How does one strategize in poker?

The dynamics of the game make it difficult to understand and use strategies. In order to familiarize oneself with such strategies of the game, the fundamental theorem of poker was introduced by poker player David Sklansky. This theorem is entirely based on the concept of poker as a mind-game and requires players to make decisions despite having half information. Other than the theorem, here are few points one must follow.

Playing fewer hands but aggressively

How does a poker play fewer hands but also aggressively? Players must develop a solid preflop strategy. If you play too many hands, then your chip stack would eventually bleed away. In order to avoid that, players must use a solid preflop strategy and play with only fewer hands.

Fold when you are unsure

This tip may seem like something you already know about, but hey, there’s a lot more to it. The biggest difference between a good and bad player is that a good player can even lay down a pair when they think that there are no chances for them to take the pot. This sounds quite simple, but it is very difficult to practice this strategy. Our brains are built in a manner that we wish to try and approach anything till the very end. When we choose to fold, we surrender. This ability to give up is not innate in human beings, hence one has to effectively learn to do so.

Playing with confidence

The whole point of poker is that one is never 100% sure about which cards do the opponents hold. The key idea in poker Is to play like you already know what cards your opponents have. Bottom line is that you should try to be better than half of the players on your table. Always keep a poker checklist ready.
