If you aren’t preying on the poor, innocent, helpless, disadvantaged players at the table, you’re not playing poker like a man. In this cut throat game you’ve got to take every advantage you can get.
Whether that is using an odds-calculator, bullying with a large stack, forcing bad pot odds, multi-tabling and only playing premium cards, it doesn’t matter. The one important thing to do is stack the odds in your favour!
The best way of doing this, at any table, real-life or on the net, is to abuse your table position and target the players to the right of you. This is the funniest thing ever. This makes poker fun.
Anyone who has half a brain knows that money flows clockwise around the table – which the later positions have the advantage of seeing what the previous moves are before they take their turn. That’s what this Texas Hold’em tricks based off – use this to your advantage.
As hard as this might be, it’s your duty to exploit this and rake in their entire stack for yourself, even if you don’t have very good cards.
But what about check-raisers? The small rule of thumb I use is act on the last move. So if they check at the flop and you raise and play good. Then they raise post-flop (so they check-raised you). Make your sole decision on that last move, the raise. So if you have good cards play, or fold out if you don’t want to take them on.
