Our popular new small stakes coach asimos returns with both a video and a webinar in his Play Loose, Win Big series, which is designed to increase your profits and enjoyment from poker. 

Following the theory and practice videos for playing Under The Gun and Middle Position, his new Gold+ video will look at playing loose from the Cutoff.

This is a position where you stand to win a lot of money and most players loosen up their ranges, as you have the chance to both steal and play in position.  

This video will cover:

  • What our ranges should be from the Cutoff
  • How to beat the Button and the Blinds
  • Being vulnerable to 3-bets
  • Adjusting to players who know you are on a wide range

If you want to learn more about how our coach developed this loose winning style, you may also want to follow his popular blog, which since 2014 has been documenting his steady rise from NL25 to where he is now.

Warning: Please be advised that in order to win with a loose playing style, you need to be aware of what is going on pre and post flop. Simply playing more hands will not win you money on its own.

  

We recommend you watch the video, ask questions and discuss the strategy advice in our forums.
