Today LuckyLukePS once again brings together his two best coaching topics - tournaments and psychology.

Today, with one of his students, our coach uses HoldemResources Calculator to show you how to develop your preflop instincts. The more hardwired the best play is, the easier it is to make the right decisions in the moment at the tables. 

So expect some deep MTT theory mixed in with psychological concepts. Topics include:

  • How to use the Range Equity tool to visualise your instincts in shove spots 
  • How to correct your current instincts
  • Tips to improve your memory
  • Recommended exercises to complete to help improve this part of your game

If you haven't already we highly recommend you try our free trial of HoldemResources Calculator to sharpen these instincts.
