Some read Brian. But to be honest nothing any poker player doesnt really know or read before.



Now, when I am talking about postflop play, I am really talking about the playing capability of your hand postflop. When evaluating your hand in any given situation, it is important to evaluate the hand from the perspective of the next step. For instance, if you have A Q preflop, it is important to evaluate the situation postflop. Let’s say you are on the button with A Q and there is a 4x BB raise in front of you as well as 3 calls. Let us assume that the raise was in E/MP (Early/middle position) and the 3 callers are of course in front of you. In my approach to cash games, I would advocate folding the A Q preflop for a couple reasons:

Basic poker player info, I mean A-Q, NOT really a great hand is it.

I could hi-lite and comment on probably the whole article but really I am confused and surprised you found it so helpful, all his points are basic and some very novicey. Any basic poker article on how to play cover most of what he says.

What to Play - OK, we are still on point here with heads up pots. I will define heads up here strictly as a situation where it is only you and one opponent in the hand together. The types of hands you want to play in these situations are as follows:

Any big pair - This is of course common sense (AA - JJ)

Ohh come on.....I mean whats this about?


As always, this is just scratching the surface of NL cash strategy as there are so many intricacies to the game that I am not even sure I could explain quite honestly. I hope that this approach to NL cash helps you in your play and most importantly in your ability to make money. As always, feedback and questions are appreciated/welcome and if there is anything you feel I missed, please let me know.

Well, am afraid I will ask my questions on here, atleast I know there are a few players with experience on here, this guy writes poker like my wife plays...BADLY.

Am not knocking you Brian but the article is poor. IMO
