3. When the time arrives that you're holding the unbeatable hand – remember Nicholas Cage in Honeymoon in Vegas – make sure you make the players pay dearly to see it.
The nuts...a dream come true in poker. I am right now concentrating on my RAZZ and Omaha Eight games. Both of which are games where the nuts are obvious, and probable at least once an hour. I also am paying very careful attention to money management, and trying VERY hard to stay in "my game". Since I am working within my money management limits, right now, I am limiting myself to at most, $0.50/$1 games. These combinations make playing the nuts profitable. Too many lose players call and call and call with draws and dreams.
So, If/when I end up moving up in levels, I wonder if one of my most profitable moves (punishing the dreamers) will hurt my hourly rate. But at the time, I am in the position to take advantage of this tip to the max. Fits my game well.
On line players play too many hands, and call too much. I make a habit of always trying to figure out what the nut hand would be. It is now such a habit that often it takes little concentration. So, great tip, already a part of "my Game", but soemthing to always remember...punish punish punish.
These tips are part of my series on Poker tips, taken from Poker.net. Poker.net has an on-line section with 64 poker tips. Way back 4 and 1/2 decades ago, in Mr. Kirk's 5th grade class, I was taught; to write things out, was one of the best ways to commit to memory. So, rather than read over a list of tips, and forget most, I am going to commit myself to reading one a day, and writing my thoughts about it.
