Unlike casino games played against the house, poker is a game of skill played against other human beings.
Because you are battling other players, utilizing a solid mathematical strategy gives you a massive advantage.
Choosing the Right Hole Cards
In reality, you should fold the vast majority of your starting hands before the flop is even dealt.
When you do get a premium starting hand, you should play it aggressively by raising, rather than just calling.
Patience is the most important virtue in pokerPlaying fewer hands keeps you out of difficult post-flop situationsAggression wins pots even when you miss the flop
Why Position is Everything
The button is the best position at the table because you act last on every single post-flop betting round.
Because of this, you can play a much wider range of starting hands when you are on the button.
The Art of Bluffing and Bet Sizing
You should never bluff just for the sake of bluffing; there must be a logical mathematical reason.
If you only bet large when you have a monster hand, observant opponents will quickly read your strategy.
