The first step in Texas Hold'em is ""what to do before the flop."" There are many ways to play before the flop in Texas Hold'em, and naturally, there are many flawed strategies. Today, we will discuss the five most common ones and tell you how to fix these pre-flop flaws.
It's not that calling is always wrong, but overall, choosing to call and enter the pot before the flop is a passive strategy that makes you look ""inferior"" right from the start of the game. Playing this way is very passive, and once you decide to call and enter the pot, your only way to win the pot is to play perfectly after the flop. However, playing well after the flop is much more challenging than making the right moves before the flop.
When playing Texas Hold'em, you should have a clear understanding of the pre-flop hand ranges for each position and know which hands are playable and which are not in different positions. Playing too many weak hands before the flop, even if you have strong post-flop skills, will lead to losses in the long run.
Playing too tight is also a problem. Many players believe that being tight is a good thing, but playing too tight can actually hurt your profitability. Playing too tight leads to two folds: the first fold is unintentionally folding many hands that could have been profitable, and the second fold is not getting the full value from your strong hands because your opponents realize that you have a narrow range and are more likely to fold when you enter the pot.
Among the common flaws in players, entering the pot without a plan or having a too casual approach to pre-flop play is the ""original sin."" To succeed in poker, the first step is to develop an almost flawless pre-flop strategy. Before entering a hand, you should be clear about when to raise if the players before you fold, understand when to call and what hands to call with, and know when to fold and what hands to fold when facing raises or re-raises. These are all part of your pre-flop game plan." |
