Strategy Round-up: Tight as Hell...NOT?

To play tight or to play tight as hell? This week's videos will give you an answer to that and a lot more, as AnnaKurnikowa and others have made sure to provide you with plenty of interesting videos.

PokerStrategyWhy did the chicken cross the road and why should we play poker tight as hell? While the answer to the first question probably won't bolster your profits in poker, the second one might do the trick.

annakurnikowa has recorded this week an NL SSS $20 live video in which he plays tight and explains the basics of such play and the reasons why and when we should play that way in the first place.

If Fixed Limit suits you more, then check out this week's video by terrorblade in which he shows you how to crush the FL $0.25/$0.50 limit. To see the list of all videos released this week, check below:

Quizzes, articles and other updates

Fixed Limit players are put to test this week as our quiz is dedicated to the weak draws: overcards, backdoor flush draws and backdoor straight draws. While weak draws are almost irrelevant in No Limit, they can make the difference between call, fold or even raise in Fixed Limit poker.

Without mastering the technique of adequately discounting our outs and factoring in even the weakest of draws, it's impossible to be successful on the upper echelons of Fixed Limit gameplay so don't hesitate to check your knowledge in our quiz of the week:
