Poker Advice from the Masters

Another subject on which I’d like to have some recurring posts is in the area of advice from the masters and legends of poker. For this post, I thought it might be appropriate to start with Mike Caro’s general winning advice. Just a couple of nuggets:

“Here’s how to play your strongest hands on early betting rounds… If a raise looks natural, raise. If a call looks natural, call. Do what opponents expect.”

“When you’re caught between the bettor and the player who made the last bet on the previous round, consider passing or raising.”

“Deception. It’s often wasted on weak opponents, because the most obvious strategy is usually the most profitable.”

For more great advice about how to approach the game of poker, read Caro’s Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker, then go take other people’s money at Full Tilt Poker.
