What does a turn lead actually mean? Most players don't understand this concept. And that’s exactly where they lose money. Here’s the correct way to respond to a turn lead 👇

The poker industry is especially brutal, and there are 4 cardinal rules that nobody is immune from breaking; or you will go broke. In order of importance: 1: Bankroll Management 2: Game Selection 3: Constant Improvement 4: Volume Variance comes for us all, and it is long.

You’re playing 50bb deep, 8-handed in an MTT (bb ante). You open to 2.2bbs from UTG+1 with A♥️9♥️, and the CO calls. Flop: A♣️K♥️Q♦️ What should you do and why? 👇 Explain your thought process below! Follow @peakgto for the breakdown! 🔥

Sun run continues!

Against a competent opponent, this is a clear jam. AJ with a ♦️ still has strong equity, and the BB’s check-raising range should be wide here — not just nutted hands. If we only call, a ton of turns (2/4/6/♦️/7/8/9/T) put us in a tough spot facing another barrel with very little clarity. And even when the BB does have a 3, they’re in a pretty uncomfortable spot versus a jam. Follow @peakgto for more elite hand breakdowns 🔥

Raise to 4.7bbs. When facing aggression, focus on two things: check-raise frequency and check-raise size. Get those right first, and the rest of the strategy becomes much clearer. 👇 On monotone boards, you almost always want to use a small check-raise size because your premium hands don’t need much protection. Our range also check-raises less often here since we don’t have a clear nut advantage versus the LJ range. From there, range construction comes down to “gapping.” With so many possible flush combos, you need to decide which hands call and which raise. The bigger the gap between your cards — like K♠2♠ — the more that hand wants to check-raise. Why? Because wider gaps leave more strong flush combinations available in your opponent’s range. If we held K♠J♠, for example, we’d block all J♠ combos they could have. Let us know if you have any questions. And remember to follow @peakgto for more elite level poker breakdowns. 🔥🔥
