Studying poker with ICMizer
When I first started playing poker, I would spend 6 hours per day grinding sit n’ go’s and 4 hours reviewing my hands using a now-defunct program called Sit N’ Go Power Tools. Eventually I moved to multi-table tournaments and stopped studying push-fold situations because I thought I knew them perfectly.
While watching the 2015 WSOP Main Event (I review 31 hands from the final table here), I saw someone call an all-in in a situation where I thought it could easily be bad. I knew ICMizer was the go-to final table push-fold authority, so I downloaded the program and saw that the player in question should call or fold based almost entirely on the payout structure. …

Would you have played this spot as Steinberg did or would you have picked a different option? Let me know in the comments section below. If you want to play perfectly in push/fold situations, be sure to use ICMizer to analyze your game and hone your skills.

Weekly Poker Hand #70
I discuss developing a limping strategy when you have a middle stack at a final table and there is an aggressive large stack on your left. These two hands demonstrate how failing to make this adjustment cost Max Steinberg dearly at the 2015 WSOP Final Table.

Fun hand from a $1/$2 live cash game
I was asked by a large number of my students to get some experience playing the small stakes live games so I could make a training product to help them crush those specific games. I did exactly that, and Strategies for Beating Small Stakes Cash Games was born. I owe a huge amount of thanks to everyone who inspired me to make this book! Thank you for making it the #1 Best-Selling Poker book on Amazon!
Today I am going to share a hand with you from a $1/$2 live cash game at Borgata, in Atlantic City. My table will populated with mostly 50-70 year old recreational players who liked to limp with almost their entire range of playable hands. When someone raised, it was usually to 6 big blinds, which typically resulted in everyone folding. Talk about a great game! …
