Clik here to view.Some of the best poker strategies to which you can subscribe are actually the simplest. They are … common sense strategies, if you will. At the onset, they may seem incredibly self explanatory, they may even seem almost painfully obvious — and, indeed, they are. But you would be amazed at how many people need to be told about the little common sense strategies we will be discussing in the next few weeks. And hey, you never know — they might help you out a little, as well.
There is one fundamental thing you need to understand: you do not have to play every single hand. In fact, you should not do that, under any circumstances. Your opponents are not going to be impressed by your ability to play even the most dreadful hands. In fact, they will likely take advantage of it, because that trait is a definite flaw.
Do not be afraid to fold. By doing so, especially on those crap hands, you will make yourself seem safely unpredictable — you won’t seem like a hotheaded wild card, but neither will you seem like a player who plays it so safe, you actually become boring.
