Team Bas Poker Presents: “Mastering ISO Pots” – The Ultimate Video Series to Elevate Your Poker Game
Poker is a game of strategy, skill, and adaptability. Among the vast arsenal of tactics available to players, isolating opponents (ISO) is one of the most powerful and often overlooked strategies. The ability to effectively isolate your opponents and play a hand with minimal interference from others at the table is a game-changer—if done correctly. Unfortunately, many players struggle to master this skill, often misusing it or simply not giving it the attention it deserves in their training.
That’s where Team Bas Poker comes in with their exclusive video series, “Mastering ISO Pots.” Wide learning experience, expertly presented by TBP’s head coach, Beldarion, is designed to help you discover the secrets of ISO play and take your poker game to the next level. Whether you’re a beginner looking to grasp the fundamentals or an experienced player aiming to refine your skills, this course has something for everyone.
Why ISO?
Isolating opponents—often referred to as ISO—is a powerful technique in poker, particularly in cash games and tournament play. When you isolate, you are essentially choosing to bet or raise in a way that forces weak players to either fold or engage in a heads-up confrontation with you. This strategy allows you to control the action, narrow the field, and play with greater precision. The result? Bigger pots and increased opportunities to extract value from weaker opponents. However, mastering ISO requires a deep understanding of game theory, effective bet sizing, and the ability to read your opponents’ tendencies.
What to Expect in “Mastering ISO Pots”
This video series is structured to take you on a complete journey through the art of isolating opponents. Here’s what you can expect:
Part 1 – GTO Foundations: Aggregated Reports
In this foundational module, you’ll dive into the Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approach to ISO. Understanding GTO is crucial for making well-balanced plays that don’t rely on your opponent’s mistakes, but rather on sound strategy. Beldarion will guide you through the concept of aggregated reports, helping you understand how to analyze hands using GTO principles. You’ll learn the optimal times and situations for isolating an opponent and how to adjust based on factors such as stack sizes, position, and hand strength. This portion of the course sets a solid foundation for the more advanced strategies discussed later.
Part 2 – Advanced Flop and Turn Play
Once you’ve mastered the basics of isolating opponents pre-flop, it’s time to focus on post-flop play. The flop and turn are key stages in hand, and how you play them can very affect your long-term profitability. This module teaches you how to maximize your Expected Value (EV) post-flop when you’re in an ISO pot. You’ll learn advanced concepts for extracting value, such as checking for traps, building pots with the correct bet sizing, and controlling the tempo of the hand. Knowing how to continue your aggression and make optimal plays after the flop is key to becoming a successful ISO player.
Part 3 – Population Tendencies and Nodelocking
Poker is not just about theory but about adapting to opponents. In this section, Beldarion teaches you how to spot population tendencies—common mistakes made by average players—and how to exploit them with your ISO strategy. You’ll learn about nodelocking, a technique where you lock in specific ranges based on your opponent’s likely actions and reactions, and how this can be used to make more informed decisions when isolating. This skill is particularly useful in games with players who aren’t playing optimally, allowing you to exploit their weaknesses for maximum profit.
Part 4 – Mastering Big ISOs
Sometimes, making a smaller raise just isn’t enough. There are times when you need to apply maximum pressure and make big ISO bets to get your opponents to fold or play poorly. In this module, you’ll learn when and how to use larger ISO sizing to your advantage. Beldarion covers the theory behind big ISO sizing, explaining how to calculate the right bet size depending on factors like your opponent’s tendencies and the dynamics of the table. Mastering big ISOs can be one of the most rewarding skills in poker, especially when applied in the right situations.
