I limp behind. Isolating, never mind opening, like cbetting, is overrated these days. No one folds. Everyone loves you splashing it in there, trying to define your hand, hoping something good will happen. It’s a minefield. They call 12x opens, they flat behind with aces. As poker knowledge grows and the pernicious influence of the…
In all my endeavors I have been a good but imperfect teacher, and so far, my experience in poker coaching is bearing this out.

My “Maximizing” challenge is up in one month. It has been a disaster. Instead of finding myself in a desired place of fiscal strength after six months of poker, I am back where I started nearly two years ago, and looking at some tough choices. I had placed something of a marker on last’s night…
