Jonathan Little's Weekly Poker Hand: Interesting Spot with Pocket Aces
Poker pro and coach Jonathan Little has been producing a wide variety of strategy content for poker players for some time, including authoring multiple books and sharing videos and articles on his website and elsewhere, much of which is free to players of all levels seeking to improve their games.
Little started his popular "Weekly Poker Hand" series on YouTube several years ago, and recently he decided to switch up the format to begin featuring footage from live small- and medium-stakes cash games.
In the episode shown below, Little returns to discuss a hand from a $5/$10 no-limit hold'em cash game played at Stones Gambling Hall in California.
This one features Steve Gee, a player some may remember for having made multiple deep runs in the World Series of Poker Main Event (9th in 2012, 24th in 2013). In the hand Gee faces an interesting spot with pocket aces when after an eight-high coordinated flop he continuation bet then gets min-raised.
Some of the concepts discussed in the hand analysis include:
- starting hand selection
- preflop betting strategy
- value betting
- betting for protection
- semi-bluffing
- bet sizing
