The Key To Texas Hold Em Poker
" it doesnt matter so much what you have, but more what your opponent has, then you can adjust your play based off of that" phil ivey
The key is reading your opponents and trying to gauge/guess what they have in their hand the best you can. All other strategies are secondary to this. This is 90% of the game. People get caught up in the odds because its easier to focus on the math and try to give yourself an exact step by step solution for every situation. But this only counts 1 out of 50 hands. And if you play so tight you only bet on 1 out of 50 hands your opponent already has you beat. Playing for pots gets you the green. Playing to flip over winners gets you the brown. The challenge of poker is wading through the mystery well enough to make it less mysterious. The way one goes about wading through the mystery is everything. Seeking certainty through mathematics works if youre a computer but youre still not playing against one.
