Evaluating every hand.

Many players don't take the time to study a hand before making his/her decision. Here are a few steps I go over before I make my decisions at the table.

1. Opponent(s) and range of hands- What type of player(s) are involved? Loose/tight, passive/aggressive. What range of hands are they playing?

2. Position - How many are there acting before/after me pre/post flop.

3. Stack sizes - What is my M? What are the stack sizes of my opponents. What is the size of the pot going to be? Do I have equity against my opponent's stacks?

This is what I go over pre-flop before I decide to enter the pot. Post flop, I will re-evaluate the situation by narrowing down my opponent's range after gaining more information with each street.

Take the time to make the best educated decision during every hand! I promise you'll improve your game!

Good Info! I would appreciate not giving another info like this. We don't want our opponent to learn and become a good player. Lets keep them a donkey, calling station, and our own personal ATM. Got it?

Should have given that info to Biggiestyle before the tourney lol. You both probably would have lasted longer. Congrats on the WSOP
