Multiway Pots
|
The frequency of multiway pots indicates that your opponents play many unprofitable hands
|
|
|
Three Hand Types
|
Top Pair Hands:(AJo) better against few opponents, but benefit from "dead money" multiway.
Speculative Hands:(44, 87s) better in multiway pots cheaply, but strong suited connectors can pay 2 bets. (never 3 or more) Powerhouse Hands: (KK, AKs) play well against many or few opponents. |
|
|
Dominated Hands
|
In short-handed pot, best pair wins => dominated hands lose money
but, multiway ability to make straights and flushes is valuable (QJs>KJs in raised pot) |
|
|
Suited Hands
|
Against 6 or more opponents, expect one or more suited hands
|
|
|
Costly Errors
|
1)Playing weak hands out of position - avoid marginal hands in early position
2)Cold calling raises with mediocre and dominated hands - play extremely tight with raise in front of you |
