Texas Holdem Percentages and Math: Pot Odds

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #93 – 03/29/2010

Texas Holdem Percentages and Math: Pot Odds

My opponent and I each have $2,500 in chips. There is already $5,000 in the pot when the turn card arrives. My opponent goes all-in, creating a $7,500 pot. Should I call? First, I need to calculate the pot odds, or the amount of money I stand to win relative to the amount of money I’ll have to put at risk.

Texas Holdem – After Flopping Two Pair

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #92 – 03/28/2010

Texas Holdem – After Flopping Two Pair

Not all two pair are created equal. There are three different varieties – top two pair, top and bottom pair, and bottom two pair – and each has its own unique properties and strategic implications. One constant among all three, however, is how unlikely I am to improve my hand. I will only draw to a full house or better 17 percent of the time. In other words I’ve got to plan on winning with two pair.

Texas Holdem Session Length

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #90 – 03/26/2010

Texas Holdem Session Length

If I am losing, I’ll make just about any excuse to leave the table. I’ll leave even if I know I’m playing well but I have had the best of it. I get up and leave because

  • My opponents are very likely playing their A-games.
  • My opponents are not likely to give my game the respect it normally deserves.
  • My opponents are playing with confidence.
  • My bluffs are less likely to work because of my weak, tilting image.

Texas Holdem Psychology: Beating Overly Aggresive Opponents

Texas Holdem Tip of the Day #89 – 03/25/2010

Texas Holdem Psychology: Beating Overly Aggresive Opponents

I am not normally a fan of slowplaying. Against overly agressive opponents, however, I am willing to change my tune. Truly hyper-aggresive players will fire two, even three bluffs at a pot when they just can’t win. I am more than happy to check and call and let them bust themselves.
