Day #4 – Poker Nerd
You know that guy who always quotes the odds and outs any time two hands are flipped over before the river? The guy who compares the two hands at showdown in terms of how they were doing on the flop and how the turn card changed things for one of them? Well I’m not urging you to be him, and I know you won’t, because you can keep your knowledge to yourself. Instead of becoming that guy, I just want you to learn a few of his skills.
It doesn’t do you much good to learn all about your opponents and put them on accurate hand ranges, only to have no idea how your hand plays against that range. Information is useless if you don’t know how to use it, so open up Poker Stove again and start to run all those hands you got in the last exercise through the stove. Take a guess before you run each hand against the actual hand that your opponent held if you end up seeing it at showdown, and run it against the range of hands you expected him to have as well.
If you do this for even part of a day, you will have a much better feel for how hands play against each other and what kind of range you can handle if your opponent calls. If you have a good feel for the way hands play against ranges, you’ll be well prepared for putting everything together on day five.
