All respected poker theorists recommend a aggressive style

When the collection can not be true

Denial of protection for your hands finished almost always a mistake. This allows the enemy to look favourably following map, although you could make it discharges (or compel the following card to pay for more than it benefits). From time to time thanks to this he will dostraivat your hand and then you'll lose Bank, which could belong to you. If a large bank, his loss is very serious. In multipot (Bank, which involves several players) your mistake amplified because you give the card did not even pull one, but two or three opponents.

Because of that refusal to protect your hands is such a serious error in large and multipot-banks, usually you must play the flop very aggressively. When a player, after which you operate, put, you almost always have to choose between reyz and fold. If your hand is too strong to be reset, then do reyz. The Collection will almost always be wrong, because it does not protect your hand.

Sample. You are in the small blind to cast a shoe in the $ 4-8 game with cards Qd 7d

6 players made a limp, you are simply too supplements ($ 2), the big blind makes a cheque (in a bank of 8 small bets). Rent flop, Qc 8s 2h

giving you top pair with a weak kicker. You do a check, hoping that the move to return to the game will allow you to determine how likely that your hand - the best. All in a circle doing a check and only puts the button (in the bank 9 small bets).

Most likely your hand is best. If one had limperov Q with the best kicker, for instance, QJ or QT, he would have likely made a bid. A button, although it may have a hand, but apart from them it is possible and a weaker hand. It can be hand like pocket pairs 99, or A8. Can even the worst hand, many players will do away with a pair of bid-to-2 dyryavym Straight or with nothing.

The bank 9 small bets. You have determined that most likely your hand - the best thus discharged will be wrong. Once you decide to continue the game, the need reyz. Behind you 6 players that may have weak hands incomplete. They also can be 8 or 2 (if they have 5 outs to improve) or dyryavy Street (4 out). If you simply equate, it will defend its refusal to hand the hands of opponents.

Sometimes the button will have top pair with the best kicker. Even in the cases of one of the players, who made a check for the flop, actually arranged trap with a strong hand. In these cases, you may regret that reyz done, and could maintain this bid. But remember: reyz when you have to equate it could cost you 1 bet. A collection when needed reyz could cost you the whole bank. Lost here and there separate bids easily stored sometimes offset by banks. About the author Photo: Ed Miller

My opinion about this book

The book "Small Stakes Holdem" ( "Nizkolimitny Hold'em" or SSH, as it is called between players) describes how economically-aggressive play poker and maximise gains in nizkolimitnyh games. This is a very important topic. At the same time, this book is about poker is not a textbook and in my opinion not very well organized. The author frequently expresses very general terms, and implied that the reader is familiar with many concepts and facts, some of which refers to "the recent history of poker" and they can only learn from the Internet forums. Also, he often refers the reader to books by other authors. Although in general the book is the same as would be played in those games myself, that is consistent with my experience, but often the author admits to unchain care in the game, forgetting stress in what circumstances this can be done and clarify when to do so not worth it. This makes it impossible to recommend this book as the sole book about poker. Her reading is combined with a book giving more substantive information about game theory, for example, "Theory of Poker", author David Sklansky. In general, SSH refers to books that are certainly worth reading if you are interested in poker earnings, even if for that, you have to learn English.
