JNandez Poker Podcast

This episode comes from the Week 7 finale of the PLO Mastermind's 10-Week PLO Transformation. Playing and improving at poker requires not just time, but time well spent. In this podcast, we'll cover my top ten tips on how to improve your focus and energy levels so that you are able to consistently work on your strategy and play your A-game.

I was glad to be joined by Leszek Badurowicz for this podcast, where we discussed a variety of topics from beginning in poker, to the rarely spoken about dark sides of Poker.

Fernando talks about his recent work into the mental game and poker performance, and shares his thoughts on how to play longer hours at the table with higher focus.

This episode starts off with a discussion on cold-calling vs 3-betting in live PLO games as a way to isolate players and play less multiway pots. JNandez talks about how then to think about your range postflop, not simply your hand. What should the thought process be like on the flop? We'll look at three different boards and consider how we could play our hand given the main questions we ask ourselves. Then we have to estimate what the GTO solution could be, and finally adjust to our actual opponent. We'll also talk about how to exploit players without leading ranges and why we should consider leading ourselves, especially in multiway pots.

This episode was produced from June-July 2018 PLO Mastermind Q&A livestreams and covers valuable topics such as how to approach balancing life and poker, how your edge in the game can help you deal with variance, and how to think correctly and strategically about equity and expected value.
