Poker Strategy One-Liners

[Aequitas58]

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Maybe, if it gets popular, TP will make this thread a sticky ... I think many people could find it useful.

This could be a thread where we all post poker "tid-bits" of strategy. The piece of information doesn't HAVE to be one-line, but if you want to post something, try to keep it short, simple, easy to understand, and as clear as possible.

I would imagine that there would be discussion about certain tid-bits, so for ease of reading, when you post a new tactic or strategy, BOLD it. This way, someone can scroll down quickly and find lots of useful facts.

Good Idea? You be the judge.

I'll start us off regarding the types of hands you need to raise vs. call a raise:

Generally, when calling a raise, you need a stronger hand than you would if you were to originally make that raise. This is commonly known as "the Gap Concept."

I like this thread.


You gotta know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run.

LOL.

In NL, KJo is a weak hand.

I disagree. Well, kind of. Here's how I would have written it:
In NL, KJo is a *dangerous* hand.

Depending on the table, I suppose. Gametime is great for this sort of thing.

You should ALWAYS call a raise with a pocket pair if the raise pf is less than or equal to 5% of your stack and opponents stack. If it's more than 10%, just let it go. In the middle, it's up to your discretion. This is called the 5/10 rule.

Ok, that might be more than a one liner.
