No-Limit Texas Holdem Strategy Tips:
Preflop:
- don't fight big reraises
- don't get over-committed with bad hand
- stay away from trouble hands in a raised pot (KQ, AJ, etc)
- build a big pot with a big hand (AA, KK, QQ, AKs; AK, AQ, JJ, TT in position)
- isolate with reasonable hands only
- frequently slow play AA more first in with mid-small stack
- sometimes, slow play AA-QQ from blinds against "stealer"
- sometimes, slow play AA-QQ in position against 1 raiser, for value and deception
- usually raise less after limpers with big pairs than big cards
- min-reraise (sometimes OOP) is generally weak
Flop:
- OOP in big pot, over pair in scare board, play safe. try not to lose big stack in messy flop
- when flop good on baby board HU in POS, check behind as non-aggro (hope for good turn for opponent)
- sometimes, with AK flopping A out of position, bet-n-stop to induce big turn "bluff"
- don't invest too much to win small pots, even with a OK hand
- sometimes, when flop trip, use stop-n-go
- avoid losing too much when AK misses
- as the re-raiser, c-bet flop, not turn
- rarely, bet into HU weak raiser with cinch, c/r him. but do bet into strong hand
- bet big into strong hands with very big hand to build pot
Reading Opponents:
- fold one pair hand if bet big and get raised on flop (when deep)
- if opponent bets weakly after scare card, he mostly ready to fold
- if opponent betting out of position, they are usually strong, especially if the pot is multiway
- if opponent bets weakly after you call his raise, he is probably ready to fold to a big raise
- if aggro lead big into multi-way, it means he has big hand, min-raise him with 2-pair+ HU, but be cautious with 1-pair hands
- small re-raise followed by small c/bet = weak - c/r him and bet turn
- aggression elevate is usually very strong
- check/raise against aggressor means great strength, be careful
- think a little in big bet situation
Facing big raise:
- have i acted strong thus far?
- am i strong enough to beat a hand that beats a strong hand?
- does his bet look like he wants a call?
- does his bet look like he fears a raise?
- don't raise (or too much) donk bet with set
- GET THE MONEY IN when your hand is strong! (trip w good kicker, set, top two pair, or complete hands)
General Rules:
- draw as cheaply as possible in a raised pot
- when board develops for others, don't overbet (or "protect your hand")
- check behind with a vulnerable made hand HU to reduce risk
- don't slow play 1 pair hand OOP
- in big pot with big stack - protect the stack
Bluffing:
- avoid spending too much stealing
- avoid bluffing too frequently
- rarely bluff on the river, instead, bluff on turn if opportunity presents
- avoid bluffing with too much money
- avoid bluffing opponents that display strength
- delayed bluff-raise in small pot doesn't work well
- semi bluff best starts on flop
- never bluff when tilt (or tilt image)
