1- The bigger the effective stack the better hand you need to stack off

2- When playing low stakes and facing a large river bet, if you are down to trying to count blockers to justify a call, you should fold

3- If you think about poker in terms of how many hands you win rather than how much money you profit, then you are thinking about poker incorrectly.

4- Expect to be only marginally profitable long term from early positions. Even with good holdings. And knowing this, let that guide you as to what you should even be playing early.

5- Expect to be wildly profitable when playing in position. Even with marginal holdings. And knowing this, let that guide you as to what you should be playing late, particularly on the button.

6- Just because we play solid ranges which largely is made up of good preflop hands, we are not trying to make hands to win. Sure, at low stakes it a ton about best hand poker. But that’s what your opponents are also doing. We need to be doing more. Taking pots without hands when possible. Getting max value when we do make hands. Losing the minimum when boards become unfavorable. Folding when clearly beat. Etc

7- Suited connectors are pretty. They are not profitable from early position. And break even or slightly profitable from late position. Overall from all positions most likely break even or losing when played correctly by really good players. Not a really good player? Then you are losing with them.
