Limit hold'em is a game where small edges are the key.
In this level we will go into the subtle spots where those small advanteges are made.
In our first mathematical article we dealt with the different odds regarding drawing hands. Today we will tackle some more sophisticated issues, such as implied odds and EV, getting to know the basic uses and seeing how they change the way we think about poker.
There are two main types of drawing hands in Texas hold'em — four cards to a straight, or four cards to a flush. We will break down the different situations, and see that not all draws are equal. We’ll show you how to make money when you hit, and how to pay less before you do. Straight Draws
Multi-table play refers to playing at more then one table simultaneously; online poker professionals sometimes play up to 12 tables at once. No one, however, starts out by playing 12 or even four tables, just as no one starts out by playing at $100-$200 limits. Why?
There is no doubt that if one of the players at the table could see everybody else's hands, he would take all of their money very quickly. To see through cards is not within our realm of abilities though, so what we will try and explore here is a way to minimize the number of possible hands our opponent could be holding, so that we can make a decision that’s as exact as possible.
The semi bluff is a very important and basic move in limit hold'em, and it’s one of the reasons why position is such an critical factor. What is a Semi-Bluff?
The blinds make up a significant number of the hands played in a Texas hold'em game, and so it is critical to not throw that money away.
Not all poker players try to play the “right” way. There are several approaches to the game — some like to gamble, some are too timid, and some just do not know any better. Today we will do our best to categorize the main types of players normally encountered at a poker table.
