Top 5 Most Asked Questions About Poker

1.Why does the solver recommend folding AQo to 3-bets?

A solver often recommends folding Ace-Queen offsuit (AQo) to a 3-bet due to several factors tied to game theory optimal (GTO) play, equity, and positional dynamics. But there are even more considerations when playing against your average low stakes player.

A. Equity Against 3-Bet Ranges

When running AQo in an equity calculator against typical low-stakes 3-bet ranges, it shows approximately 36% equity. This is not ideal when facing a 3-bet, as AQo is often dominated by stronger hands like AK, QQ+, and even suited Aces. If you are out of position, this problem becomes even worse, as it is difficult to realize the full equity of your hand. Playing out of position adds complexity, reduces profitability, and increases the likelihood of making costly mistakes .

B. Reverse Implied Odds

AQo has significant reverse implied odds, meaning it can lead to costly situations when dominated by hands like AK or AQ suited. This risk is amplified in multi-street play, as committing chips with a dominated hand often results in losing larger pots .

C. Positional Disadvantages

When out of position, AQo struggles to realize equity effectively. Even when facing a rare low-stakes opponent who includes some preflop “bluffs” in their 3-bet range, such as A5 suited, JT suited, and 65 suited, it remains difficult to realize your equity. Out of position, you will often be forced to navigate complex postflop decisions where opponents can leverage their positional advantage to deny your equity realization


2.What are some tells to identify weaker players or ‘fish’ at the table?

A.Playing Too Many Hands
Bad players often enter the pot with a wide range of weak hands, ignoring position and strength. They rarely fold preflop, making them easy targets for skilled players who tighten up and exploit their loose tendencies.

B.Mostly Limping and Being Passive
Frequent limping signals inexperience or fear of aggression. Passive players rarely raise, preferring to call or limp, which makes it hard for them to build pots or protect their equity. This playstyle is exploitable with aggression.

C.Not Buying in for a Full 100 Big Blinds
Short-stacked players who buy in for less than the table maximum often lack confidence or a proper bankroll strategy. This limits their ability to play effectively postflop and makes them more predictable.


3.How should I adjust my play when facing different bet sizes post-flop?

In live low-stakes no-limit hold’em cash games, players often telegraph the strength of their hands through their bet sizing. Here’s a concise breakdown of how you can exploit this tendency effectively:

A.Responding to Large Bets: Large bets typically indicate very strong hands. Against players who follow this pattern, you can confidently fold marginal hands, minimizing losses in situations where you are likely to be beaten.

B.Responding to Small Bets:

* With Strong Hands: When opponents bet small, indicating weakness, capitalize by simply calling or occasionally raising for value. This traps them into continuing with weaker holdings.
* With Weak Hands: You can use small bets as an opportunity to bluff with hands that have no showdown value. A well-timed raise can force them to fold weak holdings, allowing you to win the pot without a strong hand.

Recognizing and exploiting betting patterns helps you control the game flow. For instance, when opponents telegraph weak hands with small bets, you can either take the pot with aggressive raises or extract maximum value from your stronger hands by avoiding over-raising, which might scare them off.


4.How do I balance my range to remain unpredictable to observant opponents?

Unless you have observant studied players about table it’s isn’t necessary to spend much time worrying about balance. You will make far more money focusing on exploiting the weak players massive mistake. While good players would adjust to your exploits, making you exploitable, your average low stakes players never will adjust.


5.What adjustments should I make when playing against calling stations?

A. Value bet aggressively. Bet all of your top pair hands, solid second pair hands with good kickers, and extract values from their weak hands and draws.

B. Use large bet sizings with your strong value hands. Instead of betting 1/2 pot or 2/3 pot, go larger and bet nearly pot. Versus some calling stations you can even get called by over bet sizings.

C. Don’t bluff. And only semi bluff with your strongest draws with the most equity.

D. Throw flop C-bet frequencies out the window. Only C-bet when you have a value hand.

C. Avoid tilt when they draw out on you. A calling station that is running hot can make for a very frustrating session.

D. Don’t pay them off. When they change from passive calling, to betting or raising, only call them when you have the most nutted hands. Fold everything else.

Use code: lowlimitFor 25% discount No limit Texas holdem is a complex and challenging game that requires a lot of skill and strategy to master. There is no simple answer to how to win, but there are some general tips that can help you improve your game. Here are some of them:* Play fewer hands and play them aggressively. Don’t be the first player to limp (just call the big blind) preflop, as this gives away your hand strength and invites other players to join the pot. Instead, raise with your strong and playable hands, and fold the rest. This way, you can win the pot before the flop or put pressure on your opponents after the flop.* Semi-bluff aggressively with your draws. A semi-bluff is a bet or raise with a hand that has a chance to improve on later streets, such as a flush draw or a straight draw. By semi-bluffing, you can either win the pot right away or hit your draw and win a big pot. Semi-bluffing also disguises your hand, making it harder for your opponents to put you on a range.* Fast-play your strong hands to build the pot and make more money. When you have a very strong hand, such as a set, a straight, or a flush, you want to get as much money in the pot as possible. Don’t slow-play or check back your strong hands, as this gives your opponents a chance to catch up or get a free card. Bet and raise big with your strong hands and make your opponents pay to see more cards.* Defend your “creative” hands you raise more when in position and never when out of position. So you raised 98 suited from the lowjack and the cutoff 3b you 3.5x. Sure your hand is pretty but it’s going to be very hard to win from out of position. Basically you will need to nail the flop which is very hard to do. On the other hand , if you raised the same hand from the button and the big blind 3b you, you can call in position because there are more ways you can win given your positional advantage. * Fold when you’re unsure. One of the most common mistakes that beginners make is calling too much when they are not sure if they have the best hand or not. This can be very costly in the long run, as you will lose more money than you win by chasing marginal hands or hoping for a miracle card. If you are facing a big bet or raise and you don’t have a clear reason to call, it’s better to fold and save your chips for a better spot.

S04E29 - How To Play Pocket Sixes - Poker Cash Games

S04E29 - How To Play Pocket Sixes - Poker Cash Games

Todays poker strategy is how to play pocket sixes. Become a fan of the podcast or check out the full poker training with a poker private coaching option as well: http://lowlimitcashgames.com The best way to ramp your game up and know how to play any hand in any spot by drilling it over and over again: https://advancedpokertraining.... Use code: lowlimit For 25% discount Pocket sixes in no limit hold'em can be a tricky hand to play, as it falls in the middle range of pocket pairs. I find that people are very confused about the best way to play small pocket pairs like sixes profitably. Here are some general rules of thumb to follow: 1. Position is crucial: Your position at the table plays a significant role in how you should play pocket sixes. If you are in early position in a full ring game that is 8 or 9 handed, it's generally better to fold them since you don't want to risk too much money playing out of position. There are far too many people left to act who can wake up with hands that have you dominated. And even if they have a hand you are flipping with like overcards it will be incredibly difficult to realize your equity playing out of position. In middle or late position, you can play them if the action has folded to you. You always want to enter the pot with a raise with this and all other playable hands when the action has folded to you. The one spot you can just call with your pocket sixes is on the button. You are guaranteed to be last to act post flop and can often take pots even if you don’t hit your set or the board has over cards when it is checked to you. 2. Look for value: Pocket sixes are not a premium hand, so you need to look for opportunities to get value from them. One way to do this is by playing them in multi-way pots where you can potentially hit a set and win a big pot. This will be primarily by just calling with them on the button and occasionally on the big blind. When you play pocket sixes multi-way like this you are essentially set mining. This means it’s very important that the other players in the hand have deep stacks along with your own stack. To insure you can play this hand profitably make sure the effective stacks are at least 15 times the amount of money you have to call to see the flop. 3. Consider the table dynamics: The way your opponents are playing can affect your decision to play pocket sixes. If your opponents are playing tight like in some early morning live cash games or online, you may want to try to steal blinds or make a small raise to see a cheap flop. If they are playing loose and aggressive, it might be better to fold and wait for a better spot unless you are in position which great implied odds to try and hit a set as mentioned before. 4. Pay attention to stack sizes: Your stack size and your opponents' stack sizes can also play a role in how you play pocket sixes especially in a tournament setting. If you have a short stack, it might be better to shove all-in pre-flop to avoid playing out of position post-flop. If it folds to you in late position and you only have 15 big blinds then shoving all in is likely the best play. On the other hand If your opponents have short stacks and you are in late position, you can use your pocket sixes to put pressure on them and try to steal their blinds by making small raises. 5. Be prepared to fold: As with any hand, it's important to be prepared to fold pocket sixes if the situation warrants it. If you face a big raise or re-raise, or if the flop doesn't bring any help, it's better to cut your losses and move on to the next hand. Pocket sixes can be a challenging hand to play in no limit hold'em, but with the right approach, you can turn them into a profitable hand. Remember to consider your position, look for value, pay attention to table dynamics and stack sizes, and be prepared to fold when necessary. By following these guidelines, you'll be able to make the most of your pocket sixes and increase your chances of winning at the poker table.
