reading opponents trumps the rest hard no contest
Focus on fold equity over bluffing, it works.
Bankroll management is the real foundation, without it you can’t even stay in the game logn enough to use the other skills.
I used to think bluffing was the holy grail util I lost three buy ins in one night trying to rep a hand nobody believed. These days I swear by bankroll management, my profit chart finally stopped looking like a rollercoaster.
I once called a guy's all in with ace high because of a tiny eyebrow twitch I spotted, and ever since then I've been convinced reading opponents is the real superpower.
bankroll management borees me to tears tho
id go with bankroll management even tho its the boring choice. i mean you can read someone perfectly and still go broke if your sizing is off or you take too many shots. its not flashy but it keeps you at the table which is half the battle honestly.
I bluffed a guy off a full house once with a missed straight draw and honestly I still think about how fast my heart was pounding.
honestly the instant mastery part is what gets me, picking one would mean skipping the thousands of meessy hands where you actually learn the other two lol
I once bluffed with 7 2 offsuit and actually won lol
I once folded kings preflop, and the guy showed aces. Still hurts.
