Limit Hold’em School: Raised Pots in Early Position in Full-Ring

Following on from the last article, I would like to discuss how to play against raises when you are in early position in a full-ring game. Now obviously if you are in early position then there are not many players to be heard from to your right. There will be only two players at most and probably only one player. If you have more than two players to your right then you are not in early position at all but middle position.

There can be subtle differences between certain seats and also depending on the actual game dynamics as well. Some positions in certain types of games play more like others, for example late position in a loose aggressive game could be a far more dangerous place to be than middle position in another game that was far more passive in nature.

But whenever there has been a raise from another player in early position and you are in early position yourself then you seriously need to respect this raise. Firstly your opponent is out of position and they also know that they are out of position as well but yet they have still made the raise.

Also what you have to remember is that the average mentality of a full-ring game player differs greatly to that of a six max or heads up player. When a player who has the option to choose any game or table that they wish in a large online card room chooses a full-ring game table over a six handed one, then this indicates something about not only their attitude to risk but also with regards to the pace at which they want to play poker as well.

So when a player raises in the UTG (under the gun) or the UTG+1 seats then the number of hands that you will play will be small as you already know the relative strength of their hand. I would definitely re-raise wit AA-QQ. Some other types of hand can be played more flexibly. You can call with hands like JJ, TT and AKs, AK or you could also re-raise with them.

Much depends on the actual game dynamic as well and if raises are getting called then you can possibly call with lower pocket pairs like 99 through 77. But hands like AQ and AJ needed to be played carefully as they are often dominated in this position. An AQs should definitely be played but AJ is a far weaker hand as is KQ. So just keep in mind what your opponents are raising with in early position at this form of poker.

Pro Poker Tips - Looking at some limit hold’em situations

s an add on to what I discussed in the previous articles on limit play, here I am going to be looking at some actual situations so you can see how certain concepts and ideas work. Carrying on with the subject of early position in full ring games, the types of hand that many people play badly are Broadway hands.

These are any hand that has two high cards or an ace with a high card. The problem with many of these hands is that they are all too likely dominated in certain situations. For instance a K-J would be dominated against AA,KK,QQ,JJ, AK, AJ and KQ. You would be in a situation where you would have to hit the flop twice to overtake the hand that you are up against.

So when someone raises from early position then you are really hoping that they are raising with AQ or maybe TT. Although as you progress as a poker player then you will be able to identify situations where dominated hands can be playable.

Let us look at one such situation, you have the Jd-10d in early position in a $1-$2 limit hold’em full ring game. You know that this hand is dominated by a large number of hands that could raise. But you have been sat in this game for quite some time and the number of raises have been limited.

No one has been raising limpers and the game has been very loose and passive. In this situation then you could limp in and probably play the hand profitably. It has good implied odds in multi-way pots and the hand plays well in those situations.

But you cannot overvalue this hand as it will play badly in many situations. However with this hand then you can even do quite well against a raise as well, let me explain. Let us say that you limped in with a suited J-10 because the game conditions were perfect. However on this one particular hand you were surprised to see it get folded around to the button who raised.

In this instance then the button could be raising on a far wider range of hands and be looking to isolate against the limper which is you. Depending on the player on the button then their hand could be very well comparable to yours and may often be inferior like with hands like J-9 or even 10-9.

Many players abuse their position on the button and think that it gives them the licence to basically do whatever they want and these are precisely the types of players who you would like to attack your limps.

Game-day: 11/1/2009

Kick-off: 1:00 pm EST

The New York Giants need to win a game while the Philadelphia Eagles are flying high with clipped wings. The G-Men suffered their second straight loss and only their second loss of this season in their last game when the Arizona Cardinals came into the Meadowlands and beat Eli Manning and company.

It was an embarrassing loss for the Giants. Coming off of a drubbing by the New Orleans Saints, more was expected of the G-Men in their game against Arizona. Now that the Giants aren’t being talked about as the best team in the NFL, football betting fans can concentrate on why the G-Men have not only lost their last two games straight-up but also against the spread.

There is one word that sums up New York’s issues the past two weeks: injuries. The Giants have been decimated by injuries to their #1 ranked defense. CB Corey Webster, DT Chris Canty and CB Aaron Ross are all questionable to play this Sunday. LB Michael Boley is out indefinitely and safety Kenny Phillips has been placed on I-R.

The injuries have been ongoing throughout this season. It was only a matter of time before the injuries to the Giants’ defense took a toll on the team. In the past two weeks the injury issues have really hurt New York. Having to face two of the better offenses in the NFL in the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals the past two weeks didn’t help matters either. Unfortunately for the Giants, Philadelphia’s offense is good as well.

But it’s not great because, like the Giants, the Eagles have had a few injuries to contend with. Their top offensive weapon in 2008, RB Brian Westbrook, is doubtful this Sunday. DeSean Jackson, who has been their best offensive weapon in 2009, is probable on Sunday. Donovan McNabb is healthy and Philadelphia did look good against Washington this past Monday night, but looks can be deceiving. Washington QB Jason Campbell threw a pick and the Redskins lost 3 fumbles. Take those turnovers away and Philly’s great victory over Washington might not have been a victory at all.

Below are the NFL sportsbook betting odds for this game.

  • New York Giants +1 -110 O 44 -110
  • Philadelphia Eagles -1 -110 U 44 -110

Here are a few football wagering trends for this game.

  • The New York Giants are 22 and 5 against the spread in their last 27 games on the road.
  • The New York Giants are 4 and 0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams in Philadelphia.
  • The Philadelphia Eagles are 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 games at home.
  • Now, let’s take a look at how the offenses and defenses matchup.

The first of these was the $2K Omaha Hi/Lo Split event, followed by the $2K Limit Hold 'em & Seven-Card Stud event.

More recently, Chris won the 2008 NBC Heads-Up Championship after battling through a tough 64-person field. He then made two more impressive finishes at the 2008 WSOP, with a 3rd place finish in the $1.5K No-Limit Hold ‘em event and 2nd place finish in the $5K World Championship 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo event.

TEXAS HOLS'em BASICS

Play Poker at Superbook.com

Along with the dramatic increase in popularity of poker in general, and Texas Holdem in particular, comes a tidal wave of new players who may not be newbies to poker itself, but definitely are beginners in comparison to experienced players. These beginning players have been influenced significantly by what they have seen on television. While this is cool and all, from a practical standpoint it has some disastrous implications for the beginners wanting to learn how to play Texas Hold'em. (Total novices can start with Texas Holdem Rules.)

To be blunt, if you watch Tiger Woods hook a three iron around a dogleg, over a sand trap, and then stop it on a dime on the green, don't try this at home, kids. That's not to say that all poker shown on television is Tiger Woods-like. Far from it. Some of the TV play is hopelessly bad -- if only because even the best players sometimes make terrible plays.


The thing newbies need to remember is that the poker hands we see on TV do not well represent what makes a great poker player. First and foremost, the truly great players in all game disciplines master the fundamentals. Ted Williams, Earl Anthony, Magic Johnson, Cheryl Miller, Joe Montana, Martina Navratilova... all these folks spent hours and hours on fundamentals even AFTER they were superstars. In fact, great players devote much of their time to improving at those fundamentals they aren't particularly good at.

Like any other game, Texas Hold'em has fundamental/basics that aren't very flashy or readily apparent, but must be mastered (and continually mastered) before excellence can be achieved.

Discipline. No skills matter if you don't have the wherewithal to follow through. If you know you shouldn't tilt, but tilt anyway, you suck at discipline. And, you suck as a poker player compared to the poker player you could be. You may still be better than average, but you are a shadow of what you should be. It is almost impossible to work too hard on your discipline.

Bets. The bet is the atom of poker. Chips are electrons and protons, but the bet is the building block of everything good and bad that takes place in poker -- if you play for money, that is. If you play to satisfy ego urges, rather than to win money, then you have different priorities, and you've blundered onto the wrong website. All ring game poker concepts revolve around the bet. (Tournaments are different. Surviving and being the lone winner are tournament concepts that don't transfer to ring games.) You are not trying to win pots. You are trying to get the best of it on bets. You are trying to wager money, make bets, with a mathematically favorable expectation. This involves having as a coincidental goal the winning of pots, but that is not the main goal, and certainly not the focus of our efforts. We simply want to get our money in with the best of it. Win or lose, good luck or bad luck, that really is not the point. Let the bad players fixate on the results. You should fixate on doing the right thing.

Having the discipline to do the right thing all the time (more or less) is the basic of the basics.

The blinds. Poker is a thinking person's game. When bets are made without thinking, either by bad players or when "forced" via the game rules (as blinds or antes are), this is the fundamental money at stake in the contest. Thoughtful play must significantly focus on the bets that are made thoughtlessly! Attack the bad players, and attack the blinds. Thoughtful players have an edge over semi-thoughtful players, but thoughtful players have enormous edges over bets made without thought (again, either by thoughtless/bad players or by any player because they are forced by the rules to make the bet).

Limit versus No Limit. Most of the Holdem on television is No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament poker. This is about as different from Limit Texas Holdem ring game poker as two things of the same species can get. Many of the winning tactics used in No Limit tournaments are either useless or counterproductive in Limit Texas Hold'em ring games. Chainsaws may cut most things better, but butter knifes are more appropriate for some tasks. Just because you saw a skilled lumberjack cut down an oak tree with one doesn't mean you should use a chainsaw to cut butter.

Starting hands. One of the most poorly considered basics of Texas Hold'em is the fixation novices have on starting hands, with a corresponding focus on starting hand charts and groups. Texas Hold'em is much more of a post-flop game than a pre-flop one, but novices and mediocre players fixate on following guidelines on starting hands. Without learning to understand why you are playing a certain hand, and how you intend to play it after a variety of different types of flops, you are fully missing the point of the game. Learn why and how to play hands, not the simplistic what to play. Learning how to play Texas Hold'em means learning to understand the reasons you are doing the "what" you are doing.

Fundamentals win ball games and poker games and games of every sort. Let the suckers try to buy lunch with their egos. You should focus on the basics of making thoughtful bets when you have the best of it, and then you can focus on buying lunch with your profits -- profits courtesy of the bad players, the ego players, and the players who simply don't work on the fundamentals enough.

There is no reason answer, or chart, or diagram you can refer that teaches you how to play Texas Holdem, if you want to win that is. But following the various links here will lead you through the web of related concepts you need to master.
