The following hand is from one of my newest books, Jonathan Little on Live No-Limit Cash Games, Volume 2, The Practice.

I have been studying poker a ton recently and one of my favorite programs to work with is PokerSnowie. Since I strive to constantly bring you the best training material possible, I decided to record a few videos of me studying for you to watch.

Most of these players would simply get up and stroll away from the table with no concern for the hands they were missing. In reality, these players mucked a significant amount of equity. …
