1. Preflop Hand Selection
Tighten your opening range to top 15% of hands (e.g., 77+, AJo+, KQo) in early positions. Expand to top 25% (e.g., 55+, A9o+, KTo+) in late positions to exploit positional advantage.
2. Postflop Aggression
- C-bet 75% of flops as the preflop aggressor.
- Double-barrel (bet turn after c-bet) with equity-backed hands (flush/straight draws, overcards).
- Fold to resistance without strong equity or showdown value.
3. Stack Management
- Buy in for 100 big blinds to maximize implied odds.
- Avoid playing short-stacked (<50bb) unless exploiting passive tables.
4. Live Tells & Psychology
Observe opponents for physical tells (e.g., chip glance = strength) and bet timing (quick calls often indicate marginal hands).
