4 Step Plan for BvB Confrontations

1. Set your ranges

2. Know your opponent

3. Plan the hand

4. Follow through with your plan

Post-flop Play in BvB situations

Challenge

Here’s my challenge to you for this episode:  Open up Flopzilla and do some Ace combo counting.  How many Aces does a 10% calling range have?  What about a 15, a 25, or even a 30% calling range?  How many Aces does a 15% opening range contain?  What about a 20 or a 35% opening range?  Start doing some work on this off the tables and you’ll soon realize that an Ace on the flop isn’t the scariest thing when you’re not holding an Ace yourself.

Now it’s your turn to take action and do something positive for your poker game.

25NL Cash Game Poker Commentary

A listener named John Burke sent in a suggestion:

Hey Sky, I’m on a road trip today and listening to some of your older podcasts. I’m writing because I thought of a good idea for some podcast episodes that I would love and I’m sure others would appreciate as well.

Last night I was watching some poker on TV trying to analyze how the others were playing to improve my game. I’m thinking to myself right now, “What if Sky did a 30 minute to 1 hour LIVE commentary of him playing a poker game online. The podcast would basically be your live commentary through every hand, even the ones that you are not in.

This would allow the listeners to get LIVE advice and tips from you while playing a hand, learn from actual game experience, and add a nice addition to the podcast.

Let me know what you think.

I love it, thanks, John.
