Ten days of Poker Wisdom (that you probably haven't heard that much before I hope)
Day 1: "If your opponent is so good he has you counting combos either before, during, or after your session.... He's probably beating you."
Day 2: "It is possible to be a winning player w/ your strategy but lose for years...playing poker to make money is a big gamble even if you are in the top 5% of players in the world."
Day 3: "In HUNL, it is incredibly important to know how many gutshots you have when constructing your bluff/value betting frequencies and ranges. Memorizing this for different board textures is good."
Day 4: "Poker players often don't speak of or consider the concept of Risk Adjusted Return, instead they push most edges they see regardless of volatility. In fact, one needs to consider how often a scenario will occur against an opponent over the entire volume of hands against him/her to decide if its a good edge to push. Additionally, there may be less volatile edges to push that yield a more certain profit given the uncertainty of future action. Different bankrolls, the deepness of stacks, the street of the mistake, and availability of other edges all factor into which mistakes I will even seek to exploit against an opponent."
Day 5: "It is very very difficult to remain balanced on dry turn and river cards that follow dry flops in HUNL as the Continuation Bettor. This is because most of the time people have a hard time double or tripple barreling hands that aren't traditional semi bluffs and on dry flops there just arent that many available. Thus you gotta bluff some complete non drawey air. I prefer hands that block his value calls and can hit pairs higher than second pair (these are tough to see b/c most of the time they are broadway type hands that feel a little too strong to bluff on traditional boards). It takes a lot of work away from the tables to build such a range as opposed to other more intuitive spots. Ironically dry boards occur way more often than wet/drawey boards by definition so a lot of EV can be added to one's game by focusing on such spots."
Day 6: "If someone is running hot and crushing you, there will likely be an illusion that you are being run over and that they are being a little more aggressive than what seems optimal. However, this is precisely the best situation to OVER FOLD. Very few players bluff enough after a stretch where they are up a lot of money and have been running well, thus, if they bet they likely have a value hand."
