Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Let's now add top pair
Let's now add top pair to your opponent’s range, and say that 33% of the time they are check-raising top pair, draws, and two pair. Your equity is going to drop all the way down to 38.3% against your opponent’s range, making it a clear fold.
And finally, just to round it out
And finally, just to round it out et's add that 25% of the time your opponent is check- raising sets, draws, two pair, and top pair equally. Your equity is going to drop down to 33.9% against your opponent’s range. The wider and more diverse the range gets, the more difficult the decision is going to be for your opponent.
