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 say that from reckless youth and overextension, renewal can be found from refocusing on what matters, and a good woman’s guidance probably had a lot to do with it, as well. Now an ACR Team Pro with a work ethic to match his dreams, we’re happy to host Michael Lancor on the Chasing Poker Greatness Podcast.

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 equity when it’s coming down to the wire and you’re still standing? Should you bet normally or shove? Where can you find true love in a poker room?These questions and more are answered in the very first Stand Up Game strategy episode on any medium ever. Don’t care if that’s an accurate statement.

LEAKED CLASSIFIED WOLF STRATS INCOMING on this episode of Tactical Tuesday, in which Jon has been sweatin' to the Solvers with the CPG Wolves CFP elite to develop a Bet / 3-Bet strategy postflop for when these clown world villains try raising our flop bets.Doing his best to further desensitize the entire poker world to the significance of the all-in bet, Jon has brought FIVE hands (I know; this is a disturbing trend when we exceed 2 hands for consecutive weeks. I don't even know what's real anymore.), yes FIVE hands where he just will-nill throws all of his precious big blinds into a world of risk before we even know what 40% of the cards will be. Pure lunacy, we know. But there's something to be said for simplicity, if nothing else.This is real poker. With real buy-ins. With real feelings. And real poker-related consequences. THIS IS REAL NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD THEM.

This week Duncan has the pleasure to have an in depth conversation with our very own Peter Bermingham about his experiences as a correctional officer. What are some facts and misconceptions about prison life and what does it teach us about poker?

Jon continues to slave away in the 500 Zoom mines as part of his CPG Wolves R&D, and he's emerged from those murky depths with triple the amount of our normal haul of hands for review. Sometimes he has a pair, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he has thick value, sometimes he has garbage air bluffs. Is this... balance?? [butterflymeme.jpg] Let's see if Coach Brad can make any sense of it.

Be sure to get a free poker course in the description! So Jon's been hard at work in the lab doing 500NL Zoom Play & Explain videos for the CPG Wolves Coaching For Profit poker stable, and he's selected two spicy hands for us to review before we get into the main course, which is a live cash hand he played at pretty high stakes. But he has Aces, so everything should work out fine.

This week Peter and Duncan have the pleasure to talk to clinical and sports psychologist Dr. Micheal J. Whitman who adds incredible insight on a variety of poker and sports related topics such as: competition, disruptive behavior, dealing with downswings/adversity, growth and many others.Dr Michael has been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years (https://www.drmichaelwhitman.com/).When he is not working with patients or playing poker, he is busy writing about the psychological aspects of Tennis (https://www.amazon.com/Psychological-Analysis-Tennis-Michael-Whitman/dp/1662905661).He is also running the highly rated podcast: The shrink in Beverly Hills (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-shrink-in-beverly-hills-podcast/id1392797526).If you have any comments/questions, you can visit the online platform, Greatness Village: https://greatnessvillage.com/To learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://freenuffle.comCPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt

When you’re in the midst of a bit of a downswing, well, nobody ever got out of it by folding, did they? That’s where Jon’s head is at the week as he tries to pry victory from the jaws of negative variance by considering a big call with a great bluff catcher in one instance, and then deciding to turn yet another pair into a bluff in another. Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 116 on YouTube dot com, friends.The first poker hand we have for your review comes from the streets of 1000NL and finds Jon with Pocket Jays on the button against a decidedly aggressive bad guy in the cutoff. I wonder if we will end up playing for stacks? But can we find literally any bluffs here if villain jams all-in?Our next No Limit Texas Hold Them hand is from the blood-stained 5/10/20 live streets of Las Vegas. Jon decides to open Qd8d on the button 8-handed. Not sure why this ends up being a massive pot, but I stopped trying to figure this out a couple years back. Let’s just watch how much money gets risked and go from there.For the most groundbreaking, solutions-based poker courses you will ever find, you need to get yourself to the Chasing Poker Greatness website and start clicking around: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/Preflop Bootcamp: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#preflop-bootcamp-poker-courseFish In A Barrel: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#fish-in-a-barrel-and-feeding-frenzy-poker-coursesNUFFLE (Neutralizing Flop Leads): https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#nuffle-neutralize-flop-leads-poker-courseWant NUFFLE for free?

Free poker course details in the description! Jon's back again this week, showing massive dedication calling in from the road with some great teachable spots in thin value betting. But how thin is too thin? As always, Coach Brad brings the sobriety and we reset the clock until next week. Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 115, where we're playing online poker and making friends along the way.The first poker hand in question is from 1000NL, and Jon is holding Kd Jd in the big blind and decides to defend against the small blind apparently trying to iso a fish limping UTG. Plans change and Jon flops top pair, weak-ish kicker. What do you do when villain puts a whole ass bet into us and the fish? Jon breaks down his thought process behind whether to call and if he should eventually go for thin value with a hand this susceptible.The next poker hand up for review is another 4-Bet battle of the blinds with our guy Jon holding Pocket Jacks in the small blind. Some people say it's the missed value that haunts you the most when you try to go to sleep at night after a session. Is this gonna' be one of those times?

Check the description below for a free poker course! This week's episode is a masterclass in skepticism, as we join Jon amidst his online poker exploits for a pair of hands in which he's faced with bets across multiple streets but fails to connect with the board. "Bluff catching without a pair" is not for the faint of heart, as we'll soon see.So what's a young crusher to do when the dealer won't help you out? Call anyway, of course. Let's follow Jon and Coach Brad's thought process as they isolate reasons and rationale for why one might hero call in some circumstances but not others. Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 114.Our first poker hand up for review is from 1000NL, and features Jon holding Kh Js in the big blind and flat calling a button open from a reg. Jon hits a whole lotta' nothing on the flop, but is this really a board that villain should be betting?

For Valentine's Day, we love you so much that we're offering a free poker course in the description below! For this week's poker training, love is in the air, but definitely not the good kind. Welcome to the first episode of Toxic Tuesday, where we've staged an intervention of sorts to make Jon face the hard facts that his love affairs with turning pairs into bluffs and chasing every flush draw with a pulse is causing him to lose money and preventing him from finding true love in this game of poker.All's fair in love and war, however, and Jon's brought 10 (Yes, TEN) hands from his little black book to try to convince Coach Brad that it's not him, it's ALL OF US who can't see the value in the eight high flush draw with a heart of gold that comes home every night at 4am.Will Jon see the error of his ways and finally swipe right on a nice pair of Kings that can take care of him? Or will he keep looking for love in all the wrong Aces?

For your free poker course, just read the description below! For this week's episode, we revisit good 'ol reliable Equilab to drill down on calculation of hand equity in some all-in spots where Jon calls it all off with hands that obviously don't beat all of villain's range. But can he find enough combos in post-hand review using Equilab to feel good about the calls? Or does Coach Brad help Mr. Chai find some calculation recalibration? See how Join us for episode 112 and find out how to use this valuable tool!Equilab is a free poker tool from PokerStrategy.com: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/poker-software-tools/equilab-holdem/***FREE POKER COURSE*** Click here to get the NURRLE poker course completely for free: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#free-nurrle...AND SCROLL DOWN TO GET THE NUFFLE COURSE FOR FREE!Our first online cash game poker hand brought to us by Jon Chai is from 1000NL, in which Jon finds himself opening with A5s -- one of his favorite "aggro" hands with which he happily and routinely uses to increase his VPIP / adrenaline. While versatile as a starting hand, what happens when you get the river with top pair and a 5 kicker... when villain jams? Watch Jon try to cobble together enough equity to call when Coach Brad whips out the ultimate dreamcrusher: Equilab.We find ourselves with A5s again in hand number 2, with Jon opening on button and calling a 3-bet from the small blind. We get a favorable flop, but a very unorthodox play from villain leaves Jon scrambling for equity calculation justification before putting it all in yet again. Does villain have enough weak combos to keep their range equity low enough for us to get it in? The numbers never lie when you run them through Equilab.

SCRIPT FLIP INCOMING: This week's show format has been turned right on its head as we finally make good on Coach Brad's previously broken promises -- for which he still hasn't apologized -- to revisit some old hands from yesteryear, when Jon Chai was but a wee lad trying to scratch two big blinds together and find his way in this poker world.Upon revisiting hands from all the way back in 2021 (a simpler time when Barbara Walters and Angela Lansbury were still entertaining us all), Coach Brad & Jon discover that maybe it's not how the hands were played that's important... but it was the friends we made along the way.

Somehow he manages to make a hand with great showdown value. So there's no reason to bet... right? *Jon stares at you and doesn't answer* RIGHT?? Why aren't you answering, Jon? The original hand is from episode 39, available here: https://youtu.be/kK3hIvQhcqsThe next hand up for high level poker strategy discussion is AT suited in the cutoff. A 3-Bet by villain in the small blind increases the pot nicely for our hand in position. Jon "Houdinis" his way through the hand, but was it worth the risk?

Find out how to get a free poker course below! This week's journey into the realm of Tactical Tuesday poker training series sees CPG's Coach Brad Wilson and co-host Jon Chai critique two cash game poker hands played by Jon, this time playing suited connectors in 3-Bet and 4-Bet pots. It wouldn't be an episode of TT without jams on both hands, and sure enough we're faced with exactly those decisions for the entirety of the chips. Coach Brad enhances his powers with the magic of edibles to *checks notes*... agree with Jon? What's in those things? ***FREE POKER COURSE*** Click here to get the NURRLE poker course completely for free: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#free-nurrleThe first online poker hand up for scrutiny is from 1000NL in which Jon finds himself opening with 78 suited in the cutoff and gets hit with the immediate 3-Bet from the button. 78 suited is such a pretty hand, but should we be playing for stacks out of position with 8 high? Let's F around and find out.The second hand up for high level poker strategy discussion is 45 suited in the big blind. An optimistic 3-Bet by our hero against the opening villain on the button gets punished by a 4-Bet and suddenly it's a race to the bottom of Jon's 4-Bet calling range (does he have one, actually?) as we go to a flop with 5 high. Equities are shifted on a favorable flop... but is it enough to book a W?These hands and a sick hype voiceover for the CPG Wolves can be found on today's episode of Tactical Tuesday!

In this week's episode of Philosophical Friday, Peter Birmingham and Duncan Palamourdas discuss the concept of Fancy Play Syndrome (FPS), i.e. the concept of applying unnecessarily complex methods in otherwise simpler problems.What are some poker examples both within the game itself but also in the realm of the so-called metagame where this applies? Why can FPSing be detrimental and how can it be mitigated?

Do you want a free poker course? Click below!Our newest installment in the Tactical Tuesday free poker training series features CPG Founder and Coach Brad Wilson with co-host Jon Chai as they dive into yet another pair of online cash game poker hand breakdowns focusing this time on bluff catching spots against the all-too-common all in jam by adventurous villains. With upper range hands in both situations, should Jon ever find a fold? And what about the properties of blockers when facing large river bets? ***FREE POKER COURSE*** Click here to get the NURRLE poker course completely for free: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/poker-courses/#free-nurrleOur first poker hand up for review is from 1000NL where Jon finds himself holding Ace Ten suited in the small blind and decides to flat a reg's open from the cutoff so as to keep the whale in the big blind in the hand. It doesn't work, so we're in for some reg on reg crime as we see a favorable flop.The second poker hand up for analysis is Pocket Tens. Other than flopping a set, how are mere mortals supposed to play this hand? Just make sure all 5 cards come out lower than that -- you're welcome. If only it were that simple all the time, but in this instance, eyebrows are raised when the 3-Betting big blind triple barrel jams on the same board that favors hero. Is Jon about to get coolered by a higher overpair, which are all within villain's range? An interesting case study in bluff catching and blockers / unblockers transpires in this hand as Jon plays for stacks yet again.o learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://freenuffle.comCPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt

Jon puts in the 4-Bet and after a call we go to a flop. But what happens when you have Ace King and don't flop a pair? We try to talk ourselves through the available options in this interesting spot.Our second poker hand up for debate is old reliable Cowboys in the cutoff. Another villain on the button bumps it up to 3-Bet territory and of course Pocket Kings deserves a 4-Bet. Jon and Brad have differing opinions on when to bet and when to check.
