In this strategic poker video, Sky Matsuhashi from Smart Poker Study demonstrates four practical pot-stealing techniques through actual hand examples. He shows how to execute three-bet bluffs preflop, continuation bets on favorable boards, double barrel bluffs when opponents call flops, and river probes when opponents show weakness. Each technique is explained with clear reasoning and situational awareness.

Sky demonstrates four effective pot-stealing techniques using real hand examples: three-bet bluffing preflop, c-betting on dry boards, double barrel bluffing, and river probing when opponents show weakness on later streets.

Hand Analysis:

  • Using Ace blockers effectively makes three-bet bluffs more successful
  • Choosing dry boards (like 3-7-2) for c-bet bluffs works against Broadway hands
  • Planning double barrels before three-betting gives you a post-flop strategy
  • Recognizing turn weakness from opponents creates river probe opportunities
  • Position advantage significantly improves bluffing success rates
  • Opponent tendencies and stats should guide your bluffing decisions
  • Small bet sizing can sometimes induce calls and set up later street bluffs
