Don’t get me wrong, you absolutely need to pay attention to game selection at lower limits to maximize your win-rate and combat ... Read More
I mean, this is a poker blog, amirite? So yeah. Why not. This isn't revolutionary or anything but I've talked about it with several students and have actually had to mention it in a few videos that I've done for Deuces. Anywho. I'm talking with a student about hands... Read More
In a not particularly good live 100-200 game i was dealt AKo in the sb. We were 8 handed and it was folded around to the cutoff who openraised. I 3 bet. This reraise will look like a wider range of hands than a normal 3 bet in this game because it's a blind steal situation. Just as cutoff's open... Read More

The battle in the blinds In hold'em, blind stealing and defense is what separates the great players from small winners and mediocre losers. As you play increasingly shorthanded games, the amount of time you spend in the blinds increases dramatically. You will spend one and... Read More

The battle in the blinds In hold’em, blind stealing and defense is what separates the great players from small winners and mediocre losers.  As you play increasingly shorthanded games, the amount of time you spend in the blinds increases dramatically.  You will spend one and half more times paying blinds at a six-handed table than you will at a 10-handed ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/entity/492-Shorthanded-Limit-Hold-em-An-Introduction-to-Preflop-Play">(continued)</a>
Answers to Exercises Exercise 1 (a) The suits of the cards are irrelevant, so the calculation is the same and the answer is 0.274 bets. (b) Whether our opponent has AQ or AK does not affect the calculation since we still have the same number of outs to win, so the EV is again 0.274 bets. © If we miss our straight, we still lose 1 bet, but now if we make a ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/sweetjazz3/466-How-to-Think-About-Limit-Holdem-Answers-to-Exercises">(continued)</a>

Expected Value The first tool used to analyze a betting decision is the concept of expected value (or EV). In order to calculate EV, you make a list of all the possible ways the hand can play out; for each possible scenario, you multiply the number of bets you will win or lose in the given situation by the probability of that situation occurring, and then you add up these ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/sweetjazz3/464-How-to-Think-About-Limit-Holdem-Part-Two">(continued)</a>
Introduction This is the first in a series of articles that will discuss limit holdem from the ground up.

The reason for this is that the alternate approach — giving a concrete set of rules to guide ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/sweetjazz3/463-How-to-Think-About-Limit-Holdem-Part-One">(continued)</a>
