Gary Blackwood breaks down seven essential cash game strategies to maximize profits. Covers value betting relentlessly, game selection tactics, exploiting capped ranges, position play, and when to fast play versus slow play your strong hands for maximum value.

Master thin value betting, attack capped ranges aggressively, play aggressive in position, and fast play strong hands to print money.

Cash Game Profit Maximizers:

  • Value bet relentlessly with strong hands and thinly with marginal holdings - opponent raises happen less than 3% on rivers
  • Check at least two boxes for live games: frequent limpers, multiway pots, or extreme preflop re-raise frequencies
  • Track opponent tendencies in folded hands to develop counter strategies and exploit their leaks post-flop
  • Fire continuation bets nearly 100% in position heads-up to pressure opponents and capitalize on positional advantage
  • Check flop frequently in multiway pots out of position, then follow up with aggressive check-raise strategy
  • Attack capped ranges with oversized bets when opponents show weakness through multiple checks or passive lines
  • Fast play strong hands in single-raised pots to build the pot, but consider slow playing in three-bet pots with position
