Typically, fold around 80% of your hands at a full table and prioritize pairs, broadways, and suited connectors on the button and cutoff. 2 Raise or Fold When First In When you are first to act in a pot, avoid limping (just calling the big blind). Instead, either raise with your selected hands or fold if the hand doesn't meet your standards. 3 Stop Calling Raises With Marginal Hands Avoid calling with weak or medium-strength hands after someone else has raised. Only call if you have a strong hand or a specific reason (like good pot odds). 4 Value Bet Relentlessly Against CallingStations Most low stakes opponents will call too often with weak hands, so bet big with your strong hands. Focus on extracting the most value when you hit top pair or better. 5 Punish Over-Callers and Tight Players Use bigger bet sizes to charge loose, passive players who chase draws. Against tight players who rarely bluff, bet smaller and be willing to fold to big bets. 6 Double Barrel (Bet Flop and Turn) Against Passive Players If opponents call your flop bet, often follow up with another bet on the turn ("double barrel"), as many low stakes players will fold if you continue showing strength. 7 Three-Bet Light in Position Occasionally re-raise ("three-bet") with hands such as suited connectors, suited aces, and small pairs from the button or cutoff against tight openers. Do not do this with junk hands. 8 Play More Hands in Late Position Actively seek to play hands when sitting near the dealer button or cutoff, as acting last gives you more information and control over the pot size and your actions. 9 Exploit Weakness; Don't Bluff Too Much Bluffing should be limited, as opponents call too often. Only bluff when you see clear signs of weakness and avoid elaborate moves, especially against calling stations. 10 Use Logical Systematic Decision Making Always analyze the situation: hand strength, position, previous action, and your opponent's tendencies. Stick to your plan and don't let emotions or tilt affect your choices. Review sessions afterward to improve your play. Hate AK?

Are you doing these 5 things at the poker table? If you want to crush low stakes holdem I have the most affordable training targeted to low stakes players only. I also have some one-on-one coaching. Plus free content. Get it here: https://lowlimitcashgames.com More info and links at the bottom of this. 5 Signs You’re The Fish Think AK is a drawing hand -If you get called by one person with an unpaired hand they miss the flop 2/3 of the time. Ace high is the best hand. KK are ace magnets -One ace will come on the flop about 21% of the time. -Of that 21% your opponent won’t even have an Ace in their hand. Think of all of the hands people call raises with. Worse pairs. Suited connectors. Etc Bet huge on AML flop with two suit with your AK cause you don’t wanna get sucked out on. -Target worse hands that can call. /On draw heavy boards bet big. But not because someone can suck out. Bet big because so many hands can continue for large sizing. Get paid. You wait until you see a “safe turn card” before you start betting you top pair hand. -You have no idea what a safe turn is. The 2 offsuit that you think is safe could give them a set. This is nonsensical thinking. You “have to see it” or “if you got it you got it.” If you can’t fold when beat then you are the fish. Yes. They hit the flush. They aren’t suddenly bluffing the river when the flush comes in. Fold. — Brand New! Free content monthly just for signing up as. Free follower. Articles, videos and more.

Today we are discussing how to play top pair top kicker out of position. For access to my coaching site specifically for low stakes cash games, one-on-one poker coaching, or to become a fan of the pod: https://lowlimitcashgames.com In no-limit hold’em, navigating a **top pair hand out of position (OOP)** on the flop with **two opponents in position** requires balancing aggression, protection, and pot control. The strategy hinges on **flop texture**, opponent tendencies, stack depths, and prior action. Below is a detailed breakdown of when to bet, check, check-raise, or bet-fold: 1. Flop Texture ✅Dry Flops (e.g., K♦ 3♠ 2♥ – no draws, low connectivity) -Bet 25%-33% pot . -Dry board means they don’t have draws to continue -They mostly have nothing or worse Kx 🚩Medium Flops (e.g., **Q♣ 9♦ 4♣** several draws) -Bet 50% pot for value and protection. There are several draws. Open ended straight, gutshot straigh, and flush draws. With two opponents it’s fair that can have fair equity. Several turns make it dicey. We need to get value and charge those hands. Options Check-Raise? -Against aggressive opponents. If checked to, an aggressive player may bet with air or draws. Check-raising punishes their bluffs and builds the pot. Bet-Fold? -If facing a raise, assess opponent tendencies. Fold vs tight players; call vs loose or bluffy opponents that will raise with draws. 🚫Wet Flops (e.g., **J♠ T♦ 9 ♠** – middling cards, multiple draws, high connectivity) -Bet 35% pot for protection. -Wet boards threaten your equity with flush, straight, combo draws. Navigating turns and rivers will be difficult. Small bets and small pots is the objective. Options Check-Raise? -Highly effective here. Let opponents bet their draws, then raise to charge maximum. Example: If you check, a player with Q9 or 98 may bet. If you are 100bb deep check raising to get it all in against these hands heads up is profitable. The danger is raising into the nuts. Or very high equity hands. Bet-Fold? -Avoid unless facing a large raise from a passive player (indicates strong made hands like two-pair/sets/straights). 2. Opponent-Specific Adjustments -Passive Opponents: Bet smaller (50-60% pot) for value. They’ll rarely bluff-raise, so bet-fold only vs large raises. -Aggressive Opponents: Check-raise wet boards to exploit their bluffs. On dry boards, bet and call down if raised (they may have air). -Loose calling stations: Bet larger (75%+ pot) for Max value. They’ll chase draws, so punish them. -Tight Players: Bet smaller and bet-fold to raises (they rarely bluff). 3. Stack Depth Adjustments - Short Stacks ( Bluff: Top pair is vulnerable; prioritize betting for value charging draws over bluffing. - Leverage Positional Disadvantage: Use check-raise to flip the positional script in the right configuration. - Adjust to Player Types: Exploit nits with small bets, calling stations with large bet sizes, maniacs with check-raises. -Avoid Hero Calls OOP: When raised, lean toward folding unless you have a read. Top pair OOP is a marginal hand in multi-way pots. Play it aggressively on dry boards, cautiously on wet ones, and always respect raises from tight opponents. FREE POKER TRAINING! Brand New!

SPR Zones: •SPR 1-2: Stack off with overpairs, top pair/top kicker. •SPR 3-5: Proceed more cautiously; fold TPGK to big aggression from nits. •SPR >5: Avoid unless holding strong hands Vs loose-passive players: •Open tighter. •Value-bet relentlessly. •No bluffing. Vs aggressive regs: •3-bet tighter, trap with top range. •Check-raise more with strong made hands. Opening Ranges by Position: •UTG (8-9%): •66+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs •UTG+1 (9-10%): •55+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs, QJs •MP1 (10-11%): •44+, ATs+, AJo+, KQs, QJs, JTs •MP2 (12-13%): •33+, A9s+, ATo+, KJs+, QJs, JTs, T9s •HJ (14-15%): •22+, A8s+, ATo+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, 98s, 87s •CO (20-22%): •Any pair, A2s+, A9o+, all suited broadways, QTo+, JTo, most suited connectors •BTN (35-40%): •All pairs, all suited aces, all broadways, most suited connectors and one-gappers, all suited kings down to K2s, offsuit broadways and gappers •SB (25-30%): •Strong suited aces, broadways, suited connectors — raise or fold, avoid limping •BB: •Defend tighter vs. early opens; wider vs. CO/BTN.

Much like the early steps to doing better at blackjack than everyone else using basic strategy, poker also has a basic strategy that will instantly improve nearly everyone’s game. From absolute beginner to even long time players. Get an episode of the Pod every single Sunday by becoming a fan of the pod. Or step up to full content training and private discord with me for only $25 And learn with me one-on-one when rare slots become available. PLUS: I’m not producing bonus content for free members as well. Pick your tier and sign up here: https://lowlimitcashgames.com Let’s break down the concept of **basic strategy** in poker and why it’s the foundation of becoming a winning player. What’s Basic Strategy? In games like blackjack, there’s a “basic strategy” that players memorize to minimize losses. For example, in blackjack, just by memorizing and following basic strategy can reduce your expected loss from 3-6% (if you’re just winging it) to 1% or less. Card counters take it even further by adjusting their play based on the cards left in the deck, allowing them to make smarter decisions and bet bigger when the odds are in their favor. By keeping count of the cards and knowing the composition of the remainder of the deck, this allows them to do things like modify the basic strategy when the count says you should stand on hands you would normally hit. Or split tens which you would normally never do. Or bet 3x or 5x or 9x your base bet. And if you happened to be at a table that accidentally flashed their down card 20% of the time you could massively deviate from basic strategy to crush even more. Poker has its own version of basic strategy, and it starts with preflop charts. These charts tell you which hands to play (and how to play them) based on your position at the table. Unlike blackjack, where basic strategy still leaves you at a slight disadvantage, mastering poker’s basic strategy can turn a losing player into a break-even or even slightly winning player—fast. Why Preflop Charts Matter Preflop charts are like your poker GPS. They guide you on: - Which hands to open (e.g., raising from under the gun vs. the cutoff). - When to fold, call, or raise based on your position and the action before you. By sticking to these charts, you avoid making costly mistakes early in the hand. For example, you’ll know not to play a weak hand from early position or to raise aggressively with strong hands in late position. This alone can transform your game from losing to break-even or better. Now let’s put all of this into perspective and build a plan around it. I’ll use another analogy, cooking, to help us develop this plan. Poker Basics: Build Your Game Like a Pro (Even If You’re Just Starting Out) Alright, let’s simplify poker strategy so you can *actually* remember it and use it. Imagine you’re learning to cook: you need to master the recipe first before you start improvising. Poker’s the same way. Here’s your step-by-step guide: --- Step 1: Learn the “Recipe” (Preflop Charts)** In poker, **preflop charts** are your recipe book. They tell you: - What hands to play (e.g., “Should I raise Ace-King from early position?”). - How to play them (fold, call, raise). Why this works: Most losing players hemorrhage money by playing too many weak hands. Preflop charts fix that. Memorize them, and you’ll instantly: ✅ Stop bleeding chips with junk hands. ✅ Make fewer “What was I thinking?!” mistakes. Start with **tight ranges** (play fewer hands) until you’re comfortable. Think of it like training wheels—they keep you safe while you learn. What range you should play from each position can easily be found by searching for poker charts online. There are many places with free resources. Just choose one that is tailored to live game and not GTO ranges or online ranges. Adjust to Your “Kitchen” (Table Dynamics)** Once you’ve memorized the basics, it’s time to adapt. Poker isn’t played in a vacuum—your opponents matter! Example...

I go into great detail about it all here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/... GTO or PTO? GTO - game theory optimal. Learning how to play in such a way that nobody can exploit you. Downsides. Most people that try to learn it don’t. Because it’s very hard. And even those that come close don’t understand how to deviate to exploit others. So they are winning the minimum most of the time. PTO - Population Theory Optimal or Pool Theory Optimal. Learning the habits and tendencies of the pool of players you play in and creating strategies against them as a group and individually to maximally exploit them. Downsides: if any of them ever smarten up and decided to exploit you getting out of line they could wreck you. This just isn’t going to happen at 1/2 or 1/3 stakes. And if anyone is capable of doing it you will know who they are very quickly and not fall prey to that. Online coaching gurus are doing this with databases bought or collected from online play. It’s called mass data analysis or MDA. In live play you don’t have a database other than the one you collect in your brain by playing. So you can’t get it by either playing for many many years. Or by being taught by someone who has.
