Some player react differently when raised. I feel like the pot value and your stack size have a big impact on the effect. You can guess some bluff because of positioning too!


Yes, a player's position certainly helps us to range them and thereby help us calculate the likelihood of a bluff!

It is amazing the idea about "relative position" cause your strategy should change completely at the time that the players before you post their bets. A totally different game happens when someone raise or bet before you.

Hello, I have a question regarding the 30 day course. The other day I started it, and today I entered my course again to continue with the second class and it gives me the option to start the course. How can I save the progress? Or should I not? I'm half lost, I hope your help. Thank you and good hands.

Good question. It's probably easiest to just continue reading the eBook starting on the next day and then watch the new day's video on the site. Apart from that, I don't think there's a Save feature. Sorry if this was unclear!

Location at the table can tell us a certain range of hands in the future. The position provides information and time to analyze actions performed by other players before us. I think that understanding this will help avoid unpleasant situations where we don't want to be involved in a big pot.

Hahaha I am amused by using it as though it’s as common as saying hijack when it’s not of course lol. The LoJack always struck me as a celebrity couple type name—back when the trend was to combine every Hollywood couple’s names into one [emoji38]

So this one would be like Lindsey Lohan and Jack Black, basically the funniest insane couple in Hollywood...lol

Hello!

Everyone talks about this course in such a way that I hastily started to learn English, since I am Russian-speaking!))

the button is the best position of all always always they will always fear you for that position the only way they don't respect you and have a pair of AA or KK.

I feel to many players do not take advantage of position. You can be dealt poor cards,does not matter, and a late position raise can easily take the pot. Punish the limper!
