New Strategies To Incorporate

I don't know what it is about 2017, but I am really into poker again.  I have been consuming as much strategy and advice about poker as possible and want to really improve my game over the next few months in order to have this be the most profitable year yet for my poker playing.  While I have already set forth some yearly goals in regard to my play, I need to also have a place for strategy goals.  And that is what this will be.

When I hear a tip or strategic play that could be introduced into my game more to see whether it improves my profitability, I want to write it down somewhere that I can remember it and look back at it again and again in order to see in what situations it works and in what situations it doesn't.  This post will be that reference point.  As I learn more tips and try new tips, I will post their results and see if it works.

Strategy #1
  • Check-raise more.  Especially on the flop, pull off the check-raise bluff.

Strategy #2
  • In tournament play, limp early with low-to-medium pocket pairs when the pot starts small and raise late in order to steal blinds that are worth more.

Strategy #3
  • Raising in late position more frequently with a wider array of hands.
As I come across more pieces of information to better my game I will include them, but for now I am going to focus on just doing these three tactics.
