Folding Your Life Away

Rate this Entry
Most poker advice that you will receive concerns the act of aggression. Betfair Poker online often mirrors life and having aggressive traits will help you win more situations than you lose. But sometimes there are games where aggression will not be enough; sometimes you need to be content to just fold your life away.

Imagine you are playing in a live dealers choice cash game. There are six of you in the game and nobody folds pre flop. The usual norm is for a series of calls before the player on the button makes his standard raise, followed by a series of calls. If everyone plays in the same fashion then it is a mistake. There are strong and weak hands in any game of cards that you play. If you are playing every hand then you must be playing weak hands as well as strong hands. Position is also key in poker and there are good positions and bad positions. If you are playing every hand then you are playing bad hands in bad positions.

So what is the alternative?

In these games the alternative strategy is to fold. You fold all of your trash hands and wait for your best hands. If you consider the fact that your opponents are playing weak hands, out of position, and you have strong hands, in position, then it is a poker players dream come true. But folding is not as easy as it sounds. Our natural inclination is to look for and want action. If this is a problem for you then take a book with you or focus your attention learning how your opponents play while quietly folding your life away.
