Hi Guys,
FL is back! From next week on (3rd of November) a new poker course will start. It takes place every Monday 9.15pm CET.
Hope to see you, Please post your feedback here!
Decision Making in Limit Hold´em
Guess what - FL is alive!
In this course we will focus on the process of decision making in Poker. If you are at the table facing a decision you only have a few seconds. Regarding the complexity of the game in order to make a decent decision one has to rely on automatisms, that necessarily remain unconscious to some degree. However the quality of those automatisms is not only connected with good 'intuition' or 'feeling'. To a larger degree - as we know - it is connected with our understanding of the underlying strategic elements of the game. Also the process differs depending on our specific approach to the game.
Very often we are not completely aware of why we make a certain decisions. In fact players rarely reflect on what the criteria are they use in their decision making process in different situations. Nowadays this should be an even bigger issue since there is no consensus among the FL-Community on the question how big a role modern GTO-principles should play in our approach. In this Course we want to step back and reflect on the criteria we use on certain decisions, that will include the individual emphasis of stats, reads, exploitive ideas or GTO-reasons. The goal is to figure out whether our approach fits the limit we play and whether we can find any room for improvement.
1. Gameplan - standard and deviation
In the Coaching we start with a overview of the possible criteria of decision making. The following aspects will be carved out:
- The Use of stats
- The Use of assumptions of population tendencies
- The Use of reads / history
- The Use of GTO-Principles
It will then be practically shown how one can integrate both a GTO and exploitive approach and make it the foundation of every decision making process. We will create a gameplan for a certain szenario and then think about how we should deviate from it given certain opponents and limits.
2. Application: Hand Review
With the foundation of the theoretical approach in the first coaching we now have a look how we can use the toolbox in order to analyse single hands in a post-session review. We will analyze the hands under a changing focus- It will be outlined how the outcome of our decision making process can change if we change the criteria we use and how the single aspects mix and interact in certain scenarios.
3. Application: Liveplay
The Content will now be applicated in 'real-life', when we only have a few seconds for our decision. I will reflect on every decision i make with regard to the question what the underlying criteria are that were used for the decision.
4. Application: Quiz
Applying the content from the former lessons, in this coaching we´ll go interactive with a quiz where one has to choose not only a decision but reflect on the criteria used for getting there.
