Advanced Texas Hold Em Tips – Top Secret Advanced Trick
I’m about to reveal this top secret advanced Texas Hold Em tips formula for raking in cash and exploding your stack and bankroll. Don’t miss out on this one.
This advanced Texas Hold em tips very simple, yet not as easy as you would like, which is why its advanced. It’s got great potential for making you a bucketload of money though so hang in there.
Advanced Texas Hold Em Tips – Avoid Multiway Action
Multiway hands on a Hold em table is complicated, difficult, and just downright messy. It is much easier to win when you are heads up playing one person. You should aim to get heads up with a single opponent by the flop. You can use betting strategies and advanced table position plays to achieve this.
First things first – your pre-flop raise and a half-decent tight aggressive reputation should indicate to your opponent that your hand is strong (even if it isn’t). You’ll need to leverage this to stay on top of the hand.
Remembering you odds, any player with unpaired hole cards, i.e. A-K, K-Q, A-J, will have about a one in three chance of making a pair on the flop. If they happened to already have a pair, i.e. A-A, K-K, Q-Q, than one in about eight times they will get three of a kind.
You can get into a heads up a bunch of different ways
1 – You enter the pot first, another player calls after you and then the blinds fold 2 – You enter the pot first, a player with a worse position then you calls 3 – Another player raises the pot, you call from a better position 4 – Another player raises the pot, you call from a worse position 5 – The small blind limps in, you check from the big blind. 6 – A player limps in before the flop. The small blind folds and you check from the big blind.
In each of these different scenarios you will be in a better or worse position. But it doesn’t really matter because being first up in a heads up is better than being later in a multiway play.
Forcing a heads up as soon as possible – preferably going in from pre-flop – is one of the best advanced Texas Hold Em tips to implement. By doing this you will exponentially increase your pots odds, not to mention give your poor brain a break from so many calculations.
Advanced Texas Holdem – Why Check-Raising Is For Losers
It’s a confusing advanced Texas Holdem strategy to implement. Read this article now to find out why check raising is for losers, unless your a WPT champion.
I know that advanced Texas holdem poker professionals, WPT champions and the mysterious ‘Texas Poker Gods’ all tell you to check raise, check and raise, check first and raise later. However, for the most part I advised against this strategy. If you have followed my blog or articles for sometime you’ll know this. The bottom line is this:
– When you check, you can only win by one way. That is to have better cards then the other players.. – When you raise, there are two ways you can win. That is to have better cards then the other players.. and the players can fold.
I would much prefer two ways rather than one.
Check raising is for losers. It doesn’t work most of the time. It’s a weak, wimpy play. It’s bred from the poverty mindset of ‘I have to save my chips. My precious chips!’. “I can see the flop for free and raise if I hit!”. Or the even worse (in my books) overt-trickster mindset ‘heehee I’m gonna trick him. Hehe’
You can’t save your way to wealth. You can’t trick your way into success. Hard work, consistent practice and a never ending desire to learn is what you need.
There is no replacement for a solid aggressive betting strategy. And you can’t be aggressive when you are checking all the time. If you had pocket aces, why would you check? If you’ve hit a flush or have a nice flush draw, why would you check? If you’ve got a set and have an open ended straight draw, why would you check?
So unless you are so absolutely awesome at your pre-flop reading ability, and without a doubt know that your cards are better than your opponents, and that you will most likely flop a better hand then him, and that he will have a hand that’s good enough to bet but still just worse then yours so you take the pot, then I wouldn’t bother check-raising.
