Most players make huge betting mistakes with weak top pair hands. Are you typically betting the turn again, or checking behind and slowing down?

Let's review this common #poker leak and even see what the #GTO solver wants to do in this hand. In this video, James "SplitSuit" Sweeney reviews a hand from poker VLOG...

Knowing which type of player you're up against will massively impact your overall plan in a hand. In this video,...
