Default Re: Things it took me a while to learn part 6, Strategy and Mentality

Here's one:

"I can't play THIS hand on the button here."

Yes, you can.

"I'm OOP, so I will fold."

There are things you can do OOP. Just think about it.

"I don't want to get called by a dominating ace."

stop it. If you have a chance to make a strong push with the proper stack sizes, you have to do it. Your weak ace is almost never worse than 30%. And remember you have FE.

"I have xx, so I can't call here against this short stack push because it's 25% of my stack. I'll find a better spot.

Please consider the size of the pot and your stack size. If it's +EV, it's +EV, end of story.
