Yes, it's another episode on theme for value betting month at CPG. But this time it's with a twist -- Jon's been in the lab digging deeper into the data... mixing chemicals in beakers and doing things with Bunson burners and he's emerged from these possibly unethical experiments with the discovery of a new weapon for his arsenal that he's been irresponsibly deploying out in the field: the fabled Bet / Check / Bet value bet line.Does Coach Brad approve? Does he ever? These questions and more in Tactical Tuesday 127.As a reminder, we've partnered with GTO Wizard, where you can start learning for...

Jumping back and forth from dimension to dimension isn’t easy on a man’s mental state. After months in the cushy, money-printing live cash streets of Las Vegas, Jon Chai has foolishly navigated back to the lawless, degenerate, soulless pit of online poker and it’s been... very hard to keep sane in this new harsh reality.And so we’ve called in our last hope, Witch Doctor Coach Brad Wilson, to do dive into Jon’s inner fearscape, and perform a sanity check on these fever dream hands that he’s been repeating hypnotically in the corner of a padded cell.Please send help. It’s Tactical ...

Four liners to a straight... it's the stuff of nightmares when you're the type of insane asylum escapee who calls large river bets from a "reg" with a flopped bottom pair in a 4-Bet pot.Yes, we're talking about poker pro Jon Chai and his epic quest to bluffcatch every villain on God's green earth with the slimmest of holdings. We've got 3 hands this week after a brief hiatus last week... are we going to reset the clock and set it back to ZERO days without incident?

The CPG podcast has returned for an interview with ACR Team Pro and Twitch streamer Michael Loncar, and what a story he has to tell. From the humble beginnings of playing on his dad’s online account before the Moneymaker boom, to dropping out of college to play poker full-time and live the cliché of winning at the tables and blowing it all the same night… it’s a tour de force of bankroll mismanagement.Michael shares his Black Friday Plan B story with us, with a divorce sprinkled in the middle and how it affected his poker and personal life. And Porsches. So many Porsches.All of this to ...

The Stand Up Game... Where did it come from? Why is it a thing? The answers to those questions don’t matter, but the strategy behind playing it sure does. We didn’t aim to release the first Stand Up Game strategy guide, but it’s possible we just did?Jon somehow got himself into a very interesting spot where he was heads up with the last remaining “stander”, and things get complicated right quick when there’s different incentives for pushing equity in a pot with the bounty hanging overhead.What’s the fastest way to sit down in the Stand Up Game? How hard should you protect your ...

Donk bets…. A scourge to online poker, and to humanity as a whole. What motivates a Fish and/or Reg to dabble in these dark arts? We’ll, we don’t really know. Frankly we don’t want to know. It’s a market we can do without.But what we do know is the data behind donk bets.
