Extract from the book: Poker is a seemingly simply game on the surface. But, as
many people coming to learn the game have discovered, it’s actually quite
complex. However, every complex decision in poker can really be boiled down to
two things, the two keys to good poker. So, without further ado, here are the
two keys to good poker.
1. Accurate assumptions
2. Making the best decision
It’s so simple, but it really defines the decision process for players. This
concept is the foundation of anything I do with poker and will really help
beginners and experts alike put the game in perspective, create goals and
analyze poker situations. Let’s begin by defining these two keys. First, let’s
look at accurate assumptions. I find it easiest to break this into two sections.
One is concerning our opponent’s range of hands, and the other is how he will
play that range. This key uses deductive reasoning to determine what hands are
likely for the opponent to have. Players like to call this “hand-reading”. This
key also uses deductive reasoning to predict what decisions (like betting,
calling or folding) the opponent will make with those hands. The second key is
making the best decision. We’ll simply say this key involves making the decision
that makes the most money. After we’ve determined our assumptions in the first
key, the second key comes along with mathematics to show us what play makes us
the most money on average. And, of course, that's the focus of this book. We use
mathematics to decide what play is best.
