Cash Game Concepts - A Little Coffee with Jonathan Little, 12/23/2019

a repeat goes to show its lasting value

Which are better bounty tournament or normal tournaments

A little coffee and an hour drive to the card room? LFG

If I am a Premium member, does it cover the concepts in your books as well, or do I need the books also?

Beautiful cash how to play against drunks ?

Amazing content 👏

I personally rarely tip for winning a hand. But I do tip dealers who are quick, clear, communicative, get their levels of banter just right.


I do tip waiters / waitresses, helps with quick service and as the drinks are free I am happy to pay less than I would in a pub / Starbucks.

Capuchino so cute 😍

Live is waaaaayyyyyyyy softer than online forsure

chouisauunte

Is Indica or Sativa best for tournament play?

The House is beating the game...

I want to sit with the Bellagio nits and press tiny edges for thousands of hours! I want to wander in the desert and become isolated and depressed! This would make me a professional and then I would have a nice car at age 45, but no family and a terrible view of human nature and crippling mental illness. Eyes on the prize!

lol, complains about the rake being too high on one hand, yet also refuses to tip dealer when you win a high-hand or a bonus....

Just lost $225 at 1/2. I THINK I am a decent enough player but can a good player lose that much at $225 or is that something that should NEVER happen?

so cute

I’m sure you’ll tip if the waitress brings you a drink but not a slot attendant if she brings you 3,000. You have money, be kind to someone maybe a dealer.

Teach Berkey Capitalism.
He is uninformed.

High hands really do mess with the games.

You should tip the dealer like 10% because it's kind of like Christmas when you give a bad.
That's my opinion.
That's coming from a dealer's point of view.
It's a lot of fun players that are playing the games that are taking for a jackpot. Celebrity a little throw some money.

I agree a buck is enough for a tip

If I bet your wife is ugly AF but still too hot for you.. what are the odds here?

Some people seem to be being critical of Jonathan for 'only' tipping a dollar for each hand he wins. Bart Hanson has been far more explicit about this. Tips , rake and other casino costs can wreck a pro players win rate. If you're an amateur and you feel like treating the dealers, noone is stopping you BUT just add up howany pots you win a year in a casino and subtract anything over a $ from your win rate and you'll likely not make much as a pro.

Glad to hear you think Live Cash Games is still pretty relevant as I have it!

Home game with rake? Gtfo

Your son speaks better french than I do! hahaha

thanks for the video mang

2.5-5% on bad beat is customary, Mr. Little. Why u hate dealers.

Yea, rake is illegal in Texas and I am glade to pay $12hr for a $2/$5 cash seat. No rake!!

My game is getting so much better. Not only because of JL, but those of us who put in the time to get better, usually do

Here's the thing. If you play 1/2-2/5 range the HH jackpot makes the bad players play way worse than normal. I always played specifically 1/2 if they had a good HH jackpot bc some degen is gonna put in $100 to try to hit a runner runner straight flush draw and fold when they miss. It was absolutely magical. Some of the loosest bingo tables I've ever played. I gladly payed the extra dollar.

Listened to you for years and bought many of your audiobooks. Was a fan until I heard your opinion on tipping.

I find it difficult to adjust to a fishy 1/2 game after regularly playing 2/5, 5/5 and 5/5/10 with tables full of regs. It takes me a couple of hours sometimes. It’s a bad idea to go down I. Stakes, bc it dumbs down your game.

Very well spoken little fella. A little Little. lol (Oohh someone had to say it)

The majority of players are suckers, sheep, and some addicts, who will all take whatever the poker room wants to charge them rather than using their collective power to force poker room to take only a fair and reasonable rake. Then rooms take say $1 for bad beat jackpot and $1 for promos like seat drawings. All of which is taxable, so players give their money only to have it given back to a small few but who also now have to pay state and fed taxes.

Back when I played a lot more than I do now, I did the math on how many bad beat drops I paid. I estimated that in a few years as a regular rec player I had paid $8K in $1 drops based on some assumptions around hours played and number of pots won per hour. I was a marginally losing player who could have been a marginally winning player without just the bad beat drop. Never did catch a piece of a bad beat.

Tip your dealers or you won’t have dealers and won’t have a game.

Awesome video, THANK YOU.

James and I have the same birthday! Christmas Eve baby!

you get a lot of rest when you're playin in big tourneys..

If the dealer is paying attention and controlling the table, I tip well. If the dealer is talking , looking elsewhere, etc…, I don’t tip sh!t

The old free computer and buy-in scam.

Thats such a common story in the Poker world. I have heard several others with the same story. Bought my buddy a laptop so they can get in on online poker, promised to pay me back... they never did either thing they said they would and kinda just stopped coming around. 😂

Its why I don't lend money to friends. My buddy in college bunmed 100 bucks, said they would get me back their nexr check. The next check was small and bills were due so they said 2 weeks... and then they stopped coming around. It wasn't cus he tried to rip me off, he said he felt bad and didn't wanna hang out til he could pay me cus it was awkward and he felt like a jerk.
But then he also bought a Sega Dreamcast and some games, and had money for the bar before paying me back... that was the awkward part.

So I broke his thumbs.

Nah JK... I got it back way later. With an extra 20 for the trouble. I never really pressed the issue. My GF was real loud about it cus she loved gossip, so the pressure was still there 😂
