Poker Study: The Formations That Matter Most · S8E17 Aug 18, 2026 25:37 Most #poker players acknowledge that the more you study the better your results become.

Befuddling Your Opponents With Micro Bets · S8E16 Aug 4, 2026 25:02 Do you tend to use a limited number of bet sizes in your strategy?

The Fundamentals Of Heads-Up Hold'em · S8E15 Jul 21, 2026 30:03 Many #poker players regard heads-up play as the purest form of the game.

The one-on-one nature also means your skill edge is magnified leading to high win-rates.   This podcast episode gives a comprehensive overview of all the skills required to succeed in he
Poker As A Business: Managing Time And Costs · S8E14
Poker As A Business: Managing Time And Costs · S8E14 Jul 7, 2026 29:23 If you play #poker to make money, you have more to manage than your bankroll. To get better at the game, you need to study.

Grinding Poker In A Rec-Friendly Environment · S8E13
Grinding Poker In A Rec-Friendly Environment · S8E13 Jun 23, 2026 28:04 Online #poker is a very different beast to twenty years ago. Essentially all poker sites have taken the decision to clip the wings of the professional grinder, ostensibly to encourage the survival of recreational players. Table caps, minimal rake back, and HUD restrictions require the pros to make concessions.   In this episode of the podcast, coach w34z3l discusses how the online grinder can n
Realistic Expectations For Your Poker Decisions · S8E12
Realistic Expectations For Your Poker Decisions · S8E12 Jun 9, 2026 22:06 Any #poker session you play can be thought of as a series of decisions. The "correct" decision in any spot, such as whether to bet and how much, in principle has an objectively-correct answer. This has some players erroneously seeking perfection.   In the real world, the information you use to make each decision contains uncertainty. You simply do not know the precise range of your opponent, an
Poker Tips From LLMs: How Bad Are They? · S8E11
Poker Tips From LLMs: How Bad Are They? · S8E11 May 26, 2026 26:16 An increasing number of people rely on ChatGPT summaries to explain complex topics. Is this a good idea if you're looking for tactical and strategic information about #poker? This fun episode of the podcast explores the question.   As you may have found in other disciplines, one of the problems with relying on any LLM is that the accuracy of the information they return can be extremely unpredic
Live Poker Tells: Reading Your Opponents · S8E10
Live Poker Tells: Reading Your Opponents · S8E10 May 12, 2026 26:16 Hollywood promotes the notion that top players "read" their opponents from their body language, or their unique method of eating Oreo cookies. But do such live tells have any place in today's mathematical game of #poker?   In this episode, coach w34z3l gives an overview of how your opponents may leak information that you can use to beat them. Equally important, we discuss how you can prevent ot
Surviving The Variance Of Live Poker · S8E9
Surviving The Variance Of Live Poker · S8E9 Apr 28, 2026 22:05 The element of luck in #poker means that weak players can having winning sessions and strong ones can go on extended downswings. One can argue that this variance is necessary for the game to survive at all, since without it donators would quickly drop the game.   Appreciating how extreme poker variance can be is important for two reasons. First, understanding that downswings are a feature of th
Does The Block Bet Have A Place In Modern Poker? · S8E8
Does The Block Bet Have A Place In Modern Poker? · S8E8 Apr 14, 2026 19:53 The block bet is a play from the pre-solver era of #poker which many players view with suspicion. Making a small bet in the hope of avoiding a much larger one from an opponent certainly lacks a firm theoretical basis. Like many classic plays, however, modern theory reveals that there is a place for the block bet in today's game. While the rationale is rather different, the old block bet has expe

Ranging Analysis: When It Is And Is Not Useful · S8E7 Mar 31, 2026 21:47 Much of modern #poker strategy revolves around the battle between poker ranges; our own and that of our opponent. But is ranging always the best approach to reaching a decision, particularly since our opponent's range is at best a guess.   In this podcast episode, coach w34z3l looks at strategies that largely ignore traditional ranging. These data-driven approaches are based on how our opponents p

Resilience and Optimization: Winning Poker's Mental Game · S8E6 Mar 17, 2026 24:45 Do you equate the mental game of #poker with tilt avoidance? Then this episode of the podcast will be a huge eye-opener. Sure mental resilience is a critical part of playing winning poker, but there are many other edges you can develop through mindfulness. Directed study moves more concepts into unconscious competence, making decisions faster and more accurate. Creating a flow state will optimize
