Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 For me, any given 4 or 5 hour session hinges on just 3-4 key hands. These hands will determine if I am a winner or loser for the session. When I identify and play those 3-4 hands correctly I will be successful. I can grind out profits over time, but the real results are just a few hands.Likewise, I tend to win big and lose small. My winning sessions average more than 3x the size of my losing sessions.Comments? Link to post Share on other sites

aucu 3 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yes the big hands can make a huge difference, but you need to play small ball as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Sluggo 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Why push there?By going to showdown, you're just giving yourself a chance to keep the chips. You should push and then open fold the next street. Link to post Share on other sites
