Push-Fold Strategy in Poker
When to carry on?? When to let it go??
Poker is a game of Choices and each choice you make makes you?
Make your choices in such a way that it creates a huge impact on your bottom line and manipulates your opponents' mind and his game.
Push-Fold Strategy, also known as ' all-in or fold' is one such strategy which is easy to understand and easy to execute leading to high profits in Short-Stacked decks.
What is Push-Fold Strategy
Here you have to stick to only 2 options --- either All-in or Fold?.
By choosing? All-in? or fold at the right time, you are giving yourself a chance to re-live and a ground a strong foot in the tournament by not losing the valuable chips and make your double-ups counts.
When, Where, Why
While playing a tournament, when u land up in having 10 big blinds or less, and the blinds are rising, you can no longer risk to spend your chips on sting betting or by raising or matching in all odd bets. Thus here you should strategize and make full utilization of whatever is left with you.
How to strategize the right way
Sometimes easy and straight forward decisions lead us to a long way...
In order to survive, avoid confrontation.
If your opponent has already raised high bets on pre-flops or post flops then fold to avoid confrontation until and unless you have really strong cards in hand like pocket pairs (aces, kings, queens, jacks) or suited cards of the same color (ace-king, king-queen, queen-jack).
Advantages:
? You get a chance to save your blinds and antes.
? High probability of one or two opponents to get into a confrontation and with someone losing his entire stack.
? Thus, your chances of survival increases and opponents also get knocked out.
On the other side, you are having an average hand, you can actually decide to push all-in in pre-flops and double your chance of winning. With a high bet amount, there are high chances that most of the players will fold in pre-flop. In case all the opponent's fold, you get the blinds thus increasing your stack size. In case you are called in, you can get lucky enough to win the entire pot.
Always remember, more the opponents on the table playing, less are the chances of your winning.
Some points to ponder when applying this strategy:
? Be always the first player in the pot until n unless you have really strong cards and you want to be called in by your opponents.
? If your position is strong, it will be easy for you to knock out your opponents
? Do not take a risk until n unless you have strong winning hands.
? If your opponents are playing big stacks, or are into loose betting, constrict your shoving range.
? Call only when you have premium cards on high bets/blinds.
? Try and play with less number of opponents, less number of players, more chances of winning.
REMEMBER "We cannot change the cards that are dealt, but wise men play till the end and win at any odds".
