How to fight for every pot

It's not enough to only play your A-game in the big pots, you also need to win the little ones, as this new Zoom video demonstrates.

Today we see Robert 'pokerguru740' Kuhn with another Mid Stakes Zoom video after a very popular video last time. 

One of the old maxims of poker was that the winners were the players who fought for the pots nobody else wanted. In 2016 our coach really took that advice to heart, as in this video you see him fight tooth and nail for almost every hand. 

Watch as he barely loses a pot of significance and shows the importance of playing your best, even in the smallest pots, which add up and impact your winrate over a big sample. 

In formats like Zoom it is particularly important to never pass up these small edges, because you do not have the luxury of reads on players or exploiting table image, so you need to be very consistent in every pot you play. 

Check out the previous videos in his Zoom series to learn more.
