Position

I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times already.  “Remember the importance of position.”  It gets old but unfortunately for those of you who are sick of hearing it, it’s incredibly important.  Position is so important because, even though the importance of position is ground into us every day, we … more

Scare Cards

We hate them.  If you don’t know what they are yet, consider yourself lucky.  A scare card is a card that hits on the flop, turn, or river that could potentially wreck your hand.

An example of a scare card is when you raise KK preflop and the board brings an … more

Big Pairs on the Turn

Hello friends,

I’m here to talk about playing big pairs on the turn.  I’m talking about overpairs like AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT and top pair top kicker (TPTK) hands like AK on an A49 board.  Got it?  It doesn’t have to be those exact hands, but some sort of big … more

Shortstacks are one of the most annoying opponents poker players must face. They push with seemingly random hands, they can’t be bluffed in any pots worth bluffing at, and they constantly hit and run. Remember that the ideas presented here are just general tips, not hard and fast rules. If … more

Avoiding Destackings

The Key Concept

Some days we lose money slowly without being able to do much about it. You know the feeling – your continuation bets are all getting called or raised, you have to fold TPTK to a big river raise, your two-pair gets counterfeited, and the list goes on.

It can … more

Taking Notes

When I first started studying poker, I read all kinds of note-taking philosophies but I never really got anywhere with them. They usually said something like “use this abbreviation for preflop raise percent, use that abbreviation for folds to river bet.” They never really told me how to train myself … more

Changing Gears

This article is complemented by the “Taking Notes” article. In order to correctly adjust to your opponents, you will need two things:

1. Notes on your opponents, whether they be detailed written notes or just a mental note on some new guy at the table

2. You need to adjust correctly and … more
