Master Advanced Poker Strategies

[ming73098]

To master advanced poker strategies, you'll want to focus on several key areas:​

1. Hand Ranges and Equity: Learn to calculate and understand hand ranges and how they interact with different board textures. Use tools like poker equity calculators to see how your hand performs against your opponent's range.​

2. Position and Table Dynamics: Adapt your strategy based on your position at the table and how other players are behaving. Position affects how aggressively or conservatively you should play.​

3. Bluffing and Semi-Bluffing: Develop a sense for when and how to bluff effectively. Semi-bluffing, where you have a chance to improve your hand, can be particularly powerful.​

4. Bet Sizing: Master the art of bet sizing to control the pot and manipulate your opponents. Different bet sizes can convey different messages and influence their decisions.​

5. Adjustments: Be able to adjust your strategy based on your opponents' tendencies and the flow of the game. This includes changing your playstyle based on whether they are tight or loose, passive or aggressive.​

6. Psychological Tactics: Work on reading opponents’ tells and understanding their psychological tendencies. This can help you make better decisions about when to fold, call, or raise.​

7. Game Theory Optimal (GTO) Play: Study GTO concepts to understand how to balance your strategy and make it less exploitable. This involves knowing when to mix up your play to avoid being predictable.​

8. Post-Flop Strategy: Develop skills for playing well after the flop, including understanding pot odds, implied odds, and how to extract value from your hands.​

Incorporate these advanced strategies into your play and consistently review your sessions to identify areas for improvement.​

I like your thoughts here it is a good share overall.

Some issues however
2- We want to think about all our actions as aggressive---for example we could aggressively check to trap or to protect our equity or to get reads on Villains IP to us so that we might better evaluate our relative hand strength and our future street actions

Conservative is a range reference not an action reference- one might mistake conservative action for passivity which we never want to be
Passivity means we are incorrectly not being aggressive. Slow playing the nuts- delayed C-bets -delayed semi bluffs etc etc is not being conservative or passive Even when checking down hands correctly it is not passive or conservative

3 We do not want to try to develop a sense for bluffing- we want to develop strategies for bluffing based on board and player reads. Card removal -range advantage- nut advantage - Villain errors etc

7 GTO play is balanced play- if we play GTO strategies we never mix up our play to be unpredictable because GTO means you have the nuts and you have bluffs when you act and our V already do not know which it is. GTO play is literally unpredictable in it's design---The failure of effective use of gto strategies is what makes it seem predictable-- Funny enough when a "GTO" player does not range read correctly vs a V type they are no longer playing gto they have effectively become exploitable.

As I said overall great job and I hope my thoughts may have value for you and others.
