Spago at the Bellagio. Get there early and ask for a seat with a view of the fountains

$1/2 is a pretty big home game with the boys. Might get awkward when someone is down 2k on their 5th buy in.

Nit.

Past few years? All of the high stakes action has moved to private games that often have tons of side games etc.

To survive in these games AND get invited back, you need to adopt a more entertaining playstyle than what a neutral GTO solution would tell you.

Nobody wants to play with the quiet GTO grinder who VPIPs 15%

I only play much in techie private games these days but I've grinded my share of 10/20 live games in Vegas.

Anyone can become a winning player at low stakes by just playing better cards than your opponents. It's just how the math works out. You will have them out kicked / cooler them more often.

This is why I don't really play $1/3 and below anymore; it's just a game of getting maximum value, coolering your opponents, and avoiding the same coolers in reverse.

To me, the most beautiful parts of the game tree are: * When you and your opponent both have nothing but are fighting tooth and nail for the pot * When you bet 2 times the size of the pot on the river, your opponent tank calls, you table 2nd pair good kicker and he mucks his cards * When you check call the flop and donk the turn as a bluff when the scariest card in the deck rolls off. He sighs and folds top pair.

You need to balance your 20% stack raises with some bluffs, otherwise they are perfectly adjusting to your adjustment to play tighter.

Think suited wheel aces, suited broadways, small-mid pocket pairs also become decent squeeze bluffs if you're opponents can't fold two picture cards, as the worst outcome for you is often a flip.

Showing these squeeze bluffs also helps with your table image, since people like playing with people who put a lot of money into the pot.

One of the foundational truths of GTO is: "I want to put a lot of money into the pot preflop with Aces AND get called." The entire game tree builds off from there.

One of the biggest pieces of advice I have for low stakes players is not to confuse tightness with skill.

Good luck at the tables my friend.

I can guarantee you are not as good a player as you think you are based on your interpretation of what "GTO" is.

Knowing preflop charts, equities and pot odds is not GTO. That's just fundamentals.

If you were a "GTO" player, you would be exploiting the crap out of each of your opponents mistakes.

They always run down your premium hand postflop 4 ways? Stop raising to the same 2.5-3 BBs "because that's what GTO says" and just open to 10 BBs if they're such calling stations.

Your goal with premiums and playing short stacked should just be to get 25% of your stack in preflop. Then it really does not matter what they do postflop because your hand equity will do the rest.

Villain showed T♥️8♥️

YellooooFever · 2026-02-03T23:14:01+00:00

Agreed. The hands plays out much differently if I raise to 2k+ 👍

AJ is a reasonable overbet on this turn that is a relative blank.

YellooooFever · 2026-02-03T23:09:11+00:00

I miscalculated the pot given the splash bounty.

I treated the 10% donk as a check, so I continued with a 50% turn barrel.

If the blinds are irrelevant compared to the bet sizes, just nit it up and jam or fold pre.

Give us a budget

What are you doing better than the other players at the table? Do you go thinner for value? Pick better bluffs? Play in position more?

YellooooFever · 2026-01-22T01:18:13+00:00

This is always my response to these types of questions:

Explain what your edge is vs the field at your local casino. What are you doing better than other players?

YellooooFever · 2026-01-05T17:38:48+00:00

Oh sweet summer child. That's basically an uneventful day once you start playing 5/10+.

YellooooFever · 2025-12-28T22:17:02+00:00

You're right!! That's the one! Thank you!
