"The decisions you make on the Flop are by far the most important." |
|
|
"Be straightforward...not fancy...in your betting tactics. Some hands you get
will virtually play themselves. Your ability to make the most, or lose the least, with one Pair will probably be the difference
between winning and losing."
|
|
|
"It comes to a point where you have to take a chance. If you want to be a winner." |

an out."

"Remember to always raise. Do a lot of raising to find out where you're at.
Raise to find out if your hand is the best hand or not. Raise to try to win the pot. Once you've learned the information,
once you've learned where you're at through raising, make sure that you follow through. If you've learned that you're beat...fold,
if you've learned that you have the best hand...continue to play and bet."

|
"It's very important that when your opponent has a drawing hand that misses
to allow them to bluff to you."

|
|
"Very often you can catch a big bluff on the river, not by anything your opponent
did on the river, but by how he was betting his hand earlier in the pot."

|
