“Think Like A Pro, Act Like A Champion”; Most Powerful Poker No-Limit Cash Games Strategies

By Victor Velescu, Sr

Cash games are different from tournaments.
It may look like the same and one poker game but there are some very different strategies.
Even if some people excel at tournaments and some others excel at cash games, it’s still needed a proper adjustment in order to be a winner.

These ideas and strategies were developed along almost 2 years, during which I studied in detail players tendencies and behaviors from Micro and Small Stakes to create a compact book based on deep thoughts that can easily be understood by beginners and intermediates.

I am proud to say now that after all my experience and my work, this book can very easy help anyone to have a strong, solid play but only with some patience and desire to learn.

“Think like a Pro, Act like a Champion” contain:

-Optimum strategies street by street for Flop, Turn, River with different scenarios, different actions according to our opponents;
-A simple and very easy to understand math that explains how to spy most profitable spots;
-A psychology section;
-Some nutrition tips cause nutrition plays a big role in our decision-making and help our power of concentration.

Pre-flop strategies

The main difference between shorthanded games (6 max.) and full ring is only pre-flop where there is both more aggression and a wider playable range since there are fewer positions and fewer players to act.

The equity poker principle explain why should we raise pre-flop our strong hands:

Thin the field - we do not want to give other players the opportunity to catch up with their speculative hands such as suited or unsuited connectors, small pairs, Ax suited and we want to charge those hands in order to make mistakes.

Ex:

If we have aces and Player A has nines, we are favorite to win in 80% of the time.

If we have aces, Player A has nines and Player B has jack-ten suited, then we are only 68.5% favorite, Player A has 15.7% and Player B 15.8% chance to win.

This time if we have aces again, Player A has nines, Player B has jack-ten suited and Player C has trey-deuce off-suited we can notice that now our aces now have only 56% chance to win, Player A 15.8%, Player B 16.3%, Player C 11.4%.

In conclusion we have to think very well when we have a big hand because we do not want to land in a multi way pot with these types of hands. We want post-flop one, maximum 2 opponents to play with.

Of course there are cases when players limp with big hands especially from early positions because they know that there’s a big chance that somebody (especially an aggressive player) will raise behind them either for value with a big hand or just to isolate the limpers and then they can easily come over the top with a re-raise.

It’s true that a limp and then a re-raise from an early position is a very cheap trapping with a monster but this move will almost surely set alarm in other players minds and it’s unavoidable not to expose that we have a big hand.

Buying position –Pre-flop when we are in middle position or even in late position such as cutoff or button and there are very few player left to act behind us, we raise because we want those players that would
