Nuances
of pre-flop hand selection or playing variations on the
later betting rounds can add a few dollars to your expected
win. Decisions about where to sit can double or triple your
expected win.
It's common among poker players to think of a 10/20 game
as potentially more profitable than a 3/6 game simply because
the 10/20 betting structure is so much larger, but if the
players aren't putting a lot of bets into the pot, then
it's entirely possible for a 3/6 game consisting of loose
and aggressive players to be a larger game, with more money
flowing around the table than a 10/20 game of tight, passive
players. The game with the larger betting limits is not
always the larger game, and it's not always the better game.
If you don't limit your play to games you can beat, then
you aren't likely to beat the game. Game selection is the
most important element of poker. I've seen some estimates
that it's 80 percent of what makes a winning player.
Your winnings from poker don't come from your excellent
play. If everyone played perfectly, then the money would
just be passed |
