Last week the boys reviewed 4-Bet pots in a loose configuration (blind vs. blind), and now we're doing the same, but better! I think? It's 4-Bet pots in a TIGHT configuration, as Jon has submitted to the jury for consideration his early position 4-Bet hands to see if Coach Brad approves or disapproves of his life choices.

Jon's battling it out in the live cash game streets in sunny Las Vegas, and he's developed a love affair for Ace Queen lately (flopping a full house will do that) that's he's bringing to the Tactical Tuesday show for review with poker pro Coach Brad Wilson.

We're all well aware of Jon Chai's flush draw addiction and thin value shenanigans. But what about maximizing positional advantage when playing from the button? Does he know when to set the trap when he's ahead, and apply enough pressure to take down the pot when he's behind?

Poker coach and mentor Brad Wilson has high praise for Jon in today's poker strategy episode, in which he declares to the poker world that Jon is his most winn...

"One of the unconquered frontiers of No Limit Holdem" is probably the best way to describe multiway spots in online poker. Poker pro Jon Chai's words ring true, as we discover on this week's episode.

Yes, the title of this week's Tactical Tuesday poker strategy show contains an intentional misnomer. And that is because, in all of poker's 3-bet pots, there is not a single "Number 1" toughest spot -- there are multiple spots that are equally tough, and many of them are frequent occurrences, as poker pro Jon Chai has arrived to tell us.

It's easy to flop sets in No Limit Texas Holdem Poker when your name is Jon Chai. All you have to do is buy into a Fast Fold 500NL game and the virtual chips drop from the sky into your stack.

None of the above is factually accurate, but in the rare instance that you do flop a set in No Limit Texas Holdem, the next two cards to come can have a pretty big impact on whether you find yourself holding a clear value hand, or surprisingly...

So we've got a good starting hand preflop. Something like Ace Jack suited or the sexy Ace King suited. Worthy of a 3-bet, no doubt, but it's still not a pair. We play our hand the best we can, but what happens when a 3-bet pot becomes a 3-bet problem?

The first step toward solving a problem is admitting you have one. While poker pro Jon Chai is still trying to make progress in his daily Flush Draws Anonymous meetings, his problems i...

So you're playing No Limit Texas Holdem and your "one time" finally happens. For the first time in the last 48 months of grinding, you flop a set. You've already booked an AirBnB during peak season in Valuetown.

But then the turn and river come out, shifting those pesky equities and changing the nuts out on us when we were so cozy and warm on the flop. We have a good hand, but when -- and maybe even "should" -- we raise? Are we alwa...

They say most of your money is saved preflop. Or maybe we just made that up. But where is most of the money made? Well, naturally that's going to be in the spots where the pots are largest and the leverage is larger-est. We're talking about the old man river, friends. How do we get value when we want it? How do we get folds when we need them? How to trap, how to de...
