coach w34z3l breaks out the RCP GTO app, using it to analyze 3-betting ranges out of the BB when facing an open raise from each of the positions at a 6-max table. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: SB 3-Bets | This video follows the same approach as the previous one, except that we switch our attention from the BB to the SB. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: IP 3-Bets | Having looked at out-of-position 3-bets from the blinds, we now focus our attention on in-position 3-bets while in BTN, CO or MP when facing an open raise. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Squeezing | This video examines theoretically-correct squeezing ranges, as well as discussing some basic tips for overcalling preflop. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Preflop Practice | We discuss how we can improve our preflop 3-bet frequencies, by providing a practical example of harnessing the power of tracking software to analyze our preflop tendencies. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Textural Awareness | We begin the postflop analysis of 3-bet pots by discussing how 3-betting ranges connect with different flop textures. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Flop Play IP | How we play the flop in 3-bet pots depends on whether we are in or out of position to our opponent. Hence this and the following video break down the two situations separately. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Flop Play OOP | We now present a parallel discussion to the previous video for the case when the preflop 3-bettor is out of position on the flop |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Playing Mid-Strength | The remainder of the course turns the theory from earlier into practice by illustrating the principles through hand examples. We begin with mid-strength hands. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Playing Bluffs | Continuing with postflop play, coach w34z3l analyzes example hands where we have nothing on the flop and still have nothing by the river. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Playing Value | This video follows the same pattern as the previous one, except we are now in the happy position that we actually have a value hand at some point in the postflop play. |
Jones | 3-Bet Pots: Getting Started | In this final video of the Red Chip Poker 3-Bet Pots course, coach w34z3l recaps the most important concepts covered. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Introduction | An overview of the Mix It Up course that follows. Underutlized lines that you can add to your arsenal are viewed through a game-theoretical lens. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Donk Bet Flop | In this first of three lessons on donk betting, w34z3l looks at the conditions that motivate us to donk bet the flop. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Donk Bet Turn | The opportunity to donk bet turn arises when the preflop caller is OOP, and the flop action went check-bet-call. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Donk Bet River | After the flop and turn go check-bet-call, the preflop caller can donk river. Coach w34z3l explains when to use the play. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Flop Microbet | A microbet is defined as a bet size of 20% pot or less. This video describes when such a bet is appropriate and profitable on the flop. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Flop Overbet | C-betting more than pot on the flop is something many players never do. Find out why you should in this video. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Flop Overbet Shove | Extending the ideas of the previous lesson, this video explores situations in which a flop overbet shove can be the preferred play. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Turn Overbet Shove | On certain turn cards, your most profitable move may be the turn overbet shove. Coach w34z3l explains when to unleash this play. |
Jones | Mix It Up: River Underbet | The donk river lesson noted that such bets are often undersized, but this video looks at the situation in which we are the aggressor throughout. |
Jones | Mix It Up: 4-Bet Jam Preflop | At 100bb depth, a preflop 4-bet jam is conventionally regarded as "too large." But it is another rare play that can be used profitably. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Min 5-Bet Preflop | 5-betting pre at 100bb is conventionally made as a jam. But a min 5-bet, while violating a poker rule of thumb, can be used in some scenarios. |
Jones | Mix It Up: River 2-Bet Bluff | Bluff-raising the river is a rare play, particularly in live, low-stakes games. This video explains the conditions under which it should be made. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Delayed Check-Raise | A delayed check-raise is defined as a check-raise of a delayed c-bet. Most players miss opportunities down this low-frequency part of the game tree. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Flop Raise, 3-Bet Pot | Population analysis reveals c-bets in 3-bet pots are rarely raised. This video explores why that is, and when they should be. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Flop Raise, 4-Bet Pot | In a 4-bet pot, a flop raise is invariably all in. This creates a surprising difference from the 3-bet pots discussed in the previous video. |
Jones | Mix It Up: Key Takeaways | Coach w34z3l summarizes the key points of the course, a big one being that using rare lines can bamboozle your opponents. |
