Pre-flop aggression - a different perspective

v

The standard train of thought bestowed upon us when we first learn how to play poker is to ramp up our pre-flop aggression, and to really push our hands, sometimes more than were comfortable with. In doing so we're put in many awkward situations, in bloated pots, with little to no clue in how to proceed in the hand, often giving up a lot of value that our hands give should be giving us.


This video training video gives us a newer perspective on how we should approach our pre-flop aggression, and how to combat villains that are overaggressive with their pre-flop play. It's entertaining as well! Lots of MSPaint bunnies, raccoons, and rocks.

    I do that a lot in friendly games. Just kind of mess around and see what i could get away with, rather than playing for everyones money, lol.

    I usually just try my luck, I don't like playing serious poker with my friends, but this will come in handy when I'm at the casino!

    Great post! I've always sat back and taken care of people who are overly aggressive before the flop. Thanks for the info. I can't wait to see more of your blog!
