Chasing Poker Greatness

One of our more interesting and instructive episodes in recent memory pertained to equity calculation and range construction when facing all-ins. If you're a poker player struggling with the mathematical side of things, this episode is for you! To everyone else, don't worry -- if you're only here for degenerate flush draws and high card floats I'm sure we will be back to normal next week.

Join us for Tactical Tuesday 137 and be sure to leave a review to help us fool the algorithms.

Position is everything in Poker, also known by its full, formal name: No Limit Texas Hold Them. But when you're playing the game at a positional disadvantage, it can be hard to extract full value in spots where you have good hands. What hands should you check and trap? What situations call for an overbet to hope to get bluffcaught? These questions and more are explored on Tactical Tuesday 136!

Also -- we've received requests in Greatness Village to upload the full hand breakdown, and that request will be honored immediately, starting... in the coming weeks! This and many more improvements are coming to Tactical Tuesday. Stay tuned for the revamp!

Tactical Tuesday is cleaning up its "bad boy" image this week and we're trying to come up with newer, more respectful ways to refer to unstudied, instinctual poker players who are not as good at poker as Jon Chai.

I said "trying" to come up with newer terms, correct? Because while we tried, we failed. They just do so many fishy things! There's no better way to describe it, so we're done trying.

Jon has brought 3 hands this week, and they just so happen to be multiway pots against fish in our favorite game: No Limit Texas Holdem. Join us for Tactical Tuesday 135!

Jon is back this week with hands from the poker database (4, which is always nice), and unsurprisingly, many of them contain river raises. While he would obviously love to jam all-in at all times, upon analysis, he does at least admit that there is a subtle art to choosing the right river sizing to get the desired result.

Coach Brad is ready for the challenge of unraveling Jon's thought process to find the best retrospective path toward effective river raising.

Join us for Tactical Tuesday 134!

Fresh off of playing large pots with pocket nines, Jon has learned the error of his ways and returns this week to play even larger pots with... pocket fours?? And... he's doing it mUlTiWaY?? AND!! IN LIVE BOMB POTS!!???

Looks like we're going off the rails on this fours-ey train for Tactical Tuesday 133. Let's see how much money Jon... wins?

Middle pocket pairs are somewhat of an imperfect science in the never-frustrating game of No Limit Texas Holdem. Pocket Nines are specifically right on that borderline of a great starting hand preflop, but... how them nines look after all 5 community cards come out?

Jon's back this week with just such situations for our collective poker study -- three of them, to be exact. While he's still in recovery from his flush draw addiction, he's decided to at least focus on things that are real and have showdown value this week. Whether or not he will resist overplaying them... well, you'll just have to find out in the episode. It's Tactical Tuesday 132...

The first step toward solving a problem is admitting that you have one. We don't know when it got out of control, or why we didn't stage an intervention sooner, but Jon and his flush draw fetish have finally reached a breaking point. We've since taken away the keys to his Ignition (account) and forced him to seek help for this addiction. Please help us help Jon in Tactical Tuesday 131...

"Ace King is just a drawing hand" they said... but WTF does that even mean? And try telling that to a Fish.

Jon is back this week, desperately pleading with Coach Brad to help him off the ledge as he finds himself playing for stacks with everyone's favorite Ace High hand. Should he have folded preflop? Should he call down when things go sideways? Are we supposed to answer a question with a question? Anything goes in Tactical Tuesday 130.

In celebration of the launch of CPG's Live Cash Preflop Bootcamp, Tactical Tuesday is all about live cash poker this week... Decidedly high stakes live cash poker... for (in Dr. Evil's voice) one MILLION dollars.

Hustler Casino Live played host to quite the hand recently, featuring live cash poker legends Tom Dwan and Doug Polk. Having played a little bit of live cash poker themselves, Coach Brad and Jon Chai weigh in with their thoughts on how it all went down.

It's a bit of a different format this week, and we're not going to apologize for it. Strap in for high stakes and hot takes in Tactical Tuesday 129!

We've finally found an offramp from value betting month here at Chasing Poker Greatness, but is it possible that Jon's only transitioning to bluffcatching mode because it's an even thinner way to battle for stacks in the online cash poker streets?

With 3 hands to review, does Coach Brad go 3/3 in disagreeing with Jon's decisions to bluff catch for many online dollars? Let's catch around and find out in Tactical Tuesday 128!
