  • Best poker podcast out there

    This podcast has taught me a ton, pointed me towards learning even more, and is the single-greatest factor in me purchasing two separate Upswing courses. It provides extremely clear and concise intros to winning strategies in numerous critical concepts.

Any paired card that is Broadway, 10-10-X, Jack-Jack-X, Queen-Queen-X, King-King, and Ace-Ace-X.
Should You Be a Nit? (w/ Uri Peleg)

Uri explains that in situations where there are strong players at the table, like professionals, it is often best to play tighter and avoid marginal hands for better postflop scenarios.

Q: What's your default open raise size when the action folds to you?
Anywhere between $7 to $10 will be completely fine here, but if we've got a really strong hand, let's go a little bigger.
