How to Go From ABC Reg to Tough Reg

This video explores how modern poker pros use large overbets and all-ins on the river in spots where range asymmetry exists. Pete Clarke demonstrates why jamming is correct when you have a polarized range with strong value hands and appropriate bluffs, comparing old-school conservative play to modern aggressive strategy.

Modern poker requires using all stack depths as a resource. River jamming in polarized spots maximizes value and creates tough decisions for opponents with capped ranges.

River Strategy Highlights:

• Use all-ins when your range contains very strong hands and appropriate bluffs
• Modern players treat stacks as "dispensable resources" rather than sacred
• Brick turns that preserve range advantage should be overbetting spots
• Jack completing straights creates even more range asymmetry on the river
• Mass data shows opponents overfolding to river jams more than theory suggests
• Developing mental toughness for variance is essential for implementation
• Range uncapping moments (like when opponent should donk but doesn't) are key jamming spots
