There are a lot of midcurvers who know all the odds and everything.  They get pissed when you make decisions based on things other than odds.

My goal in the game is to piss those people off cause it’s the most fun.  drive for the straight and flush draws.  Check when you’re supposed to bet, etc.

+1. Fold often and early. Like pre flop. Play hands that are playable. (Generally pocket pair/high cards maybe same suites) Until you’re rich enough that you can play less playable hands. But by that point people will think you only play playable hands so they’ll fold easily so bait them with smaller bets.

fold more often than you think you should

Oh man, excited to hear the results.

Two things to think about:
- What does the other person have?
- What are you gonna do about it?

For #2, either folding early or being aggressive and betting big are best. Calling a lot to see what happens (and then folding to pressure) generally doesn’t pan out well.

You got this!
