June 06, 2024 Episode 20 - When Should You Never Jam The River?
Join Jon and Tain this week as we take a long hard pause to look at the many reasons why jamming the river is a bad idea in some spots, and a couple of fanciful ideas as to why it might not be so bad.

March 06, 2024 Episode 19 - Thin Value on the River with ATo on the Button
Jon & [The] Tain analyse a poker hand from deep in a multi table tournament against a passive villain who is calling too light.

How often does the villain get to the river with a better hand than our hero? Will worse hands call a bigger bet on the river?

February 28, 2024 Episode 18 - Constructing a Balanced Range + Giving Every Hand a Purpose
A pure poker theory episode from Jon and [The] Tain as they work to understand how a solver builds a perfectly balanced game theory optimum (GTO) opening range.

Every hand in a GTO range has a purpose, and trying to grasp this fundamental purpose will hopefully allow our two heroes to adjust and adapt their exploitative play in the correct way that maximises their EV.

Can you tell the difference between a medium strength single raise calling hand from a 3-bet-and-give-up raising hand?

February 21, 2024 Episode 17 - Awful Button Play - J3o on the Button
We join Jon & [The] Tain as they discuss why solid opening ranges are important, and how Jack-3 off-suit (J3o) should never be a part of that.

Can Tain save the hand on later streets, or is a ropey opening hand always going to be doomed to failure? Can we ever steal with J3o on the button exploitatively when playing at these microstakes? Or does poker need a threshold for opening hand value if we want to remain profitable?

How much worse can things get?

February 16, 2024 Episode 16 - Playing Top Pair Out of Position in a Multiway Pot - 98s in the BB
[The] Jon and [The] Tain get to grips with playing top pair on a dynamic board from out of position in a multiway pot. How passively should you play when the board is in your favour and the villains are betting and calling for you?
We explore how players cap their ranges at low-stakes MTTs, and the best way to exploit that when there is also a strong need to protect your hand.
