The aim of this poker strategy guide is to teach you how to really win at poker. There are lots of poker strategy websites out there, but it seems like most of them just regurgitate the same old, tired principles time after time. Instead, I will explain to you what it truly takes to win.
If you’re new to poker, don’t worry; I’m still going cover all the fundamentals you need to know. But I’m going to do it in a way that makes sense and that makes it easy to apply to real money poker games. I can still remember what it was like getting started as new players, back when terms like “expected value” and “reverse implied odds” sounded like gibberish.
As this poker strategy guide progresses, we will delve into more and more advanced topics. These topics, however, will be explained in a down-to-earth manner with the goal of making it as easy to comprehend as possible. As you will come to find out, many “complicated” poker concepts aren’t actually so complicated after all.
