  • for real daniel ak is no good ,in deepstacks?ok fine but can you elaborate a lil more ,i mean ak is awesome with 20 bigs vs. 100 bigs

  • Awesome... Lessons from Negreanu. Now I can learn how to lose a few million on high stakes poker.

  • AQ is the best hand its better then AK cuz most flops u will suckout online

  • to be scared playing AK then what is good hand to play with?

  • i disagree he's basically saying be afraid all the time

  • Hardly, AK is the most over rated hand in poker and I tell people all the time not to get their chips in preflop with it, but they don't listen and get busted all the time. Pocket 8s are rated lower in theory, BUT in a heads up situation is LEADING pre-flop. Negreanu knows what he's talking about, just take a look at his boatloads of money.

  • @mbr05c

    Let's suppose your opponent has JJ. What would you rather have - 88 or AK?

  • @Trias88 I would rather fold. If you got it in with either AK or 8s preflop, then you made a bad read. I NEVER get all my chips in preflop with AK or 8s unless my reads have been spot on and the player has been playing a serious loose aggressive game and is trying to take advantage. That doesn't mean I won't call a big raise or 3 bet with AK or 88 to see where I land, but I'm not risking tournament life or my entire cash stack to flip coins or be dominated.

  • @Trias88 obviously ak. your looking to hit 6 outs with ak or two with 88.

  • I dont really like this advise This actually goes against super system Doyle says that he prefers ak over aces/ kings Because aces will be broken But ace king, you miss the flop You just muck In a way i feel that ace king should be played fast paced preflop Because it commits you to the hand Also, if someone calls a raise after a flop of A 9 6 Then he more likely has something like A q, A j, A t, 875432 which will give you a nice payday anyways And if they do happen to flop a 2 pair when you
  • @b112895

    Well, Doyle didn't make much sense in this one. He certainly doesn't play a hand just to muck it on the flop, does he? And if he flops an A or a K he can be outdrawn just as easily (ok, maybe not that easily, because he's got one of the cards that's on the flop, but still).

  • I´m kind of disappointed, because daniel never tell us anything about what he REALLY think is the best way to play in different situations, for instance,, hands like AK and AQ .... the fact that he give you in this video.. is very far from his own "reality" if you watch him play those hands... boring that he won´t reveal what he think is the best possible play in most of his videos (N) pay attention and you will see it too! (Y)

  • @zizou357

    Jeez, there's no ONE-WAY to play any hand. But, he's just giving general advice in a specific context (i.e., deep stack tourneys, where people play more loosely and CAN easily outdraw AQ or AK). For one thing, I may never go all-in preflop with KK again. The one time I did, the guy called & turned over AA, and that was the end of my tourney. So, the lesson to learn from this vid is that you always want to see a flop if you can. I shouldn't have pushed with that KK unless I had too.

  • MY OPINION IS NO CHANCE TO TEACH POKER .ONLY IN THE TABLE U CAN PLAY I MEAN IN THE ACTION U TRY TO DO THE BEST THING

  • and how to play AA? fold or what?

  • @MrPoshlinahui no forfeight and leave

  • @trevdawg62 you mean hide under the table and then run home?

  • @MrPoshlinahui no. check your cards. if you have pocket aces follow these 5 simple steps. 1.) Go all in. 2.)If and ONLY if somebody calls you, Instantaneously fold. Instantaneously. 3.) Realize you just went all in and folded your hand. This usually takes about six seconds of contemplation. 4.) Sprint out of the tournament as fast as humanly possible for your body. 5.) Kill yourself. Trust me it sounds a little weird but it works. They just don't show this version of playing pocket rockets on tv

  • @trevdawg62 See you, in a hell...)

  • @MrPoshlinahui sounds good man. sounds good.

  • @MrPoshlinahui

    Read your opponents before you decide anything. If you go all-in with it and your opponents were dealt crappy cards, you'll have only won some blinds. So, I tend to slow play it to maximize the payoff. Everything always depends, though. Occasionally, I've seen other people get outdrawn with AA. But, you don't have to go all in or fold. You can try to represent a weaker hand by just raising/re-raising in small amounts and by pretending to appear weak & unsure.

  • small ball poker is shit.

  • to me, ak is a typical pre-flop-raise hand that hopes your opponent doesn't hit anything. then you can semi-bluff the shit out of him. other than that, decent hand to call a small-stack all-in. but people have to understand it's not a monsterhand. it's just the best ace high. if you think in those dimensions, anything else than a bad hand. just not nearly in the heights of higher pocketpairs.

  • You can raise with AQ offsuit, just dont call substantial RE raises with it. And if you do, you're going to need more than just an Ace on the flop.

  • i would never let an suitedconnector guy raise my button when i have AQ/AK, suited or not, i would 100% at the time re-raising, with those hands, AQ/AK not strong enough? you got be kidding me

  • I find AK all-in to be very satisfying in the small micro-stakes buy in 27 person "beginner" tournaments which is all I play because I'm a total fish... but now that Bodog is anonymous you sharks will never find me bahahahahahaa

  • It depends on your opponent. It depends on the reads you have. If someones been opening a lot of pots, a 3 bet with AQ/AK is almost expected. However, if a tight opponent raises UTG, depending on position, AQ/AK will almost always be just a call. These videos make sense, if you interpret what they say into real-life situations.

  • he is right, AK has potential but a dangerous flop will end up with you getting absolutely destroyed if theres any more action. you need to raise with it preflop and i think just like pocket jacks, if some1 re raises then they have you dominated with a high pair

  • @brunobcm  Thanks for the support.....you are correct.

  • even today there are still so many donks out there who think the likes of AJ and KQ are good all-in hands, so this isnt the greatest advice ive seen daniel give

  • i totally agree

  • agreed if you are playing nits at the lower levels

  • @DukeBalaor & others: yes your AQ can get cracked but if you have played in casinos and tourneys like I have then you would know that pocket aces can get cracked too, but I would still go all in with them. There are 3 rules for winning tourneys: aggression, aggression, aggression, especially at and after the mid point. And don't be afraid to lose, it happens. Doyle Brunson is the only pro who isn't willing to go all in with AQ. Just saying.

  • Thanks Daniel! ur da best!

  • in poker it alway depend..pay attn to the players find out what they raise and re raise with also depends on the flop and if the check the flop for free cards ..depends on the speed of bets..the slow bets almost always means small pair or draw fast bets mean not lower then Ax suited more likely big pair or big ace..play them like what they are..a big drawing hand..rase enough to get most to fold consider a fold after the flop..depending what happens after the flop

  • meh, I'll stick with super system

  • Comment removed

  • this is all pretty lol imo

  • NOtice the background has a warping effect on the size/shape of his head?

  • @yovanatoru Stu Ungar won the 1981 WSOP with AQ of hearts. It was called a "powerful hand" by the announcer. For those who think poker is different now, remember Stu Ungar made it different by his aggresive play. Good point @Minsheme, but don't be afraid of aggression even without the nuts, or you would be better off staying at home.

  • aha ya fold ak pre idiot

  • ...says the man who lost $300,000 in one hand

  • @Kingpin745 : says the best poker player in the world

  • he looks like something out of an old wrestling game

  • fk daniel .. my AK is a monster

    all in ... no looking back baby

  • sure sure but he himself plays not like we should play. what a s***

  • this must be old , the game has changed now

  • He is spot on, his point is with A K when you hit on the flop, with say an A and make a raise, most guys are going to fold unless they put you on a bluff or they hit a set or 2 pair or a big ace. So you can only make money off the guy who has an A Q or say an A J but the other hands have you beat. So when you get called, it is hard to know what your opponent has. He does not say it is bad to have an A K but goin all in with A K in a deep tournament is a bad move coz eventually you will suck out

  • BS!! how many AK did you fold preflop??

    only good flop than is AAA KKK AAK so better off playing with 2 7.

  • @thebourbonplot

    Yeah what the heck's wrong with his head? lmao

  • @cougher989 Yea......ik right?!

  • @cougher989 He's in front of some sort of digital/green screen it seems . . . the background is taking away the "outline" of his body, so it looks strange

  • Love Daniel, I think he plays great but the way he explains it here seems like an exaggeration to me. If inexperienced players would literally do what he says in this vid they would be laughed with. A lot.

  • Hey, if you wanted to win more money, would you give good free advice on youtube? Way to go Daniel, tell them to fold pocket aces in the next vid.

  • Negreanu is giving advice, but of course you have to see the flop and read the other players a swell. this is what makes a top pro - reading ability.

  • Hellmuth would slap him if he heard how he talked about his beloved AK

  • lol there's a video of negreanu getting wacked with a 300k pot by durrrr where durrrr has AK and makes Aces full and Daniel makes a play with bottom pair. It's not guaranteed that people that put in money after the flop are gonna have you beat, they can have tons of worse aces, middle pairs, draws. This is terrible advice from a really good player, it's true that the best you can do is probably a flip, but you are hardly ever up against AA or KK because of combinatorics..

  • @mindzeye123123 except on pokerstars when I make a move with Ak the other guy always has AA or KK.

  • All these pros make comments on how bad the AQ is. And then if you watch Daniel play on tv he will raise with an AQ or worse. Idon't think the pros will ever tell you the truth about playing poker. Raise with that AQ!

  • @jackritter32 ..You are so right , the reason they don't want you to raise that pot with Ak or AQ is that the any 2 card small ball guys.... wants to see that flop CHEAP also keep the pot small,, Thats why you should NEVER listen to these guys on how to play and what cards you should only play with,,WATCHING them is enough information .

  • Comment removed

  • @jackritter32

    the difference being they can get away from aces up a lot easier then an amatur could, hence why they raise with it, and easily lay it down

  • @DanielScanes you do know that aces up means 2 pair?

  • @jackritter32 Well fucking said, cheers.

  • @jackritter32 That could be from any number of reasons, anything from having position to wanting to gamble, or just knowing the person who's next to act.

  • @jackritter32 AQ is my fav --->> ALL- IN :)

  • @jackritter32 The difference is, Daniel's talking to poker nubs here who couldn't read an opponent's hand if they had x-ray vision.

    Daniel will raise with AQ just like he'll raise with 56 - because Daniel is exceptional at figuring out what his opponent has and using it to his advantage - so even if he misses his hand, he can still outplay them.

    If any standard amateur player makes a raise preflop with AQ and the flop comes 2 5 7 rainbow, they're lost and stuck between bad bluffs and folding.

  • @jackritter32

    "Idon't think the pros will ever tell you the truth about playing poker. Raise with that AQ!"

    Daniel didn't say to not play AQ and he certainly didn't say to limp with it. He said they'll win you pots but you don't want to go all the way with them, unless they substantially improve after the flop of course.

  • @jackritter32 He only give us advices to be carefull with these AK, AQ, not telling us, stop play it. Not raising it. And he is right, I got lot of friends, which easilly can be beat with AQ, AK by my advenced play of suited connectors and then crying. Cause weak player got problem, he can only raising, but can not folding and poker is much more about folding, then raising. My good advice.

  • @DukeBalaor Coming from someone who only plays at home with his buddies.

  • @juice0133 Commin from someone, who is playing only live poker in Casino and sometimes play with his low experienced friends. Does not mattet, who againts you play, only think whic is counting is money, on the end. So I dont care, I will be play anyone, who have them.

  • @jackritter32 actually he says that you SHOULD raise with this type of hand..

  • @jackritter32 sure, but don't call off with it

  • @jackritter32 Raising AQ, or any worse, is on final levels a good movement, and thats what the TV shows, the final levels, or final table most times. But QA on a cash table, or at the begining of a tournament, it's as dangerous as Daniels says on this video. There's a lot of ways, Pro players tell us one we can trust too.

  • @jackritter32

    I thought the same!

    Its amazing.....they'd go all in with AK/AQ and talk this shit!

  • @jackritter32 What Daniel is refering to with playin AK/AQ is in the early-middle stages of a deep stack tourney. What you see on TV is usually the end of tourneys where everyones around 20BB stage or cash games where that is a totally differnent ball game altogether. If u play micro-low stake tourney's u'll see a lot of players overratin AK/AQ n shovin with that. The higher the stakes u play the less common those occurances will be

  • @jackritter32 I'm just throwing this out there but I think that Daniel has a little more experience playing, yes against bad people AQ is a great hand against solid players its only going to cost you money

  • @jackritter32 The poker you see on TV is highlight poker, poker games go for hours and hours, how do you expect to know the whole game in a 30 minute show?

  • @jackritter32 He did say to raise with AQ but don't put all your money in cos anything can happen post flop. You don't want to just check or call cos you're giving people a free flop.

    When these guys are playing live they aren't just playing by the rule book because it's too predictable, they're reading the other players and reading the game.

  • @jackritter32 he said nothing about not to raise with AQ, he only said AQ could be a problem hand, just be careful with this hand

  • @jackritter32 you also have to take into consideration the enviroment your in at that moment. Say your playing Gus Hansen, a loose player who is known to play just about any two cards, you have AQ or AK, you take what you know and go from there. If your playing a tight player and they call or raise, then you might want to be a little more wary. It's not only about the hole cards, and your community board, it's also reading the player and knowing their tendencies. Hope it helps :)

  • Yes, AQ is a dog pile. Called an all-in with AQhh, was up against K2os. Flop is x,2,2.

  • Why is a A 9 6 board bad with AK you have top pair top kicker.

  • @MAMA67 Most of the time is the best hand but he tell you, that if there is any action after the flop he mostly have an monster because what can he call if you raise for example from utg3?he know that you range have a lot of A....So TT+,AQ+ is a normal range from UTG3,so he must fold nearly everything.Only If he had Two pairs or better he will call you on the flop.He normally will fold PP with out set and if he call u AJ or worse he's an fish and that is a different situation.

  • @NikD7 full ring isn't the only for of poker.

  • @MAMA67 not bad necessarily, but the possible outcomes aren't stellar.  Either you take down a pot that's not getting any bigger, you bet into someone who would only call with a better hand, or you slowplay, hoping the other player will make a move at the pot (but that also allows your opponent to draw out). There's a bit more to it, but it's basically that you can't disguise your top pair very well, which is what Negraneau's style is all about

  • @MAMA67 negreanu explains it. when u get action ur most likely beat

  • @keniffkeniff ..OR you can PUNISH the donkeys who is trying to catch up ,,if the blinds are high at your table,, NO way you should smooth call and try to get cute,, And worse let the garbage hands see that flop CHEAP. BTW.. i do agree that AQ is always danger at a 9-10 seat table playing from early position, i have seen many players get bounce at the table with that hand.

  • simple they're drawing hands so play them like drawing hands raise 3x 4x BB pre-flop after flop depends on the board if no part of it flops consider it a 4 to1... 9 t0 1 dog and consider folding it

  • if i dont play at all, then I won't have to worry at all

  • This makes no sense.Whens the last time daniel would fold ace king or ace queen hitting an ace on a flop in a cash game or tournament.? 

  • This would have been helpfull to know before i shoved preflop with AQ.

  • not online! these hands are all in guarrantees!

  • @BurnYourCash LOL

  • Nothing new what he tells here...

  • this is straight from his book lol

  • Great Lesson!
