Exploiting an overaggressive player

One of the easiest ways to make money, particularly in a cash game, is to get into a battle with an overaggressive player. Overaggressive players are ready and willing to donate all of their money to your bankroll, so why not accept it with open arms? In most cases you will do the best against these types of players by letting them dictate the action as much as possible. Even though these players are certainly a bit on the spastic side, even they will be prone to making folds from time to time. The overaggressive aspect varies from a player who might be considered a calling station.

Playing Suited Connectors

In Hold’em

One of the types of starting hands that players love to hate, but hate to love is suited connectors. The reason for this hate/love relationship is that when a player decides to enter a pot with these deviant little guys, either they are going to be way ahead or way behind in the hand with very little room in between.

How to use the Gap Concept effectively in Poker

Here is a common situation in poker that I am 99.9% sure that all of us have faced, if not witnessed.

You are in the cut-off in a 9-man sit n go, with a stack of around 2,000 with the blinds at 50/100. The player under the gun has about 1,800 in chips and raises it to 250. Everyone folds to you; you look down to see As-9s and decide to make the call. The button, small blind and big blind fold and you and the player under the gun go to see the flop with $650 in the pot.
