Open letter to my dear friend Wolf
David, my main man, many know you as Wolf on the felt.
You know me. I'm going to get straight to the point.
Let’s stop pretending. You’re a Whale, and not the subtle kind.
The whole room knows it before the cards are even shuffled. Good players will target you like a black Friday sale. When you bet you get lighter calls, more floats, more bluffs, and more people trying to get into pots with you. This letter is for you because every good player already knows you.....big bankroll, loose, not scared money.
And I'm here to give you a lil advice, from one pro to another👍
How to win more when everyone knows your a whale
1. Tighten Your Range… but Don’t Change Your Image
Never try to “fix” your table image by talking or acting differently. Let them think you’re loose — but start playing tighter in key spots.
What happens:
- They still call wider.
- You’re now value-heavy.
- Their weaker ranges pay you off wildly.
2. Use Smaller Bet Sizes
Smaller bets let you:
- Control pot size.
- Value bet thinner.
- Lose less when you’re behind.
- Still get called by worse hands because you’re “the whale.”
3. Punish the Call-Happy Players (Exploit Them)
When they call too much:
You adjust by:
- Value betting thinner. Top pair becomes a value hand, not a check-down hand.
- Betting more streets for value.
- Even second pair might be worth a turn bet.
If they want to call everything…Charge them for it.
Most important lesson is you don’t need to stop caring about losing. But you DO need to start caring about EV per hand.
The idea is:
You’re not rich at the table — you’re dangerous.
From 1 pro to another with luv. The grind never stops
