The Official Red Chip Poker Podcast

Understanding and incorporating the Independent Chip Model (ICM) is critical for tournament success. From preflop push-fold ranges to stack preservation, ICM guides most late-stage MTT decisions.

We never know our opponent's range down to the last combo, but we do need to be able to discuss and differentiate the structure of their ranges. Understanding range terminology will allow you to understand such discussions, while deepening your appreciation of this cornerstone of no-limit hold'em. Polarized, merged, condensed, and other types of ranges get a full explanation in this episode. *LINKS* Ranges 101: https://redchippoker.com/range-arrangement-podcast/ Understanding 3-Bet Ranges: https://www.splitsuit.com/poker-ranges-reading Pseudo Balance Episode (S6E1): https://redchippoker.com/pseudo-balance-podcast/ How To Build Poker Ranges: https://www.splitsuit.com/how-to-build-poker-ranges-with-example *JOIN US ON DISCORD* Join our free poker Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord

Your red line looks at all wins and losses in pots that did not go to showdown. Lengthy online discussions suggest some players have a borderline obsession with the slope of this line, and are searching for strategies that will modify it. This podcast episode explores the significance of the red line, how you can modify its slope, and whether you should bother. *LINKS* Perfect GTO Bluffs: https://www.splitsuit.com/perfect-gto-bluffing GTO Gems (Official Book Site): https://redchippoker.com/gto-gems-book Mixed Strategies 101: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hfW2dlhuDs&feature=youtu.be The Red Line And Poker Graphs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=L51XKzeC1cKAJ7Rd&v=G20m7xMNARs&feature=youtu.be Join Us For Season 7 in CORE/PRO: https://redchippoker.com/ *JOIN US ON DISCORD* Join our free poker Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord

In the debut episode of Season 6 of the Red Chip Poker podcast, coach w34z3l discusses the concept of "pseudo balance." But what if your opponent strays far from GTO lines? Bluffing with a GTO frequency into someone who never folds, for example, is clearly an error. Enter pseudo balance. A partial but non-GTO form of balance perfect for practical play.
