Modern Poker Theory: Building an unbeatable strategy based on GTO principles

Product Information

I love the game of poker and, after finishing writing this book, all I want to do is hit the tables with everything I’ve got. By approaching each poker hand in this way they don’t need to think about how good is their opponent (leveling wars) because no matter how good they are, by making the correct GTO play they are making money in the long run. However, with so much new software available and so many new theories about play, it's difficult to make sense of it all. The best players take this even further and, while thinking about their opponents range, they also think about their own range and how it fares against their opponents range, in terms of equity, range polarization, balance, nut advantage and many other concepts that will be addressed throughout this book. You would be better purchasing HRC or alike and get better value here as it is difficult to learn from 50+ individual charts from a book.

There are 78 total hands above the diagonal and four different suits for each, so there are 78 × 4 = 312 total combos of suited hands. The answers to all these questions – and much, much more – can be found in the two new video series from Michael Acevedo.His background as a mathematician and expertise in process improvement helped him master the theoretical aspects of poker. com with ADVANCED BONUS in the subject header and attach proof of purchase of the Advanced Video Pack (screenshot)and we will send you a link to download it . In No-Limit Texas Hold'em, GTO has become increasingly more popular in the last 10 years and the majority of professional poker players have adjusted their playstyles to be as close to GTO as possible.

The players who have studied Modern Poker Theory will, without doubt, have a better theoretical and practical understanding of No-Limit Hold’em. It organizes the ideas and concepts in an intuitive manner that is totally focused to practical applications. When he showed me the Heads-Up Display (HUD) he had constructed in Hold’em Manager, I was impressed, and even a little envious. With this approach, your opponent will have a much harder time putting you on a range of hands which will prevent him from exploiting you. It is designed to be a completely practical guide to implementing GTO (game theory optimal) strategies at the table.

The biggest reason why most people do not maximize their winnings versus the recreational poker players is because they simply aren't involved in enough pots against them. That HUD, combined with Michael’s background knowledge and eagerness, led me to invite him into a study group of which I was a member and which also included elite, high-stakes players such as Stephen Chidwick, Elio Fox and Martin Kozlov. Two Pair (10 Combos) AJ: The A♣ and the J♥ are on the flop, we block the A♦, so there are 2 aces and 3 jacks remaining. For example, if Villain never raises hands such as T9s or medium pocket pairs then, after they raise, their opponents will know on a flop like 8♣7♠6♦ that they can’t have straights, sets or two pairs, and that their range will consist only of overpairs and overcards. Speculative Hand: A hand that is unlikely to be best at the moment but can improve to a powerful holding later.

From the start of our first session, I was struck by his level of enthusiasm and theoretical knowledge. There are 13 different ranks of pairs and 6 different ways to make a PP of any rank, so there are 13 × 6 = 78 combinations of pocket pairs. You want to keep your foot firmly on the gas pedal against weaker players, because this gives off the vibe to them that you are a wild and crazy player. I have put my heart into this book and did my best to make it different from all other theory books, most of which present heavy-duty theoretical work with little or no consideration for practical application.In fact, there is no bigger thrill in the game for them than putting on their sheriff's hat and catching you in a big bluff!
