Master Playing the Game

 How to build a poker strategy


You can quickly get good at poker by creating a solid poker strategy. You can master poker by creating a solid foundation strategy. Then, you can use that core strategy to guide your decisions as you consider the dynamics of the table. The key to maximising profit in poker is to adapt to other players' actions.


You'll find that you form similar plans for common situations through experience. You will end up with a mental inventory that is full of specific lines that you will use against particular opponent types or table dynamics. However, it is important to have a baseline to work from. This is why it is important to have a solid vacuum strategy.


What You'll Learn

We discussed advanced strategy principles of Texas Hold'em in part 3. Now is the time to translate poker theory into practice and build a real gameplan for playing at the poker table.


This is where you will need to create a strategic and tactically sound core game. It is important to keep in mind that optimizing your game will help you become a better player. This includes more than just the gameplay. You need to focus on the mental side and develop a system for improving your game. You can do this by creating a Core Strategy.

It is essential to have a basic "vacuum" strategy in place. It makes it easy to make the right decisions and allows you focus on the key aspects that drive profit in poker. These include:


The goal is to have a consistent line of play in every situation that you may face at the table. You should have positionally-specific ranges for open, 3-betting or 4-betting as well as calling and limping. After the flop you will need a vacuum c, check-raising and donk-betting range. In fact, you will know your vacuum play instantly, since you have 100% of the action.


How do I choose the right vacuum ranges & lines?

Your vacuum strategy should be customized to the nature of the game you play. This will differ from poker room-to- poker room. What I mean is that if you play on a site that is typically composed of strong regulars, your standard strategy might be very different than if you play on a more recreational-oriented site that typically has two to three fish on your average table. A strategy that works for everyone is not possible. You will need to look at the play on your site before you can create one. I will still go over the pre-flop as well as post-flop principles and guide you to building your core strategy. improve your poker game through post flop play
