More ICMizer and SNG Coach Study

icmizer-pokerI have been spending a lot of time working on my game recently, and one of my favorite tools to use is ICMizer’s SNG Coach feature. This program puts you in numerous tricky situations and you have to decide which hands you should go all-in with and which you should fold. While I am decently good at these situations, I am far from perfect. I am confident that if I study diligently, I will eventually become quite close to perfect. Since I strive to bring you the best educational poker content, here are two videos two me studying with ICMizer’s SNG Coach feature. Be sure to click the “full screen” option at the bottom right of the video so you can see all the numbers. …

Combating a Maniac

3534The following hand is from one of my newest books, Jonathan Little on Live No-Limit Cash Games, Volume 2, The Practice.

When to skip hands at the poker table

33333I recently traveled to Atlantic City, New Jersey for a World Poker Tour event at Borgata and I was shocked at how many players were willing to voluntarily miss numerous hands at the table, presumably to go on a smoke break, go to the bathroom, or try to get off tilt after a tough loss. 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. …
