Charge draws maximum price. Avoid curiosity calls. Target recreational players. Fold small pairs without sets. Let aggressive players bluff off.

  • Stop making curiosity calls with weak hands against solid regulars who bet multiple streets for value
  • Follow the money by targeting recreational players who provide 90% of long-term poker profits
  • Fold small pocket pairs immediately when you miss your set on the flop instead of chasing miracles
  • Never hero call tight players who raise on scary boards because nits don't bluff in these spots
  • Call down aggressive players with middle pair top kicker as perfect bluff catchers against their wide ranges
  • Build big pots yourself against passive players by raising their small bets with monster hands like sets
