Adam gives Tyrone a little mini-poker lesson. A few interesting concepts are discussed solo and then Adam goes over hand histories from an actual student to reveal how he thinks about real-life poker situations as they come up at the table. Enjoy!
00:00 — Intro. Tyrone still has poker on the brain! And Adam is still shamelessly plugging his services as a poker coach.
03:27 — Warning: This conversation isn't for rank beginners. We dive into some deeper concepts to give people a taste of how rich and fascinating this game can be.
06:21 — First topic: When and how to defend your blinds in No Limit Hold'em. Along the way, Tyrone gives his strategy for always finishing 2nd in any poker tournament!
11:46 — Second topic: What are "fold points"? Know what yours are, and even more importantly, recognize what your opponents' are.
15:34 — Third topic: What are the big strategic differences between cash games and tournaments?
18:04 — Hand analysis #1: Playing a pair of pocket jacks out of position. Also, what does "effective stack size" mean?
35:04 — Hand analysis #2: Playing 9-7 off-suit from the small blind. Pot odds, implied odds, and playing drawing hands out of position — hint: don't.
47:23 — Hand analysis #3: When having three aces isn't as great as you'd think. Plus, perceived weakness, value-betting, and the definition of "a set".
62:28 — Outro — and another shameless plug!
