If you play higher then you can afford or higher then you usually do and variance decides to work against you, you might blow everything you've made during the preceding 10 months.

There is too much profit in this play to overlook it.What I look for....1. the player must raise on a lot of substandard hands 2. the player must not play very well after the flop..either too loose or too tight, 3. the player knows how tight you play and will give you way too much respect after the flop.There is 1 player you dont want to 3 bet. Thats the one that is a good player, p...

For instance many books subscribe to the idea that in holdem under the gun in the first two positions you need ak or aa, kk, qq to raise. some even recommend not raising on AK in early position but just limping.There is another concept regarding position that I think is as important if not more important then the above. That is position relative to the initial raiser.If a person raises in front of you even though you have position on him....you have all the other players to deal with behind you....and not ...

I wanted the loose players on my right and the tight players on my left. Now I have made a few changes.The super tight players it really dosnt matter where you sit in relation to them at the table. All things being equal they are safe on your left side. The player you dont want on your left is the super aggressive tricky player. If you leave him on your left you are going to end up with a lot of problem solving to do for the day.Now ideally the perso...

On the other hand I have got to know many people from the poker world over the years.

As a solid winning player over the years in home games I have had to take quite a bit of needling as being tight with the end result being not invited to many home games. More often then not the needling came from the loosest losing players that had to find someone else to blame for there bad play. Occasionally it came from a good player that wanted to divert attention away from himself or perhaps to get me barred so he could have the game all to himself.The purpose of the above introduction is that I always felt that ...

If your not looking at the showdown hands at least 80% of the time you have very little chance of becoming a winning player. The showdown is something you should be waiting for and looking forward to. Its your roadmap on how the other players are playing. Not only does it show you what hands they play but also how they play them. On each showdown you should be reconstructing the play to see how each player played that particular hand.

Just send me your email address and I will add you to the group receiving late plays.Poker Comments:Fold EquityWhen you read holdem books a popular concept both in the books and in ring games is a concept called fold equity. The simple explanation of what this means is that if you play a hand aggressive this gives you some chance of winning without improving since as the aggressor your opponent may fold.This comes up most of the time either when your in the blind and 3 bet a late position raiser...or your 3 bet behind a raiser.When I first read about this concept I used it all the time and found that using it profitably is very dependent upon who you are 3 betting. The more predictable the player the more you can use it. Also you can use it more when your 3 betting behind the raiser. But in the blinds you ca...

But if you haven't shown any strength and get check raised on the turn...then...its a more difficult decision since your opponent may very well think your weak.This comes up in a variety of situations.
