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.

Playing Tight and Aggressive

Beginners often want to see every flop, hoping to catch a lucky miracle combination.


A winning strategy involves playing a "tight" range of premium hands, like high pairs and strong suited connectors.

Fold weak hands like King-Four or Jack-Two instantlyPremium pairs (AA, KK, QQ) should always be raised pre-flopDo not limp into the pot; either raise or fold
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.

How to Bluff Effectively

You should never bluff just for the sake of bluffing; there must be a logical mathematical reason.


Furthermore, your bet sizing should remain consistent whether you have the "nuts" (the best hand) or a total bluff.
