In this video I breakdown how to look at a poker hand using ranges and how that has developed over the years. I no longer only think about my hand vs. my opponents hand, but now look at the ranges of hands we could both have in that spot. I touch briefly on counting combinations and their importance in determining ranges. Finally, I talk about how blocker's change the possible combinations an opponent could have. Coming soon we'll release some live hands I recently played and dissect the ranges.

  • I misread the title, I read it as "Poker Rages Explained". I was looking for you to explain Mike Matusow & Phil Hellmuth. Might have been a good video.
  • You taught me at 17 when I began studying Small Ball. It overhauled my game and gave me a $100k net worth in my mid-twenties. Now you're aiding me again in my early 30's. Thank you Sir.

    "I keep it pretty elementary so that you'll understand it" well dammnnn

    I'm relatively new to poker, but I've really gotten into it since watching Daniel. He's really animated and generally happy even if he's losing. He's insane at reading people and calling their hands. I've been in a rut recently trying to develop my skills but had a hard time finding exactly where I'm at to develop from there. This video has really helped me to understand some ideas which may be basic to others, but I now have an idea of where I'm at and where I want to go.

    You should do a MasterClass

    Thanks Daniel for trying to make poker understandable to us mere mortals! Please keep doing vids like this I know others like me really appreciate it.
  • Thanks for this Daniel. I was really big into poker pre-2009 but have not paid attention to it for a long time. You have always been one of my favorite players and this is like having you as a coach!
  • I love how intellectual this game is. I've been watching a bunch of videos of you and it amazes me when you look at someone and practically know their hand.
  • @realkaisser
    Great Explanation of the evolution of poker and ranges, I thing is the best one I have seen so far. I allready knew this stuff but it was hard for me to explain it to somebody. you made it simple. thanks.
  • @Travio247
    And then you play on the internet and the range you're facing is infinite
  • @djshuffl3r
    Daniel help us understand that anything you do in a poker table conveys information
  • @KazuichiYumito
    This guys is a absolute machine, wtf! The speed he splain that perfectly without a break, a cut or a edit. No errors. Just perfect.
  • Super helpful thank you - switch from old school to new school feels quite overwhelming but starting to get my mind around it through videos like this and WSOP vlogs really helps so thank you for taking the time!
  • @Ryan-nh3mt
    Daniel. Great video, you are explaining this perfectly. Keep these more detailed ones coming! The "math side" of poker is the most exhilarating part of the game for me along with taking that risky call or bluff. Keep these quality vids coming!
  • @williamhess3873
    The guy who got me into poker. Just started watching some of the world series plays and you are truly the most fun to watch play. I hope to see more in the future and to watch and learn from your vids!
  • thank you, this video touches on a perspective not addressed by most instructors you make advanced concepts appear simple even though its taken you years to harness your skills you share them in such direct to the point manner that even a novice like my self can grasp the concept so again thank you
  • @pandanation6202
    This is a great video! Please continue this line of thought
  • @MultiChillMusic
    Informative, instructional and intuitive on your part, Daniel. I have been a big fan of how you keenly read people's hands to the letter. I know you don't win everything, but you have a really good insight into the game. I'll look forward to more videos, good sir!
  • Absolutely loved this video... Can't wait for more high end nuanced strategy break down. I'm normally playing with what's my hand Vs what I think theres is, the concept of calculating the ranges the opponent could have and how many card combinations could beat my range is fantastic. I want to get to a higher level of poker can't wait to apply some basic probability and math to my hands.

    Pretty cool Negreanu. You were always one of my favorites and I'm stoked you're continuing to learn and improve like so many others have not.
